Deuteronomy 33
1 Èyí ni ìbùkún tí Mose ènìyàn Ọlọ́run bùkún fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kí ó tó kú.
And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children 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, Yhwh came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
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,
Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
4 òfin tí Mose fi fún wa, ìní ti ìjọ ènìyàn Jakọbu.
Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 Òun ni ọba lórí Jeṣuruni ní ìgbà tí olórí àwọn ènìyàn péjọpọ̀, pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli.
And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 “Jẹ́ kí Reubeni yè kí ó má ṣe kú, tàbí kí ènìyàn rẹ mọ níwọ̀n.”
Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
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!”
And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, Yhwh, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
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.
And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
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.
Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy 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.
They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine 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.”
Bless, Yhwh, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
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 of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Yhwh shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
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;
And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Yhwh be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14 àti fún èso iyebíye tí ọ̀run mú wá àti ti ohun iyebíye tí ń dàgbà ní oṣooṣù;
And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 pẹ̀lú ohun pàtàkì òkè ńlá ìgbàanì àti fún ohun iyebíye ìgbà ayérayé;
And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting 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 for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
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 glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are 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 of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
19 Wọn yóò pe àwọn ènìyàn sórí òkè àti níbẹ̀ wọn yóò rú ẹbọ òdodo, wọn yóò mu nínú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ Òkun, nínú ìṣúra tí ó pamọ́ nínú iyanrìn.”
They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
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 of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown 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 provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of Yhwh, and his judgments with Israel.
22 Ní ti Dani ó wí pé, “Ọmọ kìnnìún ni Dani, tí ń fò láti Baṣani wá.”
And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion’s whelp: he shall leap 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 of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of Yhwh: possess thou the west and the south.
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.
And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Bàtà rẹ̀ yóò jẹ́ irin àti idẹ, agbára rẹ̀ yóò sì rí bí ọjọ́ rẹ̀.
Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
26 “Kò sí ẹlòmíràn bí Ọlọ́run Jeṣuruni, ẹni tí ń gun ọ̀run fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ àti ní ojú ọ̀run nínú ọláńlá rẹ̀.
There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
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!’
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
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 then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of grain and wine; also his heavens shall drop down 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.”
Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by Yhwh, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
