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.
Jakobi abengaki bana na ye ya mibali mpe alobaki: — Bosangana mpo ete nakoka koyebisa bino makambo oyo ekokomela bino na mikolo oyo ekoya.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father.
Bosangana mpe boyoka, bana mibali ya Jakobi! Boyoka oyo tata na bino Isalaele akoloba:
3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, My might, and the firstfruits of my vigour: Excellency of dignity, and excellency of strength.
« Ribeni, ozali mwana na ngai ya liboso, makasi na ngai, elembo ya liboso ya makasi na ngai; oleki na lokumu mpe na nguya.
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.
Mobulu lokola mayi, okokende liboso te, pamba te omataki na mbeto ya tata na yo, esika oyo ngai nalalaka, mpe okomisi yango mbindo.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren: Instruments of violence their swords.
Simeoni mpe Levi bazali bandeko, mipanga na bango ezali bibundeli mpo na kotia mobulu.
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.
Molimo na ngai, kosangana te na mabongisi na bango ya kosala mabe! Lokumu na ngai, kokota te na lisanga na bango! Pamba te na kanda na bango, babomaki bato; mpe na esengo na bango, basepelaki kokata misisa ya makolo ya bangombe ya mibali.
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.
Tika ete kanda na bango elakelama mabe, pamba te ezali makasi! Tika ete kotomboka na bango elakelama mabe, pamba te ezanga mawa! Nakokabola bango na Jakobi mpe nakopanza bango kati na Isalaele.
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.
Yuda, bandeko na yo ya mibali bakokumisa yo, loboko na yo ekozala na kingo ya banguna na yo; bana mibali ya tata na yo bakogumbama liboso na yo.
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?
Yuda, ozali mwana ya nkosi; mwana na ngai ya mobali, owuti na bokila. Agunzami mpe alali lokola nkosi ya mobali; mpe lokola nkosi ya mwasi, nani akomeka kotelemisa ye?
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.
Nzete ya bokonzi ekolongwa te na Yuda, lingenda mpe ekolongwa te kati na makolo na ye, kino tango nkolo na ye akoya, nkolo oyo bikolo nyonso ekotosa.
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.
Akokanga ane na ye na nzete ya vino, mpe mwana ya ane na etape oyo ye akopona; akosukola bilamba na ye na vino; mpe kazaka na ye, na masanga ya vino ya motane.
12 The eyes are red with wine, And the teeth [are] white with milk.
Miso na ye ekozala motane koleka vino, mpe minu na ye ekozala pembe koleka miliki.
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.
Zabuloni akowumela pene ya ebale monene, eteni ya mabele na ye ekozala libongo ya masuwa, mpe mabele na ye ekokende kino na Sidoni.
14 Issachar is a bony ass, Crouching down between two hurdles.
Isakari azali ane ya makasi oyo elali kati na mapango mibale.
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.
Amonaki ete bopemi ezali malamu, mpe mokili na ye ezali kitoko; boye mapeka na ye ekomema mikumba mpe abongi mpo na misala ya bowumbu.
16 Dan will judge his people, As another of the tribes of Israel.
Dani akokamba bato na ye lokola moko kati na bikolo ya Isalaele.
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.
Dani akozala lokola nyoka na balabala to lokola etupa na nzela, oyo eswaka litindi ya mpunda mpo ete motambolisi na yango akweya.
18 I wait for thy salvation, O Jehovah.
Oh Yawe, nazali na elikya ete okobikisa ngai!
19 Gad — troops will rush upon him; But he will rush upon the heel.
Gadi, banguna ebele bakobundisa ye, kasi ye mpe akobundisa bango kino kobengana bango.
20 Out of Asher, his bread shall be fat, And he will give royal dainties.
Bilei oyo ekobima na mokili ya Aseri ekozala ebele penza; mabele na ye ekobota biloko oyo ebongi mpo na bakonzi.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose; He giveth goodly words.
Nefitali azali lokola mboloko ya nsomi, oyo ebotaka bana kitoko.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough; A fruitful bough by a well; [His] branches shoot over the wall.
Jozefi azali lokola nzete oyo ebotaka mbuma mingi, nzete oyo ezalaka pembeni ya etima, mpe oyo bitape na yango elekaka bosanda ya mir.
23 The archers have provoked him, And shot at, and hated him;
Banguna batumbolaki ye, babwakelaki ye makonga mpe babundisaki ye;
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:
kasi ye asimbaki kaka makasi tolotolo na ye, mpe maboko na ye etikalaki kolenga te mpo na loboko ya Elombe ya Jakobi, oyo azali Mobateli mpate, Libanga ya Isalaele.
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.
Mpo na Nzambe ya tata na yo, tika ete asungaka yo! mpo na Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, tika ete apambola yo, apambola yo na mapamboli ya Lola, wuta na likolo; na mapamboli ya bozindo, na se; na mapamboli ya mabele mpe ya libumu.
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.
Mapamboli ya tata na yo ezali na motuya koleka mapamboli ya bangomba ya kala, koleka bomengo ya bangomba mike ya kala; tika ete mapamboli nyonso ekita na moto ya Jozefi, ekitela ye oyo atombolami kati na bandeko na ye!
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.
Benjame azali lokola mbwa ya zamba; na tongo, apasolaka mosuni na ye; na pokwa, akabolaka bomengo ya bitumba. »
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.
Bango nyonso nde basali bikolo zomi na mibale ya Isalaele; mpe oyo ezali maloba oyo tata na bango alobaki na bango tango apambolaki bango. Apesaki na moko na moko lipamboli oyo ekoki na ye.
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,
Jakobi apesaki bango malako oyo: « Nakomi pene ya kokende kokutana na batata na ngai. Bokunda ngai esika moko na bango, na lilita oyo ezali na elanga ya Efroni, moto ya Iti,
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.
kati na lidusu ya mabanga ya Makipela, pembeni ya Mamire, na mokili ya Kanana, elanga oyo Abrayami asombaki na Efroni, moto ya Iti, lokola lilita.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebecca his wife; and there I buried Leah.
Ezalaki kuna nde bakundaki Abrayami mpe Sara, mwasi na ye; Izaki mpe Rebeka, mwasi na ye. Ezali kuna nde ngai nakundaki Lea.
32 The purchase of the field, and of the cave that is in it, was from the children of Heth.
Elanga mpe lidusu ya mabanga oyo ezali kati na yango esombamaki epai ya bato ya Iti. »
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.
Tango Jakobi asilisaki kopesa malako epai ya bana na ye, asembolaki makolo na ye na mbeto, akataki motema mpe akendeki kokutana na batata na ye.
