This is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 Ose, “Awurade fi Sinai bae ofi Seir baa wɔn so; ɔhran fi Paran bepɔw so. Ɔde akronkronfo pii bae fi anafo fam ne mmepɔw nsian so.
He said, "Jehovah came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon us. He shone forth from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
3 Nokware ni, wo na wodɔ nnipa no, akronkronfo nyinaa wɔ wo nsam. Wɔn nyinaa kotow wo nan ase, na wonya nkyerɛkyerɛ fi wo hɔ,
Yes, he loves the people. All his holy ones are in your hand. They sat down at your feet; each receives your words.
4 mmara a Mose de maa yɛn no; Yakob nkurɔfo agyapade.
Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
5 Ɔyɛɛ ɔhene wɔ Yeshurun bere a nnipa no ntuanofo hyiae, wɔne Israel mmusuakuw no.
He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6 “Ma Ruben nya nkwa na onwu, na mma ne nkurɔfo so nhuan.”
"Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few."
7 Na ɔkaa eyi faa Yuda ho: “Tie, Awurade, tie Yuda sufrɛ; fa no brɛ ne nkurɔfo. Ɔde nʼankasa nsa bɔ ne ho ban. Ao, yɛ ne boafo tia nʼatamfo!”
This is for Judah. He said, "Hear, Jehovah, 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 Asɛm a ɔka faa Lewi abusuakuw ho: “Awurade, wode ade kronkron ama wʼasomfo nokwafo Lewifo. Wosɔɔ wɔn hwɛe wɔ Masa wɔne wɔn koe wɔ Meriba asu ho.
Of Levi he said, "Give to Levi your Thummim and your Urim to your faithful one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you strove at the waters of Meribah;
9 Lewifo tiee wʼasɛm bɔɔ wʼapam no ho ban. Wodii wo nokware sen sɛnea wodii wɔn awofo, abusuafo ne wɔn mma nokware.
who said of his father, and of his mother, 'I have not seen him;' Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, Nor did he know his own children: For they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.
10 Afei, ma wɔnkyerɛ Yakob wo mmara no. Ma wɔmfa wo nkyerɛkyerɛ no mma Israelfo. Wɔde aduhuam bɛba wʼanim Abɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka so.
They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.
11 Hyira Lewifo, Ao Awurade na ma wɔn nsa ano nnwuma nsɔ wʼani. Bubu wɔn atamfo; bɔ wɔn atamfo hwe fam a wɔnsɔre bio.”
Jehovah, bless his substance. Accept the work of his hands. Strike the loins of those who rise against him, of those who hate him, that they not rise again."
12 Asɛm a Mose ka faa Benyamin abusuakuw ho: “Ma Awurade dɔ nnye ntin wɔ Benyamin nkurɔfo mu, efisɛ ɔbɔ wɔn ho ban daa nyinaa, na nea Awurade dɔ no no nhome wɔ ne nwini ase daa.”
Of Benjamin he said, "The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by him. He covers him all the day long. He dwells between his shoulders."
13 Asɛm a Mose ka faa Yosef mmusuakuw ho: “Awurade mfa ne sorosoro bosu a ɛsom bo ne bun mu nsu a efi asase ase no, nhyira wɔn nsase.
Of Joseph he said, "His land is blessed by Jehovah, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
14 Ɔmfa ne nnepa efi owia mu ba ne adonne a ebetumi apue afi ɔsram so;
with the choices fruits of the sun, and the bounteous yield of the months,
15 ne nnɔbae pa a efi tete mmepɔw mu ne nea abu so wɔ nkoko a etim hɔ daa mu
with the finest produce of the ancient mountains, and the abundance of the everlasting hills,
16 ne akyɛde a ɛso nni a efi asase ne ne mayɛ mu, ne adom a efi nea na ɔte nwura a ɛhyew mu no. Saa nhyira yi nyinaa mmra Yosef ti so, nea ɔyɛ ne nuanom mu ɔheneba no anintɔn mu.
with the choice 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 separate from his brothers.
