Torati 33
1 Hii ndiyo baraka Mose mtu wa Mungu aliyotamka kwa Waisraeli kabla ya kifo chake.
Nowe this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death, and said,
2 Alisema: “Bwana alikuja kutoka Mlima Sinai, akachomoza kama jua juu yao kutoka Mlima Seiri, akaangaza kutoka Mlima Parani. Alikuja pamoja na watakatifu makumi elfu kutoka kusini, kutoka materemko ya mlima wake.
The Lord came from Sinai, and rose vp from Seir vnto them, and appeared clearely from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of Saints, and at his right hand a firie Lawe for them.
3 Hakika ni wewe ambaye huwapenda watu, watakatifu wako wote wamo mkononi mwako. Miguuni pako wote wanasujudu na kutoka kwako wanapokea mafundisho,
Though hee loue the people, yet all thy Saints are in thine handes: and they are humbled at thy foete, to receiue thy words.
4 sheria ile Mose aliyotupa sisi, tulio milki ya kusanyiko la Yakobo.
Moses commanded vs a Lawe for an inheritance of the Congregation of Iaakob.
5 Alikuwa mfalme juu ya Yeshuruni wakati viongozi wa watu walipokusanyika, pamoja na makabila ya Israeli.
Then he was among the righteous people, as King, when the heades of the people, and the tribes of Israel were assembled.
6 “Reubeni na aishi, asife, wala watu wake wasiwe wachache.”
Let Reuben liue, and not die, though his men be a small nomber.
7 Akasema hili kuhusu Yuda: “Ee Bwana, sikia kilio cha Yuda, mlete kwa watu wake. Kwa mikono yake mwenyewe hujitetea. Naam, uwe msaada wake dhidi ya adui zake!”
And thus he blessed Iudah, and said, Heare, O Lord, the voyce of Iudah, and bring him vnto his people: his hands shalbe sufficient for him, if thou helpe him against his enemies.
8 Kuhusu Lawi alisema: “Thumimu yako na Urimu yako ulimpa, mtu yule uliyemfadhili. Ulimjaribu huko Masa na kushindana naye kwenye maji ya Meriba.
And of Leui he said, Let thy Thummim and thine Vrim be with thine Holy one, whome thou diddest proue in Massah, and didst cause him to striue at the waters of Meribah.
9 Alinena hivi kuhusu baba yake na mama yake, ‘Mimi siwahitaji kamwe.’ Akawasahau jamaa zake, asiwatambue hata watoto wake, lakini akaliangalia neno lako na kulilinda Agano lako.
Who said vnto his father and to his mother, I haue not seene him, neither knewe he his brethren, nor knewe his owne children: for they obserued thy word, and kept thy couenant.
10 Humfundisha Yakobo mausia yako na Israeli sheria yako. Hufukiza uvumba mbele zako na sadaka nzima za kuteketezwa juu ya madhabahu yako.
They shall teach Iaakob thy iudgements, and Israel thy Lawe: they shall put incense before thy face, and the burnt offring vpon thine altar.
11 Ee Bwana, bariki ustadi wake wote, nawe upendezwe na kazi ya mikono yake. Vipige viuno vya wale wainukao dhidi yake; wapige adui zake hata wasiinuke tena.”
Blesse, O Lord, his substance, and accept the worke of his handes: smite through ye loynes of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not againe.
12 Kuhusu Benyamini akasema: “Mwache mpenzi wa Bwana apumzike salama kwake, kwa maana humkinga mchana kutwa, na yule Bwana ampendaye hupumzika kati ya mabega yake.”
Of Beniamin he said, The beloued of the Lord shall dwell in safetie by him: the Lord shall couer him all the day long, and dwell betweene his shoulders.
13 Kuhusu Yosefu akasema: “Bwana na aibariki nchi yake kwa umande wa thamani kutoka mbinguni juu, na vilindi vya maji vilivyotulia chini;
And of Ioseph hee sayde, Blessed of the Lord is his land for the sweetenesse of heauen, for the dewe, and for the depth lying beneath,
14 pamoja na vitu vilivyo bora sana viletwavyo na jua, na vitu vizuri sana vinavyoweza kutolewa na mwezi;
And for the sweete increase of the sunne, and for the sweete increase of the moone,
15 pamoja na zawadi bora sana za milima ya zamani na kwa wingi wa baraka za vilima vya milele;
And for the sweetenes of the top of the ancient mountaines, and for the sweetenes of the olde hilles,
16 pamoja na baraka nzuri mno za ardhi na ukamilifu wake, na upendeleo wake yeye aliyeishi kwenye kichaka kilichokuwa kinawaka moto. Hivi vyote na vikae juu ya kichwa cha Yosefu, juu ya paji la uso la aliye mkuu miongoni mwa ndugu zake.
