Deuteronomy 33
1 This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
Dette er den Velsignelse, hvormed den Guds Mand Moses velsignede Israel før sin Død
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.
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 Yes, he loves the people. All his holy ones are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives 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; Nor let his men be few.”
Måtte Ruben leve og ikke dø, hans Mænd blive dog et Tal!
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.”
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 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.
Om Levi sagde han: Giv Levi dine Tummim, din Yndling dine Urim, ham, som du prøved ved Massa og bekæmped ved Meribas Vand,
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.
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 They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering 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 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.”
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 he said, “The beloved of the LORD 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 the LORD, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
Om Josef sagde han: Hans Land er velsignet af HERREN med det kosteligste fra Himlen oventil og fra Dybet, som ruger for neden,
14 for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,
med det kosteligste, Solen frembringer, med det kosteligste, Måneskifterne fremkalder,
15 for the best things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
med det bedste fra de ældgamle Bjerge og det kosteligste fra de evige Høje,
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.
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 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.”
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!
18 About Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
Om Zebulon sagde han: Glæd dig, Zebulon, over din Udfart, du, Issakar, over dine Telte!
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.”
Til Bjerget stævner de Folkeslag, der ofrer de Retfærds Ofre, thi Havets Overflod dier de og Havsandets skjulteste Skatte!
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.
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 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.”
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 he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps out of Bashan.”
Om Dan sagde han: Dan er en Løveunge, som springer frem fra Basan.
23 About Naphtali he said, “Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of the LORD’s blessing, Possess the west and the south.”
Om Naftali sagde han: Naftali er mæt af Nåde og fuld af HERRENs Velsignelse, Søen og Søvejen har han i Eje.
24 About Asher he said, “Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.

25 Your bars will be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
Dine Portslåer er Jern og Kobber, som dine dage skal din Styrke være.
26 “There is no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, in his excellency on the skies.
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 your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and 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 dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
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 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.”
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.
