Basaasiddii Reer Kancaan

13 Markaasaa Rabbigu Muuse la hadlay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War waxaad dirtaa niman soo basaasa dalka reer Kancaan oo aan reer binu Israa'iil siinayo, oo qabiil walba waa inaad nin ka dirtaan, oo mid kastaaba ha ahaado amiir iyaga ku jira. Markaasaa Muuse iyagii ka diray cidladii Faaraan sidii amarkii Rabbigu ahaa, oo kulligood waxay ahaayeen rag reer binu Israa'iil madax u ahaa. Oo magacyadoodiina kuwan bay ahaayeen: qabiilkii reer Ruubeen waxaa ka tegey Shammuuca ina Sakuur. Oo qabiilkii reer Simecoonna Shaafaad ina Xori. Oo qabiilkii reer Yahuudahna Kaaleeb ina Yefunneh. Oo qabiilkii reer Isaakaarna Yigaal ina Yuusuf. Oo qabiilka reer Efrayimna Hoosheeca ina Nuun. Oo qabiilkii reer Benyaamiinna Faltii ina Raafuu. 10 Oo qabiilkii reer Sebulunna Gaddii'eel ina Soodii. 11 Oo qabiilkii reer Yuusuf oo ah reer Manasehna Gaddii ina Suusii. 12 Oo qabiilkii reer Daanna Cammii'eel ina Gemallii. 13 Oo qabiilkii reer Aasheerna Setuur ina Miikaa'eel. 14 Oo qabiilkii reer Naftaalina Naxbii ina Waafsii. 15 Oo qabiilkii reer Gaadna Ge'uu'eel ina Maakii. 16 Intaasu waa magacyadii nimankii Muuse u diray inay dalka soo basaasaan. Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Hoosheeca ina Nuun u bixiyey Yashuuca. 17 Markaasaa Muuse iyagii u diray inay dalkii reer Kancaan soo basaasaan, oo wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Jidkan koonfureed xaggiisa u kaca oo buuraha fuula. 18 Oo waxaad soo fiirisaan dalku siduu yahay, iyo dadka degganu inay xoog badan yihiin iyo inay itaal yar yihiin, iyo inay tiro yar yihiin iyo inay tiro badan yihiin, 19 iyo dalka ay deggan yihiin siduu yahay inuu wanaagsan yahay iyo inuu xun yahay, iyo magaalooyinka ay deggan yihiin siday yihiin, inay xerooyin deggan yihiin iyo inay qalcado xoog badan ku jiraan, 20 iyo siduu dalku yahay inuu barwaaqaysan yahay iyo in kale, iyo inuu dhir leeyahay iyo in kale. Haddaba dhiirranaada oo dalka midhihiisa keena. Oo wakhtiguna wuxuu ahaa xilliga uu canabka hore bislaado. 21 Haddaba iyagii way tageen oo waxay soo basaaseen dalkii tan iyo cidlada Sin iyo ilaa Rexob oo ku taal meesha Xamaad laga galo. 22 Oo waxay tageen xagga koonfureed, oo yimaadeen Xebroon; oo Axiiman iyo Sheeshay iyo Talmay oo reer Canaaq ahaa ayaa halkaas degganaa. (Oo Xebroon waxaa la dhisay goor toddoba sannadood ka horraysa intaan la dhisin Socan oo Masar ku taal.) 23 Oo haddana waxay yimaadeen dooxadii Eshkol, oo halkaasay ka goosteen laan rucub canab ahu ku yaal, oo waxay ku qaadeen ul laba nin u dhexaysa, waxayna keeneen midho rummaan iyo berde ah. 24 Oo meeshaas magaceeda waxaa la odhan jiray Eshkol, rucubkii canabka ahaa oo ay reer binu Israa'iil halkaas ka goosteen aawadiis. 25 Oo markay afartan maalmood dalkii soo basaaseen dabadeed ayay ka soo noqdeen.

