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.
Kemudian Yakub memanggil anak-anaknya dan berkata, "Berkumpullah di sini, di dekatku. Akan kuberitahukan kepadamu apa yang akan kalian alami di kemudian hari:
2 Gather your selues together, and heare, ye sonnes of Iaakob, and hearken vnto Israel your father.
Berkumpullah, hai anak-anak Yakub, dengarlah Israel, ayahmu.
3 Reuben mine eldest sonne, thou art my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellencie of dignitie, and the excellencie of power:
Ruben, anakku yang sulung, engkaulah kekuatanku, buah pertama keperkasaanku. Engkau tergagah dan terkuat di antara semua anakku.
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.
Engkau mudah tergoncang seperti air, sehingga bukan yang utama; sebab engkau tidur dengan selirku, kaunodai tempat tidur ayahmu.
5 Simeon and Leui, brethren in euill, the instruments of crueltie are in their habitations.
Simeon dan Lewi bersaudara; senjata mereka alat kekerasan.
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.
Aku takkan ikut dalam permupakatan mereka, juga tidak di dalam perkumpulan mereka. Sebab mereka membunuh dalam kemarahan, melumpuhkan banteng demi kesenangan.
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.
Terkutuklah kemarahan mereka, karena dahsyatnya. Terkutuklah keberangan mereka, karena kejamnya. Aku akan menceraiberaikan mereka di seluruh Israel. Aku akan menghamburkan mereka di antara seluruh bangsa.
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.
Yehuda, engkau akan menerkam tengkuk musuhmu; saudara-saudaramu akan memujimu dan sujud di hadapanmu.
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?
Yehuda bagaikan singa muda; ia membunuh mangsanya, lalu kembali ke sarangnya; ia menggeliat lalu berbaring, dan tak seorang pun berani mengusiknya.
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.
Yehuda akan memegang tongkat kerajaan, keturunannya akan memerintah selama-lamanya. Bangsa-bangsa akan membawa upeti, dan sujud dengan takluk di hadapannya.
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.
Anak keledainya diikatnya pada pohon, pohon anggur yang paling baik. Dia mencuci pakaiannya dengan anggur, anggur semerah darah.
12 His eyes shalbe red with wine, and his teeth white with milke.
Merah matanya karena minum anggur, putih giginya karena minum susu.
13 Zebulun shall dwell by the sea side, and he shalbe an hauen for shippes: and his border shalbe vnto Zidon.
Zebulon akan diam di dekat laut; kapal-kapal akan berlabuh di pantainya; sampai Sidon batas wilayahnya.
14 Issachar shalbe a strong asse, couching downe betweene two burdens:
Isakhar itu bagaikan keledai kuat yang berbaring di antara keranjang bebannya.
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.
Dilihatnya betapa baiknya tempat itu dan betapa indahnya negeri itu, maka membungkuklah ia rela dibebani, dan dipaksa bekerja sebagai hamba.
16 Dan shall iudge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Engkau Dan, akan mengadili bangsamu, engkau menjadi suku seperti suku lain di Israel.
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.
Engkau seperti ular di pinggir jalan, ular berbisa di tepi lorong, yang memagut tumit kuda sampai terlempar penunggangnya.
18 O Lord, I haue waited for thy saluation.
Ya TUHAN, keselamatan yang Kauberikan, itulah yang kunanti-nantikan.
19 Gad, an hoste of men shall ouercome him, but he shall ouercome at the last.
Gad, engkau akan diserang perampok, namun engkau akan balik merampok mereka.
20 Concerning Asher, his bread shalbe fat, and he shall giue pleasures for a king.
Asyer, makananmu limpah mewah, kau akan menyediakan makanan bagi raja-raja.

Naftali, laksana rusa terlepas, sangat cantik anak-anaknya.
22 Ioseph shalbe a fruitefull bough, euen a fruitful bough by the well side: the small boughs shall runne vpon the wall.
Yusuf bagai keledai muda, keledai liar dekat mata air, berlari-lari di lereng gunung.
23 And the archers grieued him, and shotte against him and hated him.
Musuh menyerang dengan sengit, mengejarnya dengan busur dan panah.
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,
Namun Yusuf tetap kukuh lengannya, tetap kuat panahnya, karena kuasa Sang Gembala Mahakuat, Allah Yakub, Pelindung Israel.
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.
Allah ayahmu menolong engkau; Yang Mahakuasa memberkati engkau dengan hujan dari langit dan air dari bawah tanah. Dengan anak dan sapi,
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.
gandum dan bunga. Berkat Allah bapakmu melebihi kekayaan gunung-gunung yang sangat tua. Semoga turunlah semua berkat itu ke atas kepala Yusuf, ke atas dahinya. Dialah yang teristimewa di antara saudara-saudaranya.
27 Beniamin shall rauine as a wolfe: in the morning he shall deuoure the pray, and at night he shall deuide the spoyle.
Benyamin adalah serigala ganas. Di pagi hari ia menerkam mangsanya. Di malam hari ia membagi-bagikannya."
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.
Itulah kedua belas suku Israel, dan kata-kata yang diucapkan ayah mereka ketika memberi salam perpisahan kepada mereka masing-masing.
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,
Kemudian Yakub berpesan kepada anak-anaknya, "Sebentar lagi aku akan berpulang seperti leluhurku. Kuburkanlah aku nanti di samping mereka dalam gua di Makhpela, sebelah timur Mamre di tanah Kanaan. Abraham telah membeli gua dan ladang di sekitarnya dari Efron orang Het untuk dijadikan pekuburan.
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.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife: there they buryed Izhak and Rebekah his wife: and there I buried Leah.
Di situ dikuburkan Abraham dan Sara, Ishak dan Ribka; dan di situ juga aku menguburkan Lea.
32 The purchase of the fielde and the caue that is therein, was bought of the children of Heth.
Ladang dan gua yang ada di situ telah dibeli dari orang Het. Kuburkanlah aku di situ."
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.
Setelah Yakub selesai berpesan kepada anak-anaknya, berbaringlah ia lalu meninggal.
