Deuteronomy 33
1 Nowe this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death, and said,
Guno gwe mukisa, Musa musajja wa Katonda gwe yasabira abaana ba Isirayiri nga tannafa.
2 The Lord came from Sinai, and rose vp from Seir vnto them, and appeared clearely from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of Saints, and at his right hand a firie Lawe for them.
Yagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda yajja gye tuli ng’ava ku Sinaayi n’atutuukako ng’ava ku Seyiri; yamasamasa ng’ava ku Lusozi Palani. Yajja n’obufukunya bw’abatukuvu okuva ku bukiika obwaddyo obw’ensozi ze.
3 Though hee loue the people, yet all thy Saints are in thine handes: and they are humbled at thy foete, to receiue thy words.
Mazima gw’oyagala abantu, abatukuvu bonna bali mu mikono gyo. Bavuunama wansi ku bigere byo ne bawulira ebiragiro by’obawa.
4 Moses commanded vs a Lawe for an inheritance of the Congregation of Iaakob.
Ge mateeka Musa ge yatuwa ng’ekyokufuna eky’ekibiina kya Yakobo.
5 Then he was among the righteous people, as King, when the heades of the people, and the tribes of Israel were assembled.
Waasitukawo kabaka mu Yesuluuni abakulembeze b’abantu bwe baakuŋŋaana nga bye bika bya Isirayiri ebyegasse.
6 Let Reuben liue, and not die, though his men be a small nomber.
“Lewubeeni abenga mulamu; alemenga kuggwaawo n’omuwendo gw’abasajja be gulemenga kukendeera.”
7 And thus he blessed Iudah, and said, Heare, O Lord, the voyce of Iudah, and bring him vnto his people: his hands shalbe sufficient for him, if thou helpe him against his enemies.
Kino kye yayogera ku Yuda: “Wulira, Ayi Mukama Katonda okukaaba kwa Yuda; omuleete eri abantu be. Yeerwaneko n’emikono gye. Omuyambenga ng’alwanyisa abalabe be!”
8 And of Leui he said, Let thy Thummim and thine Vrim be with thine Holy one, whome thou diddest proue in Massah, and didst cause him to striue at the waters of Meribah.
Bino bye yayogera ku Leevi: “Sumimu wo ne Ulimu wo biwe omusajja oyo gw’oyagala ennyo. Wamukebera e Masa n’omugezesa ku mazzi ag’e Meriba.
9 Who said vnto his father and to his mother, I haue not seene him, neither knewe he his brethren, nor knewe his owne children: for they obserued thy word, and kept thy couenant.
Yayogera ku kitaawe ne nnyina nti, ‘Abo sibafaako.’ Baganda be teyabategeeranga wadde okusembeza abaana be; baalabiriranga ekigambo kyo ne bakuumanga endagaano yo.
10 They shall teach Iaakob thy iudgements, and Israel thy Lawe: they shall put incense before thy face, and the burnt offring vpon thine altar.
Banaayigirizanga Yakobo ebiragiro byo ne Isirayiri amateeka go. Banaanyookezanga obubaane mu maaso go, n’ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa ku kyoto kyo.
11 Blesse, O Lord, his substance, and accept the worke of his handes: smite through ye loynes of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not againe.
Ayi Mukama Katonda owe omukisa byonna by’akola, era okkirize emirimu gy’emikono gye. Okubirenga ddala abo abamugolokokerako okubenga abalabe be balemenga kwongera kumulumbanga.”
12 Of Beniamin he said, The beloued of the Lord shall dwell in safetie by him: the Lord shall couer him all the day long, and dwell betweene his shoulders.
Bye yayogera ku Benyamini: “Omwagalwa wa Mukama Katonda abeerenga wanywevu, Katonda Ali Waggulu ng’amwebulungudde bulijjo, omwagalwa anaagalamiranga wakati ku bibegabega bye.”
13 And of Ioseph hee sayde, Blessed of the Lord is his land for the sweetenesse of heauen, for the dewe, and for the depth lying beneath,
Yayogera bw’ati ku Yusufu: “Ettaka lye Mukama Katonda aliwe omukisa, n’omusulo omulungi ennyo ogunaavanga waggulu mu ggulu n’amazzi mu nzizi empanvu mu ttaka wansi,
14 And for the sweete increase of the sunne, and for the sweete increase of the moone,
n’ebibala ebigimu ennyo ebinaavanga mu musana, n’amakungula aganaasinganga mu myezi gyonna;
15 And for the sweetenes of the top of the ancient mountaines, and for the sweetenes of the olde hilles,
n’ebibala ebinaakiranga obulungi ku nsozi ez’edda, n’okwala kw’ebirime ku nsozi ez’emirembe gyonna;
16 And for the sweetenesse of the earth, and abundance thereof: and the good will of him that dwelt in the bushe, shall come vpon the head of Ioseph, and vpon the toppe of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
n’ebirabo ebisinga byonna mu nsi n’okujjula kwayo, n’obuganzi obunaavanga eri oyo ow’omu kisaka ekyaka. Ebyo byonna ka bijjenga ku mutwe gwa Yusufu, mu kyenyi ky’omulangira mu baganda be.
