Numbers 14
1 Then all the people gave load cries of grief, and all that night they gave themselves up to weeping.
Epi tout kongregasyon an te leve vwa yo pou te rele, e pèp la te kriye nan nwit lan.
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!
Tout fis Israël yo te bougonnen kont Moïse ak Aaron. Tout kongregasyon an te di yo: “Pito ke nou te mouri nan peyi Égypte la! O pito nou te mouri nan dezè sa 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 SENYÈ a ap mennen nou nan peyi sa a, pou tonbe anba nepe? Madanm nou yo avèk pitit nou yo va devni piyay. Èske li pa t ap pi bon pou nou pou retounen an Égypte?”
4 And they said to one another, Let us make a captain over us, and go back to Egypt.
Epi yo te di youn lòt: “Annou chwazi yon chèf, pou retounen an Égypte.”
5 Then Moses and Aaron went down on their faces before the meeting of the people.
Konsa, Moïse avèk Aaron te tonbe sou figi yo nan prezans a tout asanble kongregasyon a fis Israël yo.
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,
Josué, fis a Nun lan avèk Caleb, fis a Jephaunné a, nan sila ki te fè espyonaj nan peyi a, te chire rad yo.
7 Said to all the children of Israel, This land which we went through to see is a very good land.
Yo te pale avèk tout kongregasyon a fis Israël yo, e te di: “Peyi ke nou te pase ladann pou fè ankèt la, se yon vrèman 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 SENYÈ a kontan avèk nou, alò, Li va mennen nou nan peyi sa a pou bannou li—yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl.
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 fè rebèl kont SENYÈ a; ni pa pè pèp peyi sa a, paske, nou va devore yo. Pwoteksyon yo ale, e SENYÈ a avèk nou. Pa 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.
Men tout kongregasyon an te kòmanse lapide yo avèk kout wòch. Konsa laglwa SENYÈ a te parèt nan tant asanble a a tout fis Israël yo.
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?
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pou konbyen de tan, moun sa yo va desann mwen konsa? Pou konbyen de tan yo va refize kwè nan Mwen, malgre tout sign ke M te fè nan mitan yo?
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.
Mwen va frape yo avèk gwo mizè. Mwen va dizerite yo. Mwen va fè ou menm vin fòme yon nasyon pi gwo e pi fò ke 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 Moïse te reponn SENYÈ a: “Alò Ejipsyen yo va tande bagay sa a, paske pa pwisans Ou, Ou te mennen fè monte pèp sa a soti nan mitan yo.
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.
Konsa, yo va pale sa a sila ki rete nan peyi sila yo. Yo te tande ke Ou menm, O SENYÈ a, rete nan mitan pèp sa a. Paske Ou menm, O SENYÈ a, yo fè wè fasafas, e nwaj Ou kanpe sou yo; epi Ou ale devan yo nan yon pilye nwaj pandan lajounen ak yon pilye dife pandan lannwit la.
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,
Alò, si ou touye pèp sa a tankou se yon sèl moun, alò, nasyon ki te tande tout istwa Ou yo, va 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.
‘Akoz SENYÈ a pa t kab mennen pèp sa nan peyi ke Li te pwomèt yo avèk sèman an, pou sa, li te detwi 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:
“Men koulye a, mwen priye, pou pwisans a SENYÈ a vin gwo, jis jan ke Ou te deklare a,
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.
‘SENYÈ a lan nan fè kòlè; Li ranpli avèk lanmou dous, ki padone inikite avèk transgresyon yo. Li p ap janm bliye tò a koupab yo, men Li va vizite inikite a papa yo sou pitit yo jis rive nan 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.
“Padone, mwen priye Ou, inikite a pèp sa a selon grandè lanmou dous Ou a, jis jan ke Ou menm, osi, te padone pèp sa a, depi an Égypte pou jis rive koulye a.”
20 And the Lord said, I have had mercy, as you say:
Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen te padone yo, jan ou te mande a;
21 But truly, as I am living, and as all the earth will be full of the glory of the Lord;
men vrèman, jan Mwen viv la, tout latè va ranpli avèk laglwa SENYÈ a.
