Ponovljeni Zakon 33
1 A ovo je blagoslov kojim blagoslovi Mojsije èovjek Božji sinove Izrailjeve pred smrt svoju.
Now, this, is the blessing wherewith Moses, the man of God, blessed the sons of Israel, —before his death.
2 I reèe: Gospod izide sa Sinaja, i pokaza im se sa Sira; zasja s gore Faranske, i doðe s mnoštvom tisuæa svetaca, a u desnici mu zakon ognjeni za njih.
And he said—Yahweh from Sinai, came near, —Yea he dawned, out of Seir, upon them, He shone forth out of Mount Paran, Yea he came out of holy myriads, —Out of his right hand [proceeded] fire to guide them.
3 Doista ljubi narode; svi su sveti njegovi u ruci tvojoj; i oni se slegoše k nogama tvojim da prime rijeèi tvoje.
Yea he loved the tribes, All his holy ones, were in thy hand, —Yea, they, were encamped at thy feet, Each one bare away some of thy words.
4 Mojsije nam dade zakon, našljedstvo zboru Jakovljevu.
A law, did Moses command us, —A possession, for the convocation of Jacob.
5 Jer bijaše car u Izrailju, kad se sabirahu knezovi narodni, plemena Izrailjeva.
Thus became he in, Jeshurun, a king, —When the heads of the people gathered them-selves together, As one man, the tribes of Israel. [Reuben] —
6 Da živi Ruvim i ne umre, a ljudi njegovijeh da bude malo!
Let Reuben live and not die, —Nor his men be easily counted.
7 A za Judu reèe: usliši Gospode glas Judin, i dovedi ga opet k narodu njegovu; ruke njegove neka vojuju za nj, a ti mu pomaži protiv neprijatelja njegovijeh.
And, this, is for Judah, when he said, Hear, O Yahweh, the voice of Judah, That unto his own people, thou wouldst bring him home, —Let, his own hands, suffice him, And, a helper from his adversaries, do thou become.
8 I za Levija reèe: tvoj Tumim i tvoj Urim neka budu u èovjeka tvojega svetoga, kojega si okušao u Masi i s kojim si se prepirao na vodi Merivi;
And of Levi, he said: Let, thy perfections and thy lights, belong unto thy man of lovingkindness, —Whom thou didst put to the proof at Massah, With whom thou didst contend over the waters of Meribah;
9 Koji reèe ocu svojemu i materi svojoj: ne gledam na vas; koji ne poznaje braæe svoje i za sinove svoje ne zna; jer drže rijeèi tvoje, i zavjet tvoj èuvaju.
Who saith of his father and of his mother, I behold them not, And, his own brethren, regardeth he not, And, his own sons, observeth he not, —Because they watch thy speech, That, thy covenant, they may preserve;
10 Oni uèe uredbama tvojim Jakova i zakonu tvojemu Izrailja, i meæu kad pod nozdrve tvoje i žrtvu što se sažiže na oltar tvoj.
May teach thy regulations unto Jacob, And thy law unto Israel, —May put incense in thy nostrils, And a whole-offering upon thine altar.
11 Blagoslovi, Gospode, vojsku njegovu, i neka ti milo bude djelo ruku njegovijeh; polomi bedre onima koji ustaju na nj i koji mrze na nj, da ne ustanu.
Bless, O Yahweh his substance, And with the work of his hands, wilt thou be well pleased, —Crush thou the loins of them who rise up against him, And of them who hate him, that they rise not again.
12 Za Venijamina reèe: mili Gospodu nastavaæe bez straha s njim; zaklanjaæe ga svaki dan, i meðu pleæima njegovijem nastavaæe.

