Deuteronom 33
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Binecuvântarea rostită de Moise
33 Iată binecuvântarea(A) cu care Moise, omul(B) lui Dumnezeu, a binecuvântat pe copiii lui Israel înainte de moartea lui.
2 El a zis:
„Domnul(C) a venit din Sinai
Şi a răsărit peste ei din Seir,
A strălucit din muntele Paran
Şi a ieşit din mijlocul zecilor de mii(D) de sfinţi,
Având în dreapta Lui focul legii.
3 Da, El iubeşte(E) popoarele;
Toţi(F) sfinţii sunt în mâna Ta.
Ei au stat(G) la picioarele Tale,
Au primit(H) cuvintele Tale.
4 Moise(I) ne-a dat legea,
Moştenirea(J) adunării lui Iacov.
5 El era împărat(K) în Israel(L)
Când se adunau căpeteniile poporului
Şi seminţiile lui Israel.
6 Trăiască Ruben şi să nu moară
Şi bărbaţii lui să fie mulţi la număr!”
7 Iată ce a zis despre Iuda:
„Ascultă, Doamne, glasul lui Iuda
Şi adu-l la poporul lui.
Puternice să-i fie mâinile(M)
Şi să-i fii în ajutor(N) împotriva vrăjmaşilor lui!”
8 Despre Levi a zis:
„Tumim(O) şi Urim au fost încredinţaţi bărbatului sfânt
Pe care l-ai(P) ispitit la Masa
Şi cu care Te-ai certat la apele Meriba.
9 Levi a zis despre tatăl său şi despre mama sa: ‘Nu i-am văzut!’
Şi despre fraţii lui: ‘Nu vă(Q) cunosc!’
Şi despre fraţii lui: ‘Nu vă cunosc!’
Iar de copii n-a vrut să mai ştie.
Căci ei păzesc(R) Cuvântul Tău
Şi ţin legământul Tău;
10 Ei învaţă(S) pe Iacov poruncile Tale
Şi pe Israel legea Ta;
Ei pun(T) tămâie sub nările Tale
Şi ardere-de-tot(U) pe altarul Tău.
11 Binecuvântează tăria lui, Doamne!
Primeşte lucrarea(V) mâinilor lui!
Frânge şalele potrivnicilor lui
Şi vrăjmaşii lui să nu se mai scoale!”
12 Despre Beniamin a zis:
„El este preaiubitul Domnului,
El va locui la adăpost lângă Dânsul.
Domnul îl va ocroti totdeauna
Şi se va odihni între umerii Lui.”
13 Despre Iosif a zis:
„Ţara lui va primi de la Domnul, ca semn de binecuvântare(W),
Cel mai bun dar al cerului, roua(X),
Cele mai bune ape care sunt jos,
14 Cele mai bune roade ale soarelui,
Cele mai bune roade ale fiecărei luni,
15 Cele mai bune roade din munţii(Y) cei vechi,
Cele mai bune roade de pe dealurile(Z) cele veşnice,
16 Cele mai bune roade ale pământului şi din tot ce cuprinde el.
Bunăvoinţa(AA) Celui ce S-a arătat în rug
Să vină peste capul(AB) lui Iosif,
Pe creştetul capului domnului fraţilor lui!
17 El are frumuseţea întâiului născut(AC) al taurului;
Coarnele(AD) lui sunt cum sunt coarnele bivolului;
Cu ele va împunge(AE) pe toate popoarele,
Până la marginile pământului:
Ele sunt zecile de(AF) mii ale lui Efraim,
Ele sunt miile lui Manase.”
18 Despre Zabulon a zis:
„Bucură-te(AG), Zabuloane, de alergările tale
Şi tu, Isahar, de corturile tale!
19 Ei vor chema(AH) popoarele pe munte;
Acolo vor(AI) aduce jertfe de dreptate,
Căci vor suge bogăţia mării
Şi comorile ascunse în nisip.”
20 Despre Gad a zis:
„Binecuvântat să fie cine lărgeşte pe Gad!
Gad se odihneşte ca un leu
şi sfâşie la braţe şi capete.
21 El a ales(AJ) cea dintâi parte a ţării,
Căci acolo stă ascunsă moştenirea legiuitorului;
El a mers cu fruntaşii(AK) poporului,
A adus la îndeplinire dreptatea Domnului
Şi poruncile Lui faţă de Israel.”
22 Despre Dan a zis:
„Dan este un pui de leu
Care s-aruncă(AL) din Basan.”
23 Despre Neftali a zis:
„Neftali, sătul(AM) de bunăvoinţă
Şi copleşit cu binecuvântări de la Domnul,
Ia în stăpânire partea de(AN) apus şi miazăzi!”
24 Despre Aşer a zis:
„Binecuvântat(AO) să fie Aşer între copiii lui Israel!
Plăcut să fie fraţilor lui
Şi să-şi înmoaie(AP) piciorul în untdelemn!
25 Zăvoarele tale să fie de fier şi de aramă(AQ)
Şi puterea ta să ţină cât zilele tale!
