Deuteronomy 33

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

Men benediksyon Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, te bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo anvan li mouri.

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.

Li di: -Seyè a soti mòn Sinayi, li leve tankou solèy lòt bò peyi Seyi. L'ap klere depi sou tèt mòn Paran an. Li rive jouk Meriba nan peyi Kadès. Sou bò dwat li yon flanm dife.

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.

Seyè a renmen tout pèp sou latè. Men, li pwoteje tout moun k'ap viv apa pou li. Yo bese nan pye l'. Yo resevwa lòd l'ap ba yo.

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

Moyiz ban nou lalwa. Se yon byen li kite pou tout fanmi Jakòb la.

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

Seyè a te wa nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la lè tout chèf pèp la te reyini, lè tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la te sanble.

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

Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Woubenn lan: Se pou Woubenn viv lontan! Fanmi li p'ap janm disparèt, malgre li pa gen anpil moun.

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.

Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Jida a: Seyè, koute vwa moun fanmi Jida yo! Fè yo mete tèt yo ansanm ankò ak rès pèp la. Goumen pou yo, Seyè! Se pou ou ede yo lè y'ap batay ak lènmi l' yo.

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;

Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Levi a: Seyè! Se ou menm ki pou fè yo konnen volonte ou. Y'ap sèvi ou san lage. Ou te sonde yo bò Masa. Ou te kenbe tèt ak yo bò sous dlo Meriba yo.

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.

Yo pa konn papa! Yo pa konn manman! Yo pa konn frè! Yo pa konn pitit! Se lòd ou yo y'ap swiv, se kontra ou la y'ap kenbe fèm.

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

Y'a moutre pitit Jakòb yo regleman ou yo. Y'a moutre pitit Izrayèl yo lalwa ou la. Y'a boule lansan devan ou, y'a ofri sou lòtèl bèt yo touye pou boule nèt pou ou.

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.

Seyè, ba yo anpil kouraj! Se pou yo fè ou plezi nan tou sa y'ap fè! Kase ren moun ki pa vle wè yo. Se pou lènmi l' yo pa ka leve tèt ankò.

Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Benjamen an: Se moun Seyè a renmen anpil. Y'a viv ak kè poze bò kote l'. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la va toujou pwoteje yo, l'a moute kay li nan mitan yo.

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,

Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Jozèf la: Se pou Seyè a beni peyi ki pou yo a. L'a voye bonkou lapli sot nan syèl la, l'a fè sous dlo pete toupatou.

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

L'a fè pyebwa ki donnen chak lanne bay bon rekòt. L'a fè pyebwa ki donnen chak sezon bay bon fwi.

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

L'a fè vye mòn yo bay bèl rekòt. L'a fè vye tè mòn yo bay pi bon manje ki genyen.

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.

L'a fè tè yo a bay tout kalite bon rekòt. Bondye ki te pale nan touf raje a va ba yo favè l'. Se pou tout benediksyon sa yo tonbe sou tèt Jozèf, paske nan tout pitit papa li yo, se li menm yo te chwazi.

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.

Li byen kanpe tankou premye pitit yon towo bèf. L'ap gen fòs kouraj yon bèf savann. L'ap bat tout pèp ki sou latè ak kout kòn, l'ap kouri dèyè yo jouk nan dènye bout latè. Wi, se sa tout milyon moun Efrayim yo ak tout kantite moun Manase yo pral fè.

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

Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Zabilon an ak branch fanmi Isaka a: Nou menm moun Zabilon yo, se pou trafik sou lanmè nou mache byen. Nou menm moun Isaka yo, se pou komès n'ap fè lakay nou mache byen tou.

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.

Yo rele tout moun lòt nasyon yo vin sou mòn lan. Se la y'a fè ofrann Bondye mande yo, paske yo fè tout lajan yo sou lanmè, nan komès yo fè sou lanmè ak nan trafik lakòt y'ap fè toupatou.

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.

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.

Yo pran pi bon venn tè a pou yo. Se pòsyon tè ki toujou vin pou chèf. Se yo k'ap mache devan pèp la. Yo fè tou sa Seyè a te mande, yo swiv tout regleman Seyè a te bay pèp Izrayèl la.

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.

Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Neftali a: Neftali resevwa kont benediksyon l'. Seyè a fè l' anpil anpil favè. Pòsyon tè yo ap soti bò letan an, l'ap desann jouk nan pwent sid peyi a.

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.

Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Asè a: Nan tout pitit Jakòb yo, benediksyon pou Asè! Tout frè li yo ap renmen l'. Se pou tè li yo rich ak pye oliv.

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

Se pou pòtay lavil li yo fèt an fè ak an asye, pou li ka toujou viv ak kè poze.

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

Pa gen tankou Bondye moun pèp Izrayèl la. Li kouri sou nwaj yo nan syèl la pou l' vin pote yo sekou avèk fòs ponyèt li.

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.

Bondye ki la pou tout tan an ap pwoteje nou. L'ap pran dèfans nou ak pouvwa li ki p'ap janm fini. L'ap fè lènmi nou yo kouri met deyò devan nou, l'ap ban nou lòd pou nou detwi yo nèt.

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.

Pèp Izrayèl la ap viv ak kè poze. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo p'ap viv tankou lòt nasyon yo. Y'ap viv nan yon peyi k'ap bay anpil farin ak diven, nan yon peyi kote ki p'ap janm manke lapli.

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.

Ala bon sa bon pou nou, moun pèp Izrayèl! Pa gen tankou nou! Se Seyè a menm ki delivrans nou! Se li ki pwoteksyon nou! Se li ki defans nou! L'ap mache devan nou pou l' fè nou genyen batay la. Lènmi nou yo va vin mande padon nan pye nou. Men nou menm, n'a kraze sa ki fè lògèy yo a anba pye nou.
