Deuteronômio 33
1 Esta, porém, é a benção com que Moysés, homem de Deus, abençoou os filhos de Israel antes da sua morte
Before God’s prophet Moses died, he [asked God to] bless the Israeli people.
2 Disse pois: O Senhor veiu de Sinai, e lhes subiu de Seir; resplandeceu desde o monte Paran, e veiu com dez milhares de sanctos: á sua direita havia para elles o fogo da lei.
This is what he said: “Yahweh came [and spoke] to us at Sinai [Mountain]; he [came like] [MET] the sun rises in the Edom [region] and like his light shone on us when we were [in the desert] near Paran Mountain [after we left Sinai Mountain]. He came with 10,000 angels, and there was a flaming fire at his right side.
3 Na verdade ama os povos; todos os seus sanctos estão na tua mão; postos serão no meio, entre os teus pés, cada um receberá das tuas palavras.
Yahweh truly loves his people, and protects [MTY] all those who belong to him. So they prostrate themselves in front of him, and they listen to his instructions.
4 Moysés nos deu a lei por herança da congregação de Jacob.
I gave them laws to obey, laws that would be the most precious thing that [the descendants of] Jacob owned.
5 E foi rei em Jeshurun, quando se congregaram em um os Cabeças do povo com as tribus de Israel.
So Yahweh became the king of his Israeli people when all the tribes and their leaders were gathered together.
6 Viva Ruben, e não morra, e que os seus homens sejam numerosos.
[I say this about the tribe of] Reuben: I desire/hope that their tribe will never disappear, but they will never become numerous.
7 E isto é o que disse de Judah; e disse: Ouve, ó Senhor, a voz de Judah, e introduze-o no seu povo: as suas mãos lhe bastem, e tu lhe sejas em ajuda contra os seus inimigos.
“say this about [the tribe of] Judah: Yahweh, listen to them when they call out [for help]; and unite them with the other tribes again. Fight for them, and help them to fight against their enemies.
8 E de Levi disse: Teu Thummim e teu Urim são para o teu amado, que tu provaste em Massah, com quem contendeste ás aguas de Meribah.
I say this about [the tribe of] Levi: Yahweh, give to those who are dedicated to you the sacred stones [that they will use to find out what you want to be done]; You tested them at a spring in the desert, a spring that they named Massah and also named Meribah [to find out if they would (remain loyal to/continue to obey) you].
9 Aquelle que disse a seu pae e a sua mãe: Nunca o vi; e não conheceu a seus irmãos, e não estimou a seus filhos: pois guardaram a tua palavra e observaram o teu concerto.
The tribe of Levi did what you told them to do and obeyed the agreement that you [made with the Israeli people]; those laws were more important to them [HYP] than their siblings and parents and children.
10 Ensinaram os teus juizos a Jacob, e a tua lei a Israel; metteram incenso no teu nariz, e o holocausto sobre o teu altar.
The tribe of Levi will teach the Israeli people [DOU] your rules and regulations, and they are the ones who will burn incense and who will completely burn on the altar the offerings [that the people bring].
11 Abençoa o seu poder, ó Senhor, e a obra das suas mãos te aguarde: fere os lombos dos que se levantam contra elle e o aborrecem, que nunca mais se levantem.
Yahweh, bless their work and (accept/be pleased with) all that they do. Crush/Destroy all their enemies; do not enable their enemies to be able to fight against them again.
12 E de Benjamin disse: O amado do Senhor habitará seguro com elle: todo o dia o cobrirá, e morará entre os seus hombros.
I say this about [the tribe of] Benjamin: They are the tribe that Yahweh loves; he keeps them safe. He protects them continually, and he lives among their hills [MET].
13 E de José disse: Bemdita do Senhor seja a sua terra, com o mais excellente dos céus, como orvalho, e com o abysmo que jaz abaixo.
“say this about [the tribes of] Joseph: I desire/hope that Yahweh will bless their land by giving them rain/dew from the sky and water from deep [in the ground],
14 E com as mais excellentes novidades do sol, e com as mais excellentes producções da lua,
by giving them good fruit [ripened] by the sun and good crops at harvest time.
15 E com o mais excellente dos montes antigos, e com o mais excellente dos outeiros eternos,
I desire/hope that very nice fruit will grow on trees in their ancient mountains/hills [DOU],
16 E com o mais excellente da terra, e com a sua plenidão, e com a benevolencia d'aquelle que habitava na sarça, a benção venha sobre a cabeça de José, e sobre o alto da cabeça do que foi separado de seus irmãos
and that their land will be have many good crops, blessed by [Yahweh], the one who appeared to me in a burning bush. I desire/hope that Yahweh will bless the tribes of Joseph in all those ways, because he was the leaders of his [older] brothers [when they were in Egypt].
