Numbers 14
1 Then all the people gave load cries of grief, and all that night they gave themselves up to weeping.
Lè sa a, pèp la pran rele byen fò, yo pase tout nwit la ap kriye san rete.
2 And all the children of Israel, crying out against Moses and Aaron, said, If only we had come to our death in the land of Egypt, or even in this waste land!
Yo tout t'ap bougonnen sou Moyiz ak Arawon. Yo vin di yo konsa: -Pito nou te mouri nan peyi Lejip osinon nan dezè a!
3 Why is the Lord taking us into this land to come to our death by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will get into strange hands: would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?
Poukisa Seyè a mennen nou nan peyi sa a? Koulye a, yo pral touye nou nan lagè, yo pral pran madanm ak pitit nou yo fè yo tounen esklav. Pa pito nou tounen nan peyi Lejip?
4 And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and go back to Egypt.
Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Ann chwazi yon lòt chèf! Ann tounen nan peyi Lejip!
5 Then Moses and Aaron went down on their faces before the meeting of the people.
Lè Moyiz ak Arawon wè sa, yo tonbe fas atè devan tout pèp la ki te sanble la a.
6 And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, two of those who had been to see the land, giving signs of grief,
Lè sa a, de nan mesye espyon yo, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, chire rad ki te sou yo sitèlman yo te fache.
7 Said to all the children of Israel, This land which we went through to see is a very good land.
Epi yo di pèp la: -Peyi nou te al vizite a se yon bon bon peyi.
8 And if the Lord has delight in us, he will take us into this land and give it to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Si Seyè a vle fè sa pou nou, l'ap fè nou antre nan peyi a, l'ap ban nou li. Se yon peyi ki rich anpil, yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo.
9 Only, do not go against the Lord or go in fear of the people of the land, for they will be our food; their strength has been taken from them and the Lord is with us: have no fear of them.
Sèlman, pa kenbe tèt ak Seyè a! Nou pa bezwen pè moun k'ap viv nan peyi sa a. N'ap manje yo tankou kann. Bondye ki t'ap pwoteje yo a kouri mete deyò. Men Seyè a kanpe la avèk nou. Nou pa bezwen pè yo.
10 But all the people said they were to be stoned. Then the glory of the Lord was seen in the Tent of meeting, before the eyes of all the children of Israel.
Lè sa a, tout pèp la ranmase wòch pou yo kalonnen Jozye ak Kalèb. Men, lamenm pouvwa Bondye a parèt anwo Tant Randevou a, li fè tout pèp la wè l'.
11 And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Kilè pèp sa a va sispann meprize mwen? Kilè y'a soti pou yo fè m' konfyans? Gade tout bèl bagay mwen te fè pou yo. Malgre sa, yo pa vle kwè m' toujou!
12 I will send disease on them for their destruction, and take away their heritage, and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.
M'ap voye yon sèl epidemi sou yo, m'ap touye yo tout. M'ap anpeche yo pran posesyon tè ki pou yo a. Men ou menm, m'ap fè ou tounen yon nasyon k'ap pi gwo, k'ap pi fò pase yo.
13 And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;
Men, Moyiz di Seyè a konsa: -Se ou menm ak fòs ponyèt ou ki te fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip la.
14 And they will give the news to the people of this land: they have had word that you, Lord, are present with this people, letting yourself be seen face to face, and that your cloud is resting over them, and that you go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.
Lè moun pèyi Lejip yo va vin konnen sa ou pral fè pèp la, y'a rakonte l' bay moun ki rete nan peyi Kanaran yo. Yo menm tou, yo deja konnen se ou menm, Seyè, ki kanpe la nan mitan pèp la, se ou menm ki parèt aklè devan je yo, se nwaj ou, Granmèt, ki rete anwo yo. Se ou menm ki t'ap mache devan yo lajounen nan yon gwo nwaj ki te gen fòm yon poto, lannwit nan yon gwo flanm dife ki te gen fòm yon poto tou.
