Deteronòm 33
1 Men benediksyon Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a, te bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo anvan li mouri.
And this [is] the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 Li di: -Seyè a soti mòn Sinayi, li leve tankou solèy lòt bò peyi Seyi. L'ap klere depi sou tèt mòn Paran an. Li rive jouk Meriba nan peyi Kadès. Sou bò dwat li yon flanm dife.
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.
3 Seyè a renmen tout pèp sou latè. Men, li pwoteje tout moun k'ap viv apa pou li. Yo bese nan pye l'. Yo resevwa lòd l'ap ba yo.
And he spared his people, and all his sanctified ones [are] under thy hands; and they are under thee; and he received of his words
4 Moyiz ban nou lalwa. Se yon byen li kite pou tout fanmi Jakòb la.
the law which Moses charged us, an inheritance to the assemblies of Jacob.
5 Seyè a te wa nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la lè tout chèf pèp la te reyini, lè tout branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la te sanble.
And he shall be prince with the beloved one, when the princes of the people are gathered together with the tribes of Israel.
6 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Woubenn lan: Se pou Woubenn viv lontan! Fanmi li p'ap janm disparèt, malgre li pa gen anpil moun.
Let Ruben live, and not die; and let him be many in number.
7 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Jida a: Seyè, koute vwa moun fanmi Jida yo! Fè yo mete tèt yo ansanm ankò ak rès pèp la. Goumen pou yo, Seyè! Se pou ou ede yo lè y'ap batay ak lènmi l' yo.
And this [is the blessing] of Juda; Hear, Lord, the voice of Juda, and do thou visit his people: his hands shall contend for him, and thou shalt be a help from his enemies.
8 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Levi a: Seyè! Se ou menm ki pou fè yo konnen volonte ou. Y'ap sèvi ou san lage. Ou te sonde yo bò Masa. Ou te kenbe tèt ak yo bò sous dlo Meriba yo.
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.
9 Yo pa konn papa! Yo pa konn manman! Yo pa konn frè! Yo pa konn pitit! Se lòd ou yo y'ap swiv, se kontra ou la y'ap kenbe fèm.
Who says to his father and mother, I have not seen thee; and he knew not his brethren, and he refused to know his sons: he kept thine oracles, and observed thy covenant.
10 Y'a moutre pitit Jakòb yo regleman ou yo. Y'a moutre pitit Izrayèl yo lalwa ou la. Y'a boule lansan devan ou, y'a ofri sou lòtèl bèt yo touye pou boule nèt pou ou.
They shall declare thine ordinances to Jacob, and thy law to Israel: they shall place incense in [the time of] thy wrath continually upon thine altar.
11 Seyè, ba yo anpil kouraj! Se pou yo fè ou plezi nan tou sa y'ap fè! Kase ren moun ki pa vle wè yo. Se pou lènmi l' yo pa ka leve tèt ankò.
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.
12 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Benjamen an: Se moun Seyè a renmen anpil. Y'a viv ak kè poze bò kote l'. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la va toujou pwoteje yo, l'a moute kay li nan mitan yo.
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.
13 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Jozèf la: Se pou Seyè a beni peyi ki pou yo a. L'a voye bonkou lapli sot nan syèl la, l'a fè sous dlo pete toupatou.
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,
14 L'a fè pyebwa ki donnen chak lanne bay bon rekòt. L'a fè pyebwa ki donnen chak sezon bay bon fwi.
and of the fruits of the changes of the sun in season, and of the produce of the months,
15 L'a fè vye mòn yo bay bèl rekòt. L'a fè vye tè mòn yo bay pi bon manje ki genyen.
from the top of the ancient mountains, and from the top of the everlasting hills,
16 L'a fè tè yo a bay tout kalite bon rekòt. Bondye ki te pale nan touf raje a va ba yo favè l'. Se pou tout benediksyon sa yo tonbe sou tèt Jozèf, paske nan tout pitit papa li yo, se li menm yo te chwazi.
and of the fullness of the land in season: and let the things pleasing to him that dwelt in the bush come on the head of Joseph, and on the crown [of him who was] glorified above his brethren.
