Lakkoobsa 13
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
2 “Akka isaan dhaqanii biyya Kanaʼaan ishee ani Israaʼelootaaf kennuuf jiru sana basaasaniif namoota ergi. Tokkoo tokkoo abbootii gosaa keessaa hoogganaa tokko ergi.”
Send for thee men and let them spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving unto the sons of Israel, —one man each for the tribe of his fathers, shalt thou send, each one a prince among them.
3 Museen ajaja Waaqayyootiin Gammoojjii Phaaraan keessaa isaan erge. Hundi isaanii hooggantoota Israaʼelootaa turan.
So then Moses sent them out of the desert of Paran, at the bidding of Yahweh, —all of them, great men, heads of the sons of Israel, were they.

16 Egaa maqaawwan kunneen maqaawwan namoota akka isaan biyya sana basaasaniif jedhee Museen ergee dha. Museenis Hoosheeʼaa ilma Nuuni sana, “Iyyaasuu” jedhee moggaase.
These, are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, —but Moses called Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.
17 Museen yommuu akka isaan biyya Kanaʼaanii basaasaniif isaan ergetti akkana jedheen; “Karaa Negeeb darbaatii gara biyya gaaraatti ol baʼaa.
So Moses sent them, to spy out the land of Canaan, —and said unto them—Go up, here in the South, Yea ye shall go up the mountain;
18 Biyyi sun maal akka fakkaattu, namoonni achi jiraatanis jajjaboo yookaan dadhaboo, muraasa yookaan hedduu taʼuu isaanii ilaalaa.
And shall see the land, what it is, —And the people that dwell thereupon, Whether they are, strong, or weak, Whether they are, few or many;
19 Isaan biyya akkamii keessa jiraatu? Gaarii yookaan gadhee? Magaalaawwan akkamii keessa jiraatu? Dallaa dhagaa hin qaban moo daʼoo jabaa qabu?
And what, the land, is, wherein they dwell, Whether it is, good, or, bad, —And the cities within which they dwell, Whether in camps or in strongholds;
20 Lafti isaa gabbataa dha moo gabbataa miti? Muka qaba moo hin qabu. Jabaadhaatii ija biyyattii keessaa muraasa fidaa.” Waqtiin sun yeroo iji wayinii kan jalqabaa itti bilchaatu ture.
And what the land is, Whether, fat, or, lean, Whether there is timber therein or is not, Then shall ye pluck up courage and take of the fruit of the land. Now the days, were the days of the first-fruits of grapes.
21 Isaan ol baʼanii Gammoojjii Siin irraa jalqabanii hamma Rehoobitti gara Leeboo Hamaatitti biyyattii basaasan.
So they went up, and spied out the land, —from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the entering in of Hamath.
22 Isaanis karaa Negeeb ol baʼanii gara Kebroon lafa Ahiiman, Sheeshaayii fi Talmaayi ilmaan Anaaq sun jiraataniitti dhufan. Kebroon kunis utuu Zooʼaan isheen biyya Gibxi sun hin ijaaramin waggaa torbaan dura ijaaramte.
Yea they went up in the South and entered as far as Hebron, and there, were Ahiman Sheshai and Talmai descendants of the Anak. Now, Hebron, was built seven years, before Zoan of Egypt.
23 Isaanis yommuu Sulula Eshkool gaʼanitti hurbuu ija wayinii tokko kutan. Wayinii sanas roomaanii fi harbuu wajjin nama lama taʼanii danqaraadhaan baatan.
And they entered as far as the ravine of Eschol, and cut down, from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and bare it on a pole between two, —also of the pomegranates and of the figs.
24 Iddoon sun sababii hurbuu ija wayinii kan warri Israaʼel kutan sanaatiif Sulula Eshkool jedhame.
That place, was called, The Ravine of Eschol ["Cluster-ravine"]—on account of the cluster, which was cut down from thence by the sons of Israel.
25 Jarris dhuma bultii afurtamaatti biyya sana basaasanii deebiʼan.
And they returned from spying out the land, —at the end of forty days.
26 Isaanis gara Qaadesh ishee Gammoojjii Phaaraan keessaa gara Musee fi Aroon, gara waldaa Israaʼel guutuu deebiʼanii dhufan. Achittis gabaasa isaaniif dhiʼeessan; ija biyyattiis isaan argisiisan.
So they took their journey, and came in unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel into the wilderness of Paran, towards Kadesh, —and brought back word—unto them and unto all the assembly, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Isaanis akkana jedhanii Museetti himan: “Nu gara biyya ati itti nu ergite sanaa dhaqneerra; biyyattiin aannanii fi damma baafti! Iji ishees kunoo kana.
And they recounted unto him, and said, We entered into the land whither thou didst send us, and surely it doth flow with milk and honey, and, this, is the fruit thereof.
28 Garuu namoonni achi jiraatan jajjaboo dha; magaalaawwan ishee dallaa jabaa qabu; gurguddaa dhas. Nu sanyii Anaaq iyyuu achitti argineerra.
Nevertheless surely mighty, are the people that dwell in the land, —and, the cities, walled in, exceeding great, moreover also, the descendants of the Anak, saw we there.
29 Amaaleqoonni Negeeb keessa jiraatu; Heetonni, Yebuusonnii fi Amooronni biyya gaaraa keessa jiraatu; Kanaʼaanonni immoo galaana biraa fi qarqara Yordaanos jiraatu.”
Amalek, dwelleth in the land of the South; And, the Hittite, and the Jebusite and the Amorite, dwell in the mountain And the Canaanite, dwelleth by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.
30 Kaalebis fuula Musee duratti saba calʼisiisee, “Nu dafnee ol baanee biyyattii haa dhaallu; moʼachuu ni dandeenyaatii” jedhe.
And Caleb stilled the people unto Moses, —and said unto them—Let us go straight up, and possess it, for we shall, surely prevail, against it.
31 Namoonni isa wajjin ol baʼanii turan garuu, “Nu warra sana dhaʼuu hin dandeenyu; isaan nurra jajjaboo dha” jedhan.
But the men who went up with him said, We cannot go up against the people, —for stronger, are they than we.
32 Isaanis waaʼee biyya basaasan sanaa saba Israaʼel gidduutti oduu gadhee tamsaasan. Akkanas jedhan; “Biyyi nu basaasne sun biyya warra ishee keessa jiraatu iyyuu nyaattuu dha. Namoonni nu achitti argine hundinuu dhedheeroo dha.
So they sent forth a rumour of the land which they had spied out, among the sons of Israel, saying, —As touching the land through which we passed to spy it out, it is, land that eateth up them who dwell therein, And all the people that we saw in the midst thereof, were men of great stature.
33 Achitti Nefiiliimota argine; ilmaan Anaaq Nefiiliimota irraa dhufan. Nu ofuma keenyatti iyyuu korophisa fakkaanne; fuula isaanii durattis akkasuma taane.”
And, there, saw we the giants, sons of Anak [descended] of the giants, —And we were in our own eyes, as grass-hoppers, And, so, were we in their eyes.
