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 last days.
Awo Yakobo n’ayita batabani be n’abagamba nti, Mukuŋŋaane, ndyoke mbategeeze ebiribabaako mu nnaku ezijja.
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
Mukuŋŋaane muwulire, mwe abaana ba Yakobo, muwulirize Isirayiri kitammwe.
3 Reuben, thou art my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength; the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power [should be thine].
Lewubeeni ggwe mubereberye wange, amaanyi gange, ebibala ebibereberye eby’amaanyi gange, ekitiibwa n’obuyinza ebiyitirivu.
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not have the excellence; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou the one who ascended my couch.
Naye tafugika, oli ng’amayengo g’ennyanja, naye tokyali wa kitiibwa, kubanga walinnya ekitanda kya kitaawo, mu nnyumba yange, n’okyonoona.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; weapons of violence are their swords.
Simyoni ne Leevi baaluganda, ebitala byabwe byakulwanyisa bya maanyi.
6 Into their secret shall my soul not come; unto their assembly my spirit shall not be united; for in their anger they slew the man, and in their self-will they lamed the ox.
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 anger, for it is fierce; and their wrath, for it is cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
Obusungu bwabwe bukolimirwe, kubanga bungi; n’obukambwe bwabwe, kubanga bwa ttima. Ndibaawula mu Yakobo, ndibasaasaanya mu Isirayiri.
8 Judah, thou art the one thy brothers shall praise, thy hand shall be on the neck of thy enemies; thy father's children shall bow down unto thee.
Yuda gwe baganda bo banaakutenderezanga. Omukono gwo gunaatulugunyanga abalabe bo. Abaana ba kitaawo banaakuvuunamiranga.
9 Like a lion's whelp, O Judah, from the prey, my son, thou risest: he stoopeth down, he croucheth as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him up?
Yuda, mwana w’empologoma. Oyambuse mwana wange, ng’ovudde ku muyiggo. Yakutama, yabwama ng’empologoma. Ddala ng’empologoma enkazi, ani anaakweŋŋanga?
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet; until Shiloh come, and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Era omuggo gw’omufuzi teguuvenga wakati wa bigere bya Yuda, okutuusa Siiro lw’alijja; era oyo amawanga gonna gwe ganaawuliranga.
11 He bindeth unto the vine his foal, and to the vine-branch his ass's colt; he washeth his garments in wine, and in the blood of grapes his clothes;
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 shall be red from wine, and his teeth white from milk.
Amaaso ge galimyuka wayini, n’amannyo ge galitukula okusinga amata.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the margin of the seas; and he shall be at the haven of ships; and his border shall be near to Zidon.
Zebbulooni alibeera ku mabbali ga nnyanja; anaabanga mwalo gw’amaato, ensalo ze ziriba ku Sidoni.
14 Issachar is a strong-boned ass, couching down between the stables.
Isakaali ndogoyi ya maanyi, ng’akutama wakati mu bisibo by’endiga;
15 And when he saw the resting-place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant, he bent his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto 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 judge 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 on the path, that biteth the horse in the heels, so that his rider falleth backward.
Ddaani anaaba musota mu kkubo, essalambwa ku kkubo, eriruma ebisinziiro by’embalaasi, omwebagazi waayo alyoke agwe emabega waayo.
18 For thy salvation, I hope, O Lord.
Nnindirira obulokozi bwo, Ayi Mukama.
19 Gad, troops will band against him; but he shall wound their heel.
Gaadi alirumbibwa ogubiina gw’abanyazi, naye ye, alibafubutukira emabega.
20 Out of Asher cometh fat bread, and he shall yield royal dainties.
Aseri emmere ye eneebanga ngimu, era anaagemuliranga kabaka ebyokulya.
21 Naphtali is [like] a fleet hind; he bringeth pleasant words.
Nafutaali mpeewo ya ddembe, avaamu ebigambo ebirungi.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a spring; the branches of which run over the wall.
Yusufu lye ttabi eribala ennyo, ettabi eribala ennyo eriri ku mugga; abaana be babuna bbugwe.
23 And they embittered his life, and they shot at him, and they hated him, the men of the arrows.
Abalasa obusaale baamulumba bubi nnyo, baamulasa ne bamulumya nnyo;
24 But his bow abode in strength, and his arm and his hands remained firm; from the hands of the mighty God of Jacob, from there thou becamest the shepherd, 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 From the God of thy father, who will help thee; and from the Almighty, who will bless thee, with blessings of heaven above, with blessings of the deep that coucheth beneath, with blessings of the breasts, and of the womb;
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 With the blessings of thy father that have excelled the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: these shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brothers.
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 Benjamin shall be as a wolf that rendeth: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at evening he shall divide the spoil.
Benyamini musege ogunyaga, mu makya alya omuyiggo, mu kawungeezi n’agaba omunyago.
28 All these are the tribes of Israel, twelve in number; and this is what their father spoke unto them, and wherewith he blessed them; every one according to his proper blessing blessed he them.
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 said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people; bury me near my fathers in the cave that is in the field 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 cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which field Abraham bought of Ephron the Hittite, for a possession as a burying-place,
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 buried Isaac 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 Purchasing the field and the cave that is therein from the children of Heth.
Ennimiro n’empuku erimu byagulibwa okuva ku baana ba Kesi.”
33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed; and he departed this life, and was gathered unto 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.
