Oekyuk 13
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And there, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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 men, who may examine the land of Canaan, which I will give to the sons of Israel, one from the rulers of each tribe.”
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:
Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending, from the desert of Paran, leading men, whose names are these:
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.
from the tribe of Ruben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
from the tribe of Ephraim, Hosea the son of Nun;
from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
from the tribe of Zebulon, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
from the tribe of Joseph, of the scepter of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
from the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi.
These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to examine the land. And he called Hosea, the son of Nun, 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.
And so, Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan, and he said to them: “Ascend by the south side. And when you arrive at the mountains,
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.
consider the land, as to what kind it may be, and the people, who are its inhabitants, whether they may be strong or weak, whether they may be few in number 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.
and the land itself, whether it is good or bad, what kind of cities, walled or without walls,
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.)
the soil, rich or barren, forested or without trees. Be strong, and bring us some of the fruits of the land.” Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes were ready to be eaten.
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.
And when they had ascended, they explored the land from the desert of Sin, all the way to Rehob, as one enters into 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.
And they ascended by the south side. And they arrived at Hebron, where there were Ahiman and Shishai and Talmai, the sons of Anak. For Hebron was founded seven years before Tanis, the city of 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. (
And continuing on as far as the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, they cut off a vine with its grapes, which two men carried on a board. Likewise, they took from the pomegranates and the figs of that place,
24 Elos sang inen acn sac Infahlfal Eshcol ke sripen ungin grape se mwet Israel pakela we.)
which was called Nehel Eshcol, that is, the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, because the sons of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes from there.
25 Tukun elos forfor ac oru kalngeyuk lalos in acn sac ke len angngaul, na elos folokla
And those exploring the land returned after forty days, having circulated through the entire region.
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 to Moses and Aaron, and to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel in the desert of Paran, which is in Kadesh. And speaking to them, and to the entire multitude, they showed them the fruits 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 explained, saying: “We went into the land, to which you sent us, which, it is true, flows with milk and honey, as one can know by these fruits.
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.
But it has very strong occupants, and the cities are great and also walled. We saw the race 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.”
Amalek lives in the south. The Hethite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite live in the mountains. And truly, the Canaanite stays near the sea and around the streams of the Jordan.”
30 Caleb el akmisyela mwet su lainul Moses, ac fahk, “Kut som ingena ac eisla acn we. Kut ku in kutangulosla.”
During these events, Caleb, to restrain the murmuring of the people who rose up against Moses, said, “Let us ascend and possess the land, for we will be able to obtain it.”
31 A mwet ma welul Caleb som elos fahk, “Mo, kut tia ku in lainulos, mweyen mwet we uh arulana ku liki kut.”
Yet truly, the others, who had been with him, were saying, “By no means are we able to ascend to this people, because 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,
And before the sons of Israel they disparaged the land, which they had inspected, saying: “The land, which we viewed, devours its inhabitants. The people, upon whom we gazed, were of lofty 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.”
There, we saw some monsters among the sons of Anak, of the race of giants; by comparison with them, we seemed like locusts.”
