申 命 記 33
Chinese Union Version (Simplified)
33 以 下 是 神 人 摩 西 在 未 死 之 先 为 以 色 列 人 所 祝 的 福 ：
2 他 说 ： 耶 和 华 从 西 乃 而 来 ， 从 西 珥 向 他 们 显 现 ， 从 巴 兰 山 发 出 光 辉 ， 从 万 万 圣 者 中 来 临 ， 从 他 右 手 为 百 姓 传 出 烈 火 的 律 法 。
3 他 疼 爱 百 姓 ； 众 圣 徒 都 在 他 手 中 。 他 们 坐 在 他 的 脚 下 ， 领 受 他 的 言 语 。
4 摩 西 将 律 法 传 给 我 们 ， 作 为 雅 各 会 众 的 产 业 。
5 百 姓 的 众 首 领 ， 以 色 列 的 各 支 派 ， 一 同 聚 会 的 时 候 ， 耶 和 华 （ 原 文 作 他 ） 在 耶 书 仑 中 为 王 。
6 愿 流 便 存 活 ， 不 至 死 亡 ； 愿 他 人 数 不 致 稀 少 。
7 为 犹 大 祝 福 说 ： 求 耶 和 华 俯 听 犹 大 的 声 音 ， 引 导 他 归 於 本 族 ； 他 曾 用 手 为 自 己 争 战 ， 你 必 帮 助 他 攻 击 敌 人 。
8 论 利 未 说 ： 耶 和 华 阿 ， 你 的 土 明 和 乌 陵 都 在 你 的 虔 诚 人 那 里 。 你 在 玛 撒 曾 试 验 他 ， 在 米 利 巴 水 与 他 争 论 。
9 他 论 自 己 的 父 母 说 ： 我 未 曾 看 见 ； 他 也 不 承 认 弟 兄 ， 也 不 认 识 自 己 的 儿 女 。 这 是 因 利 未 人 遵 行 你 的 话 ， 谨 守 你 的 约 。
10 他 们 要 将 你 的 典 章 教 训 雅 各 ， 将 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 坛 上 。
11 求 耶 和 华 降 福 在 他 的 财 物 上 ， 悦 纳 他 手 里 所 办 的 事 。 那 些 起 来 攻 击 他 和 恨 恶 他 的 人 ， 愿 你 刺 透 他 们 的 腰 ， 使 他 们 不 得 再 起 来 。
12 论 便 雅 悯 说 ： 耶 和 华 所 亲 爱 的 必 同 耶 和 华 安 然 居 住 ； 耶 和 华 终 日 遮 蔽 他 ， 也 住 在 他 两 肩 之 中 。
13 论 约 瑟 说 ： 愿 他 的 地 蒙 耶 和 华 赐 福 ， 得 天 上 的 宝 物 、 甘 露 ， 以 及 地 里 所 藏 的 泉 水 ；
14 得 太 阳 所 晒 熟 的 美 果 ， 月 亮 所 养 成 的 宝 物 ；
15 得 上 古 之 山 的 至 宝 ， 永 世 之 岭 的 宝 物 ；
16 得 地 和 其 中 所 充 满 的 宝 物 ， 并 住 荆 棘 中 上 主 的 喜 悦 。 愿 这 些 福 都 归 於 约 瑟 的 头 上 ， 归 於 那 与 弟 兄 迥 别 之 人 的 顶 上 。
17 他 为 牛 群 中 头 生 的 ， 有 威 严 ； 他 的 角 是 野 牛 的 角 ， 用 以 ? 触 万 邦 ， 直 到 地 极 。 这 角 是 以 法 莲 的 万 万 ， 玛 拿 西 的 千 千 。
18 论 西 布 伦 说 ： 西 布 伦 哪 ， 你 出 外 可 以 欢 喜 。 以 萨 迦 阿 ， 在 你 帐 棚 里 可 以 快 乐 。
19 他 们 要 将 列 邦 召 到 山 上 ， 在 那 里 献 公 义 的 祭 ； 因 为 他 们 要 吸 取 海 里 的 丰 富 ， 并 沙 中 所 藏 的 珍 宝 。
20 论 迦 得 说 ： 使 迦 得 扩 张 的 应 当 称 颂 ！ 迦 得 住 如 母 狮 ； 他 撕 裂 膀 臂 ， 连 头 顶 也 撕 裂 。
21 他 为 自 己 选 择 头 一 段 地 ， 因 在 那 里 有 设 立 律 法 者 的 分 存 留 。 他 与 百 姓 的 首 领 同 来 ； 他 施 行 耶 和 华 的 公 义 和 耶 和 华 与 以 色 列 所 立 的 典 章 。
22 论 但 说 ： 但 为 小 狮 子 ， 从 巴 珊 跳 出 来 。
23 论 拿 弗 他 利 说 ： 拿 弗 他 利 阿 ， 你 足 沾 恩 惠 ， 满 得 耶 和 华 的 福 ， 可 以 得 西 方 和 南 方 为 业 。
24 论 亚 设 说 ： 愿 亚 设 享 受 多 子 的 福 乐 ， 得 他 弟 兄 的 喜 悦 ， 可 以 把 脚 蘸 在 油 中 。
25 你 的 门 闩 （ 门 闩 或 作 ： 鞋 ） 是 铜 的 ， 铁 的 。 你 的 日 子 如 何 ， 你 的 力 量 也 必 如 何 。

27 永 生 的 神 是 你 的 居 所 ； 他 永 久 的 膀 臂 在 你 以 下 。 他 在 你 前 面 撵 出 仇 敌 ， 说 ： 毁 灭 罢 。
28 以 色 列 安 然 居 住 ； 雅 各 的 本 源 独 居 五 谷 新 酒 之 地 。 他 的 天 也 滴 甘 露 。
29 以 色 列 阿 ， 你 是 有 福 的 ！ 谁 像 你 这 蒙 耶 和 华 所 拯 救 的 百 姓 呢 ？ 他 是 你 的 盾 牌 ， 帮 助 你 ， 是 你 威 荣 的 刀 剑 。 你 的 仇 敌 必 投 降 你 ； 你 必 踏 在 他 们 的 高 处 。
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.”

