Deuteronomy 33
1 And this [is] the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
EIA ka hoomaikai a Mose, ke kanaka o ke Akua, i hoomaikai aku ai i na mamo a Iseraela mamua o kona make ana.
2 And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them.
I aku la, Mai Sinai mai, i hele mai ai o Iehova, A mai Seira mai ia i puka mai ai maluna o lakou. Mai ka mauna o Paraua ia i hoomalamalama mai, Mawaena mai o na umi tausani haipule oia i hele mai ai; Mai kona lima akau aku ke kanawai ahi no lakou.
3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints [are] in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; [every one] shall receive of thy words.
I aloha hoi ia i na kanaka: Ma kou lima kona poe haipule a pau: Ma kou wawae lakou i noho ai; E loaa ia lakou kau mau olelo.
4 Moses commanded us a law, [even] the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
I kauoha mai o Mose ia kakou i ke kanawai, Oia ka mea i ili mai ai no ka ahakanaka o Iakoba.
5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people [and] the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
He alii oia iloko o Iesuruna, I ka wa i hoakoakoa pu ai na luna o kanaka, A i houluulu ai na ohana o ka Iseraela.
6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let [not] his men be few.
E ola no o Reubena, aole ia e make; Aole hoi e uuku kona poe kanaka.
7 And this [is the blessing] of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help [to him] from his enemies.
Eia ka Iuda; i aku la ia, E hoolohe, e Iehova, i ka leo o Iuda, A e alakai ia ia i kona poe kanaka; E pono no ia ma kona lima iho, A e kokua mai oe ia ia i kona poe enemi.
8 And of Levi he said, [Let] thy Thummim and thy Urim [be] with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, [and with] whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
I aku la ia no Levi, O kou Tumima a me kou Urima no kou mea haipule, Ka mea au i hoao ai ma Masa, Ka mea au i hakaka ai ma ka wai o Meriba;
9 Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
Ka mea i olelo ai i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, Aole au i ike ia ia; Aole ia i ike i kona mau hoahanau; Aole hoi ia i ike i kana mau keiki; No ka mea, ua malama lakou i kau olelo; Ua malama hoi lakou i kau berita,
10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
E ao aku lakou i kau olelo kupaa i ka Iakoba, A i kou kanawai i ka Iseraela: E kau lakou i ka mea ala imua ou, A me ka mohai pono maluna o kou kuahu.
11 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
E hoomaikai oe, e Iehova, i kona waiwai, E oluolu oe i ka hana a kona lima; E hahau oe i na puhaka o ka poe ku e mai ia ia, A me ka poe e inaina ia ia, i ku hou ole mai ai lakou.
12 [And] of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; [and the Lord] shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
I aku la ia no Beniamina, Ka hiwahiwa na Iehova, e noho maluhia me ia; E hoouhi mai oia ia ia i na la a pau, E noho no hoi ia iwaena o kona poohiwi.
13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD [be] his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
I aku la ia no Iosepa, E hoomaikaiia kona aina e Iehova, No na mea maikai o ka lani, no ka hau, A no na mea e waiho ana malalo i ka honua,
14 And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
No na mea maikai a ka la i hookupu ai, No na mea maikai a na mahina i houlu ai.
15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
No na mea maikai o na mauna kahiko, No na mea maikai o na puu pau ole,
16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and [for] the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let [the blessing] come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him [that was] separated from his brethren.
No na mea maikai o ka honua, a me kona mea i piha ai, No ka lokomaikai o ka mea i noho ai ma ka laau; E hiki mai ia maluna o ke poo o Iosepa, A maluna hoi o ka piko poo o ka mea i hookaawaleia e kona poe hoahanau.
17 His glory [is like] the firstling of his bullock, and his horns [are like] the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
Me ka hanau mua o kona poe bipi, pela kona nani, O na kiwi o ka bipi hihiu, oia kona mau kiwi; Me ia mea e o aku ia i na kanaka ma kahi hookahi, a i na mokuna o ka honua: Oia na umi tausani o Eperaima, a oia na tausani o Manase.
18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
Olelo aku la ia no Zebuluna, E olioli oe, e Zebuluna, i kou hele ana iwaho: O oe hoi, e Isakara, ma kou mau halelewa.
19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck [of] the abundance of the seas, and [of] treasures hid in the sand.
E kahea aku lakou i na kanaka o ka mauna; Malaila e kaumaha aku ai i mohai o ka pono: No ka mea, e omo lakou i ka waiwai nui o na moana, A me na waiwai i hunaia ma ke one.
20 And of Gad he said, Blessed [be] he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
Olelo aku ia no Gada, Pomaikai ka mea e hoomahuahua ana ia Gada; Like me ka liona kona noho ana, A e weluwelu ia ia ka lima a me ke poo.
21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, [in] a portion of the lawgiver, [was he] seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
Wae iho la ia i ke kuleana maikai nona, No ka mea, malaila no ke kuleana o ke alakai i waiho ai; A hele aku la ia me na luna o kanaka, Hana aku la ia i ka pono o Iehova, A i kana olelo kupaa me ka Iseraela.
22 And of Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion’s whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
Olelo aku la ia no Dana, o Dana, he keiki liona ia, E lele mai ia mai Basana mai.
23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
Olelo aku la ia no Napetali, E hoonuiia oe i ka lokomaikai, E hoopihaia oe i ka pomaikai o Iehova, E hooliloia nou ke komohana, a me ke kukuluhema.
24 And of Asher he said, [Let] Asher [be] blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
Olelo aku la ia no Asera, E hoopomaikaiia o Asera i na keiki, A e oluolu ia i kona poe hoahanau, A e kupenu iho ia i kona wawae i ka aila.
25 Thy shoes [shall be] iron and brass; and as thy days, [so shall] thy strength [be].
O ka hao, a me ke keleawe, kou mau kamaa; E like me kou mau la, pela kou malu.
26 [There is] none like unto the God of Jeshurun, [who] rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
Aohe mea like me ke Akua o Iesuruna, E holo ana no ia maluna o ka lani e kokua ia oe, A maluna o ke ao me kona nani nui.
27 The eternal God [is thy] refuge, and underneath [are] the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy [them].
O ke Akua mau loa kou puuhonua, A malalo iho na lima mau loa: E hookuke aku ia i na enemi imua ou; A e i mai, E luku aku ia lakou.
28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob [shall be] upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
A e noho maluhia wale no o ka Iseraela: O ka luawai o Iakoba ma ka aina palaoa a me ka waina; A e hoohelelei iho kona lani i ka hau:
29 Happy [art] thou, O Israel: who [is] like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who [is] the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
Pomaikai oe, e ka Iseraela: Owai la kou mea like, e na kanaka, i hoolaia e Iehova, Oia ka paku nana oe e kokua mai, Oia ka pahikaua o kou nani. E malimali mai kou poe enemi imua ou, A e hele auanei oe maluna o ko lakou wahi kiekie.
