Keessa Deebii 33
1 Eebbi Museen namni Waaqaa sun utuu hin duʼin dura ittiin Israaʼeloota eebbise kana;
This is the blessing, with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
2 innis akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo tulluu Siinaa irraa dhufe; isaan irrattis Seeʼiir irraa akka aduu ganamaatti baʼe; Tulluu Phaaraan irraa isaan eebbise. Inni qulqulloota isaa kumaatama wajjin dhufe; karaa harka isaa mirgaatiin ibidda bobaʼutu baʼe.
And he said: “The Lord went forth from Sinai, and he arose for us from Seir. He appeared from Mount Paran, and thousands of holy ones were with him. The fiery law was in his right hand.
3 Dhugumaan situ saba jaallata; qulqulloonni hundinuu harka kee keessa jiru. Hundi isaanii miilla kee jalatti kufu; qajeelfamas sirraa argatu;
He loved the people; all the holy ones are in his hand. And those who approach his feet shall receive from his doctrine.
4 Museen seera nuu kenneera; kunis dhaala waldaa Yaaqoob.
Moses instructed us in the law, the inheritance of the multitude of Jacob.
5 Yeroo hooggantoonni sabaa gosoota Israaʼel wajjin walitti qabamanitti inni Yishuruun irratti mootii ture.
The king shall have great righteousness, at the gathering of the princes of the people with the tribes of Israel.
6 “Ruubeen haa jiraatu malee hin duʼin; yookaan baayʼinni namoota isaa hin xinnaatin.”
Let Ruben live, and not die, and may he be small in number.”
7 Waaʼee Yihuudaas akkana jedhe: “Yaa Waaqayyo, iyya Yihuudaa dhagaʼi; gara saba isaattis isa fidi. Inni harka ofii isaatiin of haa eegu. Yommuu inni diinota isaatiin wal lolutti gargaaraa isaa taʼi!”
This is the blessing of Judah. “Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, and lead him to his people. His hands shall fight for him, and he shall be his helper against his adversaries.”
8 Inni waaʼee Lewwiis akkana jedhe: “Tumiimii fi Uriimiin kee tajaajilaa kee amanamaadhaaf haa taʼu. Ati lafa Maasaah jedhamutti isa qorte; bishaan Mariibaa irratti isa lolte.
Likewise, to Levi he said: “Your perfection and your doctrine are for your holy man, whom you have proven by temptation, and whom you have judged at the Waters of Contradiction.
9 Waaʼee abbaa fi haadha isaas, ‘Ani isa hin argine’ jedhe. Inni obboloota isaa addaan hin baafanne; ijoollee isaas hin beekne; isaan dubbii keetiif ajajamanii kakuu kee eeganiiruutii.
He has said to his father and to his mother, ‘I do not know you,’ and to his brothers, ‘I will disregard you.’ And they have not known their own sons. Such as these have kept your word and have observed your covenant:
10 Inni ajaja kee Yaaqoobin, seera kee immoo Israaʼelin ni barsiisa. Fuula kee duratti ixaana, iddoo aarsaa keetii irratti illee aarsaa gubamu guutuu ni dhiʼeessa.
your judgments, O Jacob, and your law, O Israel. They shall place incense before your fury and a holocaust upon your altar.
11 Yaa Waaqayyo, ogummaa isaa hunda eebbisiif; waan harki isaa hojjetuttis gammadi. Moʼoo warra isatti kaʼanii cabsi; akka isaan lammata hin kaane godhiitii diinota isaa dhaʼi.”
O Lord, bless his strength, and receive the works of his hands. Strike the backs of his enemies, and do not let those who hate him rise up.”
12 Waaʼee Beniyaam akkana jedhe: “Namni Waaqayyo isa jaallatu eegumsa isaatiin nagaan haa jiraatu; inni guyyaa guutuu isa eegaatii; namni Waaqayyo isa jaallatu gatiittii isaa gidduu boqota.”
And to Benjamin he said: “The most beloved of the Lord will live confidently in him. He shall remain all day long, as if in a bridal chamber, and he shall rest amid her arms.”
13 Waaʼee Yoosef akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo biyya isaa haa eebbisu; fixeensa filatamaa samiidhaa buusuudhaan bishaan boolla gad fagoo keessaatiin,
Likewise, to Joseph he said: “His land shall be from the blessing of the Lord, from the fruits of heaven, and from the dew, and from the abyss which lies below,
14 midhaan filatamaa aduun biqilchituun, waan akka malee gaarii kan jiʼi kennuun,
from the fruits of the crops under the sun and the moon,
15 kennaawwan filatamoo tulluuwwan duriitiin, badhaadhummaa gaarran bara baraatiin,
from the heights of the ancient mountains, from the fruits of the everlasting hills,
16 kennaa filatamaa lafaatii fi guutummaa isaatiin, surraa isa daggala bobaʼu keessa ture sanaatiin haa eebbisu. Isaan kunneen hundi mataa Yoosef kan obboloota isaa gidduutti bulchaa taʼe sanaa irra haa buʼan.
and from the fruits of the earth with all its plenitude. May the blessing of him who appeared in the bush, settle upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of the Nazarite among his brothers.
