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:
Yaaqoob ilmaan isaa ofitti waamee akkana jedhe: “Akka ani waan bara dhumaa keessa isinitti dhufu isinitti himuuf mee walitti qabamaa.
2 Come together and listen, O sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.
“Yaa ilmaan Yaaqoob mee walitti qabamaa dhaggeeffadhaa; abbaa keessan Israaʼelin dhaggeeffadhaa.
3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.
“Yaa Ruubeen, ati ilma koo hangafa; humna koo, mallattoo jalqabaa kan jabina kootii ti; ati ulfinaan ni caalta; humnaan illee ni caalta.
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.
Ati akka bishaanii asii fi achi raafamta; ol aantummaas hin qabaattu; ati siree abbaa keetiitti ol baatee, afata kootti ol baatee xureessiteertaatii.
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers; their swords are weapons of violence.
“Simiʼoonii fi Lewwiin obboloota; goraadeen isaanii miʼa fincilaa ti.
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.
Lubbuun koo marii isaaniitti hin seenin; ulfinni koos yaaʼii isaaniitti hin dabalamin; isaan dheekkamsa isaaniitiin nama ajjeesaniiruutii; fedhii ofii isaaniitiinis qotiyyoo naafachiisaniiru.
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.
Aariin isaanii inni hamaan, dheekkamsi isaanii inni gara jabeessi abaaramaa haa taʼu! Ani Yaaqoob keessa isaan nan bittinneessa; Israaʼel keessas isaan nan facaasa.
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.
“Yaa Yihuudaa obboloonni kee si leellisu; harki kee morma diina keetii qaba; ilmaan abbaa keetii siif sagadu.
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?
Yaa Yihuudaa ati saafela leencaa ti; yaa ilma koo ati adamoodhaa deebita. Inni akka leencaa, akka leenca dhalaas, riphee ciisa; eenyutu ija jabaatee isa kaasa ree?
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.
Hamma bulchaan dhufutti bokkuun harka Yihuudaatii, uleen bulchiinsaa miilla isaa gidduudhaa hin dhabamu; saboonnis isaaf ni ajajamu.
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.
Inni harree isaa muka wayiniitti, ilmoo harree isaa immoo damee filatamaatti hidhata; wayyaa isaa daadhii wayiniitiin, wandaboo isaa immoo dhiiga gumaa wayiniitiin miiccata.
12 His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.
Iji isaa daadhii wayinii irra diimata; ilkaan isaa immoo aannan irra addaata.
13 Zebulun shall dwell by the seashore and become a harbor for ships; his border shall extend to Sidon.
“Zebuuloon qarqara galaanaa jiraata; buufata dooniiwwaniis taʼa; daangaan isaas hamma Siidoonaatti balʼata.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.
“Yisaakor harree jabaa feʼiisa lama gidduu ciisuu dha.
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.
Innis yeroo akka iddoon boqonnaa isaa hammam gaarii taʼee fi akka lafti isaa tolaa taʼe argutti baʼaa baachuuf gatiittii isaa gad qabata; hojii humnaa hojjechuuf of kenna.
16 Dan shall provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
“Daan gosoota Israaʼel keessaa akka isa tokkootti, saba isaatiif murtii qajeelaa ni kenna.
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.
Daan bofa qarqara karaa ti; akka buutii daandii irraa, kan akka namichi farda yaabbatu gara duubaatti kufuuf kottee fardaa idduu ni taʼa.
18 I await Your salvation, O LORD.
“Yaa Waaqayyo, ani fayyisuu kee nan eeggadha.
19 Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will attack their heels.
“Gaad weerartootaan ni dhaʼama; inni garuu faana buʼee isaan dhaʼa.
20 Asher’s food will be rich; he shall provide royal delicacies.
“Aasheer buddeenni isaa furdaa dha; inni mootiidhaaf nyaata tolaa ni kenna.
21 Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.
“Niftaalem borofa hiikamtee dha; dubbii gaariis ni dubbata.
22 Joseph is a fruitful vine— a fruitful vine by a spring, whose branches scale the wall.
“Yoosef muka wayinii ija qabeessa, muka wayinii ija qabeessa burqaa bishaaniitti dhiʼoo jiruu dha; dameen isaa dallaa irra yaaʼa.
23 The archers attacked him with bitterness; they aimed at him in hostility.
Warri iddaa qabatan waraana isatti banan; isatti futtaasan; isa jibbanis.
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,
Garuu iddaan isaa jabaatee hafe; irreen harka isaa, harka Waaqa Jabaa Yaaqoobiin jabeeffame. Achiis Tiksee sanaan, Kattaa Israaʼeliin,
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.
Waaqa abbaa keetii isa si gargaaruun, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isa eebba samii gubbaatiin, eebba gadi fagoo isa jalaatiin, eebba harmaatii fi gadameessaatiin si eebbisu sanaan ni eebbifamta.
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.
Eebbi abbaa keetii, eebba tulluuwwan durii, arjummaa gaarran durii caala. Kun hundi mataa Yoosefiitti, gubbee mataa isa obboloota isaa keessaa hoogganaa taʼeetti haa qabatu.
27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder.”
“Beniyaam yeeyyii baayʼee beelaʼee dha; ganama waan adamse itti gaggabee nyaata; galgala immoo boojuu hira.”
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.
Warri kunneen hundi gosoota Israaʼel kudha lamaan; kunis waan abbaan isaanii yeroo eebba tokkoo tokkoo isaaniif taʼuun isaan eebbisetti isaanitti dubbatee dha.
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.
Ergasiis Yaaqoob akkana jedhee isaan ajaje; “Ani gara saba kootiitti walitti qabamuu gaʼeera; holqa lafa qotiisaa Efroon namicha gosa Heeti sanaatti abbootii koo biratti na awwaalaa.
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.
Holqi kunis holqa biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti Mamree biratti lafa qotiisaa Makfelaa keessatti argamu kan Abrahaam iddoo awwaalaa godhachuuf Efroon namicha gosa Heeti sana irraa lafa qotiisaa wajjin bitatee dha.
31 There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried, and there I buried Leah.
Abrahaamii fi niitiin isaa Saaraan achitti awwaalaman; Yisihaaqii fi niitiin isaa Ribqaan achitti awwaalaman; anis achumattan Liyaa awwaale.
32 The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the Hittites.”
Lafti qotiisaatii fi holqi isa keessa jiru Heetota irraa bitaman.”
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.
Yaaqoob akkuma ilmaan isaa ajajuu raawwateen miilla isaa siree irratti ol deebifatee hafuura dhumaa baafate; gara saba isaattis walitti qabame.
