| 1 | This is the blessing, wherewith the man of God Moses blessed the children of Israel, before his death. | Καὶ αὕτη ἡ εὐλογία ἣν ηὐλόγησε Μωυσῆς ἄνθρωπος τοῦ Θεοῦ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ πρὸ τῆς τελευτῆς αὐτοῦ. |
| 2 | And he said: The Lord came from Sinai, and from Seir he rose up to us: he hath appeared from mount Pharan, and with him thousands of saints. In his right hand a fiery law. | Καὶ εἶπε, Κύριος ἐκ Σινὰ ἥκει, καὶ ἐπέφανεν ἐκ Σηεὶρ ἡμῖν, καὶ κατέσπευσεν ἐξ ὄρους Φαρὰν, σὺν μυρίασι Κάδης, ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ ἄγγελοι μετʼ αὐτοῦ. |
| 3 | He hath loved the people, all the saints are in his hand: and they that approach to his feet, shall receive of his doctrine. | Καὶ ἐφείσατο τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἡγιασμένοι ὑπὸ τὰς χεῖράς σου· καὶ οὗτοι ὑπὸ σέ εἰσί· καὶ ἐδέξατο ἀπὸ τῶν λόγων αὐτοῦ |
| 4 | Moses commanded us a law, the inheritance of the multitude of Jacob. | νόμον, ὃν ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν Μωυσῆς, κληρονομίαν συναγωγαῖς Ἰακώβ. |
| 5 | He shall be king with the most right, the princes of the people being assembled with the tribes of Israel. | Καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ ἠγαπημένῳ ἄρχων, συναχθέντων ἀρχόντων λαῶν ἅμα φυλαῖς Ἰσραήλ. |
| 6 | Let Ruben live, and not die, and be he small in number. | Ζήτω Ῥουβὴν, καὶ μὴ ἀποθανέτω, καὶ ἔστω πολὺς ἐν ἀριθμῷ. |
| 7 | This is the blessing of Juda. Hear, O Lord, the voice of Juda, and bring him in unto his people: his hands shall fight for him, and he shall be his helper against his enemies. | Καὶ αὕτη Ἰούδα· εἰσάκουσον Κύριε φωνῆς Ἰούδα, καὶ εἰς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἔλθοις ἄν· αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ διακρινοῦσιν αὐτῷ, καὶ βοηθὸς ἐκ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ἔσῃ. |
| 8 | To Levi also he said: Thy perfection, and thy doctrine be to thy holy man, whom thou hast proved in the temptation, and judged at the waters of contradiction: | Καὶ τῷ Λευὶ εἶπε, δότε Λευὶ δήλους αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀλήθειαν αὐτοῦ τῷ ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁσίῳ, ὃν ἐπείρασαν αὐτὸν ἐν πείρᾳ· ἐλοιδόρησαν αὐτὸν ἐφʼ ὕδατος ἀντιλογίας· |
| 9 | Who hath said to his father, and to his mother: I do not know you; and to his brethren: I know you not: and their own children they have not known. These have kept thy word, and observed thy covenant, | Ὁ λέγων τῷ πατρὶ καὶ τῇ μητρὶ, οὐχ ἑώρακά σε, καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἐπέγνω, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἀπέγνω· ἐφύλαξε τὰ λόγιά σου, καὶ τὴν διαθήκην σου διετήρησε. |
| 10 | Thy judgments, O Jacob, and thy law, O Israel: they shall put incense in thy wrath and holocaust upon thy altar. | Δηλώσουσι τὰ δικαιώματά σου τῷ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ τὸν νόμον σου τῷ Ἰσραήλ· ἐπιθήσουσι θυμίαμα ἐν ὀργῇ σου διαπαντὸς ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριόν σου. |
| 11 | Bless, O Lord, his strength, and receive the works of his hands. Strike the backs of his enemies, and let not them that hate him rise. | Εὐλόγησον, Κύριε, τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ δέξαι· κάταξον ὀσφῦν ἐχθρῶν ἐπανεστηκότων αὐτῷ, καὶ οἱ μισοῦντες αὐτὸν μὴ ἀναστήτωσαν. |
| 12 | And to Benjamin he said: The best beloved of the Lord shall dwell confidently in him: as in a bride chamber shall he abide all the day long, and between his shoulders shall be rest. | Καὶ τῷ Βενιαμὶν εἶπεν, ἠγαπημένος ὑπὸ Κυρίου κατασκηνώσει πεποιθὼς, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς σκιάζει ἐπʼ αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας, καὶ ἀναμέσον τῶν ὤμων αὐτοῦ κατέπαυσε. |
| 13 | To Joseph also he said: Of the blessing of the Lord be his land, of the fruits of heaven, and of the dew, and of the deep that lieth beneath. | Καὶ τῷ Ἰωσὴφ εἶπεν, ἀπʼ εὐλογίας Κύριου ἡ γῆ αὐτοῦ, ἀπὸ ὡρῶν οὐρανοῦ, καὶ δρόσου, καὶ ἀπὸ ἀβύσσων πηγῶν κάτωθεν, |
| 14 | Of the fruits brought forth by the sun and by the moon. | καὶ καθʼ ὥραν γεννημάτων ἡλίου τροπῶν, καὶ ἀπὸ συνόδων μηνῶν, |
