Numbers 13
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 Send for you men, and let them spy the land of the Chananites, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession; one man for a tribe, you shall send them away according to their families, every one of them a prince.
« 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 out of the wilderness of Pharan by the word of the Lord; all these [were] the princes of the sons 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 And these [are] their names: of the tribe of Ruben, Samuel the son of Zachur.
Tala bakombo na bango: mpo na libota ya Ribeni: Chamuwa, mwana mobali ya Zakuri;
5 Of the tribe of Symeon, Saphat the son of Suri.

16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Ause the son of Naue, Joshua.
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 spy out the land of Chanaan, and said to them, Go up by this wilderness; and you shall go up to the mountain,
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 you shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or [whether] they are 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 on which they dwell, [whether] it is good or bad; and what the cities are wherein these dwell, whether they dwell in walled [cities] or unwalled.
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 rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and you shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days [were] the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.
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 surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.
Boye bakendeki mpe banongaki mokili kobanda na esobe ya Tsini kino na Reobi, pembeni ya Lebo-Amati.
22 And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there [was] Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of 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 to the valley of the cluster and surveyed it; and they cut down thence a bough and one cluster of grapes upon it, and bore it on staves, and [they took] of the pomegranates and 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 And they called that place, The valley of the cluster, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from 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 And they returned from thence, having surveyed the land, after forty days.
Sima na mikolo tuku minei, bazongaki wuta na mokili oyo banongaki.
26 And they proceeded and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Pharan Cades; and they brought word to them and to all the congregation, and they showed 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 reported to him, and said, We came into the land into which you sent us, a land flowing 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 nation that dwells upon it is bold, and they have very great and strong walled towns, and we saw there the children of Enach.
Kasi bato oyo bavandaka kuna bazali makasi mingi, bingumba na bango etongama makasi mpe ezali minene; tomonaki lisusu bakitani ya Anaki kuna.
29 And Amalec dwells in the land toward the south: and the Chettite and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwells in the hill country: and the Chananite dwells by the sea, and by the river 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 Chaleb stayed the people from speaking before Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them.
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 together with him said, We will not go up, for we shall not by any means be able to go up against the nation, for it is much 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 a horror of that land which they surveyed upon the children of Israel, saying, The land which we passed by to survey it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of extraordinary 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 we saw the giants; and we were before them as locusts, yes even so were we before them.
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. »
