“Ẹ kó ara yín jọ pọ̀, kí ẹ sì tẹ́tí, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Jakọbu; ẹ fetí sí Israẹli baba yín.
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.
“Reubeni, ìwọ ni àkọ́bí mi, agbára mi, ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ipá mi, títayọ ní ọlá àti títayọ ní agbára.
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.
Ẹni ríru bí omi Òkun, ìwọ kì yóò tayọ mọ́, nítorí pé ìwọ gun ibùsùn baba rẹ, lórí àkéte mi, ìwọ sì bà á jẹ́ (ìwọ bá ọ̀kan nínú àwọn aya baba rẹ lòpọ̀).
5 Simeon and Levi are two of the same kind—they use their weapons for destructive violence.
“Simeoni àti Lefi jẹ́ arákùnrin— idà wọn jẹ́ ohun èlò ogun alágbára.
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.

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.
Ìfibú ni ìbínú wọn nítorí tí ó gbóná púpọ̀, àti fún ìrunú wọn nítorí tí ó kún fún ìkà! Èmi yóò tú wọn ká ní Jakọbu, èmi ó sì fọ́n wọn ká ní Israẹli.
8 Judah, your brothers will praise you. You will defeat your enemies. Your father's sons shall bow down to you in respect.

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?
Ọmọ kìnnìún ni ọ́, ìwọ Juda, o darí láti igbó ọdẹ, ọmọ mi. Bí i kìnnìún, o ba mọ́lẹ̀, o sì sùn sílẹ̀ bí i abo kìnnìún, ta ni ó tó bẹ́ẹ̀, kí o lé e dìde?
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.
Ọ̀pá oyè kì yóò kúrò ní Juda bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀pá-ìṣàkóso kì yóò kúrò láàrín ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, títí tí Ṣilo tí ó ni í yóò fi dé, tí gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yóò máa wárí fún un.
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.

12 His eyes sparkle more than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.

13 Zebulun will live on the seashore and provide a harbor for ships; his territory will extend towards Sidon.

14 Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between two saddle bags.

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.
“Dani yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli.
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.

22 Joseph is a fruitful tree, a fruitful tree beside a spring, whose branches climb over the wall.

23 The archers viciously attacked him; they shot their arrows at him with hate.

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.

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.
Ìbùkún baba rẹ pọ̀ púpọ̀ ju ìbùkún àwọn òkè ńlá ìgbàanì, ju ẹ̀bùn ńlá àwọn òkè láéláé. Jẹ́ kí gbogbo èyí sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí orí Josẹfu, lé ìpéǹpéjú ọmọ-aládé láàrín arákùnrin rẹ̀.
27 Benjamin is a vicious wolf. In the morning he destroys his enemies, in the evening he divides the loot.”
“Benjamini jẹ́ ìkookò tí ó burú; ní òwúrọ̀ ni ó jẹ ẹran ọdẹ rẹ, ní àṣálẹ́, ó pín ìkógun.”
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.
Gbogbo ìwọ̀nyí ni àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli méjìlá, èyí sì ni ohun tí baba wọn sọ fún wọn nígbà tí ó súre fún wọn, tí ó sì fún ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ní ìbùkún tí ó tọ́ sí i.
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.

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.

32 The field and the cave were bought from the Hittites.”
Ilẹ̀ náà àti ihò àpáta tí ó wà nínú rẹ̀ ni a rà lọ́wọ́ ará 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.
