Deuteronomy 33

وَهذِهِ هِيَ الْبَرَكَةُ الَّتِي بَارَكَ بِهَا مُوسَى، رَجُلُ اللهِ، بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ،

And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

فَقَالَ: «جَاءَ الرَّبُّ مِنْ سِينَاءَ، وَأَشْرَقَ لَهُمْ مِنْ سَعِيرَ، وَتَلأْلأَ مِنْ جَبَلِ فَارَانَ، وَأَتَى مِنْ رِبْوَاتِ الْقُدْسِ، وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ نَارُ شَرِيعَةٍ لَهُمْ.

And he said, The LORD 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.

فَأَحَبَّ الشَّعْبَ. جَمِيعُ قِدِّيسِيهِ فِي يَدِكَ، وَهُمْ جَالِسُونَ عِنْدَ قَدَمِكَ يَتَقَبَّلُونَ مِنْ أَقْوَالِكَ.

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.

بِنَامُوسٍ أَوْصَانَا مُوسَى مِيرَاثًا لِجَمَاعَةِ يَعْقُوبَ.

Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

وَكَانَ فِي يَشُورُونَ مَلِكًا حِينَ اجْتَمَعَ رُؤَسَاءُ الشَّعْبِ أَسْبَاطُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعًا.

And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.

لِيَحْيَ رَأُوبَيْنُ وَلاَ يَمُتْ، وَلاَ يَكُنْ رِجَالُهُ قَلِيلِينَ».

Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.

وَهذِهِ عَنْ يَهُوذَا قَالَ: «اسْمَعْ يَا رَبُّ صَوْتَ يَهُوذَا، وَأْتِ بِهِ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ. بِيَدَيْهِ يُقَاتِلُ لِنَفْسِهِ، فَكُنْ عَوْنًا عَلَى أَضْدَادِهِ».

And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, 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.

وَلِلاَوِي قَالَ: «تُمِّيمُكَ وَأُورِيمُكَ لِرَجُلِكَ الصِّدِّيقِ، الَّذِي جَرَّبْتَهُ فِي مَسَّةَ وَخَاصَمْتَهُ عِنْدَ مَاءِ مَرِيبَةَ.

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;

الَّذِي قَالَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ: لَمْ أَرَهُمَا، وَبِإِخْوَتِهِ لَمْ يَعْتَرِفْ، وَأَوْلاَدَهُ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ، بَلْ حَفِظُوا كَلاَمَكَ وَصَانُوا عَهْدَكَ.

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.

يُعَلِّمُونَ يَعْقُوبَ أَحْكَامَكَ، وَإِسْرَائِيلَ نَامُوسَكَ. يَضَعُونَ بَخُورًا فِي أَنْفِكَ، وَمُحْرَقَاتٍ عَلَى مَذْبَحِكَ.

They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.

بَارِكْ يَارَبُّ قُوَّتَهُ، وَارْتَضِ بِعَمَلِ يَدَيْهِ. احْطِمْ مُتُونَ مُقَاوِمِيهِ وَمُبْغِضِيهِ حَتَّى لاَ يَقُومُوا».

Bless, LORD, 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.

وَلِبَنْيَامِينَ قَالَ: «حَبِيبُ الرَّبِّ يَسْكُنُ لَدَيْهِ آمِنًا. يَسْتُرُهُ طُولَ النَّهَارِ، وَبَيْنَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ يَسْكُنُ».

And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.

وَلِيُوسُفَ قَالَ: «مُبَارَكَةٌ مِنَ الرَّبِّ أَرْضُهُ، بِنَفَائِسِ السَّمَاءِ بِالنَّدَى، وَبِاللُّجَّةِ الرَّابِضَةِ تَحْتُ،

And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,

وَنَفَائِسِ مُغَلاَّتِ الشَّمْسِ، وَنَفَائِسِ مُنْبَتَاتِ الأَقْمَارِ.

