5 Mosebog 33
1 Og denne er den Velsignelse, med hvilken Mose den Guds Mand velsignede Israels Børn, førend han døde.
Now this is the blessing which Moses, the man of God, gave to the children of Israel before his death.
2 Og han sagde: Herren er kommen fra Sinai og er opgangen fra Sejr for dem, han aabenbarede sig herlig fra Parans Bjerg og kom fra de hellige Titusinder; ved hans højre Haand var en brændende Lov til dem.
He said, The Lord came from Sinai, dawning on them from Seir; shining out from Mount Paran, coming from Meribath Kadesh: from his right hand went flames of fire: his wrath made waste the peoples.
3 Visseligen, han elsker Folkene; alle hans hellige ere i din Haand; og de skulle sætte sig ved din Fod, annamme af dine Ord.
All his holy ones are at his hand; they go at his feet; they are lifted up on his wings.
4 En Lov bød Mose os, en Ejendom for Jakobs Forsamling.
Moses gave us a law, a heritage for the people of Jacob.

7 Og dette om Juda: Og han sagde: Hør, Herre! Judas Røst, og lad ham komme til sit Folk; med sine Hænder strider han for det, og vær du en Hjælp mod hans Fjender!
And this is the blessing of Judah: he said, Give ear, O Lord, to the voice of Judah and make him one with his people: let your hands take up his cause, and be his help against his attackers.
8 Og han sagde om Levi: Dine Thummim og dine Urim høre din fromme Mand til, hvem du fristede i Massa, med hvem du kivedes ved Meribas Vand,
And of Levi he said, Give your Thummim to Levi and let the Urim be with your loved one, whom you put to the test at Massah, with whom you were angry at the waters of Meribah;
9 ham, som sagde til sin Fader og til sin Moder: Jeg saa ham ikke, og han kendte ikke sine Brødre og vidste ikke af sine Sønner. Thi de holdt dit Ord og bevarede din Pagt;
Who said of his father, Who is he? and of his mother, I have not seen her; he kept himself separate from his brothers and had no knowledge of his children: for they have given ear to your word and kept your agreement.
10 de skulle lære Jakob dine Bud og Israel din Lov; de skulle sætte Røgelse for dit Ansigt og Heloffer paa dit Alter.
They will be the teachers of your decisions to Jacob and of your law to Israel: the burning of perfumes before you will be their right, and the ordering of burned offerings on your altar.
11 Herre! velsign hans Kraft og lad hans Hænders Gerning behage dig; knus deres Lænder, som rejse sig imod ham, og deres, som hade ham, saa at de ikke kunne staa op.
Let your blessing, O Lord, be on his substance, may the work of his hands be pleasing to you: may those who take up arms against him and all who have hate for him, be wounded through the heart, never to be lifted up again.

13 Og han sagde om Josef: Hans Land være velsignet af Herren, med Himmelens kostelige Gave, med Duggen, og af Dybet, som ligger her nedenunder,
And of Joseph he said, Let the blessing of the Lord be on his land; for the good things of heaven on high, and the deep waters flowing under the earth,
14 med den kostelige Gave, der bringes frem ved Solen, og med den kostelige Gave, der drives frem ved Maanens Skifter,
And the good things of the fruits of the sun, and the good things of the growth of the moons,
15 fra de ældgamle Bjerges Top, og med de evige Højes kostelige Gave,
And the chief things of the oldest mountains, and the good things of the eternal hills,
16 med Jordens og dens Fyldes kostelige Gave, og med Naade fra ham, som boede i Tornebusken; den skal komme over Josefs Hoved og over hans Isse, han er en Fyrste iblandt sine Brødre.
The good things of the earth and all its wealth, the good pleasure of him who was seen in the burning tree: may they come on the head of Joseph, on the head of him who was prince among his brothers.
17 Den førstefødte af hans Øksne har Højhed og Horn som Enhjørningens Horn; med dem skal han stange Folkene til Hobe indtil Jordens Ende; og dette er de ti Tusinde af Efraim, og dette er de Tusinde at Manasse.
He is a young ox, glory is his; his horns are the horns of the mountain ox, with which all peoples will be wounded, even to the ends of the earth: they are the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh.
18 Og han sagde om Sebulon: Glæd dig, Sebulon, i din Udfart, og du Isaskar, i dine Pauluner!

19 De skulle kalde Folkene til Bjerget, der skulle de ofre Retfærdigheds Ofre; thi de skulle suge til sig Havets Overflødighed og Sandets skjulte Skatte.
They will send out the word for the people to come to the mountain, taking there the offerings of righteousness: for the store of the seas will be theirs, and the secret wealth of the sand.
20 Og han sagde om Gad: Velsignet være den, som udbreder Gad! som en Løve hviler han, og han røver Arm, ja Isse med.
Of Gad he said, A blessing be on him who makes wide the limits of Gad: he takes his rest like a she-lion, taking for himself the arm and the crown of the head.
21 Og han udsaa sig den første Lod, thi der var en Førers Lod opbevaret; og han kom til Folkets Øverster, han udøvede Herrens Retfærdighed og hans Befalinger imod Israel.

24 Og han sagde om Aser: Aser være velsignet fremfor Sønnerne, han være benaadet blandt sine Brødre og dyppe sin Fod i Olie!

25 Af Jern og Kobber være dine Portslaaer, og som dine Dage din Hvile.
Your shoes will be iron and brass; and as your days, so may your work be.
26 Der er ingen som Gud, o Jeskurun! han, som farer paa Himmelen til din Hjælp og med sin Højhed paa de øverste Skyer.
No other is like the God of Jeshurun, coming on the heavens to your help, and letting his glory be seen in the skies.
27 Den evige Gud er en Bolig, og hernede ere de evige Arme; og han har uddrevet Fjenden for dit Ansigt og sagt: Ødelæg!
The God of your fathers is your safe resting-place, and under you are his eternal arms: driving out the forces of your haters from before you, he said, Let destruction overtake them.
28 Og Israel bor tryggelig for sig selv; Jakobs Øje er til et Land med Korn og Vin; ja hans Himle skulle dryppe med Dug.
And Israel is living in peace, the fountain of Jacob by himself, in a land of grain and wine, with dew dropping from the heavens.
29 Salig er du, Israel! hvo er som du, et Folk, frelst i Herren, han er din Hjælps Skjold og din Højheds Sværd! og dine Fjender skulle smigre for dig, og du skal træde paa deres Høje.
Happy are you, O Israel: who is like you, a people whose saviour is the Lord, whose help is your cover, whose sword is your strength! All those who are against you will put themselves under your rule, and your feet will be planted on their high places.
