Deuteronomy 33
1 This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced upon the Israelites before his death.
神の人モーセその死る前にイスラエルの子孫を祝せりその祝せし言は是のごとし云く
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.
ヱホバ、シナイより來りセイルより彼らにむかひて昇りバランの山より光明を發ちて出で千萬の聖者の中間よりして格りたまへりその右の手には輝やける火ありき
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—
ヱホバは民を愛したまふ其聖者は皆その手にあり皆その足下に坐りその言によりて起あがる
4 the law that Moses gave us, the possession of the assembly of Jacob.
モーセわれらに律法を命ぜり是はヤコブの會衆の產業たり
5 So the LORD became King in Jeshurun when the leaders of the people gathered, when the tribes of Israel came together.
民の首領等イスラエルの諸の支派あひ集れる時に彼はヱシユルンの中に王たりき
6 Let Reuben live and not die, nor his men be few.”
ルベンは生ん死はせじ然どその人數は寡少ならん
7 And concerning Judah he said: “O LORD, hear the cry of Judah and bring him to his people. With his own hands he defends his cause, but may You be a help against his foes.”
ユダにつきては斯いふヱホバよユダの聲を聽きこれをその民に引かへしたまへ彼はその手をもて己のために戰はん願くは汝これを助けてその敵にあたらしめたまへ
8 Concerning Levi he said: “Give Your Thummim to Levi and Your Urim to Your godly one, whom You tested at Massah and contested at the waters of Meribah.
レビについては言ふ汝のトンミムとウリムは汝の聖人に歸す汝かつてマツサにて彼を試みメリバの水の邊にてかれと爭へり
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.
彼はその父またはその母につきて言り我はこれを見ずと又彼は自己の兄弟を認ずまた自己の子等を顧みざりき是はなんぢの言に遵がひ汝の契約を守りてなり
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.
彼らは汝の式例をヤコブに敎へ汝の律法をイスラエルに敎へ又香を汝の鼻の前にそなへ燔祭を汝の壇の上にささぐ
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.”
ヱホバよ彼の所有を祝し彼が手の作爲を悦こびて納れたまへ又起てこれに逆らふ者とこれを惡む者との腰を摧きて復起あがることあたはざらしめたまへ
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.”
ベニヤミンについては言ふヱホバの愛する者安然にヱホバとともにあり日々にその庇護をかうむりてその肩の間に居ん
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,
ヨセフについては言ふ願くはその地ヱホバの祝福をかうむらんことを即ち天の寶物なる露淵の底なる水
14 with the bountiful harvest from the sun and the abundant yield of the seasons,
日によりて產する寶物月によりて生ずる寶物
15 with the best of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills,
古山の嶺の寶物老嶽の寶物
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.
地の寶物地の中の產物および柴の中に居たまひし者の恩惠などヨセフの首に臨みその兄弟と別になりたる者の頂に降らん
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.”
彼の牛の首出はその身に榮光ありてその角は兕の角のごとく之をもて國々の民を衝たふして直に地の四方の極にまで至る是はエフライムの萬々是はマナセの千々なり
18 Concerning Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your journeys, and Issachar, in your tents.
ゼブルンについては言ふゼブルンよ汝は外に出て快樂を得よイツサカルよ汝は家に居て快樂を得よ
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.”
彼らは國々の民を山に招き其處にて義の犠牲を献げん又海の中に盈る物を得て食ひ沙の中に蔵れたる物を得て食はん
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.
ガドについては言ふガドをして大ならしむる者は讃べき哉ガドは獅子のごとくに伏し腕と首の頂とを掻裂ん
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.”
彼は初穂の地を自己のために選べり其處には大將の分もこもれり彼は民の首領等とともに至りイスラエルとともにヱホバの公義と審判とをなこなへり
22 Concerning Dan he said: “Dan is a lion’s cub, leaping out of Bashan.”
ダンについては言ふダンは小獅子のごとくバシヤンより跳り出づ
23 Concerning Naphtali he said: “Naphtali is abounding with favor, full of the blessing of the LORD; he shall take possession of the sea and the south.”
ナフタリについては言ふナフタリよ汝は大に福祉をかうむりヱホバの恩惠にうるほふて西と南の部を獲ん
24 And concerning Asher he said: “May Asher be the most blessed of sons; may he be the most favored among his brothers and dip his foot in oil.
アセルについては言ふアセルは他の子等よりも幸福なりまた其兄弟等にこえて惠まれその足を膏の中に浸さん
25 May the bolts of your gate be iron and bronze, and may your strength match your days.”
汝の門閂は鐵のごとく銅のごとし汝の能力は汝が日々に需むるところに循はん
26 “There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, and the clouds in His majesty.
ヱシユルンよ全能の神のごとき者は外に無し是は天に乗て汝を助け雲に駕てその威光をあらはしたまふ
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!’
永久に在す神は住所なり下には永遠の腕あり敵人を汝の前より驅はらひて言たまふ滅ぼせよと
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.
イスラエルは安然に住をりヤコブの泉は穀と酒との多き地に獨り在らんその天はまた露をこれに降すべし
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.”
イスラエルよ汝は幸福なり誰か汝のごとくヱホバに救はれし民たらんヱホバは汝を護る楯汝の榮光の劍なり汝の敵は汝に諂ひ服せん汝はかれらの高處を踐ん
