申命记 33
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
摩西祝福以色列各支派
33 这是神人摩西，在死前给以色列人所祝的福。 2 他说：
“耶和华从西奈而来，
从西珥光照他们，
从巴兰山射出光辉，
在千万圣者中来临，
在他的右手有烈火的律法。
3 他实在爱人民，
他的众圣者都在你的手里；
他们坐在你的脚前，
各自领受你的话。
4 摩西把律法吩咐我们，
作为雅各会众的基业。
5 人民的众首领，以色列的各支派，
一同会合的时候，
耶和华就在耶书仑作王了。
6 愿流本生存，不致死亡，
愿他的人数不致稀少。”
7 论到犹大，他这样说：
“耶和华啊，求你垂听犹大的声音，
领他归回自己的族人那里；
他曾用手为自己奋斗，
愿你帮助他抵挡仇敌。”
8 论到利未，他说：
“耶和华啊，愿你的土明和乌陵属于对你忠心的人（原文无“耶和华啊”，但因为代名词“你”是指耶和华而不是利未，所以按文理补上，以免误导），
就是你在玛撒试验过的，
在米利巴水边与他们争论过的。
9 利未人论到自己的父母说：‘我没有看顾他们’；
他不承认自己的兄弟，
也不认识自己的儿女；
因为他们谨守你的话，持守你的约。
10 他们要把你的典章教训雅各，
把你的律法教训以色列；
他们要把香焚在你面前，
把全牲的燔祭献在你的祭坛上。
11 耶和华啊，求你赐福他的能力，
悦纳他手中的作为；
那些起来攻击他和恨他的人，愿你刺透他们的腰，
使他们不能再起来。”
12 论到便雅悯，他说：
“耶和华所爱的，必在耶和华身边安然居住；
耶和华终日庇护他，
也必住在他的两肩之间。”
13 论到约瑟，他说：
“愿他的地蒙耶和华赐福，
得着从天上而来的上好甘露，
以及蕴藏在地里的泉水；
14 得着从太阳而来的上好之物，
每月所产的佳果；
15 得着从太古之山而来的上品，
从永远之岭而来的上好之物；
16 得着从地所出的上好之物，和其中所充满的；
得着那住在荆棘中的耶和华的恩宠；
愿这些都临到约瑟的头上，
就是临到那在兄弟中作王子的人的头上。
17 他头生的公牛大有威严；
他的两角是野牛的角，
用来抵触万民，
直到地极；
这角是以法莲的万万，
那角是玛拿西的千千。”
18 论到西布伦，他说：
“西布伦啊，你出外的时候，要喜乐；
以萨迦啊，你在帐棚里的时候，也要喜乐。
19 他们要把万民召到山上来，
在那里要献上公义的祭；
因为他们要吸取海洋的丰富，
沙土中埋藏着的宝藏。”
20 论到迦得，他说：
“那使迦得扩张的，是应该称颂的，
迦得蹲下如母狮，
他撕裂膀臂，连头顶也撕裂。
21 他为自己选择了头一份，
因为在那里有指挥者的分存留着；
他与人民的众首领一同来，
他施行耶和华的公义，
以及与以色列有关的典章。”
22 论到但，他说：
“但是只幼狮，
从巴珊跳出来。”
23 论到拿弗他利，他说：
“拿弗他利啊，你饱受恩宠，
满得耶和华的福，
可以取得西方和南方为业。”
24 论到亚设，他说：
“愿亚设蒙福，胜过众子，
愿他得兄弟的喜悦；
愿他把脚蘸在油中。
25 你的门闩是铜的，是铁的，
你的日子怎样，你的力量也必怎样。
26 没有人像耶书仑的 神，
为了帮助你，他乘驾诸天，
在他的威严中，他腾空行云。
27 亘古的 神是你的居所；
他永久的膀臂在你以下。
他把仇敌从你面前赶出去，
他发令说：‘毁灭吧！’
28 所以以色列可以安然居住，
雅各的本源，
独处在产五谷新酒之地；
他的天也滴下甘露。
29 以色列啊，你是有福的；
有谁像你呢？
你这蒙耶和华拯救的子民，
他是帮助你的盾牌，
他是你威严的刀剑。
你的仇敌必向你屈服；
你必践踏他们的背脊。”
Deuteronomy 33
English Standard Version
Moses' Final Blessing on Israel
33 This is the blessing with which Moses (A)the man of God blessed the people of Israel before his death. 2 He said,
(B)“The Lord came from Sinai
and dawned from Seir upon us;[a]
he shone forth from Mount Paran;
he came (C)from the ten thousands of holy ones,
with flaming fire[b] at his right hand.
