Deuteronomy 33

1 And this [is] the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

神の人モーセその死る前にイスラエルの子孫を祝せりその祝せし言は是のごとし云く

2 And he said, The Lord is come from Sina, and has appeared from Seir to us, and has hasted out of the mount of Pharan, with the ten thousands of Cades; on his right hand [were] his angels with him.

ヱホバ、シナイより來りセイルより彼らにむかひて昇りバランの山より光明を發ちて出で千萬の聖者の中間よりして格りたまへりその右の手には輝やける火ありき

3 And he spared his people, and all his sanctified ones [are] under your hands; and they are under you; and he received of his words

ヱホバは民を愛したまふ其聖者は皆その手にあり皆その足下に坐りその言によりて起あがる

4 the law which Moses charged us, an inheritance to the assemblies of Jacob.

モーセわれらに律法を命ぜり是はヤコブの會衆の產業たり

5 And he shall be prince with the beloved one, when the princes of the people are gathered together with the tribes of Israel.

民の首領等イスラエルの諸の支派あひ集れる時に彼はヱシユルンの中に王たりき

6 Let Ruben live, and not die; and let him be many in number.

ルベンは生ん死はせじ然どその人數は寡少ならん

7 And this [is the blessing] of Juda; Hear, Lord, the voice of Juda, and do you visit his people: his hands shall contend for him, and you shall be a help from his enemies.

ユダにつきては斯いふヱホバよユダの聲を聽きこれをその民に引かへしたまへ彼はその手をもて己のために戰はん願くは汝これを助けてその敵にあたらしめたまへ

8 And to Levi he said, Give to Levi his manifestations, and his truth to the holy man, whom they tempted in the temptation; they reviled him at the water of strife.

レビについては言ふ汝のトンミムとウリムは汝の聖人に歸す汝かつてマツサにて彼を試みメリバの水の邊にてかれと爭へり

9 Who says to his father and mother, I have not seen you; and he knew not his brethren, and he refused to know his sons: he kept your oracles, and observed your covenant.

彼はその父またはその母につきて言り我はこれを見ずと又彼は自己の兄弟を認ずまた自己の子等を顧みざりき是はなんぢの言に遵がひ汝の契約を守りてなり

10 They shall declare your ordinances to Jacob, and your law to Israel: they shall place incense in [the time of] your wrath continually upon your altar.

彼らは汝の式例をヤコブに敎へ汝の律法をイスラエルに敎へ又香を汝の鼻の前にそなへ燔祭を汝の壇の上にささぐ

11 Bless, Lord, his strength, and accept the works of his hands; break the loins of his enemies that have risen up against him, and let not them that hate him rise up.

ヱホバよ彼の所有を祝し彼が手の作爲を悦こびて納れたまへ又起てこれに逆らふ者とこれを惡む者との腰を摧きて復起あがることあたはざらしめたまへ

12 And to Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in confidence, and God overshadows him always, and he rested between his shoulders.

ベニヤミンについては言ふヱホバの愛する者安然にヱホバとともにあり日々にその庇護をかうむりてその肩の間に居ん

13 And to Joseph he said, His land [is] of the blessing of the Lord, of the seasons of sky and dew, and of the deeps of wells below,

ヨセフについては言ふ願くはその地ヱホバの祝福をかうむらんことを即ち天の寶物なる露淵の底なる水

14 and of the fruits of the changes of the sun in season, and of the produce of the months,

日によりて產する寶物月によりて生ずる寶物

15 from the top of the ancient mountains, and from the top of the everlasting hills,

古山の嶺の寶物老嶽の寶物

16 and of the fullness of the land in season: and let the things pleasing to him that lived in the bush come on the head of Joseph, and on the crown [of him who was] glorified above his brethren.

地の寶物地の中の產物および柴の中に居たまひし者の恩惠などヨセフの首に臨みその兄弟と別になりたる者の頂に降らん

17 His beauty [is as] the firstling of his bull, his horns [are] the horns of a unicorn; with them he shall thrust the nations at once, even from the end of the earth: these [are] the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these [are] the thousands of Manasse.

彼の牛の首出はその身に榮光ありてその角は兕の角のごとく之をもて國々の民を衝たふして直に地の四方の極にまで至る是はエフライムの萬々是はマナセの千々なり

18 And to Zabulon he said, Rejoice, Zabulon, in your going out, and Issachar in his tents.

ゼブルンについては言ふゼブルンよ汝は外に出て快樂を得よイツサカルよ汝は家に居て快樂を得よ

19 They shall utterly destroy the nations, and you shall call [men] there, and there offer the sacrifice of righteousness; for the wealth of the sea shall suckle you, and so shall the marts of them that dwell by the sea-coast.

彼らは國々の民を山に招き其處にて義の犠牲を献げん又海の中に盈る物を得て食ひ沙の中に蔵れたる物を得て食はん

20 And to Gad he said, Blessed [be] he that enlarges Gad: as a lion he rested, having broken the arm and the ruler.

ガドについては言ふガドをして大ならしむる者は讃べき哉ガドは獅子のごとくに伏し腕と首の頂とを掻裂ん

21 And he saw his first fruits, that there the land of the princes gathered with the chiefs of the people was divided; the Lord wrought righteousness, and his judgement with Israel.

彼は初穂の地を自己のために選べり其處には大將の分もこもれり彼は民の首領等とともに至りイスラエルとともにヱホバの公義と審判とをなこなへり

22 And to Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion's whelp, and shall leap out of Basan.

ダンについては言ふダンは小獅子のごとくバシヤンより跳り出づ

23 And to Nephthali he said, Nephthali [has] the fulness of good things; and let him be filled with blessing from the Lord: he shall inherit the west and the south.

ナフタリについては言ふナフタリよ汝は大に福祉をかうむりヱホバの恩惠にうるほふて西と南の部を獲ん

24 And to Aser he said, Aser [is] blessed with children; and he shall be acceptable to his brethren: he shall dip his foot in oil.

アセルについては言ふアセルは他の子等よりも幸福なりまた其兄弟等にこえて惠まれその足を膏の中に浸さん

25 His sandal shall be iron and brass; as your days, so [shall be] your strength.

汝の門閂は鐵のごとく銅のごとし汝の能力は汝が日々に需むるところに循はん

26 There is not [any such] as the God of the beloved; he who rides upon the heaven [is] your helper, and the magnificent One of the firmament.

ヱシユルンよ全能の神のごとき者は外に無し是は天に乗て汝を助け雲に駕てその威光をあらはしたまふ

27 And the rule of God shall protect you, and [that] under the strength of the everlasting arms; and he shall cast forth the enemy from before your face, saying, Perish.

永久に在す神は住所なり下には永遠の腕あり敵人を汝の前より驅はらひて言たまふ滅ぼせよと

28 And Israel shall dwell in confidence alone on the land of Jacob, with corn and wine; and the sky [shall be] misty with dew upon you.

イスラエルは安然に住をりヤコブの泉は穀と酒との多き地に獨り在らんその天はまた露をこれに降すべし

29 Blessed [are] you, O Israel; who [is] like to you, O people saved by the Lord? your helper shall hold his shield over you, and [his] sword [is] your boast; and your enemies shall speak falsely to you, and you shall tread upon their neck.

イスラエルよ汝は幸福なり誰か汝のごとくヱホバに救はれし民たらんヱホバは汝を護る楯汝の榮光の劍なり汝の敵は汝に諂ひ服せん汝はかれらの高處を踐ん
