اَلتَّثْنِيَة 33
| وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ٱلْبَرَكَةُ ٱلَّتِي بَارَكَ بِهَا مُوسَى، رَجُلُ ٱللهِ، بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ، | ١ 1 |
The following is the blessing that Moses the man of God gave to the Israelites before he died.
| فَقَالَ: «جَاءَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ سِينَاءَ، وَأَشْرَقَ لَهُمْ مِنْ سَعِيرَ، وَتَلَأْلأَ مِنْ جَبَلِ فَارَانَ، وَأَتَى مِنْ رِبْوَاتِ ٱلْقُدْسِ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ نَارُ شَرِيعَةٍ لَهُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
He said, The Lord came from Mount Sinai and shone on us from Mount Seir; he blazed out from Mount Paran coming with ten thousand of holy ones, holding flaming fire at his right hand.
| فَأَحَبَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ. جَمِيعُ قِدِّيسِيهِ فِي يَدِكَ، وَهُمْ جَالِسُونَ عِنْدَ قَدَمِكَ يَتَقَبَّلُونَ مِنْ أَقْوَالِكَ. | ٣ 3 |
How much you love the people; you hold all the holy ones in your hand. They sit down at your feet to listen to your words:
| بِنَامُوسٍ أَوْصَانَا مُوسَى مِيرَاثًا لِجَمَاعَةِ يَعْقُوبَ. | ٤ 4 |
the law that Moses delivered to us that belongs to all the Israelites.
| وَكَانَ فِي يَشُورُونَ مَلِكًا حِينَ ٱجْتَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءُ ٱلشَّعْبِ أَسْبَاطُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعًا. | ٥ 5 |
The Lord became King in Israel when the people's leaders gathered, when the tribes of Israel assembled.
| لِيَحْيَ رَأُوبَيْنُ وَلَا يَمُتْ، وَلَا يَكُنْ رِجَالُهُ قَلِيلِينَ». | ٦ 6 |
To Reuben he said, “May he live and not die, but may he only have a few men.”
| وَهَذِهِ عَنْ يَهُوذَا قَالَ: «ٱسْمَعْ يَا رَبُّ صَوْتَ يَهُوذَا، وَأْتِ بِهِ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ. بِيَدَيْهِ يُقَاتِلُ لِنَفْسِهِ، فَكُنْ عَوْنًا عَلَى أَضْدَادِهِ». | ٧ 7 |
To Judah he said: “Lord, please hear the cry of Judah and reunite him with his people. Even though he fights for himself, may you help him against his enemies.”
| وَلِلَاوِي قَالَ: «تُمِّيمُكَ وَأُورِيمُكَ لِرَجُلِكَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، ٱلَّذِي جَرَّبْتَهُ فِي مَسَّةَ وَخَاصَمْتَهُ عِنْدَ مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ. | ٨ 8 |
To Levi he said: “Your Thummim were given to Levi and your Urim to those dedicated to God, the ones you tested at Massah and argued with at the waters of Meribah.
| ٱلَّذِي قَالَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ: لَمْ أَرَهُمَا، وَبِإِخْوَتِهِ لَمْ يَعْتَرِفْ، وَأَوْلَادَهُ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ، بَلْ حَفِظُوا كَلَامَكَ وَصَانُوا عَهْدَكَ. | ٩ 9 |
Levi said that he didn't pay attention to his father and mother, that he didn't acknowledge his brothers, and that he didn't recognize his children. The Levites did what you said and kept your agreement.
| يُعَلِّمُونَ يَعْقُوبَ أَحْكَامَكَ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ نَامُوسَكَ. يَضَعُونَ بَخُورًا فِي أَنْفِكَ، وَمُحْرَقَاتٍ عَلَى مَذْبَحِكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
They will teach your regulations to Jacob and your law to Israel. They will place incense before you, and sacrifice whole burnt offerings on your altar.
| بَارِكْ يَا رَبُّ قُوَّتَهُ، وَٱرْتَضِ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ. ٱحْطِمْ مُتُونَ مُقَاوِمِيهِ وَمُبْغِضِيهِ حَتَّى لَا يَقُومُوا». | ١١ 11 |
Lord, please bless what they have, and accept their service for you. Destroy those who attack them; make sure their enemies never rise again.”
| وَلِبَنْيَامِينَ قَالَ: «حَبِيبُ ٱلرَّبِّ يَسْكُنُ لَدَيْهِ آمِنًا. يَسْتُرُهُ طُولَ ٱلنَّهَارِ، وَبَيْنَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ يَسْكُنُ». | ١٢ 12 |
To Benjamin he said: “May the one the Lord loves be kept safe and secure in the Lord. The Lord always protects him, letting him rest on his shoulders.”
| وَلِيُوسُفَ قَالَ: «مُبَارَكَةٌ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَرْضُهُ، بِنَفَائِسِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ بِٱلنَّدَى، وَبِاللُّجَّةِ ٱلرَّابِضَةِ تَحْتُ، | ١٣ 13 |
To Joseph he said: “May the Lord bless his land with the best gifts of heaven—with the dew and water from the depths below;
| وَنَفَائِسِ مُغَلَّاتِ ٱلشَّمْسِ، وَنَفَائِسِ مُنْبَتَاتِ ٱلْأَقْمَارِ. | ١٤ 14 |
with the best crops ripened by the sun and the best produce of the seasons;
| وَمِنْ مَفَاخِرِ ٱلْجِبَالِ ٱلْقَدِيمَةِ، وَمِنْ نَفَائِسِ ٱلْإِكَامِ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةِ، | ١٥ 15 |
with the finest contributions of the ancient mountains and the best materials of the everlasting hills;
| وَمِنْ نَفَائِسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمِلْئِهَا، وَرِضَى ٱلسَّاكِنِ فِي ٱلْعُلَّيْقَةِ. فَلْتَأْتِ عَلَى رَأْسِ يُوسُفَ وَعَلَى قِمَّةِ نَذِيرِ إِخْوَتِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
with the best gifts of the land and everything in it, along with the appreciation of the one who was in the burning bush. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph like a crown for this prince among his brothers.
