Gũcookerithia 33
1 Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩrathimo kĩrĩa Musa mũndũ wa Ngai aarathimire andũ a Isiraeli atanakua.
Now this is the blessing which Moses, the man of God, gave to the children of Israel before his death.
2 Akiuga atĩrĩ: “Jehova nĩokire kuuma Sinai, na akĩmathererũkĩra kuuma Seiru; akĩmaarĩra kuuma kĩrĩma gĩa Parani. Ookire na ikundi cia arĩa atheru kuuma gũthini, akiuma iharũrũka-inĩ cia irĩma ciake.
He said, The Lord came from Sinai, dawning on them from Seir; shining out from Mount Paran, coming from Meribath Kadesh: from his right hand went flames of fire: his wrath made waste the peoples.
3 Ti-itherũ wee nĩwe wendete andũ; arĩa othe atheru marĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku. Othe mainamagĩrĩra magũrũ-inĩ maku, makaamũkĩra ũrutani kuuma harĩwe,
All his holy ones are at his hand; they go at his feet; they are lifted up on his wings.
4 watho ũrĩa twaheirwo nĩ Musa, nĩguo igai rĩa ũngano wa Jakubu.
Moses gave us a law, a heritage for the people of Jacob.
5 Nĩwe warĩ mũthamaki wa Jeshuruni, rĩrĩa atongoria a andũ moonganĩte, marĩ hamwe na mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli.
And there was a king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel came together.
6 “Rubeni arotũũra na ndagakue, o na kana andũ ake manyiihe.”
Let life not death be Reuben's, let not the number of his men be small.
7 Na ha ũhoro wa Juda akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Jehova, thikĩrĩria kĩrĩro kĩa Juda; mũrehe kũrĩ andũ ake. Nĩarũagĩrĩra maũndũ make na guoko gwake. Wee-rĩ, tuĩka wa kũmũteithia akĩrũa na thũ ciake.”
And this is the blessing of Judah: he said, Give ear, O Lord, to the voice of Judah and make him one with his people: let your hands take up his cause, and be his help against his attackers.
8 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Lawi oigire atĩrĩ: “Thumimu yaku na Urimu yaku nĩ cia mũndũ ũrĩa ũkenagio nĩwe. Nĩwamũgeririe arĩ kũu Masa; ũkĩmũrũithia kũu maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba.
And of Levi he said, Give your Thummim to Levi and let the Urim be with your loved one, whom you put to the test at Massah, with whom you were angry at the waters of Meribah;
9 Ũhoro wa ithe na nyina oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndirameciiria.’ Ndaigana kũmenya ariũ a ithe, kana akĩrũmbũiya ciana ciake mwene, no nĩamenyereire kiugo gĩaku, na akĩgitĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩaku.
Who said of his father, Who is he? and of his mother, I have not seen her; he kept himself separate from his brothers and had no knowledge of his children: for they have given ear to your word and kept your agreement.
10 Nĩarutaga Jakubu kĩrĩra kĩa watho waku, na akaruta Isiraeli watho waku. Nĩarutagĩra ũbumba mbere yaku, na akarutĩra magongona ma njino marĩ magima kĩgongona-inĩ gĩaku.
They will be the teachers of your decisions to Jacob and of your law to Israel: the burning of perfumes before you will be their right, and the ordering of burned offerings on your altar.
11 Rathima ũmenyi wake wa wĩra, Wee Jehova, na ũkenagĩre wĩra wa moko make. Gũtha njohero cia arĩa mekũmũũkĩrĩra; ringa thũ ciake itigacooke kwarahũka rĩngĩ.”
Let your blessing, O Lord, be on his substance, may the work of his hands be pleasing to you: may those who take up arms against him and all who have hate for him, be wounded through the heart, never to be lifted up again.
12 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Benjamini oigire atĩrĩ: “Reke ũrĩa wendetwo nĩ Jehova ahurũke atarĩ na ũgwati harĩ we, nĩgũkorwo amũgitagĩra mũthenya wothe, nake ũrĩa Jehova endete ahurũkaga gatagatĩ-inĩ ga ciande ciake.”
And of Benjamin he said, Benjamin is the loved one of the Lord, he will be kept safe at all times; he will be covered by the Most High, resting between his arms.
13 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Jusufu oigire atĩrĩ: “Jehova arorathima bũrũri wake na ime rĩega rĩa kuuma igũrũ, na maaĩ ma kũrĩa kũriku marĩa marĩ na thĩ;
And of Joseph he said, Let the blessing of the Lord be on his land; for the good things of heaven on high, and the deep waters flowing under the earth,
14 hamwe na indo iria njega mũno ireehagwo nĩ riũa, na kĩrĩa kĩega mũno kĩngiuma kũrĩ mweri;
And the good things of the fruits of the sun, and the good things of the growth of the moons,
15 aũrathime na iheo iria thuuranĩre cia irĩma-inĩ cia tene, na maciaro ma tũrĩma twa tene na tene;
And the chief things of the oldest mountains, and the good things of the eternal hills,
16 hamwe na iheo iria njega mũno cia thĩ, na indo iria ciyũrĩte kuo, na ũtugi ũrĩa waikarĩte kĩhinga-inĩ kĩrĩa kĩahĩaga. Maũndũ maya mothe maroikara mũtwe-inĩ wa Jusufu, maroikara ũthiũ-inĩ wa mũriũ wa mũthamaki arĩ harĩ ariũ a ithe.
