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

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

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.

²`Send for thee men, and they spy the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man, one man for the tribe of his fathers ye do send, every one a prince among them.`

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.

³And Moses sendeth them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of Jehovah; all of them [are] men, heads of the sons of Israel they are,

⁴Ary izao no anarany: Avy tamin'ny firenen'i Robena dia Samoa, zanak'i Zakora;

⁴and these their names: For the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur.

⁵avy tamin'ny firenen'i Simeona dia Safata, zanak'i Hory;

¹⁵avy tamin'ny firenen'i Gada dia Geoela, zanak'i Maky.

¹⁵For the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.

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

¹⁶These [are] the names of the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land; and Moses calleth Hoshea son of Nun, Jehoshua.

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;

¹⁷And Moses sendeth them to spy the land of Canaan, and saith unto them, `Go ye up this [way] into the south, and ye have gone up the mountain,

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

¹⁸and have seen the land what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble; whether it [is] few or many;

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;

¹⁹and what the land [is] in which it is dwelling, whether it [is] good or bad; and what [are] the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses;

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.

²⁰And what the land [is], whether it [is] fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and ye have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land;` and the days [are] days of the first-fruits of grapes.

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

²¹And they go up and spy the land, from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the going in to Hamath;

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.)

²²and they go up by the south, and come in unto Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt),

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.

²³and they come in unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch and one cluster of grapes, and they bear it on a staff by two, also [some] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

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

²⁴That place hath [one] called Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from thence.

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

²⁵And they turn back from spying the land at the end of forty days.

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.

²⁶And they go and come in unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company of the sons of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the company back word, and shew them the fruit of the land.

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.

²⁷And they recount to him, and say, `We came in unto the land whither thou hast sent us, and also it [is] flowing with milk and honey — and this [is] its fruit;

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.

²⁸only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fenced, very great; and also children of Anak we have seen there.

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.

²⁹Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite is dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.`

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.

³⁰And Caleb stilleth the people concerning Moses, and saith, `Let us certainly go up — and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able for it.`

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

³¹And the men who have gone up with him said, `We are not able to go up against the people, for it [is] stronger than we;`

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.

³²and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied unto the sons of Israel, saying, `The land into which we passed over to spy it, is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of stature;

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.

³³and there we saw the Nephilim, sons of Anak, of the Nephilim; and we are in our own eyes as grasshoppers; and so we were in their eyes.`
