Genesis 49
1 Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh a ca rhoek te a khue tih, “Tun ngol uh lamtah, vuenvai ah nangmih taengah aka thoeng ham te nangmih taengah ka puen pawn ni,” a ti nah.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
“Jakob ca rhoek loh a yaak uh tih a coi uh thae vaengah, Na pa Israel kah ol te ya uh van lah.
3 “Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power.
Reuben nang he ka caming tih, ka thadueng neh, ka thahuem cuek, hlangrhuel boeimang, hlangtlung hlangrhuel la na om dae,
4 Boiling over like water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, then defiled it. He went up to my couch.
Na pa kah thingkong sola na yoeng tih, ka rhaenghmuen te na poeih phoeiah, tui bangla na soetaenah dongah caknoi khaw na khueh mahpawh.
5 “Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
Simeon neh Levi boeina, amih rhoi kah tubael tah kuthlahnah tumca ni.
6 My soul, do not come into their council. My glory, do not be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.
Amih rhoi kah tingtunnah dongah ka hinglu naepkhap pawh. Amah rhoi kah thintoek dongah hlang a ngawn rhoi tih, vaito kaprhui haih ham te amih rhoi kah kolonah la a om dongah, ka thangpomnah loh amih rhoi kah a hlangping te bulbo boel saeh.
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.
Amih rhoi kah a thinpom khaw a tlung dongah a thintoek te thae a phoei thil. Te dongah a mangkhak te Jakob taengah ka tael vetih Israel taengah khaw ka taekyak ni.
8 “Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father’s sons will bow down before you.
Judah nang he na manuca rhoek loh nang n'uem uh ni. Na kut te na thunkha kah a rhawn dongla cu ni. Na pacaboeina te nang taengah bakop uh ni.
9 Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?
Judah he sathueng ca ni. Ka ca loh maeh kung lamkah na bal phoeiah, sathueng neh sathuengnu bangla aka yuel tih, aka kol te u long anih a haeng eh.
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. The obedience of the peoples will be to him.
Judah lamkah mancai tah nong boel saeh lamtah, a kho laklo lamloh taem saeh. Shiloh a pha duela anih taengah, pilnam kah boengainah om saeh.
11 Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
A laaktal, laaktal te misur dongah, a laak ca te cangsawt misur dongah pael saeh. A pueinak te misurtui dongah, a hnipup, hnipup te misur thii dongah til saeh.
12 His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.
Na mik khaw misurtui lakah ling vetih, na no te suktui lakah bok ni.
13 “Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.
Zebulun he tuitunli kah langkaeng ah khosa saeh lamtah, langkaeng kah sangpho rhoek bangla a bawtnah loh Sidon due pha saeh.
14 “Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags.
Issakhar he laak songrhuh bangla saelvong laklo ah na kol.
15 He saw a resting place, that it was good, the land, that it was pleasant. He bows his shoulder to the burden, and becomes a servant doing forced labor.
Duemnah then neh khohmuen hlahmae te khaw a hmuh dae, a phueih te a laengpang ah a thueng tih aka thotat saldong la om ni.
16 “Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan he Israel koca pakhat vanbangla a pilnam kah lai a thui pah ni.
17 Dan will be a serpent on the trail, an adder in the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that his rider falls backward.
Dan he long taengkah rhul neh marhang dongkah aka ngol te a hnuk la bung saeh tila marhang khomik aka maeng tih, caehlong ah rhulthae bangla om ni.
18 I have waited for your salvation, LORD.
BOEIPA nang kah khangnah ham ni ka lamtawn he.
19 “A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.
Gad he caem loh tloek cakhaw anih loh a khomik a tloek pah ni.
20 “Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.
Asher ham caak bae vetih, manghai buhmong a tael ni.
21 “Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.
Naphtali tah sayukrhuinu bangla khocaeh dangka vetih, ol then a thui ni.
22 “Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.
Joseph tah a ca loh thaihsu tih, a ca loh tuiphuet taengah pungtai. Ngannu ngankhong loh pangbueng dongla luei.
23 The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:
Thaltang boei rhoek a konaeh uh dongah, a phaep uh tih a kah uh.
24 But his bow remained strong. 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),
Tedae Jakob kah samrhang kut rhang neh, Israel aka dawn lungnu rhang neh,
25 even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
Na pa kah Pathen loh nang m'bom tih Tlungthang loh nang te vaan a sosang kah yoethennah, a laedil kah aka kol yoethennah nen khaw, a rhangsuk dongkah yoethennah nen khaw, a bung khuikah nen khaw yoethen m'paek dongah, a li khaw tangkuek la om tih, a kut bantha khaw caang.
26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.
Na pa kah yoethennah he kai aka yom kah yoethennah lakah len. Khosuen som ah a saelongnah hil Joseph lu so neh a manuca hlangcoelh luki soah om saeh.
27 “Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”
Benjamin, uithang laihat loh, mincang ah maeh a ngaeh, hlaem ah kutbuem a tael,” a ti nah.
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them, and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his own blessing.
A pum boeih la Israel koca he hlai nit dongah a napa loh amih taengah a thui vaengah amah kah yoethennah neh amih te yoethen rhip a paek.
29 He instructed 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,
Te phoeiah amih te a uen tih, “Kai he ka pilnam taengla ka khum atah a pa rhoek neh Khitti Ephron lo kah lungko ah n'up uh.
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 as a burial place.
Kanaan kho Mamre hmai, Makpelah lo kah lungko te phuel khohut la Khitti Ephron taeng lamkah Abraham loh a lai khohmuen ni.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:
Ti ah te Abraham neh a yuu Sarah a up uh tih Isaak neh a yuu Rebekah te pahoi a up uh coeng. Leah khaw pahoi ka up coeng.
32 the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”
Te dongah Kheth ca rhoek taeng lamkah te khohmuen boiva neh a khuikah lungko te,” a ti nah.
33 When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.
Jakob loh a ca rhoek a uen te a khah phoeiah baiphaih dongla a kho a yueh. Te phoeiah pal tih a pilnam taengla khoem uh.
