申命记 33
1 以下是神人摩西在未死之先为以色列人所祝的福：
This is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
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。
He said, "Jehovah came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon us. He shone forth from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
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。
Yes, he loves the people. All his holy ones are in your hand. They sat down at your feet; each receives your words.
4 摩西将律法传给我们， 作为雅各会众的产业。
Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
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。
He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6 愿吕便存活，不致死亡； 愿他人数不致稀少。
"Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few."
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。
This is for Judah. He said, "Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah. Bring him in to his people. With his hands he contended for himself. You shall be a help against his adversaries."
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。
Of Levi he said, "Give to Levi your Thummim and your Urim to your faithful one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you strove at the waters of Meribah;
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。
who said of his father, and of his mother, 'I have not seen him;' Neither did he acknowledge his brothers, Nor did he know his own children: For they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.
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。
They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.
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。
Jehovah, bless his substance. Accept the work of his hands. Strike the loins of those who rise against him, of those who hate him, that they not rise again."
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。
Of Benjamin he said, "The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by him. He covers him all the day long. He dwells between his shoulders."
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；
Of Joseph he said, "His land is blessed by Jehovah, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
14 得太阳所晒熟的美果， 月亮所养成的宝物；
with the choices fruits of the sun, and the bounteous yield of the months,
15 得上古之山的至宝， 永世之岭的宝物；
with the finest produce of the ancient mountains, and the abundance of the everlasting hills,
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。
with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, the good will of him who lived in the bush. Let this come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
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。
A firstborn bull, majesty is his. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he shall push all of the peoples, to the farthest parts of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh."

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。
They shall call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they shall draw out the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand."
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。
Of Gad he said, "He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.
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。
He provided the first part for himself, for there was the lawgiver's portion reserved. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of Jehovah, his ordinances with Israel."
22 论但说： 但为小狮子， 从巴珊跳出来。
Of Dan he said, "Dan is a lion's cub that leaps out of Bashan."
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。
Of Naphtali he said, "Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of the blessing of Jehovah, Possess the west and the south."

"There is none like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, In his majesty through the skies.
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。
The God of old is a dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, 'Destroy.'
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。
Israel dwells in safety; the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
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。
You are happy, Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency. Your enemies shall submit themselves to you. You shall tread on their high places."
