Deuteronomy 33
1 And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,
這是天主的人，梅瑟死前賜予以四色列子民的祝福。
2 and he saith: — 'Jehovah from Sinai hath come, And hath risen from Seir for them; He hath shone from mount Paran, And hath come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [are] springs for them.
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 Also He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in thy hand, And they — they sat down at thy foot, [Each] He lifteth up at thy words.
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 A law hath Moses commanded us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob.
梅瑟給我們立定法律，作為雅各伯會眾的產業時，
5 And he is in Jeshurun king, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes 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 Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be a number.
願勒烏本生存，不至滅亡! 願他的人數不再減少! 」
7 And this [is] for Judah; and he saith: — Hear, O Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And unto his people do Thou bring him in; His hand hath striven for him, And an help from his adversaries art Thou.
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 And of Levi he said: — Thy Thummim and thy Urim [are] for thy pious one, Whom Thou hast tried in Massah, Thou dost strive with Him at the waters of Meribah;
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 Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And his brethren he hath not discerned, And his sons he hath not known; For they have observed Thy saying, And Thy covenant they keep.
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 They teach Thy judgments to Jacob, And Thy law to Israel; They put perfume in Thy nose, And whole burnt-offering on Thine altar.
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 Bless, O Jehovah, his strength, And the work of his hands Thou acceptest, Smite the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him — that they 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 Of Benjamin he said: — The beloved of Jehovah doth tabernacle confidently by him, Covering him over all the day; Yea, between his shoulders He doth tabernacle.
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 And of Joseph he said: — Blessed of Jehovah [is] his land, By precious things of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath,
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 And by precious things — fruits of the sun, And by precious things — cast forth by the moons,
因太陽而出產的美果，靠月亮而出產的寶物，
15 And by chief things — of the ancient mountains, And by precious things — of the age-during heights,
太古山岳的珍品，永恒丘陵的美物，
16 And by precious things — of earth and its fulness, And the good pleasure Of Him who is dwelling in the bush, — Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him Who is separate from his brethren.
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 His honour [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a reem; By them peoples he doth push together To the ends of earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
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 of Zebulun he said: — Rejoice, O Zebulun, in thy going out, And, O Issachar, in thy tents;
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 Peoples [to] the mountain they call, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For the abundance of the seas they suck, And hidden things hidden in the sand.
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 of Gad he said: — Blessed of the Enlarger [is] Gad, As a lioness he doth tabernacle, And hath torn the arm — also the crown!
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 provideth the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he cometh [with] the heads of the people; The righteousness of Jehovah he hath done, And His judgments 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 And of Dan he said: — Dan [is] a lion's whelp; he doth leap from Bashan.
論及丹說：「丹好似由巴商跳出的幼獅。」
23 And of Naphtali he said: — O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, West and south possess thou.
論及納斐塔里說：「納斐塔里，飽受恩愛，充滿上主的祝福，海和南部將是他的產業。」
24 And of Asher he said: — Blessed with sons [is] Asher, Let him be accepted by his brethren, And dipping in oil his foot.
論及阿協爾說：「眾子中最受祝福的是阿協爾；願他獲得兄弟的恩待，在油中洗腳!
25 Iron and brass [are] thy shoes, And as thy days — thy strength.
願你有銅鐵的門閂；願你一生獲享安寧! 」
26 There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens in thy help, And in His excellency the skies.
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 A habitation [is] the eternal God, And beneath [are] arms age-during. And He casteth out from thy presence the enemy, and saith, 'Destroy!'
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 And Israel doth tabernacle [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] unto a land of corn and wine; Also His heavens drop down 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 O thy happiness, O Israel! who is like thee? A people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And He who [is] the sword of thine excellency: And thine enemies are subdued for thee, And thou on their high places dost tread.'
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。
