1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Sulela kais sie mwet kol ke sruf singoul luo ah, ac supwalosla in som kalngeyuk ke luman acn Canaan, su nga ac fah sang nu sin mwet Israel.”
"Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them."
3 Ke ma inge Moses el oru oana, ac supwala mwet kol liki acn mwesis lun Paran, fal nu ke sap lun LEUM GOD, oana ma takla ten inge:
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.

These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
17 Pacl se Moses el supwalos in som, el fahk nu selos, “Utyak ke inkanek nu epang, ac fahla nu layen eir lun acn Canaan, na fanyak nu in acn oasr eol we.
Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way by the Negev, and go up into the hill country:
18 Som ac liye lah acn we acn fuka se, ac liye lah pus ku pu mwet we. Liye pac lah mwet we elos mwet ku ku munas.
and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
19 Kowos in liye lah acn sac wo ku koluk, ac acn mwet uh muta we lah nien na aktuktuk, ku siti ma kuhlusyukyak ke pot ku.
and 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;
20 Liye pac lah fohkon acn we wo, ac pus sak we. Ac ke kowos foloko, kowos in esam in use kutu fokinsak we.” (Pacl se inge grape uh mutawauk in mwesrla.)
and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood in it, or not. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes."
21 Ke ma inge mwet ah utyak nu epang ac tuni acn uh, mutawauk yen mwesis lun Zin, layen eir lac na nwe Rehab, su oan apkuran nu Innek In Utyak Nu Hamath, layen epang.
So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to Lebo Hamath.
22 Elos utyak meet nu layen eir ac tuku nu Hebron. (Siti se inge musaiyukyak yac itkosr meet liki Zoan in acn Egypt.) In acn Hebron elos liye sou lulap tolu lun Ahiman, Sheshai, ac Talmai, ma ke sou lun mwet na lulap pisa pangpang mwet Anak.
They went up by the Negev, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 Elos tuku nu Infahlfal Eshcol, ac pakela lah se su ungin grape na toasr se oan kac. Ke sripen arulana toasr, enenu mwet luo in polongya us ke soko srenenu. Elos oayapa us kutu pomegranate ac fig. (
They came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes on it, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
24 Elos sang inen acn sac Infahlfal Eshcol ke sripen ungin grape se mwet Israel pakela we.)
That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
25 Tukun elos forfor ac oru kalngeyuk lalos in acn sac ke len angngaul, na elos folokla
They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
26 nu yorol Moses, Aaron, ac sruf nukewa lun Israel in acn Kadesh ke yen mwesis lun Paran. Elos srumun ma elos liye ac sang nu sin mwet uh fokinsak ma elos us tuku.
They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Elos fahk nu sel Moses, “Kut som tuni facl sac ac konauk lah acn na mut ac kasrup fohk we. Pa inge kutu fokinsak we.
They told him, and said, "We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.
28 Tusruktu mwet ma muta we mwet na fokoko, ac siti selos uh arulana yohk ac potiyukyak ku. Sayen ma inge, kut tuh liye kutu koht we, ma ke fwilin tulik natul Anak.
However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there.
29 Mwet Amalek elos muta layen eir ke acn we. Mwet Hit, mwet Jebus, ac mwet Amor muta fineol uh, ac mwet Canaan muta sisken Meoa Mediterranean ac sisken Infacl Jordan.”
Amalek dwells in the land of the Negev: and the Hethites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan."
30 Caleb el akmisyela mwet su lainul Moses, ac fahk, “Kut som ingena ac eisla acn we. Kut ku in kutangulosla.”
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."
31 A mwet ma welul Caleb som elos fahk, “Mo, kut tia ku in lainulos, mweyen mwet we uh arulana ku liki kut.”
But the men who went up with him said, "We aren't able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."
32 Ouinge elos srumunelik kas sutuu ke acn se elos kalngeyuk we inmasrlon mwet Israel. Elos fahk mu, “Fokin acn we tia fal in sang kite mwet we. Mwet nukewa kut liye we mwet na loeska,
They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 ac kut liye pac kutu mwet na lulap pisa we, pangpang Nephilim, su papa matu tumun mwet Anak. Ke kut liyalos kut oana koht srisrik sohksok uh nu selos.”
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."
