Deuteronomy 33
1 And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons 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 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：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 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.
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 A law hath Moses commanded us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob.
摩西將律法傳給我們， 作為雅各會眾的產業。
5 And he is in Jeshurun king, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!
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, And let his men be a number.
願呂便存活，不致死亡； 願他人數不致稀少。
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.
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 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 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.
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 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 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!
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 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.
論便雅憫說： 耶和華所親愛的必同耶和華安然居住； 耶和華終日遮蔽他，也住在他兩肩之中。
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 And by precious things — fruits of the sun, And by precious things — cast forth by the moons,
得太陽所曬熟的美果， 月亮所養成的寶物；
15 And by chief things — of the ancient mountains, And by precious things — of the age-during heights,
得上古之山的至寶， 永世之嶺的寶物；
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.
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 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。
18 And of Zebulun he said: — Rejoice, O Zebulun, in thy going out, And, O Issachar, in thy tents;
論西布倫說： 西布倫哪，你出外可以歡喜。 以薩迦啊，在你帳棚裏可以快樂。
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 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 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 And of Dan he said: — Dan [is] a lion's whelp; he doth leap from Bashan.
論但說： 但為小獅子， 從巴珊跳出來。
23 And of Naphtali he said: — O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, West and south possess thou.
論拿弗他利說： 拿弗他利啊，你足沾恩惠， 滿得耶和華的福， 可以得西方和南方為業。
24 And of Asher he said: — Blessed with sons [is] Asher, Let him be accepted by his brethren, And dipping in oil his foot.
論亞設說： 願亞設享受多子的福樂， 得他弟兄的喜悅， 可以把腳蘸在油中。
25 Iron and brass [are] thy shoes, And as thy days — thy strength.
你的門閂是銅的，鐵的。 你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。
26 There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens in thy help, And in His excellency the skies.
耶書崙哪，沒有能比上帝的。 他為幫助你，乘在天空， 顯其威榮，駕行穹蒼。
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!'
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 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.
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 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。
