Tauanga 13
1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,
And there the Lord 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 men to view the land of Chanaan, which I will give to the children of Israel, one of every tribe, of the rulers.
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.
Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending from the desert of Pharan, principal men, whose names are these:
4 Ko o ratou ingoa enei; no te iwi o Reupena, ko Hamua tama a Takuru.
Of the tribe of Ruben, Sammua the son of Zechur.
5 No te iwi o Himiona, ko Hapata tama a Hori.
Of the tribe of Simeon, Saphat the son of Hurl.
6 No te iwi o Hura, ko Karepe tama a Iepune.
Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.
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, Osee the son of Nun.
9 No te iwi o Pineamine, ko Parati tama a Rapu.
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu.
10 No te iwi o Hepurona, ko Kariere tama a Hori.
Of the tribe of Zabulon, Geddiel 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, of the sceptre of Manasses, 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 Aser, Sthur the son of Michael.
14 No te iwi o Napatari, ko Nahapi tama a Wopohi.
Of the tribe of Nephtali, Nahabi the son of Vapsi.
15 No te iwi o Kara, ko Keuere tama a Maki.
Of the tribe of Gad, Guel 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, whom Moses sent to view the land: and he called Osee the son of Nun, Josue.
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 view the land of Chanaan, and said to them: Go you up by the south side. And when you shall come to the mountains,
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;
View the land, of what sort it is: and the people that are the inhabitants thereof, whether they be strong or weak: few in number 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;
The land itself, whether it be good or bad: what manner of cities, walled or without walls:
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.
The ground, fat or barren, woody or without trees. Be of good courage, and bring us of the fruits of the land. Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes are fit to be eaten.
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.
And when they were gone up, they viewed the land from the desert of Sin, unto Rohob as you enter into Emath.
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 at the south side, and came to Hebron, where were Achiman and Sisai and Tholmai the sons of Enac. For Hebron was built seven years before Tanis the city of 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 going forward as far as the torrent of the cluster of grapes, they cut off a branch with its cluster of grapes, which two men carried upon a lever. They took also of the pomegranates and of the figs of that place:
24 A huaina iho taua wahi ko te raorao o Ehekora, no te tautau karepe i tapahia e nga tama a Iharaira i reira.
Which was called Nehelescol, that is to say, the torrent of the cluster of grapes, because from thence the children of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes.
25 No te paunga o nga ra e wha tekau ka hoki mai ratou i te tutei i te whenua.
And they that went to spy out the land returned after forty days, having gone round all the country,
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 came to Moses and Aaron and to all the assembly of the children of Israel to the desert of Pharan, which is in Cades. And speaking to them and to all the multitude, they shewed them the fruits 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 related and said: We came into the land to which thou sentest us, which in very deed floweth with milk and honey as may be known by these fruits:
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.
But it hath very strong inhabitants, and the cities are great and walled. We saw there the race of Enac.
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.
Amalec dwelleth in the south, the Hethite and the Jebusite and the Amorrhite in the mountains: but the Chanaanite abideth by the sea and near the streams 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.
In the mean time Caleb, to still the murmuring of the people that rose against Moses, said: Let us go up and possess the land, for we shall be able to conquer 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 others, that had been with him, said: No, we are not able to go up to this people, because 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 spoke ill of the land, which they had viewed, before the children of Israel, saying: The land which we have viewed, devoureth its inhabitants: the people, that we beheld, are of a tall 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.
There we saw certain monsters of the sons of Enac, of the giant kind: in comparison of whom, we seemed like locusts.
