Diuteronomi 33
1 Nke a bụ ngọzị Mosis, onye nke Chineke, jiri gọzie ụmụ Izrel, tupu ọ nwụọ.
Now this is the blessing which Moses, the man of God, gave to the children of Israel before his death.
2 Ọ sịrị, “Onyenwe anyị si nʼugwu Saịnaị bịa, ọ waliteere ha site nʼugwu Sia, o nwupụtara site nʼugwu Paran Ya na igwe ndị nsọ so bịa site nʼakụkụ ndịda, site nʼala ala ugwu ahụ.
He said, The Lord came from Sinai, dawning on them from Seir; shining out from Mount Paran, coming from Meribath Kadesh: from his right hand went flames of fire: his wrath made waste the peoples.
3 Nʼezie, ọ bụ gị na-ahụ ndị mmadụ ahụ nʼanya, ndị nsọ ahụ niile dị gị nʼaka. Nʼụkwụ gị ka ha na-ada kpọọ isiala, gị na-akụziri ha ihe,
All his holy ones are at his hand; they go at his feet; they are lifted up on his wings.
4 iwu ahụ Mosis nyere anyị, ihe onwunwe nke ọgbakọ Jekọb.
Moses gave us a law, a heritage for the people of Jacob.
5 Ọ bụ ya bụ eze na Jeshurun, mgbe ndị ndu ndị mmadụ zukọrọ ha na ebo niile nke Izrel.
And there was a king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel came together.
6 “Ka ebo Ruben dịrị ndụ ghara ịnwụ, ma ka ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom ya dịrị ole na ole.”
Let life not death be Reuben's, let not the number of his men be small.
7 Ihe a ka o kwuru banyere Juda, “Nụrụ, Onyenwe anyị, akwa Juda, kpọlata ya nʼebe ndị ya nọ. Aka ya ka o ji alụrụ onwe ya ọgụ ichebe ihe o bu nʼuche. Bụụrụ ya onye inyeaka megide ndị iro ya.”
And this is the blessing of Judah: he said, Give ear, O Lord, to the voice of Judah and make him one with his people: let your hands take up his cause, and be his help against his attackers.
8 Banyere Livayị o kwuru sị, “Urim na Tumim gị dịịrị ohu gị ahụ kwesiri ntụkwasị obi. Ị nwara ya ọnwụnwa na Masa, gị na ya sekwara okwu na mmiri Meriba.
And of Levi he said, Give your Thummim to Levi and let the Urim be with your loved one, whom you put to the test at Massah, with whom you were angry at the waters of Meribah;
9 Onye ahụ lere nne na nna ya anya sị, ‘Ejighị m ha kpọrọ ihe.’ Ọ gụnyeghịkwa ụmụnne ya dịka ndị ọ maara, ọ nabatakwaghị ụmụ nke aka ya. Ma o debere okwu gị, cheziekwa ọgbụgba ndụ gị.
Who said of his father, Who is he? and of his mother, I have not seen her; he kept himself separate from his brothers and had no knowledge of his children: for they have given ear to your word and kept your agreement.
10 Ọ na-akụziri Jekọb ikpe gị, na-akụzikwara Izrel iwu gị. Ọ na-achụkwa aja ụda na-esi isi ụtọ nʼihu gị, na-achụkwa aja nsure ọkụ nʼebe ịchụ aja gị.
They will be the teachers of your decisions to Jacob and of your law to Israel: the burning of perfumes before you will be their right, and the ordering of burned offerings on your altar.
11 Gọzie akụnụba ya Onyenwe anyị, ka ọrụ aka ya bụrụkwa ihe na-atọ gị ụtọ. Tijie ụkwụ ndị niile na-ebili imegide ya, tigbuo ndị iro ya ka ha ghara inwe ike ibili ọzọ.”
Let your blessing, O Lord, be on his substance, may the work of his hands be pleasing to you: may those who take up arms against him and all who have hate for him, be wounded through the heart, never to be lifted up again.
12 Mosis kwuru banyere ebo Benjamin sị, “Ka onye ahụ Onyenwe anyị hụrụ nʼanya zuru ike na-atụghị ụjọ nʼime ya. Nʼihi na ọ ga-ekpuchi ya ogologo ụbọchị niile. Ọ bụkwa nʼetiti ubu ya abụọ ka onye Onyenwe anyị hụrụ nʼanya na-anọ.”
And of Benjamin he said, Benjamin is the loved one of the Lord, he will be kept safe at all times; he will be covered by the Most High, resting between his arms.
13 Banyere Josef o kwuru sị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị gọzie ala ya, ya jiri igirigi dị oke ọnụahịa nke eluigwe dị nʼelu, na ogbu mmiri dị nʼokpuru ala,
And of Joseph he said, Let the blessing of the Lord be on his land; for the good things of heaven on high, and the deep waters flowing under the earth,
14 na ihe ọma niile anyanwụ na-eweta, na ihe ọma niile ọnwa na-ewepụta,
And the good things of the fruits of the sun, and the good things of the growth of the moons,
15 na onyinye ọma niile si nʼugwu ukwu ochie, na ịba ụba ugwu ebighị ebi ndị ahụ,
And the chief things of the oldest mountains, and the good things of the eternal hills,
16 na onyinye ọma niile si nʼala na uju ya niile, na ihuọma onye ahụ na-ebi nʼọhịa nta ahụ na-enwu ọkụ. Ka ihe ndị a niile dịrị nʼisi Josef, nʼiku anya onye bụ nwa eze, nʼetiti ụmụnna ya.
