1 Mojžišova 49
1 Povolal pak Jákob synů svých, a řekl: Sejděte se, a oznámím vám, co se s vámi díti bude potomních dnů.
Jacob summoned all his sons, and said to them,
2 Shromažďte se a slyšte synové Jákobovi, poslyšte Izraele otce svého.
“Gather around me in order that I can tell you what will happen in the future. My sons, come and listen to me. I am your father, [Jacob, whom God named] Israel.
3 Ruben, prvorozený můj jsi ty, síla má, a počátek moci mé, vyvýšenost důstojenství a vyvýšenost síly.
Reuben, you are my oldest son. You were born when I was young and energetic/strong. You are prouder and stronger than all the rest of my sons.
4 Prudce sběhneš jako voda. Nebudeš vyvýšen, proto že jsi vstoupil na lůže otce svého; a jakž jsi poškvrnil postele mé, zmizelo vyvýšení tvé.
But you were as uncontrollable as a flood [SIM]. So now you will not be my most important son, because you climbed up onto my bed, and had sex with [MTY] my (concubine/slave who had become one of my wives). Your doing that caused me, your father, to have great shame.
5 Simeon a Léví bratří, nástrojové nepravosti jsou v příbytcích jejich.
Simeon and Levi, you have both acted like criminals. You use your swords to act violently.
6 Do tajné rady jejich nevcházej duše má, k shromáždění jejich nepřipojuj se slávo má; nebo v prchlivosti své zbili muže, a svévolně vyvrátili zed.
I do not want to be with you when you make evil plans [DOU]. I do not want to join you in your meetings, because you killed people when you became very angry, and you (hamstrung/cut the tendons in the legs of) oxen just to (have fun/see them suffer).
7 Zlořečená prchlivost jejich, nebo neustupná; i hněv jejich, nebo zatvrdilý jest. Rozdělím je v Jákobovi, a rozptýlím je v Izraeli.
God says, ‘I will (curse/cause bad things to happen to) them for being very angry, for acting very cruelly when they were very furious. I will scatter their descendants [MTY] throughout Israel land.’
8 Judo, ty jsi, tebe chváliti budou bratří tvoji; ruka tvá bude na šíji nepřátel tvých; klaněti se budou tobě synové otce tvého.
Judah, your [older and younger] brothers will praise you. They will bow down before you, because you will thoroughly defeat [MTY] your enemies.
9 Lvíče Juda, z loupeže, synu můj, vrátil jsi se; schýliv se, ležel jako lev a jako lvice; kdo zbudí ho?
Judah is like a young lion [SIM] that has returned to its den satisfied after eating the animals that it has killed. He is like a lion that lies down and stretches out after eating; no one would dare to disturb it [RHQ].
10 Nebude odjata berla od Judy, ani vydavatel zákona od noh jeho, dokudž nepřijde Sílo; a k němu se shromáždí národové.
There will always be a ruler [MTY] from the descendants of Judah [MTY]. Each one will hold a scepter/staff to show that he has authority as a king. He will do that until the one to whom the scepter belongs comes, the one to whom the nations will bring tribute and show that they will obey him.
11 Uváže k vinnému kmenu osle své, a k výbornému kmenu oslátko oslice své. Práti bude u víně roucho své, a v červeném víně oděv svůj.
The grapevines of Judah’s descendants will produce grapes very abundantly. As a result, they will not object to tying their young donkeys to the grapevines in order that the donkeys can eat the leaves of the grapevines. [Wine will be very plentiful, with the result that] they could wash their cloaks in wine that is as red as blood [MET].
12 Èervenějších očí bude nad víno, a zubů bělejších nad mléko.
Their eyes will be red because of [drinking too much] wine, but their teeth will be very white because of drinking much milk [from the cows].
13 Zabulon bydliti bude na břehu mořském, a na přístavu lodí, a pomezí jeho až k Sidonu.
Zebulun, your descendants will live by the seashore where there will be a safe harbor for ships. Their land will extend north as far as Sidon [city].
14 Izachar osel silný, ležící mezi dvěma břemeny.
Issachar, your descendants will be like strong donkeys that are lying down on the ground between their loads, [so tired that they cannot get up]!
15 A vida odpočinutí, že jest dobré, a zemi, že jest rozkošná, sehne rameno své k nošení, a dávati bude daně.
They will see that their resting place is good, and that the land pleases them very much. But they will bend their backs to carry heavy loads and be forced to work for others.
16 Dan souditi bude lid svůj, jako jedno z pokolení Izraelských.
Dan, although your tribe will be small, their leaders will rule their people just like the leaders of other tribes of Israel will rule their people.
17 Budeť Dan jako had podlé cesty, jako had rohatý podlé stezky, štípaje kopyta koně, aby spadl jezdec jeho zpět.
Your descendants will be like snakes at the side of a road, like poisonous snakes lying beside a path. They will strike the heels of horses that pass by, causing the riders to fall backwards [as the horses rear up on their hind legs].”
