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.
Basa naa ma, Yakob denu roꞌe basa ana nara. Ara rema ma, nafadꞌe nae, “Ana nggare! Ima miꞌibꞌue deka mo au dei. Au ae ufadꞌe hei esa-esaꞌ dala masodꞌa na sia fai maꞌabui na.”
2 Come here, sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel your father.
Basa ma Yakob nafadꞌe memaꞌ ana nara nae, “Taꞌo ia! Yakob ana nara! Ima, mimbiriiꞌ rereoꞌ au. Rena ama ma Israꞌel oꞌolaꞌ na.
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.
Ruben! Ho ia, au ana ulu ngga! Au teteas ngga, ma lima ona ngga. Atahori fee hadat lenaꞌ neu nggo.
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.
Te rala ma nda matetuꞌ sa, nda mitaꞌ mae hihii-nanau ma bee sa boe, onaꞌ tasiꞌ ree na neu-nema. Aiboiꞌ ma, muu sungguꞌ mo sao ngga Bilha, de munggenggeo ama ma koi na. Naa de, ho panggat aꞌa ma mopo e.
5 Simeon and Levi are two of the same kind—they use their weapons for destructive violence.
Simeon ma Lewi! Hei ruꞌa nggi ona esaꞌ, huu ama akaꞌ mae mitati, tao miꞌisususaꞌ atahori.
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.
Hei maꞌahe tati miꞌetuꞌ sapi ra ei ua nara, fo ara sorereo reuꞌ a mamana nara. Hei deꞌulaka mara fai, hei miminasa seli ma henggu nisi mara, losa misa atahori ra. Naa de, au nda nau rena hei oꞌola mara sa. Au o nda nau sambor o hei dedꞌea ma sa.
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.
De ia naa, au sumba-ndoo nasaborii mara, huu naseliꞌ ena. Ma nasa mara nda miꞌena sue-laiꞌ mbei sa boe. Dei fo mesaꞌ nggi lemba-dꞌoi deꞌulaka mara naa. Lamatualain mbia-nggari tititi-nonosi mara, fo ara leo nggari-nggari sudꞌiꞌ a bee reu sia rae Israꞌel.
8 Judah, your brothers will praise you. You will defeat your enemies. Your father's sons shall bow down to you in respect.
Yahuda! Nara ma sosoa na nae ‘koa-kio’. Dei fo odꞌi-aꞌa mara koa ma fee hadat neu nggo. Boe ma ho tuni-ndeni musu mara, losa ara nda botiꞌ rala langga nara sa.
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?
Ho onaꞌ a meoaku manaseliꞌ, sangga nanaat ao ma. Meoaku mone lea ao na fo nae sungguꞌ, ma nda hambu atahori rambarani reti ngganggu sa. Meoaku ine nanea ana na, ma nda hambu atahori rambarani reti ngganggu sa. Atahori o ramatau nggo, de nda rambarani tao mataꞌ-mataꞌ neu nggo sa.
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.
Dei fo ho ia, toꞌu parendaꞌ. Tititi-nonosi mara boe o toꞌu parendaꞌ tungga-tungga, losa esa mana naena hak manaseliꞌ endoꞌ toꞌu parendaꞌ naa. Basa leo ra ramahere ma rena e.
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.
Dei fo musodꞌa no nemehoꞌot. Hii saa, naa, akaꞌ a sia. Mae tao saa o, dadꞌiꞌ a. Banda mara, no osi ra mbule-bꞌoa nara o nae na seli, losa leꞌa-nggari.
12 His eyes sparkle more than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.
Ho nana-nininu mara, maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ, nda basa-bꞌasa sa.
13 Zebulun will live on the seashore and provide a harbor for ships; his territory will extend towards Sidon.
Sebulon! Ho rae-oe mara loa na seli, deka noꞌ a tasiꞌ, natooꞌ no kota Sidꞌon. Ofai mia bee-bꞌee rema nggari nafuꞌ no leo nenee sia namo ma.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between two saddle bags.
Isaskar! Ho ia, onaꞌ banda keledei maꞌadereꞌ, huu langga fatu ma nda nenelabꞌan sa. Mete ma keledei luꞌu sia dalaꞌ taladꞌa na, esa o nda bisa nafefelaꞌ e sa, fo laoꞌ nakandoo fai. Mete ma keledei nita kambo maloleꞌ sia seriꞌ na, naa, nda denu sa o, lemba nala neꞌefufuan fo lao neuꞌ ena. Ho, onaꞌ naa boe.
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.
16 Dan will judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan! Nara ma sosoa na ‘mana nggero’. Ho ia, mo tititi-nonosi mara, dei fo miꞌetuꞌ Israꞌel ra dedꞌea nda misilaꞌe esa saꞌ boe.
