Mousese Ea Malasu 33
1 Mousese, Gode Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu, ea bogomu gadeneloba, da Isala: ili fi huluane amo hahawane dogolegele fidisu ba: ma: ne sia: i, amane,
Before God’s prophet Moses died, he [asked God to] bless the Israeli people.
2 “Hina Gode da Sainai Goumi amoga misi. E da eso mabe agoai Idome sogega heda: i. E da Balane Goumia Ea fi dunuma Ea hadigi olelei. A: igele dunu 10,000agoane da E sigi misi. Ilia da Ea lobodafa dafulili lalu bagade agoane ba: i.
This is what he said: “Yahweh came [and spoke] to us at Sinai [Mountain]; he [came like] [MET] the sun rises in the Edom [region] and like his light shone on us when we were [in the desert] near Paran Mountain [after we left Sinai Mountain]. He came with 10,000 angels, and there was a flaming fire at his right side.
3 Hina Gode da Ea fi dunuma asigisa. E da Ema fa: no bobogesu dunu gaga: lala. Amaiba: le, ninia da Ea emoga begudusa amola Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amoma fa: no bobogesa.
Yahweh truly loves his people, and protects [MTY] all those who belong to him. So they prostrate themselves in front of him, and they listen to his instructions.
4 Ninia da Sema amo Mousese da ninima i, amoma fa: no bobogesa. Amoma ninia nodosa amola amo da ninia gagui liligi huluane bagadewane baligisa.
I gave them laws to obey, laws that would be the most precious thing that [the descendants of] Jacob owned.
5 Isala: ili fi dunu ilia amola ilia ouligisu dunu da gilisibiba: le, ilia da Hina Gode ilima Hina Bagade hamoi.”
So Yahweh became the king of his Israeli people when all the tribes and their leaders were gathered together.
6 Mousese daLiubenefi ilia hou amane olelei, “Liubene fi dunu da bagahame esala. Be ilia da hamedafa bogomu da defea.”
[I say this about the tribe of] Reuben: I desire/hope that their tribe will never disappear, but they will never become numerous.
7 E daYudafi ilia hou amane olelei, “Hina Gode! Ilia Di fidimusa: webeba: le, nabima! Dia ili eno Isala: ili fi ilima bu gilisima! Hina Gode, ilima ha lai da ilima hasalasisa: besa: le, ilia gegesu fidima!
“say this about [the tribe of] Judah: Yahweh, listen to them when they call out [for help]; and unite them with the other tribes again. Fight for them, and help them to fight against their enemies.
8 E daLifaifi ilia hou amane olelei, “Hina Gode! Dia noga: i hawa: hamosu dunu, amo Lifai fi da Dia hanai ninima olelesa. Ilia Iulimi amola Damini ba: sea, olelesa. Di da Masa hano amoga ilia hou adole ba: su amola Meliba hano amoga ilia dafawaneyale dawa: su hou ba: i dagoi.
I say this about [the tribe of] Levi: Yahweh, give to those who are dedicated to you the sacred stones [that they will use to find out what you want to be done]; You tested them at a spring in the desert, a spring that they named Massah and also named Meribah [to find out if they would (remain loyal to/continue to obey) you].
9 Ilia Dima asigi hou da ilia eda, ame, olalali amola manolali ilima asigi hou baligi. Ilia da Dia sia: i amo nabawane hamoi amola Dia gousa: su hame yolesi.
The tribe of Levi did what you told them to do and obeyed the agreement that you [made with the Israeli people]; those laws were more important to them [HYP] than their siblings and parents and children.
10 Ilia da Dia fi Dia sema amoma fa: no bobogema: ne olelemu. Ilia da Dia oloda da: iya gobele salasu hamomu.
The tribe of Levi will teach the Israeli people [DOU] your rules and regulations, and they are the ones who will burn incense and who will completely burn on the altar the offerings [that the people bring].
11 Ilia fi da gasa bagade heda: ma: ne, Di, Hina Gode, fidima. Ilia hou hahawane ba: ma. Ilima ha lai amo bu mae wa: legadoma: ne, gugunufinisima.”
Yahweh, bless their work and (accept/be pleased with) all that they do. Crush/Destroy all their enemies; do not enable their enemies to be able to fight against them again.
12 E daBediaminifi ilia hou amane olelei, “Amo fi ilima Hina Gode da asigisa amola gaga: sa. E da eso huluane ili ouligisa. E da ilia gilisisu ganodini esalebe.
I say this about [the tribe of] Benjamin: They are the tribe that Yahweh loves; he keeps them safe. He protects them continually, and he lives among their hills [MET].
13 E daYousefefi ilia hou amane olelei, “Hina Gode da Yousefe ea soge amo gibuga hahawane dogolegele fidimu da defea. Amola hano osobo hagudu diala amo ema imunu da defea.
“say this about [the tribes of] Joseph: I desire/hope that Yahweh will bless their land by giving them rain/dew from the sky and water from deep [in the ground],
14 E da noga: le fidibiba: le, ea fi da ha: i manu fage noga: iwane oubi huluane amoga ba: mu da defea.
by giving them good fruit [ripened] by the sun and good crops at harvest time.
15 Hina Gode da ilia goumi E hemone hamoi, amo ha: i manu fage amoga dedebomu da defea.
I desire/hope that very nice fruit will grow on trees in their ancient mountains/hills [DOU],

