Nomipā 13
1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
And the Lord spoke to 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.”
Send for you men, and let them spy the land of the Chananites, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession; one man for a tribe, you shall send them away according to their families, every one of them a prince.
3 Pea 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.
And Moses sent them out of the wilderness of Pharan by the word of the Lord; all these [were] the princes of the sons of Israel.
4 Pea ko honau hingoa eni: ko Samua ko e foha ʻo Sakuli, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni.
And these [are] their names: of the tribe of Ruben, Samuel the son of Zachur.
5 Pea mo Safati ko e foha ʻo Holi, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Simione.
Of the tribe of Symeon, Saphat the son of Suri.

Of the tribe of Gad, Gudiel the son of Macchi.
16 Ko e hingoa eni ʻoe kau tangata naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kenau ō ʻo matakiʻi ʻae fonua. Pea naʻe ui ai ʻe Mōsese ʻa ʻOsea ko e foha ʻo Nuni ko Siosiua.
These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Ause the son of Naue, Joshua.
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:
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Chanaan, and said to them, Go up by this wilderness; and you shall go up to the mountain,
18 ʻO 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;
and you shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or [whether] they are few or many.
19 Pea 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.”
And what the land is on which they dwell, [whether] it is good or bad; and what the cities are wherein these dwell, whether they dwell in walled [cities] or unwalled.
20 Pea 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.
And what the land is, whether rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and you shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days [were] the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.
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.
And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.
22 Pea 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.),
And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there [was] Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of Egypt.
23 Pea 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.
And they came to the valley of the cluster and surveyed it; and they cut down thence a bough and one cluster of grapes upon it, and bore it on staves, and [they took] of the pomegranates and the figs.
24 Pea naʻe ui ʻae potu ko ia, ko e vaitafe ʻo ʻEsikoli, koeʻuhi ko e fuhinga kālepi naʻe tuʻusi ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
And they called that place, The valley of the cluster, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, naʻa nau liliu mai mei heʻenau vakai ʻae fonua.
And they returned from thence, having surveyed 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.
And they proceeded and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Pharan Cades; and they brought word to them and to all the congregation, and they showed the fruit of the land:
27 Pea 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.
and they reported to him, and said, We came into the land into which you sent us, a land flowing with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Ka 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.
Only the nation that dwells upon it is bold, and they have very great and strong walled towns, and we saw there the children of Enach.
29 ʻOku 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.”
And Amalec dwells in the land towards the south: and the Chettite and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwells in the hill country: and the Chananite dwells by the sea, and by the river Jordan.
30 Pea 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.”
And Chaleb stayed the people from speaking before Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them.
31 Ka 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.”
But the men that went up together with him said, We will not go up, for we shall not by any means be able to go up against the nation, for it is much stronger than we.
32 Pea 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.
And they brought a horror of that land which they surveyed upon the children of Israel, saying, The land which we passed by to survey it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of extraordinary stature.
33 Pea 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.”
And there we saw the giants; and we were before them as locusts, yes even so were we before them.
