1 Uku ndiko kuropafadza kwaMozisi munhu waMwari kwaakataura kuvaIsraeri asati afa.
And this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
2 Akati: “Jehovha akabva kuSinai akavabudira samambakwedza achibva kuSeiri; akapenya kubva paGomo reParani. Akauya nezviuru gumi zvavatsvene kubva rutivi rwezasi, kubva kumawere amakomo ake.
And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them. He shined forth from mount Paran, and he came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
3 Zvirokwazvo ndimi makada vanhu; vatsvene vose vari muruoko rwenyu. Patsoka dzenyu vose vanopfugama, uye kubva kwamuri vanogamuchira kurayirwa,
Yea, he loves the people. All his sanctified are in thy hand, and they sat down at thy feet. He shall receive from thy words.
4 murayiro watakapiwa naMozisi, nhaka yeungano yaJakobho.
Moses commanded for us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
5 Akanga ari mambo weJeshuruni vatungamiriri vavanhu pavakanga vakaungana, pamwe chete namarudzi aIsraeri.
And he was king in Jeshurun when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6 “Rubheni ngaararame arege kufa, uye vanhu vake ngavarege kuva vashoma.”
Let Reuben live, and not die, nor let his men be few.
7 Uye izvi ndizvo zvaakataura pamusoro paJudha: “Inzwai, imi Jehovha, kuchema kwaJudha; muuyisei kuvanhu vake. Namaoko ake acharwira mhaka yake. Haiwa, ivai mubatsiri wake pavavengi vake!”
And this is of Judah: And he said, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah, and bring him into his people. With his hands he contended for himself, and thou shall be a help against his adversaries.
8 Pamusoro paRevhi akati, “Tumimi yenyu neUrimi yenyu ndezvomunhu wamunoda. Makamuedza paMasa; makarwa naye pamvura dzeMeribha.
And of Levi he said, Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy holy man, whom thou proved at Massah, with whom thou strove at the waters of Meribah,
9 Akati pamusoro pababa namai vake, ‘Handivakudzi.’ Haana kurangarira hama dzake kana kuziva vana vake, asi akava mutariri weshoko renyu akachengetedza sungano yenyu.
who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him, neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor knew he his own sons, for they have observed thy word, and keep thy covenant.
10 Anodzidzisa mitemo yenyu kuna Jakobho uye nemirayiro kuna Israeri. Achapa zvinonhuhwira pamberi penyu nezvipiriso zvose zvinopiswa paaritari yenyu.
They shall teach Jacob thine ordinances, and Israel thy law. They shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt offering upon thine altar.
11 Ropafadzai kubata kwake kwose, imi Jehovha, mugofadzwa namabasa amaoko ake. Paradzai zviuno zvaavo vanomumukira: rovai vavengi vake kusvikira vasisamukizve.”
Bless, Jehovah, his substance, and accept the work of his hands. Smite through the loins of those who rise up against him, and of those who hate him, that they not rise again.
12 Pamusoro paBhenjamini akati: “Regai mudikanwa waJehovha agare norugare maari, nokuti anomudzivirira zuva rose, uye regai uyo anodikanwa naJehovha agare pakati pamapfudzi ake.”
Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by him. He covers him all the day long, and he dwells between his shoulders.
13 Pamusoro paJosefa akati: “Jehovha ngaaropafadze nyika yake nedova rinokosha rokudenga kumusoro nemvura zhinji dzakadzika dziri pasi;
And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Jehovah be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that couches beneath,
14 nezvakanakisisa zvinouyiswa nezuva uye zvakaisvonaka zvinopiwa nomwedzi;
and for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, and for the precious things of the growth of the moons,
15 nezvipo zvakanakisisa zvokumakomo ekare uye nezvibereko zvemakomo okusingaperi;
and for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
16 nezvipo zvakanakisisa zvenyika nokuzara kwayo uye nenyasha dzake iye anogara mugwenzi rinopfuta. Zvose ngazvigare pamusoro waJosefa, pahuma yomuchinda pakati pehama dzake.
and for the precious things of the earth and the fullness of it, and the good will of him who dwelt in the bush. Let it come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
17 Muumambo hwake anoita semhongora yenzombe; nyanga dzake dzakaita senyanga dzenyati. Nadzo achatunga ndudzi, kunyange vaya vari kumagumo enyika. Ava ndivo zviuru zvaManase.”
The firstling of his herd, majesty is his. And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox. With them he shall push the peoples, all of them, even the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 Pamusoro paZebhuruni akati: “Fara, iwe Zebhuruni, pakubuda kwako, newe Isakari mumatende ako.
And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out, and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 Vachadanira vanhu kumakomo uye ikoko vagopa zvibayiro zvokururama; vachaguta nezvizhinji zvamakungwa, nepfuma yakavigwa mujecha.”
They shall call the peoples to the mountain. There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they shall suck the abundance of the seas, and the hidden treasures of the sand.
20 Pamusoro paGadhi akati: “Ngaaropafadzwe iye anokurisa nyika yaGadhi! Gadhi anogaramo seshumba, achibvambura ruoko kana musoro.
And of Gad he said, Blessed be he who enlarges Gad. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yea, the crown of the head.
21 Akazvisarudzira nyika yakanakisisa; mugove womutungamiri waakachengeterwa iye. Vakuru vavanhu pavakaungana, iye akaita kuda kwaJehovha kwakarurama, uye nokutonga kwake pamusoro paIsraeri.”
And he provided the first part for himself, for there was the lawgiver's portion reserved. And he came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of Jehovah, and his ordinances with Israel.
22 Pamusoro paDhani akati: “Dhani mwana weshumba, anokwakuka achibva muBhashani.”
And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp that leaps forth from Bashan.
23 Pamusoro paNafutari akati: “Nafutari azere nenyasha dzaJehovha uye azere kuropafadza kwake: achatora nhaka nechezasi kugungwa.”
And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of Jehovah, possess thou the west and the south.
24 Pamusoro paAsheri akati: “Akaropafadzwa kupfuura vanakomana vose ndiAsheri: ngaadikanwe nehama dzake, uye ngaashambe tsoka dzake mumafuta.
And of Asher he said, Blessed be Asher with sons. Let him be acceptable to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Zvipfigiso zvemasuo ako zvichava zvesimbi nendarira, uye simba rako richafanana namazuva ako.
Thy bars shall be iron and brass, and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
26 “Hapana akafanana naMwari waJeshuruni, iye anotasva denga kuti akubatsire uye namakore muumambo hwake.
There is none like God, O Jeshurun, who rides upon the heavens for thy help, and in his excellency on the skies.
27 Mwari anogara nokusingaperi ndiye utiziro hwako, uye pasi pake pane maoko anogara nokusingaperi. Achadzinga vavengi vako kubva pamberi pako, achiti, ‘Muparadzei!’
The eternal God is thy dwelling-place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy from before thee, and said, Destroy.
28 Naizvozvo Israeri achagara murugare oga; tsime raJakobho rakachengetedzeka munyika yezviyo newaini itsva, ndiko kunodonhedzerwa dova nedenga.
And Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of grain and new wine. Yea, his heavens drop down dew.
29 Wakaropafadzwa, iwe Israeri! Ndiani akafanana newe, rudzi rwakaponeswa naJehovha? Ndiye nhoo nomubatsiri wako uye nomunondo wako unobwinya. Vavengi vako vachazviisa pasi pako, uye iwe uchatsika-tsika nzvimbo dzavo dzakakwirira.”
Happy are thou, O Israel. Who is like thee, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of thy help, and the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall submit themselves to thee, and thou shall tread upon their high places.
