These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.
17 Moses loh amih te Kanaan khohmuen yaam ham a tueih. Te vaengah amih te tuithim lamloh pahoi cet uh lamtah tlang la yoeng uh.
So Moses sent them to have a look at the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up into the South and into the hill-country;
18 Khohmuen neh a khuikah khosa pilnam te so uh. Aka tlungluen nim, aka kha nim, yol nim, yet nim?
And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;
19 A 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?
And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their living-places are, tent-circles or walled towns;
20 Diklai 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.
And if the land is fertile or poor, and if there is wood in it or not. And be of good heart, and come back with some of the produce of the land. Now it was the time when the first grapes were ready.
21 Te dongah cet uh tih khohmuen te Zin khosoek lamloh Lebokhamath Rehob duela a yaam uh.
So they went up and got a view of the land, from the waste land of Zin to Rehob, on the way to Hamath.
22 Te 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.
They went up into the South and came to Hebron; and Ahiman and Sheshai and Talmai, the children of Anak, were living there. (Now the building of Hebron took place seven years before that of Zoan in Egypt.)
23 Eshkol 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 khuenuh.
And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some pomegranates and figs.
24 Israel ca rhoek loh te lamkah thaihsu te a haih uh kawng dongah te hmuen te Eshkol soklong a sui.
That place was named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.
25 Khohnin likip a thok vaengah khohmuen aka yaam lamloh mael uh.
At the end of forty days they came back from viewing the land.
26 Cet 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.
And they came back to Moses and Aaron and all the children of Israel, to Kadesh in the waste land of Paran; and gave an account to them and to all the people and let them see the produce of the land.
27 A 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.
And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.
28 Lungli 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.
But the people living in the land are strong, and the towns are walled and very great; further, we saw the children of Anak there.
29 Amalek 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.
And the Amalekites are in the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill-country; and the Canaanites by the sea and by the side of Jordan.
30 Tedae 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.
Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, Let us go up straight away and take this land; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 Te vaengah amah neh aka cet hlang rhoek loh, “Mamihs lakah tlungluen coeng tih pilnam te paan ham coeng pawh,” a ti uh.
But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
32 Khohmuen 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.
And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.
33 Teah 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.
There we saw those great men, the sons of Anak, offspring of the Nephilim: and we seemed to ourselves no more than insects, and so we seemed to them.
