Numbers 13
1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
2 "Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them."
-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 sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of YHWH: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
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 These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zakkur.
Men non yo: Pou branch Woubenn lan, se te Chamwa, pitit gason Zakou a.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
Pou branch fanmi Simeyon an, se te Chafa, pitit gason Ori a.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
Pou branch fanmi Jida a, se te Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a.

15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Maki.
Pou branch fanmi Gad la, se te Geouyèl, pitit gason Maki a.
16 These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
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 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way by the Negev, and go up into the hill country:
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 and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few 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 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;
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 and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood in it, or not. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes."
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 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to Lebo Hamath.
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 They went up by the Negev, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in 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 They came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes on it, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
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 That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
Yo rele kote sa a Ravin Echkòl, poutèt gwo grap rezen moun pèp Izrayèl yo te koupe la a.
25 They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Apre karant jou, lè yo fin vizite toupatou nan peyi a, yo tounen,
26 They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit 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 They told him, and said, "We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.
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 However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there.
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 Amalek dwells in the land of the Negev: and the Hethites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side 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 Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome 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 men who went up with him said, "We aren't able to go up against the people; for 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 They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great 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 the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
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.
