Второзаконие 33
1 И сие благословение, имже благослови Моисей человек Божий сыны Израилевы прежде скончания своего,
This is the blessing, with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
2 и рече: Господь от Синаи прииде, и явися от Сиира нам, и приспе от горы Фарани, и прииде со тмами святых, одесную Его ангели с ним,
And he said: “The Lord went forth from Sinai, and he arose for us from Seir. He appeared from Mount Paran, and thousands of holy ones were with him. The fiery law was in his right hand.
3 и пощаде люди Своя: и вси освященнии под руками Твоими, и сии под Тобою суть.
He loved the people; all the holy ones are in his hand. And those who approach his feet shall receive from his doctrine.
4 И прия от словес Его закон, егоже заповеда нам Моисей, наследие сонму Иаковлю:
Moses instructed us in the law, the inheritance of the multitude of Jacob.
5 и будет в Возлюбленнем князь, собравшымся князем людским купно с племены Израилевыми.
The king shall have great righteousness, at the gathering of the princes of the people with the tribes of Israel.
6 Да живет Рувим, и да не умрет, и Симеон да будет мног числом.
Let Ruben live, and not die, and may he be small in number.”
7 И сие Иуде: услыши, Господи, глас Иудин и в люди его вниди: руце его поборют по нем, и помощник на враги его да будеши.
This is the blessing of Judah. “Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, and lead him to his people. His hands shall fight for him, and he shall be his helper against his adversaries.”
8 И Левию рече: дадите Левию явленная Его, и истину Его мужу преподобну, егоже искусиша Искушением, укориша его у воды Пререкания:
Likewise, to Levi he said: “Your perfection and your doctrine are for your holy man, whom you have proven by temptation, and whom you have judged at the Waters of Contradiction.
9 глаголяй отцу своему и матери своей: не видех тебе: и братии своея не позна, и сынов своих не уведе: сохрани словеса Твоя и завет Твой соблюде:
He has said to his father and to his mother, ‘I do not know you,’ and to his brothers, ‘I will disregard you.’ And they have not known their own sons. Such as these have kept your word and have observed your covenant:
10 явят оправдания Твоя Иакову и закон Твой Израилю: возложат фимиам во гневе Твоем всегда на олтарь Твой:
your judgments, O Jacob, and your law, O Israel. They shall place incense before your fury and a holocaust upon your altar.
11 благослови, Господи, крепость его и дела руку его приими: порази чресла воставших на него врагов его, и ненавидящии его да не востанут.
O Lord, bless his strength, and receive the works of his hands. Strike the backs of his enemies, and do not let those who hate him rise up.”
12 И Вениамину рече: возлюбленный Господем уповаяй вселится (в Нем), и Бог осеняет его во вся дни, и посреде рамен Его почи.
And to Benjamin he said: “The most beloved of the Lord will live confidently in him. He shall remain all day long, as if in a bridal chamber, and he shall rest amid her arms.”
13 И Иосифови рече: от благословения Господня земля его, от красот небесных и росы, и от бездн источников низу,
Likewise, to Joseph he said: “His land shall be from the blessing of the Lord, from the fruits of heaven, and from the dew, and from the abyss which lies below,
14 и во время плодов солнечных обращений, и от схождений месячных,
from the fruits of the crops under the sun and the moon,
15 и от верха гор начала, и от верха холмов вечных,
from the heights of the ancient mountains, from the fruits of the everlasting hills,
16 и по времени земли исполнения: и приятная Явившемуся в купине, да приидут на главу Иосифу, и на версе прославивыйся в братии.
and from the fruits of the earth with all its plenitude. May the blessing of him who appeared in the bush, settle upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of the Nazarite among his brothers.
17 Первородный юнца доброта его, рози единорога рози его: ими языки избодет вкупе даже до края земли: сия тмы Ефремовы, и сия тысящи Манассиины.
His excellence is like that of a first-born bull. His horns are like the horns of a rhinoceros; he shall brandish these against the Gentiles, even to the ends of the earth. These are the multitudes of Ephraim, and these the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 И Завулону рече: возвеселися, Завулоне, во исходе твоем, и Иссахаре в селениих твоих:
And to Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your departure, and Issachar, in your tabernacles.
19 языки потребят: и призовете тамо, и пожрете тамо жертву правды: яко богатство морское воздоит тя, и купли от язык при мори живущих.
They shall summon the peoples to the mountain. There, they shall immolate the victims of justice, who feed on the flood of the sea, as if on milk, and on the hidden treasures of the sands.”
20 И Гаду рече: благословен разширяяй Гада: яко лев почи, сокрушивый мышцу и князя:
And to Gad he said: “Blessed is Gad in his breadth. He has rested like a lion, and he has seized the arm and the top of the head.
21 и виде начатки своя, яко тамо разделися земля, князей собранных вкупе с началники людскими: правду Господь сотвори и суд Свой со Израилем.
And he has seen his own pre-eminence, which his teacher has stored up as his portion. He was with the princes of the people, and he accomplished the justices of the Lord, and his judgment with Israel.”
22 И Дану рече: Дан, скимен львов, и изскочит от Васана.
Likewise, to Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion. He shall flow plentifully from Bashan.”
23 И Неффалиму рече: Неффалиму насыщение приятных, и да насытится благословением от Господа: море и юг наследит.
And to Naphtali he said: “Naphtali shall enjoy abundance, and he shall be full of the blessings of the Lord. He shall possess the sea and the Meridian.”
24 И Асиру рече: благословен от чад Асир, и будет приятен братии своей: омочит в елей ногу свою:
Likewise, to Asher he said: “Let Asher be blessed with sons. Let him be pleasing to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 железо и медь сапог его будет, и аки дни твоя крепость твоя.
His shoe shall be of iron and of brass. As were the days of your youth, so also shall be your old age.
26 Несть якоже Бог Возлюбленнаго: восходяй на небо помощник твой, и великолепый в тверди:
There is no other god like the God of the most righteous one. He who rides upon the heavens is your helper. His magnificence scatters the clouds.
27 и покрыет тя Божие начало, и под крепостию мышцей вечных: и отженет от лица твоего врага, глаголя: да погибнеши:
His habitation is above, and the everlasting arms are below. He shall cast out the enemy before your face, and he shall say: ‘Be utterly broken!’
28 и вселится Израиль уповая един на земли Иаковли в вине и пшенице: и небо ему облачно росою.
Israel shall live in confidence and alone, as the eye of Jacob in a land of grain and of wine; and the heavens shall be misty with dew.
29 Блажен еси, Израилю: кто подобен тебе, людие спасаемии от Господа? Защитит помощник твой, и мечь хвала твоя: и солжут тебе врази твои, и ты на выю их наступиши.
Blessed are you, O Israel. Who is like you, the people who are saved by the Lord? He is the shield of your assistance and the sword of your glory. Your enemies will refuse to acknowledge you, and so you shall tread upon their necks.”
