Lutangu 13
1 Yave tubaka na Moyize:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 «Fidisa babakala na kwenda tala mbote-mbote na mansweki yinsi ya Kaana yina mu ke na kupesa na bana ya Isayeli. Beno fidisa muntu mosi-mosi ya konso kifumba. Bawu nyonso fwana kuvwanda bamfumu na kati ya bantu ya Isayeli.»
"Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them."
3 Moyize fidisaka babakala yango katuka yinsi ya kuyuma ya Palane mutindu vwandaka ntumunu ya Yave. Babakala yango nyonso vwandaka bamfumu ya bantu ya Isayeli.
Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

16 Yina ni bankumbu ya babakala yina Moyize fidisaka na kwenda tala mbote-mbote na mansweki yinsi ya Kaana. Moyize pesaka nkumbu ya Yeswa na Oseya mwana ya nune.
These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
17 Moyize fidisaka babakala yango na kwenda tala yinsi ya Kaana. Yandi tubaka na bawu: «Beno lutila na kizunga ya Nengeve, beno ke yuluka kizunga ya myongo.
Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way by the Negev, and go up into the hill country:
18 Beno ke tala yinsi mutindu yawu kele. Beno ke tala mutindu ya bantu yina ke zingaka kuna, kana bawu ke na ngolo to ve. Beno ke tala kana bawu kele mingi to ve.
and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
19 Beno ke tala wapi mutindu kele yinsi yina bawu ke vwandaka. Kana yawu kele ya mbote to ya yimbi. Beno ke tala mutindu kele bambanza yina bawu ke vwandaka. Kana yawu kele kaka bivwandu ya mpamba to yawu kele ya kutungama na bibaka ya lukengolo.
and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;
20 Beno tala wapi mutindu kele yinsi. Kana yawu kele ntoto ya madya to ve. Kana yawu kele na bayinti to ve. Beno vwanda na ngolo. Beno nata bambuma ya yinsi. Yayi ni ntangu ya bambuma ya ntete ya vinu.»
and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood in it, or not. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes."
21 Na manima, bawu kwendaka mpe bawu talaka yinsi, kubanda na yinsi ya kuyuma ya Sine tii na Leyobe, na nkotolo ya Amate.
So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to Lebo Hamath.
22 Ba lutilaka na Nengeve tii na Ebelone kisika vwandaka Ayimane, Sesayi mpe Talemayi. Bawu nyonso bana ya Anake. Mbanza Ebelone kutungama bamvula nsambwadi tekila mbanza ya Sowane ya Ngipiti.
They went up by the Negev, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 Bawu kumaka tii na muzumba ya Esekole. Kuna, bawu zengaka kintala mosi ya yinti ya vinu, kikanka mosi ya bambuma ya vinu mpe bawu nataka yawu. Bawu bakaka mpe bambuma ya bangelenade mpe ya fike. Bawu natinaka bambuma yina na bayinti, bantu zole-zole na yinti mosi.
They came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes on it, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
24 Ba pesaka kisika yina nkumbu ya Muzumba ya Esekole, yina zola kutuba: muzumba ya kikanka, samu ti bana ya Isayeli zengaka kikanka ya bambuma ya vinu kuna.
That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
25 Na manima ya bilumbu makumi yiya, bantu yina kwendaka tala mbote-mbote na mansweki yinsi ya kaana vutukaka.
They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
26 Ntangu bawu vutukaka, bawu kwendaka na sika ya Moyize, Aloni mpe mukangu nyonso ya bana ya Isayeli, kuna na Kadese, yinsi ya kuyuma ya Palane. Bawu pesaka bawu bansangu yina bawu nataka. Bawu pesaka yawu mpe na mukangu nyonso ya bana Isayeli, mpe bawu lakisaka bawu bambuma ya yinsi.
They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Ba zonzaka mutindu yayi: «Beto kwendaka na yinsi yina nge fidisaka beto. Ya tsyelika, ya kele yinsi yina me fuluka na mafuta ya nyosi na miliki. Bambuma ya yawu, yawu yayi.
They told him, and said, "We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.
28 Kasi bantu yina ke vwandaka na yinsi yango kele na ngolo mingi. Bambanza ya bawu kele ya kutungama na bibaka ya lukengolo mpe yawu kele nene mingi. Beto vwandaka me tala mpe bana ya Anake kuna.
However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there.
29 Ba-Amaleke vwandaka zinga na Nengeve. Ba-Iti, ba-Yebuse mpe ba-Amoli vwandaka zinga na kizunga ya myongo. Ba-Kaanani vwandaka zinga pene-pene ya mubu mpe na kumu ya nzadi ya Yolodani.»
Amalek dwells in the land of the Negev: and the Hethites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan."
30 Kalebe kangisaka bantu yinwa na meso ya Moyize. Yandi tubaka mutindu yayi: «Beto kwendeno, beto bakeno yinsi yango. Beto ke nunga!»
Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it."
31 Kasi bantu yina kwendaka tala yinsi kintwadi na Kalebe, bawu tubaka na yandi: «Beto lenda kwenda nwanisa bantu yina ve, samu ti bawu me lutila beto ngolo!»
But the men who went up with him said, "We aren't able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."
32 Na mantwala ya bana ya Isayeli, bawu bandaka na kuzonzila yinsi mutindu bawu tadilaka yawu na mansweki. Bawu tubaka: «Yinsi yango, beto me tambula na kati ya yawu samu na kutala yawu mbote-mbote na mansweki. Yawu kele yinsi mosi yina ke kudyaka bayina ke zingaka kuna. Bantu nyonso yina beto talaka kuna, bawu kele bantu ya mitela ya yinda.
They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 Beto talaka kuna ba-Nefilime, bana ya Anake yina kele mosi ya ba-Nefilime. Beto vwandaka kukitala beto mosi mutindu mwa makonko. Bawu mpe vwandaka tala beto mutindu yina.»
There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
