< Numbers 13 >

1 And there the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 Send men to view the land of Chanaan, which I will give to the children of Israel, one of every tribe, of the rulers.
-Ou pral chwazi douz nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo, yonn pou chak branch fanmi. Ou pral voye yo pou y' al wè ki jan peyi Kanaran an ye, peyi m'ap bay moun Izrayèl yo.
3 Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending from the desert of Pharan, principal men, whose names are these:
Dapre lòd Moyiz te resevwa nan men Seyè a, li pran douz gason ki te chèf fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la. Antan li te nan dezè Paran an, li voye yo al rekonèt peyi a.
4 Of the tribe of Ruben, Sammua the son of Zechur.
Men non yo: Pou branch Woubenn lan, se te Chamwa, pitit gason Zakou a.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Saphat the son of Hurl.
Pou branch fanmi Simeyon an, se te Chafa, pitit gason Ori a.
6 Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.
Pou branch fanmi Jida a, se te Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
Pou branch fanmi Isaka a, se te Jigal, pitit gason Jozèf la.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Osee the son of Nun.
Pou branch fanmi Efrayim lan, se te Oze, pitit gason Noun lan.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu.
Pou branch fanmi Benjamen an, se te Palti, pitit gason Rafou a.
10 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Geddiel the son of Sodi.
Pou branch fanmi Zabilon an, se te Gadiyèl, pitit gason Sodi a.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, of the sceptre of Manasses, Gaddi the son of Susi.
Pou branch fanmi Jozèf la, nan branch Manase a, se te Gadi, pitit gason Souzi a.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
Pou branch fanmi Dann lan, se te Amiyèl, pitit gason Jemali a.
13 Of the tribe of Aser, Sthur the son of Michael.
Pou branch fanmi Asè a, se te Setou, pitit gason Mikayèl la.
14 Of the tribe of Nephtali, Nahabi the son of Vapsi.
Pou branch fanmi Neftali a, se te Nakbi, pitit gason Wopsi a.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi.
Pou branch fanmi Gad la, se te Geouyèl, pitit gason Maki a.
16 These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to view the land: and he called Osee the son of Nun, Josue.
Se te non douz mesye Moyiz te voye al rekonèt peyi Kanaran an. Moyiz te chanje non Oze, pitit gason Noun lan, li rele l' Jozye.
17 And Moses sent them to view the land of Chanaan, and said to them: Go you up by the south side. And when you shall come to the mountains,
Lè Moyiz voye yo ale nan peyi Kanaran an, li di yo: -Moute nan peyi a. N'a pase pa Negèv la, n'a pran chemen mòn pou nou.
18 View the land, of what sort it is: and the people that are the inhabitants thereof, whether they be strong or weak: few in number or many:
Ale gade peyi a. Chache konnen ki jan li ye, ki kalite moun ki rete ladan l', konbe yo ye, ak ki fòs yo.
19 The land itself, whether it be good or bad: what manner of cities, walled or without walls:
Chache konnen si tè a se yon bon tè osinon yon move tè, si moun yo rete nan lavil ki gen ranpa pou pwoteje yo osinon nan kan anba tant twal.
20 The ground, fat or barren, woody or without trees. Be of good courage, and bring us of the fruits of the land. Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes are fit to be eaten.
Chache konnen si peyi a rich osinon pòv, si gen anpil pyebwa sou tè a ou si pa genyen. Nou pa bezwen pè anyen. Lè n'ap tounen, pote kèk nan fwi ki donnen laba a. Se te sezon rezen te konmanse ap mi.
21 And when they were gone up, they viewed the land from the desert of Sin, unto Rohob as you enter into Emath.
Se konsa mesye yo moute, y' al chache konnen tout bagay ki gen nan peyi a, depi dezè Zin ki nan sid peyi a rive jouk Reyòb toupre pas Amat la, nan nò.
22 And they went up at the south side, and came to Hebron, where were Achiman and Sisai and Tholmai the sons of Enac. For Hebron was built seven years before Tanis the city of Egypt.
