Deuteronomy 33

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

Eyi ne nhyira a Onyankopɔn nipa Mose de hyiraa Israelfo no ansa na ɔrewu:

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.

Ose, “Awurade fi Sinai bae ofi Seir baa wɔn so; ɔhran fi Paran bepɔw so. Ɔde akronkronfo pii bae fi anafo fam ne mmepɔw nsian so.

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

Nokware ni, wo na wodɔ nnipa no, akronkronfo nyinaa wɔ wo nsam. Wɔn nyinaa kotow wo nan ase, na wonya nkyerɛkyerɛ fi wo hɔ,

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

mmara a Mose de maa yɛn no; Yakob nkurɔfo agyapade.

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

Ɔyɛɛ ɔhene wɔ Yeshurun bere a nnipa no ntuanofo hyiae, wɔne Israel mmusuakuw no.

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

“Ma Ruben nya nkwa na onwu, na mma ne nkurɔfo so nhuan.”

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.

Na ɔkaa eyi faa Yuda ho: “Tie, Awurade, tie Yuda sufrɛ; fa no brɛ ne nkurɔfo. Ɔde nʼankasa nsa bɔ ne ho ban. Ao, yɛ ne boafo tia nʼatamfo!”

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.

Asɛm a ɔka faa Lewi abusuakuw ho: “Awurade, wode ade kronkron ama wʼasomfo nokwafo Lewifo. Wosɔɔ wɔn hwɛe wɔ Masa wɔne wɔn koe wɔ Meriba asu ho.

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.

Lewifo tiee wʼasɛm bɔɔ wʼapam no ho ban. Wodii wo nokware sen sɛnea wodii wɔn awofo, abusuafo ne wɔn mma nokware.

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.

Afei, ma wɔnkyerɛ Yakob wo mmara no. Ma wɔmfa wo nkyerɛkyerɛ no mma Israelfo. Wɔde aduhuam bɛba wʼanim Abɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ afɔremuka so.

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.

Hyira Lewifo, Ao Awurade na ma wɔn nsa ano nnwuma nsɔ wʼani. Bubu wɔn atamfo; bɔ wɔn atamfo hwe fam a wɔnsɔre bio.”

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.

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Benyamin abusuakuw ho: “Ma Awurade dɔ nnye ntin wɔ Benyamin nkurɔfo mu, efisɛ ɔbɔ wɔn ho ban daa nyinaa, na nea Awurade dɔ no no nhome wɔ ne nwini ase daa.”

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,

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Yosef mmusuakuw ho: “Awurade mfa ne sorosoro bosu a ɛsom bo ne bun mu nsu a efi asase ase no, nhyira wɔn nsase.

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

Ɔmfa ne nnepa efi owia mu ba ne adonne a ebetumi apue afi ɔsram so;

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

ne nnɔbae pa a efi tete mmepɔw mu ne nea abu so wɔ nkoko a etim hɔ daa mu

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.

ne akyɛde a ɛso nni a efi asase ne ne mayɛ mu, ne adom a efi nea na ɔte nwura a ɛhyew mu no. Saa nhyira yi nyinaa mmra Yosef ti so, nea ɔyɛ ne nuanom mu ɔheneba no anintɔn mu.

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.

Yosef sɛ nantwinini a ɔyɛ abakan wɔ ahenni mu. Ne ahoɔden te sɛ ɔtrɔm mmɛn. Ɔde bɛwowɔ aman no, wɔn a wɔwɔ asase ano no mpo. Eyinom ne Efraim mpem du du no; eyinom ne Manase mpempem no.”

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

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Sebulon ne Isakar mmusuakuw ho: “Sebulon asefo, munni anigye wɔ mo adifi mu. Isakar asefo, munni anigye wɔ mo ntamadan mu.

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.

Wɔbɛfrɛ nnipa ahorow akɔ bepɔw no so kɔbɔ trenee afɔre wɔ hɔ; wobefi po mu adenya mmoroso mu ato pon afi ademude a ahintaw wɔ nwea mu.”

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

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Gad abusuakuw ho: “Nhyira nka obi a ɔtrɛw Gad mantam mu! Gad te hɔ sɛ gyata a ɔretetew abasa anaa eti.

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 judgment with Israel.

Gad nkurɔfo paw asase pa no maa wɔn ho; ɔkannifo kyɛfa na wɔde maa wɔn. Bere a nkurɔfo no mpanyimfo hyiae no, wɔyɛɛ Awurade atɛntrenee apɛde no, ne nʼatemmu a ɛfa Israelfo ho no.”

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

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Dan abusuakuw ho: “Dan yɛ gyata ba a, ɔrepue afi Basan.”

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.

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Naftali abusuakuw ho: “Naftali wɔ adom bebree na Awurade nhyira ayɛ wo ma; ɔtare no anafo fam bɛyɛ wo kyɛfa.”

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.

Asɛm a Mose ka faa Aser abusuakuw ho: “Mma no mu nea wɔahyira no koraa ne Aser; wɔmma ne nuanom mpɛ nʼasɛm, na ɔmfa ngo nguare nʼanan ase.

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

Wʼapon ho nkyerewa nyɛ dade ne kɔbere mfrafrae; wʼahoɔden ne wo nkwanna bɛsae so.

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.

“Onyankopɔn biara nni hɔ sɛ Yeshurun Nyankopɔn; a ɔnam ɔsorosoro ne nʼahenni mu mununkum so ba bɛboa wo.

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.

Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ hɔ daa yɛ wo guankɔbea; nea ɛwɔ ase no ne abasa a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no. Ɔbɛpam wʼatamfo afi wʼanim; ɔbɛka se, ‘Sɛe wɔn!’

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.

Enti, Israel bɛtena ase dwoodwoo; Yakob benya bammɔ wɔ asase a atoko ne nsa foforo wɔ so, faako a ɔsoro bosu gugu.

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.

Nhyira nka mo, Israel! Hena na ɔte sɛ mo, nnipa a Awurade agye mo nkwa. Ɔyɛ mo nkatabo ne boafo ne mo anuonyam afoa! Mo atamfo bɛkotow mo anim, na moatiatia wɔn sorɔnsorɔmmea.”
