Deuteronomy 33
New International Version
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. 2 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]
3 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,
4 the law that Moses gave us,(L)
the possession of the assembly of Jacob.(M)
5 He was king(N) over Jeshurun[c](O)
when the leaders of the people assembled,
along with the tribes of Israel.
7 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!”
8 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)
9 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)”

Mose välsignar Israel
33 Detta är den välsignelse gudsmannen Mose uttalade över Israels barn före sin död: 2 Han sade:
" Herren kom från Sinai,
från Seir gick hans sken upp över dem.
Han strålade fram från berget Paran,
ur skaran av mångtusen heliga.
På hans högra sida brann i eld en lag för dem.
3 I sanning, han älskar folken.
Alla hans heliga är i din hand.
De faller ner vid din fot,
de tar emot av dina ord.
4 Mose gav oss en lag,
en arvedel för Jakobs menighet.
5 Han blev kung i Jesurun,
när folkets huvudmän samlades,
Israels alla stammar."
6 "Må Ruben leva och ej dö.
Dock blir hans män en liten skara."
7 Detta sade han om Juda:
"Hör, o Herre, Juda röst,
låt honom komma till sitt folk.
Med sina händer strider han för det.
Bli en hjälp för honom mot hans ovänner."
8 Om Levi sade han:
"Dina tummim och dina urim[a] tillhör din fromme,
som du prövade i Massa,
som du kämpade med vid Meribas vatten,
9 han som sade om sin fader och sin moder:
'Jag ser dem inte',
och som inte ville kännas vid sina bröder,
ej heller veta av sina barn.
Ty de tog vara på ditt ord,
och ditt förbund höll de.
10 De skall lära Jakob dina förordningar
och Israel din lag.
De skall bära fram rökelse för din näsa,
och heloffer på ditt altare.
11 Välsigna, o Herre, hans kraft,
låt hans händers verk behaga dig.
Krossa höfterna på hans motståndare,
på hans fiender, så att de inte kan resa sig."
12 Om Benjamin sade han:
" Herrens älskade
skall bo i trygghet hos honom
som alltid skyddar honom.
Mellan hans höjder skall han bo."
13 Om Josef sade han:
"Välsignat av Herren vare hans land,
med himlens ädlaste gåvor, med dagg,
med gåvor från djupet som ligger där nere,
14 med solens ädlaste alster
och månvarvens ädlaste frukter,
15 med de uråldriga bergens yppersta skatter
och de eviga höjdernas dyrbara frukt,
16 med jordens dyrbara frukt och all dess fullhet,
med nåd från honom som bodde i busken.
Må detta komma över Josefs huvud,
över hans hjässa, fursten bland bröder.
17 Härlig är den förstfödde bland hans tjurar,
som en vildoxes är hans horn.
Med dem stångar han folken,
också dem som bor vid jordens ändar.
Sådana är Efraims tiotusenden,
sådana Manasses tusenden."
18 Om Sebulon sade han:
"Gläd dig, Sebulon, när du drar ut,
och du Isaskar, i dina tält.
19 Folk bjuder de in till sitt berg.
Där offrar de rätta offer.
Ty havens rikedom suger de till sig,
och skatter som sanden döljer."
20 Om Gad sade han:
"Lovad vare han som gav rymligt land åt Gad!
Han bor som en lejoninna,
och krossar både arm och hjässa.
21 Han utsåg den bästa delen åt sig själv,
ty där var hans härskarlott förvarad.
När folkets huvudmän kom samman,
utförde han Herrens rätt,
hans domar med Israel."
22 Om Dan sade han:
"Dan är ett ungt lejon,
som rusar ner från Basan."
23 Om Naftali sade han:
"Naftali har fått riklig nåd
och full välsignelse av Herren.
Väster och söder skall du ta i besittning."
24 Om Aser sade han:
"Välsignad bland söner är Aser.
Må han bli älskad av sina bröder,
och må han doppa sin fot i olja.
25 Av järn och koppar skall dina reglar vara,
och som dina dagar din kraft."
26 "Ingen är som Jesuruns Gud,
han som far fram på himlen till din hjälp,
på skyarna i sitt majestät.
27 En tillflykt är han, urtidens Gud,
och här nere råder hans eviga armar.
Han skall jaga fienderna framför dig,
och säga: Förgör dem!
28 Så skall Israel bo i trygghet,
Jakobs källa lämnas ifred
i ett land med säd och vin,
under en himmel som dryper av dagg.
29 Salig är du, Israel. Vem är dig lik?
Du är ett folk, som har sin räddning i Herren.
Han är din skyddande sköld, ditt ärorika svärd.
Dina fiender skall visa dig underdånighet,
och du skall gå fram över deras höjder."

Deuteronomy 33
King James Version
33 And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 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.
3 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.
4 Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
5 And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
6 Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
7 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.
8 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;
9 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.
