Numbers 14
1 That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly.
Lè sa a, pèp la pran rele byen fò, yo pase tout nwit la ap kriye san rete.
2 The next day they all complained to Aaron and Moses/me. All the men said, “We wish that we had died in Egypt, or in this desert!
Yo tout t'ap bougonnen sou Moyiz ak Arawon. Yo vin di yo konsa: -Pito nou te mouri nan peyi Lejip osinon nan dezè a!
3 Why is Yahweh bringing us to this land, where we men will be killed with swords? And our wives and children will be taken away [to be slaves]. [Instead of going to Canaan]. It would be better for us to return to Egypt!”
Poukisa Seyè a mennen nou nan peyi sa a? Koulye a, yo pral touye nou nan lagè, yo pral pran madanm ak pitit nou yo fè yo tounen esklav. Pa pito nou tounen nan peyi Lejip?
4 Then [some of] them said to each other, “We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!”
Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Ann chwazi yon lòt chèf! Ann tounen nan peyi Lejip!
5 Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down [to pray] in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there.
Lè Moyiz ak Arawon wè sa, yo tonbe fas atè devan tout pèp la ki te sanble la a.
6 Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes [because they were very dismayed].
Lè sa a, de nan mesye espyon yo, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, chire rad ki te sou yo sitèlman yo te fache.
7 They said to the Israeli people, “The land that we explored is very good.
Epi yo di pèp la: -Peyi nou te al vizite a se yon bon bon peyi.
8 If Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, and he will give it to us.
Si Seyè a vle fè sa pou nou, l'ap fè nou antre nan peyi a, l'ap ban nou li. Se yon peyi ki rich anpil, yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo.
9 So do not rebel against Yahweh! And do not be afraid of the people in that land! We will (gobble them up/completely destroy them) [MET]! They do not have anyone who will protect them, but Yahweh will be with us [and help us]. So do not be afraid of them!”
Sèlman, pa kenbe tèt ak Seyè a! Nou pa bezwen pè moun k'ap viv nan peyi sa a. N'ap manje yo tankou kann. Bondye ki t'ap pwoteje yo a kouri mete deyò. Men Seyè a kanpe la avèk nou. Nou pa bezwen pè yo.
10 Then all the Israeli people talked about [killing Caleb and Joshua by] throwing stones at them. But [suddenly] Yahweh’s glory appeared to them at the Sacred Tent.
Lè sa a, tout pèp la ranmase wòch pou yo kalonnen Jozye ak Kalèb. Men, lamenm pouvwa Bondye a parèt anwo Tant Randevou a, li fè tout pèp la wè l'.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “How long will these people reject me [RHQ]? I am tired of them not believing in what I [can do], in spite of all the miracles I have performed among them [RHQ]!
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Kilè pèp sa a va sispann meprize mwen? Kilè y'a soti pou yo fè m' konfyans? Gade tout bèl bagay mwen te fè pou yo. Malgre sa, yo pa vle kwè m' toujou!
12 So I will cause a (plague/widespread sickness) to strike them and get rid of them. But I will cause your [descendants] to become a great nation. They will be a nation that is much greater and stronger than these people are.”
M'ap voye yon sèl epidemi sou yo, m'ap touye yo tout. M'ap anpeche yo pran posesyon tè ki pou yo a. Men ou menm, m'ap fè ou tounen yon nasyon k'ap pi gwo, k'ap pi fò pase yo.
13 But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “[Please do not do that, because] the people of Egypt will hear about it! You brought these Israeli people from Egypt by your great power,
Men, Moyiz di Seyè a konsa: -Se ou menm ak fòs ponyèt ou ki te fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip la.
14 and the people of Egypt will tell that to the [descendants of Canaan] who live in this land. Yahweh, they have already heard about you. They know that you have (been with/helped) these people and that they have seen you face-to-face. They have heard that your cloud is like a huge pillar that stays over them, and by using that cloud you lead them during the day, and the cloud becomes like a fire at night [to give them light].
Lè moun pèyi Lejip yo va vin konnen sa ou pral fè pèp la, y'a rakonte l' bay moun ki rete nan peyi Kanaran yo. Yo menm tou, yo deja konnen se ou menm, Seyè, ki kanpe la nan mitan pèp la, se ou menm ki parèt aklè devan je yo, se nwaj ou, Granmèt, ki rete anwo yo. Se ou menm ki t'ap mache devan yo lajounen nan yon gwo nwaj ki te gen fòm yon poto, lannwit nan yon gwo flanm dife ki te gen fòm yon poto tou.