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;
Vrèman, tout mesye ki te wè glwa Mwen ak sign Mwen te fè an Égypte ak nan dezè a, malgre sa, yo vin pase Mwen a leprèv pandan menm dis fwa sa yo, e yo pa t koute vwa M.
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.
Pa gen youn nan yo k ap wè peyi ke M te sèmante a papa yo a, ni p ap gen nan sila ki te rejte M yo, k ap wè l.
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 sèvitè Mwen an, Caleb, akoz li te gen yon lòt lespri, e li te swiv Mwen nèt, Mwen va mennen l nan peyi kote li te antre a, e desandan li yo va vin pran posesyon li.
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.
Alò, moun Amalec avèk Canaran yo ap viv nan vale yo. Vire demen pou pati pou dezè a pa chemen Lamè Wouj la.
26 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
“SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse, e te di:
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.
Pou konbyen de tan, Mwen va sipòte kongregasyon mechan sila k ap bougonnen kont Mwen an? Mwen fenk tande plent ke fis Israël yo ap fè kont Mwen.
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:
“Di yo: ‘Jan Mwen vivan an, di SENYÈ a, mwen va fè pou ou tout bagay jan Mwen te tande ou di a.
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,
Kadav nou yo va tonbe nan dezè sila a, menm tout mesye konte yo, nou tout soti nan ventan oswa plis, ki te bougonnen kont Mwen yo,
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.
vrèman, nou p ap antre nan peyi kote Mwen te sèmante pou mete nou an, sof Caleb, fis a Jephunné a ak Jousé, fis a Nun nan.
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.
Men pitit nou yo, ke nou te di ki ta devni yon objè lachas— Mwen va mennen yo antre ladann. Yo va konnen peyi ke nou menm te rejte a.
32 But as for you, your dead bodies will be stretched in this waste land.
“‘Men pou nou menm, kadav nou va tonbe nan dezè sila 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.
Fis nou yo va vin bèje pandan karantan nan dezè a, e yo va soufri pou enfidelite nou yo jiskaske kadav nou kouche 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.
Selon nonb de jou ke nou te fè ankèt nan peyi a, karant jou, pou chak jou, nou va pote inikite nou yo pandan 1 nan, Ki fè karantan total, e nou va konprann opozisyon Mwen an.’
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.
Mwen, SENYÈ a te pale. Se vrèman sa Mwen va fè a tout kongregasyon mechan sila ki rasanble kont Mwen an. Nan dezè sa a, yo va vin detwi, e la yo va 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,
Pou mesye ke Moïse te voye pou fè ankèt nan peyi a, e ki te retounen pou fè tout kongregasyon an bougonnen kont Li yo lè yo te vin sòti avèk yon move rapò sou peyi a,
37 Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.
menm mesye sila yo ki te fè sòti rapò byen move a, yo te vin mouri akoz yon epidemi devan SENYÈ 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.
Men Josué, fis Nun nan ak Caleb, fis a Jephaunné a te rete vivan pami sila ki te ale fè espyonaj peyi a.
39 And when Moses put these words before the children of Israel, the people were full of grief.
Lè Moïse te pale pawòl sa yo a tout fis Israël yo, pèp la te leve fè gwo lamantasyon.
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.
Sepandan, nan maten, yo te leve bonè, yo te monte vè krèt kolin ki nan peyi kolin yo. Yo te di: “Men nou isit la! Nou te vrèman fè peche, men nou va monte vè kote ke SENYÈ a te pwomèt la.”
41 And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?
Men Moïse te di: “Poukisa nou ap transgrese kòmandman a SENYÈ a, lè sa p ap reyisi?
42 Go not up, for the Lord is not with you, and you will be overcome by those who are fighting against you.
Pa monte, oswa nou va frape devan lènmi nou yo, paske SENYÈ a pa pami nou.
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.
Paske, moun Amalec yo ak Kananeyen yo va la devan nou, e nou va vin tonbe anba nepe, akoz ke nou te vire an aryè kite SENYÈ a. Konsa, SENYÈ a p ap avèk nou.”
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.
Men san prekosyon, yo te monte nan krèt peyi kolin nan. Men ni lach temwayaj la, ni Moïse te kite 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.
Alò, moun Amalec yo avèk Kananeyen ki te rete nan peyi kolin yo, te vin desann. Yo te frape yo, e te bat yo jis rive nan Horma.
