Numbers 13
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 Sende thou men out to search the lande of Canaan which I giue vnto the children of Israel: of euery tribe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, such as are all rulers among them.
“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.”
3 Then Moses sent them out of the wildernesse of Paran at the commandement of the Lord: all those men were heades of the children of Israel.
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.
4 Also their names are these: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the sonne of Zaccur:

14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the sonne of Vophsi:

15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the sonne of Machi.
Pea mo Kineli ko e foha ʻo Maki, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Kata.
16 These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spie out the lande: and Moses called ye name of Oshea the sonne of Nun, Iehoshua.
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.
17 So Moses sent them to spie out the lande of Canaan, and said vnto them, Go vp this way toward the South, and go vp into the moutaines,
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:
18 And consider the land what it is, and the people that dwel therein, whether they be strong or weake, either fewe or many,
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;
19 Also what the lande is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad: and what cities they be, that they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents, or in walled townes:
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.”
20 And what the land is: whether it be fat or leane, whether there be trees therein, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruite of the lande (for then was the time of the first ripe grapes)
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.
21 So they went vp, and searched out the lande, from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, to go to Hamath,
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.
22 And they ascended toward the South, and came vnto Hebron, where were Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the sonnes of Anak. And Hebron was built seuen yeere before Zoan in Egypt.
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.),
23 Then they came to the riuer of Eshcol, and cut downe thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it vpon a barre betweene two, and brought of the pomegranates and of the figges.
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.
24 That place was called the riuer Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes, which the children of Israel cut downe thence.
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.
25 Then after fourtie dayes, they turned againe from searching of the land.
Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, naʻa nau liliu mai mei heʻenau vakai ʻae fonua.
26 And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron and vnto al the Congregation of the children of Israel, in the wildernesse of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought to the, and to all the Congregation tydings, and shewed them the fruite of the lande.
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.
27 And they tolde him, and saide, We came vnto the land whither thou hast sent vs, and surely it floweth with milke and honie: and here is of the fruite of it.
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.
28 Neuerthelesse the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and exceeding great: and moreouer, we sawe the sonnes of Anak there.
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.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the South countrey, and the Hittites, and the Iebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountaines, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Iorden.
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.”
30 Then Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and saide, Let vs go vp at once, and possesse it: for vndoubtedly we shall ouercome it.
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.”
31 But the men, that went vp with him, saide, we be not able to goe vp against the people: for they are stronger then we.
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.”
32 So they brought vp an euill report of the land which they had searched for the children of Israel, saying, The lande which we haue gone through to search it out, is a land that eateth vp the inhabitants thereof: for all the people that we sawe in it, are men of great stature.
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.
33 For there we sawe gyants, the sonnes of Anak, which come of the gyants, so that we seemed in our sight like grashoppers: and so wee were in their sight.
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.”