Yo travèse zòn Negèv la, yo rive lavil Ebwon kote moun Ayiman yo, moun Chechayi yo ak moun Talmayi yo rete. Yo tout te fè pati ras moun Anak yo. Ebwon sa a, se yon lavil ki te bati sètan anvan yo te bati lavil Zoan nan peyi Lejip.
23 And going forward as far as the torrent of the cluster of grapes, they cut off a branch with its cluster of grapes, which two men carried upon a lever. They took also of the pomegranates and of the figs of that place:
Yo rive nan ravin Echkòl, yo koupe yon branch rezen ki te gen yon sèl gwo grap rezen nan li. Yo mete l' sou yon gòl pou de moun te ka pote l' sou zepòl yo, si tèlman li te lou. Yo pote grenad ak fig frans tou.
24 Which was called Nehelescol, that is to say, the torrent of the cluster of grapes, because from thence the children of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes.
Yo rele kote sa a Ravin Echkòl, poutèt gwo grap rezen moun pèp Izrayèl yo te koupe la a.
25 And they that went to spy out the land returned after forty days, having gone round all the country,
Apre karant jou, lè yo fin vizite toupatou nan peyi a, yo tounen,
26 And came to Moses and Aaron and to all the assembly of the children of Israel to the desert of Pharan, which is in Cades. And speaking to them and to all the multitude, they shewed them the fruits of the land:
yo vin jwenn Moyiz, Arawon ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo Kadès, nan dezè Paran an. Yo detaye ba yo tou sa yo te wè, yo moutre yo fwi yo te pote yo.
27 And they related and said: We came into the land to which thou sentest us, which in very deed floweth with milk and honey as may be known by these fruits:
Yo di Moyiz konsa: -Nou vizite toupatou nan peyi ou te voye nou al chache konnen an. Se yon peyi ki rich anpil, kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Se vre wi. Gade fwi nou jwenn ladan l'.
28 But it hath very strong inhabitants, and the cities are great and walled. We saw there the race of Enac.
Men, moun ki rete nan peyi a gwonèg anpil. Lavil yo gran, yo byen pwoteje. Sa ki pi rèd nou wè yon kalite ras moun gwonèg bèl wotè.
29 Amalec dwelleth in the south, the Hethite and the Jebusite and the Amorrhite in the mountains: but the Chanaanite abideth by the sea and near the streams of the Jordan.
Moun Amalèk yo rete nan sid peyi a, nan zòn Negèv la. Moun It yo, moun Jebis yo ak moun Amon yo rete nan mòn yo. Moun Kanaran yo rete bò lanmè Mediterane a ak bò larivyè Jouden an.
30 In the mean time Caleb, to still the murmuring of the people that rose against Moses, said: Let us go up and possess the land, for we shall be able to conquer it.
Kalèb fè moun yo sispann bougonnen sou do Moyiz, li di yo konsa: -Ann moute koulye a. Ann al pran peyi a pou nou. Pa gen anyen la a nou pa ka fè!
31 But the others, that had been with him, said: No, we are not able to go up to this people, because they are stronger than we.
Men mesye ki te moute ansanm ak Kalèb yo di konsa: -Non. Nou pa ka al atake moun sa yo. Yo pi fò pase nou.
32 And they spoke ill of the land, which they had viewed, before the children of Israel, saying: The land which we have viewed, devoureth its inhabitants: the people, that we beheld, are of a tall stature.
Se konsa yo pran pale mal sou peyi yo te al vizite a devan pèp Izrayèl la. Yo t'ap di: -Peyi nou ta l' vizite a, peyi nou ta l' chache konnen an, se yon peyi ki pa menm bay kont manje pou moun k'ap viv sou li yo. Epi, tout moun nou wè la se moun ki wo anpil.
33 There we saw certain monsters of the sons of Enac, of the giant kind: in comparison of whom, we seemed like locusts.
Sa ki pi rèd, nou wè yon kalite gwonèg bèl wotè, moun ras Anak yo. Devan moun sa yo se krebete nou ye, tèlman nou piti. Se konsa nou te santi nou devan yo.
