And this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
2 他说：耶和华从西奈而来， 从西珥向他们显现， 从巴兰山发出光辉， 从万万圣者中来临， 从他右手为百姓传出烈火的律法。
And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them. He shined forth from mount Paran, and he came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.

Yea, he loves the people. All his sanctified are in thy hand, and they sat down at thy feet. He shall receive from thy words.
4 摩西将律法传给我们， 作为雅各会众的产业。

Let Reuben live, and not die, nor let his men be few.

And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy holy man, whom thou proved at Massah, with whom thou strove at the waters of Meribah,
9 他论自己的父母说： 我未曾看见； 他也不承认弟兄， 也不认识自己的儿女。 这是因利未人遵行你的话， 谨守你的约。
who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him, neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor knew he his own sons, for they have observed thy word, and keep thy covenant.
10 他们要将你的典章教训雅各， 将你的律法教训以色列。 他们要把香焚在你面前， 把全牲的燔祭献在你的坛上。
They shall teach Jacob thine ordinances, and Israel thy law. They shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt offering upon thine altar.
11 求耶和华降福在他的财物上， 悦纳他手里所办的事。 那些起来攻击他和恨恶他的人， 愿你刺透他们的腰， 使他们不得再起来。

and for the precious things of the earth and the fullness of it, and the good will of him who dwelt in the bush. Let it come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
17 他为牛群中头生的，有威严； 他的角是野牛的角， 用以抵触万邦，直到地极。 这角是以法莲的万万， 玛拿西的千千。
The firstling of his herd, majesty is his. And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox. With them he shall push 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.

Happy are thou, O Israel. Who is like thee, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of thy help, and the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves to thee, and thou shall tread upon their high places.
