¹摩西祝福以色列各支派

¹And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,

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，从他的右手有烈火的律法。

²and he saith: — `Jehovah from Sinai hath come, And hath risen from Seir for them; He hath shone from mount Paran, And hath come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [are] springs for them.

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。

³Also He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in thy hand, And they — they sat down at thy foot, [Each] He lifteth up at thy words.

⁴摩西把律法吩咐我们，作为雅各会众的基业。

⁴A law hath Moses commanded us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob.

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。

⁵And he is in Jeshurun king, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!

⁶愿流本生存，不致死亡，愿他的人数不致稀少。”

⁶Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be a number.

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。”

⁷And this [is] for Judah; and he saith: — Hear, O Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And unto his people do Thou bring him in; His hand hath striven for him, And an help from his adversaries art Thou.

⁸论到利未，他说：“耶和华啊，愿你的土明和乌陵属于倚靠你的利未人，就是你在玛撒试验过的，在米利巴水边与他们争论过的。

⁸And of Levi he said: — Thy Thummim and thy Urim [are] for thy pious one, Whom Thou hast tried in Massah, Thou dost strive with Him at the waters of Meribah;

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。

⁹Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And his brethren he hath not discerned, And his sons he hath not known; For they have observed Thy saying, And Thy covenant they keep.

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。

¹⁰They teach Thy judgments to Jacob, And Thy law to Israel; They put perfume in Thy nose, And whole burnt-offering on Thine altar.

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。”

¹¹Bless, O Jehovah, his strength, And the work of his hands Thou acceptest, Smite the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him — that they rise not!

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。”

¹²Of Benjamin he said: — The beloved of Jehovah doth tabernacle confidently by him, Covering him over all the day; Yea, between his shoulders He doth tabernacle.

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之物，以及蕴藏在地里的泉水；

¹³And of Joseph he said: — Blessed of Jehovah [is] his land, By precious things of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath,

¹⁴得着从太阳而来的上好之物，每月所产的佳果；

¹⁴And by precious things — fruits of the sun, And by precious things — cast forth by the moons,

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；

¹⁵And by chief things — of the ancient mountains, And by precious things — of the age-during heights,

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。

¹⁶And by precious things — of earth and its fulness, And the good pleasure Of Him who is dwelling in the bush, — Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him Who is separate from his brethren.

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。”

¹⁷His honour [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a reem; By them peoples he doth push together To the ends of earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.

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。

¹⁸And of Zebulun he said: — Rejoice, O Zebulun, in thy going out, And, O Issachar, in thy tents;

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。”

¹⁹Peoples [to] the mountain they call, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For the abundance of the seas they suck, And hidden things hidden in the sand.

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。

²⁰And of Gad he said: — Blessed of the Enlarger [is] Gad, As a lioness he doth tabernacle, And hath torn the arm — also the crown!

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。”

²¹And he provideth the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he cometh [with] the heads of the people; The righteousness of Jehovah he hath done, And His judgments with Israel.

²²论到但，他说：“但是只幼狮，从巴珊跳出来。”

²²And of Dan he said: — Dan [is] a lion`s whelp; he doth leap from Bashan.

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。”

²³And of Naphtali he said: — O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, West and south possess thou.

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。

²⁴And of Asher he said: — Blessed with sons [is] Asher, Let him be accepted by his brethren, And dipping in oil his foot.

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。

²⁵Iron and brass [are] thy shoes, And as thy days — thy strength.

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。

²⁶There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens in thy help, And in His excellency the skies.

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！’

²⁷A habitation [is] the eternal God, And beneath [are] arms age-during. And He casteth out from thy presence the enemy, and saith, `Destroy!`

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。

²⁸And Israel doth tabernacle [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] unto a land of corn and wine; Also His heavens drop down dew.

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。”

²⁹O thy happiness, O Israel! who is like thee? A people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And He who [is] the sword of thine excellency: And thine enemies are subdued for thee, And thou on their high places dost tread.`
