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

He said: Yahweh came from Sinai and rose from Seir upon them. He shined out from Mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of holy ones. In his right hand were flashes of lightning.

Indeed, he loves the peoples; all his holy ones are in your hand, and they bowed down at your feet; they received your words.

Then there was a king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people had gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.

Let Reuben live and not die, but may his men be few.

This is the blessing for Judah. Moses said: Listen, Yahweh, to the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people again. Fight for him; be a help against his enemies.
8 Mose gblɔ tso Levi ƒe viwo ŋu be: “Tsɔ wò Urim kple Tumim na wò ame kɔkɔe Levi. Èdo Levi kpɔ le Masa; nèwɔ dzre kplii le Meriba tsia gbɔ.
About Levi, Moses said: Your Thummim and your Urim belong your loyal one, the one whom you tested at Massah, with whom you struggled at the waters of Meribah.
9 Ewɔ wò ɖoɖowo dzi, ewu nu vɔ̃ wɔla geɖewo, eya ŋutɔ ƒe viwo, nɔviŋutsuwo, fofowo kple dadawo gɔ̃ hã.
The man who said about his father and mother, “I have not seen them.” Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor did he take account of his own children. For he guarded your word and kept your covenant.

He teaches Jacob your decrees and Israel your law. He will put incense before you and whole burnt offerings on your altar.

The firstborn of an ox, majestic is he, and his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will push the peoples, all of them, to the ends of the earth. These are the ten thousands of Ephraim; these are the thousands of Manasseh.

21 Wotsɔ anyigba ƒe nyuiƒewo na wo ɖokuiwo; wotsɔ kplɔla ƒe ɖuƒewo na wo. Wowɔ Yehowa ƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo dzi.”
He provided the best part for himself, for there was the leader's portion of land reserved. He came with the heads of the people. He carried out the justice of Yahweh and his decrees with Israel.

May your city bars be iron and bronze; as long as will be your days, so long will your security be.
26 Ame aɖeke mede Yehowa, Yesurun ƒe Mawu la nu o. Eɖiɖina tso dziƒo Le fianyenye kple ŋutikɔkɔe me be yeaxɔ na wò.
There is no one like God, Jeshurun—the upright one, who rides through the heavens to your help, and in his majesty on the clouds.
27 Mawu mavɔ lae nye wò sitsoƒe, eƒe abɔ mavɔ la le anyigba te. Enyaa wò futɔwo ɖa le ŋgɔwò eyae gblɔ na mi be, ‘Mitsrɔ̃ wo!’
The eternal God is a refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and he said, “Destroy!”
28 Ale Israel nɔa anyi dedie; le anyigba si dzi bli kple wain bɔ ɖo, eye tsi dzana tso dziƒo ɖo.
Israel dwelt in safety. Jacob's spring was secure in a land of grain and new wine; indeed, let his heavens drop dew on him.
29 Woayra wò, Israel, ŋutɔŋutɔ! Ame bubu kae gakpɔ ɖeɖe tso Yehowa gbɔ? Wò akpoxɔnu kple kpeɖeŋutɔe! Eyae nye wò yi ɖaɖɛ la. Wò futɔwo ade ta agu le ŋgɔwò eye nànya avuzi le wo dzi!”
Your blessings are many, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, and the sword of your majesty? Your enemies will come trembling to you; you will trample down their high places.
