Второзаконие 33
1 И сие благословение, имже благослови Моисей человек Божий сыны Израилевы прежде скончания своего,
The following is the blessing that Moses the man of God gave to the Israelites before he died.
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,
He said, The Lord came from Mount Sinai and shone on us from Mount Seir; he blazed out from Mount Paran coming with ten thousand of holy ones, holding flaming fire at his right hand.
3 и пощаде люди Своя: и вси освященнии под руками Твоими, и сии под Тобою суть.
How much you love the people; you hold all the holy ones in your hand. They sit down at your feet to listen to your words:
4 И прия от словес Его закон, егоже заповеда нам Моисей, наследие сонму Иаковлю:
the law that Moses delivered to us that belongs to all the Israelites.
5 и будет в Возлюбленнем князь, собравшымся князем людским купно с племены Израилевыми.
The Lord became King in Israel when the people's leaders gathered, when the tribes of Israel assembled.
6 Да живет Рувим, и да не умрет, и Симеон да будет мног числом.
To Reuben he said, “May he live and not die, but may he only have a few men.”
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.
To Judah he said: “Lord, please hear the cry of Judah and reunite him with his people. Even though he fights for himself, may you help him against his enemies.”
8 И Левию рече: дадите Левию явленная Его, и истину Его мужу преподобну, егоже искусиша Искушением, укориша его у воды Пререкания:
To Levi he said: “Your Thummim were given to Levi and your Urim to those dedicated to God, the ones you tested at Massah and argued with at the waters of Meribah.
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:
Levi said that he didn't pay attention to his father and mother, that he didn't acknowledge his brothers, and that he didn't recognize his children. The Levites did what you said and kept your agreement.
10 явят оправдания Твоя Иакову и закон Твой Израилю: возложат фимиам во гневе Твоем всегда на олтарь Твой:
They will teach your regulations to Jacob and your law to Israel. They will place incense before you, and sacrifice whole burnt offerings on 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.
Lord, please bless what they have, and accept their service for you. Destroy those who attack them; make sure their enemies never rise again.”
12 И Вениамину рече: возлюбленный Господем уповаяй вселится (в Нем), и Бог осеняет его во вся дни, и посреде рамен Его почи.
To Benjamin he said: “May the one the Lord loves be kept safe and secure in the Lord. The Lord always protects him, letting him rest on his shoulders.”
13 И Иосифови рече: от благословения Господня земля его, от красот небесных и росы, и от бездн источников низу,
To Joseph he said: “May the Lord bless his land with the best gifts of heaven—with the dew and water from the depths below;
14 и во время плодов солнечных обращений, и от схождений месячных,
with the best crops ripened by the sun and the best produce of the seasons;
15 и от верха гор начала, и от верха холмов вечных,
with the finest contributions of the ancient mountains and the best materials 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.
with the best gifts of the land and everything in it, along with the appreciation of the one who was in the burning bush. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph like a crown for this prince 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.
He is as majestic as a firstborn bull; his horns are like those of a wild ox. He will use them to gore the nations, driving them to the ends of the earth. The horns represent the ten thousands of Ephraim, and the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 И Завулону рече: возвеселися, Завулоне, во исходе твоем, и Иссахаре в селениих твоих:
To Zebulun he said: “Celebrate, Zebulun, in your travels and Issachar, in your tents.
19 языки потребят: и призовете тамо, и пожрете тамо жертву правды: яко богатство морское воздоит тя, и купли от язык при мори живущих.
They will summon the peoples to a mountain; will offer the appropriate sacrifices there. They will enjoy the rich produce of the seas and from trading on the seashores.”
20 И Гаду рече: благословен разширяяй Гада: яко лев почи, сокрушивый мышцу и князя:
To Gad he said: “Blessed is he who makes Gad's territory larger! Gad is like a lion lying in wait, ready to rip off an arm or a head.
21 и виде начатки своя, яко тамо разделися земля, князей собранных вкупе с началники людскими: правду Господь сотвори и суд Свой со Израилем.
He chose the best land for himself, for he was allocated a ruler's share. He met with the people's leaders; he did what the Lord said was right, following the Lord's regulations for Israel.”
22 И Дану рече: Дан, скимен львов, и изскочит от Васана.
To Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion that leaps out of Bashan.”
23 И Неффалиму рече: Неффалиму насыщение приятных, и да насытится благословением от Господа: море и юг наследит.
To Naphtali he said: “Naphtali is really favored, full of the Lord's blessing. He shall take over the land to the west and south.”
24 И Асиру рече: благословен от чад Асир, и будет приятен братии своей: омочит в елей ногу свою:
To Asher he said: “May Asher be blessed more than all the other sons; may he be favored above his brothers and bathe his feet in olive oil.
25 железо и медь сапог его будет, и аки дни твоя крепость твоя.
May the bolts of your gate be strong as iron and bronze, and may you be strong all your life.”
26 Несть якоже Бог Возлюбленнаго: восходяй на небо помощник твой, и великолепый в тверди:
There is no one like the God of Israel, who rides across the heavens to come to help you; who rides the clouds in majesty.
27 и покрыет тя Божие начало, и под крепостию мышцей вечных: и отженет от лица твоего врага, глаголя: да погибнеши:
The eternal God is your home, and he holds you up with his everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy ahead of you, and gives the order, “Destroy him!”
28 и вселится Израиль уповая един на земли Иаковли в вине и пшенице: и небо ему облачно росою.
As a result Israel lives in peace; Jacob has no trouble in a country of grain and new wine, where the heavens drip 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.
How blessed you are, Israel! Is there anyone like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is the shield that protects you, the sword that gives you confidence. Your enemies will tremble before you, and you shall tread them underfoot.
