Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called his sons, and said to them: Gather yourselves together that I may tell you the things that shall befall you in the last days.
Eka Jakobo noluongo yawuote mowachonegi niya, “Biuru machiegni mondo anyisu gima biro timorenu e ndalo mabiro.
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, O ye sons of Jacob, hearken to Israel your father:
“Un yawuot Jakobo chokreuru buta kendo uchik itu; winjuru Israel wuonu.
3 Ruben, my firstborn, thou art my strength, and the beginning of my sorrow: excelling in gifts, greater in command.
“Reuben, in e wuoda makayo, kendo in e tekona kendo in e ranyisi mokwongo mar tekra, bende in giluor mangʼeny kod teko mangʼeny.
4 Thou art poured out as water, grow thou not: because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed, and didst defile his couch.
Ijamuomri ka pi aora, to ok inibed gi duongʼ, nikech isedonjori, gi kitanda wuonu ma ichido.
5 Simeon and Levi brethren: vessels of iniquity, waging war.
“Simeon gi Lawi gin owete, gisetimo timbe mag lweny gi liganglagi.
6 Let not my soul go into their counsel, nor my glory be in their assembly: because in their fury they slew a man, and in their selfwill they undermined a wall.
Ok nariwra kodgi e buchegi, ok nariwra kodgi e chokruogegi, nikech ka mirima omakogi to ginego ji kendo gingʼado odond dhok sa asaya ka gihero.
7 Cursed be their fury, because it was stubborn: and their wrath because it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel.
Okwongʼ mirimbgi nikech en mirima mager kendo makwiny. Anakegi e kind joka Jakobo kendo akegi e piny Israel duto.
8 Juda, thee shall thy brethren praise: thy hands shall be on the necks of thy enemies: the sons of thy father shall bow down to thee.
“Juda, oweteni biro paki; bende inimak wasiki gi ngʼutgi, kendo oweteni biro kuloreni.
9 Juda is a lion’s whelp: to the prey, my son, thou art gone up: resting thou hast couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him?
Yaye Juda nyathina, ichalo nyathi sibuor, modwogo koa dwar. Obuto ka sibuor madhako monindo piny, maonge ngʼama nyalo chiewo.
10 The sceptre shall not be taken away from Juda, nor a ruler from his thigh, till he come that is to be sent, and he shall be the expectation of nations.
Ludh duongʼ ok noa e lwet Juda kata odunga mar teko ok noa e tiende, nyaka wuon loch ma biro rito ogendini duto chopi kendo luor mar ogendini nobed kuome.
11 Tying his foal to the vineyard, and his ass, O my son, to the vine. He shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape.
Obiro tweyo pundane e kor mzabibu, enotue nyathi pundane e mzabibu moyier; kendo obiro luoko lepe gi divai makwar.
12 His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
Wangʼe nobed makwar moloyo divai kendo lake nobed matar ka chak.
13 Zabulon shall dwell on the sea shore, and in the road of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.
“Zebulun nodag e dho nam kama yiedhi gowe, kendo tongʼ mare nodhi nyaka Sidon.
14 Issachar shall be a strong ass lying down between the borders.
“Isakar en punda maratego ma nindo piny e dier misikene.
15 He saw rest that it was good: and the land that it was excellent: and he bowed his shoulder to carry, and became a servant under tribute.
Kane oneno kaka dalane ber, kendo kaka pinyno ber, noyie tingʼo misigo modoko misumba matiyo tich matek.
16 Dan shall judge his people like another tribe in Israel.
“Dan nobed jangʼad bura ne joge mana kaka achiel kuom oganda Israel.
17 Let Dan be a snake in the way, a serpent in the path, that biteth the horse’s heels that his rider may fall backward.
Dan nobed ka thuol man e dir yo, thuol man-gi kwiri mager e yo, ma kayo ombongʼ Faras mondo ngʼama oidhe ochwanyre magore piny gi kangʼeye.
18 I will look for thy salvation, O Lord.
“Aserito warruok yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
19 Gad, being girded, shall fight before him: and he himself shall be girded backward.
“Gad to nomonj gi jomecho, to noriembgi kolawogi matek.
20 Aser, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield dainties to kings.
“Asher nobed gi chiemo mamit; nobed gi chiemo moromo ruoth chamo.
21 Nephtali, a hart let loose, and giving words of beauty.
“Naftali to en mwanda mogony, ma nywolo nyithindo mabeyo.
22 Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and comely to behold; the daughters run to and fro upon the wall.
“Josef en mzabibu manyago olemo mopidh e bath thidhna, ma bedene ogawore e kor ot.
23 But they that held darts provoked him, and quarrelled with him, and envied him.
Jodir asere nolawe matek kokecho, ne gibaye gi asere ka igi owangʼ.
24 His bow rested upon the strong, and the bands of his arms and his hands were loosed, by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob: thence he came forth a pastor, the stone of Israel.
Kata kamano, Nyasaye Maratego ma Nyasach Jakobo noturo atungegi, kendo Jakwath, ma Lwanda mar Israel, nochodo leche mag ogich bedegi.
25 The God of thy father shall be thy helper, and the Almighty shall bless thee with the blessings of heaven above, with the blessings of the deep that lieth beneath, with the blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
Nyasach wuonuno ma en Nyasaye Maratego, mondo ogwedhi gi gweth mag polo gi gweth mag nyak mag lowo, gi gweth mag nyithindo.
26 The blessings of thy father are strengthened with the blessings of his fathers: until the desire of the everlasting hills should come; may they be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the Nazarite among his brethren.
Gweth mag wuoro dongo moloyo gweth mag gode madongo machon, kendo moloyo gik mabeyo duto mag gode mosiko. Gwethgi mondo obi ne Josef, ngʼat mane opog gi jowetene.
27 Benjamin a ravenous wolf, in the morning shall eat the prey, and in the evening shall divide the spoil.
“Benjamin en ondiek ma kech kayo; gima osenego ochamo gokinyi, kendo godhiambo okidho matindo tindo gima osemako.”
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: these things their father spoke to them, and he blessed every one, with their proper blessings.
Magi e dhout Israel apar gariyo duto kendo mae gima ne wuon-gi owachonegi kane ogwedhogi, ka omiyo moro ka moro gweth moromore kode.
29 And he charged them, saying: I am now going to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hethite,
Eka Jakobo nochiko yawuote kowachonegi niya, “An koro achiegni tho mondo adhi ariwra gi jowetena, yikauru but kwerena e rogo man e puoth Efron ja-Hiti.
30 Over against Mambre in the land of Chanaan, which Abraham bought together with the field of Ephron the Hethite for a possession to bury in.
Rogo man e puodho man Makpela, machiegni gi Mamre e piny Kanaan, ema ne Ibrahim ongʼiewo kaka kar yiko kaachiel gi puodhono duto koa kuom Efron ja-Hiti.
31 There they buried him, and Sara his wife: there was Isaac buried with Rebecca his wife: there also Lia doth lie buried.
Kanyo ema ne oike Ibrahim kod Sara chiege, kanyo bende ema ne oikie Isaka kod Rebeka chiege, kendo kanyo ema ne aikoe Lea.
Puodhono kod rogo duto mane ni e iye nongʼiew koa kuom jo-Hiti.”
33 And when he had ended the commandments, wherewith he instructed his sons, he drew up his feet upon the bed, and died: and he was gathered to his people.
Kane Jakobo osetieko wacho wechegi ni yawuote kamano nodwoko tiende e kitanda, mi chunye nochot kendo noluwo kwerene.
