Deuteronomy 33

KJV

1  And this2063 is the blessing,1293 wherewith834 Moses4872 the man376 of God430 blessed1288 853 the children1121 of Israel3478 before6440 his death.4194

2  And he said,559 The LORD3068 came935 from Sinai,4480 5514 and rose up2224 from Seir4480 8165 unto them; he shined forth3313 from mount4480 2022 Paran,6290 and he came857 with ten thousands4480 7233 of saints:6944 from his right hand4480 3225 went a fiery784 law1881 for them.

3  Yea,637 he loved2245 the people;5971 all3605 his saints6918 are in thy hand:3027 and they1992 sat down8497 at thy feet;7272 every one shall receive5375 of thy words.4480 1703

4  Moses4872 commanded6680 us a law,8451 even the inheritance4181 of the congregation6952 of Jacob.3290

5  And he was1961 king4428 in Jeshurun,3484 when the heads7218 of the people5971 and the tribes7626 of Israel3478 were gathered622 together.3162

6  Let Reuben7205 live,2421 and not408 die;4191 and let not his men4962 be1961 few.4557

7  And this2063 is the blessing of Judah:3063 and he said,559 Hear,8085 LORD,3068 the voice6963 of Judah,3063 and bring935 him unto413 his people:5971 let his hands3027 be sufficient7227 for him; and be1961 thou a help5828 to him from his enemies.4480 6862

8  And of Levi3878 he said,559 Let thy Thummim8550 and thy Urim224 be with thy holy2623 one,376 whom834 thou didst prove5254 at Massah,4532 and with whom thou didst strive7378 at5921 the waters4325 of Meribah;4809

9  Who said559 unto his father1 and to his mother,517 I have not3808 seen7200 him; neither3808 did he acknowledge5234 his brethren,251 nor3808 knew3045 his own children:1121 for3588 they have observed8104 thy word,565 and kept5341 thy covenant.1285

10  They shall teach3384 Jacob3290 thy judgments,4941 and Israel3478 thy law:8451 they shall put7760 incense6988 before639 thee, and whole burnt sacrifice3632 upon5921 thine altar.4196

11  Bless,1288 LORD,3068 his substance,2428 and accept7521 the work6467 of his hands:3027 smite through4272 the loins4975 of them that rise against6965 him, and of them that hate8130 him, that4480 they rise not again.6965

12  And of Benjamin1144 he said,559 The beloved3039 of the LORD3068 shall dwell7931 in safety983 by5921 him; and the LORD shall cover2653 5921 him all3605 the day3117 long, and he shall dwell7931 between996 his shoulders.3802

13  And of Joseph3130 he said,559 Blessed1288 of the LORD3068 be his land,776 for the precious things4480 4022 of heaven,8064 for the dew,4480 2919 and for the deep4480 8415 that coucheth7257 beneath,8478

14  And for the precious4480 4022 fruits8393 brought forth by the sun,8121 and for the precious things4480 4022 put forth1645 by the moon,3391

15  And for the chief things4480 7218 of the ancient6924 mountains,2042 and for the precious things4480 4022 of the lasting5769 hills,1389

16  And for the precious things4480 4022 of the earth776 and fullness4393 thereof, and for the good will7522 of him that dwelt7931 in the bush:5572 let the blessing come935 upon the head7218 of Joseph,3130 and upon the top of the head6936 of him that was separated5139 from his brethren.251

17  His glory1926 is like the firstling1060 of his bullock,7794 and his horns7161 are like the horns7161 of unicorns:7214 with them he shall push5055 the people5971 together3162 to the ends657 of the earth:776 and they1992 are the ten thousands7233 of Ephraim,669 and they1992 are the thousands505 of Manasseh.4519

18  And of Zebulun2074 he said,559 Rejoice,8055 Zebulun,2074 in thy going out;3318 and, Issachar,3485 in thy tents.168

19  They shall call7121 the people5971 unto the mountain;2022 there8033 they shall offer2076 sacrifices2077 of righteousness:6664 for3588 they shall suck3243 of the abundance8228 of the seas,3220 and of treasures8226 hid2934 in the sand.2344

20  And of Gad1410 he said,559 Blessed1288 be he that enlargeth7337 Gad:1410 he dwelleth7931 as a lion,3833 and teareth2963 the arm2220 with637 the crown of the head.6936

