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

¹Yahweh spoke to 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 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.”

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.

³Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yahweh: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

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

¹⁵Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the 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 who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.

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;

¹⁷Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country:

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

¹⁸and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are 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 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;

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 therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.”

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

²¹So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of 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.)

²²They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now 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.

²³They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.

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

²⁴That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.

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

²⁵They returned from spying out 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.

²⁶They 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.

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.

²⁷They 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.

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.

²⁸However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak 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 dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along 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.

³⁰Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.”

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

³¹But the men who went up with him said, “We aren’t able to go up against the people; for they are 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.

³²They 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.

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.

³³There 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.”
