Hesabu 13:25-33

[25]Wakarejea baada ya kuipeleleza nchi, mwisho wa siku arobaini. 

And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.

[26]Wakaenda wakafika kwa Musa, na kwa Haruni, na kwa mkutano wote wa wana wa Israeli, katika jangwa la Parani, huko Kadeshi; wakawaletea habari, wao na mkutano wote, wakawaonyesha matunda ya nchi. 

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 shewed them the fruit of the land.

[27]Wakamwambia wakasema, Tulifika nchi ile uliyotutuma, na hakika yake, ni nchi yenye wingi wa maziwa na asali, na haya ndiyo matunda yake. 

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]Lakini watu wanaokaa katika nchi ile ni hodari, na miji yao ina maboma, nayo ni makubwa sana; na pamoja na hayo tuliwaona wana wa Anaki huko. 

Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.

[29]Amaleki anakaa katika nchi ya Negebu; na Mhiti, na Myebusi, na Mwamori wanakaa katika milima, na Mkanaani anakaa karibu na bahari; na kando ya ukingo wa Yordani. 

The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.

[30]Kalebu akawatuliza watu mbele ya Musa, akasema, Na tupande mara, tukaitamalaki; maana twaweza kushinda bila shaka. 

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]Bali wale watu waliopanda pamoja naye wakasema, Hatuwezi kupanda tupigane na watu hawa; kwa maana wana nguvu kuliko sisi. 

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

[32]Wakawaletea wana wa Israeli habari mbaya ya ile nchi waliyoipeleleza, wakasema, Ile nchi tuliyopita kati yake ili kuipeleleza, ni nchi inayowala watu wanaoikaa; na watu wote tuliowaona ndani yake ni watu warefu mno. 

And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.

[33]Kisha, huko tuliwaona Wanefili, wana wa Anaki, waliotoka kwa hao Wanefili; tukajiona nafsi zetu kuwa kama mapanzi; nao ndivyo walivyotuona sisi. 

And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
