< تكوين 49 >

ثُمَّ اسْتَدْعَى يَعْقُوبُ أَبْنَاءَهُ وَقَالَ: «الْتَفُّوا حَوْلِي لأُنْبِئَكُمْ بِمَا سَيَحْدُثُ لَكُمْ فِي الأَيَّامِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ. ١ 1
And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the last days.
اجْتَمِعُوا وَاسْمَعُوا يَا أَبْنَاءَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأَصْغَوْا إِلَى إِسْرَائِيلَ أَبِيكُمْ. ٢ 2
Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
رَأُوبَيْنُ أَنْتَ بِكْرِي وَقُوَّتِي وَأَوَّلُ مَظْهَرِ رُجُولَتِي، فَضْلُ الرِّفْعَةِ وَفَضْلُ الْعِزِّ ٣ 3
Reuben, thou [art] my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
لَكِنَّكَ فَائِرٌ كَالْمَاءِ لِذَلِكَ لَنْ تَظَلَّ مُتَفَوِّقاً، لأَنَّكَ اضْطَجَعْتَ فِي فِرَاشِ أَبِيكَ. صَعِدْتَ عَلَى سَرِيرِي فَدَنَّسْتَهُ. ٤ 4
Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou [it: ] he went up to my couch.
شِمْعُونُ وَلاوِي أَخَوَانِ سُيُوفُهُمَا آلاتُ ظُلْمٍ. ٥ 5
Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty [are in] their habitations.
فَيَا نَفْسِي لَا تَدْخُلِي فِي مَجْلِسِهِمَا، وَيَا رُوحِي لَا تَنْضَمِّي إِلَى مَجْمَعِهِمَا. ٦ 6
O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
لأَنَّهُمَا فِي غَضَبِهِمَا يَقْتُلانِ النَّاسَ، وَفِي رِضَاهُمَا يُعَرْقِلانِ الثِّيرَانَ. مَلْعُونٌ سْخْطُهُمَا لأَنَّهُ عَنِيفٌ وَغَضَبُهُمَا لأَنَّهُ ضَارٍ. أُفَرِّقُهُمَا فِي يَعْقُوبَ وَأُشَتِّتُهُمَا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٧ 7
Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
يَهُوذَا، إِيَّاكَ يَحْمَدُ إِخْوَتُكَ، وَتَكُونُ يَدُكَ عَلَى عُنُقِ أَعْدَائِكَ، وَيَسْجُدُ لَكَ بَنُو أَبِيكَ. ٨ 8
Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand [shall be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.
يَهُوذَا شِبْلُ أَسَدٍ، عَنْ فَرِيسَةٍ قُمْتَ يَا ابْنِي. ثُمَّ جَثَا وَرَبَضَ كَأَسَدٍ أَوْ كَلَبْوَةٍ، فَمَنْ يَجْرُؤُ عَلَى إِثَارَتِهِ؟ ٩ 9
Judah [is] a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
لَا يَزُولُ صَوْلَجَانُ الْمُلْكِ مِنْ يَهُوذَا وَلا مُشْتَرِعٌ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ شِيلُوهُ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: مَنْ لَهُ الأَمْرُ) فَتُطِيعُهُ الشُّعُوبُ. ١٠ 10
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].
يَرْبِطُ بِالْكَرْمَةِ جَحْشَهُ، وَبِأَفْضَلِ جَفْنَةٍ ابْنَ أَتَانِهِ. بِالْخَمْرِ يَغْسِلُ لِبَاسَهُ وَبِدَمِ الْعِنَبِ ثَوْبَهُ. ١١ 11
Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
تَكُونُ عَيْنَاهُ أَشَدَّ سَوَاداً مِنَ الْخَمْرِ، وَأَسْنَانُهُ أَكْثَرَ بَيَاضاً مِنَ اللَّبَنِ. ١٢ 12
His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
زَبُولُونُ يَسْكُنُ عِنْدَ سَوَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ، وَيُصْبِحُ مَقَرُّهُ مَرْفَأً لِلسُّفُنِ، وَتَمْتَدُّ تُخُومُهُ نَحْوَ صَيْدَا ١٣ 13
Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he [shall be] for an haven of ships; and his border [shall be] unto Zidon.
