And this is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir to them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Elɔ̃ eƒe amewo ŋutɔ eƒe ame kɔkɔewo le eƒe asi me wole wò afɔtoƒe tom woxɔ woƒe ɖoɖowo tso gbɔwò.
Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
4 Wò se siwo mede na wo la, esiwo nye Yakob ha la ƒe domenyinu.
Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 “Ruben anɔ agbe tegbee eƒe dzidzimeviwo asɔ gbɔ!”
Let Reuben live, and not die; and let his men be few.
7 Eye Mose gblɔ tso Yuda ŋu be: “O! Yehowa, se Yuda ƒe kokoƒoƒo, na wòawɔ ɖeka kple Israel wɔ aʋa kple eƒe futɔwo nɛ.”
And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from 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.
And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst tempt at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive 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.
Who said to his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor know his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
10 Levitɔwo afia Mose ƒe seawo Israel woasubɔ wò le dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui kple numevɔsamlekpui la dzi.
They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thy altar.
11 O! Yehowa, yra Levitɔwo kpɔ ŋudzedze le woƒe dɔ siwo wowɔna na wò la ŋu. Fiti woƒe futɔwo gbidigbidi na womagafɔ gbeɖe o.”
Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
12 Mose gblɔ tso Benyamin ŋu be, “Yehowa ƒe lɔlɔ̃tɔe wònye ele dedie le egbɔ Yehowa tsɔ ametakpɔkpɔ ƒo xlãe, ɖenɛ tso dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe sia ɖe me.”
And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
13 Mose gblɔ tso Yosef ƒe to la ŋu be, “Yehowa nayra eƒe anyigba kple nunana nyuitɔwo tso dziƒo kple esiwo tso anyigba ƒe tume.
And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14 Yehowa nayrae kple nuku nyuitɔwo tso esiwo ɣe nana wotsina la dome wòana nuwoe fũu ɣleti sia ɣleti
And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 nuku siwo wɔna nyuie le towo dzi kple esiwo wɔna nyuie le togbɛwo dzi,
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16 Yehowa nayrae kple nunana nyuitɔwo kple anyigbadzinu geɖewo, kpakple Mawu, ame si ɖe eɖokui fia le ŋuve ƒe bibi me la ƒe amenuveve. Yayra siawo katã nava Yosef dzi. Ame si nye fiavi le nɔviawo dome.
And for the precious things of the earth and fulness of it, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
17 Ele abe nyitsuvi ene Le ŋusẽ kple ɖekadzedze me. Eto dzo abe to ƒe dzowo ene; Wòawo wòatsɔ tu dukɔwo aƒu anyi le afi sia afi. Esiae nye nye yayra na Efraim ƒe ame akpe nanewo kple Manase tɔ akpe akpewo.”
His glory is like the firstborn bull, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 Mose gblɔ tso Zebulon ŋu be, “O! Zebulon, tso aseye le wò gododo ŋuti, eye Isaka, kpɔ dzidzɔ wò ame si lɔ̃a agbadɔmenɔnɔ.
And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 Woawoe akpe amewo be woaɖu yewoƒe vɔsanuwo kple yewo. Kpɔ ɖa, woaɖu atsiaƒumenu nyuiwo kple nu nyuitɔwo tso anyigba me.”
They shall call the people to the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
20 Mose gblɔ tso Gad ŋu be, “Woayra Gad ƒe kpeɖeŋutɔwo, Gad tsyɔ akɔ anyi abe dzata ene be yeavuvu abɔ kple ta.
And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
21 Wotsɔ anyigba ƒe nyuiƒewo na wo ɖokuiwo; wotsɔ kplɔla ƒe ɖuƒewo na wo. Wowɔ Yehowa ƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo dzi.”
And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
22 Mose gblɔ tso Dan ŋu be, “Dan le abe dzatavi si le kpo tim tso Basan ene.”
And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion’s whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23 Egblɔ tso Naftali ŋu be: “O! Naftali, Yehowa yra wò ŋutɔ. Wò anyigba ɖo anyigbeme tso Galilea ƒu la nu.”
And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
24 Mose gblɔ tso Asar ŋu be: “Woayra Aser wu to bubuawo katã; wokpɔ ŋudzedze le eŋu wu nɔviawo, amiti geɖewo amie na wò.
And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Woatsɔ gayibɔ kple akɔbli atu wò du ƒe agbowoe àkpɔ ŋusẽ le wò ŋkekewo katã me!
Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength 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 none like the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
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 thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
28 Ale Israel nɔa anyi dedie; le anyigba si dzi bli kple wain bɔ ɖo, eye tsi dzana tso dziƒo ɖo.
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of grain and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
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!”
Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thy enemies shall be found liars to thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
