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 from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones: At his right hand was a fiery law unto 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 loveth the peoples; 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, An inheritance for 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 was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people were gathered, All the tribes of Israel 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; Yet let 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 in unto his people: With his hands he contended for himself; And thou shalt be an help against 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, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy godly one, Whom thou didst prove at Massah, 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 of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him; Neither did he acknowledge his brethren, Nor knew he his own children: For they have observed thy word, And keep 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 offering 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 up 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 Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; He covereth him all the day long, And he dwelleth 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 things of the fruits of the sun, And for the precious things of the growth of the moons,
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 everlasting 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 the fulness thereof, And the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: Let [the blessing] come upon the head of Joseph, And upon the crown of the head of him that was separate 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 The firstling of his bullock, majesty is his; And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox: With them he shall push the peoples all of them, [even] 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 peoples unto the mountain; There shall they offer sacrifices of righteousness: For they shall suck the abundance of the seas, And the hidden treasures of 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 lioness, And teareth the arm, yea, 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, For there was the lawgiver’s portion reserved; 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, That leapeth forth from Bashan.

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, Blessed be Asher with children; Let him be acceptable unto 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 bars 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 God, O Jeshurun, Who rideth upon the heaven for thy help, And in his excellency on 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 [thy] dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms: And he thrust out the enemy from before thee, And said, 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 dwelleth in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of corn and wine; Yea, 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 Happy art thou, O Israel: Who is like unto thee, a people saved by the LORD, The shield of thy help, And that is the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves 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.
