Okubala 13
1 Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 “Tuma abasajja bagende bakette beetegereze ensi ya Kanani gye ŋŋenda okuwa abaana ba Isirayiri. Mu buli kika kya bajjajja ojja kulondamu omusajja omu ku bakulembeze baakyo.”
'Send for thee men, and they spy the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man, one man for the tribe of his fathers ye do send, every one a prince among them.'
3 Bw’atyo Musa n’abatuma okuva mu ddungu lya Palani, ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda bwe kyali. Bonna baali bakulembeze b’abaana ba Isirayiri.
And Moses sendeth them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of Jehovah; all of them [are] men, heads of the sons of Israel they are,

16 Ago ge mannya ag’abasajja Musa be yatuma okugenda okuketta n’okwetegereza ensi eyo. Musa yali atuumye Koseya mutabani wa Nuuni erinnya Yoswa.
These [are] the names of the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land; and Moses calleth Hoshea son of Nun, Jehoshua.
17 Musa n’abatuma okuketta n’okwetegereza ensi ya Kanani, n’abagamba nti, “Mwambuke nga muyita mu Negebu muggukire mu nsi ey’ensozi.
And Moses sendeth them to spy the land of Canaan, and saith unto them, 'Go ye up this [way] into the south, and ye have gone up the mountain,
18 Mwetegerezenga ensi nga bw’efaanana, n’abantu baamu nga bwe bali, obanga ba maanyi oba banafu, obanga bangi oba batono.
and have seen the land what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble; whether it [is] few or many;
19 Mulyetegereza obanga ensi mwe babeera nnungi oba mbi. Era muliraba ebibuga byabwe obanga tebiriiko bisenge bya bbugwe oba byetooloddwa bigo.
and what the land [is] in which it is dwelling, whether it [is] good or bad; and what [are] the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses;
20 Mulikebera okulaba obanga ensi yaabwe ngimu oba nkalu, era obanga erimu emiti mingi oba temuli. Mwenywezanga ne muleetayo ku bibala eby’omu nsi eyo.” Ekyo kye kyali ekiseera ezabbibu nga zaakatandika okwengera.
And what the land [is], whether it [is] fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and ye have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land;' and the days [are] days of the first-fruits of grapes.
21 Awo ne bambuka ne beetegereza ensi okuva mu ddungu lya Zini okutuuka e Lekobu okumpi n’awayingirirwa mu Kamasi.
And they go up and spy the land, from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
22 Ne bambuka mu Negebu ne batuuka e Kebbulooni, era wano Akimaani ne Sesayi ne Talumaayi abazzukulu ba Anaki nga we babeera. Kebbulooni bwe kyamala okuzimbibwa waayitawo emyaka musanvu ne Zowani eky’omu Misiri nakyo ne kiryoka kizimbibwa.
and they go up by the south, and come in unto Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt),
23 Ne batuuka mu kiwonvu ekiyitibwa Esukoli ne batemamu ettabi limu eryaliko ekirimba kimu ekya zabbibu, abantu babiri ne bakireetera ku musituliro. Era ne baleeta ne ku makomamawanga ne ku ttiini.
and they come in unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch and one cluster of grapes, and they bear it on a staff by two, also [some] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 Ekifo ekyo ne kiyitibwa Ekiwonvu kya Esukoli, olw’ekirimba ekyo abaana ba Isirayiri kye baatemamu.
That place hath [one] called Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from thence.
25 Awo nga wayiseewo ennaku amakumi ana ne bakomawo nga bamaze okuketta ensi.
And they turn back from spying the land at the end of forty days.
26 Ne bajja eri Musa ne Alooni e Kadesi mu ddungu lya Palani. Ne babakomezaawo obubaka n’eri ekibiina kyonna, era ne babanjulira ebibala bye baggya mu nsi eyo.
And they go and come in unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company of the sons of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the company back word, and shew them the fruit of the land.
27 Ne bategeeza Musa nti, “Twatuuka mu nsi gye watutumamu: ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, ejjudde ebirungi ebyereere, era bino bye bibala byamu.
And they recount to him, and say, 'We came in unto the land whither thou hast sent us, and also it [is] flowing with milk and honey — and this [is] its fruit;
28 Naye nno abantu ababeera mu nsi omwo ba maanyi, n’ebibuga byabwe binene nnyo era byetooloddwako ebigo. Ate n’ekirala twalabaayo n’abazzukulu ba Anaki.
only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fenced, very great; and also children of Anak we have seen there.
29 Abamaleki babeera mu Negebu mu bukiikaddyo; Abakiiti n’Abayebusi, n’Abamoli babeera mu nsi ey’ensozi; n’Abakanani ne babeera okumpi n’ennyanja ne ku lubalama lw’omugga Yoludaani.”
Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite is dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.'
30 Awo Kalebu n’asirisa abantu awali Musa n’agamba nti, “Twambukirewo kaakano tutwale ensi eyo, kubanga ndaba nga tusobola okugiwangula.”
And Caleb stilleth the people concerning Moses, and saith, 'Let us certainly go up — and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able for it.'
31 Kyokka abaagenda ne Kalebu okuketta ne baddamu nti, “Abantu bali tetubasobola, batusinga amaanyi.”
And the men who have gone up with him said, 'We are not able to go up against the people, for it [is] stronger than we;'
32 Bwe batyo ne babunya mu baana ba Isirayiri alipoota etaali nnungi ng’efa ku nsi gye baali bagenze okuketta; nga bagamba nti, “Ensi gye twayitaayitamu nga tugiketta tesobola na kuliisa bantu baayo abagituulamu; ate n’abantu bonna be twalabamu baali ba kiwago.
and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied unto the sons of Israel, saying, 'The land into which we passed over to spy it, is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of stature;
33 Twalabayo n’Abanefisi, abazzukulu ba Anaki abava mu Banefiri. Bwe twetunulako nga tuli ng’obwacaaka, era nabo nga bwe batulaba bwe batyo.”
and there we saw the Nephilim, sons of Anak, of the Nephilim; and we are in our own eyes as grasshoppers; and so we were in their eyes.'
