Gibendisyonan ni Moises ang mga Tribo sa Israel

33 Mao kini ang bendisyon nga gisulti ni Moises nga alagad sa Dios sa mga Israelinhon sa wala pa siya mamatay. Miingon siya:

“Miabot ang Ginoo gikan sa Sinai;
nagpadayag siya kanato gikan sa Bukid sa Seir sama sa pagsidlak sa adlaw.
Misidlak siya sa mga tawo gikan sa Bukid sa Paran.
Miabot siya uban sa linibo ka mga anghel,
ug ang iyang tuong kamot may nagadilaab nga kalayo.[a]
Gihigugma gayod sa Ginoo ang iyang katawhan.
Gipanalipdan niya sila nga iyang pinili.
Busa gisunod nila siya ug gituman ang iyang mando.
Gihatag kanato ni Moises ang kasugoan ingon nga panulondon natong mga kaliwat ni Jacob.
Nahimong hari ang Ginoo sa Israel sa dihang nagtigom ang ilang mga pangulo ug ang ilang mga tribo.”
Mao kini ang giingon ni Moises bahin sa tribo ni Reuben,
“Hinaut nga dili mawala ang mga kaliwat ni Reuben bisan gamay lang sila.”

Miingon si Moises bahin sa tribo ni Juda:

Ginoo, pamatia ang pagpangayo ug tabang sa tribo ni Juda.
Hiusaha sila pag-usab sa ubang mga tribo sa Israel.
Panalipdi ug tabangi sila batok sa ilang mga kaaway.”

Miingon si Moises bahin sa tribo ni Levi:

Ginoo, gihatag mo ang Thumim ug Urim[b] sa imong matinumanon nga mga alagad nga mao ang mga kaliwat ni Levi.
Gisulayan mo sila didto sa Masa ug gibadlong didto sa daplin sa tubig sa Meriba.
Nagpakita sila ug mas dako nga pag-unong kanimo kaysa ilang mga ginikanan, mga igsoon, ug mga kabataan.
Gituman nila ang imong pulong, ug gitipigan nila ang imong kasabotan.
10 Tudloan nila ang mga Israelinhon sa imong mga pamalaod ug mga sugo,
ug magahalad sila ug insenso ug mga halad nga sinunog diha sa imong halaran.
11 O Ginoo, panalangini sila, ug hinaut pa nga malipay ikaw sa tanan nilang mga buhat.
Laglaga ang ilang mga kaaway aron dili na makabangon pa.”

12 Miingon si Moises bahin sa tribo ni Benjamin:

“Palangga sa Ginoo ang tribo ni Benjamin,
ug gipahilayo niya sila sa katalagman ug gipanalipdan sa tibuok nga adlaw.”

13 Miingon si Moises bahin sa tribo ni Jose:

“Hinaut pa nga panalanginan sa Ginoo ang ilang yuta ug padad-an kanunay ug ulan ug tubig gikan sa ilalom sa yuta.
14 Hinaut pa nga sa tabang sa adlaw mamunga ang ilang mga tanom ug maayong mga bunga sa panahon sa tingbunga niini.
15 Hinaut pa nga ang ilang karaang mga bukid ug mga bungtod magaanig maayo ug daghang mga bunga.
16 Hinaut pa nga ang ilang yuta magaani sa labing maayong mga abot sa kaayo sa Dios nga nagpadayag diha sa nagadilaab nga sampinit.
Hinaut pa nga kining mga panalangin magapabilin sa tribo ni Jose kay labaw siya kaysa iyang mga igsoon.
17 Ang iyang kusog sama sa kusog sa kamagulangang torong baka.
Ang iyang gahom sama sa gahom sa sungay sa ihalas nga baka.
Pinaagi niini laglagon niya ang mga nasod bisan kadtong atua sa layo.
Mao kini ang akong panalangin sa daghang mga katawhan sa Efraim ug Manase.”

18 Miingon si Moises bahin sa tribo ni Zebulun ug ni Isacar:

“Hinaut pa nga mouswag ang tribo ni Zebulun sa ilang negosyo.
Hinaut pa nga mouswag ang tribo ni Isacar sa ilang dapit.
19 Aghaton nila ang mga tawo sa pag-adto sa bukid sa paghalad sa husto nga mga halad ngadto sa Dios.
Magasaulog sila tungod sa daghang panalangin nga nakuha nila sa dagat ug sa baybayon.”

20 Miingon si Moises bahin sa tribo ni Gad:

“Dalaygon ang Dios nga nagpalapad sa teritoryo sa tribo ni Gad!
Nagakinabuhi sila niini nga yuta sama sa liyon nga andam sa pagkunis-kunis sa bukton o sa ulo sa iyang mga kaaway.
21 Gipili nila ang labing maayong yuta nga angay alang sa pangulo.
Sa dihang magkatigom ang mga tigdumala sa katawhan sa Israel, ginasunod nila ang mga ginapatuman sa Ginoo ug ang iyang mga lagda alang sa Israel.”

22 Miingon si Moises bahin sa tribo ni Dan:

“Ang tribo ni Dan sama sa anak sa liyon nga naglukso-lukso gikan sa Basan.”

23 Miingon si Moises bahin sa tribo ni Naftali:

“Ang tribo ni Naftali abunda sa panalangin sa Ginoo. Hinaut pa nga maangkon nila ang yuta sa kasadpan[c] ug sa habagatan.”

