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 thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler 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, by the commandment of the LORD, sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men [were] heads of the children of Israel.
4 Aa le zao o tahina’ iareoo: tam-pifokoa’ i Reòbene, t’i Samoà ana’ i Zakore;

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 explore the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
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 explore the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go ye up this [way] southward, and ascend the mountain:
18 le isaho te inoñe i taney naho ondaty mimo­neñe aoo ke maozatse ke maifoifo, he tsy ampeampe he maro;
And see the land, what it [is]; and the people that dwell therein, whether they [are] strong or weak, 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] that they dwell in, whether it [is] good or bad; and what cities [they are] that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
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] fertile or barren, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the time of the first ripe grapes.
21 Aa le nienga iereo nijoko boak’ am-patrambei’ i Tsine mb’e Rekhobe am-pimoaha’ i Hamate mb’eo.
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come 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 ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now 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 came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 Natao Vavatane’ i Eskole i taney amy angaroza nihitsife’ o ana’ Israeleoy.
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes 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 exploring 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 went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed 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 told him, and said, We came to the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth 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.
Nevertheless, the people [are] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover, we saw the 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.
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of 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 stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome 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.
But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they [are] 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 an evil report of the land which they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, The land through which we have passed to search it, [is] a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it, [are] men of a great 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, the sons of Anak, [who come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
