< Numbers 14 >

1 All the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
Lè sa a, pèp la pran rele byen fò, yo pase tout nwit la ap kriye san rete.
2 All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt, or that we had died in this wilderness!
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 does the LORD bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to return into 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 They said to one another, “Let’s choose a leader, and let’s return into Egypt.”
Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Ann chwazi yon lòt chèf! Ann tounen nan peyi Lejip!
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
Lè Moyiz ak Arawon wè sa, yo tonbe fas atè devan tout pèp la ki te sanble la a.
6 Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.
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 spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.
Epi yo di pèp la: -Peyi nou te al vizite a se yon bon bon peyi.
8 If the LORD delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us: a land which flows with milk and honey.
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 Only don’t rebel against the LORD, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us. Don’t fear 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 But all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. The LORD’s glory appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children of Israel.
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 The LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? How long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked among them?
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 I will strike them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”
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 Moses said to the LORD, “Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your might from among them.
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 They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you LORD are among this people; for you LORD are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
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 Now if you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you will speak, saying,
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 ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.’
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 Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you have spoken, saying,
Non. Seyè! Se koulye a pou ou fè wè gwo pouvwa ou la, jan ou te pwomèt l' a, lè ou te di:
18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’
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 Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and just as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”
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 The LORD said, “I have pardoned according to your word;
Seyè a di: -M'ap padonnen yo, jan ou mande m' lan.
21 but in very deed—as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the LORD’s glory—
Men, menm jan ou wè mwen vivan an, menm jan ou wè pouvwa mwen toupatou sou latè,
22 because all those men who have seen my glory and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;
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 surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who despised me see it.
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 my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring shall possess 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 Since the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn and go into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf.”
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 The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:
27 “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation that complain against me? I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel, which they complain 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 Tell them, ‘As I live, says the LORD, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so I will do to you.
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 Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness; and all who were counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have complained against me,
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 surely you shall not come into the land concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
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 But I will bring in your little ones that you said should be captured or killed, and they shall know the land which you have rejected.
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, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.
Men, nou menm y'ap antere kadav nou yo isit nan dezè a.
33 Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.
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 After the number of the days in which you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will know my alienation.’
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 I, the LORD, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.”
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 The men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land,
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 even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
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 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
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 Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.
Lè Moyiz di moun pèp Izrayèl yo tout pawòl sa yo, sa te fè yo lapenn anpil.
40 They rose up early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which the LORD has promised; for we have sinned.”
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 Moses said, “Why now do you disobey the commandment of the LORD, since it shall not prosper?
Men Moyiz di yo: -Pouki pou n'ap dezobeyi lòd Seyè a ankò? Sa p'ap mache pou nou non, fwa sa a!
42 Don’t go up, for the LORD isn’t among you; that way you won’t be struck down before your enemies.
Piga nou moute. Seyè a vire do ban nou, nou pa bezwen ale fè lènmi nou yo bat nou pou gremesi.
43 For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and you will fall by the sword because you turned back from following the LORD; therefore the LORD will not be with you.”
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 they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain. Nevertheless, the ark of the LORD’s covenant and Moses didn’t depart out of the camp.
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 Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down even to 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.
