Numbers 13
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 Send thou men, that they may search out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Ye shall send a man of every tribe of his fathers, each a prince among them.
« Tinda bato mpo na kononga mokili ya Kanana oyo nalingi kopesa na bana ya Isalaele. Kati na libota moko na moko, pona mpe tinda moto moko kati na bakambi. »
3 And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran: according to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them heads of the children of Israel.
Na mitindo ya Yawe, Moyize atindaki bango wuta na esobe ya Parani. Bango nyonso bazalaki bakambi ya mabota ya bana ya Isalaele.

16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to search out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua.
Oyo nde bakombo ya bato oyo Moyize atindaki mpo na kononga mokili ya Kanana. Moyize apesaki Oze, mwana mobali ya Nuni, kombo « Jozue. »
17 And Moses sent them to search out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the south and go up into the hill-country,
Tango Moyize atindaki bango mpo na kononga mokili ya Kanana, alobaki: « Bolekela na nzela ya etuka ya Negevi mpe bokotela na nzela ya mokili ya bangomba.
18 and ye shall see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;
Botala soki mokili yango ezali ndenge nini mpe soki bato oyo bavandaka kuna bazalaka makasi to balemba, soki bazalaka ebele to moke.
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;
Botala ndenge nini mokili epai wapi bazali kowumela ezali: soki ezali malamu to mabe; soki bazingela bingumba na yango na bamir to te.
20 and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it, or not. And take courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first grapes.
Botala soki mabele na yango ezali ndenge nini: ebotaka malamu to te; ezali na banzete to te. Bosala nyonso penza ete bozonga na mbuma ya mokili yango. » Ezalaki eleko ya kobuka bambuma ya liboso ya vino.
21 And they went up, and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath.
Boye bakendeki mpe banongaki mokili kobanda na esobe ya Tsini kino na Reobi, pembeni ya Lebo-Amati.
22 And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
Balekaki na nzela ya etuka ya Negevi mpe bakomaki kino na Ebron epai wapi Ayimani, Sheshayi mpe Talimayi, bakitani ya Anaki, bazalaki kovanda. Engumba Ebron etongamaki mibu sambo liboso ya engumba Tsoani kati na Ejipito.
23 And they came as far as the valley of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a pole; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
Tango bakomaki na lubwaku ya Eshikoli, bakataki etape mobimba ya nzete ya vino oyo ezalaki na liboke ya bambuma ya vino. Lokola ezalaki kilo makasi, bato mibale kati na bango basalelaki banzete mpo na komema yango; bamemaki lisusu bambuma ya grenade mpe ya figi.
24 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the grapes which the children of Israel had cut down there.
Wuta na tango wana, bakomaki kobenga esika yango « lubwaku ya Eshikoli, » oyo elingi koloba « lubwaku ya liboke ya bambuma ya vino, » mpo na kokanisa liboke ya bambuma ya vino oyo bana ya Isalaele babukaki kuna.
25 And they returned from searching out the land after forty days.
Sima na mikolo tuku minei, bazongaki wuta na mokili oyo banongaki.
26 And they came, and went to Moses and to Aaron, and to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to the whole assembly; and shewed them the fruit of the land.
Bayaki kokuta Moyize, Aron mpe lisanga mobimba ya bana ya Isalaele na Kadeshi, kati na esobe ya Parani. Ezalaki kuna nde bapesaki bango elongo na lisanga mobimba sango ya mobembo na bango mpe balakisaki bango bambuma ya mokili yango.
27 And they told him, and said, We came to the land to which thou didst send us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
Bapesaki sango oyo epai ya Moyize: « Tokotaki kino na mokili epai wapi otindaki biso. Solo, ezali penza mokili oyo ezali kobimisa miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi; tala kutu bambuma ya mokili yango.
28 Only, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, very great; moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
Kasi bato oyo bavandaka kuna bazali makasi mingi, bingumba na bango etongama makasi mpe ezali minene; tomonaki lisusu bakitani ya Anaki kuna.
29 Amalek dwells in the land of the south; and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.
Bato ya Amaleki bavandaka na etuka ya Negevi; bato ya Iti, ya Yebusi mpe ya Amori bavandaka na mokili ya bangomba, mpe bato ya mboka Kanana bavandaka pembeni ya ebale monene mpe pembeni-pembeni ya Yordani. »
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up boldly and possess it, for we are well able to do it.
Bongo Kalebi apamelaki bato ete batika makelele liboso ya Moyize, mpe alobaki: — Tokende kobotola mokili yango, pamba te tozali solo na makoki mpo na kosala yango!
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.
Kasi bato oyo bakendeki elongo na ye balobaki: — Tokokoka te kobundisa bato wana mpo ete bazali makasi koleka biso.
32 And they brought to the children of Israel an evil report of the land which they had searched out, saying, The land, which we have passed through to search it out, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we have seen in it are men of great stature;
Bongo bakomaki kopanza sango mabe kati na bana ya Isalaele na tina na mboka oyo banongaki, bazalaki koloba: « Mokili oyo tonongaki ezali penza mabele oyo eliaka bavandi na yango; bongo bato nyonso oyo tomonaki kuna bazali bingambe.
33 and there have we seen giants — the sons of Anak are of the giants — and we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so we were also in their sight.
Tomonaki kuna lisusu bato milayi, bakitani ya Anaki, oyo babima na nzela ya bato milayi. Na miso na biso moko, tozalaki komimona lokola mabanki; bango mpe bazalaki komona biso kaka ndenge wana na miso na bango. »
