Второзаконие 33
1 И сие благословение, имже благослови Моисей человек Божий сыны Израилевы прежде скончания своего,
Before God’s prophet Moses died, he [asked God to] bless the Israeli people.
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,
This is what he said: “Yahweh came [and spoke] to us at Sinai [Mountain]; he [came like] [MET] the sun rises in the Edom [region] and like his light shone on us when we were [in the desert] near Paran Mountain [after we left Sinai Mountain]. He came with 10,000 angels, and there was a flaming fire at his right side.
3 и пощаде люди Своя: и вси освященнии под руками Твоими, и сии под Тобою суть.
Yahweh truly loves his people, and protects [MTY] all those who belong to him. So they prostrate themselves in front of him, and they listen to his instructions.
4 И прия от словес Его закон, егоже заповеда нам Моисей, наследие сонму Иаковлю:
I gave them laws to obey, laws that would be the most precious thing that [the descendants of] Jacob owned.
5 и будет в Возлюбленнем князь, собравшымся князем людским купно с племены Израилевыми.
So Yahweh became the king of his Israeli people when all the tribes and their leaders were gathered together.
6 Да живет Рувим, и да не умрет, и Симеон да будет мног числом.
[I say this about the tribe of] Reuben: I desire/hope that their tribe will never disappear, but they will never become numerous.
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.
“say this about [the tribe of] Judah: Yahweh, listen to them when they call out [for help]; and unite them with the other tribes again. Fight for them, and help them to fight against their enemies.
8 И Левию рече: дадите Левию явленная Его, и истину Его мужу преподобну, егоже искусиша Искушением, укориша его у воды Пререкания:
I say this about [the tribe of] Levi: Yahweh, give to those who are dedicated to you the sacred stones [that they will use to find out what you want to be done]; You tested them at a spring in the desert, a spring that they named Massah and also named Meribah [to find out if they would (remain loyal to/continue to obey) you].
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:
The tribe of Levi did what you told them to do and obeyed the agreement that you [made with the Israeli people]; those laws were more important to them [HYP] than their siblings and parents and children.
10 явят оправдания Твоя Иакову и закон Твой Израилю: возложат фимиам во гневе Твоем всегда на олтарь Твой:
The tribe of Levi will teach the Israeli people [DOU] your rules and regulations, and they are the ones who will burn incense and who will completely burn on the altar the offerings [that the people bring].
11 благослови, Господи, крепость его и дела руку его приими: порази чресла воставших на него врагов его, и ненавидящии его да не востанут.
Yahweh, bless their work and (accept/be pleased with) all that they do. Crush/Destroy all their enemies; do not enable their enemies to be able to fight against them again.
12 И Вениамину рече: возлюбленный Господем уповаяй вселится (в Нем), и Бог осеняет его во вся дни, и посреде рамен Его почи.
I say this about [the tribe of] Benjamin: They are the tribe that Yahweh loves; he keeps them safe. He protects them continually, and he lives among their hills [MET].
13 И Иосифови рече: от благословения Господня земля его, от красот небесных и росы, и от бездн источников низу,
“say this about [the tribes of] Joseph: I desire/hope that Yahweh will bless their land by giving them rain/dew from the sky and water from deep [in the ground],
14 и во время плодов солнечных обращений, и от схождений месячных,
by giving them good fruit [ripened] by the sun and good crops at harvest time.
15 и от верха гор начала, и от верха холмов вечных,
I desire/hope that very nice fruit will grow on trees in their ancient mountains/hills [DOU],
16 и по времени земли исполнения: и приятная Явившемуся в купине, да приидут на главу Иосифу, и на версе прославивыйся в братии.
and that their land will be have many good crops, blessed by [Yahweh], the one who appeared to me in a burning bush. I desire/hope that Yahweh will bless the tribes of Joseph in all those ways, because he was the leaders of his [older] brothers [when they were in Egypt].
17 Первородный юнца доброта его, рози единорога рози его: ими языки избодет вкупе даже до края земли: сия тмы Ефремовы, и сия тысящи Манассиины.
