And this is the blessing with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of Israel before his death.
以下是神人摩西死前为以色列人所祝的福：

And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai, / And He dawned upon them from Seir; / He shined forth from Mount Paran, / And He approached from the myriads of holy ones; / From His right hand a fiery law went out to them.
他说，耶和华从西乃而来，从西珥向他们如晨光显现，从巴兰山发出光辉，从千万圣者中来临，从祂右手为百姓传出烈火的律法。

Indeed, He loves the people. / All His saints were in Your hand, / And they sat down at Your feet; / Everyone receives of Your words.
祂疼爱百姓。众圣徒都在你手中；他们坐在你的脚前，领受你的言语。

Moses commanded us a law, / A possession of the congregation of Jacob.
摩西将律法吩咐我们，作为雅各会众的产业。

And He was King in Jeshurun, / When the heads of the people gathered themselves, / The tribes of Israel together.
百姓的众首领，以色列的各支派，一同聚集的时候，耶和华在耶书仑中为王。

May Reuben live and not die, / Nor his men be few.
愿流便存活，不至死亡；愿他人数不至稀少。

And this is the blessing concerning Judah; and he said, Hear, O Jehovah, the voice of Judah, / And bring him to his people. / With his hands he contended for them; / And may You be a help against his adversaries.
论犹大，他这样祝福说，耶和华啊，求你听犹大的声音，领他归于本族；他曾用手为他们争斗，愿你帮助他攻击敌人。

And concerning Levi he said, May Your Thummim and Urim be with Your faithful man, / Whom You tested at Massah, / With whom You contended at the waters of Meribah —
论利未说，耶和华啊，愿你的土明和乌陵都在你的虔诚人那里；你在玛撒曾试验他，在米利巴水曾与他争论。

He who said of his father and mother, / I do not regard him; / And his brothers he did not acknowledge, / And his children he did not recognize; / For they have kept Your speaking / And have guarded Your covenant.
他论自己的父母说，我没有看见；他不承认自己的弟兄，也不认识自己的儿女；这是因利未人谨守你的话，护卫你的约。

They shall show Jacob Your ordinances, / And Israel Your law; / They shall put incense before Your nostrils / And whole burnt offerings upon Your altar.
他们要将你的典章指教雅各，将你的律法指教以色列；他们要把香焚在你面前，把全牲的燔祭献在你的坛上。

Bless, O Jehovah, his might, / And the work of his hands accept; / Wound thoroughly the loins of those who rise up against him / And of those who hate him, that they may not rise up again.
耶和华啊，求你赐福给他的能力，悦纳他手中的工作；那些起来攻击他和恨恶他的人，愿你刺透他们的腰，使他们不得再起来。

Concerning Benjamin he said, The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell securely beside Him; / Jehovah shall cover over him all the day, / And He shall dwell between his shoulders.
论便雅悯说，耶和华所亲爱的，必在耶和华旁边安然居住；耶和华必终日遮蔽他，也住在他两肩之中。

And concerning Joseph he said, May his land be blessed of Jehovah / With the choicest things of heaven, with the dew / And with the deep waters that couch beneath;
论约瑟说，愿他的地蒙耶和华赐福，得天上的宝物、甘露以及地下所藏的泉源；

With the choicest of the crops of the sun, / And with the choicest of the yield of the moons;
得太阳所晒熟的美果，月亮所养成的宝物；

With the top of the ancient mountains, / And with the choicest things of the eternal hills;
得上古之山的至宝，永世之岭的宝物；

With the choicest things of the earth, and the fullness thereof, / And the favor of Him who dwelt in the thornbush. / May they come upon the head of Joseph, / And upon the top of the head of him who is separated among his brothers.
得地和其中所充满的宝物，并住在荆棘中者的喜悦。愿这些福都临到约瑟的头上，临到那与弟兄迥别之人的顶上。

Like his firstborn ox, he has majesty; / And his horns are the horns of the wild ox; / With them he shall drive peoples / To the ends of the earth together. / Those are the ten thousands of Ephraim; / And those the thousands of Manasseh.
他像头生的公牛，有威严；他的角是野牛的角，用以抵触万民，直到地极。这角是以法莲的万万，玛拿西的千千。

And concerning Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, for your going forth, / And Issachar, for your tents!
论西布伦说，西布伦哪，你出外可以欢喜；以萨迦啊，你在帐棚里可以快乐！

They shall call peoples to the mountain; / There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness; / For they shall suck the abundance of the seas / And the hidden treasures of the sand.
他们要将万民召到山上，在那里献公义的祭；因为他们要吸取海里的丰富，并沙中所藏的珍宝。

And concerning Gad he said, Blessed be He who enlarges Gad. / He dwells as a lioness, / And tears off the arm, yea, even the top of the head.
论迦得说，使迦得扩张的当受颂赞。迦得住如母狮；他撕裂膀臂，连头顶也撕裂了。

And he provided the first part for himself, / For there the portion of a lawgiver is reserved; / And he came with the heads of the people; / He executed the righteousness of Jehovah / And His judgments with Israel.
他为自己选择了头一段地，因在那里有设立律法者的分存留。他与百姓的首领同来；他施行耶和华的公义，并耶和华与以色列所立的典章。

And concerning Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp / That leaps forth from Bashan.
论但说，但为小狮子，从巴珊跳出来。

And concerning Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, / And full of the blessing of Jehovah: / Possess the sea and the south.
论拿弗他利说，拿弗他利啊，你饱受恩惠，满得耶和华的福，可以得海和南方为业。

And concerning Asher he said, Blessed be Asher above the sons. / May he be the one favored of his brothers, / And the one dipping his foot in oil.
论亚设说，愿亚设蒙福胜过众子，得他弟兄们的喜悦，愿他的脚蘸在油中。

Your doorbolts shall be iron and copper; / And as your days are, so shall your strength be.
你的门闩是铁的，是铜的；你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。

There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, / Who rides through the heavens as your help / And in His majesty through the skies.
没有谁像耶书仑的神，祂驾行诸天，作你的帮助；横越穹苍，显祂的威荣。

The God of old is your habitation, / And underneath are eternal arms. / And He drove out the enemy before you / And said, Destroy!
亘古的神是你的居所；祂永远的膀臂在你以下。祂在你前面撵出仇敌，说，毁灭吧！

So Israel dwelt securely, / The fountain of Jacob in solitude, / On a land of grain and new wine; / And the heavens over him drop their dew.
故此以色列安然居住；雅各的泉源独居五谷新酒之地，他的天也滴甘露。

Happy are you, O Israel; who is like you? / A people saved by Jehovah, / The shield of your help / And He who is the sword of your majesty! / So your enemies shall come cringing to you, / And you shall tread upon their high places.
以色列啊，你是有福的；谁像你这蒙耶和华拯救的百姓呢？祂是帮助你的盾牌，是使你得威荣的刀剑！你的仇敌必投降你；你必踏在他们的高处。
