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.
Awo Yakobo n’ayita batabani be n’abagamba nti, Mukuŋŋaane, ndyoke mbategeeze ebiribabaako mu nnaku ezijja.
2 Gather your selues together, and heare, ye sonnes of Iaakob, and hearken vnto Israel your father.
Mukuŋŋaane muwulire, mwe abaana ba Yakobo, muwulirize Isirayiri kitammwe.
3 Reuben mine eldest sonne, thou art my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellencie of dignitie, and the excellencie of power:
Lewubeeni ggwe mubereberye wange, amaanyi gange, ebibala ebibereberye eby’amaanyi gange, ekitiibwa n’obuyinza ebiyitirivu.
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.
Naye tafugika, oli ng’amayengo g’ennyanja, naye tokyali wa kitiibwa, kubanga walinnya ekitanda kya kitaawo, mu nnyumba yange, n’okyonoona.
5 Simeon and Leui, brethren in euill, the instruments of crueltie are in their habitations.
Simyoni ne Leevi baaluganda, ebitala byabwe byakulwanyisa bya maanyi.
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.
Ayi omwoyo gwange teweetaba mu kuteesa kwabwe. Ayi omwoyo gwange teweegatta nabo. Kubanga mu busungu bwabwe batta abantu, olw’okwekulumbaza kwabwe baatema ente olunywa.
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.
Obusungu bwabwe bukolimirwe, kubanga bungi; n’obukambwe bwabwe, kubanga bwa ttima. Ndibaawula mu Yakobo, ndibasaasaanya mu Isirayiri.
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.
Yuda gwe baganda bo banaakutenderezanga. Omukono gwo gunaatulugunyanga abalabe bo. Abaana ba kitaawo banaakuvuunamiranga.
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?
Yuda, mwana w’empologoma. Oyambuse mwana wange, ng’ovudde ku muyiggo. Yakutama, yabwama ng’empologoma. Ddala ng’empologoma enkazi, ani anaakweŋŋanga?
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.
Era omuggo gw’omufuzi teguuvenga wakati wa bigere bya Yuda, okutuusa Siiro lw’alijja; era oyo amawanga gonna gwe ganaawuliranga.
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.
Alisiba endogoyi ku muzabbibu, n’omwana gw’endogoyi ku muzabbibu ogusinga obulungi, ayoza ebyambalo bye mu nvinnyo, n’engoye ze mu musaayi gwe zabbibu.
12 His eyes shalbe red with wine, and his teeth white with milke.
Amaaso ge galimyuka wayini, n’amannyo ge galitukula okusinga amata.
13 Zebulun shall dwell by the sea side, and he shalbe an hauen for shippes: and his border shalbe vnto Zidon.
Zebbulooni alibeera ku mabbali ga nnyanja; anaabanga mwalo gw’amaato, ensalo ze ziriba ku Sidoni.
14 Issachar shalbe a strong asse, couching downe betweene two burdens:
Isakaali ndogoyi ya maanyi, ng’akutama wakati mu bisibo by’endiga;
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.
yalaba ng’ekifo ky’okuwummuliramu kirungi; nga n’ensi esanyusa; n’alyoka akkakkanya ekibegabega kye okusitula, n’afuuka omuddu ow’okukozesebwanga emirimu egy’obuwaze.
16 Dan shall iudge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Ddaani anaalamulanga mu bwenkanya abantu be ng’ekika ekimu ku bika bya Isirayiri.
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.
Ddaani anaaba musota mu kkubo, essalambwa ku kkubo, eriruma ebisinziiro by’embalaasi, omwebagazi waayo alyoke agwe emabega waayo.
18 O Lord, I haue waited for thy saluation.
Nnindirira obulokozi bwo, Ayi Mukama.
19 Gad, an hoste of men shall ouercome him, but he shall ouercome at the last.
Gaadi alirumbibwa ogubiina gw’abanyazi, naye ye, alibafubutukira emabega.
20 Concerning Asher, his bread shalbe fat, and he shall giue pleasures for a king.
Aseri emmere ye eneebanga ngimu, era anaagemuliranga kabaka ebyokulya.
21 Naphtali shalbe a hinde let goe, giuing goodly wordes.
Nafutaali mpeewo ya ddembe, avaamu ebigambo ebirungi.
22 Ioseph shalbe a fruitefull bough, euen a fruitful bough by the well side: the small boughs shall runne vpon the wall.
Yusufu lye ttabi eribala ennyo, ettabi eribala ennyo eriri ku mugga; abaana be babuna bbugwe.
23 And the archers grieued him, and shotte against him and hated him.
Abalasa obusaale baamulumba bubi nnyo, baamulasa ne bamulumya nnyo;
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,
naye omutego gwe ne gunywera, n’emikono gye ne gitasagaasagana. Olw’omukono gwa Ayinzabyonna owa Yakobo, olw’Omusumba, Olwazi lwa Isirayiri,
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.
olwa Katonda wa kitaawo, akuyamba, olwa Ayinzabyonna akuwa omukisa, omukisa oguva waggulu mu ggulu, omukisa ogwa wansi mu buziba, omukisa ogw’omu lubuto ne mu mabeere.
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.
Omukisa gwa kitaawo gusinga omukisa gwa bajjajjange, gusinga egyo egyaweebwa bajjajja ab’edda. Gino gyonna gibeere ku mutwe gwa Yusufu, gibeere ne ku bukowekowe bw’oyo eyayawukanyizibwa ne baganda be.
27 Beniamin shall rauine as a wolfe: in the morning he shall deuoure the pray, and at night he shall deuide the spoyle.
Benyamini musege ogunyaga, mu makya alya omuyiggo, mu kawungeezi n’agaba omunyago.
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.
Ebyo byonna by’ebika ekkumi n’ebiriri ebya Isirayiri, era ebyo kitaabwe bye yayogera nabo ng’abasabira omukisa. Buli omu ng’amusabira omukisa ogumusaanira.
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,
Oluvannyuma n’abakuutira n’abagamba nti, “Nditwalibwa eri abantu bange gye baatwalibwa. Munziikanga wamu ne bajjajjange, mu mpuku eri mu nnimiro ya Efulooni Omukiiti,
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.
mu mpuku eri mu nnimiro ya Makupeera, okumpi ne Mamule, mu nsi ya Kanani, Ibulayimu gye yagulira mu nnimiro, okuva ku Efulooni Omukiiti. Yagigula okuba obutaka bw’okuziikangamu.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife: there they buryed Izhak and Rebekah his wife: and there I buried Leah.
Awo we waaziikibwa Ibulayimu ne Saala mukazi we, era ne Isaaka ne Lebbeeka mukazi we, we baaziikwa, era awo we naziika Leeya.
32 The purchase of the fielde and the caue that is therein, was bought of the children of Heth.
Ennimiro n’empuku erimu byagulibwa okuva ku baana ba Kesi.”
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.
Yakobo bwe yamala okukuutira batabani be, n’azaayo ebigere bye mu kitanda, n’assa omukka ogw’enkomerero n’afa n’akuŋŋaanyizibwa eri abantu be.
