Numbers 13
1 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
And there, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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, who may examine the land of Canaan, which I will give to the sons of Israel, one from the rulers of each tribe.”
3 Mose sì rán wọn jáde láti aginjù Parani gẹ́gẹ́ bí àṣẹ Olúwa. Gbogbo wọn jẹ́ olórí àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli.
Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending, from the desert of Paran, leading men, whose names are these:
4 Orúkọ wọn nìwọ̀nyí: láti inú ẹ̀yà Reubeni, Ṣammua ọmọ Sakkuri;
from the tribe of Ruben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
5 láti inú ẹ̀yà Simeoni, Ṣafati ọmọ Hori;

8 láti inú ẹ̀yà Efraimu, Hosea ọmọ Nuni;

9 láti inú ẹ̀yà Benjamini, Palti ọmọ Rafu;

10 láti inú ẹ̀yà Sebuluni, Daddieli ọmọ Sodi;
from the tribe of Zebulon, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
11 láti inú ẹ̀yà Manase (ẹ̀yà Josẹfu), Gaddi ọmọ Susi;
from the tribe of Joseph, of the scepter of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
12 láti inú ẹ̀yà Dani, Ammieli ọmọ Gemalli;

13 láti inú ẹ̀yà Aṣeri, Seturu ọmọ Mikaeli.
from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
14 láti inú ẹ̀yà Naftali, Nabi ọmọ Fofsi;
from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
15 láti inú ẹ̀yà Gadi, Geueli ọmọ Maki.
from the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi.
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 examine the land. And he called Hosea, the son of Nun, 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.
And so, Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan, and he said to them: “Ascend by the south side. And when you arrive at the mountains,
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.
consider the land, as to what kind it may be, and the people, who are its inhabitants, whether they may be strong or weak, whether they may be few in number or many,
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 the land itself, whether it is good or bad, what kind of cities, walled or without walls,
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.)
the soil, rich or barren, forested or without trees. Be strong, and bring us some of the fruits of the land.” Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes were ready to be eaten.
21 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n gòkè lọ láti yẹ ilẹ̀ náà wò, wọ́n lọ láti aginjù Sini títí dé Rehobu lọ́nà Lebo-Hamati.
And when they had ascended, they explored the land from the desert of Sin, all the way to Rehob, as one enters into 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.)
And they ascended by the south side. And they arrived at Hebron, where there were Ahiman and Shishai and Talmai, the sons of Anak. For Hebron was founded seven years before Tanis, the city of 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 continuing on as far as the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, they cut off a vine with its grapes, which two men carried on a board. Likewise, they took from the pomegranates and the figs of that place,
24 Wọ́n sì sọ ibẹ̀ ní àfonífojì Eṣkolu nítorí ìdì èso gireepu tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gé níbẹ̀.
which was called Nehel Eshcol, that is, the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, because the sons of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes from there.
25 Wọ́n padà sílé lẹ́yìn ogójì ọjọ́ tí wọ́n ti lọ yẹ ilẹ̀ náà wò.
And those exploring the land returned after forty days, having circulated through the entire region.
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 went to Moses and Aaron, and to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel in the desert of Paran, which is in Kadesh. And speaking to them, and to the entire multitude, they showed them the fruits 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 explained, saying: “We went into the land, to which you sent us, which, it is true, flows with milk and honey, as one can know by these fruits.
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 it has very strong occupants, and the cities are great and also walled. We saw the race 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.”
Amalek lives in the south. The Hethite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite live in the mountains. And truly, the Canaanite stays near the sea and around the streams of the 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.”
During these events, Caleb, to restrain the murmuring of the people who rose up against Moses, said, “Let us ascend and possess the land, for we will be able to obtain 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.”
Yet truly, the others, who had been with him, were saying, “By no means are we able to ascend to this people, because they are stronger than we are.”
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 before the sons of Israel they disparaged the land, which they had inspected, saying: “The land, which we viewed, devours its inhabitants. The people, upon whom we gazed, were of lofty stature.
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 some monsters among the sons of Anak, of the race of giants; by comparison with them, we seemed like locusts.”
