Genesis 49
1 Then Jacob called for his sons and said, “Gather around so that I can tell you what will happen to you in the days to come:
Te phoeiah Jakob loh a carhoek tea khue tih, “Tun ngol uh lamtah, vuenvai ah nangmih taengah aka thoeng ham te nangmih taengah ka puen pawn ni,
2 Come together and listen, O sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.
Jakob ca rhoek loh a yaak uh tiha 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 honor, excelling in power.
Reuben nang he ka caming tih, ka thadueng neh, ka thahuem cuek, hlangrhuel boeimang, hlangtlung hlangrhuel la na om dae,
4 Uncontrolled as the waters, you will no longer excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, onto my couch, and defiled it.
Na pa kah tih thingkong sola na yoeng tih, ka rhaenghmuen te na poeih phoeiah, tui banglana 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 May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For they kill men in their anger, and hamstring oxen on a whim.
Amih rhoi kah tingtunnah dongah ka hinglu naepkhap pawh. Amah rhoi kah thintoek dongah hlanga ngawn rhoi tih vaito kaprhui haih hamte amih rhoi kah kolonah la a om dongah, kai kah thangpomnah loh amih rhoi a hlangping te bulbo boel saeh.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it is strong, and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will disperse them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel.
Amih rhoi kah a thinpom khawa tlung dongah a thintoek te thae a phoei thil. Te dongah a mangkhakte Jakob taengah ka tael vetih Israel taengah khaw ka taekyak ni.
8 Judah, your brothers shall praise you. Your hand shall be on the necks of your enemies; your father’s sons shall bow down to you.
Judah nang he na manuca rhoek loh nang n'uem uh ni. Na kutte na thunkhaa rhawn dongla cu ni. Na pacaboeinate nang taengah bakop uh ni.
9 Judah is a young lion— my son, you return from the prey. Like a lion he crouches and lies down; like a lioness, who dares to rouse him?
Judah he sathueng ca ni. Ka ca loh maeh kung lamkahna bal phoeiah, sathueng neh sathuengnu bangla aka yuel tih, aka kolte ulong aniha haeng eh.
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes and the allegiance of the nations is his.
Judah lamkah mancai tah nong boel lamtah, a kho laklo lamloh taem saeh. Shiloha pha duela anih taengah, pilnam kah boengainah om saeh.
11 He ties his donkey to the vine, his colt to the choicest branch. He washes his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
A laaktal, laaktalte misur dongah, a laak ca te cangsawt misur dongah pael saeh. A pueinakte misurtui dongah, a hnipup, hnipupte misur thii dongah til saeh.
12 His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.
Na mik khaw musurtui lakah ling vetih, na note suktui lakah bok ni.
13 Zebulun shall dwell by the seashore and become a harbor for ships; his border shall extend to Sidon.
Zebulun he tuitunli kah langkaeng ah khosa saeh lamtah, langkaeng kah sangphorhoek bangla a bawtnah loh Sidon due pha saeh.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.
Issakhar he laak songrhuh bangla saelvong laklo ah na kol.
15 He saw that his resting place was good and that his land was pleasant, so he bent his shoulder to the burden and submitted to labor as a servant.
Duemnah then neh khohmuen hlahmae te khawa hmuh dae, phueih te a laengpang ah a thueng tih aka thotat saldong la om ni.
16 Dan shall provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan he Israel koca pakhat vanbangla a pilnam kah lai a thui pah ni.
17 He will be a snake by the road, a viper in the path that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider tumbles backward.
Dan he long taengkah rhul neh marhang dongkah aka ngol te a hnuk la bung saeh tila marhang khomik aka maeng tih, caehlong rhulthae bangla om ni.
18 I await Your salvation, O LORD.
BOEIPA nang kah khangnah ham ni ka lamtawn he.
19 Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will attack their heels.
Gad he caem loh tloek cakhaw anihloh a khomika tloek pah ni.
20 Asher’s food will be rich; he shall provide royal delicacies.
Asher ham caak bae vetih, manghai buhmonga tael ni.
21 Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.
Naphtali tah sayukrhuinu bangla khocaeh dangka vetih, ol thena thui ni.
22 Joseph is a fruitful vine— a fruitful vine by a spring, whose branches scale the wall.
Joseph tah a ca loh thaihsu tih, a ca loh tuiphuet taengkah pungtai. Ngannu ngankhong loh pangbueng dongla luei.
23 The archers attacked him with bitterness; they aimed at him in hostility.
Thaltang boei rhoek a konaeh uh dongah, a phaep uh tiha kah uh.
24 Yet he steadied his bow, and his strong arms were tempered by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, in the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
Tedae Jakob kah samrhang kut rhang neh, Israel aka dawn lungnu rhang neh,
25 by the God of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who blesses you, with blessings of the heavens above, with blessings of the depths below, with blessings of the breasts and womb.
Na pa kah Pathen loh nang m'bom tih Tlungthang loh nangte vaana 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 surpassed the blessings of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince of 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 devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder.”
Benjamin, uithang laihat loh, mincang ah maeha ngaeh, hlaem ah kutbuema tael,” a ti nah.
28 These are the tribes of Israel, twelve in all, and this was what their father said to them. He blessed them, and he blessed each one with a suitable blessing.
A pum boeih la Israel koca he hlai nit dongah a napa loh amih taengaha thui vaengah amah kah yoethennah neh amihte yoethen rhip a paek.
29 Then Jacob instructed them, “I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite.
Te phoeiah amih tea uen tih, “Kai he ka pilnam taengla ka khum atah a parhoek neh Khitti Ephron lo kah lungko ah n'up uh.
30 The cave is in the field of Machpelah near Mamre, in the land of Canaan. This is the field Abraham purchased from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
Kanaan kho Mamre hmai, Makpelah lo kah lungko te phuel khohut la Khitti Ephron taeng lamkah Abrahamloh a lai khohmuen ni.
31 There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried, and there I buried Leah.
Ti ahte Abraham neh a yuu Saraha up uh tih Isaak neh a yuu Rebekah te pahoia up uh coeng. Leah khaw pahoi ka up coeng.
32 The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the Hittites.”
Te dongah Kheth carhoek taeng lamkah te khohmuen boiva neh a khuikah lungko te,” a ti nah.
33 When Jacob had finished instructing his sons, he pulled his feet into the bed and breathed his last, and he was gathered to his people.
Jakob loh a ca rhoek a uen tea khah phoeiah baiphaih dongla a khoa yueh. Te phoeiah pal tih a pilnam taengla khoem uh.
