< Deuteronomy 33 >
1 And this [is] the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
Tala lipamboli oyo Moyize, moto na Nzambe, asakolaki mpo na bana ya Isalaele liboso ete akufa.
2 And he said, The Lord is come from Sina, and has appeared from Seir to us, and has hasted out of the mount of Pharan, with the ten thousands of Cades; on his right hand [were] his angels with him.
Alobaki: « Yawe awutaki na Sinai; wuta na Seiri, abimelaki bango lokola moyi na tongo, angengaki epai na bango wuta na ngomba Parani, ayaki elongo na ebele ya bankoto ya ba-anjelu na Ye mpe asimbaki na loboko na Ye kongenga ya Mobeko.
3 And he spared his people, and all his sanctified ones [are] under your hands; and they are under you; and he received of his words
Solo, olingaka bato, basantu nyonso basimbami na loboko na Yo. Na makolo na Yo, bango nyonso bagumbamaka. Ezali epai na Yo nde bazwaka mateya.
4 the law which Moses charged us, an inheritance to the assemblies of Jacob.
Moyize apesa biso Mobeko oyo ezali bozwi ya lisanga ya Jakobi.

Tika ete Ribeni awumela na bomoi mpe akufa te, mpe tika ete bato na ye bazala moke te! »
7 And this [is the blessing] of Juda; Hear, Lord, the voice of Juda, and do you visit his people: his hands shall contend for him, and you shall be a help from his enemies.

8 And to Levi he said, Give to Levi his manifestations, and his truth to the holy man, whom they tempted in the temptation; they reviled him at the water of strife.
Mpo na Levi, alobaki: « Urimi mpe Tumimi na Yo ezali mpo na moyengebene oyo omekaki ye motema na Masa, mpe oyo owelanaki na ye na mayi ya Meriba,
9 Who says to his father and mother, I have not seen you; and he knew not his brethren, and he refused to know his sons: he kept your oracles, and observed your covenant.

10 They shall declare your ordinances to Jacob, and your law to Israel: they shall place incense in [the time of] your wrath continually upon your altar.
Ateyaka makebisi na Yo epai ya Jakobi, mpe mibeko na Yo epai ya Isalaele; abonzaka ansa liboso na Yo, mpe mbeka ya kotumba na likolo ya etumbelo na Yo.
11 Bless, Lord, his strength, and accept the works of his hands; break the loins of his enemies that have risen up against him, and let not them that hate him rise up.
Oh Yawe, pambola makasi na ye na mosala, mpe sepela na mosala ya maboko na ye. Buka loketo ya bato oyo bazali kotelemela ye, mpe loketo ya bayini na ye kino bakoka lisusu te kotelema. »
12 And to Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in confidence, and God overshadows him always, and he rested between his shoulders.
Mpo na Benjame, alobaki: « Tika ete molingami ya Yawe azala na kimia pembeni na Ye, pamba te Ye nde abatelaka ye mokolo mobimba; mpe moto oyo Yawe alingaka apemaka na kati-kati ya mapeka na Ye! »
13 And to Joseph he said, His land [is] of the blessing of the Lord, of the seasons of sky and dew, and of the deeps of wells below,
Mpo na Jozefi, alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe apambola mokili na ye na nzela ya mamwe ya motuya, oyo ewutaka na likolo, mpe na nzela ya mayi ya mozindo oyo etiolaka na se ya mabele
14 and of the fruits of the changes of the sun in season, and of the produce of the months,
elongo na biloko oyo eleki motuya, oyo mayi ekolisaka mpe oyo eleki kitoko, oyo ebimaka sanza na sanza;
15 from the top of the ancient mountains, and from the top of the everlasting hills,
na nzela ya bakado ya kitoko ya bangomba ya kala, mpe na nzela ya bambuma oyo eleki kitoko ya bangomba mike oyo ewumelaka mobu na mobu;
16 and of the fullness of the land in season: and let the things pleasing to him that lived in the bush come on the head of Joseph, and on the crown [of him who was] glorified above his brethren.
na nzela ya bambuma oyo eleki kitoko, bambuma oyo etondi kati na mokili! Tika ete Nzambe oyo avandaka kati na nzete moke oyo ezali kopela moto apambola moto ya Jozefi mpe elongi ya moto oyo babulisi kati na bandeko na ye!
17 His beauty [is as] the firstling of his bull, his horns [are] the horns of a unicorn; with them he shall thrust the nations at once, even from the end of the earth: these [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these [are] the thousands of Manasse.
Na lokumu, azali lokola mwana liboso ya ngombe; maseke na ye ezali lokola ya mpakasa. Na nzela na yango nde ebetaka bikolo, ata bikolo oyo ezali na suka ya mokili. Tala ndenge nini bato ya Efrayimi bazali ebele penza, tala ndenge nini bato ya Manase bazali penza ebele! »
18 And to Zabulon he said, Rejoice, Zabulon, in your going out, and Issachar in his tents.

20 And to Gad he said, Blessed [be] he that enlarges Gad: as a lion he rested, having broken the arm and the ruler.

21 And he saw his first fruits, that there the land of the princes gathered with the chiefs of the people was divided; the Lord wrought righteousness, and his judgment with Israel.
Aponaki mabele ya kitoko mpo na ye moko, bapesaki ye eteni oyo ebongi na mokambi. Atambolaki liboso ya bato; mpe asalaki mosala kolanda bosembo ya Yawe mpe bikateli na Ye liboso ya Isalaele. »

24 And to Aser he said, Aser [is] blessed with children; and he shall be acceptable to his brethren: he shall dip his foot in oil.
Mpo na Aseri, alobaki: « Aseri azali mwana mobali oyo aleki na mapamboli. Tika ete bandeko na ye basalela ye mpe tika ete makolo na ye ezinda na mafuta.
25 His sandal shall be iron and brass; as your days, so [shall be] your strength.
Bikangelo ya bikuke na yo ekozala ya bibende mpe ya bronze. Mpe tika ete makasi na yo ewumela ndenge mikolo na yo ezali.
26 There is not [any such] as the God of the beloved; he who rides upon the heaven [is] your helper, and the magnificent One of the firmament.
Moko te akokani na Nzambe ya Yeshuruni, Nzambe oyo atambolaka na likolo lokola mpunda mpo na kosunga yo, mpe na mapata, kati na nkembo na Ye.
27 And the rule of God shall protect you, and [that] under the strength of the everlasting arms; and he shall cast forth the enemy from before your face, saying, Perish.
Nzambe ya tango nyonso azali ekimelo na yo, azali tango nyonso Mosungi awa na se. Ezali Ye nde abenganaka banguna na yo liboso na yo mpe apesaka yo mitindo ya koboma bango.
28 And Israel shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob, with corn and wine; and the sky [shall be] misty with dew upon you.
Boye Isalaele akowumela na kimia, mpe etima ya Jakobi ezali kotiola kati na mokili ya ble mpe ya vino ya sika, epai wapi likolo ezali kokitisa mamwe.
29 Blessed [are] you, O Israel; who [is] like to you, O people saved by the Lord? your helper shall hold his shield over you, and [his] sword [is] your boast; and your enemies shall speak falsely to you, and you shall tread upon their neck.
Oh Isalaele, ozali solo libota ya esengo! Libota nini ekokani na yo, yo libota oyo Yawe abikisi? Ye azali nde nguba na yo mpe mosungi na yo ya nkembo. Banguna na yo bakokima liboso na yo, mpe okonyata bisika na bango, oyo eleki likolo. »
