< Deuteronomy 33 >
1 This is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
To je blagoslov, s katerim je Mojzes, Božji mož, pred svojo smrtjo blagoslovil Izraelove otroke.
2 He said, "Jehovah came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon us. He shone forth from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
Rekel je: » Gospod je prišel s Sinaja in se iz Seírja dvignil k njim. On sije z gore Parán in prišel je z deset tisoči svetih. Iz njegove desnice je šla zanje ognjena postava.
3 Yes, he loves the people. All his holy ones are in your hand. They sat down at your feet; each receives your words.
Da, ljubil je ljudstvo. Vsi njegovi sveti so v tvoji roki in usedli so se pri tvojih stopalih; vsak bo prejel od tvojih besed.
4 Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
Mojzes nam je zapovedal postavo, torej dediščino Jakobove skupnosti.
5 He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
In on je bil kralj v Ješurúnu, ko so se zbrali skupaj poglavarji ljudstva in so bili Izraelovi rodovi zbrani skupaj.
6 "Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few."
Naj Ruben živi in ne umre in naj njegovih mož ne bo malo.«
7 This is for Judah. He said, "Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah. Bring him in to his people. With his hands he contended for himself. You shall be a help against his adversaries."
To je blagoslov za Juda. Rekel je: »Prisluhni, Gospod, Judovemu glasu in privedi ga k svojemu ljudstvu. Naj mu njegove roke zadoščajo in ti mu bodi pomoč pred njegovimi sovražniki.«
8 Of Levi he said, "Give to Levi your Thummim and your Urim to your faithful one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you strove at the waters of Meribah;

9 who said of his father, and of his mother, 'I have not seen him;' Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, Nor did he know his own children: For they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.
ki je svojemu očetu in svoji materi rekel: ›Nisem ga videl.‹ Niti ni priznal svojih bratov niti spoznal svojih lastnih otrok, kajti obeležili so tvojo besedo in se držali tvoje zaveze.
10 They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.
Jakoba bodo učili tvojih sodb in Izraela tvoje postave. Pred teboj bodo postavili kadilo in celotno žgalno daritev na tvoj oltar.
11 Jehovah, bless his substance. Accept the work of his hands. Strike the loins of those who rise against him, of those who hate him, that they not rise again."
Blagoslovi Gospod njegovo imetje in sprejmi delo njegovih rok. Skozi ledja udari tiste, ki vstajajo zoper njega in izmed tistih, ki ga sovražijo, da ne vstanejo ponovno.«
12 Of Benjamin he said, "The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by him. He covers him all the day long. He dwells between his shoulders."
In o Benjaminu je rekel: »Ljubljen od Gospoda bo varno prebival pri njem in Gospod ga bo ves dan pokrival in prebival bo med njegovimi rameni.«
13 Of Joseph he said, "His land is blessed by Jehovah, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
O Jožefu je rekel: »Njegova dežela naj bo blagoslovljena od Gospoda, za dragocene stvari z neba in za roso in za globino, ki leži spodaj
14 with the choices fruits of the sun, and the bounteous yield of the months,
in za dragoceno sadje, porojeno s soncem in za dragocene stvari, navržene z luno
15 with the finest produce of the ancient mountains, and the abundance of the everlasting hills,
in za vodilne stvari starodavnih gora in za dragocene stvari trajnih hribov
16 with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, the good will of him who lived in the bush. Let this come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
in za dragocene stvari zemlje in njene polnosti in za dobro voljo tistega, ki je prebival v grmu. Naj nad Jožefovo glavo pride blagoslov in na vrh glave tistega, ki je bil ločen od svojih bratov.
17 A firstborn bull, majesty is his. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he shall push all of the peoples, to the farthest parts of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh."
Njegova slava je podobna prvencu njegovega bikca in njegovi rogovi so podobni rogovom samorogov. Z njimi bo suval ljudstvo skupaj h koncem zemlje, in oni so Efrájimovi deset tisoči in oni so Manásejevi deset tisoči.«
18 Of Zebulun he said, "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
O Zábulonu je rekel: »Veseli se Zábulon v svojem odhajanju in Isahár v svojih šotorih.
19 They shall call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they shall draw out the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand."
Ljudstvo bosta klicala h gori. Tam bodo darovali klavne daritve pravičnosti, kajti sesali bodo od obilja morij in od zakladov, skritih v pesku.«
20 Of Gad he said, "He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.
O Gadu je rekel: »Blagoslovljen bodi, kdor povečuje Gad. Ta prebiva kakor lev in trga laket s têmenom.
21 He provided the first part for himself, for there was the lawgiver's portion reserved. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of Jehovah, his ordinances with Israel."
Prvi del si je priskrbel zase, ker je bil tam, v deležu postavodajalca, dokončan; in prišel je s poglavarji ljudstva, izvršil je Gospodovo pravičnost in njegove sodbe z Izraelom.«
22 Of Dan he said, "Dan is a lion's cub that leaps out of Bashan."
O Danu je rekel: »Dan je levji mladič. Poskakoval bo iz Bašána.«
23 Of Naphtali he said, "Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of the blessing of Jehovah, Possess the west and the south."
O Neftáliju je rekel: »Oh Neftáli, nasičen z naklonjenostjo in poln Gospodovega blagoslova. Ti poseduj zahod in jug.«
24 Of Asher he said, "Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.
O Aserju je rekel: »Aser naj bo blagoslovljen z otroki. Sprejemljiv naj bo svojim bratom in naj svoje stopalo omoči v olju.
25 Your bars shall be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
Tvoji čevlji bodo železo in bron in kakor tvoji dnevi, takšna bo tvoja moč.
26 "There is none like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, In his majesty through the skies.
Nobenega ni podobnega Ješurúnovemu Bogu, ki jaha na nebesih v tvojo pomoč in v svoji odličnosti na nebu.
27 The God of old is a dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, 'Destroy.'
Večen Bog je tvoje zatočišče in spodaj so večne roke in on bo izpred tebe sunil sovražnika in rekel bo: ›Uniči jih.‹
28 Israel dwells in safety; the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
Potem bo Izrael sam prebival na varnem. Jakobov studenec bo na deželi žita in vina; tudi njegovo nebo bo kapljalo roso.
29 You are happy, Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency. Your enemies shall submit themselves to you. You shall tread on their high places."
Srečen si ti, oh Izrael. Kdo je tebi podoben, oh ljudstvo, rešeno po Gospodu, ščitu tvoje pomoči in kdo je meč tvoje odličnosti! In tvoji sovražniki ti bodo najdeni kot lažnivci, in teptal jih boš na njihovih visokih krajih.«
