Numbers 14
1 And so, crying out, the entire crowd wept throughout that night.
Lè sa a, pèp la pran rele byen fò, yo pase tout nwit la ap kriye san rete.
2 And all the sons of Israel were murmuring against Moses and Aaron, saying:
Yo tout t'ap bougonnen sou Moyiz ak Arawon. Yo vin di yo konsa: -Pito nou te mouri nan peyi Lejip osinon nan dezè a!
3 “If only we had died in Egypt,” and, “If only we would perish in this vast wilderness,” and, “May the Lord not lead us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives, as well as our children, be led away as captives. Is it not better to return to Egypt?”
Poukisa Seyè a mennen nou nan peyi sa a? Koulye a, yo pral touye nou nan lagè, yo pral pran madanm ak pitit nou yo fè yo tounen esklav. Pa pito nou tounen nan peyi Lejip?
4 And they said to one another, “Let us appoint our leader, and so return to Egypt.”
Yonn t'ap di lòt: -Ann chwazi yon lòt chèf! Ann tounen nan peyi Lejip!
5 And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell prone on the ground in the sight of the multitude of the sons of Israel.
Lè Moyiz ak Arawon wè sa, yo tonbe fas atè devan tout pèp la ki te sanble la a.
6 Yet truly, Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who themselves had also viewed the land, tore their garments,
Lè sa a, de nan mesye espyon yo, Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, chire rad ki te sou yo sitèlman yo te fache.
7 and they said to the entire multitude of the sons of Israel: “The land that we circled through is very good.
Epi yo di pèp la: -Peyi nou te al vizite a se yon bon bon peyi.
8 If the Lord will be gracious to us, he will lead us into it, and he will give us the land flowing with milk and honey.
Si Seyè a vle fè sa pou nou, l'ap fè nou antre nan peyi a, l'ap ban nou li. Se yon peyi ki rich anpil, yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo.
9 Do not choose to be rebellious against the Lord. And do not fear the people of this land, for, like bread, so are we able to devour them. All protection has withdrawn from them. The Lord is with us. Do not be afraid.”
Sèlman, pa kenbe tèt ak Seyè a! Nou pa bezwen pè moun k'ap viv nan peyi sa a. N'ap manje yo tankou kann. Bondye ki t'ap pwoteje yo a kouri mete deyò. Men Seyè a kanpe la avèk nou. Nou pa bezwen pè yo.
10 And when the entire multitude cried out, and they wanted to crush them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared, over the roof of the covenant, to all the sons of Israel.
Lè sa a, tout pèp la ranmase wòch pou yo kalonnen Jozye ak Kalèb. Men, lamenm pouvwa Bondye a parèt anwo Tant Randevou a, li fè tout pèp la wè l'.
11 And the Lord said to Moses: “How long will this people disparage me? How long will they refuse to believe me, despite all the signs that I have wrought before them?
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Kilè pèp sa a va sispann meprize mwen? Kilè y'a soti pou yo fè m' konfyans? Gade tout bèl bagay mwen te fè pou yo. Malgre sa, yo pa vle kwè m' toujou!
12 Therefore, I will strike them with a pestilence, and so I will consume them. But you I will make the ruler over a great nation, and one which is mightier than this one.”
M'ap voye yon sèl epidemi sou yo, m'ap touye yo tout. M'ap anpeche yo pran posesyon tè ki pou yo a. Men ou menm, m'ap fè ou tounen yon nasyon k'ap pi gwo, k'ap pi fò pase yo.
13 And Moses said to the Lord: “But then the Egyptians, from whose midst you led out this people,
Men, Moyiz di Seyè a konsa: -Se ou menm ak fòs ponyèt ou ki te fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip la.
14 and the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that you, O Lord, are among this people, and that you are seen face to face, and that your cloud protects them, and that you go before them with a column of cloud by day, and a column of fire by night,
Lè moun pèyi Lejip yo va vin konnen sa ou pral fè pèp la, y'a rakonte l' bay moun ki rete nan peyi Kanaran yo. Yo menm tou, yo deja konnen se ou menm, Seyè, ki kanpe la nan mitan pèp la, se ou menm ki parèt aklè devan je yo, se nwaj ou, Granmèt, ki rete anwo yo. Se ou menm ki t'ap mache devan yo lajounen nan yon gwo nwaj ki te gen fòm yon poto, lannwit nan yon gwo flanm dife ki te gen fòm yon poto tou.
