Deuteronomy 33
1 This is the blessing, with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
E esta é a bênção com a qual abençoou Moisés homem de Deus aos filhos de Israel, antes que morresse.
2 And he said: “The Lord went forth from Sinai, and he arose for us from Seir. He appeared from Mount Paran, and thousands of holy ones were with him. The fiery law was in his right hand.
E disse: O SENHOR veio de Sinai, E de Seir lhes iluminou; Resplandeceu do monte de Parã, E veio com dez mil santos: À sua direita a lei de fogo para eles.
3 He loved the people; all the holy ones are in his hand. And those who approach his feet shall receive from his doctrine.
Ainda amou os povos; Todos seus santos em tua mão: Eles também se chegaram a teus pés: Receberam de teus ditos.
4 Moses instructed us in the law, the inheritance of the multitude of Jacob.
Lei nos mandou Moisés, Herança à congregação de Jacó.

E foi rei em Jesurum, quando se congregaram os chefes do povo com as tribos de Israel.
6 Let Ruben live, and not die, and may he be small in number.”
Viva Rúben, e não morra; sejam seus homens em número.
7 This is the blessing of Judah. “Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, and lead him to his people. His hands shall fight for him, and he shall be his helper against his adversaries.”
E esta bênção para Judá. Disse assim: Ouve, ó SENHOR, a voz de Judá, e leva-o ao seu povo; suas mãos lhe bastem, e tu sejas ajuda contra seus inimigos.
8 Likewise, to Levi he said: “Your perfection and your doctrine are for your holy man, whom you have proven by temptation, and whom you have judged at the Waters of Contradiction.
E a Levi disse: Teu Tumim e teu Urim, com teu bom homem ao qual tentaste em Massá, e lhe fizeste brigar nas águas da briga;
9 He has said to his father and to his mother, ‘I do not know you,’ and to his brothers, ‘I will disregard you.’ And they have not known their own sons. Such as these have kept your word and have observed your covenant:
O que disse a seu pai e a sua mãe: Nunca os vi: nem conheceu a seus irmãos, nem conheceu a seus filhos; por isso eles guardarão as tuas palavras, e observarão o teu pacto.
10 your judgments, O Jacob, and your law, O Israel. They shall place incense before your fury and a holocaust upon your altar.
Eles ensinarão teus juízos a Jacó, e tua lei a Israel; porão o incenso diante de ti, e holocaustos sobre o teu altar.
11 O Lord, bless his strength, and receive the works of his hands. Strike the backs of his enemies, and do not let those who hate him rise up.”
Abençoa, ó SENHOR, o que fizerem, e recebe com agrado a obra de suas mãos; fere os lombos de seus inimigos, e dos que lhe odiarem; para que nunca se levantem.
12 And to Benjamin he said: “The most beloved of the Lord will live confidently in him. He shall remain all day long, as if in a bridal chamber, and he shall rest amid her arms.”
E a Benjamim disse: O amado do SENHOR habitará confiante próximo dele; Ele o cobrirá sempre, E entre seus ombros morará.
13 Likewise, to Joseph he said: “His land shall be from the blessing of the Lord, from the fruits of heaven, and from the dew, and from the abyss which lies below,
E a José disse: Bendita do SENHOR [seja] a sua terra, com as dádivas dos céus, com o orvalho, e com o abismo que jaz abaixo,
14 from the fruits of the crops under the sun and the moon,
com excelentes frutos do sol, e com os excelentes produtos de cada lua,
15 from the heights of the ancient mountains, from the fruits of the everlasting hills,
e com o que há de mais excelente dos montes antigos, e com os excelentes produtos das colinas eternas,
16 and from the fruits of the earth with all its plenitude. May the blessing of him who appeared in the bush, settle upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of the Nazarite among his brothers.
e com os excelentes produtos da terra e sua plenitude; e que a benevolência daquele que habitou na sarça venha sobre a cabeça de José, e sobre ao topo da cabeça do que foi separado dos seus irmãos.
17 His excellence is like that of a first-born bull. His horns are like the horns of a rhinoceros; he shall brandish these against the Gentiles, even to the ends of the earth. These are the multitudes of Ephraim, and these the thousands of Manasseh.”
Ele é preeminente como o primogênito de seu touro, e suas pontas, chifres de boi selvagem; com eles chifrará os povos juntamente até os confins da terra; e estes são as dezenas de milhares de Efraim, e estes os milhares de Manassés.
18 And to Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your departure, and Issachar, in your tabernacles.
E a Zebulom disse: Alegra-te, Zebulom, quando saíres; e tu Issacar, em tuas tendas.
19 They shall summon the peoples to the mountain. There, they shall immolate the victims of justice, who feed on the flood of the sea, as if on milk, and on the hidden treasures of the sands.”
Eles chamarão os povos ao monte; ali oferecerão sacrifícios de justiça; porque sugarão a abundância dos mares, e os tesouros escondidos da areia.
20 And to Gad he said: “Blessed is Gad in his breadth. He has rested like a lion, and he has seized the arm and the top of the head.
E a Gade disse: Bendito o que fez alargar a Gade: Como leão habitará, e arrebatará braço e testa.
21 And he has seen his own pre-eminence, which his teacher has stored up as his portion. He was with the princes of the people, and he accomplished the justices of the Lord, and his judgment with Israel.”
E ele se proveu da primeira parte, porque ali uma porção do legislador foi-lhe reservada, e veio na dianteira do povo; executará a justiça do SENHOR, e seus juízos com Israel.
22 Likewise, to Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion. He shall flow plentifully from Bashan.”
E a Dã disse: Dã [é] um leão jovem; saltará desde Basã.
23 And to Naphtali he said: “Naphtali shall enjoy abundance, and he shall be full of the blessings of the Lord. He shall possess the sea and the Meridian.”
E a Naftali disse: Naftali, saciado de benevolência, e cheio da bênção do SENHOR, possui o ocidente e o sul,
24 Likewise, to Asher he said: “Let Asher be blessed with sons. Let him be pleasing to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.
E a Aser disse: Bendito [seja] Aser em filhos; agradável será aos seus irmãos, e molhará em azeite o seu pé.
25 His shoe shall be of iron and of brass. As were the days of your youth, so also shall be your old age.
ferro e bronze [será] o teu calçado, e tua força [será] como os teus dias.
26 There is no other god like the God of the most righteous one. He who rides upon the heavens is your helper. His magnificence scatters the clouds.
Não há como o Deus de Jesurum, montado sobre os céus para tua ajuda, e sobre as nuvens com sua grandeza.
27 His habitation is above, and the everlasting arms are below. He shall cast out the enemy before your face, and he shall say: ‘Be utterly broken!’
O eterno Deus é o teu refúgio, e abaixo os braços eternos; ele expulsará de diante de ti o inimigo, e dirá: Destrói.
28 Israel shall live in confidence and alone, as the eye of Jacob in a land of grain and of wine; and the heavens shall be misty with dew.
E Israel, fonte de Jacó, habitará confiante sozinho na terra do grão e do vinho; também seus céus destilarão orvalho.
29 Blessed are you, O Israel. Who is like you, the people who are saved by the Lord? He is the shield of your assistance and the sword of your glory. Your enemies will refuse to acknowledge you, and so you shall tread upon their necks.”
Bem-aventurado és tu, ó Israel! Quem é como tu, povo salvo pelo SENHOR, o escudo de teu socorro, e a espada da tua excelência? Por isso os teus inimigos serão subjugados, e tu pisarás sobre as suas costas.
