Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, and I will tell you what will befall you at the end of days.
Epi Jacob te rele fis li yo e te di: “Rasanble nou menm pou m kapab di nou sa k ap rive nou nan jou k ap vini yo.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father.
Rasanble nou ansanm e tande, fis a Jacob yo. Koute Israël, papa nou.
3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, My might, and the firstfruits of my vigour: Excellency of dignity, and excellency of strength.
Ruben, se ou ki premye ne mwen an; pouvwa mwen, kòmansman nan gwo fòs mwen, premye nan respè e premye nan fòs.
4 Impetuous as the waters, thou shalt have no pre-eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father's couch: Then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to my bed.
San kontwòl tankou dlo k ap bouyi, ou p ap genyen premye; akoz ke ou te monte sou kabann papa ou, epi ou te souye li. Li te monte sou kabann mwen.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren: Instruments of violence their swords.
Siméon avèk Lévi se frè yo ye. Nepe pa yo se zouti vyolans.
6 My soul, come not into their council; Mine honour, be not united with their assembly; For in their anger they slew men, And in their wantonness houghed oxen.
Pa kite nanm mwen antre nan konsèy pa yo; pa kite glwa mwen vin reyini avèk asanble pa yo. Akoz nan kòlè yo, yo te touye moun, e nan volonte egoyis pa yo, yo te koupe blese jarèt bèf.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it [was] violent; And their rage, for it [was] cruel! I will divide them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.
Modi se kòlè yo, paske li fewòs; epi vanjans yo, paske li te mechan. Mwen va separe yo nan Jacob, e gaye yo nan Israël.
8 Judah — [as to] thee, thy brethren will praise thee; Thy hand will be upon the neck of thine enemies; Thy father's children will bow down to thee.
Juda, frè ou yo va ba ou lwanj; men ou ap sou kou lènmi ou yo. Fis a papa ou yo va vin bese ba devan ou.
9 Judah is a young lion; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stoopeth, he layeth himself down as a lion, And as a lioness: who will rouse him up?
Juda se jèn pòtre a yon lyon; depi nan manje ou, fis mwen, ou gen tan monte. Li bese kò l, li kouche tankou yon lyon, e tankou yon lyon, se kilès ki gen kouraj pou fè l leve?
10 The sceptre will not depart from Judah, Nor the lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh come, And to him will be the obedience of peoples.
Baton gouvènans p ap janm sòti sou Juda, ni bwa règleman p ap janm antre pye li jis lè Schilo vini, e a li menm va parèt obeyisans a tout nasyon yo.
11 He bindeth his foal to the vine, And his ass's colt to the choice vine; He washeth his dress in wine, And his garment in the blood of grapes.
Li mare jenn bourik li ak pi bèl pye rezen an. Li lave vètman li yo nan diven, ak manto li yo nan san rezen yo.
12 The eyes are red with wine, And the teeth [are] white with milk.
Zye li fonse wouj akoz diven an, e dan li blanchi nan lèt la.
13 Zebulun will dwell at the shore of the seas; Yea, he will be at the shore of the ships, And his side [toucheth] upon Sidon.
Zabulon va demere bò lanmè; li va yon pwotèj pou gwo bato yo. Lizyè l va ak Sidon.
14 Issachar is a bony ass, Crouching down between two hurdles.
Issacar se yon bourik gwo fòs k ap kouche ba nan mitan makout bèt.
15 And he saw the rest that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And was a tributary servant.
Lè li te wè ke plas repo sa a te dous, e tè a te fè l plezi, li te double zepòl li pou pote chaj yo, e li te devni yon esklav pou kòve.
16 Dan will judge his people, As another of the tribes of Israel.
Dan va jije pèp li kon youn nan tribi Israël yo.
17 Dan will be a serpent on the way, A horned snake on the path, Which biteth the horse's heels, So that the rider falleth backwards.
Dan va yon sèpan ki nan wout, yon koulèv avèk kòn nan chemen k ap mòde talon cheval la, pou fè chevalye li tonbe an aryè.
18 I wait for thy salvation, O Jehovah.
Paske delivrans ou m ap tann, o SENYÈ.
19 Gad — troops will rush upon him; But he will rush upon the heel.
Pou Gad, piyajè yo va piyaje li, men li va piyaje vè talon pa yo.
20 Out of Asher, his bread shall be fat, And he will give royal dainties.
Pou Aser, manje li va rich, e li va pwodwi bagay ki delika e ki wayal.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose; He giveth goodly words.
Nephthali se yon bich ki vin lage. Li donnen bèl pitit.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough; A fruitful bough by a well; [His] branches shoot over the wall.
Joseph se yon branch ki donnen fwi; yon branch avèk fwi toupre yon sous. Branch li yo kouri sou yon miray.
23 The archers have provoked him, And shot at, and hated him;
Achè yo te atake avèk rayisman, yo te tire sou li e yo te anmède li;
24 But his bow abideth firm, And the arms of his hands are supple By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob. From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:
men banza li te rete fèm, e bwa li yo te fò; depi nan men Toupwisan Jacob la (depi la se Bèje a, Wòch Israël la),
25 From the God of thy father, and he will help thee; And from the Almighty, and he will bless thee — With blessings of heaven from above, With blessings of the deep that lieth under, With blessings of the breast and of the womb.
Depi nan Bondye a papa ou ki bay ou soutyen an; Toupwisan an ki beni ou avèk benediksyon anwo nan syèl la, benediksyon ki sòti nan fon ki anba a, e benediksyon tete matris ak vant ki te fè ou a.
26 The blessings of thy father surpass the blessings of my ancestors, Unto the bounds of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
Benediksyon a papa ou yo gen tan fin depase sila a zansèt pa m yo jis rive nan limit kolin ki dire pou tout tan yo. Yo va rete sou tèt a Joseph, sou kouwòn a tèt ki byen distenge pami frè li yo.
27 Benjamin — [as] a wolf will he tear to pieces; In the morning he will devour the prey, And in the evening he will divide the booty.
Benjamin se yon lou voras; nan maten li va devore sa ke li kenbe, e nan aswè, li va divize piyaj la.”
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them; and he blessed them: every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
Tout sa yo se douz tribi Israël yo, e se sa ke papa yo te di yo lè li te beni yo. Li te beni yo, yo chak avèk yon benediksyon ke yo te merite.
29 And he charged them, and said to them, I am gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Konsa, li te bay yo chaj, e li te di yo: “Mwen prèt pou ranmase vè moun mwen yo. Antere mwen avèk zansèt mwen yo nan kav ki nan chan Éphron a, Etyen an,
30 in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is opposite to Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought of Ephron the Hittite along with the field for a possession of a sepulchre.
nan kav ki nan chan Macpéla a, ki avan Mamré nan peyi Canaan an, ke Abraham te achte ansanm avèk chan nan men Éphron, Etyen an pou yon plas antèman.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebecca his wife; and there I buried Leah.
“La menm yo te antere Abraham avèk madanm li Sarah, la yo te antere Isaac avèk madanm li Rebecca, e se la mwen te antere Léa;
32 The purchase of the field, and of the cave that is in it, was from the children of Heth.
chan an avèk kav ki ladann nan, te achte nan men fis a Heth yo.”
33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered to his peoples.
Lè li te fin chaje fis li yo, li te rale pye li anndan kabann nan, li te respire dènye souf li, e li te vin ranmase vè moun li yo.
