申命記 33
1 以下是神人摩西在未死之先為以色列人所祝的福：
And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,
2 他說：耶和華從西奈而來， 從西珥向他們顯現， 從巴蘭山發出光輝， 從萬萬聖者中來臨， 從他右手為百姓傳出烈火的律法。
and he says: “YHWH has come from Sinai, And has risen from Seir for them; He has shone from Mount Paran, And has come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [came] a fiery law [[or a flaming fire]] for them.
3 他疼愛百姓； 眾聖徒都在他手中。 他們坐在他的腳下， 領受他的言語。
Indeed, He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in Your hand, And they sat down at Your foot, [Each] lifts up Your words.
4 摩西將律法傳給我們， 作為雅各會眾的產業。
Moses has commanded a law for us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob.
5 百姓的眾首領， 以色列的各支派， 一同聚會的時候， 耶和華在耶書崙中為王。
And He is King in Yeshurun, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!
6 願呂便存活，不致死亡； 願他人數不致稀少。
Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be an [incalculable] number.
7 為猶大祝福說： 求耶和華俯聽猶大的聲音， 引導他歸於本族； 他曾用手為自己爭戰， 你必幫助他攻擊敵人。
And this [is] for Judah, and he says: Hear, O YHWH, the voice of Judah, And You bring him in to his people; His hand has striven for him, And You are a help from his adversaries.
8 論利未說： 耶和華啊，你的土明和烏陵 都在你的虔誠人那裏。 你在瑪撒曾試驗他， 在米利巴水與他爭論。
And of Levi he said: Your Perfections and your Lights [are] for your pious one, Whom You have tried in Massah, You strive with him at the waters of Meribah;
9 他論自己的父母說： 我未曾看見； 他也不承認弟兄， 也不認識自己的兒女。 這是因利未人遵行你的話， 謹守你的約。
Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And he has not discerned his brothers, And he has not known his sons; For they have observed Your saying, And they keep Your covenant.
10 他們要將你的典章教訓雅各， 將你的律法教訓以色列。 他們要把香焚在你面前， 把全牲的燔祭獻在你的壇上。
They teach Your judgments to Jacob, And Your law to Israel; They put incense in Your nose, And whole burnt-offering on Your altar.
11 求耶和華降福在他的財物上， 悅納他手裏所辦的事。 那些起來攻擊他和恨惡他的人， 願你刺透他們的腰， 使他們不得再起來。
Bless, O YHWH, his strength, And accept the work of his hands, Strike the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him—that they do not rise!
12 論便雅憫說： 耶和華所親愛的必同耶和華安然居住； 耶和華終日遮蔽他，也住在他兩肩之中。
Of Benjamin he said: The beloved of YHWH dwells confidently by Him, Covering him over every day; Indeed, he dwells between His shoulders.
13 論約瑟說： 願他的地蒙耶和華賜福， 得天上的寶物、甘露， 以及地裏所藏的泉水；
And of Joseph he said: His land [is] blessed [by] YHWH, By a precious thing of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath,
14 得太陽所曬熟的美果， 月亮所養成的寶物；
And by a precious thing—fruits of the sun, And by a precious thing—cast forth by the months,
15 得上古之山的至寶， 永世之嶺的寶物；
And by a chief thing—of the ancient mountains, And by a precious thing—of the continuous heights,
16 得地和其中所充滿的寶物， 並住荊棘中上主的喜悅。 願這些福都歸於約瑟的頭上， 歸於那與弟兄迥別之人的頂上。
And by a precious thing—of earth and its fullness, 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 brothers.
17 他為牛群中頭生的，有威嚴； 他的角是野牛的角， 用以牴觸萬邦，直到地極。 這角是以法蓮的萬萬， 瑪拿西的千千。
His splendor [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a wild ox; With them he pushes the peoples Altogether to the ends of the earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
18 論西布倫說： 西布倫哪，你出外可以歡喜。 以薩迦啊，在你帳棚裏可以快樂。
And of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your going out, And, O Issachar, in your tents;
19 他們要將列邦召到山上， 在那裏獻公義的祭； 因為他們要吸取海裏的豐富， 並沙中所藏的珍寶。
They call peoples [to] the mountain, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For they suck up the abundance of the seas, And hidden things hidden in the sand.
20 論迦得說： 使迦得擴張的應當稱頌！ 迦得住如母獅； 他撕裂膀臂，連頭頂也撕裂。
And of Gad he said: Blessed is he who is enlarging Gad, He dwells as a lioness, And has torn the arm—also the crown!
21 他為自己選擇頭一段地， 因在那裏有設立律法者的分存留。 他與百姓的首領同來； 他施行耶和華的公義 和耶和華與以色列所立的典章。
And he provides the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he comes [with] the heads of the people; He has done the righteousness of YHWH, And His judgments with Israel.
22 論但說： 但為小獅子， 從巴珊跳出來。
And of Dan he said: Dan [is] a lion’s whelp; He leaps from Bashan.
23 論拿弗他利說： 拿弗他利啊，你足沾恩惠， 滿得耶和華的福， 可以得西方和南方為業。
And of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of YHWH, Possess [the] west and [the] south.
24 論亞設說： 願亞設享受多子的福樂， 得他弟兄的喜悅， 可以把腳蘸在油中。
And of Asher he said: Asher [is] blessed with sons, Let him be accepted by his brothers, And dipping his foot in oil.
25 你的門閂是銅的，鐵的。 你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。
Iron and bronze [are] your shoes, And as your days—your strength.
26 耶書崙哪，沒有能比上帝的。 他為幫助你，乘在天空， 顯其威榮，駕行穹蒼。
[There is] none like the God of Yeshurun, Riding the heavens to your help, And in His excellence the skies.
27 永生的上帝是你的居所； 他永久的膀臂在你以下。 他在你前面攆出仇敵， 說：毀滅吧。
The eternal God [is] a habitation, And beneath [are] continuous arms. And He casts out the enemy from your presence and says, Destroy!
28 以色列安然居住； 雅各的本源獨居五穀新酒之地。 他的天也滴甘露。
And Israel dwells [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] to a land of grain and wine; Also His heavens drop down dew.
29 以色列啊，你是有福的！ 誰像你這蒙耶和華所拯救的百姓呢？ 他是你的盾牌，幫助你， 是你威榮的刀劍。 你的仇敵必投降你； 你必踏在他們的高處。
O your blessedness, O Israel! Who is like you? A people saved by YHWH, The shield of your help, And He who [is] the sword of your excellence! And your enemies are subdued for you, And you tread on their high places.”