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.
Ho ia onaꞌ mengge mana sungguꞌ sia dalaꞌ suu na. Mete ma atahori sae ndara tungga naa, aiboiꞌ na, mengge a ero ndara ei na, de atahori naa tudꞌa. Ho o muꞌutetee hahambuꞌ, naa mata muu.
18 I trust in you to save me, Lord.
LAMATUALAIN! Au hule-huleꞌ fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu basa hai.
19 Raiders will attack Gad, but he will attack their heels.
Gad! Nara ma lii na naeꞌ a onaꞌ a ‘netati’. Dei fo mana rambok ra ratati ro nggo, te mutati musenggiꞌ se.
20 Asher will have delicious food—he'll produce fancy food for royalty.
Aser! Dei fo osi mara mbule-bꞌoa nara malole na seli. Losa ho bisa tao kokis mataꞌ-mataꞌ, fo maneꞌ ra rema hasa sia nggo.
21 Naphtali is a deer that's free to run; it gives birth to beautiful fawns.
Naftali! Ho ia, onaꞌ banda rusa ine mana nela fuiꞌ, huu nda hambu atahori ralalao nggo sa. Ho o bꞌonggi mala ana mara akaꞌ a meulauꞌ ra.
22 Joseph is a fruitful tree, a fruitful tree beside a spring, whose branches climb over the wall.
Yusuf! Ho onaꞌ hau huu mana malonggeꞌ nasodꞌa deka no oe mataꞌ. Ho dꞌana mara nama risiꞌ lutu naruꞌ.
23 The archers viciously attacked him; they shot their arrows at him with hate.
Hambu atahori fua rala mera nara neu nggo, onaꞌ musu a busu nggo.
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.
Te Lamatualain fo au umuhereꞌ a, tulu-fali nggo. Ana tao lima ma maꞌadereꞌ, fo busu labꞌan baliꞌ se. Mae mia dꞌoo-dꞌooꞌ o, ho musenggiꞌ se, huu Lamatualain tulun nggo. Koasa Na memaꞌ manaseliꞌ tebꞌe. De au umuhena E, huu Ana mana nanea au.
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.
Dei fo Ana nanea nggo. Ana fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ mia lalai ma raefafoꞌ. Ana o fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fo bꞌonggi anaꞌ ao meulauꞌ hetar.
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.
Mbuku-leteꞌ ra nda mopo sa. Ma au papala-babꞌanggi ngga ia, naeꞌ lenaꞌ basa papala-babꞌanggi mia mbuku-leteꞌ ra! Basa papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ia ra, mbori-mboꞌa neu nggo, huu ho manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ odꞌi-aꞌa mara.
27 Benjamin is a vicious wolf. In the morning he destroys his enemies, in the evening he divides the loot.”
Benyamin! Mbarani ma onaꞌ busa fui mana ndoeꞌ. Feꞌe fefetuꞌ, ana neu sombu nala nanaat na ena. Te mete ma tetembaꞌ, ana neu babanggi sisa-sisa nara, fee ana nara. Tititi-nonosi mara o manaseliꞌ onaꞌ naa boe!”
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.
No taꞌo naa, Yakob nafadꞌe memaꞌ ana nara dala masodꞌa nara sia fai maꞌabui na, esa-esaꞌ no tititi-nonosi na. Basa se mana raꞌondaꞌ leo Israꞌel kasanahulu ruaꞌ ra.
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.
Basa boe ma, Yakob noꞌe ana nara fo helu nae, “Nda dooꞌ sa te, au mate. Mete ma au mate, naa hei musi miꞌoi au sia Baꞌi Abraham rates na. Rates naa sia luat, deka no kambo Makpela no Mamre sia rae Kanaꞌan. Maꞌahulu na, Baꞌi Abraham hasa luat naa no osi fo tao neu mamana rates. Ana hasa etu mia atahori Het, naran Efron.
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.
31 Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried there, Isaac and his wife Rebekah were buried there, and I buried Leah there.
Sia naa raꞌoi hita baꞌi Abraham no bei Sara, ma ama ngga Isak no ina ngga Ribka. Dadꞌi hei musi miꞌoi au sia naa, sia sao ngga Lea bobꞌoa na.
32 The field and the cave were bought from the Hittites.”
De hei afiꞌ liliiꞌ miꞌoi au sia luat fo baꞌi Abraham hasa nalaꞌ naa.”
33 When Jacob finished giving these instructions he pulled up his feet into the bed, breathed his last, and joined his forefathers in death.
Yakob olaꞌ basa ma, ana sungguꞌ bali neu koi, ma mate e boe.
