1 ه َذِهِ هِيَ البَرَكَةُ الَّتِي أعطاها مُوسَى، رَجُلُ اللهِ، لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ قَبلَ مَوتِهِ.

Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

2 ق الَ: «أتَى اللهُ مِنْ سِيناءَ، وَأشرَقَ عَلَينا كَالشَّمسِ مِنْ سَعِيرَ، أشرَقَ مِنْ جَبَلِ فارانَ، وَمَعَهُ عَشَراتُ الأُلُوفِ مِنْ قِدِّيسِيهِ، وَجُنُودُهُ الأقوِياءُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ.

And he said: “The Lord came from Sinai, And dawned on them from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran, And He came with ten thousands of saints; From His right hand Came a fiery law for them.

3 ح َقّاً قَدْ أحبَبْتَ الشُّعُوبَ، وَجَمِيعُ أبْنائِهِمُ المُقَدَّسينَ فِي يَدِكَ. يَنحَنُونَ عِندَ قَدَمَيكَ، وَيُصْغُونَ إلَى كَلامِكَ.

Yes, He loves the people; All His saints are in Your hand; They sit down at Your feet; Everyone receives Your words.

4 ق َدْ أعطانا مُوسَى الشَّرِيعَةَ مُلْكاً لِشَعبِ يَعقُوبَ.

Moses commanded a law for us, A heritage of the congregation of Jacob.

5 ث ُمَّ صارَ اللهُ مَلِكاً فِي يَشُورُونَ، حِينَ اجتَمَعَ قادَةُ الشَّعبِ مَعاً. بَرَكَةُ رَأُوبَيْن

And He was King in Jeshurun, When the leaders of the people were gathered, All the tribes of Israel together.

6 « لِيَحيَ رَأُوبَيْنُ وَلا يَمُتْ، ولا يَكُنْ رِجالُهُ قَلِيلينَ. بَرَكَةُ يَهُوذا

“Let Reuben live, and not die, Nor let his men be few.”

7 و َقالَ مُوسَى عَنْ قَبِيلَةِ يَهُوذا: «يا اللهُ استَمِعْ إلَى صَرخَةِ يَهُوذا، وَأحضِرْهُ إلَى شَعبِهِ. بِيَدَيهِ دافَعَ عَنْ نَفسِهِ، وَأنتَ سَتُعِينُهُ عَلَى أعدائِهِ.» بَرَكَةُ لاوِي

And this he said of Judah: “Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, And bring him to his people; Let his hands be sufficient for him, And may You be a help against his enemies.”

8 و َقالَ مُوسَى عَنْ قَبِيلَةِ لاوِي: «أعطِ لاوِي تُمِّيمَكَ، وَأعطِ أُورِيمَكَ لِتابِعِكَ الأمِينِ. الَّذِي جَرَّبْتَهُ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ مَسَّةَ، وَتَحَدَّيتَهُ عِندَ مِياهِ مَرِيبَةَ.

And of Levi he said: “ Let Your Thummim and Your Urim be with Your holy one, Whom You tested at Massah, And with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah,

9 ق الَ عَنْ أُمِّهِ وَأبِيهِ: ‹لا أعرِفُهُما.› لَمْ يَعتَرِفْ بِأخِيهِ، وَتَجاهَلَ أولادَهُ. وَأطاعُوا كَلِمَتَكَ، وَحَفِظُوا عَهْدَكَ.

Who says of his father and mother, ‘I have not seen them’; Nor did he acknowledge his brothers, Or know his own children; For they have observed Your word And kept Your covenant.

10 س َيُعَلِّمُونَ فَرائِضَكَ لِيَعقُوبَ، وَشَرِيعَتَكَ لإسْرائِيلَ. وَيَضَعُونَ بَخُوراً أمامَكَ، وَذَبائِحَ صاعِدَةً عَلَى مَذْبَحِكَ.

They shall teach Jacob Your judgments, And Israel Your law. They shall put incense before You, And a whole burnt sacrifice on Your altar.