يَسَّاكَرُ حِمَارٌ قَوِيٌّ رَابِضٌ بَيْنَ الْحَظَائِرِ. ١٤ 14
Issachar [is] a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
عِنْدَمَا يَرَى خُصُوبَةَ مَرْتَعِهِ وَبَهْجَةَ أَرْضِهِ، تَسْتَكِينُ كَتِفَاهُ لِلأَثْقَالِ، وَيُسْتَعْبَدُ لِلْعَمَلِ الشَّاقِ. ١٥ 15
And he saw that rest [was] good, and the land that [it was] pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
دَانٌ يَقْضِي لِشَعْبِهِ كَأَحَدِ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١٦ 16
Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
دَانٌ يَكُونُ ثُعْبَاناً عَلَى جَانِبِ الطَّرِيقِ وَأُفْعُوَاناً عَلَى السَّبِيلِ، يَلْسَعُ عَقِبَيِ الْفَرَسِ فَيَهْوِي رَاكِبُهُ إِلَى الْوَرَاءِ. ١٧ 17
Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
إِنَّنِي انْتَظَرْتُ خَلاصَكَ يَا رَبُّ. ١٨ 18
I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
جَادٌ يَقْتَحِمُهُ الْغُزَاةُ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يُطَارِدُ فُلُولَهُمْ وَيَقْحَمُهُمْ. ١٩ 19
Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
طَعَامُ أَشِيرَ دَسِمٌ، وَأَطَايبُهُ صَالِحَةٌ لِمَوَائِدِ الْمُلُوكِ. ٢٠ 20
Out of Asher his bread [shall be] fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
نَفْتَالِي غَزَالَةٌ طَلِيقَةٌ يُرَدِّدُ أَقْوَالاً جَمِيلَةً. ٢١ 21
Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
يُوسُفُ كَرْمَةٌ مُثْمِرَةٌ إِلَى جُوَارِ عَيْنٍ، تَسَلَّقَتْ أَغْصَانُهُ الْحَائِطَ. ٢٢ 22
Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
يُهَاجِمُهُ الرُّمَاةُ بِمَرَارَةٍ. وَيُطْلِقُونَ سِهَامَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِعَدَاوَةٍ. ٢٣ 23
The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him:
وَلَكِنْ قَوْسُهُ ظَلَّتْ مَتِينَةً، وَتَشَدَّدَتْ سَوَاعِدُ يَدَيْهِ بِفَضْلِ سَوَاعِدِ عَزِيزِ يَعْقُوبَ، الرَّاعِي صَخْرِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢٤ 24
But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from thence [is] the shepherd, the stone of Israel: )
بِفَضْلِ إِلَهِ أَبِيكَ الَّذِي يُعِينُكَ، بِفَضْلِ الْقَدِيرِ الَّذِي يُبَارِكُكَ بِبَرَكَاتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَبَرَكَاتِ الْغَمْرِ مِنْ تَحْتُ، وَبَرَكَاتِ الثَّدْيِ وَالرَّحِمِ. ٢٥ 25
[Even] by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
إِنَّ بَرَكَاتِ أَبِيكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِ الْجِبَالِ الدَّهْرِيَّةِ، وَأَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَخَائِرِ التِّلالِ الْقَدِيمَةِ، فَلْتَحُلَّ جَمِيعُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِكَ يَا يُوسُفُ وَعَلَى جَبِينِ الَّذِي انْفَصَلَ عَنْ إِخْوَتِهِ. ٢٦ 26
The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
بَنْيَامِينُ ذِئْبٌ ضَارٍ، يَفْتَرِسُ ضَحِيَّتَهُ فِي الصَّبَاحِ، وَيُفَرِّقُ الْغَنِيمَةَ فِي الْمَسَاءِ». ٢٧ 27
Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
هَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعاً هُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ. وَهَذَا مَا خَاطَبَهُمْ بِهِ أَبُوهُمْ وَبَارَكَهُمْ؛ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ بِالْبَرَكَةِ الْمُنَاسِبَةِ لَهُ. ٢٨ 28
All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this [is it] that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
ثُمَّ أَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: «قَرِيباً أَنْضَمُّ إِلَى آبَائِي، فَادْفِنُونِي إِلَى جُوَارِهِمْ فِي مَغَارَةِ حَقْلِ عِفْرُونَ الْحِثِّيِّ. ٢٩ 29
And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that [is] in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
الَّتِي فِي حَقْلِ الْمَكْفِيلَةِ الْمُوَاجِهَةِ لِمَمْرَا فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ، الَّتِي اشْتَرَاهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَعَ الْحَقْلِ مِنْ عِفْرُونَ الْحِثِّيِّ لِتَكُونَ مَدْفَناً خَاصّاً. ٣٠ 30
In the cave that [is] in the field of Machpelah, which [is] before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
فِيهَا دُفِنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَزَوْجَتُهُ سَارَةُ، ثُمَّ إِسْحاقُ وَزَوْجَتُهُ رِفْقَةُ، وَأَيْضاً دَفَنْتُ لَيْئَةَ. ٣١ 31
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
وَقَدِ اشْتَرَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْحَقْلَ وَالْمَغَارَةَ الَّتِي فِيهِ مِنَ الْحِثِّيِّينَ.» ٣٢ 32
The purchase of the field and of the cave that [is] therein [was] from the children of Heth.
وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ تَوْصِيَةِ أَبْنَائِهِ تَمَدَّدَ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ، وَضَمَّ رِجْلَيْهِ مَعاً، ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ رُوحَهُ وَلَحِقَ بِآبَائِهِ. ٣٣ 33
And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
