Numbers 13
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 Send for thee men and let them spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving unto the sons of Israel, —one man each for the tribe of his fathers, shalt thou send, each one 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 So then Moses sent them out of the desert of Paran, at the bidding of Yahweh, —all of them, great men, heads of the sons of Israel, were they.
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 Reuben, Shammua, son of Zaccur;
Tala bakombo na bango: mpo na libota ya Ribeni: Chamuwa, mwana mobali ya Zakuri;
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, son of Hori;
mpo na libota ya Simeoni: Shafati, mwana mobali ya Ori;
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, son of Jephunneh;
mpo na libota ya Yuda: Kalebi, mwana mobali ya Yefune;
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal, son of Joseph;
mpo na libota ya Isakari: Yigali, mwana mobali ya Jozefi;

mpo na libota ya Nefitali: Nakibi, mwana mobali ya Vofisi;
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel, son of Machi.
mpo na libota ya Gadi: Geweli, mwana mobali ya Maki.
16 These, are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, —but Moses called Hoshea son of Nun, 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 So Moses sent them, to spy out the land of Canaan, —and said unto them—Go up, here in the South, Yea ye shall go up 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 shall see the land, what it is, —And the people that dwell thereupon, Whether they are, strong, or weak, 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, wherein they dwell, Whether it is, good, or, bad, —And the cities within which they dwell, 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, fat, or, lean, Whether there is timber therein or is not, Then shall ye pluck up courage and take of the fruit of the land. Now the days, were the days of the first-fruits of 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 up, and spied out the land, —from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the entering in of Hamath.
Boye bakendeki mpe banongaki mokili kobanda na esobe ya Tsini kino na Reobi, pembeni ya Lebo-Amati.
22 Yea they went up in the South and entered as far as Hebron, and there, were Ahiman Sheshai and Talmai descendants of the Anak. Now, Hebron, was built seven years, before Zoan 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 entered as far as the ravine of Eschol, and cut down, from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and bare it on a pole between two, —also 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 Ravine of Eschol ["Cluster-ravine"]—on account of the cluster, which was cut down from thence by the sons of Israel.
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 spying out the land, —at the end of forty days.
Sima na mikolo tuku minei, bazongaki wuta na mokili oyo banongaki.
26 So they took their journey, and came in unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel into the wilderness of Paran, towards Kadesh, —and brought back word—unto them and unto all the assembly, and showed 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 recounted unto him, and said, We entered into the land whither thou didst send us, and surely it doth flow with milk and honey, and, this, is the fruit thereof.
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 Nevertheless surely mighty, are the people that dwell in the land, —and, the cities, walled in, exceeding great, moreover also, the descendants of the Anak, saw we 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, dwelleth in the land of the South; And, the Hittite, and the Jebusite and the Amorite, dwell in the mountain And the Canaanite, dwelleth 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 unto Moses, —and said unto them—Let us go straight up, and possess it, for we shall, surely prevail, against 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 who went up with him said, We cannot go up against the people, —for stronger, are they than we.
Kasi bato oyo bakendeki elongo na ye balobaki: — Tokokoka te kobundisa bato wana mpo ete bazali makasi koleka biso.
32 So they sent forth a rumour of the land which they had spied out, among the sons of Israel, saying, —As touching the land through which we passed to spy it out, it is, land that eateth up them who dwell therein, And all the people that we saw in the midst thereof, were 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, saw we the giants, sons of Anak [descended] of the giants, —And we were in our own eyes, as grass-hoppers, And, so, were we in their eyes.
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. »
