गन्ती 13
1 त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “केही मानिसहरूलाई कनानको भूमिको जाँच गर्न पठा, जुन मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई दिएको छु । तिनीहरूका पुर्खाका हरेक कुलबाट एक-एक जना पठा । ती हरेक तिनीहरूका अगुवा हुनुपर्छ ।”
Send men to get knowledge about the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from every tribe of their fathers you are to send a man, every one a chief among them.
3 मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई पारानको मरुभूमिबाट पठाए, ताकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको आज्ञा पालन गरून् । तिनीहरू सबै इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरू थिए ।
And Moses sent them from the waste land of Paran as the Lord gave orders, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
4 तिनीहरूका नाउँ यिनै हुन्ः रूबेनको कुलबाट जक्कूरका छोरा शम्मूअ;
And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, the son of Zaccur.
5 शिमियोनका कुलबाट होरीका छोरा शाफात;
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, the son of Hori.

9 बेन्यामीनको कुलबाट, रफूका छोरा पलती;

10 जबूलूनको कुलबाट सोदीका छोरा गद्दीएल;
Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, the son of Sodi.
11 योसेफको कुलबाट (अर्थात् मनेश्शेको कुलबाट) सूसीका छोरा गेद्दी;
Of the tribe of Joseph, that is of the family of Manasseh, Gaddi, the son of Susi.
12 दानको कुलबाट गमल्लीका छोरा अम्मीएल;
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, the son of Gemalli.
13 आशेरको कुलबाट मिखाएलका छोरा सतूर;
Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur, the son of Michael
14 नप्तालीको कुलबाट वोफ्सीका छोरा नहबी
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, the son of Vophsi.
15 गादको कुलबाट माकीका छोरा गूएल ।
Of the tribe of Gad, Gevel, the son of Machi.
16 मोशाले भूमिको जाँच गर्न पठाएका मानिसहरूका नाउँ यिनै थिए । मोशाले नूनका छोरा होशियालाई यहोशू नाउँ राखे ।
These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.
17 मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई कनानको भूमि जाँचबुझ गर्न पठाए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “नेगेवबाट प्रवेश गर र पहाडी मुलुकतिर जाओ ।
So Moses sent them to have a look at the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up into the South and into the hill-country;
18 यो कस्तो छ भनी भूमिको जाँचबुझ गर ।
And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;
19 त्यहाँ बस्ने मानिसहरूलाई हेर, तिनीहरू बलिया वा कमजोर छन् वा तिनीहरू धेरै छन् वा थोरै छन् ।
And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their living-places are, tent-circles or walled towns;
20 तिनीहरू बसोबास गरेका भूमि कस्तो छ, हेर । यो असल वा खराब छ? सहरहरू कस्ता छन्? तिनीहरू छाउनी वा किल्ला भएको सहरहरूमा छन्? भूमि कस्तो छ । अन्न उमार्न असल छ वा छैन, रुखहरू छन् वा छैनन् । साहसी होओ र त्यो भूमिको उत्पादनको नमुना लिएर आओ ।” त्यस बेला पहिलो दाख पाक्ने समय थियो ।
And if the land is fertile or poor, and if there is wood in it or not. And be of good heart, and come back with some of the produce of the land. Now it was the time when the first grapes were ready.
21 यसैले ती मानिसहरू गए र जीनको मरुभूमिदेखि लेबो-हमात नजिकको रेहोबसम्मको भूमिको जाँचबुझ गरे ।
So they went up and got a view of the land, from the waste land of Zin to Rehob, on the way to Hamath.
22 तिनीहरू नेगेवबाट उक्लेर हेब्रोनमा आइपुगे । त्यहाँ अनाकका सन्तानहरू अहीमान, शेशै र तल्मै थिए । होब्रोन मिश्रको सोअनभन्दा सात वर्ष पहिले निर्माण गरिएको थियो ।
They went up into the South and came to Hebron; and Ahiman and Sheshai and Talmai, the children of Anak, were living there. (Now the building of Hebron took place seven years before that of Zoan in Egypt.)
23 जब तिनीहरू एश्कोलको बेँसीमा पुगे, तिनीहरूले दाखको झुप्पासहितको हाँगा काटे । तिनीहरूले यसलाई घोचामा राखेर दुई जनाले बोके । तिनीहरूले अनार र नेभारा पनि ल्याए ।
And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some pomegranates and figs.
24 इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ दाखको झुप्पा काटेकाले त्यस ठाउँलाई एश्कोलको बेँसी नाउँ राखियो ।
That place was named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.
25 चालिस दिनपछि तिनीहरू भूमिको जाँचबुझ गरेर फर्के ।
At the end of forty days they came back from viewing the land.
26 तिनीहरू मोशा, हारून र इस्राएलका सारा समुदायकहाँ पारानको मरुभूमिमा भएको कादेशमा फर्केर आए । तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई र सारा समुदायलाई खबर ल्याए र भूमिको उत्पादन तिनीहरूलाई देखाए ।
And they came back to Moses and Aaron and all the children of Israel, to Kadesh in the waste land of Paran; and gave an account to them and to all the people and let them see the produce of the land.
27 तिनीहरूले मोशालाई भने, “तपाईंले पठाउनुभएको मुलुकमा हामी पुग्यौँ । यसमा साँच्चै दुध र मह बग्दोरहेछ । यसका केही उत्पादनहरू यहाँ छन् ।
And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.
28 तथापि, त्यहाँ बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरू बलिया छन् । सहरमा किल्ला हालिएका छन् र ती धेरै ठुला छन् । हामीले अनाकका सन्तानहरूलाई पनि देख्यौँ ।
But the people living in the land are strong, and the towns are walled and very great; further, we saw the children of Anak there.
29 नेगेवमा अमालेकीहरू बसोसबास गर्छन् । हित्ती, यबूसी, र एमोरी पहाडी मुलुकमा बस्छन् । कनानीहरू समुद्र किनारा र यर्दन नदीको तीरमा बस्छन् ।”
And the Amalekites are in the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill-country; and the Canaanites by the sea and by the side of Jordan.
30 अनि यहोशूले मोशाको सामु मानिसहरूलाई चुपचाप बनाए र भने, “जाऔँ र भूमिलाई कब्जा गरौँ, किनभने हामीले यसलाई निश्चय पनि जित्नेछौँ ।
Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, Let us go up straight away and take this land; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 तर तिनीसँग गएका अरू मानिसहरूले भने, “हामीले तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न सक्दैनौँ, किनभने तिनीहरू हामीभन्दा बलिया छन् ।”
But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
32 यसैले तिनीहरूले जाँचबुझ गरेका मुलुकबारे इस्राएलका मानिसहरू माझ निरुत्साहित पार्ने खबर फिँजाए । तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीले हेरेका मुलकले त आफ्नै बासिन्दाहरूलाई निल्दोरहेछ ।
And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.
33 हामीले त्यहाँ देखेका सबै मानिस अग्ला कदका छन् । हामीले त्यहाँ दैत्यहरू अर्थात् अनाकका सन्तानहरू देख्यौँ जो दैत्यहरूबाट आएका थिए । तिनीहरूसँग तुलना गर्दा हामी हाम्रो नजरमा फट्याङ्ग्राजस्ता थियौँ ।”
There we saw those great men, the sons of Anak, offspring of the Nephilim: and we seemed to ourselves no more than insects, and so we seemed to them.
