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.

²ta ütles: 'Issand tuli Siinailt ja säras neile Seirist; ta paistis Paarani mäelt, ta tuli Kaadesisse Meribast, temast paremat kätt jäi Asdod.

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.

³Jah, ta armastab rahvaid, kõik ta pühad on sinu käes; nad heidavad su jalge ette, nad korjavad üles su sõnad:

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

⁴'Mooses on meile andnud Seaduse, Jaakobi kogudus on tema omand.'

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

⁵Jesurun sai kuninga, kui kogunesid rahva peamehed, kõik Iisraeli suguharud.

⁸Ja Leevi kohta ta ütles: 'Sinu tummim ja uurim kuulugu su ustavale mehele, keda sa proovile panid Massas, kellega sa riidlesid Meriba vee juures,

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.

⁹kes ütles oma isa ja ema kohta: 'Ma ei ole neid näinud!' ja kes ei tunnustanud oma vendi ega tundnud oma lapsi. Sest nemad peavad sinu sõna ja hoiavad sinu lepingut.

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

¹⁰Nad õpetavad Jaakobile sinu seadlusi ja Iisraelile sinu Seadust. Nad panevad su nina ette suitsutusrohtu ja su altarile täisohvri.

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!

¹¹Õnnista, Issand, tema jõudu, ja olgu sul hea meel tema kätetööst! Purusta tema vastaste ja vihkajate niuded, et nad enam ei tõuseks!'

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.

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,

¹³Ja Joosepi kohta ta ütles: 'Issand õnnistagu tema maad kastega - parimaga taevast, ja veega sügavusest, mis asub all;

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

¹⁴parimaga, mida päike välja toob, ja parimaga kuude saadustest;

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

¹⁵parimaga ürgseilt mägedelt ja parimaga igavestelt küngastelt,

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.

¹⁶maa parima vilja ja küllusega! Selle lembus, kes elas kibuvitsapõõsas, tulgu Joosepi pea peale, oma vendade vürsti pealaele!

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.

¹⁷Ta on oma härja esmasündinu ja tal on uhkust, tema sarved on metshärja sarved: nendega ta kaevleb rahvaid, maailma ääri üheskoos. Need on Efraimi kümned tuhanded, need on Manasse tuhanded.'

¹⁸Ja Sebuloni kohta ta ütles: 'Ole rõõmus, Sebulon, oma retkedel, ja Issaskar, oma telkides!

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.

¹⁹Nad kutsuvad rahvaid mäele, seal ohverdavad nad õigeid ohvreid, sest nad imevad merede ohtrust ja liivasse peidetud varandusi.'

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!

²⁰Ja Gaadi kohta ta ütles: 'Kiidetud olgu, kes annab Gaadile avarust! Ta elab nagu lõvi ja kisub lõhki käsivarre ja pealae.

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.

²¹Ta valis enesele esimese maaosa, sest seal oli valitseja osa. Kui kogunesid rahva peamehed, kehtestas ta Issanda õiguse ja tema seadused Iisraeliga.'

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

²²Ja Daani kohta ta ütles: 'Daan on lõvikutsikas, kes Baasanist üles kargab.'

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

²⁶Ükski ei ole nagu Jesuruni Jumal, kes sõidab sulle appi taevas ja pilvedes oma ülevas toreduses.

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

²⁷Varjupaigaks on iidne Jumal, kes sirutab välja igavesed käsivarred. Tema ajas vaenlase su eest ja ütles: 'Hävita!'

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.

²⁸Ja Iisrael elab julgesti, Jaakobi allikas on üksinda vilja ja veini maal - tema taevas piserdab alla kastet.

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.`

²⁹Õnnis oled sa, Iisrael! Kes on su sarnane? Rahvas, keda Issand on päästnud? Tema on kilp, kes sind aitab, mõõk, kes sind ülendab. Sinu vaenlased lömitavad su ees, aga sina tallad nende kõrgendikel.'
