1 This is the blessing, bi which Moises, the man of God, blesside the sones of Israel bifor his deeth;
以下是神人摩西在未死之先為以色列人所祝的福:
2 and seide, The Lord cam fro Syna, and he roos to us fro Seir; he apperide fro the hil of Pharan, and thousandis of seyntis with hym; a lawe of fier in his riythond.
他說:耶和華從西奈而來, 從西珥向他們顯現, 從巴蘭山發出光輝, 從萬萬聖者中來臨, 從他右手為百姓傳出烈火的律法。
3 He louede puplis; alle seyntis ben in his hond, and thei that neiyen to hise feet schulen take of his doctryn.
他疼愛百姓; 眾聖徒都在他手中。 他們坐在他的腳下, 領受他的言語。
4 Moisis comaundide lawe `to vs, eritage of the multitude of Jacob.
摩西將律法傳給我們, 作為雅各會眾的產業。
5 And the king schal be at the moost riytful, whanne princes of the puple schulen be gaderid togidere with the lynagis of Israel.
百姓的眾首領, 以色列的各支派, 一同聚會的時候, 耶和華在耶書崙中為王。
6 Ruben lyue, and die not, and be he litil in noumbre.
願呂便存活,不致死亡; 願他人數不致稀少。
7 This is the blessyng of Juda; Lord, here thou the vois of Juda, and brynge in hym to his puple; hise hondis schulen fiyte for hym, and the helpere of hym schal be ayens hise aduersaries.
為猶大祝福說: 求耶和華俯聽猶大的聲音, 引導他歸於本族; 他曾用手為自己爭戰, 你必幫助他攻擊敵人。
8 Also he seide to Leuy, Thi perfeccioun and thi techyng is of an hooly man, whom thou preuedist in temptacioun, and demedist at the Watris of Ayenseiynge;
論利未說: 耶和華啊,你的土明和烏陵 都在你的虔誠人那裏。 你在瑪撒曾試驗他, 在米利巴水與他爭論。
9 which Leuy seide to his fadir and to his modir, Y knowe not you, and to hise britheren, Y knowe not hem; and knewen not her sones. These kepten thi speche, and these kepten thi couenaunt; A!
他論自己的父母說: 我未曾看見; 他也不承認弟兄, 也不認識自己的兒女。 這是因利未人遵行你的話, 謹守你的約。
10 Jacob, thei kepten thi domes, and `thou, Israel, thei kepten thi lawe; thei schulen putte encense in thi strong veniaunce, and brent sacrifice on thin auter.
他們要將你的典章教訓雅各, 將你的律法教訓以色列。 他們要把香焚在你面前, 把全牲的燔祭獻在你的壇上。
11 Lord, blesse thou the strengthe of hym, and resseyue thou the werkis of his hondis; smyte thou the backis of hise enemyes, and thei that haten hym, rise not.
求耶和華降福在他的財物上, 悅納他手裏所辦的事。 那些起來攻擊他和恨惡他的人, 願你刺透他們的腰, 使他們不得再起來。
12 And he seide to Benjamyn, The moost loued of the Lord schal dwelle tristili in hym, `that is, in the Lord; he schal dwelle al day as in a chaumbur, and he schal reste bitwixe the schuldris of hym.
論便雅憫說: 耶和華所親愛的必同耶和華安然居住; 耶和華終日遮蔽他,也住在他兩肩之中。
13 Also he seide to Joseph, `His lond is of the Lordis blessyng; of the applis of heuene, and of the dewe, and of watir liggynge bynethe;
論約瑟說: 願他的地蒙耶和華賜福, 得天上的寶物、甘露, 以及地裏所藏的泉水;
14 of the applis of fruytis of the sunne and moone; of the coppe of elde munteyns,
得太陽所曬熟的美果, 月亮所養成的寶物;
15 and of the applis of euerlastynge litle hillis;
得上古之山的至寶, 永世之嶺的寶物;
16 and of the fruytis of the lond, and of the fulnesse therof. The blessyng of hym that apperide in the busch come on the heed of Joseph, and on the cop of Nazarey, `that is, hooli, among hise britheren.
得地和其中所充滿的寶物, 並住荊棘中上主的喜悅。 願這些福都歸於約瑟的頭上, 歸於那與弟兄迥別之人的頂上。
17 As the first gendrid of a bole is the feirnesse of hym; the hornes of an vnicorn ben the hornes of hym; in tho he schal wyndewe folkis, `til to the termes of erthe. These ben the multitudis of Effraym, and these ben the thousyndis of Manasses.
他為牛群中頭生的,有威嚴; 他的角是野牛的角, 用以牴觸萬邦,直到地極。 這角是以法蓮的萬萬, 瑪拿西的千千。
18 And he seide to Zabulon, Zabulon, be thou glad in thi goyng out, and, Ysacar, in thi tabernaclis.

19 Thei schulen clepe puplis to the hil, there thei schulen offre sacrifices of riytfulnesse; whiche schulen souke the flowing of the see as mylk, and hid tresours of grauel.
他們要將列邦召到山上, 在那裏獻公義的祭; 因為他們要吸取海裏的豐富, 並沙中所藏的珍寶。
20 And he seide to Gad, Gad is blessid in broodnesse; he restide as a lioun, and he took the arm and the nol.
論迦得說: 使迦得擴張的應當稱頌! 迦得住如母獅; 他撕裂膀臂,連頭頂也撕裂。
21 And he siy his prinshed, that `the techere was kept in his part; which Gad was with the princes of the puple, and dide the riytfulnesses of the Lord, and his doom with Israel.
他為自己選擇頭一段地, 因在那裏有設立律法者的分存留。 他與百姓的首領同來; 他施行耶和華的公義 和耶和華與以色列所立的典章。

25 Yrun and bras the scho of hym; as the dai of thi youthe so and thin eelde.
你的門閂是銅的,鐵的。 你的日子如何,你的力量也必如何。
26 Noon other god is as the God of the moost riytful, that is, `as the God `of the puple of Israel, gouerned bi moost riytful lawe; the stiere of heuene is thin helpere; cloudis rennen aboute bi the glorie of hym.
耶書崙哪,沒有能比上帝的。 他為幫助你,乘在天空, 顯其威榮,駕行穹蒼。
27 His dwellynge place is aboue, and armes euerlastynge ben bynethe; he schal caste out fro thi face the enemy, and he schal seie, Be thou al to-brokun.
永生的上帝是你的居所; 他永久的膀臂在你以下。 他在你前面攆出仇敵, 說:毀滅吧。
28 Israel schal dwelle trustili and aloone; the iye of Jacob in the lond of whete, and of wyn; and heuenes schulen be derk with dew.
以色列安然居住; 雅各的本源獨居五穀新酒之地。 他的天也滴甘露。
29 Blessed art thou, Israel; thou puple that art saued in the Lord, who is lijk thee? The scheld of thin help and the swerd of thi glorie is thi God; thin enemyes schulen denye thee, and thou schalt trede her neckis.
以色列啊,你是有福的! 誰像你這蒙耶和華所拯救的百姓呢? 他是你的盾牌,幫助你, 是你威榮的刀劍。 你的仇敵必投降你; 你必踏在他們的高處。
