Numbers 13
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 Sende thou men out to search the lande of Canaan which I giue vnto the children of Israel: of euery tribe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, such as are all rulers 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 Then Moses sent them out of the wildernesse of Paran at the commandement of the Lord: all those men were heades 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.
4 Also their names are these: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the sonne of Zaccur:
Tala bakombo na bango: mpo na libota ya Ribeni: Chamuwa, mwana mobali ya Zakuri;
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the sonne of Hori:
mpo na libota ya Simeoni: Shafati, mwana mobali ya Ori;
6 Of the tribe of Iudah, Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh:
mpo na libota ya Yuda: Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune;
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the sonne of Ioseph:
mpo na libota ya Isakari: Yigali, mwana mobali ya Jozefi;
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the sone of Nun:
mpo na libota ya Efrayimi: Oze, mwana mobali ya Nuni;
9 Of the tribe of Beniamin, Palti the sonne of Raphu:

12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the sonne of Gemalli:

13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the sonne of Michael:
mpo na libota ya Aseri: Seturi, mwana mobali ya Mikaeli;
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the sonne of Vophsi:
mpo na libota ya Nefitali: Nakibi, mwana mobali ya Vofisi;
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the sonne of Machi.
mpo na libota ya Gadi: Geweli, mwana mobali ya Maki.
16 These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spie out the lande: and Moses called ye name of Oshea the sonne of Nun, Iehoshua.
Oyo nde bakombo ya bato oyo Moyize atindaki mpo na kononga mokili ya Kanana. Moyize apesaki Oze, mwana mobali ya Nuni, kombo « Jozue. »
17 So Moses sent them to spie out the lande of Canaan, and said vnto them, Go vp this way toward the South, and go vp into the moutaines,
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 consider the land what it is, and the people that dwel therein, whether they be strong or weake, either fewe 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 Also what the lande is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad: and what cities they be, that they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents, or in walled townes:
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 be fat or leane, whether there be trees therein, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruite of the lande (for then was the time of the first ripe 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 So they went vp, and searched out the lande, from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, to go to Hamath,
Boye bakendeki mpe banongaki mokili kobanda na esobe ya Tsini kino na Reobi, pembeni ya Lebo-Amati.
22 And they ascended toward the South, and came vnto Hebron, where were Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the sonnes of Anak. And Hebron was built seuen yeere 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 Then they came to the riuer of Eshcol, and cut downe thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it vpon a barre betweene two, and brought of the pomegranates and of the figges.
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 riuer Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes, which the children of Israel cut downe thence.
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 Then after fourtie dayes, they turned againe from searching of the land.
Sima na mikolo tuku minei, bazongaki wuta na mokili oyo banongaki.
26 And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron and vnto al the Congregation of the children of Israel, in the wildernesse of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought to the, and to all the Congregation tydings, and shewed them the fruite of the lande.
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 tolde him, and saide, We came vnto the land whither thou hast sent vs, and surely it floweth with milke and honie: and here is of the fruite 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 Neuerthelesse the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and exceeding great: and moreouer, we sawe the sonnes 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 The Amalekites dwell in the South countrey, and the Hittites, and the Iebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountaines, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Iorden.
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 Then Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and saide, Let vs go vp at once, and possesse it: for vndoubtedly we shall ouercome 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 vp with him, saide, we be not able to goe vp against the people: for they are stronger then we.
Kasi bato oyo bakendeki elongo na ye balobaki: — Tokokoka te kobundisa bato wana mpo ete bazali makasi koleka biso.
32 So they brought vp an euill report of the land which they had searched for the children of Israel, saying, The lande which we haue gone through to search it out, is a land that eateth vp the inhabitants thereof: for all the people that we sawe 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 For there we sawe gyants, the sonnes of Anak, which come of the gyants, so that we seemed in our sight like grashoppers: and so wee were 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. »