The descendants of Joseph will be as strong as [SIM] a bull; [with their weapons they will wound their enemies, like] [MET] a wild ox [gores other animals] with its horns. They will force other people-groups, all of them, to be exiled to the most distant places on the earth. That is what [the descendants of the two sons of Joseph] will do, the ten thousands [of the tribe] of Ephraim and the thousands [of the tribe] of Manasseh.
18 И Завулону рече: возвеселися, Завулоне, во исходе твоем, и Иссахаре в селениих твоих:
“say this about [the tribes of] Zebulun [and Issachar]: I desire/hope that the people of Zebulun will prosper in their travels [across the seas], and that the people of Issachar will prosper while they stay at home [and take care of their cattle and crops].
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 invite people [from the other Israeli tribes] to the mountain [where they worship Yahweh], and they will offer the correct/proper sacrifices to him. They will become rich from [the work that they do on] the seas and from [the things that they make from] (OR, [find in]) the sand [on the beaches].
20 И Гаду рече: благословен разширяяй Гада: яко лев почи, сокрушивый мышцу и князя:
“say this about [the tribe of] Gad: Praise [Yahweh], the one who made their [territory] large. The people of their tribe [will attack their enemies fiercely] [SIM] like a lion that crouches, waiting to tear off the arm or the scalp [of some animal].
21 и виде начатки своя, яко тамо разделися земля, князей собранных вкупе с началники людскими: правду Господь сотвори и суд Свой со Израилем.
They chose the best part of the land for themselves; [a large share of the land], a share that should be given to a leader was allotted to them. When the leaders of the tribes of Israel [gathered together], they decided that the tribe of Gad should have a large share of the land. The tribe of Gad obeyed the commands of Yahweh and the things that he decided that they should do.
22 И Дану рече: Дан, скимен львов, и изскочит от Васана.
“say this about [the tribe] of Dan: The people of the tribe of Dan are like [SIM] a young lion; they leap from [their caves in the] Bashan [region to attack their enemies].
23 И Неффалиму рече: Неффалиму насыщение приятных, и да насытится благословением от Господа: море и юг наследит.
“say this about [the tribe of] Naphtali: [The people of the tribe of] Naphtali have been blessed by Yahweh, who has been very kind to them; their land extends far south from Lake [Galilee].
24 И Асиру рече: благословен от чад Асир, и будет приятен братии своей: омочит в елей ногу свою:
“say this about [the tribe of] Asher: May Yahweh bless the descendants of Asher more than he will bless the other tribes. May he favor Asher’s descendants most of all. I desire/hope that their land will [be filled with olive trees that will] produce a lot of [IDM] [olives to make olive] oil.
25 железо и медь сапог его будет, и аки дни твоя крепость твоя.
Their [towns will be protected by high walls with gates that have] bronze and iron bars; I desire/hope that they will be strong and secure/protected all the time that they are alive.
26 Несть якоже Бог Возлюбленнаго: восходяй на небо помощник твой, и великолепый в тверди:
“You people of Israel, there is no god like your God, who rides majestically across the sky to help you.
27 и покрыет тя Божие начало, и под крепостию мышцей вечных: и отженет от лица твоего врага, глаголя: да погибнеши:
God, who lives forever, is the one who (gives you refuge/protects you); [it is as though] he puts his everlasting arms under you [to support you]. He will expel your enemies while you advance; he has told you to destroy all of them.
28 и вселится Израиль уповая един на земли Иаковли в вине и пшенице: и небо ему облачно росою.
So, you Israeli people will live safely; you descendants of Jacob will not be disturbed by others; in the land where [you will live], there will be plenty of grain and wine, and there will be plenty of rain.
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.
You people of Israel, Yahweh (has blessed/is pleased with) you. There is certainly [RHQ] no nation like your nation, whom Yahweh has rescued [from being slaves in Egypt]. [He will be like] [MET] a shield to protect you and like [MET] a sword to enable you to defeat [your enemies]. Your enemies will come to you begging for you [to act mercifully toward them], but you will trample on their backs/necks.”