17 Yosef sɛ nantwinini a ɔyɛ abakan wɔ ahenni mu. Ne ahoɔden te sɛ ɔtrɔm mmɛn. Ɔde bɛwowɔ aman no, wɔn a wɔwɔ asase ano no mpo. Eyinom ne Efraim mpem du du no; eyinom ne Manase mpempem no.”
A firstborn bull, majesty is his. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he shall push all of the peoples, to the farthest parts of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh."
18 Asɛm a Mose ka faa Sebulon ne Isakar mmusuakuw ho: “Sebulon asefo, munni anigye wɔ mo adifi mu. Isakar asefo, munni anigye wɔ mo ntamadan mu.
Of Zebulun he said, "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
19 Wɔbɛfrɛ nnipa ahorow akɔ bepɔw no so kɔbɔ trenee afɔre wɔ hɔ; wobefi po mu adenya mmoroso mu ato pon afi ademude a ahintaw wɔ nwea mu.”
They shall call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they shall draw out the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand."
20 Asɛm a Mose ka faa Gad abusuakuw ho: “Nhyira nka obi a ɔtrɛw Gad mantam mu! Gad te hɔ sɛ gyata a ɔretetew abasa anaa eti.
Of Gad he said, "He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.
21 Gad nkurɔfo paw asase pa no maa wɔn ho; ɔkannifo kyɛfa na wɔde maa wɔn. Bere a nkurɔfo no mpanyimfo hyiae no, wɔyɛɛ Awurade atɛntrenee apɛde no, ne nʼatemmu a ɛfa Israelfo ho no.”
He provided the first part for himself, for there was the lawgiver's portion reserved. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of Jehovah, his ordinances with Israel."
22 Asɛm a Mose ka faa Dan abusuakuw ho: “Dan yɛ gyata ba a, ɔrepue afi Basan.”
Of Dan he said, "Dan is a lion's cub that leaps out of Bashan."
23 Asɛm a Mose ka faa Naftali abusuakuw ho: “Naftali wɔ adom bebree na Awurade nhyira ayɛ wo ma; ɔtare no anafo fam bɛyɛ wo kyɛfa.”
Of Naphtali he said, "Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of the blessing of Jehovah, Possess the west and the south."
24 Asɛm a Mose ka faa Aser abusuakuw ho: “Mma no mu nea wɔahyira no koraa ne Aser; wɔmma ne nuanom mpɛ nʼasɛm, na ɔmfa ngo nguare nʼanan ase.
Of Asher he said, "Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Wʼapon ho nkyerewa nyɛ dade ne kɔbere mfrafrae; wʼahoɔden ne wo nkwanna bɛsae so.
Your bars shall be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
26 “Onyankopɔn biara nni hɔ sɛ Yeshurun Nyankopɔn; a ɔnam ɔsorosoro ne nʼahenni mu mununkum so ba bɛboa wo.
"There is none like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, In his majesty through the skies.
27 Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ hɔ daa yɛ wo guankɔbea; nea ɛwɔ ase no ne abasa a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no. Ɔbɛpam wʼatamfo afi wʼanim; ɔbɛka se, ‘Sɛe wɔn!’
The God of old is a dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, 'Destroy.'
28 Enti, Israel bɛtena ase dwoodwoo; Yakob benya bammɔ wɔ asase a atoko ne nsa foforo wɔ so, faako a ɔsoro bosu gugu.
Israel dwells in safety; the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
29 Nhyira nka mo, Israel! Hena na ɔte sɛ mo, nnipa a Awurade agye mo nkwa. Ɔyɛ mo nkatabo ne boafo ne mo anuonyam afoa! Mo atamfo bɛkotow mo anim, na moatiatia wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea.”
You are happy, Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency. Your enemies shall submit themselves to you. You shall tread on their high places."