17 Li byen kanpe tankou premye pitit yon towo bèf. L'ap gen fòs kouraj yon bèf savann. L'ap bat tout pèp ki sou latè ak kout kòn, l'ap kouri dèyè yo jouk nan dènye bout latè. Wi, se sa tout milyon moun Efrayim yo ak tout kantite moun Manase yo pral fè.
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.
18 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Zabilon an ak branch fanmi Isaka a: Nou menm moun Zabilon yo, se pou trafik sou lanmè nou mache byen. Nou menm moun Isaka yo, se pou komès n'ap fè lakay nou mache byen tou.
And to Zabulon he said, Rejoice, Zabulon, in thy going out, and Issachar in his tents.
19 Yo rele tout moun lòt nasyon yo vin sou mòn lan. Se la y'a fè ofrann Bondye mande yo, paske yo fè tout lajan yo sou lanmè, nan komès yo fè sou lanmè ak nan trafik lakòt y'ap fè toupatou.
They shall utterly destroy the nations, and ye shall call [men] there, and there offer the sacrifice of righteousness; for the wealth of the sea shall suckle thee, and so shall the marts of them that dwell by the sea-coast.
20 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Gad la: Lwanj pou Bondye ki bay Gad anpil tè pou l' rete. Gad kouche tankou yon lyon k'ap veye, pou l' dechire yon bra, yon tèt, yon figi.
And to Gad he said, Blessed [be] he that enlarges Gad: as a lion he rested, having broken the arm and the ruler.
21 Yo pran pi bon venn tè a pou yo. Se pòsyon tè ki toujou vin pou chèf. Se yo k'ap mache devan pèp la. Yo fè tou sa Seyè a te mande, yo swiv tout regleman Seyè a te bay pèp Izrayèl la.
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.
22 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Dann lan: Dann se yon jenn ti lyon k'ap kouri soti peyi Bazan.
And to Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion's whelp, and shall leap out of Basan.
23 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Neftali a: Neftali resevwa kont benediksyon l'. Seyè a fè l' anpil anpil favè. Pòsyon tè yo ap soti bò letan an, l'ap desann jouk nan pwent sid peyi a.
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.
24 Men sa li di pou branch fanmi Asè a: Nan tout pitit Jakòb yo, benediksyon pou Asè! Tout frè li yo ap renmen l'. Se pou tè li yo rich ak pye oliv.
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.
25 Se pou pòtay lavil li yo fèt an fè ak an asye, pou li ka toujou viv ak kè poze.
His sandal shall be iron and brass; as thy days, so [shall be] thy strength.
26 Pa gen tankou Bondye moun pèp Izrayèl la. Li kouri sou nwaj yo nan syèl la pou l' vin pote yo sekou avèk fòs ponyèt li.
There is not [any such] as the God of the beloved; he who rides upon the heaven [is] thy helper, and the magnificent One of the firmament.
27 Bondye ki la pou tout tan an ap pwoteje nou. L'ap pran dèfans nou ak pouvwa li ki p'ap janm fini. L'ap fè lènmi nou yo kouri met deyò devan nou, l'ap ban nou lòd pou nou detwi yo nèt.
And the rule of God shall protect thee, and [that] under the strength of the everlasting arms; and he shall cast forth the enemy from before thy face, saying, Perish.
28 Pèp Izrayèl la ap viv ak kè poze. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo p'ap viv tankou lòt nasyon yo. Y'ap viv nan yon peyi k'ap bay anpil farin ak diven, nan yon peyi kote ki p'ap janm manke lapli.
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 thee.
29 Ala bon sa bon pou nou, moun pèp Izrayèl! Pa gen tankou nou! Se Seyè a menm ki delivrans nou! Se li ki pwoteksyon nou! Se li ki defans nou! L'ap mache devan nou pou l' fè nou genyen batay la. Lènmi nou yo va vin mande padon nan pye nou. Men nou menm, n'a kraze sa ki fè lògèy yo a anba pye nou.
Blessed [art] thou, O Israel; who [is] like to thee, O people saved by the Lord? thy helper shall hold his shield over thee, and [his] sword [is] thy boast; and thine enemies shall speak falsely to thee, and thou shalt tread upon their neck.