17 His beautie shalbe like his first borne bullock, and his hornes as the hornes of an vnicorne: with them hee shall smite the people together, euen the endes of the world: these are also the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these are the thousands of Manasseh.
Mu kitiibwa anaabanga ente ennume embereberye amayembe ge, ng’amayembe ga sseddume endalu; anaagatomezanga amawanga n’agayuzaayuza, n’agagoberanga ku nkomerero y’ensi. Obwo bwe bunaabanga obukumi bwa Efulayimu nga ze nkumi za Manase.”
18 And of Zebulun he sayd, Reioice, Zebulun, in thy going out, and thou Isshachar in thy tents.
Yayogera bw’ati ku Zebbulooni: “Jaguzanga, ggwe Zebbulooni, bw’onoofulumanga; ne Isakaali ng’ali mu weema zo.
19 They shall call ye people vnto the mountaine: there they shall offer the sacrifices of righteousnesse: for they shall sucke of the abundance of the sea, and of the treasures hid in the sand.
Banaakoowoolanga amawanga okwambuka ku nsozi ne baweerangayo eyo ssaddaaka ez’obutuukirivu, banaalyanga eby’obugagga ebya mayanja, nga beeyambisa n’ebyobugagga ebikweke mu musenyu.”
20 Also of Gad he said, Blessed be hee that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, that catcheth for his praye the arme with the head.
Yayogera bw’ati ku Gaadi: “Alina omukisa oyo agaziya ensalo z’omugabo gwa Gaadi, Gaadi omwo mw’abeera ng’empologoma ng’ayuza omukono n’omutwe.
21 And hee looked to himselfe at the beginning, because there was a portion of the Lawe-giuer hid: yet hee shall come with the heades of the people, to execute the iustice of the Lord, and his iudgements with Israel.
Yeerondera omugabo gw’ettaka erisinga obulungi, omugabo gw’omukulembeze gwe gwamukuumirwa. Abakulembeze b’abantu bwe baakuŋŋaana ye yabasalira emisango gya Mukama, n’okukwasa Isirayiri amateeka ga Mukama Katonda.”
22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lions whelp: he shall leape from Bashan.
Yayogera bw’ati ku Ddaani: “Ddaani mwana gwa mpologoma, ogubuuka nga guva mu Basani.”
23 Also of Naphtali he sayd, O Naphtali, satisfied with fauour, and filled with the blessing of the Lord, possesse the West and the South.
Yayogera bw’ati ku Nafutaali: “Ggwe Nafutaali ajjudde obuganzi bwa Mukama Katonda era ng’ojjudde emikisa gye, onoosikira obukiikaddyo okutuuka ku nnyanja.”
24 And of Asher he saide, Asher shalbe blessed with children: he shalbe acceptable vnto his brethren, and shall dippe his foote in oyle.
Yayogera bw’ati ku Aseri: “Asinga okuweebwa omukisa mu batabani ye Aseri, ku baganda be gwe babanga basinga okwagala era emizabbibu gigimuke nnyo mu ttaka lye.
25 Thy shooes shalbe yron and brasse, and thy strength shall continue as long as thou liuest.
Enzigi z’ebibuga byo zinaasibwanga n’eminyolo egy’ekyuma n’ekikomo n’amaanyi go ganenkananga n’obuwangaazi bwo.
26 There is none like God, O righteous people, which rideth vpon the heauens for thine helpe, and on the cloudes in his glory.
“Tewali afaanana nga Katonda wa Yesuluuni eyeebagala waggulu ku ggulu ng’ajja okukuyamba ne ku bire mu kitiibwa kye.
27 The eternall God is thy refuge, and vnder his armes thou art for euer: hee shall cast out the enemie before thee, and will say, Destroy them.
Katonda ataggwaawo bwe buddukiro bwo, era akuwanirira n’emikono gye emirembe gyonna. Anaagobanga abalabe bo nga naawe olaba, n’agamba nti, ‘Bazikirize!’
28 Then Israel the fountaine of Iaakob shall dwell alone in safetie in a lande of wheat, and wine: also his heauens shall drop the dewe.
Bw’atyo Isirayiri anaabeeranga mu mirembe yekka, ezzadde lya Yakobo linaabeeranga wanywevu, mu nsi erimu emmere y’empeke ne wayini, eggulu mwe linaatonnyezanga omusulo.
29 Blessed art thou, O Israel: who is like vnto thee, O people saued by the Lord, the shielde of thine helpe, and which is the sword of thy glorie? therefore thine enemies shall bee in subiection to thee, and thou shalt tread vpon their hie places.
Nga weesiimye, Ayi Isirayiri! Ani akufaanana, ggwe eggwanga Mukama Katonda lye yalokola? Ye ngabo yo era omubeezi wo, era kye kitala kyo ekisinga byonna. Abalabe bo banaakuvuunamiranga, era onoobalinnyiriranga.”
