1 Èyí ni ìbùkún tí Mose ènìyàn Ọlọ́run bùkún fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kí ó tó kú.
This is the blessing, with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
2 Ó sì wí pé, “Olúwa ti Sinai wá, ó sì yọ sí wọn láti Seiri wá ó sì tàn án jáde láti òkè Parani wá. Ó ti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹgbẹgbàarùn-ún àwọn mímọ́ wá láti ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ ni òfin kan a mú bí iná ti jáde fún wọn wá.
And he said: “The Lord went forth from Sinai, and he arose for us from Seir. He appeared from Mount Paran, and thousands of holy ones were with him. The fiery law was in his right hand.
3 Nítòótọ́, ó fẹ́ràn àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀, gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ wà ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀. Ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti foríbalẹ̀, àti lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ni wọ́n ti ń gba ọ̀rọ̀,
He loved the people; all the holy ones are in his hand. And those who approach his feet shall receive from his doctrine.
4 òfin tí Mose fi fún wa, ìní ti ìjọ ènìyàn Jakọbu.
Moses instructed us in the law, the inheritance of the multitude of Jacob.
5 Òun ni ọba lórí Jeṣuruni ní ìgbà tí olórí àwọn ènìyàn péjọpọ̀, pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli.
The king shall have great righteousness, at the gathering of the princes of the people with the tribes of Israel.
6 “Jẹ́ kí Reubeni yè kí ó má ṣe kú, tàbí kí ènìyàn rẹ mọ níwọ̀n.”
Let Ruben live, and not die, and may he be small in number.”
7 Èyí ni ohun tí ó sọ nípa Juda: “Olúwa gbọ́ ohùn Juda kí o sì mú tọ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ wá. Kí ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kí ó tó fún un, kí ó sì ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀!”
This is the blessing of Judah. “Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, and lead him to his people. His hands shall fight for him, and he shall be his helper against his adversaries.”
8 Ní ti Lefi ó wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí Tumimu àti Urimu rẹ kí ó wà pẹ̀lú ẹni mímọ́ rẹ. Ẹni tí ó dánwò ní Massa, ìwọ bá jà ní omi Meriba.
Likewise, to Levi he said: “Your perfection and your doctrine are for your holy man, whom you have proven by temptation, and whom you have judged at the Waters of Contradiction.
9 Ó wí fún baba àti ìyá rẹ pé, ‘Èmi kò buyì fún wọn.’ Kò mọ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, tàbí mọ àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó dúró lórí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì pa májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ mọ́.
He has said to his father and to his mother, ‘I do not know you,’ and to his brothers, ‘I will disregard you.’ And they have not known their own sons. Such as these have kept your word and have observed your covenant:
10 Ó kọ́ Jakọbu ní ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ àti Israẹli ní òfin rẹ̀. Ó mú tùràrí wá síwájú rẹ̀ àti ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ ẹbọ sísun sórí i pẹpẹ rẹ̀.
your judgments, O Jacob, and your law, O Israel. They shall place incense before your fury and a holocaust upon your altar.
11 Bùsi ohun ìní rẹ̀, Olúwa, kí o sì tẹ́wọ́gbà iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ̀. Lu ẹgbẹ́ àwọn tí ó dìde sí i; àwọn tí ó kórìíra rẹ̀, kí wọn kí ó má ṣe dìde mọ́.”
O Lord, bless his strength, and receive the works of his hands. Strike the backs of his enemies, and do not let those who hate him rise up.”
12 Ní ti Benjamini ó wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí olùfẹ́ Olúwa máa gbé ní àlàáfíà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, òun a máa bò ó ní gbogbo ọjọ́, ẹni tí Olúwa fẹ́ràn yóò máa sinmi láàrín èjìká rẹ̀.”
And to Benjamin he said: “The most beloved of the Lord will live confidently in him. He shall remain all day long, as if in a bridal chamber, and he shall rest amid her arms.”
13 Ní ti Josẹfu ó wí pé, “Kí Olúwa bùkún ilẹ̀ rẹ, fún ohun iyebíye láti ọ̀run pẹ̀lú ìrì àti ibú tí ó ń bẹ níṣàlẹ̀;
Likewise, to Joseph he said: “His land shall be from the blessing of the Lord, from the fruits of heaven, and from the dew, and from the abyss which lies below,
14 àti fún èso iyebíye tí ọ̀run mú wá àti ti ohun iyebíye tí ń dàgbà ní oṣooṣù;
from the fruits of the crops under the sun and the moon,
15 pẹ̀lú ohun pàtàkì òkè ńlá ìgbàanì àti fún ohun iyebíye ìgbà ayérayé;
from the heights of the ancient mountains, from the fruits of the everlasting hills,
16 Pẹ̀lú ohun iyebíye ayé àti ẹ̀kún un rẹ̀ àti fún ìfẹ́ ẹni tí ó ń gbé inú igbó. Jẹ́ kí gbogbo èyí sinmi lé orí Josẹfu, lórí àtàrí ẹni tí ó yàtọ̀ láàrín àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀.
and from the fruits of the earth with all its plenitude. May the blessing of him who appeared in the bush, settle upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of the Nazarite among his brothers.
