Deuteronomio 33

Now this is the blessing which Moses, the man of God, gave to the children of Israel before his death.
2 Y dijo: Jehová vino de Sinaí, y de Seir les esclareció: resplandeció desde el monte de Farán, y vino con diez mil santos: a su diestra la ley de fuego para ellos.
He said, The Lord came from Sinai, dawning on them from Seir; shining out from Mount Paran, coming from Meribath Kadesh: from his right hand went flames of fire: his wrath made waste the peoples.

And of Levi he said, Give your Thummim to Levi and let the Urim be with your loved one, whom you put to the test at Massah, with whom you were angry at the waters of Meribah;
9 El que dijo a su padre y a su madre: Nunca los ví: ni conoció a sus hermanos, ni conoció a sus hijos: por lo cual ellos guardarán tus dichos, y observarán tu concierto.
Who said of his father, Who is he? and of his mother, I have not seen her; he kept himself separate from his brothers and had no knowledge of his children: for they have given ear to your word and kept your agreement.
10 Ellos enseñarán tus juicios a Jacob, y tu ley a Israel: pondrán el perfume a tus narices, y el holocausto sobre tu altar.
They will be the teachers of your decisions to Jacob and of your law to Israel: the burning of perfumes before you will be their right, and the ordering of burned offerings on your altar.
11 Bendice oh Jehová lo que hicieren, y en la obra de sus manos toma contentamiento: hiere los lomos de sus enemigos, y de los que le aborrecieren, que nunca se levanten.

And the good things of the fruits of the sun, and the good things of the growth of the moons,
15 Y por la cumbre de los montes antiguos; y por los regalos, de los collados eternos.
And the chief things of the oldest mountains, and the good things of the eternal hills,
16 Y por los regalos de la tierra, y su plenitud: y la gracia del que habitó en la zarza venga sobre la cabeza de José, y sobre la mollera del apartado de sus hermanos.
The good things of the earth and all its wealth, the good pleasure of him who was seen in the burning tree: may they come on the head of Joseph, on the head of him who was prince among his brothers.
17 El es hermoso como el primogénito de su buey: y sus cuernos, cuernos de unicornio: con ellos acorneará los pueblos a una, hasta los fines de la tierra: y estos son los diez millares de Efraím: y estos los millares de Manasés.

The God of your fathers is your safe resting-place, and under you are his eternal arms: driving out the forces of your haters from before you, he said, Let destruction overtake them.
28 E Israel, la fuente de Jacob, habitará confiado solo en tierra de grano y de vino: también sus cielos destilarán rocío.
And Israel is living in peace, the fountain of Jacob by himself, in a land of grain and wine, with dew dropping from the heavens.
29 Bienaventurado tú Israel: ¿Quién como tú, pueblo salvo por Jehová, escudo de tu socorro, y espada de tu excelencia? Y tus enemigos serán humillados, y tú hollarás sobre sus alturas.
Happy are you, O Israel: who is like you, a people whose saviour is the Lord, whose help is your cover, whose sword is your strength! All those who are against you will put themselves under your rule, and your feet will be planted on their high places.