17 Elle tem a gloria do primogenito do seu boi, e as suas pontas são pontas de unicornio: com elles escorneará os povos juntamente até ás extremidades da terra: estes pois são os dez milhares de Ephraim, e estes são os milhares de Manasseh.
The descendants of Joseph will be as strong as [SIM] a bull; [with their weapons they will wound their enemies, like] [MET] a wild ox [gores other animals] with its horns. They will force other people-groups, all of them, to be exiled to the most distant places on the earth. That is what [the descendants of the two sons of Joseph] will do, the ten thousands [of the tribe] of Ephraim and the thousands [of the tribe] of Manasseh.
18 E de Zebulon disse: Zebulon, alegra-te nas tuas saidas; e tu, Issacar, nas tuas tendas.
“say this about [the tribes of] Zebulun [and Issachar]: I desire/hope that the people of Zebulun will prosper in their travels [across the seas], and that the people of Issachar will prosper while they stay at home [and take care of their cattle and crops].
19 Elles chamarão os povos ao monte: ali offerecerão offertas de justiça, porque chuparão a abundancia dos mares e os thesouros escondidos da areia.
They will invite people [from the other Israeli tribes] to the mountain [where they worship Yahweh], and they will offer the correct/proper sacrifices to him. They will become rich from [the work that they do on] the seas and from [the things that they make from] (OR, [find in]) the sand [on the beaches].
20 E de Gad disse: Bemdito aquelle que faz dilatar a Gad, habita como a leoa, e despedaça o braço e alto da cabeça.
“say this about [the tribe of] Gad: Praise [Yahweh], the one who made their [territory] large. The people of their tribe [will attack their enemies fiercely] [SIM] like a lion that crouches, waiting to tear off the arm or the scalp [of some animal].
21 E se proveu do primeiro, porquanto ali estava escondida a porção do legislador: pelo que veiu com os chefes do povo, executou a justiça do Senhor e os seus juizos para com Israel.
They chose the best part of the land for themselves; [a large share of the land], a share that should be given to a leader was allotted to them.

24 E de Aser disse: Bemdito seja Aser com seus filhos, agrade a seus irmãos, e banhe em azeite o seu pé.
“say this about [the tribe of] Asher: May Yahweh bless the descendants of Asher more than he will bless the other tribes. May he favor Asher’s descendants most of all. I desire/hope that their land will [be filled with olive trees that will] produce a lot of [IDM] [olives to make olive] oil.
25 O ferro e o metal será o teu calçado; e a tua força será como os teus dias.
Their [towns will be protected by high walls with gates that have] bronze and iron bars; I desire/hope that they will be strong and secure/protected all the time that they are alive.
26 Não ha outro, ó Jeshurun, similhante a Deus! que cavalga sobre os céus para a tua ajuda, e com a sua alteza sobre as mais altas nuvens.
“You people of Israel, there is no god like your God, who rides majestically across the sky to help you.
27 O Deus eterno te seja por habitação, e por baixo sejam os braços eternos: e elle lance o inimigo de diante de ti, e diga: Destroe-o.
God, who lives forever, is the one who (gives you refuge/protects you); [it is as though] he puts his everlasting arms under you [to support you]. He will expel your enemies while you advance; he has told you to destroy all of them.
28 Israel pois habitará só seguro, na terra da fonte de Jacob, na terra de grão e de mosto: e os seus céus gotejarão orvalho.
So, you Israeli people will live safely; you descendants of Jacob will not be disturbed by others; in the land where [you will live], there will be plenty of grain and wine, and there will be plenty of rain.
29 Bemaventurado tu, ó Israel! quem é como tu? um povo salvo pelo Senhor, o escudo do teu soccorro, e a espada da tua alteza: pelo que os teus inimigos te serão sujeitos, e tu pisarás sobre as suas alturas.
You people of Israel, Yahweh (has blessed/is pleased with) you. There is certainly [RHQ] no nation like your nation, whom Yahweh has rescued [from being slaves in Egypt]. [He will be like] [MET] a shield to protect you and like [MET] a sword to enable you to defeat [your enemies]. Your enemies will come to you begging for you [to act mercifully toward them], but you will trample on their backs/necks.”
