Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
1ΚΑΙ αὕτη ἡ εὐλογία ἣν ηὐλόγησε Μωυσῆς ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸ τῆς τελευτῆς αὐτοῦ·
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.
2καὶ εἶπε· Κύριος ἐκ Σινὰ ἥκει καὶ ἐπέφανεν ἐκ Σηεὶρ ἡμῖν καὶ κατέσπευσεν ἐξ ὄρους Φαρὰν σὺν μυριάσι Κάδης, ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ ἄγγελοι μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
3Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.
3καὶ ἐφείσατο τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἡγιασμένοι ὑπὸ τὰς χεῖράς σου· καὶ οὗτοι ὑπὸ σέ εἰσι, καὶ ἐδέξατο ἀπὸ τῶν λόγων αὐτοῦ
4Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
4νόμον, ὃν ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν Μωυσῆς, κληρονομίαν συναγωγαῖς Ἰακώβ.
5He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
5καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἠγαπημένῳ ἄρχων, συναχθέντων ἀρχόντων λαῶν ἅμα φυλαῖς Ἰσραήλ.
6“Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.”
6ζήτω Ρουβὴν καὶ μὴ ἀποθανέτω καὶ ἔστω πολὺς ἐν ἀριθμῷ.
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.”
7καὶ αὕτη Ἰούδα. εἰσάκουσον, Κύριε, φωνῆς Ἰούδα, καὶ εἰς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ εἰσέλθοισαν· αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ διακρινοῦσιν αὐτῷ, καὶ βοηθὸς ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ ἔσῃ.
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.
8καὶ τῷ Λευὶ εἶπε· δότε Λευὶ δήλους αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀλήθειαν αὐτοῦ, τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁσίῳ, ὃν ἐπείρασαν αὐτὸν ἐν πείρᾳ, ἐλοιδόρησαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ὕδατος ἀντιλογίας·
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.
9ὁ λέγων τῷ πατρὶ καὶ τῇ μητρί· οὐχ ἑώρακά σε, καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐπέγνω καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἀπέγνω· ἐφύλαξε τὰ λόγιά σου καὶ τὴν διαθήκην σου διετήρησε.
10They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.
10δηλώσουσι τὰ δικαιώματά σου τῷ Ἰακὼβ καὶ τὸν νόμον σου τῷ Ἰσραήλ· ἐπιθήσουσι θυμίαμα ἐν ὀργῇ σου διὰ παντὸς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου.
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.”
11εὐλόγησον, Κύριε, τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ τά ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ δέξαι· κάταξον ὀσφὺν ἐχθρῶν ἐπανεστηκότων αὐτῷ, καὶ οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτὸν μὴ ἀναστήτωσαν.
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.”
12καὶ τῷ Βενιαμὶν εἶπεν· ἠγαπημένος ὑπὸ Κυρίου κατασκηνώσει πεποιθώς, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς σκιάζει ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ὤμων αὐτοῦ κατέπαυσε.
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,
13καὶ τῷ Ἰωσὴφ εἶπεν· ἀπ᾿ εὐλογίας Κυρίου ἡ γῆ αὐτοῦ, ἀπὸ ὡρῶν οὐρανοῦ καὶ δρόσου καὶ ἀπὸ ἀβύσσων πηγῶν κάτωθεν
14for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,
14καὶ καθ᾿ ὥραν γενημάτων ἡλίου τροπῶν καὶ ἀπὸ συνόδων μηνῶν,
15for the best things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
15ἀπὸ κορυφῆς ὀρέων ἀρχῆς καὶ ἀπὸ κορυφῆς βουνῶν ἀενάων
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.
16καὶ καθ᾿ ὥραν γῆς πληρώσεως. καὶ τὰ δεκτὰ τῷ ὀφθέντι ἐν τῇ βάτῳ ἔλθοισαν ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν Ἰωσήφ, καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφῆς δοξασθεὶς ἐπ᾿ ἀδελφοῖς.
