Deuteronomy 33
1 This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the people of Israel before his death.
以下是神人摩西在未死之先為以色列人所祝的福：
2 He said: Yahweh came from Sinai and rose from Seir upon them. He shined out from Mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of holy ones. In his right hand were flashes of lightning.
他說：耶和華從西奈而來， 從西珥向他們顯現， 從巴蘭山發出光輝， 從萬萬聖者中來臨， 從他右手為百姓傳出烈火的律法。
3 Indeed, he loves the peoples; all his holy ones are in your hand, and they bowed down at your feet; they received your words.
他疼愛百姓； 眾聖徒都在他手中。 他們坐在他的腳下， 領受他的言語。
4 Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
摩西將律法傳給我們， 作為雅各會眾的產業。
5 Then there was a king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people had gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
百姓的眾首領， 以色列的各支派， 一同聚會的時候， 耶和華在耶書崙中為王。
6 Let Reuben live and not die, but may his men be few.
願呂便存活，不致死亡； 願他人數不致稀少。
7 This is the blessing for Judah. Moses said: Listen, Yahweh, to the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people again. Fight for him; be a help against his enemies.

8 About Levi, Moses said: Your Thummim and your Urim belong your loyal one, the one whom you tested at Massah, with whom you struggled at the waters of Meribah.
論利未說： 耶和華啊，你的土明和烏陵 都在你的虔誠人那裏。 你在瑪撒曾試驗他， 在米利巴水與他爭論。
9 The man who said about his father and mother, “I have not seen them.” Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor did he take account of his own children. For he guarded your word and kept your covenant.
他論自己的父母說： 我未曾看見； 他也不承認弟兄， 也不認識自己的兒女。 這是因利未人遵行你的話， 謹守你的約。
10 He teaches Jacob your decrees and Israel your law. He will put incense before you and whole burnt offerings on your altar.
他們要將你的典章教訓雅各， 將你的律法教訓以色列。 他們要把香焚在你面前， 把全牲的燔祭獻在你的壇上。
11 Bless, Yahweh, his possessions, and accept the work of his hands. Shatter the loins of those who rise up against him, and those of the people who hate him, so that they do not rise up again.
求耶和華降福在他的財物上， 悅納他手裏所辦的事。 那些起來攻擊他和恨惡他的人， 願你刺透他們的腰， 使他們不得再起來。

得太陽所曬熟的美果， 月亮所養成的寶物；
15 with the finest things of the ancient mountains, and with the precious things of the everlasting hills.
得上古之山的至寶， 永世之嶺的寶物；
16 May his land be blessed with the precious things of the earth and its abundance, and with the good will of him who was in the bush. Let the blessing come on the head of Joseph, and on the top of the head of him who was prince over his brothers.
得地和其中所充滿的寶物， 並住荊棘中上主的喜悅。 願這些福都歸於約瑟的頭上， 歸於那與弟兄迥別之人的頂上。
17 The firstborn of an ox, majestic is he, and his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will push the peoples, all of them, to the ends of the earth. These are the ten thousands of Ephraim; these are the thousands of Manasseh.

以色列安然居住； 雅各的本源獨居五穀新酒之地。 他的天也滴甘露。
29 Your blessings are many, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, and the sword of your majesty? Your enemies will come trembling to you; you will trample down their high places.
以色列啊，你是有福的！ 誰像你這蒙耶和華所拯救的百姓呢？ 他是你的盾牌，幫助你， 是你威榮的刀劍。 你的仇敵必投降你； 你必踏在他們的高處。