15 If you kill these people all at one time, the people-groups who have heard about your [power] will say,
Koulye a, si ou rete konsa ou touye tout pèp ou a, moun lòt nasyon yo ki te tande pale ki kalite moun ou ye, yo pral di
16 ‘Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land that he promised to give to them, so he killed them in the desert.’
se kapab ou pa t' kapab mennen pèp la nan peyi ou te fè sèman w'ap ba yo a kifè ou touye yo nan dezè a.
17 “So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,
Non. Seyè! Se koulye a pou ou fè wè gwo pouvwa ou la, jan ou te pwomèt l' a, lè ou te di:
18 ‘I do not quickly become angry; instead, I love people very much, and I forgive people for having sinned and having disobeyed my laws. But I will always punish [LIT] people who are guilty of doing what is wrong. When parents sin, I will punish them, but I will also punish their children and their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren and their great-great-grandchildren.’
Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, mwen pa an kòlè fasil, mwen p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. M'ap toujou padonnen sa nou fè ki mal ak sa nou te dwe fè nou pa fè. Men, mwen pa nan kase fèy kouvri sa ak pesonn. Si yon moun fè yon bagay mal, m'ap pini pitit li, pitit pitit li, ak pitit pitit pitit li yo pou sa li fè a, jouk sou twazyèm ak katriyèm jenerasyon.
19 So, because you love people like that, forgive these people for the sins that they have committed, just like you have continued to forgive them ever since they left Egypt.”
Tanpri, jan ou gen bon kè sa a, padonnen sa pèp la fè ki mal la, menm jan ou te pran pasyans ak yo depi yo kite peyi Lejip jouk yo rive isit la.
20 Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.
Seyè a di: -M'ap padonnen yo, jan ou mande m' lan.
21 But, just as certainly as I live and that people all over the world [can see] my (glory/glorious power), [I solemnly declare this: ]
Men, menm jan ou wè mwen vivan an, menm jan ou wè pouvwa mwen toupatou sou latè,
22 All these people saw my glory and all the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me, and many times they tested [whether they could continue to do evil things without my punishing them].
okenn nan moun sa yo p'ap rive viv lontan ase pou yo antre nan peyi a. Yo te wè pouvwa mwen, yo te wè tout bèl bagay mwen te fè nan peyi Lejip ak nan dezè a. Men anpil fwa deja, yo chache wè jouk ki bò mwen ye ak yo, yo pa janm vle koute m' lè m' pale ak yo.
23 Because of that, not one of them will see the land that I promised their ancestors [that I would give to them]. No one who rejected me will see that land.
Yo p'ap menm wè peyi mwen te sèmante mwen t'ap bay zansèt yo a. Yo tout ki vire do ban mwen yo, yo yonn p'ap wè peyi a.
24 But Caleb, who serves me [well], is different from the others. He obeys me completely. So I will bring him into that land that he has already seen, and his descendants will inherit/possess some of it.
Men, paske Kalèb, sèvitè m' lan, pa aji tankou yo, li swiv mwen san gad dèyè, m'ap fè l' antre nan peyi li te al rekonèt la. Pitit pitit li yo va pran peyi a pou yo.
25 So, since the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who are living in the valleys [in Canaan are very strong], when you leave here tomorrow, [instead of traveling toward Canaan], go back along the road through the desert towards the Red Sea.”
Y'a rete nan plenn kote moun Amalèk yo ak moun Kanaran yo rete koulye a. Denmen n'ap fè bak, n'a tounen nan dezè a ankò nan direksyon Lanmè Wouj la.
26 Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:
27 “How long will the wicked people of this nation keep complaining about me [RHQ]? I have heard everything that they have grumbled/complained against me.
-Kilè bann moun mechan sa yo va sispann bougonnen sou do mwen konsa? Mwen bouke tande jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap pale m' mal.
28 So now tell them this: ‘Just as certainly as I, Yahweh, live, I will do exactly what you said would happen.
Men sa pou ou di yo pou mwen: Se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, ki di sa. Menm jan nou wè m' vivan an, mwen fè sèman sa nou te di k'ap rive nou an, se li k'ap rive nou vre.
29 [I will cause] all of you to die here in this desert! Because you grumbled about me, none of you who are more than 20 years old and who were counted when Moses counted everyone
Y'ap antere kadav nou tout nan dezè a. Nou tout ki t'ap bougonnen sou mwen yo, nou tout yo te konte lè resansman an, nou tout ki gen ventan ak sa ki pi gran yo, nou yonn p'ap antre nan peyi a.
30 will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give to you. Only Caleb and Joshua will enter that land.
