Deuteronomy 33
1 This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
Men benediksyon Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, te bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo anvan li mouri.
2 He said, “The LORD came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them. He shone from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
Li di: -Seyè a soti mòn Sinayi, li leve tankou solèy lòt bò peyi Seyi. L'ap klere depi sou tèt mòn Paran an. Li rive jouk Meriba nan peyi Kadès. Sou bò dwat li yon flanm dife.
3 Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.
Seyè a renmen tout pèp sou latè. Men, li pwoteje tout moun k'ap viv apa pou li. Yo bese nan pye l'. Yo resevwa lòd l'ap ba yo.
4 Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
Moyiz ban nou lalwa. Se yon byen li kite pou tout fanmi Jakòb la.
5 He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
Seyè a te wa nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la lè tout chèf pèp la te reyini, lè tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la te sanble.
6 “Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.”
Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Woubenn lan: Se pou Woubenn viv lontan! Fanmi li p'ap janm disparèt, malgre li pa gen anpil moun.
7 This is for Judah. He said, “Hear, LORD, 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.”
Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Jida a: Seyè, koute vwa moun fanmi Jida yo! Fè yo mete tèt yo ansanm ankò ak rès pèp la. Goumen pou yo, Seyè! Se pou ou ede yo lè y'ap batay ak lènmi l' yo.
8 About Levi he said, “Your Thummim and your Urim are with your godly one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you contended at the waters of Meribah.
Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Levi a: Seyè! Se ou menm ki pou fè yo konnen volonte ou. Y'ap sèvi ou san lage. Ou te sonde yo bò Masa. Ou te kenbe tèt ak yo bò sous dlo Meriba yo.
9 He said of his father, and of his mother, ‘I have not seen him.’ He didn’t acknowledge his brothers, nor did he know his own children; for they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.
Yo pa konn papa! Yo pa konn manman! Yo pa konn frè! Yo pa konn pitit! Se lòd ou yo y'ap swiv, se kontra ou la y'ap kenbe fèm.
10 They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.
Y'a moutre pitit Jakòb yo regleman ou yo. Y'a moutre pitit Izrayèl yo lalwa ou la. Y'a boule lansan devan ou, y'a ofri sou lòtèl bèt yo touye pou boule nèt pou ou.
11 LORD, bless his skills. Accept the work of his hands. Strike through the hips of those who rise up against him, of those who hate him, that they not rise again.”
Seyè, ba yo anpil kouraj! Se pou yo fè ou plezi nan tou sa y'ap fè! Kase ren moun ki pa vle wè yo. Se pou lènmi l' yo pa ka leve tèt ankò.
12 About Benjamin he said, “The beloved of the LORD will dwell in safety by him. He covers him all day long. He dwells between his shoulders.”
Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Benjamen an: Se moun Seyè a renmen anpil. Y'a viv ak kè poze bò kote l'. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la va toujou pwoteje yo, l'a moute kay li nan mitan yo.
13 About Joseph he said, “His land is blessed by the LORD, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Jozèf la: Se pou Seyè a beni peyi ki pou yo a. L'a voye bonkou lapli sot nan syèl la, l'a fè sous dlo pete toupatou.
14 for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,
L'a fè pyebwa ki donnen chak lanne bay bon rekòt. L'a fè pyebwa ki donnen chak sezon bay bon fwi.
15 for the best things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
L'a fè vye mòn yo bay bèl rekòt. L'a fè vye tè mòn yo bay pi bon manje ki genyen.
16 for the precious 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 separated from his brothers.
L'a fè tè yo a bay tout kalite bon rekòt. Bondye ki te pale nan touf raje a va ba yo favè l'. Se pou tout benediksyon sa yo tonbe sou tèt Jozèf, paske nan tout pitit papa li yo, se li menm yo te chwazi.
17 Majesty belongs to the firstborn of his herd. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he will push all the peoples to the ends of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh.”
Li byen kanpe tankou premye pitit yon towo bèf. L'ap gen fòs kouraj yon bèf savann. L'ap bat tout pèp ki sou latè ak kout kòn, l'ap kouri dèyè yo jouk nan dènye bout latè. Wi, se sa tout milyon moun Efrayim yo ak tout kantite moun Manase yo pral fè.
18 About Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Zabilon an ak branch fanmi Isaka a: Nou menm moun Zabilon yo, se pou trafik sou lanmè nou mache byen. Nou menm moun Isaka yo, se pou komès n'ap fè lakay nou mache byen tou.
19 They will call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they will draw out the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand.”
Yo rele tout moun lòt nasyon yo vin sou mòn lan. Se la y'a fè ofrann Bondye mande yo, paske yo fè tout lajan yo sou lanmè, nan komès yo fè sou lanmè ak nan trafik lakòt y'ap fè toupatou.
20 About Gad he said, “He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm and the crown of the head.
Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Gad la: Lwanj pou Bondye ki bay Gad anpil tè pou l' rete. Gad kouche tankou yon lyon k'ap veye, pou l' dechire yon bra, yon tèt, yon figi.
21 He provided the first part for himself, for the lawgiver’s portion was reserved for him. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of the LORD, His ordinances with Israel.”
Yo pran pi bon venn tè a pou yo. Se pòsyon tè ki toujou vin pou chèf. Se yo k'ap mache devan pèp la. Yo fè tou sa Seyè a te mande, yo swiv tout regleman Seyè a te bay pèp Izrayèl la.
22 About Dan he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps out of Bashan.”
Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Dann lan: Dann se yon jenn ti lyon k'ap kouri soti peyi Bazan.
23 About Naphtali he said, “Naphtali, satisfied with favour, full of the LORD’s blessing, Possess the west and the south.”
Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Neftali a: Neftali resevwa kont benediksyon l'. Seyè a fè l' anpil anpil favè. Pòsyon tè yo ap soti bò letan an, l'ap desann jouk nan pwent sid peyi a.
24 About Asher he said, “Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.
Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Asè a: Nan tout pitit Jakòb yo, benediksyon pou Asè! Tout frè li yo ap renmen l'. Se pou tè li yo rich ak pye oliv.
25 Your bars will be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
Se pou pòtay lavil li yo fèt an fè ak an asye, pou li ka toujou viv ak kè poze.
26 “There is no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, in his excellency on the skies.
Pa gen tankou Bondye moun pèp Izrayèl la. Li kouri sou nwaj yo nan syèl la pou l' vin pote yo sekou avèk fòs ponyèt li.
27 The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’
Bondye ki la pou tout tan an ap pwoteje nou. L'ap pran dèfans nou ak pouvwa li ki p'ap janm fini. L'ap fè lènmi nou yo kouri met deyò devan nou, l'ap ban nou lòd pou nou detwi yo nèt.
28 Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
Pèp Izrayèl la ap viv ak kè poze. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo p'ap viv tankou lòt nasyon yo. Y'ap viv nan yon peyi k'ap bay anpil farin ak diven, nan yon peyi kote ki p'ap janm manke lapli.
29 You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on their high places.”
Ala bon sa bon pou nou, moun pèp Izrayèl! Pa gen tankou nou! Se Seyè a menm ki delivrans nou! Se li ki pwoteksyon nou! Se li ki defans nou! L'ap mache devan nou pou l' fè nou genyen batay la. Lènmi nou yo va vin mande padon nan pye nou. Men nou menm, n'a kraze sa ki fè lògèy yo a anba pye nou.
