Deuteronomy 33
1 The following is the blessing that Moses the man of God gave to the Israelites before he died.
Alò, sa se benediksyon yo avèk sila Moïse, nonm a Bondye a, li te beni fis Israël yo avan lanmò li.
2 He said, The Lord came from Mount Sinai and shone on us from Mount Seir; he blazed out from Mount Paran coming with ten thousand of holy ones, holding flaming fire at his right hand.
Li te di: “SENYÈ a te sòti nan Sinai, e te parèt sou yo soti nan Séir. Li te briye soti nan Mòn Paran. Li te sòti nan mitan di-milye yo ki te sen. Nan men dwat Li, te gen yon lalwa byen cho ki te pou yo.
3 How much you love the people; you hold all the holy ones in your hand. They sit down at your feet to listen to your words:
Anverite, Li renmen pèp la. Tout sen li yo nan men Ou. Sou pye Ou, yo tout pwostène. Yo te resevwa pawòl Ou yo.
4 the law that Moses delivered to us that belongs to all the Israelites.
Moïse te pase nou lòd avèk yon lwa, eritaj pou asanble Jacob la.
5 The Lord became King in Israel when the people's leaders gathered, when the tribes of Israel assembled.
Epi Li te wa an Israël lè tèt a pèp la te rasanble tout tribi a Israël yo ansanm.
6 To Reuben he said, “May he live and not die, but may he only have a few men.”
Ke Ruben viv e pa mouri; ni ke moun li yo pa manke.”
7 To Judah he said: “Lord, please hear the cry of Judah and reunite him with his people. Even though he fights for himself, may you help him against his enemies.”
Sa se pou Juda: Li te di, “Tande O Israël vwa Juda, e mennen li vè pèp li. Avèk men li, li te lite pou kont li. Ou va bay li soutyen kont advèsè pa li.”
8 To Levi he said: “Your Thummim were given to Levi and your Urim to those dedicated to God, the ones you tested at Massah and argued with at the waters of Meribah.
A Lévi, li di: Thumim nan avèk Urim nan apatyen a sèvitè fidèl Ou, ou te pase li a leprèv nan Massa, avèk sila ou te goumen nan dlo Meriba yo.
9 Levi said that he didn't pay attention to his father and mother, that he didn't acknowledge his brothers, and that he didn't recognize his children. The Levites did what you said and kept your agreement.
Li te di de papa l avèk manman l: “Mwen pa t wè li.” Li pa t rekonèt pwòp frè pa li, ni fis li yo pwiske yo te swiv pawòl Ou e te kenbe akò Ou.
10 They will teach your regulations to Jacob and your law to Israel. They will place incense before you, and sacrifice whole burnt offerings on your altar.
Yo va enstwi òdonans Ou yo a Jacob, e lwa Ou a Israël. Yo va mete lansan devan Ou, ak ofrann brile an gwo sou lotèl Ou.
11 Lord, please bless what they have, and accept their service for you. Destroy those who attack them; make sure their enemies never rise again.”
O SENYÈ, beni abilite li yo, e beni zèv men li yo. Kase ren a sila ki leve kont li yo, e sila ki rayi li kòmsi pou yo pa leve ankò.
12 To Benjamin he said: “May the one the Lord loves be kept safe and secure in the Lord. The Lord always protects him, letting him rest on his shoulders.”
A Benjamin, li te di: “Ke byeneme SENYÈ a ta rete ansekirite ak Li, paske Li pwoteje li tout lajounen. Sila SENYÈ a renmen an rete antre zepòl Li.”
13 To Joseph he said: “May the Lord bless his land with the best gifts of heaven—with the dew and water from the depths below;
A Joseph, li te di: “Peyi li se beni pa SENYÈ a ak lawouze presye ki soti nan syèl la, e avèk dlo pwofon ki anba,
14 with the best crops ripened by the sun and the best produce of the seasons;
pou meyè chwa a solèy la, ak meyè pwodwi lalin nan,
15 with the finest contributions of the ancient mountains and the best materials of the everlasting hills;
pou pi bèl bagay a mòn ansyen yo, pou pi bèl bagay nan kolin yo kap dire nèt,
16 with the best gifts of the land and everything in it, along with the appreciation of the one who was in the burning bush. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph like a crown for this prince among his brothers.
pou pi bèl bagay tè yo ak tout sa ki ladan l, ak favè a Sila ki te demere nan touf bwa brile a. Men kite sa vin parèt sou tèt Joseph la, sou kouwòn a sila ki pi elve pami frè li yo.
