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.
Eka Jakobo noluongo yawuote mowachonegi niya, “Biuru machiegni mondo anyisu gima biro timorenu e ndalo mabiro.
2 Come here, sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel your father.
“Un yawuot Jakobo chokreuru buta kendo uchik itu; winjuru Israel wuonu.
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, in e wuoda makayo, kendo in e tekona kendo in e ranyisi mokwongo mar tekra, bende in giluor mangʼeny kod teko mangʼeny.
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.
Ijamuomri ka pi aora, to ok inibed gi duongʼ, nikech isedonjori, gi kitanda wuonu ma ichido.
5 Simeon and Levi are two of the same kind—they use their weapons for destructive violence.
“Simeon gi Lawi gin owete, gisetimo timbe mag lweny gi liganglagi.
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.
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 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.
Okwongʼ mirimbgi nikech en mirima mager kendo makwiny. Anakegi e kind joka Jakobo kendo akegi e piny Israel duto.
8 Judah, your brothers will praise you. You will defeat your enemies. Your father's sons shall bow down to you in respect.
“Juda, oweteni biro paki; bende inimak wasiki gi ngʼutgi, kendo oweteni biro kuloreni.
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?
Yaye Juda nyathina, ichalo nyathi sibuor, modwogo koa dwar. Obuto ka sibuor madhako monindo piny, maonge ngʼama nyalo chiewo.
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.
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 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.
Obiro tweyo pundane e kor mzabibu, enotue nyathi pundane e mzabibu moyier; kendo obiro luoko lepe gi divai makwar.
12 His eyes sparkle more than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.
Wangʼe nobed makwar moloyo divai kendo lake nobed matar ka chak.
13 Zebulun will live on the seashore and provide a harbor for ships; his territory will extend towards Sidon.
“Zebulun nodag e dho nam kama yiedhi gowe, kendo tongʼ mare nodhi nyaka Sidon.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between two saddle bags.
“Isakar en punda maratego ma nindo piny e dier misikene.
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.
Kane oneno kaka dalane ber, kendo kaka pinyno ber, noyie tingʼo misigo modoko misumba matiyo tich matek.
16 Dan will judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
“Dan nobed jangʼad bura ne joge mana kaka achiel kuom oganda Israel.
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 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 trust in you to save me, Lord.
“Aserito warruok yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
19 Raiders will attack Gad, but he will attack their heels.
“Gad to nomonj gi jomecho, to noriembgi kolawogi matek.
20 Asher will have delicious food—he'll produce fancy food for royalty.
“Asher nobed gi chiemo mamit; nobed gi chiemo moromo ruoth chamo.
21 Naphtali is a deer that's free to run; it gives birth to beautiful fawns.
“Naftali to en mwanda mogony, ma nywolo nyithindo mabeyo.
22 Joseph is a fruitful tree, a fruitful tree beside a spring, whose branches climb over the wall.
“Josef en mzabibu manyago olemo mopidh e bath thidhna, ma bedene ogawore e kor ot.
23 The archers viciously attacked him; they shot their arrows at him with hate.
Jodir asere nolawe matek kokecho, ne gibaye gi asere ka igi owangʼ.
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.
Kata kamano, Nyasaye Maratego ma Nyasach Jakobo noturo atungegi, kendo Jakwath, ma Lwanda mar Israel, nochodo leche mag ogich bedegi.
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.
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 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.
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 is a vicious wolf. In the morning he destroys his enemies, in the evening he divides the loot.”
“Benjamin en ondiek ma kech kayo; gima osenego ochamo gokinyi, kendo godhiambo okidho matindo tindo gima osemako.”
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried there, Isaac and his wife Rebekah were buried there, and I buried Leah there.
Kanyo ema ne oike Ibrahim kod Sara chiege, kanyo bende ema ne oikie Isaka kod Rebeka chiege, kendo kanyo ema ne aikoe Lea.
32 The field and the cave were bought from the Hittites.”
Puodhono kod rogo duto mane ni e iye nongʼiew koa kuom jo-Hiti.”
33 When Jacob finished giving these instructions he pulled up his feet into the bed, breathed his last, and joined his forefathers in death.
Kane Jakobo osetieko wacho wechegi ni yawuote kamano nodwoko tiende e kitanda, mi chunye nochot kendo noluwo kwerene.
