Genesis 49
1 Then Jacob called his sons, and he said to them: “Gather together, so that I may announce what will happen to you in the last days.
Jakop ni a capanaw a kaw teh ahnimouh koevah, hmalah nangmouh koe ka tho hane hnonaw ka dei thai nahanlah kamkhueng awh haw.
2 Gather together and listen, O sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
Nangmouh Jakop canaw kamkhueng awh nateh, na pa Isarel e lawk thai awh haw.
3 Reuben, my firstborn, you are my strength and the beginning of my sorrow: first in gifts, greater in authority.
Reuben, nang teh ka ca camin, ka hnosakthainae, ka thaonae, aluepaw, karasangpoung hoi a tha kaawm poung e lah na o.
4 You are being poured out like water, may you not increase. For you climbed onto your father’s bed, and you defiled his resting place.
Hatei, tui patetlah kâhuen e lungthin na tawn. Taluenae koe na phat mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang ni kaie ikhun dawk na luen teh na kamhnawng sak. Ka ikhun hah na tapam.
5 The brothers Simeon and Levi: vessels of iniquity waging war.
Simeon hoi Levih teh hmaunawngha roi doeh. Lungthin ponae senehmaica ao roinae hmuen koe ao roi.
6 Let not my soul go by their counsel, nor my glory be within their meeting. For in their fury they killed a man, and in their self-will they undermined a wall.
Ka muitha ni ahnimouh roi ni hro e hno dawk kâen mahoeh. Kaie bawilennae ni ahnimouh kamkhuengnae dawk bawk van mahoeh. Ahnimouh ni a lungkhuek teh tami a thei awh, ma ngainae pâlei teh khonaw a raphoe awh toe.
7 Cursed be their fury, because it was obstinate, and their indignation, because it was harsh. I will divide them in Jacob, and I will scatter them in Israel.
Ahnimouh lungkhueknae hah thoebonae lah awm naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, puenghoi a thasai. Ahnimouh lungkhueknae teh thoebo lah awm seh, bangkongtetpawiteh a kâoup awh. Jakop miphun Isarel catoun thung vah ahnimouh kâkayei sak han.
8 Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be at the necks of your enemies; the sons of your father will reverence you.
Oe Judah nang teh, hmaunawnghanaw ni pholen e lah na o han. Na kut teh na tarannaw e lahuen dawk na toung han. Na pa e capanaw ni na hmalah a tabut awh han.
9 Judah is a lion’s young. You have gone up to the prey, my son. While resting, you have lain like a lion. And just like a lioness, who would rouse him?
Judah teh sendektanca doeh. Ka capa ni moi kei nah koehoi na luen takhai hnukkhu, sendek hoi sendekmanu patetlah ka kâva ni teh ka kamkawn e hah apinimaw a pâhlaw ngam han.
10 The scepter from Judah and the leader from his thigh will not be taken away, until he who will be sent arrives, and he will be the expectation of Gentiles.
Siangpahrang sonron ni Judah tâcawt takhai mahoeh. Kâlawk kapoekung hai a khok rahak hoi kahmat mahoeh. Shiloh a tho hoehroukrak teh miphun pueng ni a lawk a ngai pouh han.
11 Tying his young colt to the vineyard, and his donkey, O my son, to the vine, he will wash his robe in wine, and his cloak in the blood of the grape.
Ahnie lanaw hah misurkung dawk a pen teh, lacanaw hah misurkung kahawi e dawk a pen. A hni hah misurtui dawk a pâsu teh a khohna hah misur thi dawk a pâsu.
12 His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
A mit teh misurtui hlak a paling teh, a hâ teh sanutui hlak a pangaw.
13 Zebulun will live at the seashore and by the outpost of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.
Zebulun teh long kâhatnae talî teng kho a sak han. Long kâhatnae hmuen lah ao han. A khori teh Zidon totouh han.
14 Issachar will be a strong donkey, reclining between the borders.
Issakhar teh mon rahak ka tabawk e a tha kaawm poung e doeh.
15 He saw that rest would be good, and that the land was excellent. And so he bent his shoulder to carry, and he became a servant under tribute.
Kâhatnae hah ahawi telah a pouk teh, a ram hah a nawm telah a pouk. Hno phu hanlah a loung a rahnoum sak teh, sannaw lah a coung awh.
