Resansman 13
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And there, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 -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.
“Send men, who may examine the land of Canaan, which I will give to the sons of Israel, one from the rulers of each tribe.”
3 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.
Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending, from the desert of Paran, leading men, whose names are these:
4 Men non yo: Pou branch Woubenn lan, se te Chamwa, pitit gason Zakou a.
from the tribe of Ruben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
5 Pou branch fanmi Simeyon an, se te Chafa, pitit gason Ori a.
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
6 Pou branch fanmi Jida a, se te Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a.
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
7 Pou branch fanmi Isaka a, se te Jigal, pitit gason Jozèf la.
from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
8 Pou branch fanmi Efrayim lan, se te Oze, pitit gason Noun lan.
from the tribe of Ephraim, Hosea the son of Nun;
9 Pou branch fanmi Benjamen an, se te Palti, pitit gason Rafou a.
from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
10 Pou branch fanmi Zabilon an, se te Gadiyèl, pitit gason Sodi a.
from the tribe of Zebulon, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
11 Pou branch fanmi Jozèf la, nan branch Manase a, se te Gadi, pitit gason Souzi a.
from the tribe of Joseph, of the scepter of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
12 Pou branch fanmi Dann lan, se te Amiyèl, pitit gason Jemali a.
from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
13 Pou branch fanmi Asè a, se te Setou, pitit gason Mikayèl la.
from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
14 Pou branch fanmi Neftali a, se te Nakbi, pitit gason Wopsi a.
from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
15 Pou branch fanmi Gad la, se te Geouyèl, pitit gason Maki a.
from the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi.
16 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.
These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to examine the land. And he called Hosea, the son of Nun, Joshua.
17 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.
And so, Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan, and he said to them: “Ascend by the south side. And when you arrive at the mountains,
18 Ale gade peyi a. Chache konnen ki jan li ye, ki kalite moun ki rete ladan l', konbe yo ye, ak ki fòs yo.
consider the land, as to what kind it may be, and the people, who are its inhabitants, whether they may be strong or weak, whether they may be few in number or many,
19 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.
and the land itself, whether it is good or bad, what kind of cities, walled or without walls,
20 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.
the soil, rich or barren, forested or without trees. Be strong, and bring us some of the fruits of the land.” Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes were ready to be eaten.
21 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.
And when they had ascended, they explored the land from the desert of Sin, all the way to Rehob, as one enters into Hamath.
22 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.
And they ascended by the south side. And they arrived at Hebron, where there were Ahiman and Shishai and Talmai, the sons of Anak. For Hebron was founded seven years before Tanis, the city of Egypt.
23 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.
And continuing on as far as the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, they cut off a vine with its grapes, which two men carried on a board. Likewise, they took from the pomegranates and the figs of that place,
24 Yo rele kote sa a Ravin Echkòl, poutèt gwo grap rezen moun pèp Izrayèl yo te koupe la a.
which was called Nehel Eshcol, that is, the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, because the sons of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes from there.
25 Apre karant jou, lè yo fin vizite toupatou nan peyi a, yo tounen,
And those exploring the land returned after forty days, having circulated through the entire region.
26 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.
And they went to Moses and Aaron, and to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel in the desert of Paran, which is in Kadesh. And speaking to them, and to the entire multitude, they showed them the fruits of the land.
27 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'.
And they explained, saying: “We went into the land, to which you sent us, which, it is true, flows with milk and honey, as one can know by these fruits.
28 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.
But it has very strong occupants, and the cities are great and also walled. We saw the race of Anak there.
29 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.
Amalek lives in the south. The Hethite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite live in the mountains. And truly, the Canaanite stays near the sea and around the streams of the Jordan.”
30 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!
During these events, Caleb, to restrain the murmuring of the people who rose up against Moses, said, “Let us ascend and possess the land, for we will be able to obtain it.”
31 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.
Yet truly, the others, who had been with him, were saying, “By no means are we able to ascend to this people, because they are stronger than we are.”
32 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.
And before the sons of Israel they disparaged the land, which they had inspected, saying: “The land, which we viewed, devours its inhabitants. The people, upon whom we gazed, were of lofty stature.
33 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.
There, we saw some monsters among the sons of Anak, of the race of giants; by comparison with them, we seemed like locusts.”
