Nomery 13
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy, ka nanao hoe:
Then spake Yahweh unto 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 for thee men and let them spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving unto the sons of Israel, —one man each for the tribe of his fathers, shalt thou send, each one 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.
So then Moses sent them out of the desert of Paran, at the bidding of Yahweh, —all of them, great men, heads of the sons of Israel, were they.
4 Ary izao no anarany: Avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Robena dia Samoa, zanak’ i Zakora;
And, these, are their names, —Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, son of Zaccur;
5 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Simeona dia Safata, zanak’ i Hory;
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, son of Hori;
6 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Joda dia Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone;
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, son of Jephunneh;
7 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ Isakara dia Jigala, zanak’ i Josefa;
Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal, son of Joseph;
8 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Efraima dia Hosea, zanak’ i Nona;
Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea, son of Nun;
9 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Benjamina dia Palty, zanak’ i Rafo;
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti, son of Raphu;
10 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Zebolona dia Gadiela, zanak’ i Sody;
Of 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;
Of the tribe of Joseph—of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi son of Susi;
12 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Dana dia Amiela, zanak’ i Gemaly;
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, son of Gemalli;
13 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Asera dia Setora, zanak’ i Mikaela;
Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur, son of Michael;
14 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Naftaly dia Naby, zanak’ i Vofsy;
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, son of Vophsi;
15 avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Gada dia Geoela, zanak’ i Maky.
Of 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 sent to spy out the land, —but Moses called 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;
So Moses sent them, to spy out the land of Canaan, —and said unto them—Go up, here in the South, Yea ye shall go up the mountain;
18 dia izahao izay toetry ny tany sy ny olona monina any, na mahery, na osa, na vitsy, na maro;
And shall see the land, what it is, —And the people that dwell thereupon, Whether they are, strong, or weak, Whether they are, 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, wherein they dwell, Whether it is, good, or, bad, —And the cities within which they dwell, Whether in camps or in strongholds;
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, fat, or, lean, Whether there is timber therein or is not, Then shall ye pluck up courage and take of the fruit of the land. Now the days, were the 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.
So they went up, and spied out the land, —from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the entering in of 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.)
Yea they went up in the South and entered as far as Hebron, and there, were Ahiman Sheshai and Talmai descendants of the Anak. Now, Hebron, was built seven years, before Zoan of 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 entered as far as the ravine of Eschol, and cut down, from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and bare it on a pole between two, —also 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, was called, The Ravine of Eschol ["Cluster-ravine"]—on account of the cluster, which was cut down from thence by the sons of Israel.
25 Ary niverina avy nisafo ny tany ireo, nony afaka efa-polo andro.
And they returned 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.
So they took their journey, and came in unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel into the wilderness of Paran, towards Kadesh, —and brought back word—unto them and unto all the assembly, and showed 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 recounted unto him, and said, We entered into the land whither thou didst send us, and surely it doth flow with milk and honey, and, this, is the fruit thereof.
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.
Nevertheless surely mighty, are the people that dwell in the land, —and, the cities, walled in, exceeding great, moreover also, the descendants of the Anak, saw we 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, dwelleth in the land of the South; And, the Hittite, and the Jebusite and the Amorite, dwell in the mountain And the Canaanite, dwelleth 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 stilled the people unto Moses, —and said unto them—Let us go straight up, and possess it, for we shall, surely prevail, against it.
31 Fa hoy kosa ny lehilahy izay niara-niakatra taminy: Tsy mahazo miakatra handresy ny olona isika; fa mahery noho isika izy.
But the men who went up with him said, We cannot go up against the people, —for stronger, are they 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;
So they sent forth a rumour of the land which they had spied out, among the sons of Israel, saying, —As touching the land through which we passed to spy it out, it is, land that eateth up them who dwell therein, And all the people that we saw in the midst thereof, were men of great 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, saw we the giants, sons of Anak [descended] of the giants, —And we were in our own eyes, as grass-hoppers, And, so, were we in their eyes.