17 Ní ọláńlá ó dàbí àkọ́bí akọ màlúù; ìwo rẹ̀, ìwo àgbáǹréré ni. Pẹ̀lú wọn ni yóò fi ti àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, pàápàá títí dé òpin ayé. Àwọn sì ni ẹgbẹẹgbàárùn mẹ́wàá Efraimu, àwọn sì ni ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún Manase.”
His excellence is like that of a first-born bull. His horns are like the horns of a rhinoceros; he shall brandish these against the Gentiles, even to the ends of the earth. These are the multitudes of Ephraim, and these the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 Ní ti Sebuluni ó wí pé, “Yọ̀ Sebuluni, ní ti ìjáde lọ rẹ, àti ìwọ Isakari, nínú àgọ́ rẹ.
And to Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your departure, and Issachar, in your tabernacles.

They shall summon the peoples to the mountain. There, they shall immolate the victims of justice, who feed on the flood of the sea, as if on milk, and on the hidden treasures of the sands.”
20 Ní ti Gadi ó wí pé, “Ìbùkún ni ẹni tí ó mú Gadi gbilẹ̀! Gadi ń gbé níbẹ̀ bí kìnnìún, ó sì fa apá ya, àní àtàrí.
And to Gad he said: “Blessed is Gad in his breadth. He has rested like a lion, and he has seized the arm and the top of the head.
21 Ó sì yan ilẹ̀ tí ó dára jù fún ara rẹ̀; ìpín olórí ni a sì fi fún un. Nígbà tí ó rí tí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn péjọ, ó mú òdodo Olúwa ṣẹ, àti ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”
And he has seen his own pre-eminence, which his teacher has stored up as his portion. He was with the princes of the people, and he accomplished the justices of the Lord, and his judgment with Israel.”
22 Ní ti Dani ó wí pé, “Ọmọ kìnnìún ni Dani, tí ń fò láti Baṣani wá.”
Likewise, to Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion. He shall flow plentifully from Bashan.”
23 Ní ti Naftali ó wí pé, “Ìwọ Naftali, kún fún ojúrere Ọlọ́run àti ìbùkún Olúwa; yóò jogún ìhà ìwọ̀-oòrùn àti gúúsù.”
And to Naphtali he said: “Naphtali shall enjoy abundance, and he shall be full of the blessings of the Lord. He shall possess the sea and the Meridian.”
24 Ní ti Aṣeri ó wí pé, “Ìbùkún ọmọ ni ti Aṣeri; jẹ́ kí ó rí ojúrere láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ kí ó sì ri ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ sínú òróró.
Likewise, to Asher he said: “Let Asher be blessed with sons. Let him be pleasing to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Bàtà rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ irin àti idẹ, agbára rẹ̀ yóò sì rí bí ọjọ́ rẹ̀.
His shoe shall be of iron and of brass. As were the days of your youth, so also shall be your old age.
26 “Kò sí ẹlòmíràn bí Ọlọ́run Jeṣuruni, ẹni tí ń gun ọ̀run fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ àti ní ojú ọ̀run nínú ọláńlá rẹ̀.
There is no other god like the God of the most righteous one. He who rides upon the heavens is your helper. His magnificence scatters the clouds.
27 Ọlọ́run ayérayé ni ibi ìsádi rẹ, àti ní ìsàlẹ̀ ni apá ayérayé wà. Yóò lé àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ níwájú rẹ, ó sì wí pé, ‘Ẹ máa parun!’
His habitation is above, and the everlasting arms are below. He shall cast out the enemy before your face, and he shall say: ‘Be utterly broken!’
28 Israẹli nìkan yóò jókòó ní àlàáfíà, orísun Jakọbu nìkan ní ilẹ̀ ọkà àti ti ọtí wáìnì, níbi tí ọ̀run ti ń sẹ ìrì sílẹ̀.
Israel shall live in confidence and alone, as the eye of Jacob in a land of grain and of wine; and the heavens shall be misty with dew.
29 Ìbùkún ni fún ọ, Israẹli, ta ni ó dàbí rẹ, ẹni tí a gbàlà láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa? Òun ni asà àti ìrànwọ́ rẹ̀ àti idà ọláńlá rẹ̀. Àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ yóò tẹríba fún ọ, ìwọ yóò sì tẹ ibi gíga wọn mọ́lẹ̀.”
Blessed are you, O Israel. Who is like you, the people who are saved by the Lord? He is the shield of your assistance and the sword of your glory. Your enemies will refuse to acknowledge you, and so you shall tread upon their necks.”
