Deteronòm 33
1 Men benediksyon Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, te bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo anvan li mouri.
And this [is] the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 Li di: -Seyè a soti mòn Sinayi, li leve tankou solèy lòt bò peyi Seyi. L'ap klere depi sou tèt mòn Paran an. Li rive jouk Meriba nan peyi Kadès. Sou bò dwat li yon flanm dife.
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 Seyè a renmen tout pèp sou latè. Men, li pwoteje tout moun k'ap viv apa pou li. Yo bese nan pye l'. Yo resevwa lòd l'ap ba yo.
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 Moyiz ban nou lalwa. Se yon byen li kite pou tout fanmi Jakòb la.
Moses commanded us a law, [even] the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 Seyè a te wa nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la lè tout chèf pèp la te reyini, lè tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la te sanble.
And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people [and] the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Woubenn lan: Se pou Woubenn viv lontan! Fanmi li p'ap janm disparèt, malgre li pa gen anpil moun.
Let Reuben live, and not die; and let [not] his men be few.
7 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Jida a: Seyè, koute vwa moun fanmi Jida yo! Fè yo mete tèt yo ansanm ankò ak rès pèp la. Goumen pou yo, Seyè! Se pou ou ede yo lè y'ap batay ak lènmi l' yo.
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 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Levi a: Seyè! Se ou menm ki pou fè yo konnen volonte ou. Y'ap sèvi ou san lage. Ou te sonde yo bò Masa. Ou te kenbe tèt ak yo bò sous dlo Meriba yo.
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 Yo pa konn papa! Yo pa konn manman! Yo pa konn frè! Yo pa konn pitit! Se lòd ou yo y'ap swiv, se kontra ou la y'ap kenbe fèm.
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 Y'a moutre pitit Jakòb yo regleman ou yo. Y'a moutre pitit Izrayèl yo lalwa ou la. Y'a boule lansan devan ou, y'a ofri sou lòtèl bèt yo touye pou boule nèt pou ou.
They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
11 Seyè, ba yo anpil kouraj! Se pou yo fè ou plezi nan tou sa y'ap fè! Kase ren moun ki pa vle wè yo. Se pou lènmi l' yo pa ka leve tèt ankò.
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 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Benjamen an: Se moun Seyè a renmen anpil. Y'a viv ak kè poze bò kote l'. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la va toujou pwoteje yo, l'a moute kay li nan mitan yo.
[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 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Jozèf la: Se pou Seyè a beni peyi ki pou yo a. L'a voye bonkou lapli sot nan syèl la, l'a fè sous dlo pete toupatou.
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 L'a fè pyebwa ki donnen chak lanne bay bon rekòt. L'a fè pyebwa ki donnen chak sezon bay bon fwi.
And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 L'a fè vye mòn yo bay bèl rekòt. L'a fè vye tè mòn yo bay pi bon manje ki genyen.
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16 L'a fè tè yo a bay tout kalite bon rekòt. Bondye ki te pale nan touf raje a va ba yo favè l'. Se pou tout benediksyon sa yo tonbe sou tèt Jozèf, paske nan tout pitit papa li yo, se li menm yo te chwazi.
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 Li byen kanpe tankou premye pitit yon towo bèf. L'ap gen fòs kouraj yon bèf savann. L'ap bat tout pèp ki sou latè ak kout kòn, l'ap kouri dèyè yo jouk nan dènye bout latè. Wi, se sa tout milyon moun Efrayim yo ak tout kantite moun Manase yo pral fè.
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 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Zabilon an ak branch fanmi Isaka a: Nou menm moun Zabilon yo, se pou trafik sou lanmè nou mache byen. Nou menm moun Isaka yo, se pou komès n'ap fè lakay nou mache byen tou.
And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 Yo rele tout moun lòt nasyon yo vin sou mòn lan. Se la y'a fè ofrann Bondye mande yo, paske yo fè tout lajan yo sou lanmè, nan komès yo fè sou lanmè ak nan trafik lakòt y'ap fè toupatou.
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 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Gad la: Lwanj pou Bondye ki bay Gad anpil tè pou l' rete. Gad kouche tankou yon lyon k'ap veye, pou l' dechire yon bra, yon tèt, yon figi.
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 Yo pran pi bon venn tè a pou yo. Se pòsyon tè ki toujou vin pou chèf. Se yo k'ap mache devan pèp la. Yo fè tou sa Seyè a te mande, yo swiv tout regleman Seyè a te bay pèp Izrayèl la.
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 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Dann lan: Dann se yon jenn ti lyon k'ap kouri soti peyi Bazan.
And of Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion’s whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Neftali a: Neftali resevwa kont benediksyon l'. Seyè a fè l' anpil anpil favè. Pòsyon tè yo ap soti bò letan an, l'ap desann jouk nan pwent sid peyi a.
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 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Asè a: Nan tout pitit Jakòb yo, benediksyon pou Asè! Tout frè li yo ap renmen l'. Se pou tè li yo rich ak pye oliv.
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 Se pou pòtay lavil li yo fèt an fè ak an asye, pou li ka toujou viv ak kè poze.
Thy shoes [shall be] iron and brass; and as thy days, [so shall] thy strength [be].
26 Pa gen tankou Bondye moun pèp Izrayèl la. Li kouri sou nwaj yo nan syèl la pou l' vin pote yo sekou avèk fòs ponyèt li.
[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 Bondye ki la pou tout tan an ap pwoteje nou. L'ap pran dèfans nou ak pouvwa li ki p'ap janm fini. L'ap fè lènmi nou yo kouri met deyò devan nou, l'ap ban nou lòd pou nou detwi yo nèt.
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 Pèp Izrayèl la ap viv ak kè poze. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo p'ap viv tankou lòt nasyon yo. Y'ap viv nan yon peyi k'ap bay anpil farin ak diven, nan yon peyi kote ki p'ap janm manke lapli.
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 Ala bon sa bon pou nou, moun pèp Izrayèl! Pa gen tankou nou! Se Seyè a menm ki delivrans nou! Se li ki pwoteksyon nou! Se li ki defans nou! L'ap mache devan nou pou l' fè nou genyen batay la. Lènmi nou yo va vin mande padon nan pye nou. Men nou menm, n'a kraze sa ki fè lògèy yo a anba pye nou.
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.