| 15 | Of the tops of the ancient mountains, of the fruits of the everlasting hills: | ἀπὸ κορυφῆς ὀρέων ἀρχῆς, καὶ ἀπὸ κορυφῆς βουνῶν ἀενάων, |
| 16 | And of the fruits of the earth, and of the fulness thereof. The blessing of him that appeared in the bush, come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the Nazarite among his brethren. | καὶ καθʼ ὥραν γῆς πληρώσεως· καὶ τὰ δεκτὰ τῷ ὀφθέντι ἐν τῇ βάτῳ ἔλθοισαν ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν Ἰωσὴφ, καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφῆς δοξασθεὶς ἐπʼ ἀδελφοῖς. |
| 17 | His beauty as of the firstling of a bullock, his horns as the horns of a rhinoceros: with them shall he push the nations even to the ends of the earth These are the multitudes of Ephraim and these the thousands of Manasses. | Πρωτότοκος ταύρου τὸ κάλλος αὐτοῦ, κέρατα μονοκέρωτος τὰ κέρατα αὐτοῦ· ἐν αὐτοῖς ἔθνη κερατιεῖ ἅμα, ἕως ἀπʼ ἄκρου γῆς· αὗται μυρίαδες Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ αὗται χιλιάδες Μανασσῆ. |
| 18 | And to Zabulon he said: Rejoice, O Zabulon, in thy going out; and Issachar in thy tabernacles. | Καὶ τῷ Ζαβουλὼν εἶπεν, εὐφράνθητι Ζαβουλὼν ἐν ἐξοδίᾳ σου, καὶ Ἰσσάχαρ ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτοῦ. |
| 19 | They shall call the people to the mountain: there shall they sacrifice the victims of justice. Who shall suck as milk the abundance of the sea, and the hidden treasures of the sands. | Ἔθνη ἐξολοθρεύσουσι· καὶ ἐπικαλέσεσθε ἐκεῖ, καὶ θύσετε ἐκεῖ θυσίαν δικαιοσύνης· ὅτι πλοῦτος θαλάσσης θηλάσει σε, καὶ ἐμπόρια παράλιον κατοικούντων. |
| 20 | And to Gad he said: Blessed be Gad in his breadth: he hath rested as a lion, and hath seized upon the arm and the top of the head. | Καὶ τῷ Γὰδ εἶπεν, εὐλογημένος ἐμπλατύνων Γάδ· ὡς λέων ἐνεπαύσατο, συντρίψας βραχίονα καὶ ἄρχοντα. |
| 21 | And he saw his pre-eminence, that in his portion the teacher was laid up: who was with the princes of the people, and did the justices of the Lord, and his judgment with Israel. | Καὶ εἶδεν ἀπαρχὴν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐμερίσθη γῆ ἀρχόντων συνηγμένων ἅμα ἀρχηγοῖς λαῶν· δικαιοσύνην Κύριος ἐποίησε, καὶ κρίσιν αὐτοῦ μετὰ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 22 | To Dan also he said: Dan is a young lion, he shall flow plentifully from Basan. | Καὶ τῷ Δὰν εἶπε, Δὰν σκύμνος λέοντος, καὶ ἐκπηδήσεται ἐκ τοῦ Βασάν. |
| 23 | And to Nephtali he said: Nephtali shall enjoy abundance, and shall be full of the blessings of the Lord: he shall possess the sea and the south. | Καὶ τῷ Νεφθαλὶ εἶπε, Νεφθαλὶ πλησμονὴ δεκτῶν· καὶ ἐμπλησθήτω εὐλογία παρὰ Κυρίου· θάλασσαν καὶ Λίβα κληρονομήσει. |
| 24 | To Aser also he said: Let Aser be blessed with children, let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. | Καὶ τῷ Ἀσὴρ εἶπεν, εὐλογημένος ἀπὸ τέκνων Ἀσήρ, καὶ ἔσται δεκτὸς τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ· βάψει ἐν ἐλαίῳ τὸν πόδα αὐτοῦ. |
| 25 | His shoe shall be iron and brass. As the days of thy youth, so also shall thy old age be. | Σίδηρος καὶ χαλκὸς τὸ ὑπόδημα αὐτοῦ ἔσται· ὡς αἱ ἡμέραι σου, ἡ ἰσχύς σου. |
| 26 | There is no other God like the God of the rightest: he that is mounted upon the heaven is thy helper. By his magnificence the clouds run hither and thither. | Οὐκ ἔστιν ὥσπερ ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ ἠγαπημένου, ὁ ἐπιβαίνων ἐπὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν βοηθός σου, καὶ ὁ μεγαλοπρεπὴς τοῦ στερεώματος. |
| 27 | His dwelling is above, and underneath are the everlasting arms: he shall cast out the enemy from before thee, and shall say: Be thou brought to nought. | Καὶ σκεπάσει σε Θεοῦ ἀρχὴ, καὶ ὑπὸ ἰσχὺν βραχιόνων ἀενάων· καὶ ἐκβαλεῖ ἀπὸ προσώπου σου ἐχθρὸν, λέγων, ἀπόλοιο. |
| 28 | Israel shall dwell in safety, and alone. The eye of Jacob in a land of corn and wine, and the heavens shall be misty with dew. | Καὶ κατασκηνώσει Ἰσραὴλ πεποιθὼς, μόνος ἐπὶ γῆς Ἰακὼβ, ἐπὶ σίτῳ καὶ οἴνῳ· καὶ ὁ οὐρανός σοι συννεφὴς δρόσῳ. |
| 29 | Blessed are thou, Israel: who is like to thee, O people, that art saved by the Lord? the shield of thy help, and the sword of thy glory: thy enemies shall deny thee, and thou shalt tread upon their necks. | Μακάριος σὺ 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. |