Contemporary English Version
Moses Blesses the Tribes of Israel
33 Moses was a prophet, and before he died, he blessed the tribes of Israel by saying:
2 The Lord came from Mount Sinai.
From Edom, he gave light
to his people,
and his glory was shining
from Mount Paran.
Thousands of his warriors
were with him, and fire
was at his right hand.[a]
3 (A) The Lord loves the tribes
of Israel,[b]
and he protects his people.
They listen to his words
and worship at his feet.
* 4 I called a meeting
of the tribes of Israel[c]
and gave you God's Law.
5 Then you and your leaders
made the Lord your king.
6 Tribe of Reuben, you will live,
even though your tribe
will always be small.[d]
7 The Lord will listen to you,
tribe of Judah, as you beg
to come safely home.
You fought your enemies alone;[e]
now the Lord will help you.
8 (B) At Massah and Meribah Spring,[f]
the Lord tested you,
tribe of Levi.
You were faithful,[g]
and so the priesthood[h] belongs
to the Levi tribe.
9 Protecting Israel's agreement
with the Lord
was more important to you
than the life of your father
or mother,
or brothers or sisters,
or your own children.[i]
10 You teach God's laws to Israel,[j]
and at the place of worship
you offer sacrifices
and burn incense.
11 I pray that the Lord will bless
everything you do,
and make you strong enough
to crush your enemies.
12 The Lord Most High[k] loves you,
tribe of Benjamin.
He will live among your hills
and protect you.
13 Descendants of Joseph,
the Lord will bless you
with precious water
from deep wells
and with dew from the sky.
14 Month by month, your fruit
will ripen in the sunshine.
15 You will have a rich harvest
from the slopes
of the ancient hills.
16 The Lord who appeared
in the burning bush
wants to give you the best
the land can produce,
and it will be a princely crown
on Joseph's head.
17 The armies of Ephraim
and Manasseh
are majestic and fierce
like a bull or a wild ox.
They will run their spears
through faraway nations.
18 Be happy, Zebulun,
as your boats set sail;
be happy, Issachar,
in your tents.
19 The sea will make you wealthy,
and from the sandy beach
you will get treasure.[l]
So invite the other tribes[m]
to celebrate with you
and offer sacrifices to God.
20 Tribe of Gad,
the Lord will bless you
with more land.
So shout his praises!
Your tribe is like a lion
ripping up its victim.
21 Your leaders met together
and chose the best land
for your tribe,
but you obeyed the Lord
and helped the other tribes.[n]
22 Tribe of Dan,
you are like a lion cub,
startled by a snake.[o]
23 The Lord is pleased with you,
people of Naphtali.
He will bless you
and give you the land
to the west and the south.[p]
24 The Lord's greatest blessing
is for you, tribe of Asher.
You will be the favorite
of all the other tribes.
You will be rich with olive oil
25 and have strong town gates
with bronze and iron bolts.
Your people will be powerful
for as long as they live.
26 Israel,[q] no other god
is like ours—
the clouds are his chariot
as he rides across the skies
to come and help us.
27 The eternal God
is our hiding place;
he carries us in his arms.
When God tells you
to destroy your enemies,
he will make them run.
28 Israel, you will live in safety;
your enemies will be gone.[r]
The dew will fall from the sky,
and you will have plenty
of grain and wine.
29 The Lord has rescued you
and given you more blessings
than any other nation.
He protects you like a shield
and is your majestic sword.
Your enemies will bow in fear,
and you will trample
on their backs.
