Tauanga 13
1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Me unga e koe etahi tangata hei tutei mo te whenua o Kanaana, mo tera e hoatu nei e ahau ki nga tama a Iharaira: kia kotahi o tenei iwi, o tenei iwi o o ratou matua e tonoa e koutou, hei te rangatira anake.
Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel. From every tribe of their fathers ye shall send a man, each one a ruler among them.
3 Na ka unga a Mohi i ratou i te koraha o Parana, ka pera me ta Ihowa i ki ai; he upoko katoa enei tangata no nga tama a Iharaira.
And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah. All of them men who were heads of the sons of Israel.
4 Ko o ratou ingoa enei; no te iwi o Reupena, ko Hamua tama a Takuru.
And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
5 No te iwi o Himiona, ko Hapata tama a Hori.
of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
6 No te iwi o Hura, ko Karepe tama a Iepune.
of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
7 No te iwi o Ikara, ko Ikara tama a Hohepa.
of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
8 No te iwi o Eparaima, ko Hohea tama a Nunu.
of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;
9 No te iwi o Pineamine, ko Parati tama a Rapu.
of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
10 No te iwi o Hepurona, ko Kariere tama a Hori.
of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
11 No te iwi o Hohepa, ara no te iwi o Manahi, ko Kari tama a Huhi.
of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
12 No te iwi o Rana, ko Amiere tama a Kemari.
of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
13 No te iwi o Ahera, ko Heturu tama a Mikaere.
of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
14 No te iwi o Napatari, ko Nahapi tama a Wopohi.
of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
15 No te iwi o Kara, ko Keuere tama a Maki.
of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16 Ko nga ingoa enei o nga tangata i unga nei e Mohi hei tutei mo te whenua. A huaina iho e Mohi a Hohea tama a Nunu ko Hohua.
These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
17 Na ka unga ratou e Mohi hei tutei mo te whenua o Kanaana, ka mea ia ki a ratou, Haere atu ki runga na konei, na te tonga, ka kake ki te maunga:
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Get you up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country.
18 Ka titiro ai i te whenua, he aha ranei; i te iwi ano hoki e noho ana i reira, he kaha ranei, he kahakore ranei, he tokoouou ranei, he tokomaha ranei;
And see the land, what it is, and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many,
19 He pehea te whenua e nohoia ana e ratou, he pai ranei, he kino ranei; he pehea hoki nga pa e nohoia ana e ratou, he teneti ranei, he mea taiepa ranei;
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 camps, or in strongholds,
20 He pehea hoki te whenua, he momona ranei, he kikokore ranei, he rakau ranei to reira, kahore ranei. Kia maia hoki, maua mai ano etahi o nga hua o te whenua. Na, ko taua wa ko te wa o nga karepe matamua.
and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, 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 Na ko to ratou haerenga ki runga, tuteia ana e ratou te whenua i te koraha o Hini, a tae noa ki Rehopo, ki te haerenga atu ki Hamata.
So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
22 A i haere ratou na te tonga, ka tae ki Heperona; a i reira a Ahimana, a Hehai, a Taramai, nga tama a Anaka. Na ko Heperona, ko tona hanganga, e whitu nga tau i mua i to Toana i Ihipa.
And they went up by the South, and came to Hebron. And Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 A ka tae iho ratou ki te awaawa ki Ehekora, ka tapahia i reira he manga karepe, kotahi te tautau, ka amohia e te tokorua i runga i te tokotoko; i mauria mai ano etahi pamekaranete, me etahi piki.
And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a staff between two, also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 A huaina iho taua wahi ko te raorao o Ehekora, no te tautau karepe i tapahia e nga tama a Iharaira i reira.
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down from there.
25 No te paunga o nga ra e wha tekau ka hoki mai ratou i te tutei i te whenua.
And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
26 Na haere ana, a ka tae ki a Mohi ratou ko Arona, ko te whakaminenga katoa o nga tama a Iharaira, ki te koraha o Parana, ki Karehe; ki te whakahoki i te korero ki a ratou ko te whakaminenga katoa, a whakakitea ana e ratou nga hua o te whenua ki a ratou.
And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons 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 A ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, I tae matou ki te whenua i unga nei matou e koe, na he pono e rerengia ana e te waiu, e te honi; ko ona hua tenei.
And they told him, and said, We came to the land where thou sent us. And surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is the fruit of it.
28 Otiia he kaha te iwi e noho ana i taua whenua, he mea taiepa hoki nga pa, he nunui rawa: i kite ano matou i nga tama a Anaka ki reira.
However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, very great, and moreover we saw the sons of Anak there.
29 E noho ana nga Amareki i te whenua ki te tonga: ko nga Hiti, ko nga Iepuhi, ko nga Amori, e noho ana i nga maunga: kei te taha o te moana nga Kanaani e noho ana, kei te taha ano o Horano.
Amalek dwells in the land of the South. And the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country. And the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.
30 Na ka whakamarietia te iwi e Karepe i te aroaro o Mohi, a ka mea ia, Kia hohoro ta tatou haere ki te tango i reira; e taea hoki e tatou.
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 Ko nga tangata ia i haere tahi me ia ki runga, i mea, E kore e ahei i a tatou te haere ki runga, ki taua iwi; he kaha ake hoki ratou i a tatou.
But the men who went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
32 Na ka kawea e ratou he korero kino mo te whenua i tuteia e ratou ki nga tama a Iharaira, i mea ratou, Ko taua whenua i haerea ra e matou, i tuteia, he whenua e ngau ana i ona tangata; he tangata nunui rawa hoki te hunga katoa i kitea e matou ki reira.
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up the inhabitants of it. And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 He nunui rawa hoki nga tangata i kitea e matou ki reira, he tama na Anaka, he uri no nga tangata roroa: a ki ta matou titiro, me he mawhitiwhiti matou: he pera ano matou ki ta ratou titiro.
And we saw there 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.