15 may hear that you have killed so great a multitude, as if they were one man, and they may say:
Koulye a, si ou rete konsa ou touye tout pèp ou a, moun lòt nasyon yo ki te tande pale ki kalite moun ou ye, yo pral di
16 ‘He was not able to lead the people into the land about which he had sworn. Therefore, he slew them in the wilderness.’
se kapab ou pa t' kapab mennen pèp la nan peyi ou te fè sèman w'ap ba yo a kifè ou touye yo nan dezè a.
17 Therefore, may the strength of the Lord be magnified, just as you swore, saying:
Non. Seyè! Se koulye a pou ou fè wè gwo pouvwa ou la, jan ou te pwomèt l' a, lè ou te di:
18 ‘The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and forsaking no one who is harmless. He visits the sins of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and fourth generation.’
Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, mwen pa an kòlè fasil, mwen p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. M'ap toujou padonnen sa nou fè ki mal ak sa nou te dwe fè nou pa fè. Men, mwen pa nan kase fèy kouvri sa ak pesonn. Si yon moun fè yon bagay mal, m'ap pini pitit li, pitit pitit li, ak pitit pitit pitit li yo pou sa li fè a, jouk sou twazyèm ak katriyèm jenerasyon.
19 Forgive, I beg you, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of your mercy, just as you have been gracious to them in their journey from Egypt to this place.”
Tanpri, jan ou gen bon kè sa a, padonnen sa pèp la fè ki mal la, menm jan ou te pran pasyans ak yo depi yo kite peyi Lejip jouk yo rive isit la.
20 And the Lord said: “I have forgiven them according to your word.
Seyè a di: -M'ap padonnen yo, jan ou mande m' lan.
21 Also, as I live, the entire world shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.
Men, menm jan ou wè mwen vivan an, menm jan ou wè pouvwa mwen toupatou sou latè,
22 And yet, all the men who have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tested me ten times already, and yet have not obeyed my voice,
okenn nan moun sa yo p'ap rive viv lontan ase pou yo antre nan peyi a. Yo te wè pouvwa mwen, yo te wè tout bèl bagay mwen te fè nan peyi Lejip ak nan dezè a. Men anpil fwa deja, yo chache wè jouk ki bò mwen ye ak yo, yo pa janm vle koute m' lè m' pale ak yo.
23 these shall not see the land, about which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who detracted me gaze upon it.
Yo p'ap menm wè peyi mwen te sèmante mwen t'ap bay zansèt yo a. Yo tout ki vire do ban mwen yo, yo yonn p'ap wè peyi a.
24 My servant Caleb, who, being full of another spirit, has followed me, I will lead into this land, through which he has wandered, and his offspring shall possess it.
Men, paske Kalèb, sèvitè m' lan, pa aji tankou yo, li swiv mwen san gad dèyè, m'ap fè l' antre nan peyi li te al rekonèt la. Pitit pitit li yo va pran peyi a pou yo.
25 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys. Tomorrow, move the camp and return into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea.”
Y'a rete nan plenn kote moun Amalèk yo ak moun Kanaran yo rete koulye a. Denmen n'ap fè bak, n'a tounen nan dezè a ankò nan direksyon Lanmè Wouj la.
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon, li di yo konsa:
27 “How long will this very wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel.
-Kilè bann moun mechan sa yo va sispann bougonnen sou do mwen konsa? Mwen bouke tande jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap pale m' mal.
28 Therefore, say to them: As I live, says the Lord, as you spoke in my hearing, so will I do to you.
Men sa pou ou di yo pou mwen: Se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, ki di sa. Menm jan nou wè m' vivan an, mwen fè sèman sa nou te di k'ap rive nou an, se li k'ap rive nou vre.
29 In the wilderness, here shall your carcasses lie. All you who were numbered from twenty years and above, and who have murmured against me,
Y'ap antere kadav nou tout nan dezè a. Nou tout ki t'ap bougonnen sou mwen yo, nou tout yo te konte lè resansman an, nou tout ki gen ventan ak sa ki pi gran yo, nou yonn p'ap antre nan peyi a.
