Genesis 49
1 Jacob called his sons together, and said, “Gather round so I can tell you what's going to happen to you in the future.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh a ca rhoek te a khue tih, “Tun ngol uh lamtah, vuenvai ah nangmih taengah aka thoeng ham te nangmih taengah ka puen pawn ni,
2 Come here, sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel your father.
Jakob ca rhoek loh a yaak uh tih a coi uh thae vaengah, “Na pa Israel kah ol te ya uh van lah.
3 Reuben. You are my firstborn, conceived when I was strong, born when I was vigorous! You were above all others is position, above all others in power.
Reuben nang he ka caming tih, ka thadueng neh, ka thahuem cuek, hlangrhuel boeimang, hlangtlung hlangrhuel la na om dae,
4 But you boil over like water, so you won't be above anyone anymore, because you went and slept with my concubine; you violated my marriage bed.
Na pa kah tih thingkong sola na yoeng tih, ka rhaenghmuen te na poeih phoeiah, tui bangla na soetaenah dongah caknoi khaw na khueh mahpawh.
5 Simeon and Levi are two of the same kind—they use their weapons for destructive violence.
Simeon neh Levi boeina, amih rhoi kah tubael tah kuthlahnah tumca ni.
6 I refuse to be part of their decisions; I refuse to participate in what they do. For they killed men in their anger; they crippled cattle just for fun.
Amih rhoi kah tingtunnah dongah ka hinglu naepkhap pawh. Amah rhoi kah thintoek dongah hlang a ngawn rhoi tih vaito kaprhui haih ham te amih rhoi kah kolonah la a om dongah, kai kah thangpomnah loh amih rhoi a hlangping te bulbo boel saeh.
7 I curse their anger because it is too harsh; I curse their fury because it is too cruel! I will separate their descendants throughout Jacob; I will scatter them throughout Israel.
Amih rhoi kah a thinpom khaw a tlung dongah a thintoek te thae a phoei thil. Te dongah a mangkhak te Jakob taengah ka tael vetih Israel taengah khaw ka taekyak ni.
8 Judah, your brothers will praise you. You will defeat your enemies. Your father's sons shall bow down to you in respect.
Judah nang he na manuca rhoek loh nang n'uem uh ni. Na kut te na thunkha a rhawn dongla cu ni. Na pacaboeina te nang taengah bakop uh ni.
9 My son Judah is a young lion coming back from eating its prey. He crouches and lies down like a lion. Like a lion, who would dare to disturb him?
Judah he sathueng ca ni. Ka ca loh maeh kung lamkah na bal phoeiah, sathueng neh sathuengnu bangla aka yuel tih, aka kol te ulong anih a haeng eh.
10 Judah will always hold the scepter, and the staff of authority will always be at his feet until Shiloh comes; the nations will obey him.
Judah lamkah mancai tah nong boel lamtah, a kho laklo lamloh taem saeh. Shiloh a pha duela anih taengah, pilnam kah boengainah om saeh.
11 He ties his donkey to the vine, his donkey's colt to the best vine. He washes his clothes in wine, his robes in the red juice of grapes.
A laaktal, laaktal te misur dongah, a laak ca te cangsawt misur dongah pael saeh. A pueinak te misurtui dongah, a hnipup, hnipup te misur thii dongah til saeh.
12 His eyes sparkle more than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.
Na mik khaw musurtui lakah ling vetih, na no te suktui lakah bok ni.
13 Zebulun will live on the seashore and provide a harbor for ships; his territory will extend towards Sidon.
Zebulun he tuitunli kah langkaeng ah khosa saeh lamtah, langkaeng kah sangpho rhoek bangla a bawtnah loh Sidon due pha saeh.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between two saddle bags.
Issakhar he laak songrhuh bangla saelvong laklo ah na kol.
15 He sees that the place where he's resting is good, and the land is lovely, so he's willing to lower his back to accept the burden and to work as a slave.
Duemnah then neh khohmuen hlahmae te khaw a hmuh dae, phueih te a laengpang ah a thueng tih aka thotat saldong la om ni.
