1Hæc est benedictio, qua benedixit Moyses, homo Dei, filiis Israël ante mortem suam.
1This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2Et 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.
2He said, “The LORD came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them. He shone from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
3Dilexit populos, omnes sancti in manu illius sunt: et qui appropinquant pedibus ejus, accipient de doctrina illius.
3Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.
4Legem præcepit nobis Moyses, hæreditatem multitudinis Jacob.
4Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
5Erit apud rectissimum rex, congregatis principibus populi cum tribubus Israël.
5He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6Vivat Ruben, et non moriatur, et sit parvus in numero.]
6“Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.”
7Hæc 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.]
7This is for Judah. He said, “Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah. Bring him in to his people. With his hands he contended for himself. You shall be a help against his adversaries.”
8Levi quoque ait: [Perfectio tua, et doctrina tua viro sancto tuo, quem probasti in tentatione, et judicasti ad aquas contradictionis.
8About Levi he said, “Your Thummim and your Urim are with your godly one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you contended at the waters of Meribah.
9Qui 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.
9He said of his father, and of his mother, ‘I have not seen him.’ He didn’t acknowledge his brothers, nor did he know his own children; for they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.
10Judicia tua, o Jacob, et legem tuam, o Israël: ponent thymiama in furore tuo, et holocaustum super altare tuum.
10They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.
11Benedic, Domine, fortitudini ejus: et opera manuum illius suscipe. Percute dorsa inimicorum ejus: et qui oderunt eum, non consurgant.]
11LORD, bless his skills. Accept the work of his hands. Strike through the hips of those who rise up against him, of those who hate him, that they not rise again.”
12Et Benjamin ait: [Amantissimus Domini habitabit confidenter in eo: quasi in thalamo tota die morabitur, et inter humeros illius requiescet.]
12About Benjamin he said, “The beloved of the LORD will dwell in safety by him. He covers him all day long. He dwells between his shoulders.”
13Joseph quoque ait: [De benedictione Domini terra ejus, de pomis cæli, et rore, atque abysso subjacente.
13About Joseph he said, “His land is blessed by the LORD, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
14De pomis fructuum solis ac lunæ,
14for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,
15de vertice antiquorum montium, de pomis collium æternorum:
15for the best things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
16et de frugibus terræ, et de plenitudine ejus. Benedictio illius qui apparuit in rubo, veniat super caput Joseph, et super verticem nazaræi inter fratres suos.
16for the precious things of the earth and its fullness, the good will of him who lived in the bush. Let this come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who was separated from his brothers.
17Quasi primogeniti tauri pulchritudo ejus, cornua rhinocerotis cornua illius: in ipsis ventilabit gentes usque ad terminos terræ. Hæ sunt multitudines Ephraim: et hæc millia Manasse.]
17Majesty belongs to the firstborn of his herd. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he will push all the peoples to the ends of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh.”
18Et Zabulon ait: [Lætare, Zabulon, in exitu tuo, et Issachar in tabernaculis tuis.
18About Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
19Populos vocabunt ad montem: ibi immolabunt victimas justitiæ. Qui inundationem maris quasi lac sugent, et thesauros absconditos arenarum.]
19They will call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they will draw out the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand.”
20Et Gad ait: [Benedictus in latitudine Gad: quasi leo requievit, cepitque brachium et verticem.
20About Gad he said, “He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm and the crown of the head.
21Et vidit principatum suum, quod in parte sua doctor esset repositus: qui fuit cum principibus populi, et fecit justitias Domini, et judicium suum cum Israël.]
21He provided the first part for himself, for the lawgiver’s portion was reserved for him. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of the LORD, His ordinances with Israel.”
22Dan quoque ait: [Dan catulus leonis, fluet largiter de Basan.]
22About Dan he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps out of Bashan.”
23Et Nephthali dixit: [Nephthali abundantia perfruetur, et plenus erit benedictionibus Domini: mare et meridiem possidebit.]

24About Asher he said, “Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.
25ferrum et æs calceamentum ejus. Sicut dies juventutis tuæ, ita et senectus tua.
25Your bars will be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
26Non est deus alius ut Deus rectissimi, ascensor cæli, auxiliator tuus. Magnificentia ejus discurrunt nubes,
26“There is no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, in his excellency on the skies.
27habitaculum ejus sursum, et subter brachia sempiterna ejiciet a facie tua inimicum, dicetque: Conterere.
27The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’
28Habitabit Israël confidenter, et solus. Oculus Jacob in terra frumenti et vini, cælique caligabunt rore.
28Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
29Beatus 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.]
29You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on their high places.”