Dakò! Mwen te fè sèman mwen t'ap fè nou al rete nan peyi a. Men, nou yonn p'ap gen chans lan, esepte Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, ak Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan.
31 You said that your children would be taken from you [to become slaves], but I will take them into the land, and they will enjoy living in the land that you (rejected/said that you could not conquer).
Nou te di pitit pitit nou yo pral tonbe anba men lènmi nou yo. Men, se yo menm m'ap fè antre nan peyi nou menm nou refize al pran an.
32 But as for you [adults], you will die here in this desert.
Men, nou menm y'ap antere kadav nou yo isit nan dezè a.
33 And like shepherds [wander around in the desert as they take care of their sheep], your children will wander around in this desert for 40 years. Because you adults were not loyal/faithful to me, your children will suffer until you all die in the desert.
Pitit nou yo pral moute desann nan tout dezè a. Pandan karant lanne, y'a peye pou vire nou te vire do ban mwen an, jouk nou tout nèt n'a fin mouri nan dezè a.
34 You will suffer for your sins for 40 years. That will be one year for each of the 40 days that the twelve men explored Canaan land. And I will be like an enemy to you.’
Nou menm, n'a peye konsekans peche nou an pandan karant lanne, yon lanne pou chak jou nan karant jou nou te pase ap vizite peyi a. Lè sa a, n'a konnen sa sa vle di lè m' vire do bay moun.
35 [This will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it! I will do these things to every one in this group who conspired against me. They (conspired against/decided together to reject) me here in the desert, and they will all die right here in this desert!”
Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa: Mwen fè sèman se konsa mwen pral aji ak bann moun sa yo ki mete tèt yo ansanm sou do m'. Yo tout gen pou yo disparèt nan dezè sa a. Wi, se la menm yo tout ap mouri.
36 Then the ten men [who had explored Canaan and] who had urged the people to rebel against Yahweh by giving reports that discouraged the people
Mesye Moyiz te voye al rekonèt peyi a te fè tout pèp la ap bougonnen sou Moyiz avèk move rapò yo te fè sou peyi a, lè yo te tounen an.
37 were immediately struck with a plague/disease that Yahweh sent, and they died.
Se konsa yon sèl maladi tonbe sou mesye sa yo ki te pale peyi a mal konsa. Yo tonbe, yo mouri frèt devan Seyè a.
38 Of the twelve men who had explored Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb remained alive.
Nan douz mesye ki te al vizite peyi a, se de sèlman ki pa t' mouri: se te Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a.
39 When Moses/I reported to the Israeli people what Yahweh had said, many of them were very sad.
Lè Moyiz di moun pèp Izrayèl yo tout pawòl sa yo, sa te fè yo lapenn anpil.
40 So the people got up early the next morning and started to go toward the hilly area in Canaan. They said, “[We know that] we have sinned, but now we [are ready to] enter the land that Yahweh promised to give to us.”
Nan denmen maten, byen bònè, yo leve pou y' al janbe lòt bò mòn yo pou yo antre nan peyi a. Yo t'ap di: -Men nou! Nou pare pou n' ale kote Seyè a di pou n' ale a. Nou rekonèt sa nou te fè a mal.
41 But Moses/I said, “Yahweh commanded you [to return to the desert, so] why are you now disobeying him [RHQ]? It will not (succeed/be possible).
Men Moyiz di yo: -Pouki pou n'ap dezobeyi lòd Seyè a ankò? Sa p'ap mache pou nou non, fwa sa a!
42 Do not try to enter the land now! [If you try], your enemies will defeat you, because Yahweh will not (be with/help) you.
Piga nou moute. Seyè a vire do ban nou, nou pa bezwen ale fè lènmi nou yo bat nou pou gremesi.
43 When you begin to fight the descendants of Amalek and Canaan, they will slaughter you! Yahweh will abandon you, because you have abandoned him.”
Lè n'a rive devan moun Amalèk yo ak moun Kanaran yo, nou pral mouri nan batay la. Seyè a p'ap kanpe la avèk nou, paske nou te vire do ba li.
44 But even though Moses/I did not leave the camp, and the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments was not taken from the camp, the people began to go towards the hilly area in Canaan.
Pèp la fè tèt di, yo moute moute yo sou mòn yo pou yo seye antre nan peyi a. Men, ni Bwat Kontra Seyè a, ni Moyiz pa deplase kote yo te ye nan kan an.
45 Then the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who lived in that hilly area came down and attacked them and chased them as far [south] as [the town of] Hormah.
Se konsa moun Amalèk yo ak moun Kanaran yo ki te rete nan mòn yo desann, yo bat yo, yo kouri dèyè yo jouk yon kote yo rele Oma.
