< 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:
Sai Yaƙub ya kira’ya’yansa maza ya ce, “Ku tattaru don in faɗa muku abin da zai faru gare ku, a kwanaki masu zuwa.
2 Come together and listen, O sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.
“Ku tattaru, ku saurara,’ya’yan Yaƙub maza; ku saurari mahaifinku, Isra’ila.
3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.
“Ruben, kai ne ɗan farina, ƙarfina, alamar farko ta ƙarfina, mafi matsayi, kuma mafi iko.
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.
Mai tumbatsa kamar ruwa, amma ba za ka ƙara zama mai daraja ba, gama ka hau gadon mahaifinka ka hau kujerata, ka kuma ƙazantar da shi.
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers; their swords are weapons of violence.
“Simeyon da Lawi’yan’uwa ne, takubansu makamai ne na tā da hankali.
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.
Ba zan shiga shawararsu ba, ba zan shiga taronsu ba, gama sun kashe maza cikin fushinsu cikin ganin dama suka kashe bijimai.
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.
La’ananne ne fushinsu, mai tsanani ne ƙwarai, hasalarsu kuwa, muguwa ce ƙwarai! Zan warwatsa su cikin Yaƙub in kuma daidaita su cikin Isra’ila.
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.
“Yahuda,’yan’uwanka za su yabe ka; hannuwanka za su kasance a wuyan abokan gābanka,’ya’yan mahaifinka maza za su rusuna maka.
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?
Kai ɗan zaki ne, ya Yahuda, ka dawo daga farauta, ɗana. Kamar zaki, yakan kwanta a miƙe, kamar zakanya, wa yake da ƙarfin halin tashe shi?
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.
Kursiyi ba zai tashi daga Yahuda ba, ba kuwa sandan mulki daga tsakani ƙafafunsa ba, sai ya zo ga wanda yake mai shi. Biyayyar al’umma kuwa tasa ce.
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.
Zai daure jakinsa a kuringa, aholakinsa a rassa mafi kyau; zai wanke tufafinsa cikin ruwan inabi rigunansa cikin inabi ja wur kamar jini.
12 His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.
Idanunsa za su duhunce fiye da ruwan inabi, haƙorarsa farare kamar madara.
13 Zebulun shall dwell by the seashore and become a harbor for ships; his border shall extend to Sidon.
“Zebulun zai zauna a bakin teku, yă zama tasar jiragen ruwa; iyakarsa za tă nausa zuwa Sidon.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.
“Issakar doki mai ƙarfi, kwance tsakanin buhunan sirdi.
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.
Sa’ad da ya ga yadda wurin hutunsa yana da kyau da kuma daɗin da ƙasarsa take, zan tanƙware kafaɗarsa ga nauyi yă miƙa kai ga aikin dole.
16 Dan shall provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
“Dan zai tanada adalci wa mutanensa kamar ɗaya cikin kabilan Isra’ila.
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 zai zama maciji a gefen hanya, kububuwa a bakin hanya, da take saran ɗiɗɗigen doki domin mahayinsa yă fāɗi da baya.
18 I await Your salvation, O LORD.
“Ina zuba ido ga cetonka, ya Ubangiji.
19 Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will attack their heels.
“Masu fashi za su fāɗa wa Gad, amma zai runtume su.
20 Asher’s food will be rich; he shall provide royal delicacies.
“Abincin Asher zai zama a wadace, zai yi tanadin abinci iri-iri da suka dace don sarki.
21 Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.
“Naftali sakakkiyar barewa ce da take haihuwar kyawawan’ya’ya.
22 Joseph is a fruitful vine— a fruitful vine by a spring, whose branches scale the wall.
“Yusuf kuringa ce mai ba da amfani. Kuringa mai ba da amfani kusa da rafi wadda rassanta na hawan bango.
23 The archers attacked him with bitterness; they aimed at him in hostility.
Da ɗaci rai mahara suka fāɗa masa; suka harbe shi babu tausayi.
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,
Amma bakansa yana nan daram hannuwansa masu ƙarfi ba sa jijjiguwa saboda hannun Maɗaukaki na Yaƙub, saboda Makiyayi, Dutsen Isra’ila,
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.
saboda Allah na mahaifinka, wanda ya taimake ka, saboda Maɗaukaki, wanda yake albarkace ka da albarkar sama da take bisa albarkun zurfafa da suke ƙarƙashin ƙasa albarkun mama da kuma mahaifa.
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.
Albarkun mahaifi suna da girma fiye da albarkun daɗaɗɗun duwatsu fiye da yalwar madawwaman tuddai. Bari dukan waɗannan su zauna a kan Yusuf, a goshin ɗan sarki a cikin’yan’uwansa.
27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder.”
“Benyamin kyarkeci ne mai kisa; da safe yakan cinye abin da ya farauto da yamma yakan raba ganima.”
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.
Dukan waɗannan su ne kabilu goma sha biyu na Isra’ila, kuma abin da mahaifinsu ya faɗa musu ke nan sa’ad da ya albarkace su, yana ba kowane albarkar da ta dace da shi.
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.
Sa’an nan ya ba su waɗannan umarnai ya ce, “Ina gab da a tara ni ga mutanena. Ku binne ni tare da kakannina a kogon da yake cikin filin Efron mutumin Hitti,
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.
kogon da yake cikin filin Makfela, kusa da Mamre a Kan’ana, wanda Ibrahim ya saya tare da filin, yă zama makabarta daga Efron mutumin Hitti.
31 There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried, and there I buried Leah.
A can aka binne Ibrahim da matarsa Saratu, a can aka binne Ishaku da matarsa Rebeka, a can kuma na binne Liyatu.
32 The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the Hittites.”
Filin tare da kogon da yake ciki, an saya daga Hittiyawa.”
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.
Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya gama ba da umarnan ga’ya’yansa maza, sai ya ɗaga ƙafafunsa zuwa gado, ya ja numfashinsa na ƙarshe, aka kuwa tara shi ga mutanensa.
