Deuteronomy 33
1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
這是天主的人，梅瑟死前賜予以四色列子民的祝福。
2 And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai, And rose up from Seir unto them; He shone forth from mount Paran, And he came from the myriads of the sanctuary; From his right hand [went forth] a law of fire for them.
他說：「上主由西乃而來，從色依爾光照他的百姓，由帕蘭山射出光輝，從卡德士的默黎巴前進，由他的右邊有烈火發出。
3 Yea, he loveth the peoples, All his saints are in thy hand, And they sit down at thy feet; Each receiveth of thy words.
你實在愛你的人民，眾聖者都在你手中；他們俯伏在你腳前，領受你的教導。
4 Moses commanded us a law, The inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
梅瑟給我們立定法律，作為雅各伯會眾的產業時，
5 And he was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people And the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
人民的首領與以色列支派會合時，上主在耶叔戎中作了王。
6 Let Reuben live, and not die; And let his men be few.
願勒烏本生存，不至滅亡! 願他的人數不再減少! 」
7 And this of Judah; and he said, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And bring him unto his people; May his hands strive for them; And be thou a help to him against his oppressors.
他論及猶大這樣說：「上主! 願你俯聽猶大的聲音，領他重歸自己的民族；以你的手為他交戰，協助他抵抗他的仇敵! 」
8 And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are for thy godly one, Whom thou didst prove at Massah, With whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
論及肋未說：「願你將你的「突明」賜給肋未，將你的「烏陵」，賜給對你虔誠的人，就是你在瑪撒曾試探過，在默黎巴水旁曾考驗過的人，
9 Who said to his father and to his mother, I see him not, And he acknowledged not his brethren, And knew not his own children; For they have observed thy word, And kept thy covenant.
也就是那些論及自己的父母說：我沒有顧及他們，對自己的兄弟不加重視，對自己的子女也漠不關心的人! 他們只遵守你的話，持守你的盟約。
10 They shall teach Jacob thine ordinances, And Israel thy law: They shall put incense before thy nostrils, And whole burnt-offering upon thine altar.
他們要將你的誡命教給雅各伯，將你的法律授給以色列；在你面前獻上馨香，在祭壇上獻上全燔祭。
11 Bless, Jehovah, his substance! And let the work of his hands please thee; Crush the loins of his adversaries, And of them that hate him, that they may never rise again!
上主! 願你祝福他的勇力，悅納他手中的作為；對反抗他的人，願你打斷他們的腰，使惱恨他的人，再也不得起立! 」
12 Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Jehovah, — he shall dwell in safety by him; He will cover him all the day long, And dwell between his shoulders.
論及本雅明說：「上主所鍾愛的，他必安居樂業；至高者日日庇護他，住在他兩肩之間。」
13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Jehovah be his land! By the precious things of the heavens, By the dew, and by the deep that lieth beneath,
論及若瑟說：「願他的地蒙受上主的祝福! 願天上甘露，地下深藏的淵泉，
14 And by the precious fruits of the sun, And by the precious things put forth by the months,
因太陽而出產的美果，靠月亮而出產的寶物，
15 And by the best things of the ancient mountains, And by the precious things of the everlasting hills,
太古山岳的珍品，永恒丘陵的美物，
16 And by the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof. And let the good will of him that dwelt in the bush Come upon the head of Joseph, Upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
地上的寶物及其富藏，以及住在荊棘叢中者的恩惠，都臨到若瑟頭上，降在兄弟中為首者的頭頂上!
17 His majesty is as the firstling of his ox; And his horns are as the horns of a buffalo. With them shall he push the peoples Together to the ends of the earth. These are the myriads of Ephraim, And these are the thousands of Manasseh.
他的健壯有如頭胎的公牛，他的雙角像是野牛的雙角，用以抵觸萬民，直到地極。這是厄弗辣因的萬軍，即是默納協的勁旅。」
18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; And thou, Issachar, in thy tents!
論及則步隆說：「則步隆! 你要在旅途中喜樂；至於你、依撒加爾! 你要在帳幕內歡樂。
19 They shall invite [the] peoples to the mountain; There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness; For they will suck the abundance of the seas, And the hidden treasures of the sand.
他們要邀請人民上山，在那裏奉獻應獻的祭祀，因為他們要吸收海洋的富饒，沙中潛藏的珠寶。」
20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad! As a lion doth he dwell, and teareth the arm, even the top of the head.
論及加得說：「那使加得擴張的，應受讚美! 他臥下彷彿一隻母獅，撕裂了人的手臂和頭顱。
21 And he provided the first part for himself, For there was reserved the portion of the lawgiver; And he came with the heads of the people; The justice of Jehovah and his judgments Hath he executed with Israel.
他為自己選取了為首的一分，因為那原是為首領保留的一分。他走在人民之前，執行了上主的法令，和他對以色列的旨意。」
22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a young lion; He shall spring forth from Bashan.
論及丹說：「丹好似由巴商跳出的幼獅。」
23 And of Naphtali he said, Naphtali, satisfied with favour, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, Possess thou the west and the south.
論及納斐塔里說：「納斐塔里，飽受恩愛，充滿上主的祝福，海和南部將是他的產業。」
24 And of Asher he said, Asher shall be blessed with sons; Let him be acceptable to his brethren, And let him dip his foot in oil.

25 Iron and brass shall be thy bolts; And thy rest as thy days.
願你有銅鐵的門閂；願你一生獲享安寧! 」
26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, Who rideth upon the heavens to thy help, And in his majesty, upon the clouds.
沒有一個像耶叔戎的天主，他騰空駕雲，在威嚴中來援助你。
27 [Thy] refuge is the God of old, And underneath are the eternal arms; And he shall drive out the enemy from before thee, And shall say, Destroy [them]!
亙古的天主是你的避難所，他永遠的手臂是你的支柱；他由你面前驅走了敵人，是他向你下命說：毀滅罷!
28 And Israel shall dwell in safety alone, The fountain of Jacob, in a land of corn and new wine; Also his heavens shall drop down dew.
因此，以色列能以安居樂業，雅各伯的後裔定居在產糧出酒之地，天也從上降下甘露。
29 Happy art thou, Israel! Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And the sword of thine excellency? And thine enemies shall come cringing to thee; And thou shalt tread upon their high places.
以色列，你真是有福的；為上主所拯救的人民，有誰相似你﹖他是你護身的盾牌，是使你勝利的刀劍。你的仇敵必將奉承你，而你卻要踐踏他們的背脊。