15 Now if you put to death all this people as one man, then the nations who have had word of your glory will say,
Koulye a, si ou rete konsa ou touye tout pèp ou a, moun lòt nasyon yo ki te tande pale ki kalite moun ou ye, yo pral di
16 Because the Lord was not able to take this people into the land which he made an oath to give them, he sent destruction on them in the waste land.
se kapab ou pa t' kapab mennen pèp la nan peyi ou te fè sèman w'ap ba yo a kifè ou touye yo nan dezè a.
17 So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:
Non. Seyè! Se koulye a pou ou fè wè gwo pouvwa ou la, jan ou te pwomèt l' a, lè ou te di:
18 The Lord is slow to wrath and great in mercy, overlooking wrongdoing and evil, and will not let wrongdoers go free; sending punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation.
Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, mwen pa an kòlè fasil, mwen p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. M'ap toujou padonnen sa nou fè ki mal ak sa nou te dwe fè nou pa fè. Men, mwen pa nan kase fèy kouvri sa ak pesonn. Si yon moun fè yon bagay mal, m'ap pini pitit li, pitit pitit li, ak pitit pitit pitit li yo pou sa li fè a, jouk sou twazyèm ak katriyèm jenerasyon.
19 May the sin of this people have forgiveness, in the measure of your great mercy, as you have had mercy on them from Egypt up till now.
Tanpri, jan ou gen bon kè sa a, padonnen sa pèp la fè ki mal la, menm jan ou te pran pasyans ak yo depi yo kite peyi Lejip jouk yo rive isit la.
20 And the Lord said, I have had mercy, as you say:
Seyè a di: -M'ap padonnen yo, jan ou mande m' lan.
21 But truly, as I am living, and as all the earth will be full of the glory of the Lord;
Men, menm jan ou wè mwen vivan an, menm jan ou wè pouvwa mwen toupatou sou latè,
22 Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;
okenn nan moun sa yo p'ap rive viv lontan ase pou yo antre nan peyi a. Yo te wè pouvwa mwen, yo te wè tout bèl bagay mwen te fè nan peyi Lejip ak nan dezè a. Men anpil fwa deja, yo chache wè jouk ki bò mwen ye ak yo, yo pa janm vle koute m' lè m' pale ak yo.
23 They will not see the land about which I made an oath to their fathers; not one of these by whom I have not been honoured will see it.
Yo p'ap menm wè peyi mwen te sèmante mwen t'ap bay zansèt yo a. Yo tout ki vire do ban mwen yo, yo yonn p'ap wè peyi a.
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit in him, and has been true to me with all his heart, him I will take into that land into which he went, and his seed will have it for their heritage.
Men, paske Kalèb, sèvitè m' lan, pa aji tankou yo, li swiv mwen san gad dèyè, m'ap fè l' antre nan peyi li te al rekonèt la. Pitit pitit li yo va pran peyi a pou yo.
25 Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites are in the valley; tomorrow, turning round, go into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea.
Y'a rete nan plenn kote moun Amalèk yo ak moun Kanaran yo rete koulye a. Denmen n'ap fè bak, n'a tounen nan dezè a ankò nan direksyon Lanmè Wouj la.
26 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:
27 How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.
-Kilè bann moun mechan sa yo va sispann bougonnen sou do mwen konsa? Mwen bouke tande jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap pale m' mal.
28 Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, as certainly as your words have come to my ears, so certainly will I do this to you:
Men sa pou ou di yo pou mwen: Se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, ki di sa. Menm jan nou wè m' vivan an, mwen fè sèman sa nou te di k'ap rive nou an, se li k'ap rive nou vre.
29 Your dead bodies will be stretched out in this waste land; and of all your number, all those of twenty years old and over who have been crying out against me,
Y'ap antere kadav nou tout nan dezè a. Nou tout ki t'ap bougonnen sou mwen yo, nou tout yo te konte lè resansman an, nou tout ki gen ventan ak sa ki pi gran yo, nou yonn p'ap antre nan peyi a.
30 Not one will come into the land which I gave my word you would have for your resting-place, but only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.
