1 Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩrathimo kĩrĩa Musa mũndũ wa Ngai aarathimire andũ a Isiraeli atanakua.
And this [is] the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed 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.
And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto 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 Ti-itherũ wee nĩwe wendete andũ; arĩa othe atheru marĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku. Othe mainamagĩrĩra magũrũ-inĩ maku, makaamũkĩra ũrutani kuuma harĩwe,
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 watho ũrĩa twaheirwo nĩ Musa, nĩguo igai rĩa ũngano wa Jakubu.
Moses commanded us a law, [even] the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 Nĩwe warĩ mũthamaki wa Jeshuruni, rĩrĩa atongoria a andũ moonganĩte, marĩ hamwe na mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli.
And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people [and] the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 “Rubeni arotũũra na ndagakue, o na kana andũ ake manyiihe.”
Let Reuben live, and not die; and let [not] his men be few.
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: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help [to him] from his enemies.
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, [Let] thy Thummim and thy Urim [be] with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, [and with] whom thou didst strive 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 unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
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 shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine 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.”
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 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, 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 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, Blessed of the LORD [be] his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14 hamwe na indo iria njega mũno ireehagwo nĩ riũa, na kĩrĩa kĩega mũno kĩngiuma kũrĩ mweri;
And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 aũrathime na iheo iria thuuranĩre cia irĩma-inĩ cia tene, na maciaro ma tũrĩma twa tene na tene;
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting 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.
And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, 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 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.”
His glory [is like] the firstling of his bullock, 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 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Zebuluni oigire atĩrĩ: “Kena, wee Zebuluni, ũkiumagara, nawe Isakaru ũkene ũrĩ hema-inĩ ciaku.
And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy 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 shall call the people unto 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 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Gadi oigire atĩrĩ: “Kũrathimwo nĩ ũrĩa ũkwaramia mĩhaka ya Gadi! Gadi atũũraga kuo ta mũrũũthi, atambuuraga guoko kana mũtwe.
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 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.”
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 Ũndũ wĩgiĩ Dani oigire atĩrĩ: “Dani nĩ kĩana kĩa mũrũũthi, kĩguthũkĩte kiumĩte Bashani.”
And of Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion’s whelp: he shall leap 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, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
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 [be] blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Hingĩro cia ihingo ciaku igaakorwo irĩ cia kĩgera na cia gĩcango, naguo hinya waku ũkaaiganana na matukũ maku.
Thy shoes [shall be] iron and brass; and as thy days, [so shall] thy strength [be].
26 “Gũtirĩ ngai ũhaana ta Mũrungu wa Jeshuruni, o we ũgeragĩra igũrũ oke agũteithie, na agaikarĩra matu onanie ũnene wake.
[There is] none like unto the God of Jeshurun, [who] rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
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 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 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.
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob [shall be] upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
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 [art] thou, O Israel: who [is] like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who [is] the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