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.”
17πρωτότοκος ταύρου τὸ κάλλος αὐτοῦ, κέρατα μονοκέρωτος τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ· ἐν αὐτοῖς ἔθνη κερατιεῖ ἅμα ἕως ἀπ᾿ ἄκρου γῆς. αὗται μυριάδες Ἐφραΐμ, καὶ αὗται χιλιάδες Μανασσῆ.
18About Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
18καὶ τῷ Ζαβουλὼν εἶπεν· εὐφράνθητι, Ζαβουλών, ἐν ἐξοδίᾳ σου καὶ Ἰσσάχαρ ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτοῦ.
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.”
19ἔθνη ἐξολοθρεύσουσι, καὶ ἐπικαλέσεσθε ἐκεῖ καὶ θύσετε ἐκεῖ θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης, ὅτι πλοῦτος θαλάσσης θηλάσει σε καὶ ἐμπόρια παράλιον κατοικούντων.
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.
20καὶ τῷ Γὰδ εἶπεν· εὐλογημένος ἐμπλατύνων Γάδ· ὡς λέων ἐνεπαύσατο, συντρίψας βραχίονα καὶ ἄρχοντα.
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.”
21καὶ εἶδεν ἀπαρχὴν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐμερίσθη γῆ ἀρχόντων συνηγμένων ἅμα ἀρχηγοῖς λαῶν· δικαιοσύνην Κύριος ἐποίησε καὶ κρίσιν αὐτοῦ μετὰ Ἰσραήλ.
22About Dan he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps out of Bashan.”
22καὶ τῷ Δὰν εἶπε· Δὰν σκύμνος λέοντος καὶ ἐκπηδήσεται ἐκ τοῦ Βασάν.
23About Naphtali he said, “Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of the LORD’s blessing, Possess the west and the south.”
23καὶ τῷ Νεφθαλὶ εἶπε· Νεφθαλὶ πλησμονὴ δεκτῶν καὶ ἐμπλησθήτω εὐλογίας παρὰ Κυρίου· θάλασσαν καὶ λίβα κληρονομήσει.
24About Asher he said, “Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.
24καὶ τῷ Ἀσὴρ εἶπεν· εὐλογημένος ἀπὸ τέκνων Ἀσὴρ καὶ ἔσται δεκτὸς τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ. βάψει ἐν ἐλαίῳ τὸν πόδα αὐτοῦ·
25Your bars will be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
25σίδηρος καὶ χαλκὸς τὸ ὑπόδημα αὐτοῦ ἔσται, ὡς αἱ ἡμέραι σου ἡ ἰσχύς σου.
26“There is no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, in his excellency on the skies.
26οὔκ ἐστιν ὥσπερ ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ ἠγαπημένου· ὁ ἐπιβαίνων ἐπὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν βοηθός σου καὶ ὁ μεγαλοπρεπὴς τοῦ στερεώματος.
27The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’
27καὶ σκεπάσει σε Θεοῦ ἀρχὴ καὶ ὑπὸ ἰσχὺ βραχιόνων ἀενάων καὶ ἐκβαλεῖ ἀπὸ προσώπου σου ἐχθρὸν λέγων· ἀπόλοιο.
28Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
28καὶ κατασκηνώσει Ἰσραὴλ πεποιθὼς μόνος ἐπὶ γῆς Ἰακώβ, ἐπὶ σίτῳ καὶ οἴνῳ, καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς αὐτῷ συνεφφὴς δρόσῳ.
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.”
29μακάριος σύ, Ἰσραήλ· τίς ὅμοιός σοι λαὸς σωζόμενος ὑπὸ Κυρίου; ὑπερασπιεῖ ὁ βοηθός σου, καὶ ἡ μάχαιρα καύχημά σου· καὶ ψεύσονταί σε οἱ ἐχθροί σου, καὶ σὺ ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν ἐπιβήσῃ.