11 « بارِكْ يا اللهُ ثَرْوَتَهُ، وَارضَ عَنْ ما يَعْمَلُهُ. اهزِمِ الَّذِينَ يُهاجِمُونَهُ وَالَّذِينَ يُبغِضُونَهُ، فَلا يُهاجِمُوهُ ثانِيَةً.» بَرَكَةُ بَنْيامِيْن

Bless his substance, Lord, And accept the work of his hands; Strike the loins of those who rise against him, And of those who hate him, that they rise not again.”

12 و َقالَ مُوسَى عَنْ قَبِيلَةِ بَنْيامِيْنَ: «حَبيبُ اللهِ يَسْكُنُ بِأمانٍ عِنْدَهُ. يُحيطُ بِهِ كُلَّ الوَقتِ، وَيَسكُنُ اللهُ بَينَ كَتِفَيهِ.» بَرَكَةُ يُوسُف

Of Benjamin he said: “The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him, Who shelters him all the day long; And he shall dwell between His shoulders.”

13 و َقالَ مُوسَى عَنْ قَبيلَةِ يُوسُفَ: «لِيُبارِكِ اللهُ أرْضَ يُوسُفَ بِأفضَلِ هِباتِ السَّماءِ مِنْ فَوقُ، وَأفضَلِ هِباتِ الماءِ مِنْ تَحتِ الأرْضِ،

And of Joseph he said: “Blessed of the Lord is his land, With the precious things of heaven, with the dew, And the deep lying beneath,

14 و َأفضَلِ غَلّاتِ الشَّمسِ، وَأفضَلِ إنتاجِ القَمَرِ،

With the precious fruits of the sun, With the precious produce of the months,

15 و َأفضَلِ ما فِي الجِبالِ القَدِيمَةِ، وَأفضَلِ ما تُنْتِجُهُ التِّلالُ العَتِيقَةُ،

With the best things of the ancient mountains, With the precious things of the everlasting hills,

16 و َأفضَلِ هِباتِ الأرْضِ وَكُلِّ ما فِيها، وَبِرِضَى السّاكِنِ فِي الشُّجيرَةِ المُشتَعِلَةِ. «لِتَحِلَّ هَذِهِ البَرَكاتُ عَلَى رَأْسِ يُوسُفَ، عَلَى جَبِينِ الرَّئِيسِ بِينَ إخْوَتِهِ.

With the precious things of the earth and its fullness, And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush. Let the blessing come ‘on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.’

17 إ نَّهُ ثَورٌ بِكْرٌ قَوِيٌّ! إنَّهُ جَلِيلٌ! وَقُرُونُهُ قُرُونُ ثَورٍ بَرِّيٍّ. بِقُرُونِهِ يَنطَحُ الشُّعُوبَ، حَتَّى أُولَئِكَ الَّذينَ فِي أقاصِي الأرْضِ. هَذِهِ القُرُونُ هِيَ عَشَراتُ أُلُوفِ أفْرايِمَ وَآلافُ مَنَسَّى.» بَرَكَةُ زَبُولُونَ وَيَسّاكَر

His glory is like a firstborn bull, And his horns like the horns of the wild ox; Together with them He shall push the peoples To the ends of the earth; They are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

18 و َقالَ مُوسَى عَنْ قَبيلَتي زَبُولُونَ وَيَسّاكَرَ: «كُنْ سَعِيداً يا زَبُولُونَ فِي رَحَلاتِكَ، وَأنتَ يا يَسّاكَرَ فِي خَيمَتِكَ.

And of Zebulun he said: “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, And Issachar in your tents!

19 س َيَدعُوانِ الشُّعُوبَ إلَى الجَبَلِ، وَهُناكَ سَيُقَدِّمانِ الذَّبائِحَ المُناسِبَةَ. لِأنَّهُما سَيَأْخُذانِ غِنَى البَحْرِ وَكُنُوزَ رِمالِ البَحرِ المَخْفِيَّةَ.» بَرَكَةُ جاد

They shall call the peoples to the mountain; There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness; For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas And of treasures hidden in the sand.”

20 و َقالَ مُوسَى عَنْ قَبِيلَةِ جادَ: «مُبارَكٌ الَّذِي يُوَسِّعُ أرْضَ جادَ! فَهُوَ يَربِضُ كَأسَدٍ وَيَنتَظِرُ، ثُمَّ يُمَزِّقُ الذِّراعَ وَالرَّأْسَ.