30 you shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my hand to cause you to live there, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Dakò! Mwen te fè sèman mwen t'ap fè nou al rete nan peyi a. Men, nou yonn p'ap gen chans lan, esepte Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, ak Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan.
31 But your little ones, about whom you said that they would be a prey to the enemies, I will lead them in, so that they may see the land that has displeased you.
Nou te di pitit pitit nou yo pral tonbe anba men lènmi nou yo. Men, se yo menm m'ap fè antre nan peyi nou menm nou refize al pran an.
32 Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.
Men, nou menm y'ap antere kadav nou yo isit nan dezè a.
33 Your sons shall wander in the desert for forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers are consumed in the desert.
Pitit nou yo pral moute desann nan tout dezè a. Pandan karant lanne, y'a peye pou vire nou te vire do ban mwen an, jouk nou tout nèt n'a fin mouri nan dezè a.
34 According to the number of the forty days, during which you examined the land, one year shall be charged for each day. And so, for forty years you shall take back your iniquities, and you shall know my retribution.
Nou menm, n'a peye konsekans peche nou an pandan karant lanne, yon lanne pou chak jou nan karant jou nou te pase ap vizite peyi a. Lè sa a, n'a konnen sa sa vle di lè m' vire do bay moun.
35 For just as I have spoken, so shall I do, to this entire most wicked multitude, which has risen up together against me. In the wilderness, here shall it fade away and die.”
Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa: Mwen fè sèman se konsa mwen pral aji ak bann moun sa yo ki mete tèt yo ansanm sou do m'. Yo tout gen pou yo disparèt nan dezè sa a. Wi, se la menm yo tout ap mouri.
36 Therefore, all the men, whom Moses had sent to contemplate the land, and who, having returned, had caused the entire multitude to murmur against him, disparaging the land as if it were evil,
Mesye Moyiz te voye al rekonèt peyi a te fè tout pèp la ap bougonnen sou Moyiz avèk move rapò yo te fè sou peyi a, lè yo te tounen an.
37 suffered death and were struck down in the sight of the Lord.
Se konsa yon sèl maladi tonbe sou mesye sa yo ki te pale peyi a mal konsa. Yo tonbe, yo mouri frèt devan Seyè a.
38 But only Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, out of all those who had journeyed to examine the land.
Nan douz mesye ki te al vizite peyi a, se de sèlman ki pa t' mouri: se te Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, ak Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a.
39 And Moses spoke all these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.
Lè Moyiz di moun pèp Izrayèl yo tout pawòl sa yo, sa te fè yo lapenn anpil.
40 And behold, rising up at first light, they climbed to the top of the mountain, and they said, “We are prepared to ascend to the place, about which the Lord has spoken, for we have sinned.”
Nan denmen maten, byen bònè, yo leve pou y' al janbe lòt bò mòn yo pou yo antre nan peyi a. Yo t'ap di: -Men nou! Nou pare pou n' ale kote Seyè a di pou n' ale a. Nou rekonèt sa nou te fè a mal.
41 And Moses said to them: “Why do you transgress the word of the Lord, merely because it will not result in prosperity for you?
Men Moyiz di yo: -Pouki pou n'ap dezobeyi lòd Seyè a ankò? Sa p'ap mache pou nou non, fwa sa a!
42 Do not ascend, for the Lord is not with you, lest you be overthrown before your enemies.
Piga nou moute. Seyè a vire do ban nou, nou pa bezwen ale fè lènmi nou yo bat nou pou gremesi.
43 The Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, by whose sword you shall be ruined, for you were not willing to consent to the Lord, and so the Lord is not with you.”
Lè n'a rive devan moun Amalèk yo ak moun Kanaran yo, nou pral mouri nan batay la. Seyè a p'ap kanpe la avèk nou, paske nou te vire do ba li.
44 But they, having been darkened, ascended to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord, and Moses, did not withdraw from the camp.
Pèp la fè tèt di, yo moute moute yo sou mòn yo pou yo seye antre nan peyi a. Men, ni Bwat Kontra Seyè a, ni Moyiz pa deplase kote yo te ye nan kan an.
45 And the Amalekites descended, along with those Canaanites who were living in the mountains. And so, striking and cutting them down, they pursued them all the way to Hormah.
Se konsa moun Amalèk yo ak moun Kanaran yo ki te rete nan mòn yo desann, yo bat yo, yo kouri dèyè yo jouk yon kote yo rele Oma.
