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:
Basa naa ma, Yakob denu roꞌe basa ana nara. Ara rema ma, nafadꞌe nae, “Ana nggare! Ima miꞌibꞌue deka mo au dei. Au ae ufadꞌe hei esa-esaꞌ dala masodꞌa na sia fai maꞌabui na.”
2 Come together and listen, O sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.
Basa ma Yakob nafadꞌe memaꞌ ana nara nae, “Taꞌo ia! Yakob ana nara! Ima, mimbiriiꞌ rereoꞌ au. Rena ama ma Israꞌel oꞌolaꞌ na.
3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.
Ruben! Ho ia, au ana ulu ngga! Au teteas ngga, ma lima ona ngga. Atahori fee hadat lenaꞌ neu nggo.
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.
Te rala ma nda matetuꞌ sa, nda mitaꞌ mae hihii-nanau ma bee sa boe, onaꞌ tasiꞌ ree na neu-nema. Aiboiꞌ ma, muu sungguꞌ mo sao ngga Bilha, de munggenggeo ama ma koi na. Naa de, ho panggat aꞌa ma mopo e.
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers; their swords are weapons of violence.
Simeon ma Lewi! Hei ruꞌa nggi ona esaꞌ, huu ama akaꞌ mae mitati, tao miꞌisususaꞌ atahori.
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.
Hei maꞌahe tati miꞌetuꞌ sapi ra ei ua nara, fo ara sorereo reuꞌ a mamana nara. Hei deꞌulaka mara fai, hei miminasa seli ma henggu nisi mara, losa misa atahori ra. Naa de, au nda nau rena hei oꞌola mara sa. Au o nda nau sambor o hei dedꞌea ma sa.
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.
De ia naa, au sumba-ndoo nasaborii mara, huu naseliꞌ ena. Ma nasa mara nda miꞌena sue-laiꞌ mbei sa boe. Dei fo mesaꞌ nggi lemba-dꞌoi deꞌulaka mara naa. Lamatualain mbia-nggari tititi-nonosi mara, fo ara leo nggari-nggari sudꞌiꞌ a bee reu sia rae Israꞌel.
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! Nara ma sosoa na nae ‘koa-kio’. Dei fo odꞌi-aꞌa mara koa ma fee hadat neu nggo. Boe ma ho tuni-ndeni musu mara, losa ara nda botiꞌ rala langga nara sa.
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?
Ho onaꞌ a meoaku manaseliꞌ, sangga nanaat ao ma. Meoaku mone lea ao na fo nae sungguꞌ, ma nda hambu atahori rambarani reti ngganggu sa. Meoaku ine nanea ana na, ma nda hambu atahori rambarani reti ngganggu sa. Atahori o ramatau nggo, de nda rambarani tao mataꞌ-mataꞌ neu nggo sa.
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.
Dei fo ho ia, toꞌu parendaꞌ. Tititi-nonosi mara boe o toꞌu parendaꞌ tungga-tungga, losa esa mana naena hak manaseliꞌ endoꞌ toꞌu parendaꞌ naa. Basa leo ra ramahere ma rena e.
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.
Dei fo musodꞌa no nemehoꞌot. Hii saa, naa, akaꞌ a sia. Mae tao saa o, dadꞌiꞌ a. Banda mara, no osi ra mbule-bꞌoa nara o nae na seli, losa leꞌa-nggari.
12 His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.
Ho nana-nininu mara, maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ, nda basa-bꞌasa sa.
13 Zebulun shall dwell by the seashore and become a harbor for ships; his border shall extend to Sidon.
Sebulon! Ho rae-oe mara loa na seli, deka noꞌ a tasiꞌ, natooꞌ no kota Sidꞌon. Ofai mia bee-bꞌee rema nggari nafuꞌ no leo nenee sia namo ma.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.
Isaskar! Ho ia, onaꞌ banda keledei maꞌadereꞌ, huu langga fatu ma nda nenelabꞌan sa. Mete ma keledei luꞌu sia dalaꞌ taladꞌa na, esa o nda bisa nafefelaꞌ e sa, fo laoꞌ nakandoo fai. Mete ma keledei nita kambo maloleꞌ sia seriꞌ na, naa, nda denu sa o, lemba nala neꞌefufuan fo lao neuꞌ ena. Ho, onaꞌ naa boe.
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.
