Deuteronomy 33
1 This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the people of Israel before his death.
Dette er den Velsignelse, hvormed den Guds Mand Moses velsignede Israel før sin Død
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.
Han sagde: HERREN kom fra Sinaj, fra Seir fremstråled han for dem, brød frem i Lysglans fra Parans Bjerge og kom fra Meribat Kadesj. Ved hans højre lued Ild dem i Møde.
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.
Visselig, han elsker sit Folk, alle hans hellige er i hans Hænder; og de sætter sig ved din Fod og tager mod Ord fra dig.
4 Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
En Lov har Moses pålagt os. Hans Eje er Jakobs Forsamling,

og han blev Konge i Jesjurun, da Folkets Høvdinger kom sammen, og Israels Stammer forsamled sig.
6 Let Reuben live and not die, but may his men be few.
Måtte Ruben leve og ikke dø, hans Mænd blive dog et Tal!
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.
Og disse Ord sagde han om Juda: Hør, HERRE, Judas Råb og lad ham komme til sit Folk! Strid for ham med dine Hænder, vær ham en Hjælp mod hans Fjender!
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.
Om Levi sagde han: Giv Levi dine Tummim, din Yndling dine Urim, ham, som du prøved ved Massa og bekæmped ved Meribas Vand,
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.
som sagde om sin Fader: "Jeg så ham aldrig!" som ikke brød sig om sine Brødre og ikke kendtes ved sine Sønner, thi de holdt dit Ord og holdt fast ved din Pagt.
10 He teaches Jacob your decrees and Israel your law. He will put incense before you and whole burnt offerings on your altar.
De skal lære Jakob dine Lovbud og Israel din Lov, bringe Offerduft op i din Næse og Helofre på dine Altre.
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.
Velsign, o HERRE, hans Kraft, find Behag i hans Hænders Værk. Knus Lænderne på hans Fjender, på hans Avindsmænd, så de ej rejser sig mer!
12 About Benjamin, Moses said: The one loved by Yahweh lives in security beside him; Yahweh shields him all the day long, and he lives between Yahweh's arms.

13 About Joseph, Moses said: May his land be blessed by Yahweh with the precious things of heaven, with the dew, and with the deep that lies beneath.

14 May his land be blessed with the precious things of the harvest of the sun, with the precious things of the produce of the months,
med det kosteligste, Solen frembringer, med det kosteligste, Måneskifterne fremkalder,
15 with the finest things of the ancient mountains, and with the precious things of the everlasting hills.
med det bedste fra de ældgamle Bjerge og det kosteligste fra de evige Høje,
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.
med det kosteligste af Jorden og dens Fylde og Nåde fra ham, der boede i Tornebusken. Det skal komme over Josefs Hoved, over Issen på ham, som er Hersker blandt sine Brødre.
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.
Som den unge Okses er hans Højhed, som Vildoksens er hans Horn; med dem nedstøder han Folkene, så vidt som Jorden strækker sig. Sådan er Efraims Titusinder, sådan er Manasses Tusinder!

20 About Gad, Moses said: Blessed be he who enlarges Gad. He will live there like a lioness, and he will tear off an arm or a head.
Om Gad sagde han: Priset være han, der skaffer Plads for Gad! Han ligger som en Løve og flænger både Arme og Hjerneskal;
21 He provided the best part for himself, for there was the leader's portion of land reserved. He came with the heads of the people. He carried out the justice of Yahweh and his decrees with Israel.
han udså sig en Forlodsdel, thi der tilfaldt hans Lod ham. Og Folkets Høvdinger samled sig. Han fuldbyrdede HERRENs Ret og hans Beslutninger sammen med Israel!
22 About Dan, Moses said: Dan is a lion cub that leaps out from Bashan.
Om Dan sagde han: Dan er en Løveunge, som springer frem fra Basan.
23 About Naphtali, Moses said: Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full of the blessing of Yahweh, take possession of the land to the west and south.

24 About Asher, Moses said: Blessed be Asher more than the other sons; let him be acceptable to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in olive oil.

Der er ingen som Jesjuruns Gud, der farer frem over Himmelen for at hjælpe dig, over Skyerne i sin Højhed!
27 The eternal God is a refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and he said, “Destroy!”
Den evige Gud er en Bolig, og hernede er de evige Arme. Fjenden drev han bort for dit Åsyn og sagde: "Tilintetgør dem!"
28 Israel dwelt in safety. Jacob's spring was secure in a land of grain and new wine; indeed, let his heavens drop dew on him.
Så kom Israel til at bo i Tryghed, Jakobkilden for sig selv, i et Land med Korn og Most, ja, hvis Himmel drypper med Dug.
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.
Held dig, Israel, hvo er som du, et Folk, der får Sejr ved HERREN! Han er din Frelses Skjold, haner din Højheds Sværd. Dine Fjender slesker for dig, over deres Høje skrider du frem.
