1 وهذه هي البركة التي بارك بها موسى رجل الله بني اسرائيل قبل موته2 فقال. جاء الرب من سيناء واشرق لهم من سعير وتلألأ من جبل فاران وأتى من ربوات القدس وعن يمينه نار شريعة لهم.3 فاحب الشعب. جميع قديسيه في يدك وهم جالسون عند قدمك يتقبلون من اقوالك.4 بناموس اوصانا موسى ميراثا لجماعة يعقوب.5 وكان في يشورون ملكا حين اجتمع رؤساء الشعب اسباط اسرائيل معا.6 ليحي رأوبين ولا يمت ولا يكن رجاله قليلين7 وهذه عن يهوذا. قال اسمع يا رب صوت يهوذا وأت به الى قومه. بيديه يقاتل لنفسه فكن عونا على اضداده8 وللاوي قال تميمك وأوريمك لرجلك الصدّيق الذي جربته في مسّة وخاصمته عند ماء مريبة.9 الذي قال عن ابيه وامه لم ارهما وباخوته لم يعترف واولاده لم يعرف بل حفظوا كلامك وصانوا عهدك.10 يعلمون يعقوب احكامك واسرائيل ناموسك. يضعون بخورا في انفك ومحرقات على مذبحك.11 بارك يا رب قوته وارتض بعمل يديه. احطم متون مقاوميه ومبغضيه حتى لا يقوموا12 ولبنيامين قال حبيب الرب يسكن لديه آمنا. يستره طول النهار وبين منكبيه يسكن13 وليوسف قال. مباركة من الرب ارضه بنفائس السماء بالندى وباللجّة الرابضة تحت14 ونفائس مغلات الشمس ونفائس منبتات الاقمار.15 ومن مفاخر الجبال القديمة ومن نفائس الآكام الابدية16 ومن نفائس الارض وملئها ورضى الساكن في العليقة. فلتأت على راس يوسف وعلى قمّة نذير اخوته.17 بكر ثوره زينة له وقرناه قرنا رئم بهما ينطح الشعوب معا الى اقاصي الارض. هما ربوات افرايم والوف منسّى18 ولزبولون قال. افرح يا زبولون بخروجك وانت يا يساكر بخيامك.19 الى الجبل يدعوان القبائل. هناك يذبحان ذبائح البر لانهما يرتضعان من فيض البحار وذخائر مطمورة في الرمل20 ولجاد قال. مبارك الذي وسع جاد كلبوة سكن وافترس الذراع مع قمة الراس.21 ورأى الاول لنفسه لانه هناك قسم من الشارع محفوظا فأتى راسا للشعب يعمل حق الرب واحكامه مع اسرائيل22 ولدان قال. دان شبل اسد يثب من باشان.23 ولنفتالي قال. يا نفتالي اشبع رضى وامتلئ بركة من الرب واملك الغرب والجنوب24 ولاشير قال. مبارك من البنين اشير. ليكن مقبولا من اخوته ويغمس في الزيت رجله.25 حديد ونحاس مزاليجك وكايامك راحتك26 ليس مثل الله يا يشورون. يركب السماء في معونتك والغمام في عظمته.27 الاله القديم ملجأ والاذرع الابدية من تحت. فطرد من قدامك العدو وقال أهلك.28 فيسكن اسرائيل آمنا وحده. تكون عين يعقوب الى ارض حنطة وخمر وسماؤه تقطر ندى.29 طوباك يا اسرائيل. من مثلك يا شعبا منصورا بالرب ترس عونك وسيف عظمتك. فيتذلل لك اعداؤك وانت تطأ مرتفعاتهم

1 And this is the blessing, with which 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 to 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 Yes, he loved the people; all his saints are in your hand: and they sat down at your feet; every one shall receive of your 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 to his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be you an help to him from his enemies.8 And of Levi he said, Let your Thummim and your Urim be with your holy one, whom you did prove at Massah, and with whom you did strive at the waters of Meribah;9 Who said to his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor knew his own children: for they have observed your word, and kept your covenant.10 They shall teach Jacob your judgments, and Israel your law: they shall put incense before you, and whole burnt sacrifice on your 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 fullness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelled in the bush: let the blessing come on the head of Joseph, and on the top of the head of him that was separated from his brothers.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 your going out; and, Issachar, in your tents.19 They shall call the people to 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 enlarges Gad: he dwells as a lion, and tears 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' whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.23 And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess you the west and the south.24 And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.25 Your shoes shall be iron and brass; and as your days, so shall your strength be.26 There is none like to the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heaven in your help, and in his excellency on the sky.27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before you; and shall say, Destroy them.28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be on a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.29 Happy are you, O Israel: who is like to you, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, and who is the sword of your excellency! and your enemies shall be found liars to you; and you shall tread on their high places.