21  And he provided7200 the first part7225 for himself, because3588 there,8033 in a portion2513 of the lawgiver,2710 was he seated;5603 and he came857 with the heads7218 of the people,5971 he executed6213 the justice6666 of the LORD,3068 and his judgments4941 with5973 Israel.3478

22  And of Dan1835 he said,559 Dan1835 is a lion's738 whelp:1482 he shall leap2187 from4480 Bashan.1316

23  And of Naphtali5321 he said,559 O Naphtali,5321 satisfied7649 with favor,7522 and full4392 with the blessing1293 of the LORD:3068 possess3423 thou the west3220 and the south.1864

24  And of Asher836 he said,559 Let Asher836 be blessed1288 with children;4480 1121 let him be1961 acceptable7521 to his brethren,251 and let him dip2881 his foot7272 in oil.8081

25  Thy shoes4515 shall be iron1270 and brass;5178 and as thy days,3117 so shall thy strength1679 be.

26  There is none369 like unto the God410 of Jeshurun,3484 who rideth upon7392 the heaven8064 in thy help,5828 and in his excellency1346 on the sky.7834

27  The eternal6924 God430 is thy refuge,4585 and underneath4480 8478 are the everlasting5769 arms:2220 and he shall thrust out1644 the enemy341 from before4480 6440 thee; and shall say,559 Destroy8045 them.

28  Israel3478 then shall dwell7931 in safety983 alone:910 the fountain5869 of Jacob3290 shall be upon413 a land776 of corn1715 and wine;8492 also637 his heavens8064 shall drop down6201 dew.2919

29  Happy835 art thou, O Israel:3478 who4310 is like unto thee,3644 O people5971 saved3467 by the LORD,3068 the shield4043 of thy help,5828 and who834 is the sword2719 of thy excellency!1346 and thine enemies341 shall be found liars3584 unto thee; and thou859 shalt tread1869 upon5921 their high places.1116

1 καὶ αὕτη ἡ εὐλογία ἣν εὐλόγησεν Μωυσῆς ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ πρὸ τῆς τελευτῆς αὐτοῦ

2 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος ἐκ Σινα ἥκει καὶ ἐπέφανεν ἐκ Σηιρ ἡμῖν καὶ κατέσπευσεν ἐξ ὄρους Φαραν σὺν μυριάσιν Καδης ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ ἄγγελοι μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ

3 καὶ ἐφείσατο τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ ἡγιασμένοι ὑπὸ τὰς χεῖράς σου καὶ οὗτοι ὑπὸ σέ εἰσιν καὶ ἐδέξατο ἀπὸ τῶν λόγων αὐτοῦ

4 νόμον ὃν ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν Μωυσῆς κληρονομίαν συναγωγαῖς Ιακωβ

5 καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἠγαπημένῳ ἄρχων συναχθέντων ἀρχόντων λαῶν ἅμα φυλαῖς Ισραηλ

6 ζήτω Ρουβην καὶ μὴ ἀποθανέτω καὶ ἔστω πολὺς ἐν ἀριθμῷ

7 καὶ αὕτη Ιουδα εἰσάκουσον κύριε φωνῆς Ιουδα καὶ εἰς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ εἰσέλθοισαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ διακρινοῦσιν αὐτῷ καὶ βοηθὸς ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ ἔσῃ

8 καὶ τῷ Λευι εἶπεν δότε Λευι δήλους αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀλήθειαν αὐτοῦ τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁσίῳ ὃν ἐπείρασαν αὐτὸν ἐν πείρᾳ ἐλοιδόρησαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ὕδατος ἀντιλογίας

9 ὁ λέγων τῷ πατρὶ καὶ τῇ μητρί οὐχ ἑόρακά σε καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐπέγνω καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἀπέγνω ἐφύλαξεν τὰ λόγιά σου καὶ τὴν διαθήκην σου διετήρησεν

10 δηλώσουσιν τὰ δικαιώματά σου τῷ Ιακωβ καὶ τὸν νόμον σου τῷ Ισραηλ ἐπιθήσουσιν θυμίαμα ἐν ὀργῇ σου διὰ παντὸς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου

11 εὐλόγησον κύριε τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ δέξαι κάταξον ὀσφὺν ἐχθρῶν ἐπανεστηκότων αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτὸν μὴ ἀναστήτωσαν