16 Dan will judge his people just like any other tribe in Israel.
Dan ni a taminaw hah Isarel miphun rahak vah miphun buet touh patetlah lawkceng han.
17 Let Dan be a snake in the way, a viper in the path, biting the hooves of horses, so that his rider may fall backward.
Dan teh lam dawk kaawm e tahrun doeh. Marang kâcui e tami hnuklah rawp sak hanlah lam rahak ao teh, marang khok ka khuek e hrunthoe doeh.
18 I will wait for your salvation, O Lord.
Oe BAWIPA, na rungngangnae teh ouk ka ngaihawi.
19 Gad, being girded, will fight before him. And he himself will be girded backward.
Gad teh tarannaw ni tuk vaiteh, ahni ni hai bout a tuk van han.
20 Asher: his bread will be fat, and he will provide delicacies to the kings.
Asher teh canei koelah tawnta vaiteh, siangpahrang canei hanlah a tâco sak han.
21 Naphtali is a stag sent forth, offering words of eloquent beauty.
Naphtali teh sayuk patetlah dawkcawk vaiteh, lawk kahawi a dei han.
22 Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and stately to behold; the daughters run back and forth on the wall.
Joseph teh a paw kara e a kang lah ao teh, a kangnaw teh rapan naw dawk a yam han.
23 But those who held darts, provoked him, and they contend with him, and they envied him.
Licung kathoumnaw ni puenghoi a lungmathoe sak awh han. A ka awh teh a maithoe awh han.
24 His bow sits in strength, and the bands of his arms and hands have been let loose by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob. From there he went forth as a pastor, the stone of Israel.
Hatei ahnie licung teh a thayoun hoeh. Jakop Cathut e thaonae kut hoi thao sak e lah ao, Isarel ka khoum lungsong pawlawk lahoi yah,
25 The God of your father will be your helper, and the Almighty will bless you with the blessings of heaven above, with the blessings of the abyss that lies beneath, with the blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
na Cathut teh nang kabawm hane hoi Athakasaipounge ni teh talai hoi kalvan yawhawi hoi sanu hoi camo im yawhawi, nang yawhawi poe hanelah tha ao sak e doeh.
26 The blessings of your father are strengthened by the blessings of his fathers, until the desire of the hills of eternity shall arrive. May they be at the head of Joseph, and at the summit of the Nazarite, among his brothers.
Na pa e yawhawi na poe e ni mintoenaw e yawhawi poe e hlak a yungyoe mon pout totouh, hotnaw teh Joseph e lû dawk ao vaiteh, a hmaunawnghanaw thung hoi kapek e tami koe ao han.
27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, in the morning he will eat the prey, and in the evening he will divide the spoil.”
Benjamin teh Asui patetlah doeh ao. Amom vah a kei e moi a ca vaiteh, tangmin vah lawphno hah a thokhai han, telah ati.
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. These things their father spoke to them, and he blessed each one with their proper blessings.
Hetnaw teh Isarel miphun hlaikahni touh lah ao awh teh, hethateh a na pa ni ahnimouh koe a dei pouh e lawknaw doeh. Yawhawi a poe teh yawhawi a poe e patetlah buet touh hnukkhu buet touh yawhawi a poe.
29 And he instructed them, saying: “I am being gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Hahoi kai teh, ka mintoenaw koe ceikhai e lah ka o han toe. Hit tami Ephron lawhmuen dawk e talungkhu, Kanaan ram e Mamre hma lae Makpelah law e talungkhu, Abraham pakawpnae phuen,
30 opposite Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought, along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial.
Hit tami Ephron koevah lawhmuen khuehoi ran e dawk ka mintoenaw koe na pakawp awh loe.
31 There they buried him, with his wife Sarah.” And there Isaac was buried with his wife Rebekah. There also Leah lies preserved.
Hawvah Abraham hoi a yu Sarah a pakawp awh teh, hawvah Isak hoi a yu Rebekah a pakawp awh teh, hawvah Leah a pakawp awh.
Lawhmuen hoi a thung e talungkhunaw teh Heth naw koehoi ran e doeh telah ati.
33 And having finished these commands by which he instructed his sons, he drew his feet onto the bed, and he passed away. And he was gathered to his people.
Hottelah Jakop ni a canaw lawk he a thui hnukkhu, a khok hah ikhun dawk a taphawng teh a due teh, mintoenaw koe a pakawp awh.
