Deuteronomo 33
1 Awa ndi madalitso amene Mose, munthu wa Mulungu, anawapereka kwa Aisraeli asanafe.
And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 Iye anati: “Yehova anabwera kuchokera ku Sinai ndipo anatulukira kuchokera ku Seiri; anawala kuchokera pa Phiri la Parani. Iye anabwera ndi chiwunyinji cha angelo kuchokera kummwera, moto woyaka uli mʼdzanja mwake.
And he said: The LORD came from Sinai, and rose from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, and He came from the myriads holy, at His right hand was a fiery law unto them.
3 Ndithu ndinu amene mumakonda anthu anu; opatulika ake onse ali mʼmanja mwake. Onse amagwada pansi pa mapazi anu kuchokera kwa inu amalandira malangizo,
Yea, He loveth the peoples, all His holy ones — they are in Thy hand; and they sit down at Thy feet, receiving of Thy words.
4 malamulo amene Mose anatipatsa, chuma chopambana cha mtundu wa Yakobo.
Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 Iye anali mfumu ya Yesuruni pamene atsogoleri a anthu anasonkhana, pamodzi ndi mafuko a Israeli.
And there was a king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6 “Lolani Rubeni akhale ndi moyo ndipo asafe, anthu ake asachepe pa chiwerengero.”
Let Reuben live, and not die in that his men become few.
7 Ndipo ponena za Yuda anati: “Inu Yehova, imvani kulira kwa Yuda; mubweretseni kwa anthu ake. Ndi manja ake omwe adziteteze yekha. Inu khalani thandizo lake polimbana ndi adani ake!”
And this for Judah, and he said: Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him in unto his people; his hands shall contend for him, and Thou shalt be a help against his adversaries.
8 Za fuko la Alevi anati: “Tumimu wanu ndi Urimu ndi za mtumiki wanu wokhulupirika. Munamuyesa ku Masa; munalimbana naye ku madzi a ku Meriba.
And of Levi he said: Thy Thummim and Thy Urim be with Thy holy one, whom Thou didst prove at Massah, with whom Thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
9 Iye ananena za abambo ake ndi amayi ake kuti, ‘Sindilabadira za iwo.’ Sanasamale za abale ake kapena ana ake, koma anayangʼanira mawu anu ndipo anateteza pangano lanu.
Who said of his father, and of his mother: 'I have not seen him'; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew he his own children; for they have observed Thy word, and keep Thy covenant.
10 Iye amaphunzitsa Yakobo malangizo anu ndi malamulo anu kwa Israeli. Amafukiza lubani pamaso panu ndiponso amapereka nsembe zanu zonse zopsereza pa guwa lanu.
They shall teach Jacob Thine ordinances, and Israel Thy law; they shall put incense before Thee, and whole burnt-offering upon Thine altar.
11 Inu Yehova, dalitsani luso lake lonse ndipo mukondwere ndi ntchito za manja ake. Menyani adani awo mʼchiwuno kanthani amene amuwukira kuti asadzukenso.”
Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise up against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
12 Za fuko la Benjamini anati: “Wokondedwa wa Yehova akhale mwamtendere mwa Iye, pakuti amamuteteza tsiku lonse, ndipo amene Yehova amamukonda amawusa pa mapewa ake.”
Of Benjamin he said: The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by Him; He covereth him all the day, and He dwelleth between his shoulders.
13 Za fuko la Yosefe anati: “Yehova adalitse dziko lake ndi mame ambiri ochokera kumwamba ndiponso madzi ambiri ochokera pansi pa nthaka;
And of Joseph he said: Blessed of the LORD be his land; for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14 ndi zinthu zambiri zimene zimacha ndi dzuwa ndiponso ndi zokolola zabwino kwambiri zimene zimacha ndi mwezi uliwonse;
And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, and for the precious things of the yield of the moons,
15 ndi zipatso zabwino kwambiri zochokera mʼmapiri amakedzanawa ndiponso zokolola zochuluka zochokera ku zitunda zakalekale;
And for the tops of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
16 ndi mphatso zabwino kwambiri zochokera pa dziko lapansi ndi zonse zimene zili mʼmenemo ndiponso kukoma mtima kwa Iye amene amakhala mʼchitsamba choyaka moto. Madalitso onsewa akhale pa mutu pa Yosefe, wapaderadera pakati pa abale ake.