12 καὶ τῷ Βενιαμιν εἶπεν ἠγαπημένος ὑπὸ κυρίου κατασκηνώσει πεποιθώς καὶ ὁ θεὸς σκιάζει ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὤμων αὐτοῦ κατέπαυσεν

13 καὶ τῷ Ιωσηφ εἶπεν ἀπ᾽ εὐλογίας κυρίου ἡ γῆ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ ὡρῶν οὐρανοῦ καὶ δρόσου καὶ ἀπὸ ἀβύσσων πηγῶν κάτωθεν

14 καὶ καθ᾽ ὥραν γενημάτων ἡλίου τροπῶν καὶ ἀπὸ συνόδων μηνῶν

15 καὶ ἀπὸ κορυφῆς ὀρέων ἀρχῆς καὶ ἀπὸ κορυφῆς βουνῶν ἀενάων

16 καὶ καθ᾽ ὥραν γῆς πληρώσεως καὶ τὰ δεκτὰ τῷ ὀφθέντι ἐν τῷ βάτῳ ἔλθοισαν ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν Ιωσηφ καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφῆς δοξασθεὶς ἐν ἀδελφοῖς

17 πρωτότοκος ταύρου τὸ κάλλος αὐτοῦ κέρατα μονοκέρωτος τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτοῖς ἔθνη κερατιεῖ ἅμα ἕως ἐπ᾽ ἄκρου γῆς αὗται μυριάδες Εφραιμ καὶ αὗται χιλιάδες Μανασση

18 καὶ τῷ Ζαβουλων εἶπεν εὐφράνθητι Ζαβουλων ἐν ἐξοδίᾳ σου καί Ισσαχαρ ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτοῦ

19 ἔθνη ἐξολεθρεύσουσιν καὶ ἐπικαλέσεσθε ἐκεῖ καὶ θύσετε θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης ὅτι πλοῦτος θαλάσσης θηλάσει σε καὶ ἐμπόρια παράλιον κατοικούντων

20 καὶ τῷ Γαδ εἶπεν εὐλογημένος ἐμπλατύνων Γαδ ὡς λέων ἀνεπαύσατο συντρίψας βραχίονα καὶ ἄρχοντα

21 καὶ εἶδεν ἀπαρχὴν αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐμερίσθη γῆ ἀρχόντων συνηγμένων ἅμα ἀρχηγοῖς λαῶν δικαιοσύνην κύριος ἐποίησεν καὶ κρίσιν αὐτοῦ μετὰ Ισραηλ

22 καὶ τῷ Δαν εἶπεν Δαν σκύμνος λέοντος καὶ ἐκπηδήσεται ἐκ τοῦ Βασαν

23 καὶ τῷ Νεφθαλι εἶπεν Νεφθαλι πλησμονὴ δεκτῶν καὶ ἐμπλησθήτω εὐλογίαν παρὰ κυρίου θάλασσαν καὶ λίβα κληρονομήσει

24 καὶ τῷ Ασηρ εἶπεν εὐλογητὸς ἀπὸ τέκνων Ασηρ καὶ ἔσται δεκτὸς τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ βάψει ἐν ἐλαίῳ τὸν πόδα αὐτοῦ

25 σίδηρος καὶ χαλκὸς τὸ ὑπόδημα αὐτοῦ ἔσται καὶ ὡς αἱ ἡμέραι σου ἡ ἰσχύς σου

26 οὐκ ἔστιν ὥσπερ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ ἠγαπημένου ὁ ἐπιβαίνων ἐπὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν βοηθός σου καὶ ὁ μεγαλοπρεπὴς τοῦ στερεώματος

27 καὶ σκέπασις θεοῦ ἀρχῆς καὶ ὑπὸ ἰσχὺν βραχιόνων ἀενάων καὶ ἐκβαλεῖ ἀπὸ προσώπου σου ἐχθρὸν λέγων ἀπόλοιο

28 καὶ κατασκηνώσει Ισραηλ πεποιθὼς μόνος ἐπὶ γῆς Ιακωβ ἐπὶ σίτῳ καὶ οἴνῳ καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς αὐτῷ συννεφὴς δρόσῳ

29 μακάριος σύ Ισραηλ τίς ὅμοιός σοι λαὸς σῳζόμενος ὑπὸ κυρίου ὑπερασπιεῖ ὁ βοηθός σου καὶ ἡ μάχαιρα καύχημά σου καὶ ψεύσονταί σε οἱ ἐχθροί σου καὶ σὺ ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν ἐπιβήσῃ

1 Hæc est benedictio, qua benedixit Moyses, homo Dei, filiis Israël ante mortem suam.

2 Et ait: [Dominus de Sinai venit,
et de Seir ortus est nobis:
apparuit de monte Pharan,
et cum eo sanctorum millia.
In dextera ejus ignea lex.

