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 people 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.
He said: Yahweh came from Sinai and rose from Seir upon them. He shined out from Mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of holy ones. In his right hand were flashes of lightning.
3 Dhugumaan situ saba jaallata; qulqulloonni hundinuu harka kee keessa jiru. Hundi isaanii miilla kee jalatti kufu; qajeelfamas sirraa argatu;
Indeed, he loves the peoples; all his holy ones are in your hand, and they bowed down at your feet; they received your words.
4 Museen seera nuu kenneera; kunis dhaala waldaa Yaaqoob.
Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
5 Yeroo hooggantoonni sabaa gosoota Israaʼel wajjin walitti qabamanitti inni Yishuruun irratti mootii ture.
Then there was a king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people had gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6 “Ruubeen haa jiraatu malee hin duʼin; yookaan baayʼinni namoota isaa hin xinnaatin.”
Let Reuben live and not die, but may his men be few.
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 for Judah. Moses said: Listen, Yahweh, to the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people again. Fight for him; be a help against his enemies.
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.
About Levi, Moses said: Your Thummim and your Urim belong your loyal one, the one whom you tested at Massah, with whom you struggled at the waters of Meribah.
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.
The man who said about his father and mother, “I have not seen them.” Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor did he take account of his own children. For he guarded your word and kept 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.
He teaches Jacob your decrees and Israel your law. He will put incense before you and whole burnt offerings on 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.”
Bless, Yahweh, his possessions, and accept the work of his hands. Shatter the loins of those who rise up against him, and those of the people who hate him, so that they do not rise up again.
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.”
About Benjamin, Moses said: The one loved by Yahweh lives in security beside him; Yahweh shields him all the day long, and he lives between Yahweh's arms.
13 Waaʼee Yoosef akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo biyya isaa haa eebbisu; fixeensa filatamaa samiidhaa buusuudhaan bishaan boolla gad fagoo keessaatiin,
About Joseph, Moses said: May his land be blessed by Yahweh with the precious things of heaven, with the dew, and with the deep that lies beneath.
14 midhaan filatamaa aduun biqilchituun, waan akka malee gaarii kan jiʼi kennuun,
May his land be blessed with the precious things of the harvest of the sun, with the precious things of the produce of the months,
15 kennaawwan filatamoo tulluuwwan duriitiin, badhaadhummaa gaarran bara baraatiin,
with the finest things of the ancient mountains, and with the precious things 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.
May his land be blessed with the precious things of the earth and its abundance, and with the good will of him who was in the bush. Let the blessing come on the head of Joseph, and on the top of the head of him who was prince over 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.”
The firstborn of an ox, majestic is he, and his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will push the peoples, all of them, to the ends of the earth. These are the ten thousands of Ephraim; these are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 Waaʼee Zebuuloonis akkana jedhe: “Zebuuloon ati gad baʼuu keetiin, Yisaakor atis dunkaanota kee keessatti gammadi.
About Zebulun, Moses said: Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and you, Issachar, in your tents.
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 will call the peoples to the mountains. There will they offer sacrifices of righteousness. For they will suck the abundance of the seas, and from the sand on the seashore.
20 Waaʼee Gaad immoo akkana jedhe: “Namni bulchiinsa Gaad balʼisu eebbifamaa dha! Gaad irree fi mataa caccabsaa akka leencaatti achi jiraata.
About Gad, Moses said: Blessed be he who enlarges Gad. He will live there like a lioness, and he will tear off an arm or a 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.”
He provided the best part for himself, for there was the leader's portion of land reserved. He came with the heads of the people. He carried out the justice of Yahweh and his decrees with Israel.
22 Waaʼee Daanis inni akkana jedhe: “Daan akka ilmoolee leencaa kan Baashaan keessaa utaalee baʼuu ti.”
About Dan, Moses said: Dan is a lion cub that leaps out from Bashan.
23 Waaʼee Niftaalemis akkana jedhe: “Niftaalem surraa gonfateera; eebba Waaqayyootiinis guutameera; inni biyya karaa lixaatii fi kibbaatiin jiru ni dhaala.”
About Naphtali, Moses said: Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full of the blessing of Yahweh, take possession of the land to the west and south.
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.
About Asher, Moses said: Blessed be Asher more than the other sons; let him be acceptable to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in olive oil.
25 Danqaraan balbala keetii sibiilaa fi naasii taʼa; jabinni kees akkuma baroota jireenya keetii ni taʼa.
May your city bars be iron and bronze; as long as will be your days, so long will your security be.
26 “Waaqni akka Waaqa Yishuruun, kan si gargaaruuf jedhee samiiwwan irra, surraa isaatiinis duumessoota irra gulufu tokko illee hin jiru.
There is no one like God, Jeshurun—the upright one, who rides through the heavens to your help, and in his majesty on 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.
The eternal God is a refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and he said, “Destroy!”
28 Kanaafuu Israaʼel kophaa isaa nagaadhaan jiraata; lafa fixeensi samii itti coccophutti, biyya midhaanii fi wayinii haaraatti namni burqaa Yaaqoob tuqu hin jiru.
Israel dwelt in safety. Jacob's spring was secure in a land of grain and new wine; indeed, let his heavens drop dew on him.
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.”
Your blessings are many, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, and the sword of your majesty? Your enemies will come trembling to you; you will trample down their high places.