And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof, and the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush; let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the head of him that is prince among his brethren.
17 Ulemerero wake uli ngati ngʼombe yayimuna yoyamba kubadwa; nyanga zake zili ngati za njati. Ndi nyanga zakezo adzapirikitsa anthu a mitundu ina, ngakhale iwo amene akukhala ku malekezero a dziko lapansi. Nyanga zimenezi ndiye anthu miyandamiyanda a Efereimu; nyanga zimenezi ndiye anthu 1,000 a Manase.”
His firstling bullock, majesty is his; and his horns are the horns of the wild-ox; with them he shall gore the peoples all of them, even the ends of the earth; and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 Za fuko la Zebuloni anati: “Kondwera Zebuloni, pamene ukutuluka, ndipo iwe, Isakara, kondwera mʼmatenti ako.
And of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out, and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 Adzayitanira mitundu ya anthu kumapiri, kumeneko adzaperekako nsembe zachilungamo; kumeneko adzadyerera zinthu zochuluka zochokera ku nyanja, chuma chobisika mu mchenga.”
They shall call peoples unto the mountain; there shall they offer sacrifices of righteousness; for they shall suck the abundance of the seas, and the hidden treasures of the sand.
20 Za fuko la Gadi anati: “Wodala amene amakulitsa malire a Gadi! Gadi amakhala kumeneko ngati mkango, kukhadzula mkono kapena mutu.
And of Gad he said: Blessed be He that enlargeth Gad; he dwelleth as a lioness, and teareth the arm, yea, the crown of the head.
21 Iye anadzisankhira dziko labwino kwambiri; gawo la mtsogoleri anasungira iye. Pamene atsogoleri a anthu anasonkhana, anachita chifuniro cha Yehova molungama, ndiponso malamulo onena za Israeli.”
And he chose a first part for himself, for there a portion of a ruler was reserved; and there came the heads of the people, he executed the righteousness of the LORD, and His ordinances with Israel.
22 Za fuko la Dani anati: “Dani ndi mwana wamkango, amene akutuluka ku Basani.”
And of Dan he said: Dan is a lion's whelp, that leapeth forth from Bashan.
23 Za fuko la Nafutali anati: “Nafutali wadzaza ndi kukoma mtima kwa Yehova ndipo ndi wodzaza ndi madalitso ake; cholowa chake chidzakhala mbali ya kummwera kwa nyanja.”
And of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the sea and the south.
24 Za fuko la Aseri anati: “Mwana wodalitsika kwambiri ndi Aseri; abale ake amukomere mtima, ndipo asambe mapazi ake mʼmafuta.
And of Asher he said: Blessed be Asher above sons; let him be the favoured of his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Zotsekera za zipata zako zidzakhala za chitsulo ndi za mkuwa, ndi mphamvu zako zidzakhala ngati masiku a moyo wako.
Iron and brass shall be thy bars; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
26 “Palibe wina wofanana ndi Mulungu wa Yesuruni, amene amakwera pa thambo kukuthandizani ndiponso pa mitambo ya ulemerero wake.
There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven as thy help, and in His excellency on the skies.
27 Mulungu wamuyaya ndiye pothawirapo pathu, ndipo pa dziko lapansi amakusungani ndi mphamvu zosatha. Adzathamangitsa patsogolo panu mdani wanu, adzanena kuti, ‘Muwonongeni!’
The eternal God is a dwelling-place, and underneath are the everlasting arms; and He thrust out the enemy from before thee, and said: 'Destroy.'
28 Motero Israeli adzakhala yekha mwamtendere; zidzukulu za Yakobo zili pa mtendere mʼdziko la tirigu ndi vinyo watsopano, kumene thambo limagwetsa mame.
And Israel dwelleth in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of corn and wine; yea, his heavens drop down dew.
29 Iwe Israeli, ndiwe wodala! Wofanana nanu ndani anthu opulumutsidwa ndi Yehova? Iye ndiye chishango ndi mthandizi wanu ndi lupanga lanu la ulemerero. Adani ako adzakugonjera, ndipo iwe udzapondereza pansi malo awo achipembedzo.”
Happy art thou, O Israel, who is like unto thee? a people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and that is the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall dwindle away before thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
