Deuteronomio 33
1 Daytoy ti bendision nga inyebkas ni Moises a tao ti Dios a kas panangbendisionna kadagiti tattao ti Israel sakbay iti ipapatayna.
The following is the blessing that Moses the man of God gave to the Israelites before he died.
2 Kinunana: Naggapu ni Yahweh idiay Sinai ken kasla init a nagsingising manipud iti Seir para kadakuada. Nagraniag isuna manipud idiay Bantay Paran ket immay isuna a kaduana dagiti sangapulo a ribo a nasantoan. Iti makannawan nga imana ket dagiti gilap ti kimat.
He said, The Lord came from Mount Sinai and shone on us from Mount Seir; he blazed out from Mount Paran coming with ten thousand of holy ones, holding flaming fire at his right hand.
3 Pudno nga ay-ayatenna dagiti tattao; adda iti imam dagiti amin a nasantoan a tattaona, ket nagrukobda iti sakaanam; inawat ti tunggal maysa dagiti sasaom.
How much you love the people; you hold all the holy ones in your hand. They sit down at your feet to listen to your words:
4 Siak, a ni Moises, imbilinko kadakayo ti maysa a linteg, maysa a tawid para iti gimong ni Jacob.
the law that Moses delivered to us that belongs to all the Israelites.
5 Ket nagbalin nga ari ni Yahweh idiay Jesurun, idi naguummong dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao, amin dagiti tribu ti Israel.
The Lord became King in Israel when the people's leaders gathered, when the tribes of Israel assembled.
6 Agbiag koma ni Ruben ket saan a matay; nupay bassit ti bilang dagiti tattaona.
To Reuben he said, “May he live and not die, but may he only have a few men.”
7 Daytoy ti bendision para kenni Juda. Kinuna ni Moises: Dumngegka, Yahweh, iti timek ni Juda, ket iyegmo manen isuna kadagiti tattaona. Makirangetka para kenkuana; agbalinka a katulonganna maibusor kadagiti kabusorna.
To Judah he said: “Lord, please hear the cry of Judah and reunite him with his people. Even though he fights for himself, may you help him against his enemies.”
8 Maipanggep kenni Levi, kinuna ni Moises: Ti Tummimmo ken ti Unimmo ket kukua ti nakaay-ayoam, ti sinuotmo idiay Massa, ti kinasusikmo kadagiti danum ti Meriba.
To Levi he said: “Your Thummim were given to Levi and your Urim to those dedicated to God, the ones you tested at Massah and argued with at the waters of Meribah.
9 Ti tao a nangibaga iti maipapan iti ama ken inana, “Saanko ida a nakita.” Wenno saanna a binigbig dagiti kabsatna a lallaki, wenno saanna nga inaywanan dagiti bukodna nga annak. Ta binantayanna ti saom ken sinalimetmetanna ti tulagmo.
Levi said that he didn't pay attention to his father and mother, that he didn't acknowledge his brothers, and that he didn't recognize his children. The Levites did what you said and kept your agreement.
10 Isursurona kenni Jacob dagiti pangngeddengmo, ti Israel a lintegmo. Mangikabilto isuna ti insenso iti sangoanam, ken kadagiti sibubukel a daton a maipuor amin iti altarmo.
They will teach your regulations to Jacob and your law to Israel. They will place incense before you, and sacrifice whole burnt offerings on your altar.
11 Bendisionam, O Yahweh, dagiti sanikuana, ken awatem ti aramid dagiti imana. Derderem dagiti lumo dagiti tumakder a maibusor kenkuana, ken dagiti lumo dagiti tattao a manggura kenkuana, tapno saandanto a tumakder manen.
Lord, please bless what they have, and accept their service for you. Destroy those who attack them; make sure their enemies never rise again.”
12 Maipanggep kenni Benjamin, kinuna ni Moises: Ti inayat ni Yahweh ket agbibiag a natalged iti sibayna; salsakniban isuna ni Yahweh iti agmalmalem, ket agnanaed isuna kadagiti nagbaetan dagiti takyag ni Yahweh.
To Benjamin he said: “May the one the Lord loves be kept safe and secure in the Lord. The Lord always protects him, letting him rest on his shoulders.”
13 Maipanggep kenni Jose, kinuna ni Moises: Bendisionan koma ni Yahweh ti dagana kadagiti napapateg a banbanag iti langit, iti linnaaw, ken kadagiti danum nga adda kadagiti uneg ti daga.
To Joseph he said: “May the Lord bless his land with the best gifts of heaven—with the dew and water from the depths below;
14 Kadagiti napapateg a banbanag iti apit nga inaramid ti init, kadagiti napapateg a banbanag iti panaglabas dagiti bulbulan,
with the best crops ripened by the sun and the best produce of the seasons;
15 kadagiti kasasayaatan a banbanag kadagiti nagkakauna a banbantay, ken kadagiti napapateg a banbanag kadagiti agnanayon a turturod.
with the finest contributions of the ancient mountains and the best materials of the everlasting hills;
16 Kadagiti napapateg a banbanag ti daga ken ti kawadwadna, ken iti nasayaat a pagayatanna nga adda iti bassit ken naraboy a kayo. Palubosam a mapan ti bendision iti ulo ni Jose, ken iti mugingna a prinsipe kadagiti kakabsatna a lallaki.
with the best gifts of the land and everything in it, along with the appreciation of the one who was in the burning bush. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph like a crown for this prince among his brothers.
