Resansman 13
1 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Voye mesye ki kapab fè espyonaj nan peyi Canaran ke Mwen va bay fis Israël yo. Ou va voye yon nonm sòti nan chak tribi zansèt a papa pa yo, youn nan chèf pami yo.
“Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them.”
3 Konsa, Moïse te voye yo soti nan dezè Paran an selon kòmand a SENYÈ a. Yo tout te chèf a fis Israël yo.
Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD. All of them were men who were heads of the children of Israel.
4 Sa yo, alò, se te non yo: soti nan tribi Ruben an, Schammua, fis a Zaccur a;
These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

15 pou tribi a Gad la: Guéuel, fis a Maki a.

16 Sa yo, se non a mesye ke Moïse te voye pou fè espyonaj peyi a. Men Moïse te rele Hosée, fis a Nun nan, Josué.
These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
17 Lè Moïse te voye yo espyone peyi Canaan an, li te di yo: “Monte nan negev la; epi monte toujou nan peyi ti kolin yo.
Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country.
18 Kontwole pou wè kijan peyi a ye, si pèp ki rete ladann nan, gen fòs, oswa si yo fèb, e si yo gen anpil, oswa pa anpil moun.
See the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
19 Kijan tè kote yo viv la ye, kit li bon, oswa pa bon? Epi kijan vil kote yo viv la ye, èske se kan san pwotèj, oswa avèk fò?
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 Kijan tè a ye? Èske li rich, oswa pòv? Si gen pyebwa oswa si pa genyen? Epi fè yon efò pou pran kèk nan fwi peyi a.” Alò, se te tan ke premye rezen yo t ap vin mi.
and what the land is, whether it is fertile or poor, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.
21 Se konsa, yo te monte pou te fè espyonaj sou peyi a soti nan dezè a Tsin nan, jis pou rive Rehob, nan chemen Hamath (Lebo-Hamath) lan.
So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
22 Lè yo te fin monte Negev, yo te rive Hébron kote Ahiman, Schéschaï ak Talmaï, desandan a Anak yo te ye a. (Alò, Hébron te bati sèt ane avan Tsoan an Égypte.)
They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 Yo te rive nan vale Eschcol e soti la, yo te koupe yon sèl branch avèk yon sèl grap rezen; epi yo te pote li sou yon poto antre de gason avèk kèk grenad ak pye fig frans.
They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
24 Kote sa a te vin rele vale a Eschcol, akoz gwo grap rezen ke fis Israël la te koupe fè desann soti la yo.
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
25 Yo te sòti retounen nan espyonaj peyi a, nan fen karant jou yo.
They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
26 Yo te vini vè Moïse avèk Aaron ak tout kongregasyon a fis Israël yo nan dezè Paran an, vè Kadès; epi yo te pote nouvèl la pou di a tout kongregasyon an, e pou te montre yo fwi peyi a.
They went and came to Moses, to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them and to all the congregation. They showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Konsa, yo te pale li. Yo te di: “Nou te antre nan peyi kote nou te voye nou an. Vrèman, li koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl, e sa a se fwi li.
They told him, and said, “We came to the land where you sent us. Surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
28 “Sepandan, pèp ki rete la yo, gen fòs, vil yo byen fòtifye, byen gwo. Anplis, nou te wè desandan Anak yo la.
However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.
29 Desandan a Amalèk yo ap viv nan peyi Negev la, Etyen yo, Jebisyen yo, Amoreyen yo ap viv nan mòn yo, e Kananeyen yo ap viv bò kote lanmè ak bò kote rivyè Jourdain an.”
Amalek dwells in the land of the South. The Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country. The Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along the side of the Jordan.”
30 Men Caleb te kalme pèp la devan Moïse e te di: “Sètènman, nou dwe monte pran posesyon a peyi a, paske nou va, anverite, konkeri li.”
Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let’s go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it!”
31 Men mesye ki te monte avè l yo te di: “Nou pa kapab monte kont pèp la, paske yo twò fò pou nou.”
But the men who went up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.”
32 Konsa, yo te livre yon move rapò a fis Israël yo sou peyi kote yo te fè ankèt la. Yo te di: “Peyi kote nou te ale a, nan ankèt sa a, se yon peyi ki devore moun li ye, e tout pèp ke nou te wè ladann yo, se moun ki byen gran.
They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 La, osi, nou te wè jeyan, fis a Anak yo ki soti nan jeyan yo. Konsa, nou te vin tankou krikèt nan pwòp zye nou ak nan zye pa yo.”
There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim. We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
