Dhuteronomi 33
1 Uku ndiko kuropafadza kwaMozisi munhu waMwari kwaakataura kuvaIsraeri asati afa.
And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children 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: The LORD came from Sinai, and rose from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, and He came from the myriads holy, at His right hand was a fiery law unto them.
3 Zvirokwazvo ndimi makada vanhu; vatsvene vose vari muruoko rwenyu. Patsoka dzenyu vose vanopfugama, uye kubva kwamuri vanogamuchira kurayirwa,
Yea, He loveth the peoples, all His holy ones — they are in Thy hand; and they sit down at Thy feet, receiving of Thy words.
4 murayiro watakapiwa naMozisi, nhaka yeungano yaJakobho.
Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 Akanga ari mambo weJeshuruni vatungamiriri vavanhu pavakanga vakaungana, pamwe chete namarudzi aIsraeri.
And there was a 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 in that his men become 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 for Judah, and he said: Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him in unto his people; his hands shall contend for him, and Thou shalt 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 be with Thy holy one, whom Thou didst prove at Massah, with whom Thou didst strive 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 brethren, nor knew he his own children; 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, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise up against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not 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 the LORD shall dwell in safety by Him; He covereth him all the day, and He dwelleth 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 the LORD be his land; for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth 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 yield of the moons,
15 nezvipo zvakanakisisa zvokumakomo ekare uye nezvibereko zvemakomo okusingaperi;
And for the tops 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 fulness thereof, and the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush; let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the head of him that is prince among his brethren.
17 Muumambo hwake anoita semhongora yenzombe; nyanga dzake dzakaita senyanga dzenyati. Nadzo achatunga ndudzi, kunyange vaya vari kumagumo enyika. Ava ndivo zviuru zvaManase.”
His firstling bullock, majesty is his; and his horns are the horns of the wild-ox; with them he shall gore 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 peoples unto the mountain; there shall they 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 that enlargeth Gad; he dwelleth as a lioness, and teareth 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 chose a first part for himself, for there a portion of a ruler was reserved; and there came the heads of the people, he executed the righteousness of the LORD, 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 leapeth 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 favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the sea 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 above sons; let him be the favoured of his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Zvipfigiso zvemasuo ako zvichava zvesimbi nendarira, uye simba rako richafanana namazuva ako.
Iron and brass shall be thy bars; 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 unto God, O Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven as 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 a 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 dwelleth in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of corn and 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 art thou, O Israel, who is like unto thee? a people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and that is the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies shall dwindle away before thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