And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,

وَمِنْ مَفَاخِرِ الْجِبَالِ الْقَدِيمَةِ، وَمِنْ نَفَائِسِ الإِكَامِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ،

And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,

وَمِنْ نَفَائِسِ الأَرْضِ وَمِلْئِهَا، وَرِضَى السَّاكِنِ فِي الْعُلَّيْقَةِ. فَلْتَأْتِ عَلَى رَأْسِ يُوسُفَ وَعَلَى قِمَّةِ نَذِيرِ إِخْوَتِهِ.

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.

بِكْرُ ثَوْرِهِ زِينَةٌ لَهُ، وَقَرْنَاهُ قَرْنَا رِئْمٍ. بِهِمَا يَنْطَحُ الشُّعُوبَ مَعًا إِلَى أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ. هُمَا رِبْوَاتُ أَفْرَايِمَ وَأُلُوفُ مَنَسَّى».

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.

وَلِزَبُولُونَ قَالَ: «اِفْرَحْ يَا زَبُولُونُ بِخُرُوجِكَ، وَأَنْتَ يَا يَسَّاكَرُ بِخِيَامِكَ.

And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.

إِلَى الْجَبَلِ يَدْعُوانِ الْقَبَائِلَ. هُنَاكَ يَذْبَحْانِ ذَبَائِحَ الْبِرِّ لأَنَّهُمَا يَرْتَضِعَانِ مِنْ فَيْضِ الْبِحَارِ، وَذَخَائِرَ مَطْمُورَةٍ فِي الرَّمْلِ».

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.

وَلِجَادَ قَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ الَّذِي وَسَّعَ جَادَ. كَلَبْوَةٍ سَكَنَ وَافْتَرَسَ الذِّرَاعَ مَعَ قِمَّةِ الرَّأْسِ.

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.

وَرَأَى الأَوَّلَ لِنَفْسِهِ، لأَنَّهُ هُنَاكَ قِسْمٌ مِنَ الشَّارِعِ مَحْفُوظًا، فَأَتَى رَأْسًا لِلشَّعْبِ، يَعْمَلُ حَقَّ الرَّبِّ وَأَحْكَامَهُ مَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

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 the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.

وَلِدَانَ قَالَ: «دَانُ شِبْلُ أَسَدٍ يَثِبُ مِنْ بَاشَانَ».

And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.

وَلِنَفْتَالِي قَالَ: « يَا نَفْتَالِي اشْبَعْ رِضًى، وَامْتَلِيءْ بَرَكَةً مِنَ الرَّبِّ، وَامْلِكِ الْغَرْبَ وَالْجَنُوبَ».

And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.

وَلأَشِيرَ قَالَ: «مُبَارَكٌ مِنَ الْبَنِينَ أَشِيرُ. لِيَكُنْ مَقْبُولاً مِنْ إِخْوَتِهِ، وَيَغْمِسْ فِي الزَّيْتِ رِجْلَهُ.

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.

حَدِيدٌ وَنُحَاسٌ مَزَالِيجُكَ، وَكَأَيَّامِكَ رَاحَتُكَ.

Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

«لَيْسَ مِثْلَ اللهِ يَا يَشُورُونُ. يَرْكَبُ السَّمَاءَ فِي مَعُونَتِكَ، وَالْغَمَامَ فِي عَظَمَتِهِ.

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.

الإِلهُ الْقَدِيمُ مَلْجَأٌ، وَالأَذْرُعُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ مِنْ تَحْتُ. فَطَرَدَ مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ الْعَدُوَّ وَقَالَ: أَهْلِكْ.

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.

فَيَسْكُنَ إِسْرَائِيلُ آمِنًا وَحْدَهُ. تَكُونُ عَيْنُ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى أَرْضِ حِنْطَةٍ وَخَمْرٍ، وَسَمَاؤُهُ تَقْطُرُ نَدًى.

Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.

طُوبَاكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ! مَنْ مِثْلُكَ يَا شَعْبًا مَنْصُورًا بِالرَّبِّ؟ تُرْسِ عَوْنِكَ وَسَيْفِ عَظَمَتِكَ فَيَتَذَلَّلُ لَكَ أَعْدَاؤُكَ، وَأَنْتَ تَطَأُ مُرْتَفَعَاتِهِمْ».

Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, 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.
