Deuteronomy 33
1 And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons 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 says: “YHWH has come from Sinai, And has risen from Seir for them; He has shone from Mount Paran, And has come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [came] a fiery law [[or a flaming fire]] 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 Indeed, He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in Your hand, And they sat down at Your foot, [Each] lifts up Your 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 has commanded a law for us, A possession of the assembly 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 is King in Yeshurun, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!
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 his men be an [incalculable] number.
E ola no o Reubena, aole ia e make; Aole hoi e uuku kona poe kanaka.
7 And this [is] for Judah, and he says: Hear, O YHWH, the voice of Judah, And You bring him in to his people; His hand has striven for him, And You are a help from his adversaries.
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: Your Perfections and your Lights [are] for your pious one, Whom You have tried in Massah, You strive with him 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 is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And he has not discerned his brothers, And he has not known his sons; For they have observed Your saying, And they keep Your 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 teach Your judgments to Jacob, And Your law to Israel; They put incense in Your nose, And whole burnt-offering on Your 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, O YHWH, his strength, And accept the work of his hands, Strike the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him—that they do not rise!
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 Of Benjamin he said: The beloved of YHWH dwells confidently by Him, Covering him over every day; Indeed, he dwells 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: His land [is] blessed [by] YHWH, By a precious thing of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching 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 by a precious thing—fruits of the sun, And by a precious thing—cast forth by the months,
No na mea maikai a ka la i hookupu ai, No na mea maikai a na mahina i houlu ai.
15 And by a chief thing—of the ancient mountains, And by a precious thing—of the continuous heights,
No na mea maikai o na mauna kahiko, No na mea maikai o na puu pau ole,
16 And by a precious thing—of earth and its fullness, And the good pleasure of Him who is dwelling in the bush; Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him [who is] separate from his brothers.
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 splendor [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a wild ox; With them he pushes the peoples Altogether to the ends of the earth; And they [are] the myriads 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, O Zebulun, in your going out, And, O Issachar, in your 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 call peoples [to] the mountain, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For they suck up the abundance of the seas, And hidden things hidden 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 is he who is enlarging Gad, He dwells as a lioness, And has torn the arm—also the crown!
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 provides the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he comes [with] the heads of the people; He has done the righteousness of YHWH, 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 leaps 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 pleasure, And full of the blessing of YHWH, Possess [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: Asher [is] blessed with sons, Let him be accepted by his brothers, And dipping 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 Iron and bronze [are] your shoes, And as your days—your strength.
O ka hao, a me ke keleawe, kou mau kamaa; E like me kou mau la, pela kou malu.
26 [There is] none like the God of Yeshurun, Riding the heavens to your help, And in His excellence the skies.
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] a habitation, And beneath [are] continuous arms. And He casts out the enemy from your presence and says, Destroy!
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 And Israel dwells [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] to a land of grain and wine; Also His heavens 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 O your blessedness, O Israel! Who is like you? A people saved by YHWH, The shield of your help, And He who [is] the sword of your excellence! And your enemies are subdued for you, And you tread on 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.
