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:
Eka Jakobo noluongo yawuote mowachonegi niya, “Biuru machiegni mondo anyisu gima biro timorenu e ndalo mabiro.
2 Come together and listen, O sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.
“Un yawuot Jakobo chokreuru buta kendo uchik itu; winjuru Israel wuonu.
3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.
“Reuben, in e wuoda makayo, kendo in e tekona kendo in e ranyisi mokwongo mar tekra, bende in giluor mangʼeny kod teko mangʼeny.
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.
Ijamuomri ka pi aora, to ok inibed gi duongʼ, nikech isedonjori, gi kitanda wuonu ma ichido.
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers; their swords are weapons of violence.
“Simeon gi Lawi gin owete, gisetimo timbe mag lweny gi liganglagi.
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.
Ok nariwra kodgi e buchegi, ok nariwra kodgi e chokruogegi, nikech ka mirima omakogi to ginego ji kendo gingʼado odond dhok sa asaya ka gihero.
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.
Okwongʼ mirimbgi nikech en mirima mager kendo makwiny. Anakegi e kind joka Jakobo kendo akegi e piny Israel duto.
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.
“Juda, oweteni biro paki; bende inimak wasiki gi ngʼutgi, kendo oweteni biro kuloreni.
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?
Yaye Juda nyathina, ichalo nyathi sibuor, modwogo koa dwar. Obuto ka sibuor madhako monindo piny, maonge ngʼama nyalo chiewo.
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.
Ludh duongʼ ok noa e lwet Juda kata odunga mar teko ok noa e tiende, nyaka wuon loch ma biro rito ogendini duto chopi kendo luor mar ogendini nobed kuome.
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.
Obiro tweyo pundane e kor mzabibu, enotue nyathi pundane e mzabibu moyier; kendo obiro luoko lepe gi divai makwar.
12 His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.
Wangʼe nobed makwar moloyo divai kendo lake nobed matar ka chak.
13 Zebulun shall dwell by the seashore and become a harbor for ships; his border shall extend to Sidon.
“Zebulun nodag e dho nam kama yiedhi gowe, kendo tongʼ mare nodhi nyaka Sidon.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.
“Isakar en punda maratego ma nindo piny e dier misikene.
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.
Kane oneno kaka dalane ber, kendo kaka pinyno ber, noyie tingʼo misigo modoko misumba matiyo tich matek.
16 Dan shall provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
“Dan nobed jangʼad bura ne joge mana kaka achiel kuom oganda Israel.
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 nobed ka thuol man e dir yo, thuol man-gi kwiri mager e yo, ma kayo ombongʼ Faras mondo ngʼama oidhe ochwanyre magore piny gi kangʼeye.
18 I await Your salvation, O LORD.
“Aserito warruok yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
19 Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will attack their heels.
“Gad to nomonj gi jomecho, to noriembgi kolawogi matek.
20 Asher’s food will be rich; he shall provide royal delicacies.
“Asher nobed gi chiemo mamit; nobed gi chiemo moromo ruoth chamo.
21 Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.
“Naftali to en mwanda mogony, ma nywolo nyithindo mabeyo.
22 Joseph is a fruitful vine— a fruitful vine by a spring, whose branches scale the wall.
“Josef en mzabibu manyago olemo mopidh e bath thidhna, ma bedene ogawore e kor ot.
23 The archers attacked him with bitterness; they aimed at him in hostility.
Jodir asere nolawe matek kokecho, ne gibaye gi asere ka igi owangʼ.
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,
Kata kamano, Nyasaye Maratego ma Nyasach Jakobo noturo atungegi, kendo Jakwath, ma Lwanda mar Israel, nochodo leche mag ogich bedegi.
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.
Nyasach wuonuno ma en Nyasaye Maratego, mondo ogwedhi gi gweth mag polo gi gweth mag nyak mag lowo, gi gweth mag nyithindo.
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.
Gweth mag wuoro dongo moloyo gweth mag gode madongo machon, kendo moloyo gik mabeyo duto mag gode mosiko. Gwethgi mondo obi ne Josef, ngʼat mane opog gi jowetene.
27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder.”
“Benjamin en ondiek ma kech kayo; gima osenego ochamo gokinyi, kendo godhiambo okidho matindo tindo gima osemako.”
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.
Magi e dhout Israel apar gariyo duto kendo mae gima ne wuon-gi owachonegi kane ogwedhogi, ka omiyo moro ka moro gweth moromore kode.
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.
Eka Jakobo nochiko yawuote kowachonegi niya, “An koro achiegni tho mondo adhi ariwra gi jowetena, yikauru but kwerena e rogo man e puoth Efron ja-Hiti.
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.
Rogo man e puodho man Makpela, machiegni gi Mamre e piny Kanaan, ema ne Ibrahim ongʼiewo kaka kar yiko kaachiel gi puodhono duto koa kuom Efron ja-Hiti.
31 There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried, and there I buried Leah.
Kanyo ema ne oike Ibrahim kod Sara chiege, kanyo bende ema ne oikie Isaka kod Rebeka chiege, kendo kanyo ema ne aikoe Lea.
32 The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the Hittites.”
Puodhono kod rogo duto mane ni e iye nongʼiew koa kuom jo-Hiti.”
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.
Kane Jakobo osetieko wacho wechegi ni yawuote kamano nodwoko tiende e kitanda, mi chunye nochot kendo noluwo kwerene.
