1 This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced upon the Israelites before his death.
Pathen kah hlang Moses loh a duek hlanah tahae kah yoethennah he Israel ca rhoek taengah yoethen la a paek.
2 He said: “The LORD came from Sinai and dawned upon us from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran and came with myriads of holy ones, with flaming fire at His right hand.
BOEIPA tah Sinai lamloh halo tih Seir lamloh thoeng. Amih ham Paran tlang lamloh a sae pah tih a bantang lamloh hlangcim a thawngsang neh thoeng. Amih ham olkhan hmai a khuen.
3 Surely You love the people; all the holy ones are in Your hand, and they sit down at Your feet; each receives Your words—
Na kut dongkah a hlangcim boeih loh pilnam a lungnah tih, na oluennah aka duen loh na kho taengah ngolhlung uh.
4 the law that Moses gave us, the possession of the assembly of Jacob.
Jakob vangpum kah khoh la olkhueng he, Moses loh mamih taengah ng'uen coeng.
5 So the LORD became King in Jeshurun when the leaders of the people gathered, when the tribes of Israel came together.
Jeshurun ah manghai la a om vaengah pilnam kah a lu rhoek loh Israel koca rhoek taengla tingtun uh.
6 Let Reuben live and not die, nor his men be few.”

9 He said of his father and mother, ‘I do not consider them.’ He disregarded his brothers and did not know his own sons, for he kept Your word and maintained Your covenant.
“A manu neh a napa ka phoe pawh,” a ti tih, a manuca khaw a hmat mueh la a ca kah a ca due ming voel pawh. Tedae na olthui te a ngaithuen uh tih na paipi te a kueinah uh.
10 He will teach Your ordinances to Jacob and Your law to Israel; he will set incense before You and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.
Nang kah laitloeknah te Jakob ham neh, na olkhueng te Israel ham a thuinuet pa uh. Na hmai ah hmueihul neh, na hmueihtuk ah boeih a khueh uh.
11 Bless his substance, O LORD, and accept the work of his hands. Smash the loins of those who rise against him, and of his foes so they can rise no more.”
Aw BOEIPA anih kah a thadueng te yoethen pae lamtah, a kut dongkah a bisai khaw uum pah. Anih aka thoh thil kah a cinghen te phop pah lamtah, a lunguet rhoek khaw thoo uh boel saeh.
12 Concerning Benjamin he said: “May the beloved of the LORD rest secure in Him; God shields him all day long, and upon His shoulders he rests.”

13 Concerning Joseph he said: “May his land be blessed by the LORD with the precious dew from heaven above and the deep waters that lie beneath,
Joseph kawng dongah, “A khohmuen te BOEIPA loh vaan cangtham, buemtui, tuidung laedil kah aka kol,
14 with the bountiful harvest from the sun and the abundant yield of the seasons,
khomik dongkah cangvuei cangtham, hla dongkah hicil cangtham,
15 with the best of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills,
hlamat kah tlang som, kumhal som kah cangtham nen khaw,
16 with the choice gifts of the land and everything in it, and with the favor of Him who dwelt in the burning bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph and crown the brow of the prince of his brothers.
diklai cangtham a soeprhaep nen khaw yoethen a paek. Te dongah tangpuem khuikah aka om kolonah te, Joseph lu neh a manuca hlangcoelh rhoek kah a luki ah na cuuk sak.
17 His majesty is like a firstborn bull, and his horns are like those of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even to the ends of the earth. Such are the myriads of Ephraim, and such are the thousands of Manasseh.”
A rhuepomnah vaito cacuek neh a cung ki loh pilnam neh Ephraim a thawng a sang, Manasseh a thawng a sang te, diklai khobawt duela a thoeh rhenten ni,” a ti.
18 Concerning Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your journeys, and Issachar, in your tents.
Zebulun kawng dongah khaw, “Zebulun nang na coe tih na dap khuiah Issakhar a om te na kohoe sak lah.
19 They will call the peoples to a mountain; there they will offer sacrifices of righteousness. For they will feast on the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.”
Tlang kah pilnam rhoek te khue uh pahoi lamtah, duengnah hmueih nawn uh saeh. Te vaengah tuitunli khuehtawn neh laivin khuiah a thuh tih, a tung te cop uh saeh,” a ti.
20 Concerning Gad he said: “Blessed is he who enlarges the domain of Gad! He lies down like a lion and tears off an arm or a head.
Gad kawng dongah khaw, “Sathuengnu bangla phuel uh tih, aka om Gad loh a yoethen tih, a lu pataeng a ban neh a phuet.
21 He chose the best land for himself, because a ruler’s portion was reserved for him there. He came with the leaders of the people; he administered the LORD’s justice and His ordinances for Israel.”
A tanglue te amah ham a sawt tih, pilnam kah a lu rhoek halo uh vaengah, khamyai aka taem te sul a bung thil. BOEIPA kah duengnah neh Israel taengah, laitloeknah a saii,” a ti.

Asher kawng dongah khaw, “Asher koca rhoek loh a yoethen. A manuca rhoek taengah a kolo om saeh lamtah a kho te situi khuiah nuem saeh,” a ti.
25 May the bolts of your gate be iron and bronze, and may your strength match your days.”
Thicung neh rhohum he na thohkalh la om lamtah, na khohnin bangla na thaa om saeh.
26 “There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, and the clouds in His majesty.
Vaan ke a ngol thil tih, nang ham bomkung la om. Te dongah a hoemnah neh khomong dongah aka om, Jeshurun kah Pathen bang he a om moenih.
27 The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy before you, giving the command, ‘Destroy him!’
Hlamat Pathen kah a khuisaek neh, kumhal bantha hmuiah ah tah, thunkha khaw na mikhmuh lamkah a haek vetih, mitmoeng sak a ti bitni.
28 So Israel dwells securely; the fountain of Jacob lives untroubled in a land of grain and new wine, where even the heavens drip with dew.
Te vaengah Jakob kah a mik Israel bueng ni, cangpai neh misur thai kho ah ngaikhuek kho a sak vetih, vaan buemtui long khaw a tlan thil eh.
29 Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is the shield that protects you, the sword in which you boast. Your enemies will cower before you, and you shall trample their high places.”
Israel nang tah na yoethen pai. Nang kah bomkung photling neh na hoemnah cunghang, BOEIPA loh nang bangla u bang pilnam nim a khang coeng. Te dongah na thunkha loh nang hmaiah mai a tum uh vetih amih kah hmuensang soah na cangdoek bitni.
