Deuteronomy 33

1 This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

١ وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الْبَرَكَةُ الَّتِي بَارَكَ بِها مُوسَى، رَجُلُ اللهِ، بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ،

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.

٢ فَقَالَ: «أَقْبَلَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ سِينَاءَ، وَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ سَعِيرَ، وَتَأَلَّقَ فِي جَبَلِ فَارَانَ؛ جَاءَ مُحَاطاً بِعَشَرَاتِ الأُلُوفِ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ يُوْمِضُ بَرْقٌ عَلَيْهِمْ.

3 Yes, he loves the people. All his holy ones are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.

٣ حَقّاً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَ الشَّعْبَ؛ وَجَمِيعُ الْقِدِّيسِينَ فِي يَدِكَ، سَاجِدُونَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْكَ يَتَلَقَّوْنَ مِنْكَ أَقْوَالَكَ،

4 Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.

٤ الَّتِي تَشْتَمِلُ عَلَيْهَا الشَّرِيعَةُ الَّتِي أَوْصَانَا بِها مُوسَى، لِتَكُونَ مِيرَاثاً لِجَمَاعَةِ يَعْقُوبَ.

5 He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.

٥ صَارَ الرَّبُّ مَلِكاً لِشَعْبِهِ حِينَ اجْتَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعاً.

6 “Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.”

٦ لِيَحْيَ رَأُوبَيْنُ وَلا يَمُتْ، وَلْيَتَكَاثَرْ رِجَالُهُ».

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.”

٧ وَقَالَ عَنْ يَهُوذَا: «اسْمَعْ يَا رَبُّ دُعَاءَ يَهُوذَا، وَاجْمَعْ شَمْلَهُ بِقَوْمِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ بِيَدَيْهِ يُدَافِعُ عَنْ قَضِيَّتِهِ فَأَعِنْهُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ».

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.

٨ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ لاوِي: «لَقَدْ أَعْطَيْتَ يَا رَبُّ تُمِّيمَكَ وَأُورِيمَكَ لِرَجُلِكَ الَّذِي جَرَّبْتَهُ وَامْتَحَنْتَهُ فِي مَسَّةَ، وَخَاصَمْتَهُ عِنْدَ مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ.

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.

٩ الَّذِي قَالَ عَنْ وَالِدَيْهِ: لَمْ أَرَهُمَا، وَبِإِخْوَتِهِ لَمْ يَعْتَرِفْ، وَأَنْكَرَ أَبْنَاءَهُ، بَلْ أَطَاعُوا وَصَايَاكَ وَصَانُوا عَهْدَكَ.

10 They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.

١٠ هُمْ يُعَلِّمُونَ يَعْقُوبَ أَحْكَامَكَ وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ شَرِيعَتَكَ، يُحْرِقُونَ بَخُوراً أَمَامَ أَنْفِكَ وَقَرَابِينَ عَلَى مَذْبَحِكَ

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.”

١١ بَارِكْ يَا رَبُّ مَهَارَاتِهِمْ وَاغْتَبِطْ بِعَمَلِ أَيْدِيهِمْ. حَطِّمْ مُتُونَ مُقَاوِمِيهِمْ وَمُبْغِضِيهِمْ فَلا تَقُومَ لَهُمْ قَائِمَةٌ».

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.”

١٢ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ: «إِنَّهُ حَبِيبُ الرَّبِّ، يَسْكُنُ لَدَيْهِ آمِناً، يَصُونُهُ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَبَيْنَ مِنْكَبَيْهِ يَسْكُنُ مُطْمَئِنّاً».

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,

١٣ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ: «لِيُبَارِكِ الرَّبُّ أَرْضَهُ بِنَفَائِسِ قَطَرَاتِ نَدَى السَّمَاءِ، وَبِلُجَجِ الْمِيَاهِ الْغَائِرَةِ مِنْ تَحْتُ،

14 for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,

١٤ وَبِخَيْرِ مَا تُنْمِيهِ الشَّمْسُ وَمَا تُغِلُّهُ الأَقْمَارُ،

15 for the best things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,

١٥ وَبِأَنْفَسِ مَا تَدَّخِرُهُ الْجِبَالُ الْقَدِيمَةُ، وَبِأَثْمَنِ كُنُوزِ التِّلالِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ،

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.

١٦ وَبِأَفْضَلِ خَيْرَاتِ الأَرْضِ وَبَرَكَاتِهَا، وَبِرِضَى السَّاكِنِ فِي الْعُلَّيْقَةِ. فَلْتَنْسَكِبْ هَذِهِ جَمِيعُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِ يُوسُفَ، عَلَى جَبِينِ الأَمِيرِ بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ.

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.”

