Ulangan 33
1 Sebelum meninggal, Musa, utusan Allah, memberkati bangsa Israel dengan kata-kata ini:
And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,
2 "TUHAN datang dari Gunung Sinai; Ia terbit di atas Edom laksana matahari dan dari Gunung Paran Ia menyinari umat-Nya. Ia disertai sepuluh ribu malaikat; api menyala di sebelah kanan-Nya.
and he says: “YHWH has come from Sinai, And has risen from Seir for them; He has shone from Mount Paran, And has come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [came] a fiery law [[or a flaming fire]] for them.
3 Sungguh, TUHAN mengasihi bangsa-Nya Ia melindungi semua orang yang menjadi milik-Nya. Mari kita sujud di depan kaki-Nya dan mentaati perintah-perintah-Nya.
Indeed, He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in Your hand, And they sat down at Your foot, [Each] lifts up Your words.
4 Hukum yang diberi Musa kita taati, milik paling berharga bangsa ini.
Moses has commanded a law for us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob.
5 Waktu Israel berkumpul dengan para pemimpinnya, TUHAN menjadi Raja atas umat-Nya."
And He is King in Yeshurun, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!
6 Tentang suku Ruben, Musa berkata, "Semoga suku Ruben tak pernah binasa, biarpun orangnya sedikit saja."
Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be an [incalculable] number.
7 Tentang suku Yehuda ia berkata: "TUHAN, dengarlah seruan Yehuda; satukanlah mereka kembali dengan bangsanya. Berperanglah bagi mereka, ya TUHAN, tolonglah mereka terhadap lawan."
And this [is] for Judah, and he says: Hear, O YHWH, the voice of Judah, And You bring him in to his people; His hand has striven for him, And You are a help from his adversaries.
8 Tentang suku Lewi ia berkata: "Dengan Urim dan Tumim Kaunyatakan kehendak-Mu, melalui orang Lewi, hamba-Mu yang setia. Engkau telah mencobai mereka di Masa, dan berbantah dengan mereka di mata air Meriba.
And of Levi he said: Your Perfections and your Lights [are] for your pious one, Whom You have tried in Massah, You strive with him at the waters of Meribah;
9 Mereka setia kepada-Mu melebihi segalanya, melebihi orang tua dan sanak saudara. Perintah-perintah-Mu mereka taati, perjanjian-Mu mereka tepati.
Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And he has not discerned his brothers, And he has not known his sons; For they have observed Your saying, And they keep Your covenant.
10 Mereka mengajar umat-Mu mentaati semua perintah-Mu dan mempersembahkan kurban di atas mezbah-Mu.
They teach Your judgments to Jacob, And Your law to Israel; They put incense in Your nose, And whole burnt-offering on Your altar.
11 TUHAN, tolonglah suku ini supaya kuat, semoga Engkau berkenan kepada pekerjaan mereka. Binasakanlah semua musuh mereka sehingga tak dapat bangkit lagi."
Bless, O YHWH, his strength, And accept the work of his hands, Strike the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him—that they do not rise!
12 Tentang suku Benyamin ia berkata: "Inilah suku yang dikasihi TUHAN. Ia melindungi mereka siang dan malam dan berdiam di antara mereka."
Of Benjamin he said: The beloved of YHWH dwells confidently by Him, Covering him over every day; Indeed, he dwells between His shoulders.
13 Tentang keturunan Yusuf ia berkata: "Semoga tanah mereka diberkati TUHAN dengan hujan, dan dengan air dari bawah bumi.
And of Joseph he said: His land [is] blessed [by] YHWH, By a precious thing of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath,
14 Semoga setiap musim limpah dengan buah-buahan buah-buahan terbaik yang masak di pohon.
And by a precious thing—fruits of the sun, And by a precious thing—cast forth by the months,
15 Semoga bukit-bukitnya dari zaman purba penuh dengan hasil tanah yang istimewa.
And by a chief thing—of the ancient mountains, And by a precious thing—of the continuous heights,
16 Semoga tanahnya dilimpahi dengan segala yang paling baik, dan diberkati oleh kebaikan TUHAN yang berbicara dari semak bernyala. Semoga berkat itu turun ke atas keturunan Yusuf, sebab dialah pemimpin di antara saudara-saudaranya.
