1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
1Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi, akati,
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.”
2Tuma varume kuti vandoshora nyika yeKanani, yandichapa vana vaIsiraeri; utume mumwe worudzi rumwe norumwe rwamadzibaba avo, vose vave vakuru pakati pavo.
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.
3Mozisi akavatuma, vakabva murenje reParani, nokuraira kwaJehovha, vose vavo vari varume vaiva vakuru vavana vaIsiraeri.

16These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
16Ndiwo mazita avarume vakatumwa naMozisi kundoshora nyika. Mozisi akatumidza Hoshea, mwanakomana waNuni, zita rinonzi Joshua.
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:
17Mozisi akavatuma kundoshora nyika yeKanani, akati kwavari, Endai nenzira iyi yeZasi, mukwire mumakomo;
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;
18mundoona nyika, kuti yakadiniko, navanhu vageremo, kana vane simba, kana vasina, kana vari vashoma, kana vari vazhinji;
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;
19nenyikawo yavageremo, kuti yakadiniko, kana yakanaka, kana yakaipa; namaguta mavagere, kuti akadiniko, kana vagere mumisasa kana munhare;
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.”
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.
21So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
21Naizvozvo vakakwira vakandoshora nyika, vachibva murenje reZini, kusvikira Rehobhu, pavanopinda Hamati.
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.)
22Vakapinda neZasi, vakasvika Hebhuroni; ipapo pakanga pana Ahimani naSheshai naTarimai, vanakomana vaAnaki. (Pakuvakwa Hebhuroni rakatangira Zoani paEgipita namakore manomwe.)
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.
23Vakandosvika pamupata weEshikori, vakatema davi raiva nesumbu rimwe ramazambiringa, vakaritakura padanda pakati pavanhu vaviri; vakauyawo namatamba namaonde.
24That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
24Nzvimbo iyo vakaitumidza mupata weEshikori nokuda kwesumbu rakatemwapo navana valsiraeri.
25They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
25Mazuva ana makumi mana akati apera, vakadzoka pakushora nyika.
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.
26Vakasvika kuna Mozisi naAroni neungano yose yavana vaIsiraeri, murenje reParani paKadheshi, vakavaudza mashoko nokuvaratidza ivo neungano yose zvibereko zvenyika iyo.
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.
27Vakamuudza, vakati, Takaenda kunyika iyo kwamakatituma; zvirokwazvo inoyerera mukaka nouchi; izvi ndizvo zvibereko zvayo.
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.
28Asi vanhu vagere munyika iyo vane simba, maguta akakombwa namasvingo, makuru kwazvo; uye, takaonapo vana vaAnaki.
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.”
29VaAmareki vagere munyika nechezasi, navaHeti, navaJebhusi, navaAmori vagere mumakomo; vaKanani vagere pagungwa, nokurutivi rwaJoridhani.
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.”
30Ipapo Karebhu akanyaradza vanhu pamberi paMozisi akati, Ngatikwire pakarepo, tindoitora, nekuti tinogona kwazvo kuikunda.
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.”
31Asi vamwe varume vakanga vakwira naye, vakati, Hatigoni kukwira kundorwa navanhu avo, nekuti vanotikurira nesimba.
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.
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.
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.”
33Takaonapo vanhu varefu, vana vaAnaki, vanobva pavarefu; kana tichizvifananidza, takanga takaita semhashu, ndozvatakanga takaita kwavariwo.
