Postanak 49
1 Jakov zatim sazva svoje sinove te reče: “Skupite se da vam kažem što će vas snaći u kasnije vrijeme:
And Jacob called his sons, and said to them,
2 Okupite se, čujte, sinovi Jakovljevi, čujte oca svoga Izraela!
Assemble yourselves, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear me, sons of Jacob; hear Israel, hear your father.
3 Ti Rubene, moj prvorođenče, snaga ti si moja, prvenac moje muškosti. Ističeš, se ponosom, snagom se ističeš,
Ruben, you [are] my firstborn, you my strength, and the first of my children, hard to be endured, [hard and] self-willed.
4 no, poput vode nabujao, nećeš više imati prvenstva, jer na ležaj oca svog se pope, moj tad oskvrnu krevet.
You were insolent like water, burst not forth with violence, for you went up to the bed of your father; then you defiled the couch, whereupon you went up.
5 Šimun i Levi braća su prava! Mačevi im oruđe nasilja.
Symeon and Levi, brethren, accomplished the injustice of their cutting off.
6 Na njihova vijećanja ja ne silazio, u njihovim zborovima udjela ne imao! U srdžbi su svojoj ljude ubijali; u obijesti bikove sakatili.
Let not my soul come into their counsel, and let not mine inward parts contend in their conspiracy, for in their wrath they killed men, and in their passion they houghed a bull.
7 Prokleta im srdžba, jer je prežestoka! Prokleta im obijest, jer je preokrutna! Razdijelit ću ih po Jakovu, Izraelom raspršiti.
Cursed be their wrath, for it was willful, and their anger, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 Judo! Tvoja braća slavit će te; svagda ti je šaka na šiji dušmana, sinci oca tvoga tebi će se klanjat.
Juda, your brethren have praised you, and your hands shall be on the back of your enemies; your father's sons shall do you reverence.
9 Judo, laviću mali! Plijenom si se, sine, udebljao; poput lava, poput lavice legao potrbuške! Tko bi ga dražiti smio?
Juda is a lion's whelp: from the tender plant, my son, you are gone up, having couched you lie as a lion, and as a whelp; who shall stir him up?
10 Od Jude žezlo se kraljevsko, ni palica vladalačka od nogu njegovih udaljiti neće dok ne dođe onaj kome pripada - kome će se narodi pokoriti.
A ruler shall not fail from Juda, nor a prince from his loins, until there come the things stored up for him; and he is the expectation of nations.
11 Svog magarca za lozu privezuje, mlado magarice svoje za čokot. U vinu on kupa svoju odjeću svoju halju u krvi od grožđa.
Binding his foal to the vine, and the foal of his ass to the branch [of it], he shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape.
12 Oči su mu od vina mutne, zubi bjelji od mlijeka.
His eyes shall be more cheering than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
13 Zebulun će stanovati uz obalu morsku, luka spasa bit će brodarima, uz bok njegov Sidon će ležati.
Zabulon shall dwell on the coast, and he [shall be] by a haven of ships, and shall extend to Sidon.
14 Jisakar je koščat magarac polegao među ogradama.
Issachar has desired that which is good; resting between the inheritances.
15 Vidje da je odmor ugodan, a zemlja lijepa, te leđa svoja pod teret podmetnu i na tlaku pristade.
And having seen the resting place that it was good, and the land that it was fertile, he subjected his shoulder to labor, and became a husbandman.
16 Dan će narod svoj suditi kao svako pleme Izraelovo.
Dan shall judge his people, as one tribe too in Israel.
17 Nek' Dan zmija bude na putu, guja pokraj staze što će konja za zglob ujesti, i njegov konjik nauznak će pasti.
And let Dan be a serpent in the way, besetting the path, biting the heel of the horse (and the rider shall fall backward),
18 U spas tvoj se, Jahve, uzdam!
waiting for the salvation of the Lord.
19 Gada će pljačkat razbojnici, pljačkom će im za petama biti.
Gad, a plundering troop shall plunder him; but he shall plunder him, [pursuing him] closely.
20 U Ašera bit će hrane, poslastica za kraljeve.
Aser, his bread [shall be] fat; and he shall yield dainties to princes.
21 Naftali je košuta lakonoga koja krasnu lanad mladi.
Nephthalim is a spreading stem, bestowing beauty on its fruit.
22 Josip je stablo plodno, plodno stablo kraj izvora, grane svoje grana preko zida.
Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me.
23 Strijelci njega saletjeli, strijeljali ga, opljačkali.
Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached [him], and the archers pressed hard upon him.
24 Ali luk mu čvrst ostaje, mišice mu ojačale, rukom Jakog Jakovljeva, imenom Pastira, Stijene Izraela,
But their bow and arrows were mightily consumed, and the sinews of their arms were slackened by the hand of the mighty one of Jacob; thence is he that strengthened Israel from the God of your father;
25 Bogom, Ocem tvojim, koji ti pomaže, Svesilnim koji te blagoslivlje blagoslovom ozgo sa nebesa, blagoslovom ozdo iz dubina, blagoslovom iz svih prsa, iz svih utroba!
and my God helped you, and he blessed you with the blessing of heaven from above, and the blessing of the earth possessing all things, because of the blessing of the breasts and of the womb,
26 Blagoslovom klasja i cvjetova, blagoslovom drevnih brda, želja vječnih brežuljaka - nek' se oni spuste na Josipa, između braće posvećenog!
the blessings of your father and your mother—it has prevailed above the blessing of the lasting mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the head of the brothers of whom he took the lead.
27 Benjamin je vuk grabežljivi, lovinu on jutrom jede, a navečer plijen dijeli.”
Benjamin, as a ravening wolf, shall eat still in the morning, and at evening he gives food.
28 Sve su to Izraelova plemena - dvanaest ih na broj - i to im je otac rekao kad ih je blagoslivljao; svakoga je od njih blagoslovio njegovim blagoslovom.
All these [are] the twelve sons of Jacob; and their father spoke these words to them, and he blessed them; he blessed each of them according to his blessing.
29 Poslije toga im dade ovu naredbu: “Naskoro ću se pridružiti svojim precima. Sahranite me kraj mojih otaca,
And he said to them, I am added to my people; you shall bury me with my fathers in the cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Chettite,
30 u spilji što se nalazi na polju Efrona, Hetita, u spilji na polju Makpeli, nasuprot Mamri, u zemlji kanaanskoj. To je ona koju je Abraham kupio s poljem od Hetita Efrona za mjesto sahranjivanja.
in the double cave which is opposite Mambre, in the land of Chanaan, the cave which Abraam bought of Ephron the Chettite, for a possession of a sepulchre.
31 Ondje je sahranjen Abraham i njegova žena Sara; sahranjeni su ondje Izak i njegova žena Rebeka; ondje sam ja sahranio Leu.
There they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife; there they buried Isaac, and Rebecca his wife; there they buried Lea;
32 Polje i spilja na njemu kupljeni su od Hetita.”
in the portion of the field, and of the cave that was in it, [purchased] of the sons of Chet.
33 Kad je Jakov tako naputio svoje sinove, povuče noge natrag na postelju te izdahnu - pridruži se svojim precima.
And Jacob ceased giving charges to his sons; and having lifted up his feet on the bed, he died, and was gathered to his people.
