Nomery 13
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè,
And YHWH speaks 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 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 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 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,

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 has sent to spy out the land; and Moses calls Hoshea son of Nun, 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 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 le isaho te inoñe i taney naho ondaty mimoneñe aoo ke maozatse ke maifoifo, he tsy ampeampe he 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 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] 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 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 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 Aa le nienga iereo nijoko boak’ am-patrambei’ i Tsine mb’e Rekhobe am-pimoaha’ i Hamate mb’eo.
And they go up and spy out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
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 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 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 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 Natao Vavatane’ i Eskole i taney amy angaroza nihitsife’ o ana’ Israeleoy.
That place has been called the Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.
25 Ie efa-polo andro añe le nimpoly i nitampoñe i taney rey,
And they return from spying out the land at the end of 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 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 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 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 Fe misañatse ondaty mimoneñe amo taneo; le faheran-kijoly fatratse o rova’eo vaho jabajaba; mbore nioni’ay ao o ana’ i Anàkeo.
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 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.
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 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 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 Fe nanao ty hoe ondaty niharo-lia ama’eo: Tsy lefen-tika ty hionjoñe haname ondatio amy t’ie maozatse te aman-tika.
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 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 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 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, sons of Anak, of the giants; and we are as grasshoppers in our own eyes—and so we were in their eyes.”
