1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
1BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2'Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel; of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a prince among them.'
2“Namah kah hlang rhoek te tueih lamtah Kanaan kho te yaam uh saeh. Te te Israel ca rhoek taengah ka paek coeng. A napa rhoek koca lamloh hlang pakhat, hlang pakhat tah amamih kah lamkah khoboei la boeih tueih,” a ti nah.
3And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD; all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
3Te dongah BOEIPA kah olka bangla Moses loh amih te Paran khosoek lamloh a tueih. Amih tah Israel ca rhoek kah a lu hlang boeih ni.

16These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
16Te kah hlang rhoek te a ming Moses loh khohmuen yaam ham a tueih. Te vaengah Moses loh Nun capa Hosea te Joshua la a khue.
17And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them: 'Get you up here into the South, and go up into the mountains;
17Moses loh amih te Kanaan khohmuen yaam ham a tueih. Te vaengah amih te tuithim lamloh pahoi cet uh lamtah tlang la yoeng uh.
18and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
18Khohmuen neh a khuikah khosa pilnam te so uh. Aka tlungluen nim, aka kha nim, yol nim, yet nim?
19and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;
19A khuiah kho a sak te mebang khohmuen nim? Then nim, thae nim? A khuiah kho a sak khopuei rhoek te rhaehhmuen nen nim, hmuencak nen nim?
20and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land.' — Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes. —
20Diklai te ul nim, caep nim? A khuiah thing om nim, om pawt nim? Moem uh thae lamtah khohmuen thaihtae te hang khuen uh. A tue khaw misur thaihcuek tue coeng ni,” a ti nah.
21So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, at the entrance to Hamath.
21Te dongah cet uh tih khohmuen te Zin khosoek lamloh Lebokhamath Rehob duela a yaam uh.
22And they went up into the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. — Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt. —
22Te dongah tuithim longah cet uh tih Hebron la pawk uh. Te vaengah Anakim cahlah Sheshai Ahiman neh Talmai ana om coeng. Hebron he Egypt Zoan mikhmuh ah kum rhih khuiah a thoh.
23And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a pole between two; they took also of the pomegranates, and of the figs. —
23Eshkol soklong la a pawk uh vaengah thingluei te a saih uh tih misur a su pakhat te panit loh cunghloeng dongah a koh. Te vaengah tale thaih neh thaibu thaih te a khuen uh.
24That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence. —
24Israel ca rhoek loh te lamkah thaihsu te a haih uh kawng dongah te hmuen te Eshkol soklong a sui.
25And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
25Khohnin likip a thok vaengah khohmuen aka yaam lamloh mael uh.
26And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
26Cet tih Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah khaw, Kadesh Paran khosoek kah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih taengla pawk. Amih taengah olka a khuen uh tih rhaengpuei boeih taengah khohmuen thingthaih te a tueng uh.
27And they told him, and said: 'We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
27A taengla a puen uh vaengah, “Kaimih nan tueih nah khohmuen la ka pawk uh , suktui neh khoitui khaw long ngawn tih he he a thaih ni.
28Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are fierce, and the cities are fortified, and very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
28Lungli lungla la, khohmuen kah khosa pilnam khaw tlung tih khopuei vong cak khaw, bahoeng khangmai. Te phoeiah Anakim cahlah rhoek pataeng hnap ka hmuh uh.
29Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South; and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.'
29Amalek loh tuithim khohmuen ah kho a sak, Khitti neh Jebusi neh Amori loh tlang ah kho a sak, Kanaan loh tuipuei taeng neh Jordan tuikaeng ah kho a sak,” a ti uh.
30And Caleb stilled the people toward Moses, and said: 'We should go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.'
30Tedae Kaleb loh pilnam te Moses mikhmuh ah a sim tih, “Cet rhoe cet uh sih lamtah te te pang uh sih, te te coeng rhoe coeng ta,” a ti.
31But the men that went up with him said: 'We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.'
31Te vaengah amah neh aka cet hlang rhoek loh, “Mamihs lakah tlungluen coeng tih pilnam te paan ham coeng pawh,” a ti uh.
32And they spread an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying: 'The land, through which we have passed to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.
32Khohmuen a yaam uh te theetnah la a khuen uh tih Israel ca rhoek taengah, “Khohmuen te yaam ham te longah ka paan uh , khohmuen tah amah khosa rhoek loh a yoop tih a khui kah pilnam te cungkui hlang la boeih ka hmuh uh.
33And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.'
33Teah te Anakim koca Nephilim te ka hmuh uh. Nephilim lamkah phoeiah tah kaimih mik ah tangku bangla kai om uh coeng tih amih mik ah khaw ka om van,” a ti uh.
