1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 -Ou pral chwazi douz nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo, yonn pou chak branch fanmi. Ou pral voye yo pou y' al wè ki jan peyi Kanaran an ye, peyi m'ap bay moun Izrayèl yo.
“Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince amongst them.”
3 Dapre lòd Moyiz te resevwa nan men Seyè a, li pran douz gason ki te chèf fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la. Antan li te nan dezè Paran an, li voye yo al rekonèt peyi a.
Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD. All of them were men who were heads of the children of Israel.
4 Men non yo: Pou branch Woubenn lan, se te Chamwa, pitit gason Zakou a.
These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
5 Pou branch fanmi Simeyon an, se te Chafa, pitit gason Ori a.
Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
6 Pou branch fanmi Jida a, se te Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a.
Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
7 Pou branch fanmi Isaka a, se te Jigal, pitit gason Jozèf la.
Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
8 Pou branch fanmi Efrayim lan, se te Oze, pitit gason Noun lan.
Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.
9 Pou branch fanmi Benjamen an, se te Palti, pitit gason Rafou a.
Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
10 Pou branch fanmi Zabilon an, se te Gadiyèl, pitit gason Sodi a.
Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
11 Pou branch fanmi Jozèf la, nan branch Manase a, se te Gadi, pitit gason Souzi a.
Of the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12 Pou branch fanmi Dann lan, se te Amiyèl, pitit gason Jemali a.
Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13 Pou branch fanmi Asè a, se te Setou, pitit gason Mikayèl la.
Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
14 Pou branch fanmi Neftali a, se te Nakbi, pitit gason Wopsi a.
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
15 Pou branch fanmi Gad la, se te Geouyèl, pitit gason Maki a.
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16 Se te non douz mesye Moyiz te voye al rekonèt peyi Kanaran an. Moyiz te chanje non Oze, pitit gason Noun lan, li rele l' Jozye.
These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
17 Lè Moyiz voye yo ale nan peyi Kanaran an, li di yo: -Moute nan peyi a. N'a pase pa Negèv la, n'a pran chemen mòn pou nou.
Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country.
18 Ale gade peyi a. Chache konnen ki jan li ye, ki kalite moun ki rete ladan l', konbe yo ye, ak ki fòs yo.
See the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
19 Chache konnen si tè a se yon bon tè osinon yon move tè, si moun yo rete nan lavil ki gen ranpa pou pwoteje yo osinon nan kan anba tant twal.
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 camps, or in strongholds;
20 Chache konnen si peyi a rich osinon pòv, si gen anpil pyebwa sou tè a ou si pa genyen. Nou pa bezwen pè anyen. Lè n'ap tounen, pote kèk nan fwi ki donnen laba a. Se te sezon rezen te konmanse ap mi.
and what the land is, whether it is fertile or poor, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.
21 Se konsa mesye yo moute, y' al chache konnen tout bagay ki gen nan peyi a, depi dezè Zin ki nan sid peyi a rive jouk Reyòb toupre pas Amat la, nan nò.
So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
22 Yo travèse zòn Negèv la, yo rive lavil Ebwon kote moun Ayiman yo, moun Chechayi yo ak moun Talmayi yo rete. Yo tout te fè pati ras moun Anak yo. Ebwon sa a, se yon lavil ki te bati sètan anvan yo te bati lavil Zoan nan peyi Lejip.
They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 Yo rive nan ravin Echkòl, yo koupe yon branch rezen ki te gen yon sèl gwo grap rezen nan li. Yo mete l' sou yon gòl pou de moun te ka pote l' sou zepòl yo, si tèlman li te lou. Yo pote grenad ak fig frans tou.
They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
24 Yo rele kote sa a Ravin Echkòl, poutèt gwo grap rezen moun pèp Izrayèl yo te koupe la a.
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
25 Apre karant jou, lè yo fin vizite toupatou nan peyi a, yo tounen,
They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
26 yo vin jwenn Moyiz, Arawon ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo Kadès, nan dezè Paran an. Yo detaye ba yo tou sa yo te wè, yo moutre yo fwi yo te pote yo.
They went and came to Moses, 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. They showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Yo di Moyiz konsa: -Nou vizite toupatou nan peyi ou te voye nou al chache konnen an. Se yon peyi ki rich anpil, kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Se vre wi. Gade fwi nou jwenn ladan l'.
They told him, and said, “We came to the land where you sent us. Surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
28 Men, moun ki rete nan peyi a gwonèg anpil. Lavil yo gran, yo byen pwoteje. Sa ki pi rèd nou wè yon kalite ras moun gwonèg bèl wotè.
However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.
29 Moun Amalèk yo rete nan sid peyi a, nan zòn Negèv la. Moun It yo, moun Jebis yo ak moun Amon yo rete nan mòn yo. Moun Kanaran yo rete bò lanmè Mediterane a ak bò larivyè Jouden an.
Amalek dwells in the land of the South. The Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country. The Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along the side of the Jordan.”
30 Kalèb fè moun yo sispann bougonnen sou do Moyiz, li di yo konsa: -Ann moute koulye a. Ann al pran peyi a pou nou. Pa gen anyen la a nou pa ka fè!
Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let’s go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it!”
31 Men mesye ki te moute ansanm ak Kalèb yo di konsa: -Non. Nou pa ka al atake moun sa yo. Yo pi fò pase nou.
But the men who went up with him said, “We aren’t able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.”
32 Se konsa yo pran pale mal sou peyi yo te al vizite a devan pèp Izrayèl la. Yo t'ap di: -Peyi nou ta l' vizite a, peyi nou ta l' chache konnen an, se yon peyi ki pa menm bay kont manje pou moun k'ap viv sou li yo. Epi, tout moun nou wè la se moun ki wo anpil.
They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 Sa ki pi rèd, nou wè yon kalite gwonèg bèl wotè, moun ras Anak yo. Devan moun sa yo se krebete nou ye, tèlman nou piti. Se konsa nou te santi nou devan yo.
There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim. We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
