Resansman 14

1 Epi tout kongregasyon an te leve vwa yo pou te rele, e pèp la te kriye nan nwit lan.

And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried, and the people wept that night.

2 Tout fis Israël yo te bougonnen kont Moïse ak Aaron. Tout kongregasyon an te di yo: “Pito ke nou te mouri nan peyi Égypte la! O pito nou te mouri nan dezè sa a!

And all the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron. And the whole congregation said to them, Would that we had died in the land of Egypt, or would that we had died in this wilderness!

3 Poukisa SENYÈ a ap mennen nou nan peyi sa a, pou tonbe anba nepe? Madanm nou yo avèk pitit nou yo va devni piyay. Èske li pa t ap pi bon pou nou pou retounen an Égypte?”

And why does Jehovah bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be a prey. Were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

4 Epi yo te di youn lòt: “Annou chwazi yon chèf, pou retounen an Égypte.”

And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

5 Konsa, Moïse avèk Aaron te tonbe sou figi yo nan prezans a tout asanble kongregasyon a fis Israël yo.

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.

6 Josué, fis a Nun lan avèk Caleb, fis a Jephaunné a, nan sila ki te fè espyonaj nan peyi a, te chire rad yo.

And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.

7 Yo te pale avèk tout kongregasyon a fis Israël yo, e te di: “Peyi ke nou te pase ladann pou fè ankèt la, se yon vrèman bon peyi.

And they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.

8 Si SENYÈ a kontan avèk nou, alò, Li va mennen nou nan peyi sa a pou bannou li—yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl.

If Jehovah delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey.

9 Sèlman, pa fè rebèl kont SENYÈ a; ni pa pè pèp peyi sa a, paske, nou va devore yo. Pwoteksyon yo ale, e SENYÈ a avèk nou. Pa pè yo.”

Only do not rebel against Jehovah, neither fear ye the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Jehovah is with us. Fear them not.

10 Men tout kongregasyon an te kòmanse lapide yo avèk kout wòch. Konsa laglwa SENYÈ a te parèt nan tant asanble a a tout fis Israël yo.

But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting to all the sons of Israel.

11 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Pou konbyen de tan, moun sa yo va desann mwen konsa? Pou konbyen de tan yo va refize kwè nan Mwen, malgre tout sign ke M te fè nan mitan yo?

And Jehovah said to Moses, How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?

12 Mwen va frape yo avèk gwo mizè. Mwen va dizerite yo. Mwen va fè ou menm vin fòme yon nasyon pi gwo e pi fò ke yo.”

I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.

13 Men Moïse te reponn SENYÈ a: “Alò Ejipsyen yo va tande bagay sa a, paske pa pwisans Ou, Ou te mennen fè monte pèp sa a soti nan mitan yo.

And Moses said to Jehovah, Then the Egyptians will hear it, for thou brought up this people in thy might from among them,

14 Konsa, yo va pale sa a sila ki rete nan peyi sila yo. Yo te tande ke Ou menm, O SENYÈ a, rete nan mitan pèp sa a. Paske Ou menm, O SENYÈ a, yo fè wè fasafas, e nwaj Ou kanpe sou yo; epi Ou ale devan yo nan yon pilye nwaj pandan lajounen ak yon pilye dife pandan lannwit la.

and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that thou Jehovah are in the midst of this people, for thou Jehovah are seen face to face, and thy cloud stands over them, and thou go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

15 Alò, si ou touye pèp sa a tankou se yon sèl moun, alò, nasyon ki te tande tout istwa Ou yo, va di:

Now if thou shall kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

16 ‘Akoz SENYÈ a pa t kab mennen pèp sa nan peyi ke Li te pwomèt yo avèk sèman an, pou sa, li te detwi yo nan dezè a.’

Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people into the land which he swore to them, therefore he has slain them in the wilderness.

17 “Men koulye a, mwen priye, pou pwisans a SENYÈ a vin gwo, jis jan ke Ou te deklare a,

And now, I pray thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou have spoken, saying,

18 ‘SENYÈ a lan nan fè kòlè; Li ranpli avèk lanmou dous, ki padone inikite avèk transgresyon yo. Li p ap janm bliye tò a koupab yo, men Li va vizite inikite a papa yo sou pitit yo jis rive nan twazyèm ak katriyèm jenerasyon.’

Jehovah is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.

19 “Padone, mwen priye Ou, inikite a pèp sa a selon grandè lanmou dous Ou a, jis jan ke Ou menm, osi, te padone pèp sa a, depi an Égypte pou jis rive koulye a.”

Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of thy loving kindness, and according as thou have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

20 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen te padone yo, jan ou te mande a;

And Jehovah said, I have pardoned according to thy word,

21 men vrèman, jan Mwen viv la, tout latè va ranpli avèk laglwa SENYÈ a.

but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of Jehovah,

22 Vrèman, tout mesye ki te wè glwa Mwen ak sign Mwen te fè an Égypte ak nan dezè a, malgre sa, yo vin pase Mwen a leprèv pandan menm dis fwa sa yo, e yo pa t koute vwa M.

because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have challenged me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice,

23 Pa gen youn nan yo k ap wè peyi ke M te sèmante a papa yo a, ni p ap gen nan sila ki te rejte M yo, k ap wè l.

surely they shall not see the land which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of them who despised me see it.

