And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 Alobaki: « Yawe awutaki na Sinai; wuta na Seiri, abimelaki bango lokola moyi na tongo, angengaki epai na bango wuta na ngomba Parani, ayaki elongo na ebele ya bankoto ya ba-anjelu na Ye mpe asimbaki na loboko na Ye kongenga ya Mobeko.
And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, And rose from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones: At his right hand was a fiery law unto them.
3 Solo, olingaka bato, basantu nyonso basimbami na loboko na Yo. Na makolo na Yo, bango nyonso bagumbamaka. Ezali epai na Yo nde bazwaka mateya.

And he was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people were gathered, All the tribes of Israel together.
6 Tika ete Ribeni awumela na bomoi mpe akufa te, mpe tika ete bato na ye bazala moke te! »
Let Reuben live, and not die; Yet let his men be few.
7 Tala mapomboli oyo alobaki mpo na Yuda: « Oh Yawe, yoka koganga ya Yuda; zongisa ye epai ya bato na ye! Tika ete maboko na ye elongisa banzela na ye, mpe tika ete osunga ye liboso ya banguna na ye! »
And this is [the blessing] of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, And bring him in unto his people: With his hands he contended for himself; And thou shalt be an help against his adversaries.
8 Mpo na Levi, alobaki: « Urimi mpe Tumimi na Yo ezali mpo na moyengebene oyo omekaki ye motema na Masa, mpe oyo owelanaki na ye na mayi ya Meriba,
And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy godly one, Whom thou didst prove at Massah, With whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
9 oyo atalisaki bolingo epai na Yo koleka, bolingo epai ya baboti na ye, bandeko na ye mpe bana na ye moko, mpo na kotosa maloba na Yo mpe kobatela boyokani na Yo.
Who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him; Neither did he acknowledge his brethren, Nor knew he his own children: For they have observed thy word, And keep thy covenant.
10 Ateyaka makebisi na Yo epai ya Jakobi, mpe mibeko na Yo epai ya Isalaele; abonzaka ansa liboso na Yo, mpe mbeka ya kotumba na likolo ya etumbelo na Yo.
They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, And Israel thy law: They shall put incense before thee, And whole burnt offering upon thine altar.
11 Oh Yawe, pambola makasi na ye na mosala, mpe sepela na mosala ya maboko na ye. Buka loketo ya bato oyo bazali kotelemela ye, mpe loketo ya bayini na ye kino bakoka lisusu te kotelema. »
Bless, LORD, his substance, And accept the work of his hands: Smite through the loins of them that rise up against him, And of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
12 Mpo na Benjame, alobaki: « Tika ete molingami ya Yawe azala na kimia pembeni na Ye, pamba te Ye nde abatelaka ye mokolo mobimba; mpe moto oyo Yawe alingaka apemaka na kati-kati ya mapeka na Ye! »

13 Mpo na Jozefi, alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe apambola mokili na ye na nzela ya mamwe ya motuya, oyo ewutaka na likolo, mpe na nzela ya mayi ya mozindo oyo etiolaka na se ya mabele
And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land; For the precious things of heaven, for the dew, And for the deep that coucheth beneath,

And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, And for the precious things of the growth of the moons,
15 na nzela ya bakado ya kitoko ya bangomba ya kala, mpe na nzela ya bambuma oyo eleki kitoko ya bangomba mike oyo ewumelaka mobu na mobu;
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, And for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
16 na nzela ya bambuma oyo eleki kitoko, bambuma oyo etondi kati na mokili! Tika ete Nzambe oyo avandaka kati na nzete moke oyo ezali kopela moto apambola moto ya Jozefi mpe elongi ya moto oyo babulisi kati na bandeko na ye!
And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof, And the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: Let [the blessing] come upon the head of Joseph, And upon the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
17 Na lokumu, azali lokola mwana liboso ya ngombe; maseke na ye ezali lokola ya mpakasa. Na nzela na yango nde ebetaka bikolo, ata bikolo oyo ezali na suka ya mokili. Tala ndenge nini bato ya Efrayimi bazali ebele penza, tala ndenge nini bato ya Manase bazali penza ebele! »
The firstling of his bullock, majesty is his; And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox: With them he shall push the peoples all of them, [even] the ends of the earth: And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh.

20 Mpo na Gadi, alobaki: « Tika ete apambolama, moto oyo akoyeisa mokili ya Gadi monene! Gadi akowumela kuna lokola nkosi oyo ezali kopasola banda na lokolo kino na moto.
And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: He dwelleth as a lioness, And teareth the arm, yea, the crown of the head.
21 Aponaki mabele ya kitoko mpo na ye moko, bapesaki ye eteni oyo ebongi na mokambi. Atambolaki liboso ya bato; mpe asalaki mosala kolanda bosembo ya Yawe mpe bikateli na Ye liboso ya Isalaele. »

Thy bars shall be iron and brass; And as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
26 Moko te akokani na Nzambe ya Yeshuruni, Nzambe oyo atambolaka na likolo lokola mpunda mpo na kosunga yo, mpe na mapata, kati na nkembo na Ye.
There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun, Who rideth upon the heaven for thy help, And in his excellency on the skies.
27 Nzambe ya tango nyonso azali ekimelo na yo, azali tango nyonso Mosungi awa na se. Ezali Ye nde abenganaka banguna na yo liboso na yo mpe apesaka yo mitindo ya koboma bango.
The eternal God is [thy] dwelling place, And underneath are the everlasting arms: And he thrust out the enemy from before thee, And said, Destroy.
28 Boye Isalaele akowumela na kimia, mpe etima ya Jakobi ezali kotiola kati na mokili ya ble mpe ya vino ya sika, epai wapi likolo ezali kokitisa mamwe.
And Israel dwelleth in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of corn and wine; Yea, his heavens drop down dew.
29 Oh Isalaele, ozali solo libota ya esengo! Libota nini ekokani na yo, yo libota oyo Yawe abikisi? Ye azali nde nguba na yo mpe mosungi na yo ya nkembo. Banguna na yo bakokima liboso na yo, mpe okonyata bisika na bango, oyo eleki likolo. »
Happy art thou, O Israel: Who is like unto thee, a people saved by the LORD, The shield of thy help, And that is the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee; And thou shalt tread upon their high places.