The good things of the earth and all its wealth, the good pleasure of him who was seen in the burning tree: may they come on the head of Joseph, on the head of him who was prince among his brothers.
17 Ũnene-inĩ wake ahaana ta ndegwa ya irigithathi; hĩa ciake igakĩhaana ta cia ndegwa ya gĩthaka-inĩ. Nĩagatheeca ndũrĩrĩ na cio, o na ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ ituri cia thĩ. Ũguo nĩguo kũrĩ makũmi-inĩ ma ngiri ma Efiraimu; ũguo noguo kũrĩ harĩ ngiri na ngiri cia Manase.”
He is a young ox, glory is his; his horns are the horns of the mountain ox, with which all peoples will be wounded, even to the ends of the earth: they are the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh.
18 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Zebuluni oigire atĩrĩ: “Kena, wee Zebuluni, ũkiumagara, nawe Isakaru ũkene ũrĩ hema-inĩ ciaku.
And of Zebulun he said, Be glad, Zebulun, in your going out; and, Issachar, in your tents.
19 Nĩmagatũmanĩra andũ moke irĩma-inĩ marutĩre magongona ma ũthingu kuo; nĩmakaarĩa indo nyingĩ cia iria-inĩ, na marĩe mĩthithũ ĩrĩa mĩhithe mũthanga-inĩ.”
They will send out the word for the people to come to the mountain, taking there the offerings of righteousness: for the store of the seas will be theirs, and the secret wealth of the sand.
20 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Gadi oigire atĩrĩ: “Kũrathimwo nĩ ũrĩa ũkwaramia mĩhaka ya Gadi! Gadi atũũraga kuo ta mũrũũthi, atambuuraga guoko kana mũtwe.
Of Gad he said, A blessing be on him who makes wide the limits of Gad: he takes his rest like a she-lion, taking for himself the arm and the crown of the head.
21 Ethuurĩire bũrũri ũrĩa mwega mũno; akĩigĩrwo gĩcunjĩ kĩa mũtongoria. Rĩrĩa anene a andũ moonganire, nĩ eekire maũndũ ma kĩhooto kĩa Jehova, na matua makoniĩ Isiraeli.”
He kept for himself the first part, for his was the ruler's right: he put in force the righteousness of the Lord, and his decisions for Israel.
22 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Dani oigire atĩrĩ: “Dani nĩ kĩana kĩa mũrũũthi, kĩguthũkĩte kiumĩte Bashani.”
And of Dan he said, Dan is a young lion, springing out from Bashan.
23 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Nafitali oigire atĩrĩ: “Nafitali nĩaingĩhĩirwo nĩ ũtugi wa Jehova, na aiyũrĩtwo nĩ kĩrathimo gĩake; nĩakagaya mwena wa gũthini o nginya iria-inĩ.”
And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, made glad with grace and full of the blessing of the Lord: the sea and its fishes will be his.
24 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Asheri oigire atĩrĩ: “Mũriũ ũrĩa mũrathime gũkĩra arĩa angĩ othe nĩ Asheri; ariũ a ithe maroomwendaga, na arothambagia nyarĩrĩ ciake na maguta.
And of Asher he said, Let Asher have the blessing of children; may he be pleasing to his brothers, and let his foot be wet with oil.
25 Hingĩro cia ihingo ciaku igaakorwo irĩ cia kĩgera na cia gĩcango, naguo hinya waku ũkaaiganana na matukũ maku.
Your shoes will be iron and brass; and as your days, so may your work be.
26 “Gũtirĩ ngai ũhaana ta Mũrungu wa Jeshuruni, o we ũgeragĩra igũrũ oke agũteithie, na agaikarĩra matu onanie ũnene wake.
No other is like the God of Jeshurun, coming on the heavens to your help, and letting his glory be seen in the skies.
27 Ngai ũrĩa ũtũũraga tene na tene nĩwe kĩĩhitho gĩaku, namo moko make matũũraga nginya tene na tene marĩ mũhuro waku. Nĩakarutũrũra thũ yaku yehere mbere yaku, akiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Mĩniine!’
The God of your fathers is your safe resting-place, and under you are his eternal arms: driving out the forces of your haters from before you, he said, Let destruction overtake them.
28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Isiraeli agaatũũra arĩ wiki atarĩ na ũgwati; gĩthima kĩa Jakubu nĩkĩgitĩre o kũu bũrũri wa ngano, na ndibei ya mũhihano, kũrĩa ime rĩa igũrũ rĩtataga.
And Israel is living in peace, the fountain of Jacob by himself, in a land of grain and wine, with dew dropping from the heavens.
29 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩwe Isiraeli! Nũũ ũkĩhaana ta we, rũrĩrĩ rũhonoketio nĩ Jehova? Nĩwe ngo yaku na mũgũteithia, na nowe rũhiũ rwaku rwa njora rũrĩ riiri. Thũ ciaku nĩikaaigua guoya irĩ mbere yaku, nawe nĩũkarangĩrĩria kũndũ gwacio kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru.”
Happy are you, O Israel: who is like you, a people whose saviour is the Lord, whose help is your cover, whose sword is your strength! All those who are against you will put themselves under your rule, and your feet will be planted on their high places.