24 Men sèvitè Mwen an, Caleb, akoz li te gen yon lòt lespri, e li te swiv Mwen nèt, Mwen va mennen l nan peyi kote li te antre a, e desandan li yo va vin pran posesyon li.

But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and has followed me fully, him will I bring into the land into which he went, and his seed shall possess it.

25 Alò, moun Amalec avèk Canaran yo ap viv nan vale yo. Vire demen pou pati pou dezè a pa chemen Lamè Wouj la.

Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley. Tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.

26 “SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse, e te di:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

27 Pou konbyen de tan, Mwen va sipòte kongregasyon mechan sila k ap bougonnen kont Mwen an? Mwen fenk tande plent ke fis Israël yo ap fè kont Mwen.

How long shall I bear with this evil congregation that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they murmur against me.

28 “Di yo: ‘Jan Mwen vivan an, di SENYÈ a, mwen va fè pou ou tout bagay jan Mwen te tande ou di a.

Say to them, As I live, says Jehovah, surely as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you.

29 Kadav nou yo va tonbe nan dezè sila a, menm tout mesye konte yo, nou tout soti nan ventan oswa plis, ki te bougonnen kont Mwen yo,

Your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness. And all who were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have murmured against me,

30 vrèman, nou p ap antre nan peyi kote Mwen te sèmante pou mete nou an, sof Caleb, fis a Jephunné a ak Jousé, fis a Nun nan.

surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell in it, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

31 Men pitit nou yo, ke nou te di ki ta devni yon objè lachas— Mwen va mennen yo antre ladann. Yo va konnen peyi ke nou menm te rejte a.

But your little ones, that ye said would be a prey, them I will bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.

32 “‘Men pou nou menm, kadav nou va tonbe nan dezè sila a.

But as for you, your dead bodies shall fall in this wilderness.

33 Fis nou yo va vin bèje pandan karantan nan dezè a, e yo va soufri pou enfidelite nou yo jiskaske kadav nou kouche nan dezè a.

And your sons shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your dead bodies be consumed in the wilderness.

34 Selon nonb de jou ke nou te fè ankèt nan peyi a, karant jou, pou chak jou, nou va pote inikite nou yo pandan 1 nan, Ki fè karantan total, e nou va konprann opozisyon Mwen an.’

After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, ye shall bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my alienation.

35 Mwen, SENYÈ a te pale. Se vrèman sa Mwen va fè a tout kongregasyon mechan sila ki rasanble kont Mwen an. Nan dezè sa a, yo va vin detwi, e la yo va mouri.”

I, Jehovah, have spoken, surely I will do this to all this evil congregation that are gathered together against me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

36 Pou mesye ke Moïse te voye pou fè ankèt nan peyi a, e ki te retounen pou fè tout kongregasyon an bougonnen kont Li yo lè yo te vin sòti avèk yon move rapò sou peyi a,

And the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing up an evil report against the land,

37 menm mesye sila yo ki te fè sòti rapò byen move a, yo te vin mouri akoz yon epidemi devan SENYÈ a.

even those men who brought up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before Jehovah.

38 Men Josué, fis Nun nan ak Caleb, fis a Jephaunné a te rete vivan pami sila ki te ale fè espyonaj peyi a.

But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.

39 Lè Moïse te pale pawòl sa yo a tout fis Israël yo, pèp la te leve fè gwo lamantasyon.

And Moses told these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.

40 Sepandan, nan maten, yo te leve bonè, yo te monte vè krèt kolin ki nan peyi kolin yo. Yo te di: “Men nou isit la! Nou te vrèman fè peche, men nou va monte vè kote ke SENYÈ a te pwomèt la.”

And they rose up early in the morning, and got up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are here, and will go up to the place which Jehovah has promised, for we have sinned.

41 Men Moïse te di: “Poukisa nou ap transgrese kòmandman a SENYÈ a, lè sa p ap reyisi?

And Moses said, Why do ye now transgress the commandment of Jehovah, seeing it shall not prosper?

42 Pa monte, oswa nou va frape devan lènmi nou yo, paske SENYÈ a pa pami nou.

Do not go up, for Jehovah is not among you, that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.

43 Paske, moun Amalec yo ak Kananeyen yo va la devan nou, e nou va vin tonbe anba nepe, akoz ke nou te vire an aryè kite SENYÈ a. Konsa, SENYÈ a p ap avèk nou.”

For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword. Because ye have turned back from following Jehovah, therefore Jehovah will not be with you.

44 Men san prekosyon, yo te monte nan krèt peyi kolin nan. Men ni lach temwayaj la, ni Moïse te kite kan an.

But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain, nevertheless the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and Moses, did not depart out of the camp.

45 Alò, moun Amalec yo avèk Kananeyen ki te rete nan peyi kolin yo, te vin desann. Yo te frape yo, e te bat yo jis rive nan Horma.

Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who dwelt in that mountain, and smote them and beat them down, even to Hormah.
