Deteronòm 33
1 Alò, sa se benediksyon yo avèk sila Moïse, nonm a Bondye a, li te beni fis Israël yo avan lanmò li.
And this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
2 Li te di: “SENYÈ a te sòti nan Sinai, e te parèt sou yo soti nan Séir. Li te briye soti nan Mòn Paran. Li te sòti nan mitan di-milye yo ki te sen. Nan men dwat Li, te gen yon lalwa byen cho ki te pou yo.
And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them. He shined forth from mount Paran, and he came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
3 Anverite, Li renmen pèp la. Tout sen li yo nan men Ou. Sou pye Ou, yo tout pwostène. Yo te resevwa pawòl Ou yo.
Yea, he loves the people. All his sanctified are in thy hand, and they sat down at thy feet. He shall receive from thy words.
4 Moïse te pase nou lòd avèk yon lwa, eritaj pou asanble Jacob la.
Moses commanded for us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
5 Epi Li te wa an Israël lè tèt a pèp la te rasanble tout tribi a Israël yo ansanm.
And he was king in Jeshurun when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6 Ke Ruben viv e pa mouri; ni ke moun li yo pa manke.”
Let Reuben live, and not die, nor let his men be few.
7 Sa se pou Juda: Li te di, “Tande O Israël vwa Juda, e mennen li vè pèp li. Avèk men li, li te lite pou kont li. Ou va bay li soutyen kont advèsè pa li.”
And this is of Judah: And he said, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah, and bring him into his people. With his hands he contended for himself, and thou shall be a help against his adversaries.
8 A Lévi, li di: Thumim nan avèk Urim nan apatyen a sèvitè fidèl Ou, ou te pase li a leprèv nan Massa, avèk sila ou te goumen nan dlo Meriba yo.
And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy holy man, whom thou proved at Massah, with whom thou strove at the waters of Meribah,
9 Li te di de papa l avèk manman l: “Mwen pa t wè li.” Li pa t rekonèt pwòp frè pa li, ni fis li yo pwiske yo te swiv pawòl Ou e te kenbe akò Ou.
who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him, neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor knew he his own sons, for they have observed thy word, and keep thy covenant.
10 Yo va enstwi òdonans Ou yo a Jacob, e lwa Ou a Israël. Yo va mete lansan devan Ou, ak ofrann brile an gwo sou lotèl Ou.
They shall teach Jacob thine ordinances, and Israel thy law. They shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt offering upon thine altar.
11 O SENYÈ, beni abilite li yo, e beni zèv men li yo. Kase ren a sila ki leve kont li yo, e sila ki rayi li kòmsi pou yo pa leve ankò.
Bless, Jehovah, his substance, and accept the work of his hands. Smite through the loins of those who rise up against him, and of those who hate him, that they not rise again.
12 A Benjamin, li te di: “Ke byeneme SENYÈ a ta rete ansekirite ak Li, paske Li pwoteje li tout lajounen. Sila SENYÈ a renmen an rete antre zepòl Li.”
Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by him. He covers him all the day long, and he dwells between his shoulders.
13 A Joseph, li te di: “Peyi li se beni pa SENYÈ a ak lawouze presye ki soti nan syèl la, e avèk dlo pwofon ki anba,
And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Jehovah be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that couches beneath,
14 pou meyè chwa a solèy la, ak meyè pwodwi lalin nan,
and for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, and for the precious things of the growth of the moons,
15 pou pi bèl bagay a mòn ansyen yo, pou pi bèl bagay nan kolin yo kap dire nèt,
and for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
16 pou pi bèl bagay tè yo ak tout sa ki ladan l, ak favè a Sila ki te demere nan touf bwa brile a. Men kite sa vin parèt sou tèt Joseph la, sou kouwòn a sila ki pi elve pami frè li yo.
and for the precious things of the earth and the fullness of it, and the good will of him who dwelt in the bush. Let it come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
17 Tankou premye ne a bèf li, lonè pou li. Kòn li yo se kòn a bèf mawon. Avèk yo, li va bourade pèp yo, jis a sila a ki nan pwent latè yo. Sila yo se di-mil a Ephraïm yo. Yo se milye yo a Manassé.”
The firstling of his herd, majesty is his. And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox. With them he shall push the peoples, all of them, even the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 De Zabulon, li te di: “Rejwi, Zabulon lè nou soti, ak Issacar nan tant nou yo.
And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out, and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 Yo va rele nasyon yo vini nan mòn la. La, yo va ofri sakrifis ladwati, paske yo va rale abondans lanmè ak trezò ki kache nan sab yo.”
They shall call the peoples to the mountain. There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they shall suck the abundance of the seas, and the hidden treasures of the sand.
20 De Gad, li te di: “Beni se sila ki fè Gad vin pi gwo; li kouche ba tankou yon manman lyon, pou l dechire bra a oswa tèt la.
And of Gad he said, Blessed be he who enlarges Gad. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yea, the crown of the head.
21 Premye pati li fè pou kont li, paske pou li, pòsyon gran chèf lalwa a te rezève. Epi li te vini avèk chèf a pèp yo. Li te egzekite jistis a SENYÈ, òdonans Li yo avèk Israël.”
And he provided the first part for himself, for there was the lawgiver's portion reserved. And he came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of Jehovah, and his ordinances with Israel.
22 De Dan, li te di: “Dan se pòtre a yon lyon ki vòltije sòti nan Basan.”
And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp that leaps forth from Bashan.
23 De Nephtali, li te di: “O Nephtali, satisfè avèk favè, ranpli avèk benediksyon SENYÈ a, Kon eritaj, vin pran pati lwes la, ak sid la.”
And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of Jehovah, possess thou the west and the south.
24 De Aser, li te di: “Pi beni pase fis yo se Aser. Ke li kapab beni pa frè li yo. Ke pye li kapab vin fonse nan lwil.
And of Asher he said, Blessed be Asher with sons. Let him be acceptable to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Très cheve ou yo va tankou fè avèk bwonz. Selon kantite jou ou yo, konsa, ou va gen fòs.
Thy bars shall be iron and brass, and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
26 Nanpwen lòt ki tankou Bondye Israël la, ki monte sou syèl yo pou rive ede nou, e ki travèse syèl yo nan majeste Li.
There is none like God, O Jeshurun, who rides upon the heavens for thy help, and in his excellency on the skies.
27 Bondye etènèl la se kote pou nou kache. Pa anba, se bwa Li ki la pou tout tan. Li te chase lènmi an devan nou; Li te di: ‘Detwi!’
The eternal God is thy dwelling-place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy from before thee, and said, Destroy.
28 Konsa, Israël viv ansekirite, sous Jacob ki mete apa a, nan yon peyi sereyal avèk diven nèf. Wi, syèl Li yo vin degoute lawouze a.
And Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of grain and new wine. Yea, his heavens drop down dew.
29 Beni ou ye, O Israël! Kilès ki sanble avèk ou, yon pèp delivre pa SENYÈ a, ki se pwotèj k ap ba ou sekou a ki se nepe a majeste ou? Konsa, lènmi ou yo va vin kraponnen devan ou, e ou va foule wo plas yo.”
Happy are thou, O Israel. Who is like thee, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of thy help, and the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves to thee, and thou shall tread upon their high places.