Dakò! Mwen te fè sèman mwen t'ap fè nou al rete nan peyi a. Men, nou yonn p'ap gen chans lan, esepte Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, ak Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan.
31 And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.
Nou te di pitit pitit nou yo pral tonbe anba men lènmi nou yo. Men, se yo menm m'ap fè antre nan peyi nou menm nou refize al pran an.
32 But as for you, your dead bodies will be stretched in this waste land.
Men, nou menm y'ap antere kadav nou yo isit nan dezè a.
33 And your children will be wanderers in the waste land for forty years, undergoing punishment for your false ways, till your bodies become dust in the waste land.
Pitit nou yo pral moute desann nan tout dezè a. Pandan karant lanne, y'a peye pou vire nou te vire do ban mwen an, jouk nou tout nèt n'a fin mouri nan dezè a.
34 And as you went through the land viewing it for forty days, so for forty years, a year for every day, you will undergo punishment for your wrongdoing, and you will see that I am against you.
Nou menm, n'a peye konsekans peche nou an pandan karant lanne, yon lanne pou chak jou nan karant jou nou te pase ap vizite peyi a. Lè sa a, n'a konnen sa sa vle di lè m' vire do bay moun.
35 I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.
Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa: Mwen fè sèman se konsa mwen pral aji ak bann moun sa yo ki mete tèt yo ansanm sou do m'. Yo tout gen pou yo disparèt nan dezè sa a. Wi, se la menm yo tout ap mouri.
36 And the men whom Moses sent to see the land, and who, by the bad account they gave of the land, were the cause of the outcry the people made against Moses,
Mesye Moyiz te voye al rekonèt peyi a te fè tout pèp la ap bougonnen sou Moyiz avèk move rapò yo te fè sou peyi a, lè yo te tounen an.
37 Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.
Se konsa yon sèl maladi tonbe sou mesye sa yo ki te pale peyi a mal konsa. Yo tonbe, yo mouri frèt devan Seyè a.
38 But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, of those who went to see the land, were not touched by disease.
Nan douz mesye ki te al vizite peyi a, se de sèlman ki pa t' mouri: se te Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a.
39 And when Moses put these words before the children of Israel, the people were full of grief.
Lè Moyiz di moun pèp Izrayèl yo tout pawòl sa yo, sa te fè yo lapenn anpil.
40 And early in the morning they got up and went to the top of the mountain, saying, We are here and we will go up to the place which the Lord said he would give us: for we have done wrong.
Nan denmen maten, byen bònè, yo leve pou y' al janbe lòt bò mòn yo pou yo antre nan peyi a. Yo t'ap di: -Men nou! Nou pare pou n' ale kote Seyè a di pou n' ale a. Nou rekonèt sa nou te fè a mal.
41 And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?
Men Moyiz di yo: -Pouki pou n'ap dezobeyi lòd Seyè a ankò? Sa p'ap mache pou nou non, fwa sa a!
42 Go not up, for the Lord is not with you, and you will be overcome by those who are fighting against you.
Piga nou moute. Seyè a vire do ban nou, nou pa bezwen ale fè lènmi nou yo bat nou pou gremesi.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will be put to death by their swords: because you have gone back from the way of the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.
Lè n'a rive devan moun Amalèk yo ak moun Kanaran yo, nou pral mouri nan batay la. Seyè a p'ap kanpe la avèk nou, paske nou te vire do ba li.
44 But they gave no attention to his words and went to the top of the mountain, though Moses and the ark of the Lord's agreement did not go out of the tent-circle.
Pèp la fè tèt di, yo moute moute yo sou mòn yo pou yo seye antre nan peyi a. Men, ni Bwat Kontra Seyè a, ni Moyiz pa deplase kote yo te ye nan kan an.
45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who were living in the hill-country, and overcame them completely, driving them back as far as Hormah.
Se konsa moun Amalèk yo ak moun Kanaran yo ki te rete nan mòn yo desann, yo bat yo, yo kouri dèyè yo jouk yon kote yo rele Oma.