Warbixintii Basaasiinta

26 Markaasay tageen oo Muuse iyo Haaruun iyo shirkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ugu yimaadeen cidladii Faaraan iyo tan iyo Qaadeesh, oo iyagii iyo ururkii oo dhan war bay u keeneen, oo waxay soo tuseen midhihii dalka. 27 Oo Muuse bay u warrameen oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu dalkii aad noo dirtay waan gaadhnay, oo hubaal wuxuu la barwaaqaysan yahay caano iyo malab, oo midhihiisiina waa kuwan. 28 Habase yeeshee dadka dalka degganu waa xoog badan yihiin, oo magaalooyinkuna deyrar bay leeyihiin, waana waaweyn yihiin, oo weliba waxaannu halkaas ku soo aragnay reer Canaaq. 29 Oo reer Camaaleq waxay deggan yihiin dalka xaggiisa koonfureed, oo reer Xeed iyo reer Yebuus iyo reer Amorna waxay deggan yihiin buuraha, oo reer Kancaanna waxay deggan yihiin badda agteeda iyo Webi Urdun dhinaciisa. 30 Markaasaa Kaaleeb dadkii ku aamusiiyey Muuse hortiisa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War haddiiba ina keena, aynu dalka qabsannee, waayo, innagu waynu karaynaa inaynu ka adkaanno. 31 Laakiinse nimankii isaga raacay waxay yidhaahdeen, War innagu dadkaas kuma kici karno, waayo, way inaga xoog badan yihiin. 32 Oo iyagu dalkii ay soo basaaseen ayay reer binu Israa'iil war xun uga keeneen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Dalka aannu dhex marnay oo soo basaasnay waa dal cuna dadka deggan, oo dadkii aannu ku aragnay oo dhammuna waa dad aad u dhaadheer. 33 Oo waxaannu halkaas ku aragnay dad waaweyn oo xoog badan oo ah reer Canaaq oo ka yimid dadkii waaweynaa oo xoogga badnaa. Waxaannu isula yaraannay sida kabajaan oo kale, oo hortoodana sidaas oo kalaannu ku ahayn.

Exploring Canaan

13 The Lord said to Moses, “Send some men to explore(A) the land of Canaan,(B) which I am giving to the Israelites.(C) From each ancestral tribe(D) send one of its leaders.”

So at the Lord’s command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites.(E) These are their names:

from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zakkur;

from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;

from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;(F)

from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;

from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;(G)

from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;

10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;

11 from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;

12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;

13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;

14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;

15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.

16 These are the names of the men Moses sent to explore(H) the land. (Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun(I) the name Joshua.)(J)

17 When Moses sent them to explore Canaan,(K) he said, “Go up through the Negev(L) and on into the hill country.(M) 18 See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many. 19 What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified? 20 How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land.(N)” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)(O)

21 So they went up and explored the land from the Desert of Zin(P) as far as Rehob,(Q) toward Lebo Hamath.(R) 22 They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron,(S) where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai,(T) the descendants of Anak,(U) lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)(V) 23 When they reached the Valley of Eshkol,[a](W) they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates(X) and figs.(Y) 24 That place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there. 25 At the end of forty days(Z) they returned from exploring the land.(AA)

Report on the Exploration

26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh(AB) in the Desert of Paran.(AC) There they reported to them(AD) and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.(AE) 27 They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey!(AF) Here is its fruit.(AG) 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large.(AH) We even saw descendants of Anak(AI) there.(AJ) 29 The Amalekites(AK) live in the Negev; the Hittites,(AL) Jebusites(AM) and Amorites(AN) live in the hill country;(AO) and the Canaanites(AP) live near the sea and along the Jordan.(AQ)

30 Then Caleb(AR) silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”

31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”(AS) 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report(AT) about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours(AU) those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.(AV) 33 We saw the Nephilim(AW) there (the descendants of Anak(AX) come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers(AY) in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
