Deuteronômio 33
1 E esta é a bênção com a qual abençoou Moisés homem de Deus aos filhos de Israel, antes que morresse.
Before God’s prophet Moses died, he [asked God to] bless the Israeli people.
2 E disse: O SENHOR veio de Sinai, E de Seir lhes iluminou; Resplandeceu do monte de Parã, E veio com dez mil santos: À sua direita a lei de fogo para eles.
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 Ainda amou os povos; Todos seus santos em tua mão: Eles também se chegaram a teus pés: Receberam de teus ditos.
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 Lei nos mandou Moisés, Herança à congregação de Jacó.
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 Jesurum, quando se congregaram os chefes do povo com as tribos de Israel.
So Yahweh became the king of his Israeli people when all the tribes and their leaders were gathered together.
6 Viva Rúben, e não morra; sejam seus homens em número.
[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 esta bênção para Judá. Disse assim: Ouve, ó SENHOR, a voz de Judá, e leva-o ao seu povo; suas mãos lhe bastem, e tu sejas ajuda contra 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 a Levi disse: Teu Tumim e teu Urim, com teu bom homem ao qual tentaste em Massá, e lhe fizeste brigar nas águas da briga;
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 O que disse a seu pai e a sua mãe: Nunca os vi: nem conheceu a seus irmãos, nem conheceu a seus filhos; por isso eles guardarão as tuas palavras, e observarão o teu pacto.
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 Eles ensinarão teus juízos a Jacó, e tua lei a Israel; porão o incenso diante de ti, e holocaustos 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, ó SENHOR, o que fizerem, e recebe com agrado a obra de suas mãos; fere os lombos de seus inimigos, e dos que lhe odiarem; para que nunca 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 a Benjamim disse: O amado do SENHOR habitará confiante próximo dele; Ele o cobrirá sempre, E entre seus ombros morará.
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 a José disse: Bendita do SENHOR [seja] a sua terra, com as dádivas dos céus, com o orvalho, e com o abismo 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 com excelentes frutos do sol, e com os excelentes produtos de cada lua,
by giving them good fruit [ripened] by the sun and good crops at harvest time.
15 e com o que há de mais excelente dos montes antigos, e com os excelentes produtos das colinas eternas,
I desire/hope that very nice fruit will grow on trees in their ancient mountains/hills [DOU],
16 e com os excelentes produtos da terra e sua plenitude; e que a benevolência daquele que habitou na sarça venha sobre a cabeça de José, e sobre ao topo da cabeça do que foi separado dos 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 Ele é preeminente como o primogênito de seu touro, e suas pontas, chifres de boi selvagem; com eles chifrará os povos juntamente até os confins da terra; e estes são as dezenas de milhares de Efraim, e estes os milhares de Manassés.
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 a Zebulom disse: Alegra-te, Zebulom, quando saíres; e tu Issacar, em 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 Eles chamarão os povos ao monte; ali oferecerão sacrifícios de justiça; porque sugarão a abundância dos mares, e os tesouros 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 a Gade disse: Bendito o que fez alargar a Gade: Como leão habitará, e arrebatará braço e testa.
“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 ele se proveu da primeira parte, porque ali uma porção do legislador foi-lhe reservada, e veio na dianteira do povo; executará a justiça do SENHOR, e seus juízos 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. When the leaders of the tribes of Israel [gathered together], they decided that the tribe of Gad should have a large share of the land. The tribe of Gad obeyed the commands of Yahweh and the things that he decided that they should do.
22 E a Dã disse: Dã [é] um leão jovem; saltará desde Basã.
“say this about [the tribe] of Dan: The people of the tribe of Dan are like [SIM] a young lion; they leap from [their caves in the] Bashan [region to attack their enemies].
23 E a Naftali disse: Naftali, saciado de benevolência, e cheio da bênção do SENHOR, possui o ocidente e o sul,
“say this about [the tribe of] Naphtali: [The people of the tribe of] Naphtali have been blessed by Yahweh, who has been very kind to them; their land extends far south from Lake [Galilee].
24 E a Aser disse: Bendito [seja] Aser em filhos; agradável será aos seus irmãos, e molhará 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 ferro e bronze [será] o teu calçado, e 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 há como o Deus de Jesurum, montado sobre os céus para tua ajuda, e sobre as nuvens com sua grandeza.
“You people of Israel, there is no god like your God, who rides majestically across the sky to help you.
27 O eterno Deus é o teu refúgio, e abaixo os braços eternos; ele expulsará de diante de ti o inimigo, e dirá: Destrói.
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 E Israel, fonte de Jacó, habitará confiante sozinho na terra do grão e do vinho; também seus céus destilarão 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 Bem-aventurado és tu, ó Israel! Quem é como tu, povo salvo pelo SENHOR, o escudo de teu socorro, e a espada da tua excelência? Por isso os teus inimigos serão subjugados, e tu pisarás sobre as suas costas.
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.”