17 Ti inauna nga anak ti baka, nadayag isuna, ken dagiti sarana ket dagiti sara ti atap a baka. Babaen kadagitoy, iduronnanto dagiti tattao, aminda, iti pungto ti daga. Dagitoy dagiti sangapulo a ribu ni Efraim; dagitoy dagiti rinibu ni Manases.
He is as majestic as a firstborn bull; his horns are like those of a wild ox. He will use them to gore the nations, driving them to the ends of the earth. The horns represent the ten thousands of Ephraim, and the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 Maipanggep kenni Zabulun, kinuna ni Moises: Agrag-oka, Zabulun, iti iruruarmo, ken sika, Issachar, kadagiti toldam.
To Zebulun he said: “Celebrate, Zebulun, in your travels and Issachar, in your tents.
19 Ayabandanto dagiti tattao kadagiti banbantay. Mangisagotdanto sadiay kadagiti daton ti kinalinteg. Ta susopendanto ti kinawadwad dagiti baybay, ken kadagiti darat iti igid ti baybay.
They will summon the peoples to a mountain; will offer the appropriate sacrifices there. They will enjoy the rich produce of the seas and from trading on the seashores.”
20 Maipanggep kenni Gad, kinuna ni Moises: Madaydayaw koma isuna a mangpalpalawa kenni Gad. Agnaedto isuna sadiay a kasla babai a leon, ket rangkayennanto ti takyag wenno ulo.
To Gad he said: “Blessed is he who makes Gad's territory larger! Gad is like a lion lying in wait, ready to rip off an arm or a head.
21 Insabetna ti kasasayaatan a paset para iti bagina, ta sadiay a naisagana ti paset a daga ti mangidadaulo. Immay isuna a kaduana dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao. Impatungpalna ti hustisia ni Yahweh ken ti pangngeddeng iti Israel.
He chose the best land for himself, for he was allocated a ruler's share. He met with the people's leaders; he did what the Lord said was right, following the Lord's regulations for Israel.”
22 Maipanggep kenni Dan, kinuna ni Moises: ni Dan ket anak ti leon a limmagto a rimmuar manipud Bashan.
To Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion that leaps out of Bashan.”
23 Maipanggep kenni Neftali, kinuna ni Moises: napnek ni Neftali iti pabor, ken napnoan iti bendision ni Yahweh, alaem a sanikua ti daga iti laud ken abagatan.
To Naphtali he said: “Naphtali is really favored, full of the Lord's blessing. He shall take over the land to the west and south.”
24 Maipanggep kenni Aser: kinuna ni Moises: Ad-adda koma a mabendisionan ni Aser ngem kadagiti dadduma nga annak a lallaki; makaay-ayo koma isuna kadagiti kakabsatna a lallaki, ket isawsawna koma dagiti sakana iti lana ti Olibo.
To Asher he said: “May Asher be blessed more than all the other sons; may he be favored above his brothers and bathe his feet in olive oil.
25 Maaladan koma ti siudadmo iti landok ken bronse; inggana a sibibiagka, kas kaatiddog dagiti al-aldawmo, kastanto met ti kinatalgedmo.
May the bolts of your gate be strong as iron and bronze, and may you be strong all your life.”
26 Awan iti kas iti Dios, Jesurun—ti nalinteg, nga agluglugan kadagiti langit a mangtulong kadakayo, ken iti dayagna kadagiti ul-ulep.
There is no one like the God of Israel, who rides across the heavens to come to help you; who rides the clouds in majesty.
27 Ti agnanayon a Dios ket kamang dagiti tattaona, ken iti sirokna ket dagiti agnanayon a takyag. Papanawennanto ti kabusor manipud iti sangoananyo, ket kunananto, “Dadaelem!”
The eternal God is your home, and he holds you up with his everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy ahead of you, and gives the order, “Destroy him!”
28 Agnaed koma a sitatalged ti Israel. Natalged ti ubbog ni Jacob iti daga ti trigo ken baro nga arak; pudno, mangitinnag koma ti langit iti linnaaw kenkuana.
As a result Israel lives in peace; Jacob has no trouble in a country of grain and new wine, where the heavens drip with dew.
29 Nagasatka, Israel! Siasino ti kas kenka, a tattao nga insalakan ni Yahweh, ti kalasag ti tulongmo, ken ti kampilan ti dayagmo? Agpigergerto nga umay kenka dagiti kabusormo; ibaddekmonto dagiti nangangato a luglugarda.
How blessed you are, Israel! Is there anyone like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is the shield that protects you, the sword that gives you confidence. Your enemies will tremble before you, and you shall tread them underfoot.
