Resansman 14

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

Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.

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!

All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only 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?”

Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”

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

So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to 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 facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation 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.

Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had 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 said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored 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 the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.

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 the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”

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 the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.

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 the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed 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 strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”

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.

But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people 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 already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and 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:

If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,

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 the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’

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

So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:

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.’

‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and 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, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”

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

“I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.

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

“Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,

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.

not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—

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.

not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will 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 because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit 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 since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”

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

Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

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 will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making 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.

So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.

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 bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled 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 none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua 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 I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.

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

As for you, however, your bodies will 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.

Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies 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.’

In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience 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, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will 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,

So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about 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.

those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.

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

Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.

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

And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.

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.”

Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”

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

But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!

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

Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.

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 Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He 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 dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from 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 and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
