1And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
1 Albarka kaŋ Irikoy bora Musa na Israyla izey albarkandi nd'a za a mana bu neeya:
2And 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.
2 A ne: «Rabbi fun Sinayi, A tun Seyir ka kaa i do, A kaari i gaa, kaaro fun Paran tondo ra. A fun hanante dubu-dubu bindo ra. A kambe ŋwaaro ra gonda asariya danjikoy i se.
3Yea, 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.
3 Haciika a ga ba nga jama. Ni hanantey kulu go ni kambe ra. I na ni ce daarey gana. I afo kulu na ni sanney ta.
4Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
4 Musa na asariya lordi iri se, Tubu hari no Yakuba marga se.
5And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
5 A ciya mo bonkooni Yesurun ra waato kaŋ jama jine borey margu, Ngey nda Israyla kundey care banda.
6Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
6 Ruben ma funa, a ma si bu. A borey mo manti ciraariyaŋ no.»
7And 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.
7 Yahuda albarka mo neeya: «Ya Rabbi, ma maa Yahuda jinde, Ma kand'a mo nga dumo do. A kambey gaabo ma wasa a se. Ni ma ciya a se Gaako mo a yanjekaarey kulu gaa.»
8And 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;
8 Lawi boŋ mo a ne: «Ni Tummin da ni Urim* go ni hananta do. Nga kaŋ ni si Massa haray, Nga kaŋ ni kakaw d'a Meriba haro jarga,
9Who 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.
9 Boro kaŋ ne nga baabo nda nga nyaŋo boŋ: ay man'i saal. A mana nga nya-izey bayray seeda mo. Nga kaŋ na nga izey ze, Zama a ga ni sanno haggoy, Ka ni sappa mo gaay.
10They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
10 I ga ni farilley dondonandi Yakuba se, Ni asariya* mo Israyla se. I ga dugu ton ni jine, Nga nda sargay summaare, Kaŋ i ga ton ni sargay feema boŋ.
11Bless, 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.
11 Ya Rabbi, ma Lawi mayray hari albarkandi, Ma yadda mo d'a kambe goyo. Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga tun ka gaaba nd'a mo, Ni m'i kar k'i kungursu bagu, A konnakoy mo yaadin, Hal i ma si ye ka tun koyne.»
12And 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.
12 Benyamin boŋ a ne: «Rabbi baakwa ga goro a jarga baani samay. Rabbi g'a windi k'a haggoy zaari me-a-me. A nangoray go Rabbi jasey game ra.»
13And 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,
13 Yusufu boŋ mo a ne: «A laabo gonda Rabbi albarka, A gonda beene albarka nda harandaŋ wane. A gonda wo kaŋ go ganda ga jisi wane.
14And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
14 A gonda nafa kaŋ wayna ga hay arzakey, A gonda mo nafa kaŋ hando ga hay arzakey.
15And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
15 A gonda hari beeri yaŋ kaŋ yaŋ ga fun tondi beeri zeeney gaa. A gonda mo arzakey kaŋ ga fun tudey kaŋ ga duumi ra.
16And 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.
16 A gonda fari arzakey d'i baayaŋ kulu, Da wo kaŋ goro ganda tuuri ra gaakuro. Naŋ albarka ma kaa ka zumbu Yusufu boŋ. Oho, baa bora kaŋ i fay da nga nya-izey boŋ bindo ra.
17His 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.
17 Koytaray darza ya a wane no, Danga haw-nya hay-jine wano cine. A hilley go danga haw-bi hilliyaŋ cine, Nga no a ga dumey kulu nukum d'a, hala ndunnya me waney. Yaadin no Ifraymu zambar-zambarey, Yaadin mo no Manasse zambarey.»
18And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
18 Zabluna boŋ mo a ne: «Ya Zabluna, wa farhã ni fattayaŋey ra. Nin mo, ya Isakar, ni kuuru-fuwey ra.
19They 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.
19 A ga jama boobo ce i ma kaa tondi kuuko do. Noodin mo no i ga adilitaray sargayey salle, Zama i ga teekoy yulwa candi, Ngey nda jabo taasey arzaka tugantey.»
20And 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.
20 Gad boŋ mo a ne: «Albarkante no boro kaŋ ga Gad tafandi. A ga goro danga muusu beeri way, A ga kambe da boŋ bindi kulu tooru-tooru.
21And 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.
21 A ga baa hanno suuban nga boŋ se. Noodin no i na mayraykoy baa jisi. A kaa jama jine borey banda, A na Rabbi adilitaray goyey toonandi, Danga, a farilley kaŋ yaŋ a waadu Israyla se nooya.»
22And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
22 Dan boŋ mo a ne: «Dan ga ti muusu beeri ize kaŋ ga sar ka fun Basan.»
23And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
23 Naftali boŋ mo a ne: «Ya Naftali, nin kaŋ kungu nda gomni, Nin kaŋ to da Rabbi albarka! Ni ga du wayna kaŋay da dandi kambe haray mayray.»
24And 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.
24 Aser boŋ mo a ne: «Albarkante no Aser wo ize arey game ra. A ma ciya gaakuri hari nga nya-izey do. A ma nga ce taamu sufu ji ra.
25Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
25 Ni taamey ma ciya guuru-bi nda guuru-say wane yaŋ. Ni gaabo mo ma saba nda ni aloomaro kuuyaŋ.
26There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
26 Boro kulu si no danga Yesurun Irikoyo cine, Nga kaŋ ga kaaru beena boŋ ka kaa ka ni gaakasinay. A darza ra mo a ga kaa ni do ka fun beene batama ra.
27The 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.
27 Irikoy kaŋ sinda sintina hane, A bananta hane mo si no, Nga no ga ti ni nangora. A kambey kaŋ go no duumi, Ngey neeya ni cire ga ni gaay. A na ibare tuti ka hibandi ni jine. A ne a se: ‹Ni ma halaci!›
28Israel 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.
28 Israyla ga goro baani samay. Yakuba hari-mwa go no, nga fo, Laabo kaŋ ga to da ntaaso nda reyzin hari taji ra. Oho, a beena goono ga harandaŋ zumandi.
29Happy 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.
29 Ya Israyla, ni ya albarkante no! May no ga hima ni cine, jama kaŋ Rabbi faaba? Nga wo ni koray da ni gaako no, Ni koytaray darza takuba mo no. Ni ibarey ga sumbal ka ngey boŋ ye ni kambe ra, Ni mo g'i nangey kaŋ go beene taamu-taamu.»
