Deuteronomy 33

1 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of Israel before his death.

١ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْبَرَكَةُ الَّتِي بَارَكَ بِها مُوسَى، رَجُلُ اللهِ، بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ،

2 And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them: he shone forth from mount Paran, and he came from among myriads of saints; from his right hand he gave a fiery law unto them.

٢ فَقَالَ: «أَقْبَلَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ سِينَاءَ، وَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ سَعِيرَ، وَتَأَلَّقَ فِي جَبَلِ فَارَانَ؛ جَاءَ مُحَاطاً بِعَشَرَاتِ الأُلُوفِ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ يُوْمِضُ بَرْقٌ عَلَيْهِمْ.

3 Yea, thou also lovedst the tribes; all their saints were in thy hand; and they, prostrate before thy feet, received thy words.

٣ حَقّاً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَ الشَّعْبَ؛ وَجَمِيعُ الْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي يَدِكَ، سَاجِدُونَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْكَ يَتَلَقَّوْنَ مِنْكَ أَقْوَالَكَ،

4 “The law which Moses commanded us, is the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.”

٤ الَّتِي تَشْتَمِلُ عَلَيْهَا الشَّرِيعَةُ الَّتِي أَوْصَانَا بِها مُوسَى، لِتَكُونَ مِيرَاثاً لِجَمَاعَةِ يَعْقُوبَ.

5 Thus became he king in Yeshurun, when the heads of the people were assembled, as one the tribes of Israel.

٥ صَارَ الرَّبُّ مَلِكاً لِشَعْبِهِ حِينَ اجْتَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعاً.

6 May Reuben live, and not die; and may not his men be few.

٦ لِيَحْيَ رَأُوبَيْنُ وَلا يَمُتْ، وَلْيَتَكَاثَرْ رِجَالُهُ».

7 And this is [the blessing] of Judah, and he said, Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let the power of his hands contend for him; and be thou a help to him from his adversaries.

٧ وَقَالَ عَنْ يَهُوذَا: «اسْمَعْ يَا رَبُّ دُعَاءَ يَهُوذَا، وَاجْمَعْ شَمْلَهُ بِقَوْمِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ بِيَدَيْهِ يُدَافِعُ عَنْ قَضِيَّتِهِ فَأَعِنْهُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ».

8 And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy holy man, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

٨ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ لاوِي: «لَقَدْ أَعْطَيْتَ يَا رَبُّ تُمِّيمَكَ وَأُورِيمَكَ لِرَجُلِكَ الَّذِي جَرَّبْتَهُ وَامْتَحَنْتَهُ فِي مَسَّةَ، وَخَاصَمْتَهُ عِنْدَ مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ.

9 Who said of his father and of his mother, I have not seen him; and who did not acknowledge his brothers, nor regarded his own children; for they observe thy word, and thy covenant they keep.

٩ الَّذِي قَالَ عَنْ وَالِدَيْهِ: لَمْ أَرَهُمَا، وَبِإِخْوَتِهِ لَمْ يَعْتَرِفْ، وَأَنْكَرَ أَبْنَاءَهُ، بَلْ أَطَاعُوا وَصَايَاكَ وَصَانُوا عَهْدَكَ.

10 They shall teach thy ordinances unto Jacob, and thy law unto Israel: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt-sacrifice upon thy altar.

١٠ هُمْ يُعَلِّمُونَ يَعْقُوبَ أَحْكَامَكَ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ شَرِيعَتَكَ، يُحْرِقُونَ بَخُوراً أَمَامَ أَنْفِكَ وَقَرَابِينَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِكَ

11 Bless, O Lord, his substance, and receive favorably the work of his hands: crush the loins of those that rise up against him, and those that hate him, that they cannot rise again.

١١ بَارِكْ يَا رَبُّ مَهَارَاتِهِمْ وَاغْتَبِطْ بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ. حَطِّمْ مُتُونَ مُقَاوِمِيهِمْ وَمُبْغِضِيهِمْ فَلا تَقُومَ لَهُمْ قَائِمَةٌ».

12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord [is he], he shall dwell in safety by him: he will shield him all the day long, and between his shoulders will he dwell.

١٢ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ: «إِنَّهُ حَبِيبُ الرَّبِّ، يَسْكُنُ لَدَيْهِ آمِناً، يَصُونُهُ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَبَيْنَ مِنْكَبَيْهِ يَسْكُنُ مُطْمَئِنّاً».

13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land, through the precious gift of heaven, through the dew, and through the deep that coucheth beneath,

١٣ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ: «لِيُبَارِكِ الرَّبُّ أَرْضَهُ بِنَفَائِسِ قَطَرَاتِ نَدَى السَّمَاءِ، وَبِلُجَجِ الْمِيَاهِ الْغَائِرَةِ مِنْ تَحْتُ،

14 And through the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and through the precious things put forth by the moon,

١٤ وَبِخَيْرِ مَا تُنْمِيهِ الشَّمْسُ وَمَا تُغِلُّهُ الأَقْمَارُ،

15 And through the best things of the ancient mountains, and through the precious things of the everlasting hills,

١٥ وَبِأَنْفَسِ مَا تَدَّخِرُهُ الْجِبَالُ الْقَدِيمَةُ، وَبِأَثْمَنِ كُنُوزِ التِّلالِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ،

16 And through the precious things of the earth and its fulness, and through the goodwill of him that dwelt in the thorn-bush: may this blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brothers.

١٦ وَبِأَفْضَلِ خَيْرَاتِ الأَرْضِ وَبَرَكَاتِهَا، وَبِرِضَى السَّاكِنِ فِي الْعُلَّيْقَةِ. فَلْتَنْسَكِبْ هَذِهِ جَمِيعُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِ يُوسُفَ، عَلَى جَبِينِ الأَمِيرِ بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ.