17 He is as majestic as a firstborn bull; his horns are like those of a wild ox. He will use them to gore the nations, driving them to the ends of the earth. The horns represent the ten thousands of Ephraim, and the thousands of Manasseh.”
Tankou premye ne a bèf li, lonè pou li. Kòn li yo se kòn a bèf mawon. Avèk yo, li va bourade pèp yo, jis a sila a ki nan pwent latè yo. Sila yo se di-mil a Ephraïm yo. Yo se milye yo a Manassé.”
18 To Zebulun he said: “Celebrate, Zebulun, in your travels and Issachar, in your tents.
De Zabulon, li te di: “Rejwi, Zabulon lè nou soti, ak Issacar nan tant nou yo.
19 They will summon the peoples to a mountain; will offer the appropriate sacrifices there. They will enjoy the rich produce of the seas and from trading on the seashores.”
Yo va rele nasyon yo vini nan mòn la. La, yo va ofri sakrifis ladwati, paske yo va rale abondans lanmè ak trezò ki kache nan sab yo.”
20 To Gad he said: “Blessed is he who makes Gad's territory larger! Gad is like a lion lying in wait, ready to rip off an arm or a head.
De Gad, li te di: “Beni se sila ki fè Gad vin pi gwo; li kouche ba tankou yon manman lyon, pou l dechire bra a oswa tèt la.
21 He chose the best land for himself, for he was allocated a ruler's share. He met with the people's leaders; he did what the Lord said was right, following the Lord's regulations for Israel.”
Premye pati li fè pou kont li, paske pou li, pòsyon gran chèf lalwa a te rezève. Epi li te vini avèk chèf a pèp yo. Li te egzekite jistis a SENYÈ, òdonans Li yo avèk Israël.”
22 To Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion that leaps out of Bashan.”
De Dan, li te di: “Dan se pòtre a yon lyon ki vòltije sòti nan Basan.”
23 To Naphtali he said: “Naphtali is really favored, full of the Lord's blessing. He shall take over the land to the west and south.”
De Nephtali, li te di: “O Nephtali, satisfè avèk favè, ranpli avèk benediksyon SENYÈ a, Kon eritaj, vin pran pati lwes la, ak sid la.”
24 To Asher he said: “May Asher be blessed more than all the other sons; may he be favored above his brothers and bathe his feet in olive oil.
De Aser, li te di: “Pi beni pase fis yo se Aser. Ke li kapab beni pa frè li yo. Ke pye li kapab vin fonse nan lwil.
25 May the bolts of your gate be strong as iron and bronze, and may you be strong all your life.”
Très cheve ou yo va tankou fè avèk bwonz. Selon kantite jou ou yo, konsa, ou va gen fòs.
26 There is no one like the God of Israel, who rides across the heavens to come to help you; who rides the clouds in majesty.
Nanpwen lòt ki tankou Bondye Israël la, ki monte sou syèl yo pou rive ede nou, e ki travèse syèl yo nan majeste Li.
27 The eternal God is your home, and he holds you up with his everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy ahead of you, and gives the order, “Destroy him!”
Bondye etènèl la se kote pou nou kache. Pa anba, se bwa Li ki la pou tout tan. Li te chase lènmi an devan nou; Li te di: ‘Detwi!’
28 As a result Israel lives in peace; Jacob has no trouble in a country of grain and new wine, where the heavens drip with dew.
Konsa, Israël viv ansekirite, sous Jacob ki mete apa a, nan yon peyi sereyal avèk diven nèf. Wi, syèl Li yo vin degoute lawouze a.
29 How blessed you are, Israel! Is there anyone like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is the shield that protects you, the sword that gives you confidence. Your enemies will tremble before you, and you shall tread them underfoot.
Beni ou ye, O Israël! Kilès ki sanble avèk ou, yon pèp delivre pa SENYÈ a, ki se pwotèj k ap ba ou sekou a ki se nepe a majeste ou? Konsa, lènmi ou yo va vin kraponnen devan ou, e ou va foule wo plas yo.”
