Oekyuk 13
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Sulela kais sie mwet kol ke sruf singoul luo ah, ac supwalosla in som kalngeyuk ke luman acn Canaan, su nga ac fah sang nu sin mwet Israel.”
“Send out for yourself men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each of their fathers’ tribes send one man who is a leader among them.”
3 Ke ma inge Moses el oru oana, ac supwala mwet kol liki acn mwesis lun Paran, fal nu ke sap lun LEUM GOD, oana ma takla ten inge:
So at the consent of the LORD, Moses sent them out from the Wilderness of Paran. All the men were leaders of the Israelites,
4 Sruf Mwet Kol Reuben Shammua wen natul Zaccur Simeon Shaphat wen natul Hori Judah Caleb wen natul Jephunneh Issachar Igal wen natul Joseph Ephraim Hoshea wen natul Nun Benjamin Palti wen natul Raphu Zebulun Gaddiel wen natul Sodi Manasseh Gaddi wen natul Susi Dan Ammiel wen natul Gemalli Asher Sethur wen natul Michael Naphtali Nahbi wen natul Vophsi Gad Geuel wen natul Machi Pa inge mwet kalngeyuk su Moses el supwala in tuni ouiyen acn sac. El ekulla inel Hoshea wen natul Nun nu ke Joshua.
and these were their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;
from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
and from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
These were the names of the men Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses gave to Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.
17 Pacl se Moses el supwalos in som, el fahk nu selos, “Utyak ke inkanek nu epang, ac fahla nu layen eir lun acn Canaan, na fanyak nu in acn oasr eol we.
When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he told them, “Go up through the Negev and into the hill country.
18 Som ac liye lah acn we acn fuka se, ac liye lah pus ku pu mwet we. Liye pac lah mwet we elos mwet ku ku munas.
See what the land is like and whether its people are strong or weak, few or many.
19 Kowos in liye lah acn sac wo ku koluk, ac acn mwet uh muta we lah nien na aktuktuk, ku siti ma kuhlusyukyak ke pot ku.
Is the land where they live good or bad? Are the cities where they dwell open camps or fortifications?
20 Liye pac lah fohkon acn we wo, ac pus sak we. Ac ke kowos foloko, kowos in esam in use kutu fokinsak we.” (Pacl se inge grape uh mutawauk in mwesrla.)
Is the soil fertile or unproductive? Are there trees in it or not? Be courageous, and bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)
21 Ke ma inge mwet ah utyak nu epang ac tuni acn uh, mutawauk yen mwesis lun Zin, layen eir lac na nwe Rehab, su oan apkuran nu Innek In Utyak Nu Hamath, layen epang.
So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo-hamath.
22 Elos utyak meet nu layen eir ac tuku nu Hebron. (Siti se inge musaiyukyak yac itkosr meet liki Zoan in acn Egypt.) In acn Hebron elos liye sou lulap tolu lun Ahiman, Sheshai, ac Talmai, ma ke sou lun mwet na lulap pisa pangpang mwet Anak.
They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, dwelled. It had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
23 Elos tuku nu Infahlfal Eshcol, ac pakela lah se su ungin grape na toasr se oan kac. Ke sripen arulana toasr, enenu mwet luo in polongya us ke soko srenenu. Elos oayapa us kutu pomegranate ac fig. (
When they came to the Valley of Eshcol, they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes, which they carried on a pole between two men. They also took some pomegranates and figs.
24 Elos sang inen acn sac Infahlfal Eshcol ke sripen ungin grape se mwet Israel pakela we.)
Because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut there, that place was called the Valley of Eshcol.
25 Tukun elos forfor ac oru kalngeyuk lalos in acn sac ke len angngaul, na elos folokla
After forty days the men returned from spying out the land,
26 nu yorol Moses, Aaron, ac sruf nukewa lun Israel in acn Kadesh ke yen mwesis lun Paran. Elos srumun ma elos liye ac sang nu sin mwet uh fokinsak ma elos us tuku.
and they went back to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back a report for the whole congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Elos fahk nu sel Moses, “Kut som tuni facl sac ac konauk lah acn na mut ac kasrup fohk we. Pa inge kutu fokinsak we.
And they gave this account to Moses: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and indeed, it is flowing with milk and honey. Here is some of its fruit!
28 Tusruktu mwet ma muta we mwet na fokoko, ac siti selos uh arulana yohk ac potiyukyak ku. Sayen ma inge, kut tuh liye kutu koht we, ma ke fwilin tulik natul Anak.
Nevertheless, the people living in the land are strong, and the cities are large and fortified. We even saw the descendants of Anak there.
29 Mwet Amalek elos muta layen eir ke acn we. Mwet Hit, mwet Jebus, ac mwet Amor muta fineol uh, ac mwet Canaan muta sisken Meoa Mediterranean ac sisken Infacl Jordan.”
The Amalekites live in the land of the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan.”
30 Caleb el akmisyela mwet su lainul Moses, ac fahk, “Kut som ingena ac eisla acn we. Kut ku in kutangulosla.”
Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “We must go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly conquer it!”
31 A mwet ma welul Caleb som elos fahk, “Mo, kut tia ku in lainulos, mweyen mwet we uh arulana ku liki kut.”
But the men who had gone up with him replied, “We cannot go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are!”
32 Ouinge elos srumunelik kas sutuu ke acn se elos kalngeyuk we inmasrlon mwet Israel. Elos fahk mu, “Fokin acn we tia fal in sang kite mwet we. Mwet nukewa kut liye we mwet na loeska,
So they gave the Israelites a bad report about the land that they had spied out: “The land we explored devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw there are great in stature.
33 ac kut liye pac kutu mwet na lulap pisa we, pangpang Nephilim, su papa matu tumun mwet Anak. Ke kut liyalos kut oana koht srisrik sohksok uh nu selos.”
We even saw the Nephilim there—the descendants of Anak that come from the Nephilim! We seemed like grasshoppers in our own sight, and we must have seemed the same to them!”
