Torati 33
1 Hii ndiyo baraka Mose mtu wa Mungu aliyotamka kwa Waisraeli kabla ya kifo chake.
This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
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.
He said, “The LORD came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them. He shone from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
3 Hakika ni wewe ambaye huwapenda watu, watakatifu wako wote wamo mkononi mwako. Miguuni pako wote wanasujudu na kutoka kwako wanapokea mafundisho,
Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.
4 sheria ile Mose aliyotupa sisi, tulio milki ya kusanyiko la Yakobo.
Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
5 Alikuwa mfalme juu ya Yeshuruni wakati viongozi wa watu walipokusanyika, pamoja na makabila ya Israeli.
He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6 “Reubeni na aishi, asife, wala watu wake wasiwe wachache.”
“Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.”
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!”
This is for Judah. He said, “Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah. Bring him in to his people. With his hands he contended for himself. You shall be a help against his adversaries.”
8 Kuhusu Lawi alisema: “Thumimu yako na Urimu yako ulimpa, mtu yule uliyemfadhili. Ulimjaribu huko Masa na kushindana naye kwenye maji ya Meriba.
About Levi he said, “Your Thummim and your Urim are with your godly one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you contended 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.
He said of his father, and of his mother, ‘I have not seen him.’ He didn’t acknowledge his brothers, nor did he know his own children; for they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.
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 Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your 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.”
LORD, bless his skills. Accept the work of his hands. Strike through the hips of those who rise up against him, of those who hate him, that they not rise again.”
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.”
About Benjamin he said, “The beloved of the LORD will dwell in safety by him. He covers him all day long. He dwells between his shoulders.”
13 Kuhusu Yosefu akasema: “Bwana na aibariki nchi yake kwa umande wa thamani kutoka mbinguni juu, na vilindi vya maji vilivyotulia chini;
About Joseph he said, “His land is blessed by the LORD, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
14 pamoja na vitu vilivyo bora sana viletwavyo na jua, na vitu vizuri sana vinavyoweza kutolewa na mwezi;
for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,
15 pamoja na zawadi bora sana za milima ya zamani na kwa wingi wa baraka za vilima vya milele;
for the best things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
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.
for the precious things of the earth and its fullness, the good will of him who lived in the bush. Let this come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who was separated from his brothers.
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.”
Majesty belongs to the firstborn of his herd. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he will push all the peoples to the ends of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 Kuhusu Zabuloni akasema: “Shangilia, Zabuloni, wakati wa kutoka nje, nawe Isakari, katika mahema yako.
About Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
19 Watawaita mataifa kwenye mlima, na huko mtatoa dhabihu za haki; watajifurahisha kwa wingi uliojaza bahari, kwa hazina zilizofichwa mchangani.”
They will call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they will draw out the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand.”
20 Kuhusu Gadi akasema: “Atabarikiwa yeye aongezaye milki ya Gadi! Gadi huishi huko kama simba, akirarua kwenye mkono au kichwa.
About Gad he said, “He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm and the crown of 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.”
He provided the first part for himself, for the lawgiver’s portion was reserved for him. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of the LORD, His ordinances with Israel.”
22 Kuhusu Dani akasema: “Dani ni mwana simba, akiruka kutoka Bashani.”
About Dan he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps out of Bashan.”
23 Kuhusu Naftali akasema: “Naftali amejaa tele upendeleo wa Bwana, naye amejaa baraka yake; atarithi magharibi na kusini.”
About Naphtali he said, “Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of the LORD’s blessing, Possess 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.
About Asher he said, “Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Makomeo ya malango yako yawe chuma na shaba, nazo nguvu zako zitakuwa sawa na siku zako.
Your bars will be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
26 “Hakuna mwingine kama Mungu wa Yeshuruni, ambaye hupanda juu ya mbingu ili akusaidie, na juu ya mawingu katika utukufu wake.
“There is no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, in his excellency on the skies.
27 Mungu wa milele ni kimbilio lako, na chini kuna mikono ya milele. Atamfukuza adui yako mbele yako, akisema, ‘Mwangamize yeye!’
The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’
28 Hivyo Israeli ataishi salama peke yake. Mzao wa Yakobo ni salama katika nchi ya nafaka na divai mpya, mahali ambapo mbingu hudondosha umande.
Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
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.”
You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on their high places.”