3 Yes, (D)he loved his people,[c]
(E)all his holy ones were in his[d] hand;
(F)so they followed[e] in your steps,
receiving direction from you,
4 when (G)Moses commanded us a law,
as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.
5 Thus the Lord[f] (H)became king in (I)Jeshurun,
when the heads of the people were gathered,
all the tribes of Israel together.
6 (J)“Let Reuben live, and not die,
but let his men be few.”
7 And this he said of Judah:
“Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah,
and bring him in to his people.
With your hands contend[g] for him,
and be a help against his adversaries.”
8 And (K)of Levi he said,
“Give to Levi[h] (L)your Thummim,
and your Urim to your godly one,
(M)whom you tested at Massah,
with whom you quarreled at the waters of Meribah;
9 who said of his father and mother,
‘I regard them not’;
(N)he disowned his brothers
and ignored his children.
For (O)they observed your word
and kept your covenant.
10 (P)They shall teach Jacob your rules
and Israel your law;
(Q)they shall put incense before you
and (R)whole burnt offerings on your altar.
11 Bless, O Lord, his substance,
and (S)accept the work of his hands;
crush the loins of his adversaries,
of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”
12 (T)Of Benjamin he said,
“The beloved of the Lord dwells in safety.
The High God[i] surrounds him all day long,
and dwells between his shoulders.”
13 And (U)of Joseph he said,
(V)“Blessed by the Lord be his land,
with the choicest gifts of heaven (W)above,[j]
and of the deep that crouches beneath,
14 with the choicest fruits of the sun
and the rich yield of the months,
15 with the finest produce of the ancient mountains
and the abundance of (X)the everlasting hills,
16 with the best gifts of the earth and (Y)its fullness
and the favor of (Z)him who dwells in the bush.
May these rest on the head of Joseph,
on the pate of him who is prince among his brothers.
17 (AA)A firstborn bull[k]—he has majesty,
and his horns are the horns of a (AB)wild ox;
with them (AC)he shall gore the peoples,
all of them, to the ends of the earth;
(AD)they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 And of Zebulun he said,
(AE)“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
and Issachar, in your tents.
19 They shall call peoples (AF)to their mountain;
there they offer (AG)right sacrifices;
for they draw from the abundance of the seas
and the hidden treasures of the sand.”
20 And (AH)of Gad he said,
“Blessed be he who enlarges Gad!
Gad crouches (AI)like a lion;
he tears off arm and scalp.
21 (AJ)He chose the best of the land for himself,
for there a commander's portion was reserved;
and (AK)he came with the heads of the people,
with Israel he executed the justice of the Lord,
and his judgments for Israel.”
22 And (AL)of Dan he said,
23 And (AO)of Naphtali he said,
“O Naphtali, sated with favor,
and full of the blessing of the Lord,
(AP)possess the lake[l] and the south.”
24 And (AQ)of Asher he said,
“Most blessed of sons be Asher;
let him be the favorite of his brothers,
and let him (AR)dip his foot in oil.
25 Your bars shall be iron and bronze,
and as your days, so shall your strength be.
26 (AS)“There is none like God, O (AT)Jeshurun,
(AU)who rides through the heavens to your help,
through the skies in his majesty.
27 The eternal God is your (AV)dwelling place,[m]
and underneath are the everlasting arms.[n]
And he thrust out the enemy before you
and said, ‘Destroy.’
28 So Israel lived in safety,
(AW)Jacob lived (AX)alone,[o]
in a land of grain and wine,
whose heavens drop down dew.
29 Happy are you, O Israel! (AY)Who is like you,
a people (AZ)saved by the Lord,
(BA)the shield of your help,
and the sword of your triumph!
Your enemies shall come fawning to you,
and you shall tread upon their backs.”

The last words of Moses
33 Before his death, God's servant Moses spoke this blessing to all the Israelites. 2 He said this:
‘The Lord came from Sinai.