16 Dan will judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan he Israel koca pakhat vanbangla a pilnam kah lai a thui pah ni.
17 Dan will be as dangerous as a snake beside the road, a viper by the path that bites the horse's heel, throwing its rider off backwards.
Dan he long taengkah rhul neh marhang dongkah aka ngol te a hnuk la bung saeh tila marhang khomik aka maeng tih, caehlong rhulthae bangla om ni.
18 I trust in you to save me, Lord.
BOEIPA nang kah khangnah ham ni ka lamtawn he.
19 Raiders will attack Gad, but he will attack their heels.
Gad he caem loh tloek cakhaw anih loh a khomik a tloek pah ni.
20 Asher will have delicious food—he'll produce fancy food for royalty.
Asher ham caak bae vetih, manghai buhmong a tael ni.
21 Naphtali is a deer that's free to run; it gives birth to beautiful fawns.

22 Joseph is a fruitful tree, a fruitful tree beside a spring, whose branches climb over the wall.
Joseph tah a ca loh thaihsu tih, a ca loh tuiphuet taengkah pungtai. Ngannu ngankhong loh pangbueng dongla luei.
23 The archers viciously attacked him; they shot their arrows at him with hate.
Thaltang boei rhoek a konaeh uh dongah, a phaep uh tih a kah uh.
24 But he held his bow steady, and his arms and hands moved quickly in the strength of the Mighty One of Jacob, who is called the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel.
Tedae Jakob kah samrhang kut rhang neh, Israel aka dawn lungnu rhang neh,
25 The God of your father will help you and the Almighty will bless you with blessings from the heavens above, with blessings from the depths below, with blessings for many children.
Na pa kah Pathen loh nang m'bom tih Tlungthang loh nang te vaan a sosang kah yoethennah, a laedil kah aka kol yoethennah nen khaw, a rhangsuk dongkah yoethennah nen khaw, a bung khuikah nen khaw yoethen m'paek dongah, a li khaw tangkuek la om tih, a kut bantha khaw caang.
26 The blessings your father received were greater than the blessings of his forefathers, more than the blessings of the eternal mountains. May they be upon the head of Joseph, on the forehead of the one set apart as a leader from his brothers.
Na pa kah yoethennah he kai aka yom kah yoethennah lakah len. Khosuen som ah a saelongnah hil Joseph lu so neh a manuca hlangcoelh luki soah om saeh.
27 Benjamin is a vicious wolf. In the morning he destroys his enemies, in the evening he divides the loot.”
Benjamin, uithang laihat loh, mincang ah maeh a ngaeh, hlaem ah kutbuem a tael,” a ti nah.
28 These are all of the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father told them as he blessed them, each according to their respective blessings.
A pum boeih la Israel koca he hlai nit dongah a napa loh amih taengah a thui vaengah amah kah yoethennah neh amih te yoethen rhip a paek.
29 Then he gave them the following instructions: “I'm going to die soon. Bury me with my forefathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite.
Te phoeiah amih te a uen tih, “Kai he ka pilnam taengla ka khum atah a pa rhoek neh Khitti Ephron lo kah lungko ah n'up uh.
30 This is the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre in Canaan, that Abraham bought together with the field from Ephron the Hittite to own as a burial site.
Kanaan kho Mamre hmai, Makpelah lo kah lungko te phuel khohut la Khitti Ephron taeng lamkah Abraham loh a lai khohmuen ni.
31 Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried there, Isaac and his wife Rebekah were buried there, and I buried Leah there.
Ti ah te Abraham neh a yuu Sarah a up uh tih Isaak neh a yuu Rebekah te pahoi a up uh coeng. Leah khaw pahoi ka up coeng.
32 The field and the cave were bought from the Hittites.”
Te dongah Kheth ca rhoek taeng lamkah te khohmuen boiva neh a khuikah lungko te,” a ti nah.
33 When Jacob finished giving these instructions he pulled up his feet into the bed, breathed his last, and joined his forefathers in death.
Jakob loh a ca rhoek a uen te a khah phoeiah baiphaih dongla a kho a yueh. Te phoeiah pal tih a pilnam taengla khoem uh.
