¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹[Ny amin'ny mpisafo-tany] Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy, ka nanao hoe:

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.

²Maniraha lehilahy vitsivitsy hisafo ny tany Kanana, izay omeko ho an'ny Zanak'Isiraely; dia lehilahy iray avy isam-pirazanany no hirahinareo, ka izay samy lohan'ny fireneny avy.

³And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.

³Ary Mosesy dia naniraka azy hiala any an-efitra Parana, araka ny didin'i Jehovah; ary samy lohan'ny firenen'ny Zanak'Isiraely ireo lehilahy rehetra ireo.

⁴And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

¹⁶These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.

¹⁶Ireo no anaran'ny lehilahy izay nirahin'i Mosesy hisafo ny tany. Ary Hosea, zanak'i Nona, dia nataon'i Mosesy hoe Josoa.

¹⁷And 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:

¹⁷Ary Mosesy naniraka ireo hisafo ny tany Kanana ka nanao taminy hoe: Miakara atỳ amin'ny tany atsimo ianareo, ka miakara ho any amin'ny tany havoana;

¹⁸And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;

¹⁸dia izahao izay toetry ny tany sy ny olona monina any, na mahery, na osa, na vitsy, na maro;

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;

¹⁹ary izay toetry ny tany itoerany, na tsara, na ratsy; ary ny toetry ny tanàna izay itoerany, na ao an-day, na ao an-tanàna mimanda;

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 first ripe grapes.

²⁰ary ny toetry ny tany, na lonaka, na màzana, na misy hazo eo, na tsia; ary mahereza ianareo, ka itondray ny vokatry ny tany. Ary ny andro fahizany dia fahamasahan'ny voaloboka mialin-taona.

²¹So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.

²¹Dia niakatra ireo ka nisafo ny tany hatramin'ny efitra Zina ka hatrany Rehoba, dia ao akaikin'i Hamata.

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.)

²²Dia niakatra tao amin'ny tany atsimo izy ka nankany Hebrona; ary teo Ahimana sy Sesay ary Talmay, teraky ny Anakita. (Ary Hebrona dia voaorina fito taona talohan'i Zoana any Egypta.)

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.

²³Dia nankany amin'ny lohasaha Eskola izy ka nanapaka sampam-boaloboka teo izay nisy sampahony iray ihany, ary nolanjain-droa lahy tamin'ny hazo izany; ary ny ampongaben-danitra sy ny aviavy dia nitondrany koa.

²⁴The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

²⁴Ary izany tany izany dia nataony hoe Lohasaha Eskola, noho ny sampahom-boaloboka izay notapahin'ny Zanak'Isiraely teo.

²⁵And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.

²⁵Ary niverina avy nisafo ny tany ireo, nony afaka efa-polo andro.

²⁶And 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 showed them the fruit of the land.

²⁶Dia nankeo amin'i Mosesy sy Arona ary ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, tany an-efitra Parana izy, dia tany Kadesy, ka nitondra teny taminy sy ny fiangonana rehetra sady naneho azy ny vokatry ny tany.

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.

²⁷Dia nilaza taminy izy ka nanao hoe: Tonga tany amin'ny tany izay nanirahanao anay izahay, koa tondra-dronono sy tantely tokoa izy; ary itony no vokatra avy tany.

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.

²⁸Kanefa kosa mahery ny olona izay monina eo amin'ny tany; ary ny tanàna dia mimanda sady lehibe dia lehibe; ary koa, nahita ny teraky ny Anakita teo izahay.

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.

²⁹Ny Amalekita no monina eo amin'ny tany atsimo; ary ny Hetita sy ny Jebosita ary ny Amorita no monina any amin'ny tany havoana; ary ny Kananita no monina eo amoron'ny ranomasina sy eo amoron'i Jordana.

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.

³⁰Fa Kaleba dia nampangina ny olona teo anatrehan'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Andeha isika hiakatra mihitsy mba hahazoantsika azy, fa haharesy azy tokoa isika.

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.

³¹Fa hoy kosa ny lehilahy izay niara-niakatra taminy: Tsy mahazo miakatra handresy ny olona isika; fa mahery noho isika izy.

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.

³²Dia nilaza ratsy ny tany izay nosafoiny tamin'ny Zanak'Isiraely izy ka nanao hoe: Ny tany izay nalehanay nosafoina dia tany izay mandevona ny monina eo, ary ny olona rehetra izay hitanay teo dia olona vaventibe;ary nahita ny Nefilima teo izahay, dia taranaky ny Anakita avy amin'ny Nefilima; ary teo imasonay dia tahaka ny tsingentana izahay; ary toy izany koa izahay teo imasony.

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.

³³ary nahita ny Nefilima teo izahay, dia taranaky ny Anakita avy amin'ny Nefilima; ary teo imasonay dia tahaka ny tsingentana izahay; ary toy izany koa izahay teo imasony.
