< Numbers 13 >
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Rán ènìyàn díẹ̀ láti lọ yẹ ilẹ̀ Kenaani wò èyí tí mo ti fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Rán ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan, tí ó jẹ́ olórí láti inú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan.”
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 Mose sì rán wọn jáde láti aginjù Parani gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ Olúwa. Gbogbo wọn jẹ́ olórí àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli.
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 Orúkọ wọn nìwọ̀nyí: láti inú ẹ̀yà Reubeni, Ṣammua ọmọ Sakkuri;

16 Wọ̀nyí ni orúkọ àwọn ènìyàn tí Mose rán láti lọ yẹ ilẹ̀ náà wò. (Hosea ọmọ Nuni ni Mose sọ ní Joṣua.)
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 Nígbà tí Mose rán wọn lọ láti yẹ ilẹ̀ Kenaani wò, ó sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ gba ọ̀nà gúúsù lọ títí dé àwọn ìlú olókè.
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 Ẹ wò ó bí ilẹ̀ náà ti rí, bóyá àwọn tó ń gbé ilẹ̀ náà jẹ́ alágbára tàbí aláìlágbára, bóyá wọ́n pọ̀ tàbí wọn kéré.
And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;
19 Irú ilẹ̀ wo ni wọ́n gbé? Ṣé ilẹ̀ tó dára ni àbí èyí tí kò dára? Báwo ni ìlú wọn ti rí? Ṣé ìlú olódi ni àbí èyí tí kò ní odi?
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 Báwo ni ilẹ̀ náà ti rí? Ṣé ilẹ̀ ọlọ́ràá ni tàbí aṣálẹ̀? Ṣé igi wà níbẹ̀ àbí kò sí? E sa ipá yín láti rí i pé ẹ mú díẹ̀ nínú èso ilẹ̀ náà wá.” (Ìgbà náà sì jẹ́ àkókò àkọ́pọ́n èso àjàrà gireepu.)
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n gòkè lọ láti yẹ ilẹ̀ náà wò, wọ́n lọ láti aginjù Sini títí dé Rehobu lọ́nà Lebo-Hamati.
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 Wọ́n gba gúúsù lọ sí Hebroni níbi tí Ahimani, Ṣeṣai àti Talmai tí í ṣe irú-ọmọ Anaki ń gbé. (A ti kọ́ Hebroni ní ọdún méje ṣáájú Ṣoani ní Ejibiti.)
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 Nígbà tí wọ́n dé àfonífojì Eṣkolu, wọ́n gé ẹ̀ka kan tó ní ìdì èso àjàrà gireepu kan. Àwọn méjì sì fi ọ̀pá kan gbé e; wọ́n tún mú èso pomegiranate àti èso ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ pẹ̀lú.
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 Wọ́n sì sọ ibẹ̀ ní àfonífojì Eṣkolu nítorí ìdì èso gireepu tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gé níbẹ̀.
That place was named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.
25 Wọ́n padà sílé lẹ́yìn ogójì ọjọ́ tí wọ́n ti lọ yẹ ilẹ̀ náà wò.
At the end of forty days they came back from viewing the land.
26 Wọ́n padà wá bá Mose àti Aaroni àti gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ijù Kadeṣi Parani. Wọ́n mú ìròyìn wá fún wọn àti fún gbogbo ìjọ ènìyàn, wọ́n fi èso ilẹ̀ náà hàn wọ́n.
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 Wọ́n sì fún Mose ní ìròyìn báyìí, “A lọ sí ilẹ̀ ibi tí o rán wa, lóòtítọ́ ló sì ń sàn fún wàrà àti fún oyin! Èso ibẹ̀ nìyìí.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn tó ń gbé níbẹ̀ lágbára, àwọn ìlú náà jẹ́ ìlú olódi bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì tóbi púpọ̀. A tilẹ̀ rí àwọn irú-ọmọ Anaki níbẹ̀.
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 Àwọn Amaleki ń gbé ní ìhà gúúsù; àwọn ará Hiti, àwọn ará Jebusi àti àwọn ará Amori ni wọ́n ń gbé ní orí òkè ilẹ̀ náà, àwọn ará Kenaani sì ń gbé ẹ̀bá òkun àti ní etí bèbè Jordani.”
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 Kalebu sì pa àwọn ènìyàn náà lẹ́nu mọ́ níwájú Mose, ó wí pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí á gòkè lọ lẹ́ẹ̀kan náà láti lọ gba ilẹ̀ náà, nítorí pé àwa le è gbà á.”
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 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọkùnrin tí wọ́n jọ gòkè lọ yẹ ilẹ̀ wò sọ pé, “Àwa kò le gòkè lọ bá àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí nítorí pé wọ́n lágbára jù wá lọ.”
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 Báyìí ni wọ́n ṣe mú ìròyìn búburú ti ilẹ̀ náà, tí wọ́n lọ yọ́wò wá fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Wọ́n wí pé, “Ilẹ̀ tí a lọ yẹ̀ wò jẹ́ ilẹ̀ tí ń run àwọn olùgbé ibẹ̀. Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí a rí níbẹ̀ jẹ́ ènìyàn tó fìrìgbọ̀n tó sì síngbọnlẹ̀.
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 A sì tún rí àwọn òmíràn (irú àwọn ọmọ Anaki) àwa sì rí bí i kòkòrò tata ní ojú ara wa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa náà sì rí ní ojú wọn.”
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.
