Deuteronomy 33
1 This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children 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 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.
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 Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives 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 He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were 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; Nor let his men be few.”
願呂便存活，不致死亡； 願他人數不致稀少。
7 This is for Judah. He said, “Hear, Yahweh, 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.”
為猶大祝福說： 求耶和華俯聽猶大的聲音， 引導他歸於本族； 他曾用手為自己爭戰， 你必幫助他攻擊敵人。
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.
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 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.
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 They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering 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 Yahweh, 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.”
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。
12 About Benjamin he said, “The beloved of Yahweh will dwell in safety by him. He covers him all day long. He dwells between his shoulders.”

13 About Joseph he said, “His land is blessed by Yahweh, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
論約瑟說： 願他的地蒙耶和華賜福， 得天上的寶物、甘露， 以及地裏所藏的泉水；
14 for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,
得太陽所曬熟的美果， 月亮所養成的寶物；
15 for the best things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
得上古之山的至寶， 永世之嶺的寶物；
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.
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 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.”
他為牛群中頭生的，有威嚴； 他的角是野牛的角， 用以牴觸萬邦，直到地極。 這角是以法蓮的萬萬， 瑪拿西的千千。

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.”
他們要將列邦召到山上， 在那裏獻公義的祭； 因為他們要吸取海裏的豐富， 並沙中所藏的珍寶。
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.
論迦得說： 使迦得擴張的應當稱頌！ 迦得住如母獅； 他撕裂膀臂，連頭頂也撕裂。
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 Yahweh, His ordinances with Israel.”
他為自己選擇頭一段地， 因在那裏有設立律法者的分存留。 他與百姓的首領同來； 他施行耶和華的公義 和耶和華與以色列所立的典章。
22 About Dan he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps out of Bashan.”

永生的上帝是你的居所； 他永久的膀臂在你以下。 他在你前面攆出仇敵， 說：毀滅吧。
28 Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
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 You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on 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。
