Deteronòm 33
1 Alò, sa se benediksyon yo avèk sila Moïse, nonm a Bondye a, li te beni fis Israël yo avan lanmò li.
This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children 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.
He said, “The LORD came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them. He shone from Mount Paran. 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.
Yes, he loves the people. All his holy ones are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.
4 Moïse te pase nou lòd avèk yon lwa, eritaj pou asanble Jacob la.
Moses commanded 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.
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.”
This is for Judah. He said, “Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah. Bring him in to his people. With his hands he contended for himself. You 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.
About Levi he said, “Your Thummim and your Urim are with your godly one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you contended 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.
He said of his father, and of his mother, ‘I have not seen him.’ He didn’t acknowledge his brothers, nor did he know his own children; for they have observed your word, and keep your 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 your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your 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.
LORD, bless his skills. Accept the work of his hands. Strike through the hips of those who rise up against him, 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.”
About Benjamin he said, “The beloved of the LORD will dwell in safety by him. He covers him all day long. 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,
About Joseph he said, “His land is blessed by the LORD, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
14 pou meyè chwa a solèy la, ak meyè pwodwi lalin nan,
for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,
15 pou pi bèl bagay a mòn ansyen yo, pou pi bèl bagay nan kolin yo kap dire nèt,
for the best things of the ancient mountains, 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.
for the precious things of the earth and its fullness, the good will of him who lived in the bush. Let this come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who was separated 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.”
Majesty belongs to the firstborn of his herd. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he will push all the peoples to the ends of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 De Zabulon, li te di: “Rejwi, Zabulon lè nou soti, ak Issacar nan tant nou yo.
About Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your 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 will call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they will draw out the abundance of the seas, 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.
About Gad he said, “He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm and 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.”
He provided the first part for himself, for the lawgiver’s portion was reserved for him. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of the LORD, His ordinances with Israel.”
22 De Dan, li te di: “Dan se pòtre a yon lyon ki vòltije sòti nan Basan.”
About Dan he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps out of 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.”
About Naphtali he said, “Naphtali, satisfied with favour, full of the LORD’s blessing, Possess 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.
About Asher he said, “Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. 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.
Your bars will be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will 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 no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, 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 your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, 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.
Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, 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.”
You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on their high places.”
