申命记 33
1 以下是神人摩西在未死之先为以色列人所祝的福：
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: “The Lord went forth from Sinai, and he arose for us from Seir. He appeared from Mount Paran, and thousands of holy ones were with him. The fiery law was in his right hand.
3 他疼爱百姓； 众圣徒都在他手中。 他们坐在他的脚下， 领受他的言语。
He loved the people; all the holy ones are in his hand. And those who approach his feet shall receive from his doctrine.
4 摩西将律法传给我们， 作为雅各会众的产业。
Moses instructed us in the law, the inheritance of the multitude of Jacob.
5 百姓的众首领， 以色列的各支派， 一同聚会的时候， 耶和华在耶书 中为王。
The king shall have great righteousness, at the gathering of the princes of the people with the tribes of Israel.
6 愿吕便存活，不致死亡； 愿他人数不致稀少。
Let Ruben live, and not die, and may he be small in number.”
7 为犹大祝福说： 求耶和华俯听犹大的声音， 引导他归于本族； 他曾用手为自己争战， 你必帮助他攻击敌人。
This is the blessing of Judah. “Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, and lead him to his people. His hands shall fight for him, and he shall be his helper against his adversaries.”
8 论利未说： 耶和华啊，你的土明和乌陵 都在你的虔诚人那里。 你在玛撒曾试验他， 在米利巴水与他争论。
Likewise, to Levi he said: “Your perfection and your doctrine are for your holy man, whom you have proven by temptation, and whom you have judged at the Waters of Contradiction.
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。
He has said to his father and to his mother, ‘I do not know you,’ and to his brothers, ‘I will disregard you.’ And they have not known their own sons. Such as these have kept your word and have observed your 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。
your judgments, O Jacob, and your law, O Israel. They shall place incense before your fury and a holocaust upon your 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。
O Lord, bless his strength, and receive the works of his hands. Strike the backs of his enemies, and do not let those who hate him rise up.”
12 论便雅悯说： 耶和华所亲爱的必同耶和华安然居住； 耶和华终日遮蔽他，也住在他两肩之中。
And to Benjamin he said: “The most beloved of the Lord will live confidently in him. He shall remain all day long, as if in a bridal chamber, and he shall rest amid her arms.”
13 论约瑟说： 愿他的地蒙耶和华赐福， 得天上的宝物、甘露， 以及地里所藏的泉水；
Likewise, to Joseph he said: “His land shall be from the blessing of the Lord, from the fruits of heaven, and from the dew, and from the abyss which lies below,
14 得太阳所晒熟的美果， 月亮所养成的宝物；
from the fruits of the crops under the sun and the moon,
15 得上古之山的至宝， 永世之岭的宝物；
from the heights of the ancient mountains, from the fruits of the everlasting hills,
16 得地和其中所充满的宝物， 并住荆棘中上主的喜悦。 愿这些福都归于约瑟的头上， 归于那与弟兄迥别之人的顶上。
and from the fruits of the earth with all its plenitude. May the blessing of him who appeared in the bush, settle upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of the Nazarite among 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。
His excellence is like that of a first-born bull. His horns are like the horns of a rhinoceros; he shall brandish these against the Gentiles, even to the ends of the earth. These are the multitudes of Ephraim, and these the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 论西布伦说： 西布伦哪，你出外可以欢喜。 以萨迦啊，在你帐棚里可以快乐。
And to Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your departure, and Issachar, in your tabernacles.
19 他们要将列邦召到山上， 在那里献公义的祭； 因为他们要吸取海里的丰富， 并沙中所藏的珍宝。
They shall summon the peoples to the mountain. There, they shall immolate the victims of justice, who feed on the flood of the sea, as if on milk, and on the hidden treasures of the sands.”
20 论迦得说： 使迦得扩张的应当称颂！ 迦得住如母狮； 他撕裂膀臂，连头顶也撕裂。
And to Gad he said: “Blessed is Gad in his breadth. He has rested like a lion, and he has seized the arm and the top of the head.
21 他为自己选择头一段地， 因在那里有设立律法者的分存留。 他与百姓的首领同来； 他施行耶和华的公义 和耶和华与以色列所立的典章。
And he has seen his own pre-eminence, which his teacher has stored up as his portion. He was with the princes of the people, and he accomplished the justices of the Lord, and his judgment with Israel.”
22 论但说： 但为小狮子， 从巴珊跳出来。
Likewise, to Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion. He shall flow plentifully from Bashan.”
23 论拿弗他利说： 拿弗他利啊，你足沾恩惠， 满得耶和华的福， 可以得西方和南方为业。
And to Naphtali he said: “Naphtali shall enjoy abundance, and he shall be full of the blessings of the Lord. He shall possess the sea and the Meridian.”
24 论亚设说： 愿亚设享受多子的福乐， 得他弟兄的喜悦， 可以把脚蘸在油中。
Likewise, to Asher he said: “Let Asher be blessed with sons. Let him be pleasing to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 你的门闩是铜的，铁的。 你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。
His shoe shall be of iron and of brass. As were the days of your youth, so also shall be your old age.
26 耶书 哪，没有能比 神的。 他为帮助你，乘在天空， 显其威荣，驾行穹苍。
There is no other god like the God of the most righteous one. He who rides upon the heavens is your helper. His magnificence scatters the clouds.
27 永生的 神是你的居所； 他永久的膀臂在你以下。 他在你前面撵出仇敌， 说：毁灭吧。
His habitation is above, and the everlasting arms are below. He shall cast out the enemy before your face, and he shall say: ‘Be utterly broken!’
28 以色列安然居住； 雅各的本源独居五谷新酒之地。 他的天也滴甘露。
Israel shall live in confidence and alone, as the eye of Jacob in a land of grain and of wine; and the heavens shall be misty with dew.
29 以色列啊，你是有福的！ 谁像你这蒙耶和华所拯救的百姓呢？ 他是你的盾牌，帮助你， 是你威荣的刀剑。 你的仇敌必投降你； 你必踏在他们的高处。
Blessed are you, O Israel. Who is like you, the people who are saved by the Lord? He is the shield of your assistance and the sword of your glory. Your enemies will refuse to acknowledge you, and so you shall tread upon their necks.”
