1And the LORD spake 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.”
2Send thou men, that they may search 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 ruler among them.
3Pea 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.

16These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
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:
17¶ And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
18ʻO 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;
18And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
19Pea 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.”
19And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
20Pea 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.
20And what the land is , whether it be fat or lean, whether there be 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 firstripe 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.
21¶ So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
22Pea 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.),
22And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were . (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23Pea 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.
23And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24Pea naʻe ui ʻae potu ko ia, ko e vaitafe ʻo ʻEsikoli, koeʻuhi ko e fuhinga kālepi naʻe tuʻusi ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
24The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, naʻa nau liliu mai mei heʻenau vakai ʻae fonua.
25And they returned from searching of the land after 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.
26¶ And 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 shewed them the fruit of the land.
27Pea 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.
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.
28Ka 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.
28Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29ʻOku 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.”
29The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30Pea 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.”
30And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31Ka 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.”
31But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32Pea 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.
32And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33Pea 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.”
33And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
