Resansman 13
1 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And 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 thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler 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.
And Moses, by the commandment of the LORD, sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men [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;
And these [were] their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.

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 whom Moses sent to explore the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
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.
And Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go ye up this [way] southward, and ascend the mountain:
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.
And see the land, what it [is]; and the people that dwell therein, whether they [are] strong or weak, 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 tents, or in strong holds;
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 barren, whether there is wood in it, 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, 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 searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to 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.)
And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (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.
And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the 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.
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 Yo te sòti retounen nan espyonaj peyi a, nan fen karant jou yo.
And they returned from exploring the land after 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.
And they went and came to Moses, and 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, and 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.
And they told him, and said, We came to the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.
28 “Sepandan, pèp ki rete la yo, gen fòs, vil yo byen fòtifye, byen gwo. Anplis, nou te wè desandan Anak yo la.
Nevertheless, the people [are] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and 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.”
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of 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.”
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us 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 that 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.
And they brought an evil report of the land which they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, The land through which we have passed to search it, [is] a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it, [are] men of a 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.”
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [who come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