17 Inni ulfinaan korma hangafa fakkaata; gaanfawwan isaa akka gaanfawwan gafarsaa ti. Isaaniinis hamma daarii lafaatti saboota ni waraana. Isaanis kuma kurnan Efreem, akkasumas kumaatama Minaasee ti.”
His excellence is like that of a first-born bull. His horns are like the horns of a rhinoceros; he shall brandish these against the Gentiles, even to the ends of the earth. These are the multitudes of Ephraim, and these the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 Waaʼee Zebuuloonis akkana jedhe: “Zebuuloon ati gad baʼuu keetiin, Yisaakor atis dunkaanota kee keessatti gammadi.
And to Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your departure, and Issachar, in your tabernacles.
19 Isaan saboota gara tulluutti ni waamu; achittis aarsaa qajeelummaa ni dhiʼeessu; isaan sooroma irra dhangalaʼaa galaana keessaatiin, qabeenya cirracha keessa dhokfameenis ni gammadu.”
They shall summon the peoples to the mountain. There, they shall immolate the victims of justice, who feed on the flood of the sea, as if on milk, and on the hidden treasures of the sands.”
20 Waaʼee Gaad immoo akkana jedhe: “Namni bulchiinsa Gaad balʼisu eebbifamaa dha! Gaad irree fi mataa caccabsaa akka leencaatti achi jiraata.
And to Gad he said: “Blessed is Gad in his breadth. He has rested like a lion, and he has seized the arm and the top of the head.
21 Inni ofii isaatiif lafa gabbataa filate; qoodni hooggantootaa isaaf turfame. Yommuu hooggantoonni sabaa walitti qabamanitti, inni fedhii qajeelumma Waaqayyootii fi murtii Israaʼelitti mure sana fiixaan baase.”
And he has seen his own pre-eminence, which his teacher has stored up as his portion. He was with the princes of the people, and he accomplished the justices of the Lord, and his judgment with Israel.”
22 Waaʼee Daanis inni akkana jedhe: “Daan akka ilmoolee leencaa kan Baashaan keessaa utaalee baʼuu ti.”
Likewise, to Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion. He shall flow plentifully from Bashan.”
23 Waaʼee Niftaalemis akkana jedhe: “Niftaalem surraa gonfateera; eebba Waaqayyootiinis guutameera; inni biyya karaa lixaatii fi kibbaatiin jiru ni dhaala.”
And to Naphtali he said: “Naphtali shall enjoy abundance, and he shall be full of the blessings of the Lord. He shall possess the sea and the Meridian.”
24 Waaʼee Aasheer immoo akkana jedhe: “Aasheer ilmaan hunda caalaa eebbifamaa dha; inni obboloota isaa duratti fudhatama haa argatu; miilla isaas zayitii keessa haa cuuphatu.
Likewise, to Asher he said: “Let Asher be blessed with sons. Let him be pleasing to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Danqaraan balbala keetii sibiilaa fi naasii taʼa; jabinni kees akkuma baroota jireenya keetii ni taʼa.
His shoe shall be of iron and of brass. As were the days of your youth, so also shall be your old age.
26 “Waaqni akka Waaqa Yishuruun, kan si gargaaruuf jedhee samiiwwan irra, surraa isaatiinis duumessoota irra gulufu tokko illee hin jiru.
There is no other god like the God of the most righteous one. He who rides upon the heavens is your helper. His magnificence scatters the clouds.
27 Waaqni bara baraa iddoo jireenyaa keetii ti; irreen bara baraas si jalaan jira. Inni, ‘Isaan balleessi!’ jedhee diinota kee fuula kee duraa ni ariʼa.
His habitation is above, and the everlasting arms are below. He shall cast out the enemy before your face, and he shall say: ‘Be utterly broken!’
28 Kanaafuu Israaʼel kophaa isaa nagaadhaan jiraata; lafa fixeensi samii itti coccophutti, biyya midhaanii fi wayinii haaraatti namni burqaa Yaaqoob tuqu hin jiru.
Israel shall live in confidence and alone, as the eye of Jacob in a land of grain and of wine; and the heavens shall be misty with dew.
29 Yaa Israaʼel, ati eebbifamaa dha! Sabni Waaqayyo isa fayyise, kan akka keetii eenyu? Inni gaachana keetii fi gargaaraa kee ti; goraadee ulfina keetiitis. Diinonni kee sodaadhaan fuula kee duraa duubatti deebiʼu; ati immoo iddoowwan waaqeffannaa isaanii irra ejjetta.”
Blessed are you, O Israel. Who is like you, the people who are saved by the Lord? He is the shield of your assistance and the sword of your glory. Your enemies will refuse to acknowledge you, and so you shall tread upon their necks.”