Yousefe da yolalali fi amo ganodini dialuma agoane hamoiba: le, amo hahawane dogolegele fidisu hou da ema doaga: mu da defea.
and that their land will be have many good crops, blessed by [Yahweh], the one who appeared to me in a burning bush. I desire/hope that Yahweh will bless the tribes of Joseph in all those ways, because he was the leaders of his [older] brothers [when they were in Egypt].
17 Yousefe da magobo bulamagau mano gawali defele gasa bagade gala. E da bulamagau sigua bese (hono) gala. Ea hono da fedege agoane fi ilia dunu osea: i gala-Mana: seamolaIfala: imeilia dunu osea: idafa gala. Amo hono amoga e da fifi asi gala huluane sone, osobo bagade bega: bega: fuli fasisa.”
The descendants of Joseph will be as strong as [SIM] a bull; [with their weapons they will wound their enemies, like] [MET] a wild ox [gores other animals] with its horns. They will force other people-groups, all of them, to be exiled to the most distant places on the earth. That is what [the descendants of the two sons of Joseph] will do, the ten thousands [of the tribe] of Ephraim and the thousands [of the tribe] of Manasseh.
18 E daSebiulane fi amolaIsagafi ilia hou amane olelei, “Sebiulane da hano wayabo bagadega ahoasea, hahawane ba: mu da defea. Amola Isaga fi dunu da ilia soge ganodini esalea, ilia gagui da hahawane heda: ma: mu.

They will invite people [from the other Israeli tribes] to the mountain [where they worship Yahweh], and they will offer the correct/proper sacrifices to him. They will become rich from [the work that they do on] the seas and from [the things that they make from] (OR, [find in]) the sand [on the beaches].
20 E daGa: defi ilia hou amane olelei, “Hina Gode da Ga: de ea soge bagade hamoiba: le, Ema nodomu da defea. Ga: de da gasonasu laione wa: me agoane dunu eno ilia lobo o dialuma amo gasona.
“say this about [the tribe of] Gad: Praise [Yahweh], the one who made their [territory] large. The people of their tribe [will attack their enemies fiercely] [SIM] like a lion that crouches, waiting to tear off the arm or the scalp [of some animal].
21 Ga: de fi da soge baligili noga: i amo ilisu fima: ne ilegei. Na da ouligisu dunu ea sogebi defele ema i dagoi. Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu da gilisisia, Ga: de fi dunu da Hina Gode Ea sia: amola Ea sema amoma noga: le fa: no bobogei.”
They chose the best part of the land for themselves; [a large share of the land], a share that should be given to a leader was allotted to them. When the leaders of the tribes of Israel [gathered together], they decided that the tribe of Gad should have a large share of the land. The tribe of Gad obeyed the commands of Yahweh and the things that he decided that they should do.

Their [towns will be protected by high walls with gates that have] bronze and iron bars; I desire/hope that they will be strong and secure/protected all the time that they are alive.
26 Isala: ili dunu! Dilia Gode da eno ‘gode’ liligi bagadewane baligisa. E da hadigiwane, mu amoga fila heda: le, mumobi amoga fila heda: le dili fidima: ne maha.
“You people of Israel, there is no god like your God, who rides majestically across the sky to help you.
27 Eso huluane Esalalalumu Gode da dilia Gaga: su. Ea eso huluane esalalalumu lobo da dili gaguiba: le, hame yolesimu. Dilia da gusuba: i ahoasea, Hi da dilima ha lai amo sefasi. E da dili amo dunu huluane gugunufinisima: ne sia: i.
God, who lives forever, is the one who (gives you refuge/protects you); [it is as though] he puts his everlasting arms under you [to support you]. He will expel your enemies while you advance; he has told you to destroy all of them.
28 Amaiba: le, Ya: igobe egaga fi da soge amo gagoma amola waini amoga nabai gala amola gibuga noga: le hahamoi amo ganodini olofoiwane esalumu.
So, you Israeli people will live safely; you descendants of Jacob will not be disturbed by others; in the land where [you will live], there will be plenty of grain and wine, and there will be plenty of rain.
29 Isala: ili fi! Dilia da hahawane bagade. Hina Gode da dili gaga: i dagoiba: le, dunu fi dili defele da hame gala. Hina Gode Hisu da dilia gaga: su liligi amola dilia gegesu gobihei.

You people of Israel, Yahweh (has blessed/is pleased with) you. There is certainly [RHQ] no nation like your nation, whom Yahweh has rescued [from being slaves in Egypt]. [He will be like] [MET] a shield to protect you and like [MET] a sword to enable you to defeat [your enemies]. Your enemies will come to you begging for you [to act mercifully toward them], but you will trample on their backs/necks.”