24 Miingon si Moises bahin sa tribo ni Asher:

“Hinaut pa nga panalanginan ang tribo ni Asher labaw sa tanang mga tribo sa Israel.
Hinaut pa nga malipay kanila ang ilang isigka-Israelinhon ug mahimong abunda ang ilang lana.
25 Hinaut pa nga ang mga trangka sa pultahan sa ilang mga lungsod mahisama kalig-on sa puthaw ug bronsi,
ug hinaut pa nga magpabilin ang ilang pagkagamhanan samtang buhi pa sila.
26 Walay sama sa Dios sa Israel.[d]
Sa iyang pagkahalangdon nagasakay siya sa mga panganod sa pagtabang kaninyo.
27 Ang walay kataposan nga Dios mao ang inyong dalangpanan;
tabangan niya kamo sa iyang walay kataposan nga gahom.
Abugon niya ang inyong mga kaaway sa inyong atubangan,
ug mosugo siya kaninyo sa paglaglag kanila.
28 Busa ang Israel magapuyo nga halayo sa katalagman, sa yuta nga abunda sa trigo ug duga sa ubas,
ug diin ang tun-og nga gikan sa langit nagahatag ug tubig sa yuta.
29 Bulahan kamo, O katawhan sa Israel!
Walay sama kaninyo—usa ka katawhan nga giluwas sa Ginoo.
Ang Ginoo mao ang manalipod ug motabang kaninyo,
ug siya ang makig-away alang kaninyo.
Magkamang ang inyong mga kaaway paingon kaninyo, ug tumban ninyo sila sa likod.”[e]

Moses Blesses the Tribes(A)

33 This is the blessing(B) that Moses the man of God(C) pronounced on the Israelites before his death. He said:

“The Lord came from Sinai(D)
    and dawned over them from Seir;(E)
    he shone forth(F) from Mount Paran.(G)
He came with[a] myriads of holy ones(H)
    from the south, from his mountain slopes.[b]
Surely it is you who love(I) the people;
    all the holy ones are in your hand.(J)
At your feet they all bow down,(K)
    and from you receive instruction,
the law that Moses gave us,(L)
    the possession of the assembly of Jacob.(M)
He was king(N) over Jeshurun[c](O)
    when the leaders of the people assembled,
    along with the tribes of Israel.

“Let Reuben live and not die,
    nor[d] his people be few.”(P)

And this he said about Judah:(Q)

“Hear, Lord, the cry of Judah;
    bring him to his people.
With his own hands he defends his cause.
    Oh, be his help against his foes!”

About Levi(R) he said:

“Your Thummim and Urim(S) belong
    to your faithful servant.(T)
You tested(U) him at Massah;
    you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.(V)
He said of his father and mother,(W)
    ‘I have no regard for them.’
He did not recognize his brothers
    or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
    and guarded your covenant.(X)
10 He teaches(Y) your precepts to Jacob
    and your law to Israel.(Z)
He offers incense before you(AA)
    and whole burnt offerings on your altar.(AB)
11 Bless all his skills, Lord,
    and be pleased with the work of his hands.(AC)
Strike down those who rise against him,
    his foes till they rise no more.”

12 About Benjamin(AD) he said:

“Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him,(AE)
    for he shields him all day long,(AF)
    and the one the Lord loves(AG) rests between his shoulders.(AH)

13 About Joseph(AI) he said:

“May the Lord bless his land
    with the precious dew from heaven above
    and with the deep waters that lie below;(AJ)
14 with the best the sun brings forth
    and the finest the moon can yield;
15 with the choicest gifts of the ancient mountains(AK)
    and the fruitfulness of the everlasting hills;
16 with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness
    and the favor of him who dwelt in the burning bush.(AL)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,
    on the brow of the prince among[e] his brothers.(AM)
17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull;
    his horns(AN) are the horns of a wild ox.(AO)
With them he will gore(AP) the nations,
    even those at the ends of the earth.
Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim;(AQ)
    such are the thousands of Manasseh.(AR)

18 About Zebulun(AS) he said:

“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
    and you, Issachar,(AT) in your tents.
19 They will summon peoples to the mountain(AU)
    and there offer the sacrifices of the righteous;(AV)
they will feast on the abundance of the seas,(AW)
    on the treasures hidden in the sand.”

20 About Gad(AX) he said:

“Blessed is he who enlarges Gad’s domain!(AY)
    Gad lives there like a lion,
    tearing at arm or head.
21 He chose the best land for himself;(AZ)
    the leader’s portion was kept for him.(BA)
When the heads of the people assembled,
    he carried out the Lord’s righteous will,(BB)
    and his judgments concerning Israel.”

22 About Dan(BC) he said:

“Dan is a lion’s cub,
    springing out of Bashan.”

23 About Naphtali(BD) he said:

“Naphtali is abounding with the favor of the Lord
    and is full of his blessing;
    he will inherit southward to the lake.”

24 About Asher(BE) he said:

“Most blessed of sons is Asher;
    let him be favored by his brothers,
    and let him bathe his feet in oil.(BF)
25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze,(BG)
    and your strength will equal your days.(BH)

26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,(BI)
    who rides(BJ) across the heavens to help you(BK)
    and on the clouds(BL) in his majesty.(BM)
27 The eternal(BN) God is your refuge,(BO)
    and underneath are the everlasting(BP) arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,(BQ)
    saying, ‘Destroy them!’(BR)
28 So Israel will live in safety;(BS)
    Jacob will dwell[f] secure
in a land of grain and new wine,
    where the heavens drop dew.(BT)
29 Blessed are you, Israel!(BU)
    Who is like you,(BV)
    a people saved by the Lord?(BW)
He is your shield and helper(BX)
    and your glorious sword.
Your enemies will cower before you,
    and you will tread on their heights.(BY)

33 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.

Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.

Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.

Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.

And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.

And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.

10 They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.

11 Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

12 And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.

13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,

14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,

15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,

16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.

19 They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.

20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.

21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with Israel.

22 And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.

23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the Lord: possess thou the west and the south.

24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.

25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

26 There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.

27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.

29 Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