18 Spasení tvého očekávám, ó Hospodine!
Then Jacob prayed, “Yahweh, I am waiting for you to rescue me [from my enemies].”
19 Gád, vojsko přemůže jej, však on svítězí potom.
[Then Jacob continued telling his sons what would happen in the future. He said], “Gad, your tribe/descendants will be attacked by a group of bandits, but your tribe/descendants will pursue and attack them [MTY].
20 Asser, tučný bude pokrm jeho, a onť vydávati bude rozkoše královské.
Asher, your descendants will eat good-tasting food; they will produce food that is delicious enough for kings to eat.
21 Neftalím jako laň vypuštěná, vydávaje výmluvnosti krásné.
Naphtali, your descendants will be like deer [MET] that are (free to/not tied down and can) run wherever they wish. They will give birth to children who are good-looking like (fawns/baby deer) [MET].
22 Ratolest rostoucí Jozef, ratolest rostoucí podlé studnice; ratolesti vycházely nad zed.
Joseph, you will have many descendants [MET]. Their children will be as many as the fruit on a vine near a spring of water, whose branches extend over a wall.
23 Ačkoli hořkostí naplnili jej, a stříleli na něj, a v tajné nenávisti měli ho střelci:
Their enemies will attack them fiercely, and shoot at them with bows and arrows and pursue them.
24 Však zůstalo v síle lučiště jeho, a zsilila se ramena rukou jeho z rukou mocného Jákobova; odkudž byl pastýř a kámen Izraelův;
But they will hold their bows steady and their arms will remain strong, because of the power [MTY] of my mighty God, because of Yahweh who guides and provides for me [MET] like a shepherd guides and provides for his sheep. The people of Israel will [ask Yahweh to protect them], [like people hide under] a huge [overhanging] to be protected.
25 Od silného Boha, jemuž sloužil otec tvůj, kterýž spomáhá tobě, a od všemohoucího, kterýž požehná tobě požehnáními nebeskými s hůry, požehnáními propasti ležící hluboko, požehnáním prsů a života.
God, the one whom I worship, will help your descendants. God Almighty will bless them by sending them rain from the sky and by giving them water from deep/far below the ground. He will give them many cattle and children [MET] (OR, and their cattle will have many offspring).
26 Požehnání otce tvého silnější budou nad požehnání předků mých, až k končinám pahrbků věčných; budou nad hlavou Jozefovou, a na vrchu hlavy Nazarejského mezi bratřími jeho.
The blessings that I want God to give you are great ones. They are greater than the blessings that come from the eternal mountains, greater than the ones that come from the everlasting hills. Joseph, I pray that these blessings will (be given to you/come upon your head), because you are the leader of your [older] brothers [and younger brother].
27 Beniamin, vlk dravý, ráno bude jísti loupež, a večer rozdělí kořisti.
Benjamin, your descendants will be like [MET] vicious/fierce wolves: In the morning they will kill their enemies like a wolf devours (its prey/the animals that it has killed), and in the evening they will divide among their warriors the spoils that they seized from their enemies.”
28 Všech těchto pokolení Izraelských jest dvanácte; a to jest, což mluvil jim otec jejich; požehnal jim také, jednomu každému vedlé požehnání jeho požehnal.
Those twelve sons are the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. That is what their father said to them as he blessed them, telling to each one words that were appropriate for him.
29 A poroučeje jim, řekl: Já připojen budu k lidu svému; pochovejte mne s otci mými v jeskyni té, kteráž jest na poli Efrona Hetejského,
Then Jacob said to his sons, “I will soon die. Bury my body where some of my ancestors are buried, in the cave that is in the field that was bought from Ephron, who belonged to the Heth people-group.
30 V jeskyni, kteráž jest na poli Machpelah, jenž jest naproti Mamre v zemi Kananejské, kterouž koupil Abraham spolu s polem tím od Efrona Hetejského k dědičnému pohřbu.
That field is in the Machpelah area, east of Mamre [town], in Canaan. My grandfather Abraham bought it from Ephron to use as a burial place.
31 Tam pochovali Abrahama a Sáru ženu jeho; tam pochovali Izáka a Rebeku ženu jeho; tam také pochovali Líu.
That is where they buried him and his wife Sarah. That is where they buried my father Isaac and his wife Rebekah. And that is where I buried my wife Leah.
32 Koupeno pak bylo pole a jeskyně, kteráž na něm, od synů Het.
That field and the cave in it were bought from the Heth people-group; so that is where I want you to bury me.”
33 A když přestal Jákob přikazovati synům svým, složil nohy své na ložci a umřel; a připojen jest k lidu svému.
When Jacob finished giving those instructions to his sons, he lay down on his bed again. Then he died [IDM].
