Deuteronomy 33

1 And this [is] the with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of Israel before his death.

Eyi ne nhyira a Onyankopɔn nipa Mose de hyiraa Israelfo no ansa na ɔrewu:

2 And he said, the LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir to them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them.

Ose, “Awurade fi Sinai bae ofi Seir baa wɔn so; ɔhran fi Paran bepɔw so. Ɔde akronkronfo pii bae fi anafo fam ne mmepɔw nsian so.

3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints [are] in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; [every one] shall receive of thy words.

Nokware ni, wo na wodɔ nnipa no, akronkronfo nyinaa wɔ wo nsam. Wɔn nyinaa kotow wo nan ase, na wonya nkyerɛkyerɛ fi wo hɔ,

4 Moses commanded us a law; [even] the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

mmara a Mose de maa yɛn no; Yakob nkurɔfo agyapade.

5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people [and] the tribes of Israel were assembled.

Ɔyɛɛ ɔhene wɔ Yeshurun bere a nnipa no ntuanofo hyiae, wɔne Israel mmusuakuw no.

6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let [not] his men be few.

“Ma Ruben nya nkwa na onwu, na mma ne nkurɔfo so nhuan.”

7 And this [is the blessing] of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people: let his hands be sufficient for him, and be thou a help [to him] from his enemies.

Na ɔkaa eyi faa Yuda ho: “Tie, Awurade, tie Yuda sufrɛ; fa no brɛ ne nkurɔfo. Ɔde nʼankasa nsa bɔ ne ho ban. Ao, yɛ ne boafo tia nʼatamfo!”

8 And of Levi he said, [Let] thy Thummim and thy Urim [be] with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, [and with] whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

Asɛm a ɔka faa Lewi abusuakuw ho: “Awurade, wode ade kronkron ama wʼasomfo nokwafo Lewifo. Wosɔɔ wɔn hwɛe wɔ Masa wɔne wɔn koe wɔ Meriba asu ho.

9 Who said to his father and to his mother, I have not seen him, neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor know his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.

Lewifo tiee wʼasɛm bɔɔ wʼapam no ho ban. Wodii wo nokware sen sɛnea wodii wɔn awofo, abusuafo ne wɔn mma nokware.

10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law; they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thy altar.

Afei, ma wɔnkyerɛ Yakob wo mmara no. Ma wɔmfa wo nkyerɛkyerɛ no mma Israelfo. Wɔde aduhuam bɛba wʼanim Abɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka so.

11 Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

Hyira Lewifo, Ao Awurade na ma wɔn nsa ano nnwuma nsɔ wʼani. Bubu wɔn atamfo; bɔ wɔn atamfo hwe fam a wɔnsɔre bio.”

12 [And] of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; [and the LORD] shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Benyamin abusuakuw ho: “Ma Awurade dɔ nnye ntin wɔ Benyamin nkurɔfo mu, efisɛ ɔbɔ wɔn ho ban daa nyinaa, na nea Awurade dɔ no no nhome wɔ ne nwini ase daa.”

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,

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Yosef mmusuakuw ho: “Awurade mfa ne sorosoro bosu a ɛsom bo ne bun mu nsu a efi asase ase no, nhyira wɔn nsase.

14 And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,

Ɔmfa ne nnepa efi owia mu ba ne adonne a ebetumi apue afi ɔsram so;

15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,

ne nnɔbae pa a efi tete mmepɔw mu ne nea abu so wɔ nkoko a etim hɔ daa mu

16 And for the precious things of the earth and fullness of it, and [for] the good will of him that dwelt in the bush; let [the blessing] come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

ne akyɛde a ɛso nni a efi asase ne ne mayɛ mu, ne adom a efi nea na ɔte nwura a ɛhyew mu no. Saa nhyira yi nyinaa mmra Yosef ti so, nea ɔyɛ ne nuanom mu ɔheneba no anintɔn mu.

17 His glory [is like] the firstling of his bullock, and his horns [are like] the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.

Yosef sɛ nantwinini a ɔyɛ abakan wɔ ahenni mu. Ne ahoɔden te sɛ ɔtrɔm mmɛn. Ɔde bɛwowɔ aman no, wɔn a wɔwɔ asase ano no mpo. Eyinom ne Efraim mpem du du no; eyinom ne Manase mpempem no.”

18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and Issachar, in thy tents.

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Sebulon ne Isakar mmusuakuw ho: “Sebulon asefo, munni anigye wɔ mo adifi mu. Isakar asefo, munni anigye wɔ mo ntamadan mu.

19 They shall call the people to the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck [of] the abundance of the seas, and [of] treasures hid in the sand.

Wɔbɛfrɛ nnipa ahorow akɔ bepɔw no so kɔbɔ trenee afɔre wɔ hɔ; wobefi po mu adenya mmoroso mu ato pon afi ademude a ahintaw wɔ nwea mu.”

20 And of Gad he said: Blessed [be] he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Gad abusuakuw ho: “Nhyira nka obi a ɔtrɛw Gad mantam mu! Gad te hɔ sɛ gyata a ɔretetew abasa anaa eti.

21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, [in] a portion of the lawgiver, [was he] seated: and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.

Gad nkurɔfo paw asase pa no maa wɔn ho; ɔkannifo kyɛfa na wɔde maa wɔn. Bere a nkurɔfo no mpanyimfo hyiae no, wɔyɛɛ Awurade atɛntrenee apɛde no, ne nʼatemmu a ɛfa Israelfo ho no.”

22 And of Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Dan abusuakuw ho: “Dan yɛ gyata ba a, ɔrepue afi Basan.”

23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Naftali abusuakuw ho: “Naftali wɔ adom bebree na Awurade nhyira ayɛ wo ma; ɔtare no anafo fam bɛyɛ wo kyɛfa.”

24 And of Asher he said, [Let] Asher [be] blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Aser abusuakuw ho: “Mma no mu nea wɔahyira no koraa ne Aser; wɔmma ne nuanom mpɛ nʼasɛm, na ɔmfa ngo nguare nʼanan ase.

25 Thy shoes [shall be] iron and brass; and as thy days, [so shall] thy strength [be].

Wʼapon ho nkyerewa nyɛ dade ne kɔbere mfrafrae; wʼahoɔden ne wo nkwanna bɛsae so.

26 [There is] none like to the God of Jeshurun, [who] rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellence on the sky.

“Onyankopɔn biara nni hɔ sɛ Yeshurun Nyankopɔn; a ɔnam ɔsorosoro ne nʼahenni mu mununkum so ba bɛboa wo.

27 The eternal God [is thy] refuge, and underneath [are] the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say, Destroy [them].

Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ hɔ daa yɛ wo guankɔbea; nea ɛwɔ ase no ne abasa a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no. Ɔbɛpam wʼatamfo afi wʼanim; ɔbɛka se, ‘Sɛe wɔn!’

28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone; the fountain of Jacob [shall be] upon a land of corn and wine, also his heavens shall drop down dew.

Enti, Israel bɛtena ase dwoodwoo; Yakob benya bammɔ wɔ asase a atoko ne nsa foforo wɔ so, faako a ɔsoro bosu gugu.

29 Happy [art] thou, O Israel: who [is] like to thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who [is] the sword of thy excellence! and thy enemies shall be found liars to thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.

Nhyira nka mo, Israel! Hena na ɔte sɛ mo, nnipa a Awurade agye mo nkwa. Ɔyɛ mo nkatabo ne boafo ne mo anuonyam afoa! Mo atamfo bɛkotow mo anim, na moatiatia wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea.”