And by a precious thing—of earth and its fullness, And the good pleasure of Him who is dwelling in the bush; Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him [who is] separate from his brothers.
17 Yusuf mempunyai kekuatan seekor banteng, dan tanduk sapi jantan hutan itulah ribuan Manasye dan puluhan ribu Efraim. Bangsa-bangsa diseruduknya dan didesaknya sampai ke ujung-ujung bumi."
His splendor [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a wild ox; With them he pushes the peoples Altogether to the ends of the earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
18 Tentang suku-suku Zebulon dan Isakhar ia berkata: "Semoga Zebulon makmur karena perjalanan-perjalanannya, dan Isakhar sejahtera di kemah-kemahnya.
And of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your going out, And, O Issachar, in your tents;
19 Mereka mengundang bangsa-bangsa ke gunung mereka dan mempersembahkan kurban yang benar di sana. Mereka memperoleh kekayaan dari laut, dan dari pasir di sepanjang pantai."
They call peoples [to] the mountain, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For they suck up the abundance of the seas, And hidden things hidden in the sand.
20 Tentang suku Gad ia berkata: "Terpujilah Allah yang memperluas wilayah Gad. Gad menanti seperti seekor singa hendak mengoyak lengan atau kulit kepala.
And of Gad he said: Blessed is he who is enlarging Gad, He dwells as a lioness, And has torn the arm—also the crown!
21 Tanah yang paling baik diambil untuk dirinya bagian pimpinan diserahkan kepada mereka. Mereka melakukan segala perintah dan hukum TUHAN waktu para pemimpin Israel berkumpul bersama."
And he provides the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he comes [with] the heads of the people; He has done the righteousness of YHWH, And His judgments with Israel.
22 Tentang suku Dan ia berkata: "Dan seperti seekor singa muda yang melompat keluar dari Basan."
And of Dan he said: Dan [is] a lion’s whelp; He leaps from Bashan.
23 Tentang suku Naftali ia berkata: "Naftali dilimpahi dengan berkat dan kasih TUHAN; wilayahnya dari Danau Galilea sampai ke selatan."
And of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of YHWH, Possess [the] west and [the] south.
24 Tentang suku Asyer ia berkata: "Asyer diberkati melebihi suku-suku lainnya; semoga ia menjadi kesayangan saudara-saudaranya, dan pohon zaitun tumbuh subur di tanahnya.
And of Asher he said: Asher [is] blessed with sons, Let him be accepted by his brothers, And dipping his foot in oil.
25 Semoga kota-kotanya dilindungi dengan pintu-pintu gerbang tembaga dan besi agar hidupnya selalu aman dan tentram."
Iron and bronze [are] your shoes, And as your days—your strength.
26 "Hai Israel! Tak ada ilah seperti Allahmu; Ia melintasi langit dengan jaya dan menerobos awan untuk menolong kamu.
[There is] none like the God of Yeshurun, Riding the heavens to your help, And in His excellence the skies.
27 Allah selamanya menjadi perlindunganmu, lengan-Nya yang kekal menopang kamu. Ia mengusir musuh dari hadapanmu, dan menyuruh kamu membinasakan mereka.
The eternal God [is] a habitation, And beneath [are] continuous arms. And He casts out the enemy from your presence and says, Destroy!
28 Maka keturunan Yakub akan hidup dengan tentram di negeri yang limpah gandum dan air anggurnya, dan diairi dengan embun dari langit.
And Israel dwells [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] to a land of grain and wine; Also His heavens drop down dew.
29 Berbahagialah engkau, hai Israel! Tak ada bangsa yang seperti engkau diselamatkan TUHAN. TUHAN seperti pedang dan perisai bagimu; untuk membela engkau dan memberi kemenangan kepadamu. Musuh-musuhmu akan datang mohon kasihan, dan engkau akan menginjak-injak mereka."
O your blessedness, O Israel! Who is like you? A people saved by YHWH, The shield of your help, And He who [is] the sword of your excellence! And your enemies are subdued for you, And you tread on their high places.”
