1And the LORD said to Moses,
1Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
2“Send out for yourself men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each of their fathers’ tribes send one man who is a leader among them.”
2kai mah Israel kaminawk khaeah paek ih Kanaan prae khet hanah kami to patoeh ah; acaeng maeto thung hoi zaehoikung maeto patoeh ah, tiah a naa.
3So at the consent of the LORD, Moses sent them out from the Wilderness of Paran. All the men were leaders of the Israelites,
3Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah Paran praezaek hoiah nihcae to patoeh; nihcae loe Israel zaehoikung ah oh o boih.
4and these were their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
4To kaminawk ih ahmin loe, Reuben acaeng thung hoiah, Zakur capa Shammua.
5from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
5Simeon acaeng thung hoiah, Hori capa Shaphat.
6from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
6Judah acaeng thung hoiah, Jephunneh capa Kaleb.
7from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
7Issakar acaeng thung hoiah, Joseph capa Igal.
8from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
8Ephraim acaeng thung hoiah, Nun capa Oshea.
9from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
9Benjamin acaeng thung hoiah, Raphu capa Palti.
10from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
10Zebulun acaeng thung hoiah, Sodi capa Gaddiel.
11from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;
11Joseph acaeng ah kaom, Mannaseh acaeng thung hoiah, Susi capa Gaddi.
12from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
12Dan acaeng thung hoiah, Gemalli capa Ammiel.

13Asher acaeng thung hoiah, Mikhael capa Sethur.
14from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
14Naphtali acaeng thung hoiah, Vophsi capa Nahbi.
15and from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
15Gad acaeng thung hoiah, Maki capa Geuel.
16These were the names of the men Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses gave to Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.
16Hae kaminawk loe Mosi mah tamquta hoi prae khet han patoeh ih kami ah oh o. Mosi mah Nun capa Oshea to Jehoshua, tiah ahmin paek.
17When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he told them, “Go up through the Negev and into the hill country.
17Kanaan prae khet hanah Mosi mah nihcae to patoeh naah, aloih bang hoiah caeh o tahang ah loe, mae ah daw o tahang poe ah, tiah a naa.
18See what the land is like and whether its people are strong or weak, few or many.
18Prae loe kawbang maw oh; to ah kaom prae kaminawk loe thacak o maw, thacak o ai, kami pop o maw, pop o ai;
19Is the land where they live good or bad? Are the cities where they dwell open camps or fortifications?
19nihcae ohhaih prae loe hoih maw, hoih ai; kawbaktih vangpui thungah maw oh o; buk thungah maw, to tih ai boeh loe sipae kaom vangpui thungah;
20Is the soil fertile or unproductive? Are there trees in it or not? Be courageous, and bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)
20long loe kawbang maw oh, long loe hoih maw, hoih ai; thing pop maw, pop ai, tito khen oh; misahoih oh loe, prae thung ih thingthai doeh sin oh, tiah a naa. To nathuem ih atue loe misurthaih hmin tangsuekhaih atue ah oh.
21So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo-hamath.
21To pongah nihcae loe Zin praezaek hoiah caeh o moe, Hammath vangpui taeng ih Rehob ahmuen karoek to prae to a khet o.
22They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, dwelled. It had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
22Aloih bang hoiah caeh o poe moe, Anak caanawk, Ahiman, Sheshai hoi Talmai ohhaih, Hebron vangpui to a phak o. Hebron vangpui loe Izip prae ih Zoan vangpui sah ai naah saning sarihto oh boeh.
23When they came to the Valley of Eshcol, they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes, which they carried on a pole between two men. They also took some pomegranates and figs.
23Eshkol ih vacong to phak o naah, misurthaih kangbom tanghang maeto pakhruk o moe, kami hnetto mah angzawn hoi; pomogranat thaih hoi thaiduet thaih doeh angzawn hoi.
24Because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut there, that place was called the Valley of Eshcol.
24Israel kaminawk mah to ahmuen ah kanghmat misurthaih tanghang maeto pakhruk o pongah, to ahmuen to Eshkol vacong, tiah kawk o.
25After forty days the men returned from spying out the land,
25Ni qui palito pacoengah prae khethaih ahmuen hoiah amlaem o let.
26and they went back to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back a report for the whole congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
26Nihcae loe Mosi hoi Aaron ohhaih Paran praezaek ih Kadesh ah, Israel kaminawk khaeah angzoh o let; nihcae khaeah prae khethaih kawng to thuih pae o, kaminawk khaeah to prae thung ih thingthai to patuek o.
27And they gave this account to Moses: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and indeed, it is flowing with milk and honey. Here is some of its fruit!
27Mosi khaeah, Nang patoeh ih prae thungah ka caeh o, to prae loe khoitui hoi tahnutui long tangak boeh; hae loe to prae thung hoi kang sin o ih thingthai ah oh.
28Nevertheless, the people living in the land are strong, and the cities are large and fortified. We even saw the descendants of Anak there.
28Toe to prae thungah kaom kaminawk loe thacak o parai moe, vangpuinawk doeh len parai, vangpuinawk loe sipae thungh o boih; to ahmuen ah Anak ih caanawk to ka hnuk o.
29The Amalekites live in the land of the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan.”
29Amalek kaminawk loe aloih bang prae ah oh o; Hit kaminawk, Jebus kaminawk hoi Amor kaminawk loe mae nuiah oh o; Kanaan kaminawk loe tuipui taeng hoi Jordan vapui taengah oh o, tiah a thuih pae o.
30Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “We must go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly conquer it!”
30Kaleb mah Mosi hmaa ah kaminawk to anghaisak moe, Caeh o si loe, to prae to la o si; a pazawk o thai tih hmang, tiah a naa.
31But the men who had gone up with him replied, “We cannot go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are!”
31Toe anih hoi nawnto caeh kaminawk mah loe, To ih kaminawk to a pazawk o thai mak ai; nihcae loe aicae pongah thacak o kue, tiah a naa o.
32So they gave the Israelites a bad report about the land that they had spied out: “The land we explored devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw there are great in stature.
32Nihcae mah prae khethaih tamthang kasae to Israel kaminawk salakah haeh o; to kaminawk mah, Ka caeh moe, ka khet o ih prae loe, a thungah kaom kaminawk paaeh boih prae ah oh; to ah kaom ka hnuk o ih kaminawk boih loe len o phi.
33We even saw the Nephilim there—the descendants of Anak that come from the Nephilim! We seemed like grasshoppers in our own sight, and we must have seemed the same to them!”
33To ah kalen parai kami, Anak caanawk to ka hnuk o; nihcae loe kalen parai kami hoi anghum tathuk kami ah oh o; nihcae mikhnuk ah kaicae loe pakhuh baktiah ni ka oh o; kaicae loe nihcae mikhnuk ah to tiah ka oh o, tiah a naa o.