17 His first-born steer is adorned with glory, and his horns are like the horns of reem; with them shall he push nations together to the ends of the earth: and they are the myriads of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Menasseh.

١٧ فَهُوَ فِي جَلالِهِ كَالثَّوْرِ الْبِكْرِ، وَقَرْنَاهُ مِثْلُ قَرْنَيْ ثَوْرٍ وَحْشِيٍّ، يَنْطَحُ بِهِمَا الشُّعُوبَ، حَتَّى أُولَئِكَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. لِتَكُنْ هَكَذَا عَشَرَاتُ أُلُوفِ أَفْرَايِمَ، لِتَكُنْ هَكَذَا أُلُوفُ مَنَسَّى».

18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.

١٨ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطَيْ زَبُولُونَ وَيَسَّاكَرَ: «افْرَحْ يَا زَبُولُونُ بِخُرُوجِكَ، وَأَنْتَ يَا يَسَّاكَرُ بِخِيَامِكَ،

19 They will call the tribes unto the mountain; there will they offer sacrifices of righteousness; for they will suck the abundance of the seas, and the treasures hid in the sand.

١٩ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَدْعُوَانِ الشَّعْبَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ حَيْثُ يُقَرِّبَانِ مُحْرَقَاتِ الْبِرِّ، لأَنَّهُمَا يَشْبَعَانِ مِنْ خَيْرَاتِ الْبِحَارِ، وَمِنَ الذَّخَائِرِ الْكَامِنَةِ فِي الرَّمْلِ».

20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: like a lioness lieth he down, and teareth off the arm with the crown of the head.

٢٠ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ جَادٍ: «لِتَحِلَّ الْبَرَكَةُ عَلَى مَنْ وَسَّعَ تُخُومَ جَادٍ حَيْثُ يَرْبِضُ جَادٌ هُنَاكَ كَالأَسَدِ، يَفْتَرِسُ الذِّرَاعَ مَعَ قِمَّةِ الرَّأْسِ.

21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there is the field of the law-giver, of the hidden; and he went forth at the head of the people: he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with Israel.

٢١ اخْتَارَ خَيْرَ الأَرْضِ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَاحْتَفَظَ لِنَفْسِهِ بِنَصِيبِ الْقَائِدِ: وَعِنْدَمَا اجْتَمَعَ شُيُوخُ الشَّعْبِ أَجْرَى حَقَّ الرَّبِّ الْعَادِلِ وَأَحْكَامَهُ مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp, that leapeth forth from Bashan.

٢٢ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ دَانٍ: «دَانٌ مِثْلُ شِبْلِ أَسَدٍ يَنْقَضُّ مِنْ بَاشَانَ».

23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full of the blessing of the Lord, take thou possession of the west and the south.

٢٣ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي: «اشْبَعْ يَا نَفْتَالِي رِضًى، وَامْتَلِئْ بَرَكَةً مِنَ الرَّبِّ، وَامْلِكْ سَاحِلَ الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ وَالنَّقَبِ».

24 And of Asher he said, More than [all] the children be Asher blessed: he shall be the most favored of his brethren, and bathe his foot in oil.

٢٤ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ: «أَشِيرُ الابْنُ الأَكْثَرُ مُبَارَكَةً. فَلْيَكُنْ صَاحِبَ حُظْوَةٍ عِنْدَ إِخْوَتِهِ، وَلْيَغْمِسْ فِي الزَّيْتِ قَدَمَيْهِ.

25 Iron and copper shall be thy bolts; and as thy [younger] days so shall thy old age be.

٢٥ وَلْتَكُنْ مَزَالِيجُ أَبْوَابِكَ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَنُحَاسٍ، وَلْتُعَادِلْ قُوَّتُكَ امْتِدَادَ أَيَّامِكَ.

26 There is none like unto the God of Yeshurun, who rideth to help thee upon the heavens, and in his excellency upon the skies.

٢٦ لَيْسَ نَظِيرَ الرَّبِّ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَمْتَطِي السَّمَاءَ لِمَعُونَتِكُمْ وَالْغَمَامَ فِي عَظَمَتِهِ،

27 Thy refuge is the eternal God, and here beneath, the everlasting arms; and he thrust out the enemy from before thee; and he said, Destroy.

٢٧ فَالإِلَهُ الأَبَدِيُّ هُوَ مَلْجَأُكُمْ، وَتَحْتَكُمْ تَنْبَسِطُ الأَذْرُعُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ، يَطْرُدُ أَمَامَكُمْ أَعْدَاءَكُمْ قَائِلاً: أَهْلِكُوهُمْ.

28 And then dwelt Israel in safety, alone, the fountain of Jacob; in a land of corn and wine; also its heavens shall drop down dew.

٢٨ لِيَسْكُنْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ آمِنِينَ وَحْدَهُمْ، وَلْتَجْرِ يَنَابِيعُ مَاءِ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى أَرْضِ قَمْحٍ وَخَمْرٍ، وَتَقْطُرْ سَمَاؤُهُ بِالنَّدَى.

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 thy enemies shall fawn upon thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high-places.

٢٩ طُوبَاكُمْ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَيُّ شَعْبٍ مِثْلُكُمْ مُنْتَصِرٌ بِالرَّبِّ؟ إِنَّهُ تُرْسُكُمْ وَعَوْنُكُمْ وَسَيْفُكُمُ الْمَجِيدُ. لَكُمْ يَخْضَعُ أَعْدَاؤُكُمْ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَطَأُونَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِمْ».