١٧ فَهُوَ فِي جَلالِهِ كَالثَّوْرِ الْبِكْرِ، وَقَرْنَاهُ مِثْلُ قَرْنَيْ ثَوْرٍ وَحْشِيٍّ، يَنْطَحُ بِهِمَا الشُّعُوبَ، حَتَّى أُولَئِكَ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. لِتَكُنْ هَكَذَا عَشَرَاتُ أُلُوفِ أَفْرَايِمَ، لِتَكُنْ هَكَذَا أُلُوفُ مَنَسَّى».

18 About Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.

١٨ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطَيْ زَبُولُونَ وَيَسَّاكَرَ: «افْرَحْ يَا زَبُولُونُ بِخُرُوجِكَ، وَأَنْتَ يَا يَسَّاكَرُ بِخِيَامِكَ،

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.”

١٩ فَإِنَّهُمَا يَدْعُوَانِ الشَّعْبَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ حَيْثُ يُقَرِّبَانِ مُحْرَقَاتِ الْبِرِّ، لأَنَّهُمَا يَشْبَعَانِ مِنْ خَيْرَاتِ الْبِحَارِ، وَمِنَ الذَّخَائِرِ الْكَامِنَةِ فِي الرَّمْلِ».

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.

٢٠ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ جَادٍ: «لِتَحِلَّ الْبَرَكَةُ عَلَى مَنْ وَسَّعَ تُخُومَ جَادٍ حَيْثُ يَرْبِضُ جَادٌ هُنَاكَ كَالأَسَدِ، يَفْتَرِسُ الذِّرَاعَ مَعَ قِمَّةِ الرَّأْسِ.

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.”

٢١ اخْتَارَ خَيْرَ الأَرْضِ لِنَفْسِهِ، وَاحْتَفَظَ لِنَفْسِهِ بِنَصِيبِ الْقَائِدِ: وَعِنْدَمَا اجْتَمَعَ شُيُوخُ الشَّعْبِ أَجْرَى حَقَّ الرَّبِّ الْعَادِلِ وَأَحْكَامَهُ مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

22 About Dan he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps out of Bashan.”

٢٢ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ دَانٍ: «دَانٌ مِثْلُ شِبْلِ أَسَدٍ يَنْقَضُّ مِنْ بَاشَانَ».

23 About Naphtali he said, “Naphtali, satisfied with favour, full of the LORD’s blessing, Possess the west and the south.”

٢٣ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي: «اشْبَعْ يَا نَفْتَالِي رِضًى، وَامْتَلِئْ بَرَكَةً مِنَ الرَّبِّ، وَامْلِكْ سَاحِلَ الْبَحْرِ الْمُتَوَسِّطِ وَالنَّقَبِ».

24 About Asher he said, “Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.

٢٤ وَقَالَ عَنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ: «أَشِيرُ الابْنُ الأَكْثَرُ مُبَارَكَةً. فَلْيَكُنْ صَاحِبَ حُظْوَةٍ عِنْدَ إِخْوَتِهِ، وَلْيَغْمِسْ فِي الزَّيْتِ قَدَمَيْهِ.

25 Your bars will be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.

٢٥ وَلْتَكُنْ مَزَالِيجُ أَبْوَابِكَ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَنُحَاسٍ، وَلْتُعَادِلْ قُوَّتُكَ امْتِدَادَ أَيَّامِكَ.

26 “There is no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, in his excellency on the skies.

٢٦ لَيْسَ نَظِيرَ الرَّبِّ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَمْتَطِي السَّمَاءَ لِمَعُونَتِكُمْ وَالْغَمَامَ فِي عَظَمَتِهِ،

27 The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’

٢٧ فَالإِلَهُ الأَبَدِيُّ هُوَ مَلْجَأُكُمْ، وَتَحْتَكُمْ تَنْبَسِطُ الأَذْرُعُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ، يَطْرُدُ أَمَامَكُمْ أَعْدَاءَكُمْ قَائِلاً: أَهْلِكُوهُمْ.

28 Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.

٢٨ لِيَسْكُنْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ آمِنِينَ وَحْدَهُمْ، وَلْتَجْرِ يَنَابِيعُ مَاءِ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى أَرْضِ قَمْحٍ وَخَمْرٍ، وَتَقْطُرْ سَمَاؤُهُ بِالنَّدَى.

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.”

٢٩ طُوبَاكُمْ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، أَيُّ شَعْبٍ مِثْلُكُمْ مُنْتَصِرٌ بِالرَّبِّ؟ إِنَّهُ تُرْسُكُمْ وَعَوْنُكُمْ وَسَيْفُكُمُ الْمَجِيدُ. لَكُمْ يَخْضَعُ أَعْدَاؤُكُمْ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَطَأُونَ مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِمْ».
