Resansman 13
1 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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 some men to examine the land of Canaan, which I have given to the people of Israel. Send a man from every tribe of their ancestors. Each man must be a leader 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, so that they might obey Yahweh's command. All of them were leaders among the people of Israel.
4 Sa yo, alò, se te non yo: soti nan tribi Ruben an, Schammua, fis a Zaccur a;
These were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
5 soti nan tribi a Siméon an: Schaphath, fis a Hori a;
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
6 pou tribi a Juda a: Caleb, fis a Jephaunné a;
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
7 pou tribi a Issacar a: Jigual, fis a Joseph la;
from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
8 pou tribi a Ephraïm nan: Hosée, fis a Nun nan
from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
9 pou tribi a Benjamin an: Palthi, fis a Raphu a;
from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
10 pou tribi a Zabulon an: Gaddiel, fis a Sodi a;
from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
11 pou tribi a Joseph la, tribi a Manassé a: Gaddi, fis a Sisi a;
from the tribe of Joseph (that is to say, from the tribe Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
12 pou tribi a Dan nan: Ammiel, fis a Guemalli a;
from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
13 pou tribi a Hacer a: Sethur, fis a Micaël la;
from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
14 pou tribi a Nephtali a: Nachbi, fis a Vophsi a;
from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
15 pou tribi a Gad la: Guéuel, fis a Maki a.
from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.
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 were the names of the men whom Moses sent to examine the land. Moses called Hoshea son of Nun by the name of 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 examine the land of Canaan. He said to them, “Approach from the Negev 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.
Examine the land to see what it is like. Observe the people who live there, whether they are strong or weak, and 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?
See what the land is like where they live. Is it good or bad? What cities are there? Are they like camps, or are they fortified cities?
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.
See what the land is like, whether it is good for growing crops or not, and whether there are trees there or not. Be brave and bring back samples of the land's produce.” Now the time was the season for 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 the men went up and examined the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo 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 from the Negev and arrived at Hebron. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, clans descended from Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been 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.
When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut down a branch with a cluster of grapes. They carried it on a staff between two of their group. They also brought 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 named the Valley of Eshkol, because of the grape cluster that the people of Israel cut down there.
25 Yo te sòti retounen nan espyonaj peyi a, nan fen karant jou yo.
After forty days, they returned from examining the land.
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 came back to Moses, Aaron, and all the community of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the community, and showed them the produce from 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 Moses, “We reached the land to which you sent us. It certainly flows with milk and honey. Here is some produce from it.
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 make their homes there are strong. The cities are fortified and very large. We also saw descendants 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.”
The Amalekites live in the Negev. The Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites have their homes in the hill country. The Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan River.”
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.”
Then Caleb silenced the people who were before Moses and said, “Let us go up and take possession of the land, for we are certainly able to conquer 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 other men who had gone with him said, “We are not able to attack the people because they are stronger than we are.”
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.
So they spread around a discouraging report to the people of Israel about the land that they had examined. They said, “The land that we looked at is a land that eats up its inhabitants. All the people whom we saw there are people of great height.
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 giants, descendants of Anak, people who came from giants. In our own sight we were like grasshoppers in comparison with them, and this is what we were in their sight, too.”
