1 Nke a bụ ngọzị Mosis, onye nke Chineke, jiri gọzie ụmụ Izrel, tupu ọ nwụọ.
And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of Elohim blessed 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.
And he said, YHWH 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 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,
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 iwu ahụ Mosis nyere anyị, ihe onwunwe nke ọgbakọ Jekọb.
Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 Ọ bụ ya bụ eze na Jeshurun, mgbe ndị ndu ndị mmadụ zukọrọ ha na ebo niile nke Izrel.
And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 “Ka ebo Ruben dịrị ndụ ghara ịnwụ, ma ka ọnụọgụgụ ndị ikom ya dịrị ole na ole.”
Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
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: and he said, Hear, YHWH, 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 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, 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 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 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 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 shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine 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.”
Bless, YHWH, 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 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, The beloved of YHWH shall dwell in safety by him; and YHWH shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
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, Blessed of YHWH be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14 na ihe ọma niile anyanwụ na-eweta, na ihe ọma niile ọnwa na-ewepụta,
And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 na onyinye ọma niile si nʼugwu ukwu ochie, na ịba ụba ugwu ebighị ebi ndị ahụ,
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting 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.
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 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.”
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 Manesseh.
18 Banyere Zebụlọn, o kwuru sị, “Ṅụrịa, gị Zebụlọn, nʼọpụpụ gị, ma gị Isaka, ṅụrịa nʼebe obibi gị.
And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy 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 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 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.
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 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.”
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 YHWH, and his judgments with 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 lion's whelp: he shall leap 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, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of YHWH: possess thou the west and the south.
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 be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in 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.
Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength 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.
There is none like unto the El of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
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 Elohim of old 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 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.
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 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 art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by YHWH, 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.
