Deuteronomy 33
1 This is the blessing, bi which Moises, the man of God, blesside the sones of Israel bifor his deeth;
這是天主的人，梅瑟死前賜予以四色列子民的祝福。
2 and seide, The Lord cam fro Syna, and he roos to us fro Seir; he apperide fro the hil of Pharan, and thousandis of seyntis with hym; a lawe of fier in his riythond.
他說：「上主由西乃而來，從色依爾光照他的百姓，由帕蘭山射出光輝，從卡德士的默黎巴前進，由他的右邊有烈火發出。
3 He louede puplis; alle seyntis ben in his hond, and thei that neiyen to hise feet schulen take of his doctryn.
你實在愛你的人民，眾聖者都在你手中；他們俯伏在你腳前，領受你的教導。
4 Moisis comaundide lawe `to vs, eritage of the multitude of Jacob.
梅瑟給我們立定法律，作為雅各伯會眾的產業時，
5 And the king schal be at the moost riytful, whanne princes of the puple schulen be gaderid togidere with the lynagis of Israel.
人民的首領與以色列支派會合時，上主在耶叔戎中作了王。
6 Ruben lyue, and die not, and be he litil in noumbre.
願勒烏本生存，不至滅亡! 願他的人數不再減少! 」
7 This is the blessyng of Juda; Lord, here thou the vois of Juda, and brynge in hym to his puple; hise hondis schulen fiyte for hym, and the helpere of hym schal be ayens hise aduersaries.
他論及猶大這樣說：「上主! 願你俯聽猶大的聲音，領他重歸自己的民族；以你的手為他交戰，協助他抵抗他的仇敵! 」
8 Also he seide to Leuy, Thi perfeccioun and thi techyng is of an hooly man, whom thou preuedist in temptacioun, and demedist at the Watris of Ayenseiynge;
論及肋未說：「願你將你的「突明」賜給肋未，將你的「烏陵」，賜給對你虔誠的人，就是你在瑪撒曾試探過，在默黎巴水旁曾考驗過的人，
9 which Leuy seide to his fadir and to his modir, Y knowe not you, and to hise britheren, Y knowe not hem; and knewen not her sones. These kepten thi speche, and these kepten thi couenaunt; A!
也就是那些論及自己的父母說：我沒有顧及他們，對自己的兄弟不加重視，對自己的子女也漠不關心的人! 他們只遵守你的話，持守你的盟約。
10 Jacob, thei kepten thi domes, and `thou, Israel, thei kepten thi lawe; thei schulen putte encense in thi strong veniaunce, and brent sacrifice on thin auter.
他們要將你的誡命教給雅各伯，將你的法律授給以色列；在你面前獻上馨香，在祭壇上獻上全燔祭。
11 Lord, blesse thou the strengthe of hym, and resseyue thou the werkis of his hondis; smyte thou the backis of hise enemyes, and thei that haten hym, rise not.
上主! 願你祝福他的勇力，悅納他手中的作為；對反抗他的人，願你打斷他們的腰，使惱恨他的人，再也不得起立! 」
12 And he seide to Benjamyn, The moost loued of the Lord schal dwelle tristili in hym, `that is, in the Lord; he schal dwelle al day as in a chaumbur, and he schal reste bitwixe the schuldris of hym.
論及本雅明說：「上主所鍾愛的，他必安居樂業；至高者日日庇護他，住在他兩肩之間。」
13 Also he seide to Joseph, `His lond is of the Lordis blessyng; of the applis of heuene, and of the dewe, and of watir liggynge bynethe;
論及若瑟說：「願他的地蒙受上主的祝福! 願天上甘露，地下深藏的淵泉，
14 of the applis of fruytis of the sunne and moone; of the coppe of elde munteyns,
因太陽而出產的美果，靠月亮而出產的寶物，
15 and of the applis of euerlastynge litle hillis;
太古山岳的珍品，永恒丘陵的美物，
16 and of the fruytis of the lond, and of the fulnesse therof. The blessyng of hym that apperide in the busch come on the heed of Joseph, and on the cop of Nazarey, `that is, hooli, among hise britheren.
地上的寶物及其富藏，以及住在荊棘叢中者的恩惠，都臨到若瑟頭上，降在兄弟中為首者的頭頂上!
17 As the first gendrid of a bole is the feirnesse of hym; the hornes of an vnicorn ben the hornes of hym; in tho he schal wyndewe folkis, `til to the termes of erthe. These ben the multitudis of Effraym, and these ben the thousyndis of Manasses.
他的健壯有如頭胎的公牛，他的雙角像是野牛的雙角，用以抵觸萬民，直到地極。這是厄弗辣因的萬軍，即是默納協的勁旅。」
18 And he seide to Zabulon, Zabulon, be thou glad in thi goyng out, and, Ysacar, in thi tabernaclis.
論及則步隆說：「則步隆! 你要在旅途中喜樂；至於你、依撒加爾! 你要在帳幕內歡樂。
19 Thei schulen clepe puplis to the hil, there thei schulen offre sacrifices of riytfulnesse; whiche schulen souke the flowing of the see as mylk, and hid tresours of grauel.
他們要邀請人民上山，在那裏奉獻應獻的祭祀，因為他們要吸收海洋的富饒，沙中潛藏的珠寶。」
20 And he seide to Gad, Gad is blessid in broodnesse; he restide as a lioun, and he took the arm and the nol.
論及加得說：「那使加得擴張的，應受讚美! 他臥下彷彿一隻母獅，撕裂了人的手臂和頭顱。
21 And he siy his prinshed, that `the techere was kept in his part; which Gad was with the princes of the puple, and dide the riytfulnesses of the Lord, and his doom with Israel.
他為自己選取了為首的一分，因為那原是為首領保留的一分。他走在人民之前，執行了上主的法令，和他對以色列的旨意。」
22 Also he seide to Dan, Dan, a whelp of a lioun, schal flowe largeli fro Basan.
論及丹說：「丹好似由巴商跳出的幼獅。」
23 And he seide to Neptalym, Neptalym schal vse abundaunce, and he schal be ful with blessyngis of the Lord; and he schal welde the see and the south.

25 Yrun and bras the scho of hym; as the dai of thi youthe so and thin eelde.
願你有銅鐵的門閂；願你一生獲享安寧! 」
26 Noon other god is as the God of the moost riytful, that is, `as the God `of the puple of Israel, gouerned bi moost riytful lawe; the stiere of heuene is thin helpere; cloudis rennen aboute bi the glorie of hym.
沒有一個像耶叔戎的天主，他騰空駕雲，在威嚴中來援助你。
27 His dwellynge place is aboue, and armes euerlastynge ben bynethe; he schal caste out fro thi face the enemy, and he schal seie, Be thou al to-brokun.
亙古的天主是你的避難所，他永遠的手臂是你的支柱；他由你面前驅走了敵人，是他向你下命說：毀滅罷!
28 Israel schal dwelle trustili and aloone; the iye of Jacob in the lond of whete, and of wyn; and heuenes schulen be derk with dew.
因此，以色列能以安居樂業，雅各伯的後裔定居在產糧出酒之地，天也從上降下甘露。
29 Blessed art thou, Israel; thou puple that art saued in the Lord, who is lijk thee? The scheld of thin help and the swerd of thi glorie is thi God; thin enemyes schulen denye thee, and thou schalt trede her neckis.
以色列，你真是有福的；為上主所拯救的人民，有誰相似你﹖他是你護身的盾牌，是使你勝利的刀劍。你的仇敵必將奉承你，而你卻要踐踏他們的背脊。
