Kanawailua 33
1 EIA ka hoomaikai a Mose, ke kanaka o ke Akua, i hoomaikai aku ai i na mamo a Iseraela mamua o kona make ana.
This is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 I aku la, Mai Sinai mai, i hele mai ai o Iehova, A mai Seira mai ia i puka mai ai maluna o lakou. Mai ka mauna o Paraua ia i hoomalamalama mai, Mawaena mai o na umi tausani haipule oia i hele mai ai; Mai kona lima akau aku ke kanawai ahi no lakou.
He said, "YHWH came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon us. He shone forth from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
3 I aloha hoi ia i na kanaka: Ma kou lima kona poe haipule a pau: Ma kou wawae lakou i noho ai; E loaa ia lakou kau mau olelo.
Yes, he loves the people. All his holy ones are in your hand. They sat down at your feet; each receives your words.
4 I kauoha mai o Mose ia kakou i ke kanawai, Oia ka mea i ili mai ai no ka ahakanaka o Iakoba.
Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
5 He alii oia iloko o Iesuruna, I ka wa i hoakoakoa pu ai na luna o kanaka, A i houluulu ai na ohana o ka Iseraela.
He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6 E ola no o Reubena, aole ia e make; Aole hoi e uuku kona poe kanaka.
"Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few."
7 Eia ka Iuda; i aku la ia, E hoolohe, e Iehova, i ka leo o Iuda, A e alakai ia ia i kona poe kanaka; E pono no ia ma kona lima iho, A e kokua mai oe ia ia i kona poe enemi.
This is for Judah. He said, "Hear, YHWH, 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 I aku la ia no Levi, O kou Tumima a me kou Urima no kou mea haipule, Ka mea au i hoao ai ma Masa, Ka mea au i hakaka ai ma ka wai o Meriba;
Of Levi he said, "Give to Levi your Thummim and your Urim to your faithful one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you strove at the waters of Meribah;
9 Ka mea i olelo ai i kona makuakane, a me kona makuwahine, Aole au i ike ia ia; Aole ia i ike i kona mau hoahanau; Aole hoi ia i ike i kana mau keiki; No ka mea, ua malama lakou i kau olelo; Ua malama hoi lakou i kau berita,
who said of his father, and of his mother, 'I have not seen him;' Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, Nor did he know his own children: For they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.
10 E ao aku lakou i kau olelo kupaa i ka Iakoba, A i kou kanawai i ka Iseraela: E kau lakou i ka mea ala imua ou, A me ka mohai pono maluna o kou kuahu.
They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.
11 E hoomaikai oe, e Iehova, i kona waiwai, E oluolu oe i ka hana a kona lima; E hahau oe i na puhaka o ka poe ku e mai ia ia, A me ka poe e inaina ia ia, i ku hou ole mai ai lakou.
YHWH, bless his substance. Accept the work of his hands. Strike the loins of those who rise against him, of those who hate him, that they not rise again."
12 I aku la ia no Beniamina, Ka hiwahiwa na Iehova, e noho maluhia me ia; E hoouhi mai oia ia ia i na la a pau, E noho no hoi ia iwaena o kona poohiwi.
Of Benjamin he said, "The beloved of YHWH shall dwell in safety by him. He covers him all the day long. He dwells between his shoulders."
13 I aku la ia no Iosepa, E hoomaikaiia kona aina e Iehova, No na mea maikai o ka lani, no ka hau, A no na mea e waiho ana malalo i ka honua,
Of Joseph he said, "His land is blessed by YHWH, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
14 No na mea maikai a ka la i hookupu ai, No na mea maikai a na mahina i houlu ai.
with the choices fruits of the sun, and the bounteous yield of the months,
15 No na mea maikai o na mauna kahiko, No na mea maikai o na puu pau ole,
with the finest produce of the ancient mountains, and the abundance of the everlasting hills,
16 No na mea maikai o ka honua, a me kona mea i piha ai, No ka lokomaikai o ka mea i noho ai ma ka laau; E hiki mai ia maluna o ke poo o Iosepa, A maluna hoi o ka piko poo o ka mea i hookaawaleia e kona poe hoahanau.
with the choice 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 separate from his brothers.
17 Me ka hanau mua o kona poe bipi, pela kona nani, O na kiwi o ka bipi hihiu, oia kona mau kiwi; Me ia mea e o aku ia i na kanaka ma kahi hookahi, a i na mokuna o ka honua: Oia na umi tausani o Eperaima, a oia na tausani o Manase.
A firstborn bull, majesty is his. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he shall push all of the peoples, to the farthest parts of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh."
18 Olelo aku la ia no Zebuluna, E olioli oe, e Zebuluna, i kou hele ana iwaho: O oe hoi, e Isakara, ma kou mau halelewa.
Of Zebulun he said, "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
19 E kahea aku lakou i na kanaka o ka mauna; Malaila e kaumaha aku ai i mohai o ka pono: No ka mea, e omo lakou i ka waiwai nui o na moana, A me na waiwai i hunaia ma ke one.
They shall call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they shall draw out the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand."
20 Olelo aku ia no Gada, Pomaikai ka mea e hoomahuahua ana ia Gada; Like me ka liona kona noho ana, A e weluwelu ia ia ka lima a me ke poo.
Of Gad he said, "He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.
21 Wae iho la ia i ke kuleana maikai nona, No ka mea, malaila no ke kuleana o ke alakai i waiho ai; A hele aku la ia me na luna o kanaka, Hana aku la ia i ka pono o Iehova, A i kana olelo kupaa me ka Iseraela.
He provided the first part for himself, for there was the lawgiver's portion reserved. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of YHWH, his ordinances with Israel."
22 Olelo aku la ia no Dana, o Dana, he keiki liona ia, E lele mai ia mai Basana mai.
Of Dan he said, "Dan is a lion's cub that leaps out of Bashan."
23 Olelo aku la ia no Napetali, E hoonuiia oe i ka lokomaikai, E hoopihaia oe i ka pomaikai o Iehova, E hooliloia nou ke komohana, a me ke kukuluhema.
Of Naphtali he said, "Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of the blessing of YHWH, Possess the west and the south."
24 Olelo aku la ia no Asera, E hoopomaikaiia o Asera i na keiki, A e oluolu ia i kona poe hoahanau, A e kupenu iho ia i kona wawae i ka aila.
Of Asher he said, "Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.
25 O ka hao, a me ke keleawe, kou mau kamaa; E like me kou mau la, pela kou malu.
Your bars shall be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
26 Aohe mea like me ke Akua o Iesuruna, E holo ana no ia maluna o ka lani e kokua ia oe, A maluna o ke ao me kona nani nui.
"There is none like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, In his majesty through the skies.
27 O ke Akua mau loa kou puuhonua, A malalo iho na lima mau loa: E hookuke aku ia i na enemi imua ou; A e i mai, E luku aku ia lakou.
The God of old is a dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, 'Destroy.'
28 A e noho maluhia wale no o ka Iseraela: O ka luawai o Iakoba ma ka aina palaoa a me ka waina; A e hoohelelei iho kona lani i ka hau:
Israel dwells in safety; the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
29 Pomaikai oe, e ka Iseraela: Owai la kou mea like, e na kanaka, i hoolaia e Iehova, Oia ka paku nana oe e kokua mai, Oia ka pahikaua o kou nani. E malimali mai kou poe enemi imua ou, A e hele auanei oe maluna o ko lakou wahi kiekie.
You are happy, Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by YHWH, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency. Your enemies shall submit themselves to you. You shall tread on their high places."
