Rapar Mar Chik 33
1 Magi e gweth mane Musa ngʼat Nyasaye owacho ne jo-Israel kapok otho.
And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,
2 Nowachonegi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye nobiro koa Sinai mochopo irgi koa Seir, mi ofwenyore koa e got Paran. Nobiro gi oganda maler kowuok yo milambo e kor gode mage.
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 En adier ni in ema ihero ji, jomaler duto ginie lweti. Giduto gikulore e nyimi kendo kuomi ema gikawe chike,
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 ma gin chike mane Musa omiyowa, mondo obed mwandu mag joka Jakobo.
A law hath Moses commanded us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob.
5 En ema ne ruoth mar Jeshurun, ka jotend oganda ne ochokore, kaachiel gi dhout Israel.”
And he is in Jeshurun king, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!
6 “Jo-Reuben mondo obed mangima kendo kik githo, to bende kik gibed manok.”
Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be a number.
7 Kuom jo-Juda, Musa nowuoyoe kama: “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, winj ywak jo-Juda; yie mondo iduog-gi ir jogi. Bednegi tekregi ma gisirorego kendo ikonygi kuom wasikgi!”
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 Kuom jo-Lawi, Musa nowuoyoe kama: “Nimiyo nyikwa Lawi ombulu miluongo ni Thumim gi Urim mondo gingʼego dwaroni nikech gin joma tiyoni gadiera. Ne imiyogi tembe kama iluongo ni Masa kendo sokni mag Meriba mi inwangʼo ni gin jo-adiera.
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 Nowachone wuon kod min ni, ‘Aonge gi geno kodgi.’ Ne ok oyie gi jowetegi kata yie kod nyithinde owuon, to ne orito wecheni kendo rito singruokni.
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 Negipuonjo joka Jakobo chikeni kendo jo-Israel bende negipuonjo wecheni. Ne giwangʼo ubani mangʼwe ngʼar kendo negitimoni misengini miwangʼo pep ewi kendo mar misango.
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 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, gwedh riekogi duto kendo ibed mamor gi tij lwetegi. Tiek joma wasikgi ma monjogi; kendo tiekgi chuth ma ok ginichak gibed gi teko.”
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 Kuom jo-Benjamin, Musa nowuoyoe kama: “Weuru joma oluoro Jehova Nyasaye obed gi kwe, nimar oritogi kinde duto, bende ngʼatno ma Jehova Nyasaye ohero yudo yweyo kuome.”
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 Kuom joka Josef, Musa nowuoyo kama, Mad Jehova Nyasaye gwedh tich lwetgi kamiyogo koth koa e polo malo, kaachiel gi pi manie bwo lowo,
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 gi olembe mabeyo duto ma chiengʼ nyalo miyo dongo kaachiel gi gik mabeyo duto mapichni;
And by precious things — fruits of the sun, And by precious things — cast forth by the moons,
15 kod mich mabeyo mawuok e gode machon, kod kuonde ma omew mag gode manyaka chiengʼ;
And by chief things — of the ancient mountains, And by precious things — of the age-during heights,
16 kod mich mabeyo duto mag piny to gi gik moko duto manie iye gi ngʼwono mar ngʼat modak e bungu maliel. Gwethgi duto obedi ewi joka Josef, ngʼat mane oyier kuom owetene.
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 Joka Josef nochal gi rwath makayo, tungene nochal mana ka tung jowi manie thim, ma obiro chuowogo ogendini moriembgi nyaka tunge piny duto. Tungego gin ji alufu apar mag Efraim kod ji alufu apar mag jo-Manase.
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 Kuom jo-Zebulun, Musa nowuoyoe kama: “Un jo-Zubulun, beduru mamor e seche muwuok kudhi oko, to un bende jo-Isakar beduru ei hembeu.
And of Zebulun he said: — Rejoice, O Zebulun, in thy going out, And, O Issachar, in thy tents;
19 Gibiro luongo ji e gode kendo kanyo ema negi timie misengini makare; ginitim nyasi gi mwandu mabeyo miyudo e dho nam kod gik mabeyo mopondo e kwoyo.”
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 Kuom joka Gad, Musa nowuoyo kama: “Ogwedh ngʼat mayaro tongʼ Gad! Gad odak kanyo ka sibuor, koyiecho bat kata wi gima omako.
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 Negiyiero bath koma ber moloyo mondo obed margi, nikech gin ema nopognegi migap jatelo. Negibiro ir jatend ji, mi gingʼado bura makare mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo kumo jo-Israel.”
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 Kuom joka Dan, Musa nowuoyoe kama: “Dan to en nyathi sibuor mawuok Bashan.”
And of Dan he said: — Dan [is] a lion's whelp; he doth leap from Bashan.
23 Kuom joka Naftali, Musa nowuoyoe kama: “Dhood Naftali oum gi ngʼwono mangʼeny mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo otingʼo gweth mare, ginikaw piny mantie yo milambo mar nam.”
And of Naphtali he said: — O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, West and south possess thou.
24 Kuom joka Asher, Musa nowuoyoe kama: Wuowi mogwedhi e kind yawuowi en Asher, we oyud pak e kind owetene, kendo olwok tiendene gi mo.
And of Asher he said: — Blessed with sons [is] Asher, Let him be accepted by his brethren, And dipping in oil his foot.
25 Nyororo mar rangeyeni nobed mag chuma kod nyinyo kendo tekoni nomedre ndalo duto mag ngimani.
Iron and brass [are] thy shoes, And as thy days — thy strength.
26 “Onge ngʼama romo gi Nyasach Jeshurun, mawuotho e kor polo e duongʼne, mondo okonyi.
There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens in thy help, And in His excellency the skies.
27 Nyasaye manyaka chiengʼ e kar konyruoku kendo tekone osiko manyaka chiengʼ. Obiro riembo wasiku duto ka uneno kowacho ni, ‘Tiekgiuru!’
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 Kuom mano Israel nodag kende gi kwe; bende nyithind Jakobo norit maber, e piny ma cham nitie kod divai manyien, kama thoo moa e polo lwarie gokinyi.
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 Yaye jo-Israel, un joma ogwedhi! En ngʼatno machal kodu, oganda mores gi Jehova Nyasaye? En e okumbani kendo jaresni kendo en e liganglau mar duongʼ. Wasiku nobed gi luoro e nyimu, kendo unumuk kuondegi motegno mag pondo.”
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.'
