Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: 'Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the end of days.
Kemudian Yakub memanggil anak-anaknya dan berkata, "Berkumpullah di sini, di dekatku. Akan kuberitahukan kepadamu apa yang akan kalian alami di kemudian hari:
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
Berkumpullah, hai anak-anak Yakub, dengarlah Israel, ayahmu.
3 Reuben, thou art my first-born, my might, and the first-fruits of my strength; the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power.
Ruben, anakku yang sulung, engkaulah kekuatanku, buah pertama keperkasaanku. Engkau tergagah dan terkuat di antara semua anakku.
4 Unstable as water, have not thou the excellency; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it — he went up to my couch.
Engkau mudah tergoncang seperti air, sehingga bukan yang utama; sebab engkau tidur dengan selirku, kaunodai tempat tidur ayahmu.

Simeon dan Lewi bersaudara; senjata mereka alat kekerasan.
6 Let my soul not come into their council; unto their assembly let my glory not be united; for in their anger they slew men, and in their self-will they houghed oxen.
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 anger, for it was fierce, and their wrath, for it was cruel; I will divide them in Jacob, 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 Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise; thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; thy father's sons shall bow down before thee.
Yehuda, engkau akan menerkam tengkuk musuhmu; saudara-saudaramu akan memujimu dan sujud di hadapanmu.
9 Judah is a lion's whelp; from the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as a lioness; who shall rouse him up?
Yehuda bagaikan singa muda; ia membunuh mangsanya, lalu kembali ke sarangnya; ia menggeliat lalu berbaring, dan tak seorang pun berani mengusiknya.
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, as long as men come to Shiloh; and unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be.
Yehuda akan memegang tongkat kerajaan, keturunannya akan memerintah selama-lamanya. Bangsa-bangsa akan membawa upeti, dan sujud dengan takluk di hadapannya.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washeth his garments in wine, and his vesture 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 shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
Merah matanya karena minum anggur, putih giginya karena minum susu.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the shore of the sea, and he shall be a shore for ships, and his flank shall be upon Zidon.
Zebulon akan diam di dekat laut; kapal-kapal akan berlabuh di pantainya; sampai Sidon batas wilayahnya.
14 Issachar is a large-boned ass, couching down between the sheep-folds.
Isakhar itu bagaikan keledai kuat yang berbaring di antara keranjang bebannya.
15 For he saw a resting-place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under task-work
Dilihatnya betapa baiknya tempat itu dan betapa indahnya negeri itu, maka membungkuklah ia rela dibebani, dan dipaksa bekerja sebagai hamba.
16 Dan shall judge 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 in the way, a horned snake in the path, that biteth the horse's heels, so that his rider falleth backward.
Engkau seperti ular di pinggir jalan, ular berbisa di tepi lorong, yang memagut tumit kuda sampai terlempar penunggangnya.
18 I wait for Thy salvation, O Lord.
Ya TUHAN, keselamatan yang Kauberikan, itulah yang kunanti-nantikan.
19 Gad, a troop shall troop upon him; but he shall troop upon their heel.
Gad, engkau akan diserang perampok, namun engkau akan balik merampok mereka.
20 As for Asher, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
Asyer, makananmu limpah mewah, kau akan menyediakan makanan bagi raja-raja.

Naftali, laksana rusa terlepas, sangat cantik anak-anaknya.
22 Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a fountain; its branches run over the wall.
Yusuf bagai keledai muda, keledai liar dekat mata air, berlari-lari di lereng gunung.
23 The archers have dealt bitterly with him, and shot at him, and hated him;
Musuh menyerang dengan sengit, mengejarnya dengan busur dan panah.
24 But his bow abode firm, and the arms of his hands were made supple, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, from thence, from the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel,
Namun Yusuf tetap kukuh lengannya, tetap kuat panahnya, karena kuasa Sang Gembala Mahakuat, Allah Yakub, Pelindung Israel.
25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee, and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that coucheth beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
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 are mighty beyond the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of the prince among 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 Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth; in the morning he devoureth the prey, and at even he divideth the spoil.'
Benyamin adalah serigala ganas. Di pagi hari ia menerkam mangsanya. Di malam hari ia membagi-bagikannya."
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is it that their father spoke unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
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 said unto them: 'I am to be gathered unto my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field 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 cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying-place.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac 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 field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.'
Ladang dan gua yang ada di situ telah dibeli dari orang Het. Kuburkanlah aku di situ."
33 And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered unto his people.
Setelah Yakub selesai berpesan kepada anak-anaknya, berbaringlah ia lalu meninggal.
