1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Añiraho ondaty hitingañe an-tane Kanàne añe, ie hatoloko amo ana’ Israeleo, songa amantoho ondaty raike o fifoko­an-droae’eo, fonga mpamelek’ am’ iereo.
Send for you men, and let them spy the land of the Chananites, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession; one man for a tribe, you shall send them away according to their families, every one of them a prince.
3 Aa le nampionjone’ i Mosè boak’ am-patrambei’ i Parane ao iereo ami’ ty nandilia’ Iehovà, songa mpiaolo’ o ana’ Israeleo indaty rey.
And Moses sent them out of the wilderness of Pharan by the word of the Lord; all these [were] the princes of the sons of Israel.
4 Aa le zao o tahina’ iareoo: tam-pifokoa’ i Reòbene, t’i Samoà ana’ i Zakore;
And these [are] their names: of the tribe of Ruben, Samuel the son of Zachur.
5 tam-pifokoa’ i Simone t’i Safate ana’ i Horý;

15 tam-pifokoa’i Gade, t’i Geoele ana’ i Makhý;
Of the tribe of Gad, Gudiel the son of Macchi.
16 Ie ro tahina’ ondaty nafanto’ i Mosè hitingañe i taneio, le novae’ i Mosè ty tahina’ i Hoseà ho Iehosòa.
These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Ause the son of Naue, Joshua.
17 Aa le nirahe’ i Mosè iereo hitin­gañe an-tane Kanàne añe naho nafanto’e ty hoe: Mionjona mb’ amo Negeveo mb’eo vaho mañambonea mb’ am-bohibohitse añe,
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Chanaan, and said to them, Go up by this wilderness; and you shall go up to the mountain,
18 le isaho te inoñe i taney naho ondaty mimo­neñe aoo ke maozatse ke maifoifo, he tsy ampeampe he maro;
and you shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or [whether] they are few or many.
19 le i tane imoneña’ iareoy, ke soa he raty; naho o rova itoboha’ iareoo ke t’ie tobe he arikoboñen-kijoly;
And what the land is on which they dwell, [whether] it is good or bad; and what the cities are wherein these dwell, whether they dwell in walled [cities] or unwalled.
20 le i taney ke kobokara he tsy mamokatse; ke mitiry hatae he tsie. Aa le mahasibeha vaho añandeso ty voka’ i taney. Toe san-doha-voam-balòboke henane zay.
And what the land is, whether rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and you shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days [were] the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.
21 Aa le nienga iereo nijoko boak’ am-patrambei’ i Tsine mb’e Rekhobe am-pimoaha’ i Hamate mb’eo.
And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.
22 Le nion­joñe mañatimo naho nigodam-b’e Kebrone naho Akimane naho e Sesaý vaho e Talmaý, mb’amo ana’ i Anàkeo mb’eo. (Naoreñe fito taoñe taolo’ i Tsoane e Mitsraime añe ty Kebrone.)
And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there [was] Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of Egypt.
23 Le nivotrak’ am-bavatane’ Eskole eo iereo vaho nibira tsampam-baloboke rekets’ angaroza’e raike nampitarazoeñe ondaty roe am-baoñe, naho nangalak’ ampongabeindañitse vaho aviavy.
And they came to the valley of the cluster and surveyed it; and they cut down thence a bough and one cluster of grapes upon it, and bore it on staves, and [they took] of the pomegranates and the figs.
24 Natao Vavatane’ i Eskole i taney amy angaroza nihitsife’ o ana’ Israeleoy.
And they called that place, The valley of the cluster, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 Ie efa-polo andro añe le nimpoly i nitampoñe i taney rey,
And they returned from thence, having surveyed the land, after forty days.
26 le niheo mb’amy Mosè naho i Aharone vaho i valobohò’ Israeley am-patram-bei’ i Parane e Kadese mb’eo ninday saontsy ama’e naho amy valobohò’ Israele iabiy, vaho naboa’ iereo ty voka’ i taney.
And they proceeded and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Pharan Cades; and they brought word to them and to all the congregation, and they showed the fruit of the land:
27 Le hoe ty natalili’ iareo ama’e, Nigodañe’ay i tane’ nañiraha’o anaiy. Toe iorikorihan-dronono naho tantele, hehe ty voka’e.
and they reported to him, and said, We came into the land into which you sent us, a land flowing with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Fe misañatse ondaty mimo­neñe amo taneo; le fahe­ran-kijoly fatratse o rova’eo vaho jaba­jaba; mbore nioni’ay ao o ana’ i Anàkeo.
Only the nation that dwells upon it is bold, and they have very great and strong walled towns, and we saw there the children of Enach.
29 Mimo­neñe an-tane atimo ao o nte-Amalekeo; le mimoneñe am-bohibohitse ao o nte-Kheteo naho o nte-Ie­bosèo vaho o nte-Amareo; le mimo­neñe añ’ olo’ i riakey naho añ’ olo’ i saka Iardeney o nte-Kanàneo.
And Amalec dwells in the land toward the south: and the Chettite and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwells in the hill country: and the Chananite dwells by the sea, and by the river Jordan.
30 Nampianjiñe’ i Kalebe añatrefa’ i Mosè ondatio, nanao ty hoe: Antao hionjoñe mb’eo amy zao hitavañe i taney, tsy kalafo te mahagiok’ aze tika.
And Chaleb stayed the people from speaking before Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them.
31 Fe nanao ty hoe ondaty niharo-lia ama’eo: Tsy lefen-tika ty hionjoñe haname ondatio amy t’ie maozatse te aman-tika.
But the men that went up together with him said, We will not go up, for we shall not by any means be able to go up against the nation, for it is much stronger than we.
32 Le naboele’ iereo ty talily nahatsonevotse o ana’ Israeleo amy tane nitingane’ iereoy, ami’ty hoe: I tane niranga’ay mpitingañey, le tane mampibotseke o mpimone’eo, vaho mijoalajoala ze hene ondaty niisa’ay ama’e.
And they brought a horror of that land which they surveyed upon the children of Israel, saying, The land which we passed by to survey it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of extraordinary stature.
33 Nioni’ay ondaty joakeo (toe tarira’ ondaty joake o nte-Anàkeo); le nihoe valala am-pañentea’ay zahay vaho zahay am-pahaisaha’ iareo.
And there we saw the giants; and we were before them as locusts, yes even so were we before them.