The good things of the earth and all its wealth, the good pleasure of him who was seen in the burning tree: may they come on the head of Joseph, on the head of him who was prince among his brothers.
17 Nʼịma mma, ọ dị ka nwa oke ehi e bụ ụzọ mụọ, mpi ya dị ka mpi ehi ọhịa. Ya ka ọ ga-eji sọda mba niile ọ bụladị mba ndị ahụ dị na nsọtụ ụwa. Otu a ka iri puku kwụrụ puku ndị Ifrem dị otu a ka imerime puku ndị Manase dị.”
He is a young ox, glory is his; his horns are the horns of the mountain ox, with which all peoples will be wounded, even to the ends of the earth: they are the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh.
18 Banyere Zebụlọn, o kwuru sị, “Ṅụrịa, gị Zebụlọn, nʼọpụpụ gị, ma gị Isaka, ṅụrịa nʼebe obibi gị.
And of Zebulun he said, Be glad, Zebulun, in your going out; and, Issachar, in your tents.
19 Ha ga-akpọ ndị mmadụ oku nʼelu ugwu ukwuu, nọ nʼebe ahụ chụọ aja ezi omume, ha ga-eri site nʼịba ụba nke ihe dị nʼosimiri, site nʼakụ nzuzo dị nʼaja.”
They will send out the word for the people to come to the mountain, taking there the offerings of righteousness: for the store of the seas will be theirs, and the secret wealth of the sand.
20 Banyere Gad, o kwuru sị, “Ngọzị na-adịrị onye ahụ na-eme ka ebe obibi Gad saa mbara. Gad na-ebi dịka ọdụm, na-adọkapụ aka maọbụ isi.
Of Gad he said, A blessing be on him who makes wide the limits of Gad: he takes his rest like a she-lion, taking for himself the arm and the crown of the head.
21 Ọ họọrọ ala nke kachasị mma nye onwe ya; oke ruuru onyendu ka e wepụrụ dobere ya. Mgbe ndị ndu ndị mmadụ zukọrọ, o mezuru ezi ihe dị Onyenwe anyị nʼobi, na ikpe ya niile banyere Izrel.”
He kept for himself the first part, for his was the ruler's right: he put in force the righteousness of the Lord, and his decisions for Israel.
22 Banyere Dan, o kwuru sị, “Dan bụ nwa ọdụm, onye na-esi na Bashan mapụta.”
And of Dan he said, Dan is a young lion, springing out from Bashan.
23 Banyere Naftalị, o kwuru sị, “Naftalị bụ onye njupụta nke ihuọma Onyenwe anyị dịrị, o jupụtakwara na ngọzị ya, ọ ga-eketa akụkụ ndịda nke iyi ukwu.”
And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, made glad with grace and full of the blessing of the Lord: the sea and its fishes will be his.
24 Banyere Asha, o kwuru sị, “Onye a gọziri karịchasịa nʼụmụ ndị ikom ka Asha bụ, ka ihe banyere ya tọọ ụmụnna ya ụtọ, ka o jirikwa mmanụ saa ụkwụ ya.
And of Asher he said, Let Asher have the blessing of children; may he be pleasing to his brothers, and let his foot be wet with oil.
25 Ihe mkpọchi nke ọnụ ụzọ ama gị ga-abụ bronz na igwe, dịka ụbọchị ndụ gị niile si dị, otu a ka ịdị ike gị ga-adị.
Your shoes will be iron and brass; and as your days, so may your work be.
26 “O nweghị onye dịka Chineke Jeshurun, onye na-agba eluigwe dịka ịnyịnya ịbịa inyere gị aka, onye na-agba igwe ojii dịka ịnyịnya nʼịdị ukwuu ya.
No other is like the God of Jeshurun, coming on the heavens to your help, and letting his glory be seen in the skies.
27 Chineke ebighị ebi bụ ebe mgbaba gị. Nʼokpuru gị ka aka ebighị ebi ya dị. Ọ ga-esite nʼihu gị chụpụ ndị iro gị, kwuokwa sị, ‘Bibie ha!’
The God of your fathers is your safe resting-place, and under you are his eternal arms: driving out the forces of your haters from before you, he said, Let destruction overtake them.
28 Ya mere Izrel ga-ebi naanị ya nʼudo, isi iyi mmiri Jekọb dị chịm, nʼala ahụ jupụtara na mkpụrụ ubi na mmanya ọhụrụ ebe igirigi nke eluigwe na-ada.
And Israel is living in peace, the fountain of Jacob by himself, in a land of grain and wine, with dew dropping from the heavens.
29 Onye a gọziri agọzi ka ị bụ, gị Izrel, onye dị ka gị ndị Onyenwe anyị zọpụtara? Ọ bụ ọta gị na onye inyeaka gị, na mma agha gị dị ebube. Ndị iro gị ga-eji egwu daa nʼihu gị, ị ga-azọdakwa ebe ha niile dị elu.”
Happy are you, O Israel: who is like you, a people whose saviour is the Lord, whose help is your cover, whose sword is your strength! All those who are against you will put themselves under your rule, and your feet will be planted on their high places.