16 Dan shall provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan! Nara ma sosoa na ‘mana nggero’. Ho ia, mo tititi-nonosi mara, dei fo miꞌetuꞌ Israꞌel ra dedꞌea nda misilaꞌe esa saꞌ boe.
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.
Ho ia onaꞌ mengge mana sungguꞌ sia dalaꞌ suu na. Mete ma atahori sae ndara tungga naa, aiboiꞌ na, mengge a ero ndara ei na, de atahori naa tudꞌa. Ho o muꞌutetee hahambuꞌ, naa mata muu.
18 I await Your salvation, O LORD.
LAMATUALAIN! Au hule-huleꞌ fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu basa hai.
19 Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will attack their heels.
Gad! Nara ma lii na naeꞌ a onaꞌ a ‘netati’. Dei fo mana rambok ra ratati ro nggo, te mutati musenggiꞌ se.
20 Asher’s food will be rich; he shall provide royal delicacies.
Aser! Dei fo osi mara mbule-bꞌoa nara malole na seli. Losa ho bisa tao kokis mataꞌ-mataꞌ, fo maneꞌ ra rema hasa sia nggo.
21 Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.
Naftali! Ho ia, onaꞌ banda rusa ine mana nela fuiꞌ, huu nda hambu atahori ralalao nggo sa. Ho o bꞌonggi mala ana mara akaꞌ a meulauꞌ ra.
22 Joseph is a fruitful vine— a fruitful vine by a spring, whose branches scale the wall.
Yusuf! Ho onaꞌ hau huu mana malonggeꞌ nasodꞌa deka no oe mataꞌ. Ho dꞌana mara nama risiꞌ lutu naruꞌ.
23 The archers attacked him with bitterness; they aimed at him in hostility.
Hambu atahori fua rala mera nara neu nggo, onaꞌ musu a busu nggo.
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,
Te Lamatualain fo au umuhereꞌ a, tulu-fali nggo. Ana tao lima ma maꞌadereꞌ, fo busu labꞌan baliꞌ se. Mae mia dꞌoo-dꞌooꞌ o, ho musenggiꞌ se, huu Lamatualain tulun nggo. Koasa Na memaꞌ manaseliꞌ tebꞌe. De au umuhena E, huu Ana mana nanea au.
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.
Dei fo Ana nanea nggo. Ana fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ mia lalai ma raefafoꞌ. Ana o fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fo bꞌonggi anaꞌ ao meulauꞌ hetar.
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.
Mbuku-leteꞌ ra nda mopo sa. Ma au papala-babꞌanggi ngga ia, naeꞌ lenaꞌ basa papala-babꞌanggi mia mbuku-leteꞌ ra! Basa papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ia ra, mbori-mboꞌa neu nggo, huu ho manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ odꞌi-aꞌa mara.
27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder.”
Benyamin! Mbarani ma onaꞌ busa fui mana ndoeꞌ. Feꞌe fefetuꞌ, ana neu sombu nala nanaat na ena. Te mete ma tetembaꞌ, ana neu babanggi sisa-sisa nara, fee ana nara. Tititi-nonosi mara o manaseliꞌ onaꞌ naa boe!”
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.
No taꞌo naa, Yakob nafadꞌe memaꞌ ana nara dala masodꞌa nara sia fai maꞌabui na, esa-esaꞌ no tititi-nonosi na. Basa se mana raꞌondaꞌ leo Israꞌel kasanahulu ruaꞌ ra.
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.
Basa boe ma, Yakob noꞌe ana nara fo helu nae, “Nda dooꞌ sa te, au mate. Mete ma au mate, naa hei musi miꞌoi au sia Baꞌi Abraham rates na. Rates naa sia luat, deka no kambo Makpela no Mamre sia rae Kanaꞌan. Maꞌahulu na, Baꞌi Abraham hasa luat naa no osi fo tao neu mamana rates. Ana hasa etu mia atahori Het, naran Efron.
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.
31 There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried, and there I buried Leah.
Sia naa raꞌoi hita baꞌi Abraham no bei Sara, ma ama ngga Isak no ina ngga Ribka. Dadꞌi hei musi miꞌoi au sia naa, sia sao ngga Lea bobꞌoa na.
32 The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the Hittites.”
De hei afiꞌ liliiꞌ miꞌoi au sia luat fo baꞌi Abraham hasa nalaꞌ naa.”
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.
Yakob olaꞌ basa ma, ana sungguꞌ bali neu koi, ma mate e boe.
