Tiuteronomi 33

1 Ko te manaaki tenei i manaaki ai a Mohi, te tangata a te Atua, i nga tama a Iharaira i mua ake o tona matenga.

Nowe this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death, and said,

2 Na ka mea ia, I haere mai a Ihowa i Hinai, i rere mai i Heira ki runga ki a ratou; i whiti mai ia i Maunga Parana, a haere mai ana ia i nga mano tini o te hunga tapu: he ture i tona ringa matau mo ratou, e mura ana.

The Lord came from Sinai, and rose vp from Seir vnto them, and appeared clearely from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of Saints, and at his right hand a firie Lawe for them.

3 Ina, e aroha ana ia ki nga iwi; kei roto i tou ringa ana tangata tapu katoa: a noho ana ratou i ou waewae; ka riro i a ratou katoa au korero.

Though hee loue the people, yet all thy Saints are in thine handes: and they are humbled at thy foete, to receiue thy words.

4 Na Mohi te ture i ako ki a tatou, hei taonga tuku iho, tuku iho mo te huihui o Hakopa.

Moses commanded vs a Lawe for an inheritance of the Congregation of Iaakob.

5 Ko ia ano te kingi o Iehuruna i te huihuinga o nga upoko o te iwi, ratou ko nga iwi katoa o Iharaira.

Then he was among the righteous people, as King, when the heades of the people, and the tribes of Israel were assembled.

6 Kia ora a Reupena, kaua hoki e mate, otiia kia tokoouou ona tangata.

Let Reuben liue, and not die, though his men be a small nomber.

7 A tenei ano te manaaki mo Hura: na ka mea ia, Whakarongo, e Ihowa, ki te reo o Hura, mau ano hoki ia e kawe ki tona iwi: i kaha hoki ona ringa ki te tohe mona ake; a mau ia e awhina ki ona hoariri.

And thus he blessed Iudah, and said, Heare, O Lord, the voyce of Iudah, and bring him vnto his people: his hands shalbe sufficient for him, if thou helpe him against his enemies.

8 A mo Riwai i mea ia, Kei tou tangata tapu ou Tumime me ou Urimi, i whakamatautauria ra ia e koe ki Maha, i ngangautia ra e koe ki nga wai o Meripa;

And of Leui he said, Let thy Thummim and thine Vrim be with thine Holy one, whome thou diddest proue in Massah, and didst cause him to striue at the waters of Meribah.

9 I mea nei mo tona papa raua ko tona whaea, Kahore ahau i kite i a ia; kihai ano hoki ia i mohio ki ona tuakana, kihai i matau ki ana ake tamariki; he mea hoki, e pupuri ana ratou i tau kupu, e tiaki ana i tau kawenata.

Who said vnto his father and to his mother, I haue not seene him, neither knewe he his brethren, nor knewe his owne children: for they obserued thy word, and kept thy couenant.

They shall teach Iaakob thy iudgements, and Israel thy Lawe: they shall put incense before thy face, and the burnt offring vpon thine altar.

11 Manaakitia ona rawa, e Ihowa, kia aro mai hoki koe ki te mahi a ona ringa: whatiia nga hope o te hunga e whakatika ana ki a ia, o nga mea hoki e kino ana ki a ia, kei whakatika mai ano ratou.

Blesse, O Lord, his substance, and accept the worke of his handes: smite through ye loynes of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not againe.

15 Ki nga mea nunui hoki o nga maunga onamata, ki nga mea papai o nga maunga tu tonu,

And for the sweetenes of the top of the ancient mountaines, and for the sweetenes of the olde hilles,

16 Ki nga mea papai hoki o te whenua me ona tini mea; ki te manakohanga hoki ana i noho i te rakau: kia tae mai te manaaki ki runga ki te mahunga o Hohepa, ki te tumuaki hoki ona i wehea i ona tuakana.

And for the sweetenesse of the earth, and abundance thereof: and the good will of him that dwelt in the bushe, shall come vpon the head of Ioseph, and vpon the toppe of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
