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.
Yaaqoob ilmaan isaa ofitti waamee akkana jedhe: “Akka ani waan bara dhumaa keessa isinitti dhufu isinitti himuuf mee walitti qabamaa.
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, O ye sons of Jacob, hearken to Israel your father:
“Yaa ilmaan Yaaqoob mee walitti qabamaa dhaggeeffadhaa; abbaa keessan Israaʼelin dhaggeeffadhaa.
3 Ruben, my firstborn, thou art my strength, and the beginning of my sorrow: excelling in gifts, greater in command.
“Yaa Ruubeen, ati ilma koo hangafa; humna koo, mallattoo jalqabaa kan jabina kootii ti; ati ulfinaan ni caalta; humnaan illee ni caalta.
4 Thou art poured out as water, grow thou not: because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed, and didst defile his couch.
Ati akka bishaanii asii fi achi raafamta; ol aantummaas hin qabaattu; ati siree abbaa keetiitti ol baatee, afata kootti ol baatee xureessiteertaatii.
5 Simeon and Levi brethren: vessels of iniquity, waging war.
“Simiʼoonii fi Lewwiin obboloota; goraadeen isaanii miʼa fincilaa ti.
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.
Lubbuun koo marii isaaniitti hin seenin; ulfinni koos yaaʼii isaaniitti hin dabalamin; isaan dheekkamsa isaaniitiin nama ajjeesaniiruutii; fedhii ofii isaaniitiinis qotiyyoo naafachiisaniiru.
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.
Aariin isaanii inni hamaan, dheekkamsi isaanii inni gara jabeessi abaaramaa haa taʼu! Ani Yaaqoob keessa isaan nan bittinneessa; Israaʼel keessas isaan nan facaasa.
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.
“Yaa Yihuudaa obboloonni kee si leellisu; harki kee morma diina keetii qaba; ilmaan abbaa keetii siif sagadu.
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?
Yaa Yihuudaa ati saafela leencaa ti; yaa ilma koo ati adamoodhaa deebita. Inni akka leencaa, akka leenca dhalaas, riphee ciisa; eenyutu ija jabaatee isa kaasa ree?
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.
Hamma bulchaan dhufutti bokkuun harka Yihuudaatii, uleen bulchiinsaa miilla isaa gidduudhaa hin dhabamu; saboonnis isaaf ni ajajamu.
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.
Inni harree isaa muka wayiniitti, ilmoo harree isaa immoo damee filatamaatti hidhata; wayyaa isaa daadhii wayiniitiin, wandaboo isaa immoo dhiiga gumaa wayiniitiin miiccata.
12 His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
Iji isaa daadhii wayinii irra diimata; ilkaan isaa immoo aannan irra addaata.
13 Zabulon shall dwell on the sea shore, and in the road of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.
“Zebuuloon qarqara galaanaa jiraata; buufata dooniiwwaniis taʼa; daangaan isaas hamma Siidoonaatti balʼata.
14 Issachar shall be a strong ass lying down between the borders.
“Yisaakor harree jabaa feʼiisa lama gidduu ciisuu dha.
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.
Innis yeroo akka iddoon boqonnaa isaa hammam gaarii taʼee fi akka lafti isaa tolaa taʼe argutti baʼaa baachuuf gatiittii isaa gad qabata; hojii humnaa hojjechuuf of kenna.
16 Dan shall judge his people like another tribe in Israel.
“Daan gosoota Israaʼel keessaa akka isa tokkootti, saba isaatiif murtii qajeelaa ni kenna.
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.
Daan bofa qarqara karaa ti; akka buutii daandii irraa, kan akka namichi farda yaabbatu gara duubaatti kufuuf kottee fardaa idduu ni taʼa.
18 I will look for thy salvation, O Lord.
“Yaa Waaqayyo, ani fayyisuu kee nan eeggadha.
19 Gad, being girded, shall fight before him: and he himself shall be girded backward.
“Gaad weerartootaan ni dhaʼama; inni garuu faana buʼee isaan dhaʼa.
20 Aser, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield dainties to kings.
“Aasheer buddeenni isaa furdaa dha; inni mootiidhaaf nyaata tolaa ni kenna.
21 Nephtali, a hart let loose, and giving words of beauty.
“Niftaalem borofa hiikamtee dha; dubbii gaariis ni dubbata.
22 Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and comely to behold; the daughters run to and fro upon the wall.
“Yoosef muka wayinii ija qabeessa, muka wayinii ija qabeessa burqaa bishaaniitti dhiʼoo jiruu dha; dameen isaa dallaa irra yaaʼa.
23 But they that held darts provoked him, and quarrelled with him, and envied him.
Warri iddaa qabatan waraana isatti banan; isatti futtaasan; isa jibbanis.
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.
Garuu iddaan isaa jabaatee hafe; irreen harka isaa, harka Waaqa Jabaa Yaaqoobiin jabeeffame. Achiis Tiksee sanaan, Kattaa Israaʼeliin,
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.
Waaqa abbaa keetii isa si gargaaruun, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isa eebba samii gubbaatiin, eebba gadi fagoo isa jalaatiin, eebba harmaatii fi gadameessaatiin si eebbisu sanaan ni eebbifamta.
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.
Eebbi abbaa keetii, eebba tulluuwwan durii, arjummaa gaarran durii caala. Kun hundi mataa Yoosefiitti, gubbee mataa isa obboloota isaa keessaa hoogganaa taʼeetti haa qabatu.
27 Benjamin a ravenous wolf, in the morning shall eat the prey, and in the evening shall divide the spoil.
“Beniyaam yeeyyii baayʼee beelaʼee dha; ganama waan adamse itti gaggabee nyaata; galgala immoo boojuu hira.”
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.
Warri kunneen hundi gosoota Israaʼel kudha lamaan; kunis waan abbaan isaanii yeroo eebba tokkoo tokkoo isaaniif taʼuun isaan eebbisetti isaanitti dubbatee dha.
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,
Ergasiis Yaaqoob akkana jedhee isaan ajaje; “Ani gara saba kootiitti walitti qabamuu gaʼeera; holqa lafa qotiisaa Efroon namicha gosa Heeti sanaatti abbootii koo biratti na awwaalaa.
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.
Holqi kunis holqa biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti Mamree biratti lafa qotiisaa Makfelaa keessatti argamu kan Abrahaam iddoo awwaalaa godhachuuf Efroon namicha gosa Heeti sana irraa lafa qotiisaa wajjin bitatee dha.
31 There they buried him, and Sara his wife: there was Isaac buried with Rebecca his wife: there also Lia doth lie buried.
Abrahaamii fi niitiin isaa Saaraan achitti awwaalaman; Yisihaaqii fi niitiin isaa Ribqaan achitti awwaalaman; anis achumattan Liyaa awwaale.
Lafti qotiisaatii fi holqi isa keessa jiru Heetota irraa bitaman.”
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.
Yaaqoob akkuma ilmaan isaa ajajuu raawwateen miilla isaa siree irratti ol deebifatee hafuura dhumaa baafate; gara saba isaattis walitti qabame.
