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：
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 saith: — 'Jehovah from Sinai hath come, And hath risen from Seir for them; He hath shone from mount Paran, And hath come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [are] springs for them.
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。
Also He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in thy hand, And they — they sat down at thy foot, [Each] He lifteth up at thy words.
4 摩西将律法传给我们， 作为雅各会众的产业。
A law hath Moses commanded us, A possession of the assembly 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。
And he is in Jeshurun king, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!
6 愿吕便存活，不致死亡； 愿他人数不致稀少。
Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be a 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。
And this [is] for Judah; and he saith: — Hear, O Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And unto his people do Thou bring him in; His hand hath striven for him, And an help from his adversaries art Thou.
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。
And of Levi he said: — Thy Thummim and thy Urim [are] for thy pious one, Whom Thou hast tried in Massah, Thou dost strive with Him 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 is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And his brethren he hath not discerned, And his sons he hath not known; For they have observed Thy saying, And Thy covenant they keep.
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 teach Thy judgments to Jacob, And Thy law to Israel; They put perfume in Thy nose, And whole burnt-offering on 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。
Bless, O Jehovah, his strength, And the work of his hands Thou acceptest, Smite the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him — that they rise not!
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。
Of Benjamin he said: — The beloved of Jehovah doth tabernacle confidently by him, Covering him over all the day; Yea, between his shoulders He doth tabernacle.
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；
And of Joseph he said: — Blessed of Jehovah [is] his land, By precious things of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath,
14 得太阳所晒熟的美果， 月亮所养成的宝物；
And by precious things — fruits of the sun, And by precious things — cast forth by the moons,
15 得上古之山的至宝， 永世之岭的宝物；
And by chief things — of the ancient mountains, And by precious things — of the age-during heights,
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 by precious things — of earth and its fulness, And the good pleasure Of Him who is dwelling in the bush, — Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him Who is separate from his brethren.
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 honour [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a reem; By them peoples he doth push together To the ends of earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they [are] 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 of Zebulun he said: — Rejoice, O Zebulun, in thy going out, And, O Issachar, in thy tents;
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。
Peoples [to] the mountain they call, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For the abundance of the seas they suck, And hidden things hidden in the sand.
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 of Gad he said: — Blessed of the Enlarger [is] Gad, As a lioness he doth tabernacle, And hath torn the arm — also the crown!
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 provideth the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he cometh [with] the heads of the people; The righteousness of Jehovah he hath done, And His judgments with Israel.
22 论但说： 但为小狮子， 从巴珊跳出来。
And of Dan he said: — Dan [is] a lion's whelp; he doth leap 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 of Naphtali he said: — O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, West and south possess thou.
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。
And of Asher he said: — Blessed with sons [is] Asher, Let him be accepted by his brethren, And dipping in oil his foot.
25 你的门闩是铜的，铁的。 你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。
Iron and brass [are] thy shoes, And as thy days — thy strength.
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 none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens in thy help, And in His excellency the skies.
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。
A habitation [is] the eternal God, And beneath [are] arms age-during. And He casteth out from thy presence the enemy, and saith, 'Destroy!'
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。
And Israel doth tabernacle [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] unto a land of corn and wine; Also His heavens drop down 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。
O thy happiness, O Israel! who is like thee? A people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And He who [is] the sword of thine excellency: And thine enemies are subdued for thee, And thou on their high places dost tread.'
