1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
And the LORD spoke unto 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 thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel; of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a prince among them.'
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.
And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD; all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
4 Men non yo: Pou branch Woubenn lan, se te Chamwa, pitit gason Zakou a.
And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
5 Pou branch fanmi Simeyon an, se te Chafa, pitit gason Ori a.
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
6 Pou branch fanmi Jida a, se te Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a.
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
7 Pou branch fanmi Isaka a, se te Jigal, pitit gason Jozèf la.
Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
8 Pou branch fanmi Efrayim lan, se te Oze, pitit gason Noun lan.
Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.
9 Pou branch fanmi Benjamen an, se te Palti, pitit gason Rafou a.
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
10 Pou branch fanmi Zabilon an, se te Gadiyèl, pitit gason Sodi a.
Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
11 Pou branch fanmi Jozèf la, nan branch Manase a, se te Gadi, pitit gason Souzi a.
Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12 Pou branch fanmi Dann lan, se te Amiyèl, pitit gason Jemali a.

13 Pou branch fanmi Asè a, se te Setou, pitit gason Mikayèl la.

14 Pou branch fanmi Neftali a, se te Nakbi, pitit gason Wopsi a.
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
15 Pou branch fanmi Gad la, se te Geouyèl, pitit gason Maki a.
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel 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 that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea 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 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them: 'Get you up here into the South, and go up into 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.
and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few 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 what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;
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.
and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land.' — Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes. —
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.
So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, at the entrance to 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 went up into the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. — Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in 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 they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a pole between two; they took also of the pomegranates, and of the figs. —
24 Yo rele kote sa a Ravin Echkòl, poutèt gwo grap rezen moun pèp Izrayèl yo te koupe la a.
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence. —
25 Apre karant jou, lè yo fin vizite toupatou nan peyi a, yo tounen,
And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
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 and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them the fruit 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 told him, and said: 'We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
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.
Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are fierce, and the cities are fortified, and very great; and moreover we saw the children 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 dwelleth in the land of the South; and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side 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!
And Caleb stilled the people toward Moses, and said: 'We should go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome 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.
But the men that went up with him said: 'We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.'
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 they spread an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying: 'The land, through which we have passed to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great 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.
And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.'
