Numbers 13
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
2 'Send for thee men, and they spy the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man, one man for the tribe of his fathers ye do send, every 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 And Moses sendeth them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of Jehovah; all of them [are] men, heads of the sons of Israel they are,
Na mitindo ya Yawe, Moyize atindaki bango wuta na esobe ya Parani. Bango nyonso bazalaki bakambi ya mabota ya bana ya Isalaele.

16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land; and Moses calleth Hoshea son of Nun, Jehoshua.
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 sendeth them to spy the land of Canaan, and saith unto them, 'Go ye up this [way] into the south, and ye have gone 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 have seen the land what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble; whether it [is] 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] in which it is dwelling, whether it [is] good or bad; and what [are] the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses;
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 it [is] fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and ye have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land;' and the days [are] 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 And they go up and spy the land, from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
Boye bakendeki mpe banongaki mokili kobanda na esobe ya Tsini kino na Reobi, pembeni ya Lebo-Amati.
22 and they go up by the south, and come in unto Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in 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 come in unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch and one cluster of grapes, and they bear it on a staff by two, also [some] 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 hath [one] called Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut 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 turn back from spying the land at the end of forty days.
Sima na mikolo tuku minei, bazongaki wuta na mokili oyo banongaki.
26 And they go and come in unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company of the sons of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the company back word, and shew 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 recount to him, and say, 'We came in unto the land whither thou hast sent us, and also it [is] flowing with milk and honey — and this [is] its fruit;
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, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fenced, very great; and also children of Anak we have seen 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 is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite is dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling 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 stilleth the people concerning Moses, and saith, 'Let us certainly go up — and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able for 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 And the men who have gone up with him said, 'We are not able to go up against the people, for it [is] 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 bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied unto the sons of Israel, saying, 'The land into which we passed over to spy it, is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of 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 Nephilim, sons of Anak, of the Nephilim; and we are in our own eyes as grasshoppers; and so we were 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. »