He appeared to his people
like the sun that rises over the hills of Edom.
He shone on his people from Mount Paran.
Thousands of angels came with him.
In his right hand, he held his Law that burned with fire.
3 Yes, the Lord loves his people.
He takes care of all his holy people.
They sit near to him and they listen to his teaching.
4 Moses gave us the Lord's teaching.
It is very valuable to us, the descendants of Jacob.
5 When the leaders of the people and all the tribes met together,
the Lord became king of Israel.[a]
6 I pray this for the tribe of Reuben:
May they continue to live and have many descendants.
7 I pray this for the tribe of Judah:
Lord, please listen to their prayers for help.
May they join again with the other tribes.
Please make them strong,
so that they can fight against their enemies.
8 I pray this for the tribe of Levi:
Lord, your Urim and Thummim belong to your faithful servants, the Levites.
You tested them at Massah.
You argued with them at the springs of water at Meribah.[b]
9 The Levites left their own families
so that they could serve you well.
They obeyed your word.
They were faithful to your covenant.
10 They teach your rules and your laws to Jacob's descendants, the Israelites.
They offer incense to you, as a sweet smell.
They burn offerings on your altar.
11 Lord, please bless their work.
May everything that they do give you pleasure.
Knock down anyone who attacks them.
Destroy all their enemies completely.
12 I pray this for the tribe of Benjamin:
The Lord loves the tribe of Benjamin.
They will live with him and they will be safe.
The Lord protects them all the time.
He keeps them near to him.
13 I pray this for the tribe of Joseph:
Lord, please bless their land.
Send rain from the sky above,
and springs of water from under the ground.
14 May the sun give them a good harvest of food,
with the best crops every month.
15 May they have a harvest of good fruits
from the mountains and hills that have been there since long ago.
16 Please fill their land with many good things.
Lord who appeared in the burning bush,
please be kind to them.
Please bless Joseph's descendants.
He became a leader, separate from his brothers.
May this blessing be like a crown on his head!
17 Joseph is as strong as a bull.
He has horns like a wild ox.
Those two horns are the armies of Ephraim and Manasseh![c]
With them, he attacks other nations.
He chases them to the edges of the world.
18 I pray this for the tribes of Zebulun and Issachar:
Be happy, Zebulun's people, as you travel far from home.
Be happy, Issachar's people, as you live in your homes.
19 They will call other people to come to their mountain.
They will offer the right sacrifices there.
They will become rich from their work on the seas,
and from things that are hidden in the sand on the shore.
20 I pray this for the tribe of Gad:
Praise the Lord, who will give more land to Gad's people!
Gad lives there like a hungry lion.
He will tear off the arm or the head of his enemies.
21 He has chosen the best part of the land for himself.
When Israel's leaders met together,
Gad's tribe received the land that a leader deserves.
Gad's people obeyed the Lord's good laws.
They obeyed the Lord's commands for Israel.
22 I pray this for the tribe of Dan:
Dan's tribe is like a young lion.
They jump out from Bashan to attack their enemies.
23 I pray this for the tribe of Naphtali:
The Lord has blessed Naphtali's tribe very much.
He has been very kind to them.
Land in the west and in the south will belong to them.
24 I pray this for the tribe of Asher:
May the Lord bless Asher's tribe more than the other tribes.
May their brothers be pleased with them.
May Asher's people be rich enough to wash their feet in olive oil.
25 They will use iron and bronze to make the gates of their towns strong.
May they be strong for as long as they live.
26 Israelites, there is no god like your God.[d]
He rides across the sky to help you.
He travels with great authority on the clouds.
27 He is the God who lives for ever.
He is the safe place where you can hide.
His strong arms are always there, to hold you safely.
He will chase away your enemies as you attack them.
He says to you, “Destroy them!”
28 So Israel's people can now live safely.
Jacob's descendants have a safe place to live.
They have a land that will give them grain and wine.
Rain falls from the sky to make the ground wet.
29 Israelites, how happy you are!
There is no other nation like you.
The Lord himself has rescued you.
He is the one who keeps you safe, like a soldier's shield.
He is like a sword that you use to win against your enemies.
Your enemies will fall down with fear in front of you.
You will walk all over them.’
