Genesis 49
1 Then Iaakob called his sonnes, and sayde, Gather your selues together, that I may tell you what shall come to you in the last dayes.
雅各叫了他的儿子们来，说：“你们都来聚集，我好把你们日后必遇的事告诉你们。
2 Gather your selues together, and heare, ye sonnes of Iaakob, and hearken vnto Israel your father.
雅各的儿子们，你们要聚集而听， 要听你们父亲以色列的话。
3 Reuben mine eldest sonne, thou art my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellencie of dignitie, and the excellencie of power:
吕便哪，你是我的长子， 是我力量强壮的时候生的， 本当大有尊荣，权力超众。
4 Thou wast light as water: thou shalt not be excellent, because thou wentest vp to thy fathers bed: then diddest thou defile my bed, thy dignitie is gone.
但你放纵情欲，滚沸如水， 必不得居首位； 因为你上了你父亲的床， 污秽了我的榻。
5 Simeon and Leui, brethren in euill, the instruments of crueltie are in their habitations.
西缅和利未是弟兄； 他们的刀剑是残忍的器具。
6 Into their secret let not my soule come: my glory, be not thou ioyned with their assembly: for in their wrath they slew a man, and in their selfe will they digged downe a wall.
我的灵啊，不要与他们同谋； 我的心哪，不要与他们联络； 因为他们趁怒杀害人命， 任意砍断牛腿大筋。
7 Cursed be their wrath, for it was fierce, and their rage, for it was cruell: I will deuide them in Iaakob, and scatter them in Israel.
他们的怒气暴烈可咒； 他们的忿恨残忍可诅。 我要使他们分居在雅各家里， 散住在以色列地中。
8 Thou Iudah, thy brethre shall praise thee: thine hande shalbe in the necke of thine enemies: thy fathers sonnes shall bowe downe vnto thee.
犹大啊，你弟兄们必赞美你； 你手必掐住仇敌的颈项； 你父亲的儿子们必向你下拜。
9 Iudah, as a Lions whelpe shalt thou come vp from the spoyle, my sonne. He shall lye downe and couche as a Lion, and as a Lionesse: Who shall stirre him vp?
犹大是个小狮子； 我儿啊，你抓了食便上去。 你屈下身去，卧如公狮， 蹲如母狮，谁敢惹你？
10 The scepter shall not depart from Iudah, nor a Lawegiuer from betweene his feete, vntill Shiloh come, and the people shall be gathered vnto him.
圭必不离犹大， 杖必不离他两脚之间， 直等细罗来到， 万民都必归顺。
11 He shall binde his Asse foale vnto ye vine, and his Asses colte vnto the best vine. hee shall wash his garment in wine, and his cloke in the blood of grapes.
犹大把小驴拴在葡萄树上， 把驴驹拴在美好的葡萄树上。 他在葡萄酒中洗了衣服， 在葡萄汁中洗了袍褂。
12 His eyes shalbe red with wine, and his teeth white with milke.
他的眼睛必因酒红润； 他的牙齿必因奶白亮。
13 Zebulun shall dwell by the sea side, and he shalbe an hauen for shippes: and his border shalbe vnto Zidon.
西布伦必住在海口， 必成为停船的海口； 他的境界必延到西顿。
14 Issachar shalbe a strong asse, couching downe betweene two burdens:
以萨迦是个强壮的驴， 卧在羊圈之中。
15 And he shall see that rest is good, and that the land is pleasant, and he shall bow his shoulder to beare, and shalbe subiect vnto tribute.
他以安静为佳，以肥地为美， 便低肩背重，成为服苦的仆人。
16 Dan shall iudge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
但必判断他的民， 作以色列支派之一。
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder by the path, byting the horse heeles, so that his rider shall fall backward.
但必作道上的蛇，路中的虺， 咬伤马蹄，使骑马的坠落于后。
18 O Lord, I haue waited for thy saluation.
耶和华啊，我向来等候你的救恩。
19 Gad, an hoste of men shall ouercome him, but he shall ouercome at the last.
迦得必被敌军追逼， 他却要追逼他们的脚跟。
20 Concerning Asher, his bread shalbe fat, and he shall giue pleasures for a king.
亚设之地必出肥美的粮食， 且出君王的美味。
21 Naphtali shalbe a hinde let goe, giuing goodly wordes.
拿弗他利是被释放的母鹿； 他出嘉美的言语。
22 Ioseph shalbe a fruitefull bough, euen a fruitful bough by the well side: the small boughs shall runne vpon the wall.
约瑟是多结果子的树枝， 是泉旁多结果的枝子； 他的枝条探出墙外。
23 And the archers grieued him, and shotte against him and hated him.
弓箭手将他苦害， 向他射箭，逼迫他。
24 But his bowe abode strong, and the hands of his armes were strengthened, by the handes of the mighty God of Iaakob, of whom was the feeder appointed, by the stone of Israel,
但他的弓仍旧坚硬； 他的手健壮敏捷。 这是因以色列的牧者，以色列的磐石— 就是雅各的大能者。
25 Euen by the God of thy father, who shall helpe thee, and by the almightie, who shall blesse thee with heauenly blessinges from aboue, with blessings of the deepe, that lyeth beneath, with blessings of the brestes, and of the wombe.
你父亲的 神必帮助你； 那全能者必将天上所有的福， 地里所藏的福，以及生产乳养的福，都赐给你。
26 The blessings of thy father shalbe stronger then the blessings of mine elders: vnto the ende of the hilles of the worlde they shall be on the head of Ioseph, and on the top of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
你父亲所祝的福 胜过我祖先所祝的福， 如永世的山岭，至极的边界； 这些福必降在约瑟的头上， 临到那与弟兄迥别之人的顶上。
27 Beniamin shall rauine as a wolfe: in the morning he shall deuoure the pray, and at night he shall deuide the spoyle.
便雅悯是个撕掠的狼， 早晨要吃他所抓的， 晚上要分他所夺的。”
28 All these are the twelue tribes of Israel, and thus their father spake vnto them, and blessed them: euery one of them blessed hee with a seuerall blessing.
这一切是以色列的十二支派；这也是他们的父亲对他们所说的话，为他们所祝的福，都是按着各人的福分为他们祝福。
29 And he charged them and sayd vnto them, I am ready to be gathered vnto my people: burie mee with my fathers in the caue, that is in the fielde of Ephron the Hittite,
他又嘱咐他们说：“我将要归到我列祖那里，你们要将我葬在赫人以弗 田间的洞里，与我祖我父在一处，
30 In the caue that is in the field of Machpelah besides Mamre in the land of Canaan: which caue Abraham bought with the fielde of Ephron the Hittite for a possession to burie in.
就是在迦南地幔利前、麦比拉田间的洞；那洞和田是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗 买来为业，作坟地的。
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife: there they buryed Izhak and Rebekah his wife: and there I buried Leah.
他们在那里葬了亚伯拉罕和他妻子撒拉，又在那里葬了以撒和他的妻子利百加；我也在那里葬了利亚。
32 The purchase of the fielde and the caue that is therein, was bought of the children of Heth.
那块田和田间的洞原是向赫人买的。”
33 Thus Iaakob made an end of giuing charge to his sonnes, and plucked vp his feete into the bed and gaue vp the ghost, and was gathered to his people.
雅各嘱咐众子已毕，就把脚收在床上，气绝而死，归他列祖那里去了。
