Resansman 14
1 Epi tout kongregasyon an te leve vwa yo pou te rele, e pèp la te kriye nan nwit lan.
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!
All the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron. The whole congregation said to them, “We wish that we had died in the land of Egypt, or 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?”
Why does Yahweh bring us to this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will be captured or killed! Wouldn’t it be better for us to return into Egypt?”
4 Epi yo te di youn lòt: “Annou chwazi yon chèf, pou retounen an Égypte.”
They said to one another, “Let’s choose a leader, and let’s 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 children 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 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.
They spoke to all the congregation of the children 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 Yahweh 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 don’t rebel against Yahweh, neither fear the people of the land; for they are bread for us. Their defense is removed from over them, and Yahweh is with us. Don’t fear 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 all the congregation threatened to stone them with stones. Yahweh’s glory appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the children 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?
Yahweh said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? How long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have worked 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 the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of you 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.
Moses said to Yahweh, “Then the Egyptians will hear it; for you brought up this people in your 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.
They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are among this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you 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 you killed this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of you 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 Yahweh 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,
Now please let the power of the Lord be great, according as you 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.’
‘Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on 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.”
Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and just as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”
20 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen te padone yo, jan ou te mande a;
Yahweh said, “I have pardoned according to your 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 Yahweh’s glory—
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 worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened 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 those 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 I will bring into the land into which he went. His offspring 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.
Since the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley, tomorrow turn and go into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”
26 “SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse, e te di:
Yahweh 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 complain against me? I have heard the complaints of the children of Israel, which they complain 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.
Tell them, ‘As I live, says Yahweh, surely as you have spoken in my ears, so I will 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 counted of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, who have complained 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 you shall not come into the land concerning which I swore that I would make you dwell therein, 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 I will bring in your little ones that you said should be captured or killed, and they shall know the land which you 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.
Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are 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 you spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, you will bear your iniquities, even forty years, and you will 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, Yahweh, have spoken. I will surely do this to all this evil congregation who 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,
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 Yahweh.
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.
Moses told these words to all the children 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.”
They rose up early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Behold, we are here, and will go up to the place which Yahweh has promised; for we have sinned.”
41 Men Moïse te di: “Poukisa nou ap transgrese kòmandman a SENYÈ a, lè sa p ap reyisi?
Moses said, “Why now do you disobey the commandment of Yahweh, since it shall not prosper?
42 Pa monte, oswa nou va frape devan lènmi nou yo, paske SENYÈ a pa pami nou.
Don’t go up, for Yahweh isn’t among you; that way you won’t be struck 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 you will fall by the sword because you turned back from following Yahweh; therefore Yahweh 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 Yahweh’s covenant and Moses didn’t 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 lived in that mountain, and struck them and beat them down even to Hormah.