13 I za Josifa reèe: blagoslovena je zemlja njegova od Gospoda blagom s neba, rosom, i iz dubine ozdo,
And of Joseph, he said, Blessed of Yahweh, be his land, —With the precious things of the heavens with the dew, And with the abyss, couching beneath;
14 I blagom koje dolazi od sunca, i blagom koje dolazi od mjeseca,
And with the precious fruits of the sun, —And with the precious yield of the moons;
15 I blagom starijeh brda i blagom vjeènijeh humova,
And with the chief of the ancient mountains, —And with the precious things of the age-abiding hills;
16 I blagom na zemlji i obiljem njezinijem, i milošæu onoga koji stoji u kupini. Neka to doðe na glavu Josifu i na tjeme odvojenome izmeðu braæe svoje.
And with the precious things of the earth and its fulness, And with the goodwill of One who dwelt in a thorn-bush.—Let it come on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him who was consecrated among his brethren.
17 Krasota je njegova kao u prvenca teleta, i rogovi njegovi kao rogovi u jednoroga; njima æe bosti narode sve do kraja zemlje; to je mnoštvo tisuæa Jefremovijeh i tisuæe Manasijine.
His firstborn ox, be an honour to him. And the horns of a buffalo, be his horns, With them, let him thrust, peoples, All at once, to the ends of the earth, —Yea, [with] these, the myriads of Ephraim, And, [with] those, the thousands of Manasseh.
18 A za Zavulona reèe: veseli se Zavulone izlaskom svojim, i Isahare šatorima svojim.
And, of Zebulun, he said, Rejoice, Zebulun in thy going out, —And [thou], Issachar in thy tents:
19 Narode æe sazvati na goru, ondje æe prinijeti žrtve pravedne; jer æe obilje morsko sisati i sakriveno blago u pijesku.
The peoples, unto the mountain, will they call, There, will they offer the sacrifices of righteousness, —For, the abundance of the seas, will they suck, Hidden treasures of the sand.
20 A za Gada reèe: blagosloven je koji širi Gada; on nastava kao lav, i kida ruku i glavu.
And, of Gad, he said: Blessed, be he that hath made room for Gad, —As a lioness, hath he laid himself down, And hath torn an arm likewise the crown of the head;
21 Izabra sebi prvo, jer ondje dobi dio od onoga koji dade zakon; zato æe iæi s knezovima narodnijem, i izvršivati pravdu Gospodnju i sudove njegove s Izrailjem.
And hath provided a first part for himself, For, there, a commander’s portion hath been hid, —So he cometh with the heads of the people, The righteousness of Yahweh, he executeth, And his regulations, with Israel.

25 Gvožðe i mjed biæe pod obuæom tvojom; i dokle traju dani tvoji trajaæe snaga tvoja.
Iron and bronze, be thy sandals, And, as thy days, be thy strength.
26 Izrailju! niko nije kao Bog, koji ide po nebu tebi u pomoæ, i u velièanstvu svojem na oblacima.
There is none like GOD, O Jeshurun, —Riding upon the heavens to thy help, —And for his own majesty, on the skies;
27 Zaklon je Bog vjeèni i pod mišicom vjeènom; on æe odagnati ispred tebe neprijatelje tvoje, i reæi æe: zatri!
Above, is the God of aforetime, And, beneath, are the Arms of the ages, —So he driveth before thee the foe, And doth say—Destroy!
28 Da bi nastavao Izrailj sam bezbrižno, izvor Jakovljev, u zemlji obilnoj žitom i vinom; i nebo æe njegovo kropiti rosom.
Thus hath Israel settled down securely, Alone, the fountain of Jacob, Within a land both of corn and new wine, —His heaven also droppeth down dew.
29 Blago tebi, Izrailju! ko je kao ti, narod kojega je saèuvao Gospod, štit pomoæi tvoje, i maè slave tvoje? Neprijatelji æe se tvoji poniziti, a ti æeš gaziti visine njihove.
How happy art thou, O Israel! Who is like unto thee, O people victorious in Yahweh? Thy helpful shield, who also is thy majestic sword, —So that thy foes come cringing unto thee, And, thou, upon their heights, dost march along.
