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 Elohim 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, YHWH came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for 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 loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
4 malamulo amene Mose anatipatsa, chuma chopambana cha mtundu wa Yakobo.
Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 Iye anali mfumu ya Yesuruni pamene atsogoleri a anthu anasonkhana, pamodzi ndi mafuko a Israeli.
And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 “Lolani Rubeni akhale ndi moyo ndipo asafe, anthu ake asachepe pa chiwerengero.”
Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be 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 is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, YHWH, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
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, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and 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 unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept 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 thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice 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, YHWH, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise 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.”
And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of YHWH shall dwell in safety by him; and YHWH shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell 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 YHWH 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 fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 ndi zipatso zabwino kwambiri zochokera mʼmapiri amakedzanawa ndiponso zokolola zochuluka zochokera ku zitunda zakalekale;
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting 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 fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from 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 glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manesseh.
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 the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in 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 lion, and teareth the arm with 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 provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of YHWH, and his judgments 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: he shall leap 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 YHWH: possess thou the west 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, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to 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.
Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; 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 the El of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 Mulungu wamuyaya ndiye pothawirapo pathu, ndipo pa dziko lapansi amakusungani ndi mphamvu zosatha. Adzathamangitsa patsogolo panu mdani wanu, adzanena kuti, ‘Muwonongeni!’
The Elohim of old is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
28 Motero Israeli adzakhala yekha mwamtendere; zidzukulu za Yakobo zili pa mtendere mʼdziko la tirigu ndi vinyo watsopano, kumene thambo limagwetsa mame.
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall 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, O people saved by YHWH, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
