¹Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi, akati,

¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

²Tuma varume kuti vandoshora nyika yeKanani, yandichapa vana vaIsiraeri; utume mumwe worudzi rumwe norumwe rwamadzibaba avo, vose vave vakuru pakati pavo.

²Send thou men, that they may search out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Ye shall send a man of every tribe of his fathers, each a prince among them.

³Mozisi akavatuma, vakabva murenje reParani, nokuraira kwaJehovha, vose vavo vari varume vaiva vakuru vavana vaIsiraeri.

³And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran: according to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them heads of the children of Israel.

¹⁶These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to search out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua.

¹⁷Mozisi akavatuma kundoshora nyika yeKanani, akati kwavari, Endai nenzira iyi yeZasi, mukwire mumakomo;

¹⁷And Moses sent them to search out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the south and go up into the hill-country,

¹⁸mundoona nyika, kuti yakadiniko, navanhu vageremo, kana vane simba, kana vasina, kana vari vashoma, kana vari vazhinji;

¹⁸and ye shall see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;

¹⁹nenyikawo yavageremo, kuti yakadiniko, kana yakanaka, kana yakaipa; namaguta mavagere, kuti akadiniko, kana vagere mumisasa kana munhare;

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;

²⁰nevhu, kuti rakadiniko, kana rakaorera kana risina kuorera, kana pane miti kana pasina miti; tsungai moyo, mugouya nezvibereko zvenyika iyo. Zvino yaiva nguva yokutanga kuibva kwamazambiringa.

²⁰and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it, or not. And take courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first grapes.

²¹Naizvozvo vakakwira vakandoshora nyika, vachibva murenje reZini, kusvikira Rehobhu, pavanopinda Hamati.

²¹And they went up, and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath.

²²Vakapinda neZasi, vakasvika Hebhuroni; ipapo pakanga pana Ahimani naSheshai naTarimai, vanakomana vaAnaki. (Pakuvakwa Hebhuroni rakatangira Zoani paEgipita namakore manomwe.)

²²And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.

²³Vakandosvika pamupata weEshikori, vakatema davi raiva nesumbu rimwe ramazambiringa, vakaritakura padanda pakati pavanhu vaviri; vakauyawo namatamba namaonde.

²³And they came as far as the valley of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a pole; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.

²⁴Nzvimbo iyo vakaitumidza mupata weEshikori nokuda kwesumbu rakatemwapo navana valsiraeri.

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

²⁵Mazuva ana makumi mana akati apera, vakadzoka pakushora nyika.

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

²⁶Vakasvika kuna Mozisi naAroni neungano yose yavana vaIsiraeri, murenje reParani paKadheshi, vakavaudza mashoko nokuvaratidza ivo neungano yose zvibereko zvenyika iyo.

²⁶And they came, and went to Moses and to Aaron, and to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to the whole assembly; and shewed them the fruit of the land.

²⁷Vakamuudza, vakati, Takaenda kunyika iyo kwamakatituma; zvirokwazvo inoyerera mukaka nouchi; izvi ndizvo zvibereko zvayo.

²⁷And they told him, and said, We came to the land to which thou didst send us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.

²⁸Asi vanhu vagere munyika iyo vane simba, maguta akakombwa namasvingo, makuru kwazvo; uye, takaonapo vana vaAnaki.

²⁸Only, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, very great; moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

²⁹VaAmareki vagere munyika nechezasi, navaHeti, navaJebhusi, navaAmori vagere mumakomo; vaKanani vagere pagungwa, nokurutivi rwaJoridhani.

²⁹Amalek dwells in the land of the south; and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.

³⁰Ipapo Karebhu akanyaradza vanhu pamberi paMozisi akati, Ngatikwire pakarepo, tindoitora, nekuti tinogona kwazvo kuikunda.

³⁰And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up boldly and possess it, for we are well able to do it.

³¹Asi vamwe varume vakanga vakwira naye, vakati, Hatigoni kukwira kundorwa navanhu avo, nekuti vanotikurira nesimba.

³¹But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.

³²Naizvozvo vakauya kuvana vaIsiraeri neshoko rakaipa pamusoro penyika iyo, yavakanga vaenda kundoishora, vachiti, Nyika iyo yatakapfuura napakati payo kuishora, inyika inopedza vanhu vageremo; vanhu vose vatakaonamo vaiva varume vakakura kwazvo.

³²And they brought to the children of Israel an evil report of the land which they had searched out, saying, The land, which we have passed through to search it out, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we have seen in it are men of great stature;

³³Takaonapo vanhu varefu, vana vaAnaki, vanobva pavarefu; kana tichizvifananidza, takanga takaita semhashu, ndozvatakanga takaita kwavariwo.

³³and there have we seen giants -- the sons of Anak are of the giants -- and we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so we were also in their sight.
