Deuteronomy 33
1 Nowe this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death, and said,
以下是神人摩西在未死之先為以色列人所祝的福：
2 The Lord came from Sinai, and rose vp from Seir vnto them, and appeared clearely from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of Saints, and at his right hand a firie Lawe for them.
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 Though hee loue the people, yet all thy Saints are in thine handes: and they are humbled at thy foete, to receiue thy words.
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 Moses commanded vs a Lawe for an inheritance of the Congregation of Iaakob.
摩西將律法傳給我們， 作為雅各會眾的產業。
5 Then he was among the righteous people, as King, when the heades of the people, and the tribes of Israel were assembled.
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 Let Reuben liue, and not die, though his men be a small nomber.
願呂便存活，不致死亡； 願他人數不致稀少。
7 And thus he blessed Iudah, and said, Heare, O Lord, the voyce of Iudah, and bring him vnto his people: his hands shalbe sufficient for him, if thou helpe him against his enemies.
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 And of Leui he said, Let thy Thummim and thine Vrim be with thine Holy one, whome thou diddest proue in Massah, and didst cause him to striue at the waters of Meribah.
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 Who said vnto his father and to his mother, I haue not seene him, neither knewe he his brethren, nor knewe his owne children: for they obserued thy word, and kept thy couenant.
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 They shall teach Iaakob thy iudgements, and Israel thy Lawe: they shall put incense before thy face, and the burnt offring vpon thine altar.
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 Blesse, O Lord, his substance, and accept the worke of his handes: smite through ye loynes of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not againe.
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 Of Beniamin he said, The beloued of the Lord shall dwell in safetie by him: the Lord shall couer him all the day long, and dwell betweene his shoulders.
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 And of Ioseph hee sayde, Blessed of the Lord is his land for the sweetenesse of heauen, for the dewe, and for the depth lying beneath,
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 And for the sweete increase of the sunne, and for the sweete increase of the moone,
得太陽所曬熟的美果， 月亮所養成的寶物；
15 And for the sweetenes of the top of the ancient mountaines, and for the sweetenes of the olde hilles,
得上古之山的至寶， 永世之嶺的寶物；
16 And for the sweetenesse of the earth, and abundance thereof: and the good will of him that dwelt in the bushe, shall come vpon the head of Ioseph, and vpon the toppe of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
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 His beautie shalbe like his first borne bullock, and his hornes as the hornes of an vnicorne: with them hee shall smite the people together, euen the endes of the world: these are also the ten thousands of Ephraim, and these are the thousands of Manasseh.
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 of Zebulun he sayd, Reioice, Zebulun, in thy going out, and thou Isshachar in thy tents.
論西布倫說： 西布倫哪，你出外可以歡喜。 以薩迦啊，在你帳棚裏可以快樂。
19 They shall call ye people vnto the mountaine: there they shall offer the sacrifices of righteousnesse: for they shall sucke of the abundance of the sea, and of the treasures hid in the sand.
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 Also of Gad he said, Blessed be hee that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, that catcheth for his praye the arme with the head.
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 hee looked to himselfe at the beginning, because there was a portion of the Lawe-giuer hid: yet hee shall come with the heades of the people, to execute the iustice of the Lord, and his iudgements 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。
22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lions whelp: he shall leape from Bashan.

論亞設說： 願亞設享受多子的福樂， 得他弟兄的喜悅， 可以把腳蘸在油中。
25 Thy shooes shalbe yron and brasse, and thy strength shall continue as long as thou liuest.
你的門閂是銅的，鐵的。 你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。
26 There is none like God, O righteous people, which rideth vpon the heauens for thine helpe, and on the cloudes in his glory.
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 The eternall God is thy refuge, and vnder his armes thou art for euer: hee shall cast out the enemie before thee, and will say, Destroy them.
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 Then Israel the fountaine of Iaakob shall dwell alone in safetie in a lande of wheat, and wine: also his heauens shall drop the dewe.
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, O Israel: who is like vnto thee, O people saued by the Lord, the shielde of thine helpe, and which is the sword of thy glorie? therefore thine enemies shall bee in subiection to thee, and thou shalt tread vpon their hie places.
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。
