Nomery 13
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy, ka nanao hoe:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 Maniraha lehilahy vitsivitsy hisafo ny tany Kanana, izay omeko ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; dia lehilahy iray avy isam-pirazanany no hirahinareo, ka izay samy lohan’ ny fireneny avy.
“Send men for yourself, and they spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man—you send one man for the tribe of his fathers, everyone a prince among them.”
3 Ary Mosesy dia naniraka azy hiala any an-efitra Parana, araka ny didin’ i Jehovah; ary samy lohan’ ny firenen’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ireo lehilahy rehetra ireo.
And Moses sends them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of YHWH; all of them [are] men, [and] they are heads of the sons of Israel,
4 Ary izao no anarany: Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Robena dia Samoa, zanak’ i Zakora;
and these [are] their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
5 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Simeona dia Safata, zanak’ i Hory;
for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
6 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Joda dia Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone;
for the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
7 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ Isakara dia Jigala, zanak’ i Josefa;
for the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
8 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Efraima dia Hosea, zanak’ i Nona;
for the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea son of Nun;
9 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina dia Palty, zanak’ i Rafo;
for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
10 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Zebolona dia Gadiela, zanak’ i Sody;
for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
11 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Josefa, tamin’ ny firenen’ i Manase, dia Gady, zanak’ i Sosy;
for the tribe of Joseph (for the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
12 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Dana dia Amiela, zanak’ i Gemaly;
for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
13 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Asera dia Setora, zanak’ i Mikaela;
for the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
14 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Naftaly dia Naby, zanak’ i Vofsy;
for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vopshi;
15 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Gada dia Geoela, zanak’ i Maky.
for the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
16 Ireo no anaran’ ny lehilahy izay nirahin’ i Mosesy hisafo ny tany. Ary Hosea, zanak’ i Nona, dia nataon’ i Mosesy hoe Josoa.
These [are] the names of the men whom Moses has sent to spy out the land; and Moses calls Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.
17 Ary Mosesy naniraka ireo hisafo ny tany Kanana ka nanao taminy hoe: Miakara atỳ amin’ ny tany atsimo ianareo, ka miakara ho any amin’ ny tany havoana;
And Moses sends them to spy out the land of Canaan and says to them, “Go up this [way] into the south, and you have gone up the mountain,
18 dia izahao izay toetry ny tany sy ny olona monina any, na mahery, na osa, na vitsy, na maro;
and have seen the land, what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble, [and] whether it [is] few or many;
19 ary izay toetry ny tany itoerany, na tsara, na ratsy; ary ny toetry ny tanàna izay itoerany, na ao an-day, na ao an-tanàna mimanda;
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 ary ny toetry ny tany, na lonaka, na màzana, na misy hazo eo, na tsia; ary mahereza ianareo, ka itondray ny vokatry ny tany. Ary ny andro fahizany dia fahamasahan’ ny voaloboka mialin-taona.
And what the land [is], whether it [is] fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and you have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land”; now the days [are] days of the first-fruits of grapes.
21 Dia niakatra ireo ka nisafo ny tany hatramin’ ny efitra Zina ka hatrany Rehoba, dia ao akaikin’ i Hamata.
And they go up and spy out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
22 Dia niakatra tao amin’ ny tany atsimo izy ka nankany Hebrona; ary teo Ahimana sy Sesay ary Talmay, teraky ny Anakita. (Ary Hebrona dia voaorina fito taona talohan’ i Zoana any Egypta.)
and they go up by the south, and come to Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt),
23 Dia nankany amin’ ny lohasaha Eskola izy ka nanapaka sampam-boaloboka teo izay nisy sampahony iray ihany, ary nolanjain-droa lahy tamin’ ny hazo izany; ary ny ampongabendanitra sy ny aviavy dia nitondrany koa.
and they come to the Brook of Eshcol, and cut down a branch and one cluster of grapes there, and they carry it on a staff by two, also [some] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 Ary izany tany izany dia nataony hoe Lohasaha Eskola, noho ny sampahom-boaloboka izay notapahin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely teo.
That place has been called the Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.
25 Ary niverina avy nisafo ny tany ireo, nony afaka efa-polo andro.
And they return from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
26 Dia nankeo amin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ary ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, tany an-efitra Parana izy, dia tany Kadesy, ka nitondra teny taminy sy ny fiangonana rehetra sady naneho azy ny vokatry ny tany.
And they go and come to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the congregation back word, and show them the fruit of the land.
27 Dia nilaza taminy izy ka nanao hoe: Tonga tany amin’ ny tany izay nanirahanao anay izahay, koa tondra-dronono sy tantely tokoa izy; ary itony no vokatra avy tany.
And they recount to him, and say, “We came to the land to where you have sent us, and it is indeed flowing with milk and honey—and this [is] its fruit;
28 Kanefa kosa mahery ny olona izay monina eo amin’ ny tany; ary ny tanàna dia mimanda sady lehibe dia lehibe; ary koa, nahita ny teraky ny Anakita teo izahay.
only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fortified [and] very great; and we have also seen children of Anak there.
29 Ny Amalekita no monina eo amin’ ny tany atsimo; ary ny Hetita sy ny Jebosita ary ny Amorita no monina any amin’ ny tany havoana; ary ny Kananita no monina eo amoron’ ny ranomasina sy eo amoron’ i Jordana.
Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite are dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.”
30 Fa Kaleba dia nampangina ny olona teo anatrehan’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Andeha isika hiakatra mihitsy mba hahazoantsika azy, fa haharesy azy tokoa isika.
And Caleb stills the people concerning Moses and says, “Let us certainly go up—and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able to [do] it.”
31 Fa hoy kosa ny lehilahy izay niara-niakatra taminy: Tsy mahazo miakatra handresy ny olona isika; fa mahery noho isika izy.
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 Dia nilaza ratsy ny tany izay nosafoiny tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izy ka nanao hoe: Ny tany izay nalehanay nosafoina dia tany izay mandevona ny monina eo, ary ny olona rehetra izay hitanay teo dia olona vaventibe;
and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we passed over to spy it out is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of stature;
33 ary nahita ny Nefilima teo izahay, dia taranaky ny Anakita avy amin’ ny Nefilima; ary teo imasonay dia tahaka ny tsingentana izahay; ary toy izany koa izahay teo imasony.
and there we saw the giants, sons of Anak, of the giants; and we are as grasshoppers in our own eyes—and so we were in their eyes.”