And for the sweetenesse of the earth, and abundance thereof: and the good will of him that dwelt in the bushe, shall come vpon the head of Ioseph, and vpon the toppe of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
17 Katika fahari yeye ni kama fahali mzaliwa wa kwanza; pembe zake ni pembe za nyati, na kwa pembe hizo atapiga mataifa, hata yaliyo miisho ya dunia. Hivyo ndivyo yalivyo makumi elfu ya Efraimu; hivyo ndivyo yalivyo maelfu ya Manase.”
His beautie shalbe like his first borne bullock, and his hornes as the hornes of an vnicorne: with them hee shall smite the people together, euen the endes of the world: these are also the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 Kuhusu Zabuloni akasema: “Shangilia, Zabuloni, wakati wa kutoka nje, nawe Isakari, katika mahema yako.
And of Zebulun he sayd, Reioice, Zebulun, in thy going out, and thou Isshachar in thy tents.
19 Watawaita mataifa kwenye mlima, na huko mtatoa dhabihu za haki; watajifurahisha kwa wingi uliojaza bahari, kwa hazina zilizofichwa mchangani.”
They shall call ye people vnto the mountaine: there they shall offer the sacrifices of righteousnesse: for they shall sucke of the abundance of the sea, and of the treasures hid in the sand.
20 Kuhusu Gadi akasema: “Atabarikiwa yeye aongezaye milki ya Gadi! Gadi huishi huko kama simba, akirarua kwenye mkono au kichwa.
Also of Gad he said, Blessed be hee that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, that catcheth for his praye the arme with the head.
21 Alijichagulia nchi nzuri kuliko zote kwa ajili yake mwenyewe; fungu la kiongozi lilikuwa limehifadhiwa kwa ajili yake. Viongozi wa watu walipokusanyika, alitimiza haki ya mapenzi ya Bwana, na hukumu zake kuhusu Israeli.”
And hee looked to himselfe at the beginning, because there was a portion of the Lawe-giuer hid: yet hee shall come with the heades of the people, to execute the iustice of the Lord, and his iudgements with Israel.
22 Kuhusu Dani akasema: “Dani ni mwana simba, akiruka kutoka Bashani.”
And of Dan he said, Dan is a lions whelp: he shall leape from Bashan.
23 Kuhusu Naftali akasema: “Naftali amejaa tele upendeleo wa Bwana, naye amejaa baraka yake; atarithi magharibi na kusini.”
Also of Naphtali he sayd, O Naphtali, satisfied with fauour, and filled with the blessing of the Lord, possesse the West and the South.
24 Kuhusu Asheri akasema: “Aliyebarikiwa zaidi sana katika wana ni Asheri; yeye na apate upendeleo kwa ndugu zake, yeye na anawe miguu yake kwenye mafuta.
And of Asher he saide, Asher shalbe blessed with children: he shalbe acceptable vnto his brethren, and shall dippe his foote in oyle.
25 Makomeo ya malango yako yawe chuma na shaba, nazo nguvu zako zitakuwa sawa na siku zako.
Thy shooes shalbe yron and brasse, and thy strength shall continue as long as thou liuest.
26 “Hakuna mwingine kama Mungu wa Yeshuruni, ambaye hupanda juu ya mbingu ili akusaidie, na juu ya mawingu katika utukufu wake.
There is none like God, O righteous people, which rideth vpon the heauens for thine helpe, and on the cloudes in his glory.
27 Mungu wa milele ni kimbilio lako, na chini kuna mikono ya milele. Atamfukuza adui yako mbele yako, akisema, ‘Mwangamize yeye!’
The eternall God is thy refuge, and vnder his armes thou art for euer: hee shall cast out the enemie before thee, and will say, Destroy them.
28 Hivyo Israeli ataishi salama peke yake. Mzao wa Yakobo ni salama katika nchi ya nafaka na divai mpya, mahali ambapo mbingu hudondosha umande.
Then Israel the fountaine of Iaakob shall dwell alone in safetie in a lande of wheat, and wine: also his heauens shall drop the dewe.
29 Ee Israeli, wewe umebarikiwa! Ni nani kama wewe, taifa lililookolewa na Bwana? Yeye ni ngao yako na msaada wako, na upanga wako uliotukuka. Adui zako watatetemeka mbele yako, nawe utapakanyaga mahali pao pa juu.”
Blessed art thou, O Israel: who is like vnto thee, O people saued by the Lord, the shielde of thine helpe, and which is the sword of thy glorie? therefore thine enemies shall bee in subiection to thee, and thou shalt tread vpon their hie places.
