Números 13

Ka Unga a Mohi he Tūtei ki Kanaana

1 I kōrero anō a Ihowā ki a Mohi, i mea, 2 "Me unga e koe ētahi tāngata hei tūtei mō te whenua o Kanaana, mō tērā e hoatu nei e ahau ki ngā tama a Īharaira. Kia kotahi o tēnei iwi, o tēnei iwi o ō rātou mātua e tonoa e koutou, hei te rangatira anake."

3 Nā, ka unga a Mohi i a rātou i te koraha o Parana, ka pērā me tā Ihowā i kī ai; he upoko katoa ēnei tāngata nō ngā tama a Īharaira. 4 Ko ō rātou ingoa ēnei:

nō te iwi o Reupena, ko Hāmua tama a Tākuru;

5 nō te iwi o Himiona, ko Hāpata tama a Hori;

6 nō te iwi o Hūrā, ko Karepe tama a Iepune;

7 nō te iwi o Ihākara, ko Ikara tama a Hōhepa;

8 nō te iwi o Ēparaima, ko Hohea tama a Nunu;

9 nō te iwi o Pineamine, ko Parati tama a Rapu;

10 nō te iwi o Hepurona, ko Kariere tama a Hori;

11 nō te iwi o Hōhepa, arā nō te iwi o Mānahi, ko Kari tama a Huhi;

12 nō te iwi o Rāna, ko Amiere tama a Kemari;

13 nō te iwi o Āhera, ko Heturu tama a Mikaere;

14 nō te iwi o Napatari, ko Nahapi tama a Wopohi;

15 nō te iwi o Kara, ko Keuere tama a Maki.

16 Ko ngā ingoa ēnei o ngā tāngata i ungā nei e Mohi hei tūtei mō te whenua. Ā, huaina iho e Mohi a Hohea tama a Nunu ko Hohua.

17 Nā, ka ungā rātou e Mohi hei tūtei mō te whenua o Kanaana, ka mea ia ki a rātou, "Haere atu ki runga nā konei, nā te tonga, ka kake ki te maunga; 18 ka titiro ai i te whenua, he aha rānei; i te iwi anō hoki e noho ana i reira, he kaha rānei, he kahakore rānei, he tokoouou rānei, he tokomaha rānei. 19 He pēhea te whenua e nohoia ana e rātou, he pai rānei, he kino rānei; he pēhea hoki ngā pā e nohoia ana e rātou, he tēneti rānei, he mea taiepa rānei; 20 he pēhea hoki te whenua, he mōmona rānei, he kikokore rānei, he rākau rānei tō reira, kāhore rānei. Kia māia hoki, maua mai anō ētahi o ngā hua o te whenua." Nā, ko taua wā ko te wā o ngā karepe mātāmua.

21 Nā, ko tō rātou haerenga ki runga, tūteia ana e rātou te whenua i te koraha o Hini, ā tae noa ki Rehopo, ki te haerenga atu ki Hāmata. 22 Ā, i haere rātou nā te tonga, ka tae ki Heperona; ā, i reira a Ahimana, a Hehai, a Tāramai, ngā tama a Anaka. (Nā, ko Heperona, ko tōna hanganga, e whitu ngā tau i mua i tō Toana i Īhipa.) 23 Ā, ka tae iho rātou ki te awaawa ki Ehekora, ka tapahia i reira he manga karepe, kotahi te tautau, ka amohia e te tokorua i runga i te tokotoko; i mauria mai anō ētahi pamekaranete, me ētahi piki. 24 Ā, huaina iho taua wāhi ko te raorao o Ehekora, nō te tautau karepe i tapahia e ngā tama a Īharaira i reira.

Te Kōrero o ngā Tūtei

25 Nō te paunga o ngā rā e whā tekau ka hoki mai rātou i te tūtei i te whenua. 26 Nā, haere ana, ā, ka tae ki a Mohi rātou ko Ārona, ko te whakaminenga katoa o ngā tama a Īharaira, ki te koraha o Parana, ki Karehe; ki te whakahoki i te kōrero ki a rātou ko te whakaminenga katoa, ā, whakakitea ana e rātou ngā hua o te whenua ki a rātou. 27 Ā, ka kōrero ki a ia, ka mea, "I tae mātou ki te whenua i ungā nei mātou e koe, nā, he pono e rerengia ana e te waiū, e te honi; ko ōna hua tēnei. 28 Otiia he kaha te iwi e noho ana i taua whenua, he mea taiepa hoki ngā pā, he nunui rawa; i kite anō mātou i ngā tama a Anaka ki reira. 29 E noho ana ngā Amareki i te whenua ki te tonga; ko ngā Hiti, ko ngā Iepuhi, ko ngā Amori, e noho ana i ngā maunga; kei te taha o te moana ngā Kanaani e noho ana, kei te taha anō o Horano."

30 Nā, ka whakamārietia te iwi e Karepe i te aroaro o Mohi, ā, ka mea ia, "Kia hohoro tā tātou haere ki te tango i reira; e taea hoki e tātou."

31 Ko ngā tāngata ia i haere tahi me ia ki runga, i mea, "E kore e āhei i a tātou te haere ki runga, ki taua iwi; he kaha ake hoki rātou i a tātou." 32 Nā, ka kawea e rātou he kōrero kino mō te whenua i tūteia e rātou ki ngā tama a Īharaira, i mea rātou, "Ko taua whenua i haerea rā e mātou, i tūteia, he whenua e ngau ana i ōna tāngata; he tangata nunui rawa hoki te hunga katoa i kitea e mātou ki reira. 33 He nunui rawa hoki ngā tāngata i kitea e mātou ki reira, he tama nā Anaka, he uri nō ngā tāngata roroa; ā, ki tā mātou titiro, me he māwhitiwhiti mātou; he pērā anō mātou ki tā rātou titiro."

1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Send thou men, that they may spy out 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 prince among them. 3 And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. 4 And these were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur. 5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph. 8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun. 9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi. 11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli. 13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael. 14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi. 15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16 These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.

17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country: 18 and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many; 19 and 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; 20 and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is 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.

21 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath. 22 And they went up by the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it upon a staff between two; they brought also of the pomegranates, and of the figs. 24 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.

25 And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days. 26 And 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. 27 And 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. 28 Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. 29 Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.

30 And 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. 31 But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. 32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 And there 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.
