Deuteronomy 33

1 This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced upon the Israelites before his death.

1 以下是神人摩西在未死之先为以色列人所祝的福：

2 He said: “The LORD came from Sinai and dawned upon us from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran and came with myriads of holy ones, with flaming fire at His right hand.

2 他说：耶和华从西奈而来， 从西珥向他们显现， 从巴兰山发出光辉， 从万万圣者中来临， 从他右手为百姓传出烈火的律法。

3 Surely You love the people; all the holy ones are in Your hand, and they sit down at Your feet; each receives Your words—

3 他疼爱百姓； 众圣徒都在他手中。 他们坐在他的脚下， 领受他的言语。

4 the law that Moses gave us, the possession of the assembly of Jacob.

4 摩西将律法传给我们， 作为雅各会众的产业。

5 So the LORD became King in Jeshurun when the leaders of the people gathered, when the tribes of Israel came together.

5 百姓的众首领， 以色列的各支派， 一同聚会的时候， 耶和华 在耶书 中为王。

6 Let Reuben live and not die, nor his men be few.”

6 愿吕便存活，不致死亡； 愿他人数不致稀少。

7 And concerning Judah he said: “O LORD, hear the cry of Judah and bring him to his people. With his own hands he defends his cause, but may You be a help against his foes.”

7 为犹大祝福说： 求耶和华俯听犹大的声音， 引导他归于本族； 他曾用手为自己争战， 你必帮助他攻击敌人。

8 Concerning Levi he said: “Give Your Thummim to Levi and Your Urim to Your godly one, whom You tested at Massah and contested at the waters of Meribah.

8 论利未说： 耶和华啊，你的土明和乌陵 都在你的虔诚人那里。 你在玛撒曾试验他， 在米利巴水与他争论。

9 He said of his father and mother, ‘I do not consider them.’ He disregarded his brothers and did not know his own sons, for he kept Your word and maintained Your covenant.

9 他论自己的父母说： 我未曾看见； 他也不承认弟兄， 也不认识自己的儿女。 这是因利未人遵行你的话， 谨守你的约。

10 He will teach Your ordinances to Jacob and Your law to Israel; he will set incense before You and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.

10 他们要将你的典章教训雅各， 将你的律法教训以色列。 他们要把香焚在你面前， 把全牲的燔祭献在你的坛上。

11 Bless his substance, O LORD, and accept the work of his hands. Smash the loins of those who rise against him, and of his foes so they can rise no more.”

11 求耶和华降福在他的财物上， 悦纳他手里所办的事。 那些起来攻击他和恨恶他的人， 愿你刺透他们的腰， 使他们不得再起来。

12 Concerning Benjamin he said: “May the beloved of the LORD rest secure in Him; God shields him all day long, and upon His shoulders he rests.”

12 论便雅悯说： 耶和华所亲爱的必同耶和华安然居住； 耶和华终日遮蔽他，也住在他两肩之中。

13 Concerning Joseph he said: “May his land be blessed by the LORD with the precious dew from heaven above and the deep waters that lie beneath,

13 论约瑟说： 愿他的地蒙耶和华赐福， 得天上的宝物、甘露， 以及地里所藏的泉水；

14 with the bountiful harvest from the sun and the abundant yield of the seasons,

14 得太阳所晒熟的美果， 月亮所养成的宝物；

15 with the best of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills,

15 得上古之山的至宝， 永世之岭的宝物；

16 with the choice gifts of the land and everything in it, and with the favor of Him who dwelt in the burning bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph and crown the brow of the prince of his brothers.

16 得地和其中所充满的宝物， 并住荆棘中上主的喜悦。 愿这些福都归于约瑟的头上， 归于那与弟兄迥别之人的顶上。

17 His majesty is like a firstborn bull, and his horns are like those of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even to the ends of the earth. Such are the myriads of Ephraim, and such are the thousands of Manasseh.”

17 他为牛群中头生的，有威严； 他的角是野牛的角， 用以抵触万邦，直到地极。 这角是以法莲的万万， 玛拿西的千千。

18 Concerning Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your journeys, and Issachar, in your tents.

18 论西布伦说： 西布伦哪，你出外可以欢喜。 以萨迦啊，在你帐棚里可以快乐。

19 They will call the peoples to a mountain; there they will offer sacrifices of righteousness. For they will feast on the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.”

19 他们要将列邦召到山上， 在那里献公义的祭； 因为他们要吸取海里的丰富， 并沙中所藏的珍宝。

20 Concerning Gad he said: “Blessed is he who enlarges the domain of Gad! He lies down like a lion and tears off an arm or a head.

20 论迦得说： 使迦得扩张的应当称颂！ 迦得住如母狮； 他撕裂膀臂，连头顶也撕裂。

21 He chose the best land for himself, because a ruler’s portion was reserved for him there. He came with the leaders of the people; he administered the LORD’s justice and His ordinances for Israel.”

21 他为自己选择头一段地， 因在那里有设立律法者的分存留。 他与百姓的首领同来； 他施行耶和华的公义 和耶和华与以色列所立的典章。

22 Concerning Dan he said: “Dan is a lion’s cub, leaping out of Bashan.”

22 论但说： 但为小狮子， 从巴珊跳出来。

23 Concerning Naphtali he said: “Naphtali is abounding with favor, full of the blessing of the LORD; he shall take possession of the sea and the south.”

23 论拿弗他利说： 拿弗他利啊，你足沾恩惠， 满得耶和华的福， 可以得西方和南方为业。

24 And concerning Asher he said: “May Asher be the most blessed of sons; may he be the most favored among his brothers and dip his foot in oil.

24 论亚设说： 愿亚设享受多子的福乐， 得他弟兄的喜悦， 可以把脚蘸在油中。

25 May the bolts of your gate be iron and bronze, and may your strength match your days.”

25 你的门闩 是铜的，铁的。 你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。

26 “There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to your aid, and the clouds in His majesty.

26 耶书 哪，没有能比 神的。 他为帮助你，乘在天空， 显其威荣，驾行穹苍。

27 The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy before you, giving the command, ‘Destroy him!’

27 永生的 神是你的居所； 他永久的膀臂在你以下。 他在你前面撵出仇敌， 说：毁灭吧。

28 So Israel dwells securely; the fountain of Jacob lives untroubled in a land of grain and new wine, where even the heavens drip with dew.

28 以色列安然居住； 雅各的本源独居五谷新酒之地。 他的天也滴甘露。

29 Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is the shield that protects you, the sword in which you boast. Your enemies will cower before you, and you shall trample their high places.”

29 以色列啊，你是有福的！ 谁像你这蒙耶和华所拯救的百姓呢？ 他是你的盾牌，帮助你， 是你威荣的刀剑。 你的仇敌必投降你； 你必踏在他们的高处。
