1 Esta es la bendición que Moisés, varón de Dios, dio al pueblo de Israel antes de morir:
1 This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
2 «El Señor vino a nosotros en el monte Sinaí, apareció desde el monte Seír; resplandeció desde el monte Parán, rodeado por diez millares de ángeles, y con fuego flameante en su mano derecha.
2 He said, “Yahweh 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.
3 ¡Cuánto ama a su pueblo! Sus santos están en sus manos. Ellos siguieron tus pasos, oh Señor; recibieron sus instrucciones de ti.
3 Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.
4 Las leyes que les he dado les son posesión muy preciosa.
4 Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
5 El Señor es rey en Jesurún, elegido por una congregación de jefes de las tribus.
5 He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6 »¡Que Rubén viva para siempre y sea su tribu numerosa!».
6 “Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.”
7 Y Moisés dijo de Judá: «Oh, Señor, escucha el lamento de Judá y únelo con Israel; pelea en favor de ellos contra sus enemigos».
7 This is for Judah. He said, “Hear, Yahweh, 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.”
8 Y entonces dijo Moisés de Leví: «Da al piadoso Leví tu urim y tu tumim. Probaste a Leví en Masá y en Meribá,
8 About 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.
9 y él obedeció tus mandamientos y destruyó a muchos pecadores, aun a sus propios hijos, hermanos, padres y madres.
9 He 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.
10 Los levitas enseñarán las leyes de Dios a Israel y trabajarán delante de ti en el altar del incienso, y en el altar del holocausto.
10 They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.
11 Oh, Señor, haz prosperar a los levitas y acepta la obra que ellos hacen para ti. Aplasta a los que son sus enemigos; y no dejes que se levanten nuevamente».
11 Yahweh, 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.”
12 Acerca de Benjamín dijo Moisés: «Es el amado del Señor y vive con seguridad cerca de él. El Señor lo rodea con sus cuidados de amor y lo preserva de todo mal».
12 About Benjamin he said, “The beloved of Yahweh will dwell in safety by him. He covers him all day long. He dwells between his shoulders.”
13 De José, dijo: «Bendiga el Señor su tierra con los dones más altos del cielo y de la tierra que pisan sus pies.
13 About Joseph he said, “His land is blessed by Yahweh, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
14 Sea bendecido con los mejores frutos que maduran al sol; enriquézcase cada mes
14 for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,
15 con las mejores cosechas de las montañas y de las laderas de las colinas.
15 for the best things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
16 Sea bendecido con los mejores dones de la tierra y su plenitud, y con el favor de Dios que se le apareció en la zarza ardiente. Que todas estas bendiciones vengan sobre José, príncipe entre sus hermanos.
16 for 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.
17 Es como un toro joven con toda su fortaleza y esplendor, con los cuernos fuertes de un búfalo para pelear contra las naciones de la tierra. Esta es mi bendición para las multitudes de Efraín y para los millares de Manasés».
17 Majesty 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.”
18 De Zabulón dijo Moisés: «Regocíjate, oh Zabulón, que amas el aire libre; e Isacar, que amas tus tiendas.
18 About Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
19 Llamarán al pueblo a que celebre sacrificios con ellos. Gustarán las riquezas del mar y los tesoros de la arena».
19 They 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.”
20 Acerca de la tribu de Gad, Moisés dijo: «Benditos los que ayudaron a Gad. Está agazapado como un león; desgarra el brazo, el rostro y la cabeza.
20 About Gad he said, “He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm and the crown of the head.
21 Escogió la mejor de las tierras para sí, porque estaba reservada para un caudillo. Él condujo al pueblo y ejecutó los mandatos y decretos de Dios para Israel».
21 He 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 Yahweh, His ordinances with Israel.”
22 De Dan, Moisés dijo: «Dan es como un cachorro de león que salta desde Basán».
22 About Dan he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps out of Bashan.”
23 De Neftalí dijo: «Oh Neftalí, estás satisfecho con todas las bendiciones del Señor. Las costas del Mediterráneo y el Néguev son tu hogar».
23 About Naphtali he said, “Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of Yahweh’s blessing, Possess the west and the south.”
24 Dijo de Aser: «Aser es hijo favorito, estimado más que sus hermanos; lava sus pies en aceite de oliva suavizante.
24 About Asher he said, “Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Seas protegido con fuertes cerrojos de hierro y bronce, y tu fortaleza sea como el largo de tus días.
25 Your bars will be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
26 »No hay como el Dios de Jesurún, desciende de los cielos con majestuoso esplendor para ayudarte.
26 “There is no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, in his excellency on the skies.
27 El Dios eterno es tu refugio, y abajo están los brazos eternos. Arroja a tus enemigos delante de ti y grita: “¡Destrúyelos!”.
27 The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’
28 Por esta razón, Israel habita confiada, prosperando en tierra de grano y de vino, mientras las lluvias suaves descienden de los cielos.
28 Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
29 ¡Qué bendiciones tienes, oh Israel! ¿Quién más ha sido salvado por el Señor? Él es tu escudo y tu ayudador, él es tu espada triunfal. Tus enemigos se inclinarán delante de ti; y tú pisarás sus espaldas».
29 You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on their high places.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Of whom Moses also says in Deuteronomy, when blessing Levi, "Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not known thee; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, and he disinherited his own sons: he kept Thy commandments, and observed Thy covenant." But who are they that have left father and mother, and have said adieu to all …
… of idols, but even to stone them; and in Deuteronomy again, admiring these, He saith, "Who said unto his father, and to his mother, I have not seen thee; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, and his own sons he disowned: he kept Thy oracles." And if Paul gives many directions touching parents, commanding us to obey them in all …

… "They mount up to heaven." Moses, blessing the tribe of Joseph, desires for it the fruits and the dews of heaven, of the suns of summer and the conjunctions of the moon, and blessings from the tops of the mountains and from the everlasting hills, in one word, from all which fertilises the earth.
