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

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.

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.

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

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.

¶ 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.

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.

¶ 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.

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.

10 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.

11 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.

12 ¶ 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.

13 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.

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

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

16 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.

17 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.

18 ¶ 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.

19 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.

20 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Gad la: Lwanj pou Bondye ki bay Gad anpil tè pou l' rete. Gad kouche tankou yon lyon k'ap veye, pou l' dechire yon bra, yon tèt, yon figi.

21 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.

22 ¶ Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Dann lan: Dann se yon jenn ti lyon k'ap kouri soti peyi Bazan.

23 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.

24 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.

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

26 ¶ 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.

27 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.

28 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.

29 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.

Moses Blesses the Tribes(A)

33 This is the blessing(B) that Moses the man of God(C) pronounced on the Israelites before his death. He said:

“The Lord came from Sinai(D)
    and dawned over them from Seir;(E)
    he shone forth(F) from Mount Paran.(G)
He came with[a] myriads of holy ones(H)
    from the south, from his mountain slopes.[b]
Surely it is you who love(I) the people;
    all the holy ones are in your hand.(J)
At your feet they all bow down,(K)
    and from you receive instruction,
the law that Moses gave us,(L)
    the possession of the assembly of Jacob.(M)
He was king(N) over Jeshurun[c](O)
    when the leaders of the people assembled,
    along with the tribes of Israel.

“Let Reuben live and not die,
    nor[d] his people be few.”(P)

And this he said about Judah:(Q)

“Hear, Lord, the cry of Judah;
    bring him to his people.
With his own hands he defends his cause.
    Oh, be his help against his foes!”

About Levi(R) he said:

“Your Thummim and Urim(S) belong
    to your faithful servant.(T)
You tested(U) him at Massah;
    you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.(V)
He said of his father and mother,(W)
    ‘I have no regard for them.’
He did not recognize his brothers
    or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
    and guarded your covenant.(X)
10 He teaches(Y) your precepts to Jacob
    and your law to Israel.(Z)
He offers incense before you(AA)
    and whole burnt offerings on your altar.(AB)
11 Bless all his skills, Lord,
    and be pleased with the work of his hands.(AC)
Strike down those who rise against him,
    his foes till they rise no more.”

12 About Benjamin(AD) he said:

“Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him,(AE)
    for he shields him all day long,(AF)
    and the one the Lord loves(AG) rests between his shoulders.(AH)

13 About Joseph(AI) he said:

“May the Lord bless his land
    with the precious dew from heaven above
    and with the deep waters that lie below;(AJ)
14 with the best the sun brings forth
    and the finest the moon can yield;
15 with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains(AK)
    and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;
16 with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness
    and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush.(AL)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
    on the brow of the prince among[e] his brothers.(AM)
17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;
    his horns(AN) are the horns of a wild ox.(AO)
With them he will gore(AP) the nations,
    even those at the ends of the earth.
Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;(AQ)
    such are the thousands of Manasseh.(AR)

18 About Zebulun(AS) he said:

“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
    and you, Issachar,(AT) in your tents.
19 They will summon peoples to the mountain(AU)
    and there offer the sacrifices of the righteous;(AV)
they will feast on the abundance of the seas,(AW)
    on the treasures hidden in the sand.”

20 About Gad(AX) he said:

“Blessed is he who enlarges Gad’s domain!(AY)
    Gad lives there like a lion,
    tearing at arm or head.
21 He chose the best land for himself;(AZ)
    the leader’s portion was kept for him.(BA)
When the heads of the people assembled,
    he carried out the Lord’s righteous will,(BB)
    and his judgments concerning Israel.”

22 About Dan(BC) he said:

“Dan is a lion’s cub,
    springing out of Bashan.”

23 About Naphtali(BD) he said:

“Naphtali is abounding with the favor of the Lord
    and is full of his blessing;
    he will inherit southward to the lake.”

24 About Asher(BE) he said:

“Most blessed of sons is Asher;
    let him be favored by his brothers,
    and let him bathe his feet in oil.(BF)
25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze,(BG)
    and your strength will equal your days.(BH)

26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,(BI)
    who rides(BJ) across the heavens to help you(BK)
    and on the clouds(BL) in his majesty.(BM)
27 The eternal(BN) God is your refuge,(BO)
    and underneath are the everlasting(BP) arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,(BQ)
    saying, ‘Destroy them!’(BR)
28 So Israel will live in safety;(BS)
    Jacob will dwell[f] secure
in a land of grain and new wine,
    where the heavens drop dew.(BT)
29 Blessed are you, Israel!(BU)
    Who is like you,(BV)
    a people saved by the Lord?(BW)
He is your shield and helper(BX)
    and your glorious sword.
Your enemies will cower before you,
    and you will tread on their heights.(BY)