26 Nimeni(AR) nu este ca Dumnezeul lui Israel(AS),
El trece pe ceruri ca să-ţi vină în ajutor,
Trece(AT) cu măreţie pe nori.
27 Dumnezeul cel veşnic este un loc de adăpost(AU)
Şi sub braţele Lui cele veşnice este un loc de scăpare.
El a izgonit(AV) pe vrăjmaş dinaintea ta
Şi a zis: ‘Nimiceşte-l.’
28 Israel(AW) este fără frică în locuinţa lui,
Izvorul(AX) lui Iacov este deoparte,
Într-o ţară plină de grâu şi de must,
Şi cerul(AY) lui picură roua.
29 Ferice(AZ) de tine, Israele! Cine(BA) este ca tine,
Un popor mântuit de Domnul,
Scutul(BB) care îţi dă ajutor
Şi sabia care te face slăvit?
Vrăjmaşii tăi vor face pe prietenii(BC) înaintea ta,
Şi tu(BD) vei călca peste înălţimile lor.”
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.
Deuteronomy 33
New King James Version
Moses’ Final Blessing on Israel
33 Now this is (A)the blessing with which Moses (B)the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 2 And he said:
(C)“The Lord came from Sinai,
And dawned on them from (D)Seir;
He shone forth from (E)Mount Paran,
And He came with (F)ten thousands of saints;
From His right hand
Came a fiery law for them.
3 Yes, (G)He loves the people;
(H)All His saints are in Your hand;
They (I)sit down at Your feet;
Everyone (J)receives Your words.
4 (K)Moses [a]commanded a law for us,
(L)A heritage of the congregation of Jacob.
5 And He was (M)King in (N)Jeshurun,
When the leaders of the people were gathered,
All the tribes of Israel together.
6 “Let (O)Reuben live, and not die,
Nor let his men be few.”
7 And this he said of (P)Judah:
“Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah,
And bring him to his people;
(Q)Let his hands be sufficient for him,
And may You be (R)a help against his enemies.”
8 And of (S)Levi he said:
(T)“Let Your [b]Thummim and Your Urim be with Your holy one,
(U)Whom You tested at Massah,
And with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah,
9 (V)Who says of his father and mother,
‘I have not (W)seen them’;
(X)Nor did he acknowledge his brothers,
Or know his own children;
For (Y)they have observed Your word
And kept Your covenant.
10 (Z)They shall teach Jacob Your judgments,
And Israel Your law.
They shall put incense before You,
(AA)And a whole burnt sacrifice on Your altar.
11 Bless his substance, Lord,
And (AB)accept the work of his hands;
Strike the loins of those who rise against him,
And of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”
12 Of Benjamin he said:
“The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him,
Who shelters him all the day long;
And he shall dwell between His shoulders.”
13 And of Joseph he said:
(AC)“Blessed of the Lord is his land,
With the precious things of heaven, with the (AD)dew,
And the deep lying beneath,
14 With the precious fruits of the sun,
With the precious produce of the months,
15 With the best things of (AE)the ancient mountains,
With the precious things (AF)of the everlasting hills,
16 With the precious things of the earth and its fullness,
And the favor of (AG)Him who dwelt in the bush.
Let the blessing come (AH)‘on the head of Joseph,
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.’
17 His glory is like a (AI)firstborn bull,
And his horns like the (AJ)horns of the wild ox;
Together with them
(AK)He shall push the peoples
To the ends of the earth;
(AL)They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 And of Zebulun he said:
(AM)“Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
And Issachar in your tents!
19 They shall (AN)call the peoples to the mountain;
There (AO)they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness;
For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas
And of treasures hidden in the sand.”
20 And of Gad he said:
“Blessed is he who (AP)enlarges Gad;
He dwells as a lion,
And tears the arm and the crown of his head.
21 (AQ)He provided the first part for himself,
Because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there.
(AR)He came with the heads of the people;
He administered the justice of the Lord,
And His judgments with Israel.”
22 And of Dan he said:
“Dan is a lion’s whelp;
(AS)He shall leap from Bashan.”
23 And of Naphtali he said:
“O Naphtali, (AT)satisfied with favor,
And full of the blessing of the Lord,
(AU)Possess the west and the south.”
24 And of Asher he said:
(AV)“Asher is most blessed of sons;
Let him be favored by his brothers,
And let him (AW)dip his foot in oil.
25 Your sandals shall be (AX)iron and bronze;
As your days, so shall your strength be.
26 “There is (AY)no one like the God of (AZ)Jeshurun,
(BA)Who rides the heavens to help you,
And in His excellency on the clouds.
27 The eternal God is your (BB)refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
(BC)He will thrust out the enemy from before you,
And will say, ‘Destroy!’
28 Then (BD)Israel shall dwell in safety,
(BE)The fountain of Jacob (BF)alone,
In a land of grain and new wine;
His (BG)heavens shall also drop dew.
29 (BH)Happy are you, O Israel!
(BI)Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord,
(BJ)The shield of your help
And the sword of your majesty!
Your enemies (BK)shall submit to you,
And (BL)you shall tread down their [c]high places.”