And of Gad he said: “Blessed is he who enlarges Gad; He dwells as a lion, And tears the arm and the crown of his head.

21 ا خْتارَ أفضَلَ جُزْءٍ لَهُ، فَقَدْ كانَتْ هُناكَ حِصَّةُ قائِدٍ مَحفُوظَةٌ لَهُ. أتَى كَقائِدٍ لِلجُيُوشِ، وَعَمِلَ الصَّلاحَ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ ، وَأطاعَ فَرائِضَ اللهِ الَّتِي لإسْرائِيلَ.» بَرَكَةُ دان

He provided the first part for himself, Because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there. He came with the heads of the people; He administered the justice of the Lord, And His judgments with Israel.”

22 و َقالَ مُوسَى عَنْ قَبِيلَةِ دانَ: «دانُ يُشْبِهُ شِبلَ أسَدٍ يَثِبُ مِنْ باشانَ.» بَرَكَةُ نَفْتالِي

And of Dan he said: “Dan is a lion’s whelp; He shall leap from Bashan.”

23 و َقالَ مُوسَى عَنْ قَبِيلَةِ نَفْتالِي: «يا نَفْتالِي الشَّبْعانُ مِنْ نِعمَةِ اللهِ ، المَملُوءُ بِبَرَكَةِ اللهِ ، مُلْكُكَ مِنَ الحُدُودِ الشَّماليَةِ حَتَّى البُحَيرَةِ فِي الجَنُوبِ.» بَرَكَةُ أشِير

And of Naphtali he said: “O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, And full of the blessing of the Lord, Possess the west and the south.”

24 و َقالَ مُوسَى عَنْ قَبِيلَةِ أشِيرَ: «لِيَكُنْ أشِيرُ أكثَرَ البَنِينِ بَرَكَةً، وَلِيَكُنْ أكْثَرَ واحِدٍ مَرضِيّاً عَنْهُ مِنْ بَينِ إخْوَتِهِ، وَلْيَغْمِسْ رِجلَيهِ بِالزَّيتِ.

And of Asher he said: “Asher is most blessed of sons; Let him be favored by his brothers, And let him dip his foot in oil.

25 ل ِتَكُنْ أقْفالُ بَوّاباتِكَ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَنُحاسِ، وَلْتَكُنْ قَوِيّاً طَوالَ حَياتِكَ.» تَسْبِيحَةٌ لله

Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; As your days, so shall your strength be.

26 « لا يُوجَدُ أحَدٌ مِثلُ اللهِ يا يَشُورُونُ، الَّذِي يَركَبُ فِي السَّماواتِ لِيُساعِدَكَ، وَيَركَبُ السَّحابَ فِي جَلالِهِ.

“ There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to help you, And in His excellency on the clouds.

27 ا لإلَهُ الأزَلِيُّ مَلْجَأٌ، وَأذْرُعُ الأزَلِيِّ سَتَرفَعُكَ. طَرَدَ العَدُوَّ مِنْ أمامِكَ، وَقالَ: ‹دَمِّرْهُمْ!›

The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you, And will say, ‘Destroy!’

28 ل ِذا سَيَسكُنُ إسْرائِيلُ فِي أمانٍ، سَيَسكُنُ يَعْقُوبُ فِي سَلامٍ فِي أرْضِ قَمحٍ وَنَبيذٍ، حَيثُ تُعطِي السَّماءُ مَطَراً.

Then Israel shall dwell in safety, The fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine; His heavens shall also drop dew.

29 ه َنِيئاً لَكَ يا إسْرائِيلُ! مَنْ مِثلُكَ يا شَعباً يُنقِذُهُ اللهُ ؟ اللهُ هُوَ التُّرْسُ الَّذِي يَحمِيكَ وَالسَّيفُ الَّذِي يُعطِيكَ نَصْرَةً. سَيَأتِي أعداؤُكَ مُرتَجِفِينَ خَوفاً مِنكَ، وَأنتَ سَتَدُوسُ ظُهُورَهُمْ.»

Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, The shield of your help And the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall submit to you, And you shall tread down their high places.”