| بِكْرُ ثَوْرِهِ زِينَةٌ لَهُ، وَقَرْنَاهُ قَرْنَا رِئْمٍ. بِهِمَا يَنْطَحُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ مَعًا إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. هُمَا رِبْوَاتُ أَفْرَايِمَ وَأُلُوفُ مَنَسَّى». | ١٧ 17 |
He is as majestic as a firstborn bull; his horns are like those of a wild ox. He will use them to gore the nations, driving them to the ends of the earth. The horns represent the ten thousands of Ephraim, and the thousands of Manasseh.”
| وَلِزَبُولُونَ قَالَ: «اِفْرَحْ يَا زَبُولُونُ بِخُرُوجِكَ، وَأَنْتَ يَا يَسَّاكَرُ بِخِيَامِكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
To Zebulun he said: “Celebrate, Zebulun, in your travels and Issachar, in your tents.
| إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ يَدْعُوانِ ٱلْقَبَائِلَ. هُنَاكَ يَذْبَحْانِ ذَبَائِحَ ٱلْبِرِّ لِأَنَّهُمَا يَرْتَضِعَانِ مِنْ فَيْضِ ٱلْبِحَارِ، وَذَخَائِرَ مَطْمُورَةٍ فِي ٱلرَّمْلِ». | ١٩ 19 |
They will summon the peoples to a mountain; will offer the appropriate sacrifices there. They will enjoy the rich produce of the seas and from trading on the seashores.”
| وَلِجَادَ قَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ ٱلَّذِي وَسَّعَ جَادَ. كَلَبْوَةٍ سَكَنَ وَٱفْتَرَسَ ٱلذِّرَاعَ مَعَ قِمَّةِ ٱلرَّأْسِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
To Gad he said: “Blessed is he who makes Gad's territory larger! Gad is like a lion lying in wait, ready to rip off an arm or a head.
| وَرَأَى ٱلْأَوَّلَ لِنَفْسِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ قِسْمٌ مِنَ ٱلشَّارِعِ مَحْفُوظٌ، فَأَتَى رَأْسًا لِلشَّعْبِ، يَعْمَلُ حَقَّ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأَحْكَامَهُ مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ». | ٢١ 21 |
He chose the best land for himself, for he was allocated a ruler's share. He met with the people's leaders; he did what the Lord said was right, following the Lord's regulations for Israel.”
| وَلِدَانَ قَالَ: «دَانُ شِبْلُ أَسَدٍ يَثِبُ مِنْ بَاشَانَ». | ٢٢ 22 |
To Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion that leaps out of Bashan.”
| وَلِنَفْتَالِي قَالَ: «يَا نَفْتَالِي ٱشْبَعْ رِضًى، وَٱمْتَلِيءْ بَرَكَةً مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱمْلِكِ ٱلْغَرْبَ وَٱلْجَنُوبَ». | ٢٣ 23 |
To Naphtali he said: “Naphtali is really favored, full of the Lord's blessing. He shall take over the land to the west and south.”
| وَلِأَشِيرَ قَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ مِنَ ٱلْبَنِينَ أَشِيرُ. لِيَكُنْ مَقْبُولًا مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ، وَيَغْمِسْ فِي ٱلزَّيْتِ رِجْلَهُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
To Asher he said: “May Asher be blessed more than all the other sons; may he be favored above his brothers and bathe his feet in olive oil.
| حَدِيدٌ وَنُحَاسٌ مَزَالِيجُكَ، وَكَأَيَّامِكَ رَاحَتُكَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
May the bolts of your gate be strong as iron and bronze, and may you be strong all your life.”
| «لَيْسَ مِثْلَ ٱللهِ يَا يَشُورُونُ. يَرْكَبُ ٱلسَّمَاءَ فِي مَعُونَتِكَ، وَٱلْغَمَامَ فِي عَظَمَتِهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
There is no one like the God of Israel, who rides across the heavens to come to help you; who rides the clouds in majesty.
| ٱلْإِلَهُ ٱلْقَدِيمُ مَلْجَأٌ، وَٱلْأَذْرُعُ ٱلْأَبَدِيَّةُ مِنْ تَحْتُ. فَطَرَدَ مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ ٱلْعَدُوَّ وَقَالَ: أَهْلِكْ. | ٢٧ 27 |
The eternal God is your home, and he holds you up with his everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy ahead of you, and gives the order, “Destroy him!”
| فَيَسْكُنَ إِسْرَائِيلُ آمِنًا وَحْدَهُ. تَكُونُ عَيْنُ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى أَرْضِ حِنْطَةٍ وَخَمْرٍ، وَسَمَاؤُهُ تَقْطُرُ نَدًى. | ٢٨ 28 |
As a result Israel lives in peace; Jacob has no trouble in a country of grain and new wine, where the heavens drip with dew.
| طُوبَاكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ! مَنْ مِثْلُكَ يَا شَعْبًا مَنْصُورًا بِٱلرَّبِّ؟ تُرْسِ عَوْنِكَ وَسَيْفِ عَظَمَتِكَ فَيَتَذَلَّلُ لَكَ أَعْدَاؤُكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَطَأُ مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِمْ». | ٢٩ 29 |
How blessed you are, Israel! Is there anyone like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is the shield that protects you, the sword that gives you confidence. Your enemies will tremble before you, and you shall tread them underfoot.
