Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called to his sons, and said, gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days.
KAHEA aku la o Iakoba i kana mau keikikane, i aku la, E houluulu mai ia oukou iho i hai aku ai au ia oukou i na mea e hiki mai ana io oukou la i na la mahope.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, and hearken to Israel your father.
E houluulu mai ia oukou iho, e lohe, e na keiki a Iakoba; e hoolohe mai ia Iseraela i ko oukou makuakane.
3 Reuben, thou are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the pre-eminence of dignity, and the pre-eminence of power.
E Reubena e, o oe no ka'u hiapo, o ko'u ikaika, a me ka hoomaka ana o ka ui o'u; ke kela ana i ka hanohano, ke kela ana i ka mana:
4 Boiling over as water, thou shall not have the pre-eminence, because thou went up to thy father's bed, then thou defiled it; he went up to my couch.
He hu wale me he wai la, aole oe e kela aku, no ka mea, pii aku la oe i ka moe o kou makuakane: alaila oe i hoohaumia iho ai: pii aka la ia i kuu wahi moe.
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers, weapons of violence are their swords.
O Simeona laua o Levi, he mau hoahanau laua: aia na mea hoomainoino ma ko laua hoolimalima.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their council, to their assembly, my glory, be not thou united, for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they hocked an ox.
Ma ko laua wahi ohumu aole e hele aku kuu uhane, ma ko laua halawai aole e hui pu ia'ku ko'u naui: no ka mea, no ko laua inaina pepehi iho la laua i ke kanaka, a no ko laua makemake oki iho la laua i ke olona wawae o ka bipi.
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.
E hoinoia ka laua inaina, no ka mea, he ino ia, a me ko laua huhu, no ka mea, he koikoi ia: e mahelehele au ia laua iloko o ka Iakoba, a e hoopuehu au in laua iloko o ka Iseraela.
8 Judah, thy brothers shall praise thee. Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies. Thy father's sons shall bow down before thee.
E Iuda e, o oe ka mea a na hoahanau ou e hoomaikai ai: o kou lima, aia no ia ma ka a-i o kou poe enemi; e kulou iho hoi na keiki a kou makuakane imua on.
9 Judah is a lion's whelp. From the prey, my son, thou have gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him up?
He keiki a ka liona o Iuda, ua pii ae oe, e kuu keiki, mai ke pio ae: kukuli iho la ia, a moe iho la me he liona kane la, a me ka liona wahine; nawai ia e hoala ae?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs, and to him shall the obedience of the peoples be.
Aole e lilo aku ke kookeo alii mai o Iuda aku, aole hoi ka mea webewehe kanawai maiwaena aku o kona mau wawae, a hiki mai ai o Silo; a ia ia ke akoakoa ana ae o na kanaka.
11 Binding his foal to the vine, and his donkey's colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, and his vesture in the blood of grapes.
E hikii ana i kana keikihoki i ke kumuwaina, a me ke keiki a ka hokiwahine i ke kumuwaina maikai, holoi iho la ia i kona kapa i ka waina, a me kona aahu i ke koko o ka huawaina.
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
E ulaula kona mau maka i ka waina, e keokeo hoi kona mau niho i ka waiu.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea, and he shall be for a haven of ships. And his border shall be upon Sidon.
E noho auanei o Zebuluna ma ke kahakai; oia no ke kahakai no na moku; a e hiki aku kona palena i Sidona.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey, couching down between the sheepfolds.
He hoki ikaika no o Isakara e moe ana mawaena o na halemalumalu:
15 And he saw a resting place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant. And he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under task work.
Ike iho la ia i ka maha he maikai ia, a i ka aina he oluolu ia, kulon iho la ia i kona hokua i ka ukana, a lilo iho la ia i kauwn e auhauia'i.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
E hooponopono o Dana i kona hanauna a kanaka, e like me kekahi o na ohana o Iseraela.
17 Dan shall be a serpent in the way, an adder in the path, that bites the horse's heels, so that his rider falls backward.
He nahesa o Dana ma kapa alanui, he moolele ma ke ala; nana e nahu aku na kuekuewawae o ka lio, a e haule hope iho ka mea e hooholo ana ia ia.
18 I have waited for thy salvation, O Jehovah.
Ua kali au i kou hoola ana, e Iehova.
19 Gad, a troop shall press upon him, but he shall press upon their heel.
O Gada, e lanakila mai ka poe kaua maluna ona, aka, e lanakila aku oia ma ka hope.
20 Out of the Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
Mai Asera mai kana ai momona, a e haawi aku ia i na mea ono na na'lii.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose. He gives goodly words.
O Napetali, he diawahine ia i kalaia'ku; ke hua mai nei ia i na huaolelo maikai.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a fountain, his branches run over the wall.
He lala hua o Iosepa, he lala hua ma ka punawai: ke kolo ae nei na lala ona maluna o ka pa.
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and persecute him,
Ua hooeha nui mai, a ua pana mai hoi na mea pana ia ia, a ua inaina mai lakou ia ia.
24 but his bow abode in strength. And the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),
Aka, ua mau no kona kakaka i ka ikaika, a ua hooikaikaia kona mau lima e na lima o ka Mea mana o Iakoba; (nolaila mai ke kahuhipa, ka pohaku no Iseraela; )
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 couches beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
E ke Akua o kou makua, nana oe e kokua mai; e ka Mea mana loa hoi, nana oe e hoomaikai mai i na mea maikai o ka lani iluna, a o ka hohonu ilalo, i na mea maikai o ka u, a o ka opu.
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my forefathers to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
Ua oi aku ka hoomaikai ana o kou makuakane maluna o na hoomaikai ana o na mauna mau, a hiki aku hoi i na mokuna o na puu kahiko loa: maluna no auanei ia o ke poo o Iosepa, a maluna hoi o ka piko o ke poo o ka mea i hookaawaleia ae mai koua poe hanauna aku.
27 Benjamin is a wolf that ravens. In the morning he shall devour the prey, and at evening he shall divide the spoil.
E haehae o Beniamina me he iliohae la, i ke kakahiaka e ai iho ia i ke pio, a i ke ahiahi e puunaue ia i ka waiwai pio.
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is it that their father spoke to them and blessed them; every man according to his blessing he blessed them.
O keia poe a pau, o ka poe ohana ia a Iseraela he umikumamalua: a oia ka mea a ko lakou makuakane i olelo mai ai ia lakou, a i hoomaikai mai ai ia lakou; i kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me ka hoomaikai ana, ana i hoomaikai mai ai ia lakou.
29 And he ordered them, and said to them, I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Kauoha aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, E huipu ana au me ko'u poe makua: e kanu pu hoi oukou la'u me na makua o'u ma ke ana maloko o ke kula o Eperona, no ka Heta,
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 from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying place.
Ma ke ana iloko o ke kula ma Makepela, ma ke alo o Mamere, ma ka aina o Kanaana, o ke kula a Aberahama i kuai ai me Eperona, no ka Heta, i wahi ilina kupapau nona.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah,
Malaila lakou i kanu ai ia Aberahama, a me kana wahine me Sara, a malaila lakou i kanu ai ia Isaaka a me kana wahine mo Rebeka, a malaila hoi au i kanu ai ia Lea.
32 the field and the cave that is in it, which was purchased from the sons of Heth.
Ua kuaiia ke kula, a me ke ana iloko me na mamo a Heta.
33 And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the spirit, and was gathered to his people.
A pau ka Iakoba kauoha ana i kana poe keiki, opili ae la ia i kona mau wawae maluna o kahi moe, kaili aku la ke aho, a huipu ia iho la ia me kona poe makua.
