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.
Na ka karanga a Hakopa ki ana tamariki, ka mea, Huihui mai, a ka korerotia e ahau ki a koutou nga mea e pono ki a koutou i nga ra o muri.
2 Gather your selues together, and heare, ye sonnes of Iaakob, and hearken vnto Israel your father.
Huihui mai, whakarongo hoki, e nga tama a Hakopa; whakarongo hoki ki a Iharaira, ki to koutou papa.
3 Reuben mine eldest sonne, thou art my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellencie of dignitie, and the excellencie of power:
E Reupena, ko koe taku matamua, toku pakaritanga, me te timatanga o toku kaha; te hiranga ake o te kororia, te hiranga ake hoki o te kaha:
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.
He mea pokarekare, ano he wai, e kore koe e kaka; mo tou pikitanga i te moenga o tou papa; pokea iho e koe a reira: i pikitia e ia toku takotoranga.
5 Simeon and Leui, brethren in euill, the instruments of crueltie are in their habitations.
He tuakana, he teina, a Himiona raua ko Riwai; he rakau riri kino a raua hoari.
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.
Kaua e tomo, e toku wairua, ki to raua runanga; kaua e huihuia, e toku kororia, ki to raua whakaminenga: i patu tangata hoki raua i a raua e riri ana, a he hikaka no raua i kopa ai te kau.
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.
Kia kanga to raua riri, i kaha nei; me to raua aritarita, no te mea he nanakia: ka wehea atu raua e ahau ki roto ki a Hakopa, ka whakamararatia hoki raua ki roto ki a Iharaira.
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.
E Hura, ko koe e whakamoemititia e ou tuakana, e ou teina: ka u tou ringa ki te kaki o ou hoariri: ka piko ki a koe nga tama a tou papa.
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?
He kuao raiona a Hura: i kake atu koe, e taku tama, i te haenga: i piko, i tapapa ia, i pera me te raiona, i pera hoki me te raiona katua; ma wai ia e whakaoho?
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.
E kore e riro ke te hepeta i a Hura, me te tokotoko o te kawana i waenganui o ona waewae, kia tae mai ra ano a Hiro; a ka rongo nga iwi katoa ki a ia.
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.
Ka herea e ia tana kuao ki te waina, te tama hoki a tana kaihe ki te waina pai rawa; ka horoia e ia ona kakahu ki te waina, ona weruweru hoki ki te toto o te karepe:
12 His eyes shalbe red with wine, and his teeth white with milke.
Ka mumura hoki ona kanohi i te waina, ka ma ona niho i te waiu.
13 Zebulun shall dwell by the sea side, and he shalbe an hauen for shippes: and his border shalbe vnto Zidon.
Ka noho a Hepurona ki te wahapu o te moana; hei wahapu ano ia mo nga kaipuke; ka tutuki atu hoki tona rohe ki Hairona.
14 Issachar shalbe a strong asse, couching downe betweene two burdens:
He kaihe kaha a Ihakara, e tapapa ana i waenga o nga moenga hipi e rua:
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.
A, i tona kitenga i te okiokinga he pai, i te whenua hoki he ahuareka; na ka tukua iho e ia tona pokohiwi ki te pikaunga, a meinga ana ia hei pononga homai takoha.
16 Dan shall iudge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Ka whakawa a Rana i tona iwi, ka pera ano me tetahi o nga iwi o Iharaira.
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.
Hei nakahi a Rana ki te ara, hei neke hoki ki te huarahi, e ngau ai i te rekereke o te hoiho, a ka taka whakamuri tona kaieke.
18 O Lord, I haue waited for thy saluation.
Kua tatari atu ahau ki tau whakaoranga, e Ihowa.
19 Gad, an hoste of men shall ouercome him, but he shall ouercome at the last.
Ko Kara, ka aki te ope ki runga ki a ia: otiia ka aki ia ki to ratou rekereke.
20 Concerning Asher, his bread shalbe fat, and he shall giue pleasures for a king.
Ko ta Ahera, ka momona tana taro, a he kai kingi ona hua.
21 Naphtali shalbe a hinde let goe, giuing goodly wordes.
Ko Napatari, he hata kua tukua kia haere: e homai ana e ia nga kupu papai.
22 Ioseph shalbe a fruitefull bough, euen a fruitful bough by the well side: the small boughs shall runne vpon the wall.
Ko Hohepa he peka hua, he peka hua i te taha o te puna; e toro atu ana ona manga ki tua o te taiepa:
23 And the archers grieued him, and shotte against him and hated him.
I whakatupu kino nga kaikopere i a ia, i pere mai hoki, i kino hoki ki a ia:
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,
Otiia i mau tana kopere i runga i te kaha, a i whakapakaritia nga takakau o ona ringa e nga ringa o te Mea Kaha o Hakopa, no reira nei te hepara, te kamaka o Iharaira,
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.
Ara e te Atua o tou papa, mana ano koe e awhina; e te Kaha Rawa hoki, mana e tuku mai ki a koe nga manaaki o te rangi i runga, nga manaaki hoki o te rire e takoto ana i raro, nga manaaki o nga u, o te kopu hoki:
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.
Hira ake nga manaaki a tou papa i nga manaaki a oku tupuna, tae atu ana ki tera taha rawa o nga pukepuke tu tonu: ka tau iho ena mea ki runga ki te matenga o Hohepa, ki te tumuaki hoki ona i motuhia atu nei i ona tuakana.
27 Beniamin shall rauine as a wolfe: in the morning he shall deuoure the pray, and at night he shall deuide the spoyle.
Ka haehae a Pineamine ano he wuruhi: ka kainga e ia te tupapaku i te ata, a i te ahiahi ka tuwhaina e ia nga taonga parakete.
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.
Ko enei katoa nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira: ko te korero hoki tenei a to ratou papa ki a ratou, ko tana manaaki i a ratou: i manaakitia ratou e ia, tenei, tenei, me tona manaaki ano.
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,
A i whakahau ia ki a ratou, i mea ki a ratou, Ka kohia atu ahau ki toku iwi: tanumia ahau ki oku matua, ki te ana i te parae o Eperona Hiti,
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.
Ki te ana i te parae o Makapera, i te ritenga o Mamere, i te whenua o Kanaana, i hokona, me te parae ano, e Aperahama i a Eperona Hiti, kia puritia hei tanumanga.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife: there they buryed Izhak and Rebekah his wife: and there I buried Leah.
I tanumia a Aperahama raua ko Hara, ko tana wahine, ki reira; i tanumia a Ihaka raua ko Ripeka, ko tana wahine, ki reira; i tanumia hoki a Rea e ahau ki reira.
32 The purchase of the fielde and the caue that is therein, was bought of the children of Heth.
I hokona te parae me te ana i reira i nga tama a Hete.
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.
A, ka mutu te whakahau a Hakopa ki ana tama, ka pepeke ake ona waewae ki roto ki te moenga, a ka hemo, ka kohia atu ki tona iwi.
