Nomipā 13
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
2 “Ke ke fekau ha kau tangata, ke nau ʻalu ʻo vakai ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻaia te u foaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ʻi he faʻahinga taki taha ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ke mo fekau ha tangata, ʻoku taki taha matāpule ʻiate kinautolu.”
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 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, mei he toafa ko Palani: ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē naʻe matāpule ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
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.
4 Pea ko honau hingoa eni: ko Samua ko e foha ʻo Sakuli, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni.
And, these, are their names, —Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, son of Zaccur;
5 Pea mo Safati ko e foha ʻo Holi, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Simione.
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, son of Hori;
6 Pea mo Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta.
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, son of Jephunneh;

Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal, son of Joseph;
8 Pea mo ʻOsea ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻIfalemi.
Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea, son of Nun;
9 Pea mo Paleti ko e foha ʻo Lafu, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani.
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti, son of Raphu;
10 Pea mo Katieli ko e foha ʻo Soti, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Sepuloni.
Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, son of Sodi;
11 Pea mo Kati ko e foha ʻo Susi, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ko e faʻahinga ʻo Siosefa.
Of the tribe of Joseph—of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi son of Susi;
12 Pea mo ʻAmieli ko e foha ʻo Kimali, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Tani.
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, son of Gemalli;
13 Pea mo Situli ko e foha ʻo Mikaeli, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻAseli.
Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur, son of Michael;
14 Pea mo Napi ko e foha ʻo Vofisi, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Nafitali.
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, son of Vophsi;
15 Pea mo Kineli ko e foha ʻo Maki, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Kata.
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel, son of Machi.
16 Ko e hingoa eni ʻoe kau tangata naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kenau ō ʻo matakiʻi ʻae fonua. Pea naʻe ui ai ʻe Mōsese ʻa ʻOsea ko e foha ʻo Nuni ko Siosiua.
These, are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, —but Moses called Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.
17 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ʻakinautolu kenau matakiʻi ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻalu hake [ʻi he hala ]ki he potu tonga, pea te mou hake ki he moʻunga:
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 ʻO mamata ki he fonua, pe ʻoku fēfē ia; pea mo e kakai ʻoku nofo ai, pe ʻoku nau mālohi pe ʻoku nau vaivai, pe ʻoku nau tokolahi pe ʻoku nau tokosiʻi;
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 Pea ʻoku fēfē ʻae fonua ʻoku nau nofo ai, pe ʻoku lelei pe ʻoku kovi; pe ʻoku fēfē honau ngaahi kolo ʻoku nau nofo ai, pe ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, pe ʻi he ngaahi kolo mālohi.”
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 Pea mo e fonua, pe ʻoku mahu pe ʻoku masiva, pe ʻoku ʻakauʻia, pe ʻikai: pea mou lototoʻa, ʻo ʻomi ʻae fua ʻoe fonua. Pea ko e kuonga ko ia ko e ngaahi ʻaho ia ʻoe fua ʻoe ʻuluaki kālepi.
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 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake, ʻo vakai ki he fonua, mei he toafa ʻo Sini ki Lehopi, ʻi he hala ʻoku haʻu ai ʻae fononga ki Hemati.
So they went up, and spied out the land, —from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the entering in of Hamath.
22 Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he potu tonga, ʻonau haʻu ki Hepeloni; naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAnaki, ko ʻEhimani, mo Sesei, mo Talimi. (Vakai, naʻe langa ʻa Hepeloni ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu ki muʻa ange ʻi he fokotuʻu ʻa Soani ʻi ʻIsipite.),
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 Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo ʻEsikoli, pea naʻa nau tuʻusi ʻi ai ʻae vaʻa mo hono fuhinga kālepi, pea naʻa nau haʻamo toko ua ia ʻi he ʻakau; pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae pomikanite, mo e fiki.
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 Pea naʻe ui ʻae potu ko ia, ko e vaitafe ʻo ʻEsikoli, koeʻuhi ko e fuhinga kālepi naʻe tuʻusi ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
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 Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, naʻa nau liliu mai mei heʻenau vakai ʻae fonua.
And they returned from spying out the land, —at the end of forty days.
26 Pea naʻa nau ō pea haʻu kia Mōsese, mo ʻElone, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ki he toafa ʻo Palani, ki Ketesi; pea naʻe ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kiate kinautolu, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau fakahā ʻae fua ʻoe fonua kiate kinautolu.
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 Pea naʻa nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻa mau ō ki he fonua naʻa ke fekau ʻakimautolu ki ai, pea ko e moʻoni ʻoku pito ia ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi; pea ko hono fua eni.
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 Ka ʻoku mālohi ʻae kakai ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua, pea kuo ʻā maka ʻae ngaahi kolo, ʻo lahi ʻaupito: pea naʻa mau mamata ʻi ai ki he fānau ʻa ʻAnaki.
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 ʻOku nofo ʻi he potu fakatonga ʻoe fonua ʻae kau ʻAmaleki: pea ko e kau Heti, mo e kau Sepusi, mo e kau ʻAmoli, ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga: pea ko e kau Kēnani ʻoku nofo ʻakinautolu ʻo ofi ki he tahi, pea mo e matafonua ʻo Sioatani.”
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 Pea naʻe lolomi ʻe Kelepi ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke tau ʻalu hake ke vave, ʻo maʻu ia; he ʻoku tau mālohi lahi ke ikuna ia.”
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 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata naʻa nau ʻalu hake mo ia, “ʻE ʻikai te tau mālohi ke ʻalu hake ki he kakai; he ʻoku nau mālohi ʻiate kitautolu.”
But the men who went up with him said, We cannot go up against the people, —for stronger, are they than we.
32 Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae ongoongo kovi ʻoe fonua naʻa nau ʻalu ʻo vakai, ʻo pehē, “Ko e fonua naʻa mau ʻalu atu ke vakai ki ai, ko e fonua ia ʻoku ne keina ke ʻosi hono kakai; pea ko e kakai kotoa pē naʻa mau mamata ʻi ai ko e kau tangata lalahi ʻaupito.
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 Pea naʻa mau mamata ʻi ai ki he kau tangata lalahi fakamanavahē, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAnaki ʻaia ʻoku tupu ʻi he faʻahinga lalahi: pea naʻa mau tatau ʻi homau mata ʻomautolu mo e fanga heʻe, pea naʻa mau pehē moʻoni ʻi honau ʻao ʻonautolu.”
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.