3 Dilexit populos,
omnes sancti in manu illius sunt:
et qui appropinquant pedibus ejus,
accipient de doctrina illius.

4 Legem præcepit nobis Moyses,
hæreditatem multitudinis Jacob.

5 Erit apud rectissimum rex,
congregatis principibus populi cum tribubus Israël.

6 Vivat Ruben, et non moriatur,
et sit parvus in numero.]

7 Hæc est Judæ benedictio: [Audi, Domine, vocem Judæ,
et ad populum suum introduc eum:
manus ejus pugnabunt pro eo,
et adjutor illius contra adversarios ejus erit.]

8 Levi quoque ait: [Perfectio tua, et doctrina tua viro sancto tuo,
quem probasti in tentatione,
et judicasti ad aquas contradictionis.

9 Qui dixit patri suo et matri suæ: Nescio vos:
et fratribus suis: Ignoro vos:
et nescierunt filios suos.
Hi custodierunt eloquium tuum,
et pactum tuum servaverunt.

10 Judicia tua, o Jacob,
et legem tuam, o Israël:
ponent thymiama in furore tuo,
et holocaustum super altare tuum.

11 Benedic, Domine, fortitudini ejus:
et opera manuum illius suscipe.
Percute dorsa inimicorum ejus:
et qui oderunt eum, non consurgant.]

12 Et Benjamin ait: [Amantissimus Domini habitabit confidenter in eo:
quasi in thalamo tota die morabitur,
et inter humeros illius requiescet.]

13 Joseph quoque ait: [De benedictione Domini terra ejus,
de pomis cæli, et rore, atque abysso subjacente.

14 De pomis fructuum solis ac lunæ,

15 de vertice antiquorum montium,
de pomis collium æternorum:

16 et de frugibus terræ, et de plenitudine ejus.
Benedictio illius qui apparuit in rubo,
veniat super caput Joseph,
et super verticem nazaræi inter fratres suos.

17 Quasi primogeniti tauri pulchritudo ejus,
cornua rhinocerotis cornua illius:
in ipsis ventilabit gentes usque ad terminos terræ.
Hæ sunt multitudines Ephraim:
et hæc millia Manasse.]

18 Et Zabulon ait: [Lætare, Zabulon, in exitu tuo,
et Issachar in tabernaculis tuis.

19 Populos vocabunt ad montem:
ibi immolabunt victimas justitiæ.
Qui inundationem maris quasi lac sugent,
et thesauros absconditos arenarum.]

20 Et Gad ait: [Benedictus in latitudine Gad:
quasi leo requievit,
cepitque brachium et verticem.

21 Et vidit principatum suum,
quod in parte sua doctor esset repositus:
qui fuit cum principibus populi,
et fecit justitias Domini,
et judicium suum cum Israël.]

22 Dan quoque ait: [Dan catulus leonis, fluet largiter de Basan.]

23 Et Nephthali dixit: [Nephthali abundantia perfruetur,
et plenus erit benedictionibus Domini:
mare et meridiem possidebit.]

24 Aser quoque ait: [Benedictus in filiis Aser,
sit placens fratribus suis,
et tingat in oleo pedem suum:

25 ferrum et æs calceamentum ejus.
Sicut dies juventutis tuæ, ita et senectus tua.

26 Non est deus alius ut Deus rectissimi,
ascensor cæli, auxiliator tuus.
Magnificentia ejus discurrunt nubes,

27 habitaculum ejus sursum,
et subter brachia sempiterna
ejiciet a facie tua inimicum,
dicetque: Conterere.

28 Habitabit Israël confidenter, et solus.
Oculus Jacob in terra frumenti et vini,
cælique caligabunt rore.

29 Beatus es tu, Israël:
quis similis tui, popule, qui salvaris in Domino?
Scutum auxilii tui,
et gladius gloriæ tuæ:
negabunt te inimici tui,
et tu eorum colla calcabis.]
