Genesis 49
1 And Jacob calls to his sons and says, “Be gathered together, and I declare to you that which happens with you in the latter end of the days.
To pacoengah Jakob mah a capanawk to kawk moe, hmabang angzo han koi hmuen kang thuih o han pongah, ahmuen maeto ah amkhueng oh.
2 Be assembled, and hear, sons of Jacob, And listen to your father Israel.
Jakob ih caanawk, nawnto amkhueng oh loe, nam Pa Israel ih lok hae tahngai oh.
3 Reuben! You [are] my firstborn, My power, and beginning of my strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of strength;
Reuben, nang loe ka calu, ka thacakhaih, ka tha oh tangsuekhaih, saiqathaih hoi sakthaihaih sang koek ah na oh.
4 Unstable as water, you are not abundant; For you have gone up your father’s bed; Then you have defiled [it]: He went up my couch!
Tui baktiah nang phui pongah, na hoihhaih om mak ai boeh; nam pa iihhaih nuiah na dawh moe, ka iihhaih to nam hnongsak.
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brothers! Instruments of violence—their espousals!
Simeon hoi Levi loe nawkamya ah oh moe, sumsen hoiah kasae sakhaih ahmuen ah a oh hoi.
6 Into their secret, do not come, O my soul! Do not be united to their assembly, O my glory; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will eradicated a prince.
Aw ka hinghaih, nihnik mah tamquta hoi sak ih ahmuen ah na thumsak hmah, kai pakoehhaih loe nihcae amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah na thumsak hmah; nihnik loe palungphuihaih hoiah kami to hum hoi moe, a koeh hoi ih baktiah vangpui tapang to paro hoi.
7 Cursed [is] their anger, for [it is] fierce, And their wrath, for [it is] sharp; I divide them in Jacob, And I scatter them in Israel.
Nihnik loe palungphui hoi, poek amthueng hoi moe, palungduemh hoi pongah kasae zok hoi nasoe! Jakob acaeng thungah nihnik to ka tapraek moe, Israel acaeng thungah kam hetsak phang han.
8 Judah! Your brothers praise you! Your hand [is] on the neck of your enemies, Sons of your father bow themselves to you.
Judah, nang loe nam yanawk mah pakoeh o tih; na ban loe misanawk ih tahnong nuiah om tih; nam pa ih caanawk loe na hmaa ah akuep o tih.
9 A lion’s whelp [is] Judah, For prey, my son, you have gone up; He has bent, he has crouched as a lion, And as a lioness; who causes him to arise?
Aw Judah, nang loe kanawk kaipui ah na oh, ka capa, nang loe moi kaekhaih ahmuen hoiah nang zoh tahang moe, na tabok; kaipui baktih, kaipui amno baktih toengah avah; mi mah maw anih to pathawk thai tih?
10 The scepter does not turn aside from Judah, And a lawgiver from between his feet, Until his Seed comes; And His [is] the obedience of peoples.
Shiloh pha ai karoek to tayae toeng loe, Judah khae hoi amhoe mak ai ueloe, a ukhaih cunghet doeh a khok salak hoiah takhoe mak ai; kaminawk loe anih khaeah ni amkhueng o tih.
11 Binding to the vine his donkey, And to the choice vine the colt of his donkey, He has washed in wine his clothing, And in the blood of grapes his covering;
Misurkung pongah angmah ih hrang to paeh ueloe, laa hrang caa to kahoih koek misurkung pongah paeh tih; angmah ih khukbuen to misurtui hoi pasuk ueloe, angmah ih laihawnawk doeh misurtui hoiah pasuk tih.

Anih ih mik loe misurtui hoi thim ueloe, a ha doeh maitaw tahnutui hoiah anglung tih.
13 Zebulun dwells at a haven of the seas, And he [is] for a haven of ships; And his side [is] to Sidon.

14 Issachar [is] a strong donkey, Crouching between the two folds;
Issakar loe mae salakah tabok thacak laa hrang ah oh;
15 And he sees rest, that [it is] good, And the land, that [it is] pleasant, And he inclines his shoulder to bear, And is a servant for tribute.
anghakhaih ahmuen kahoih to a hnuk moe, prae kahoih to a hnuk pongah, angmah ih palaeng nuiah hmuen to koeng ueloe, tamut paek tamna ah om tih.
16 Dan judges his people, As one of the tribes of Israel;
Dan loe Israel ih acaeng maeto ah oh baktih toengah, angmah ih kaminawk to lokcaek tih.
17 Dan is a serpent by the way, a viper by the path, Which is biting the horse’s heels, And its rider falls backward.
Dan loe loklam ah kaom pahui ah om ueloe, hrang angthueng kami to hnuk angnawnsak hanah, hrang khok tahmawh patuk pahui sae ah om tih.
18 For Your salvation I have waited, YHWH!
Aw Angraeng, na pahlonghaih to ka zing.
19 Gad! A troop assaults him, But he assaults last.
Misanawk mah Gad to tuh o tih, toe anih mah nihcae to tuh let ueloe, hnukkhuem ah pazawk tih.

22 Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain, Daughters step over the wall;
Joseph loe thacak thingkung, tui taengah kaom thingkung ah oh; anih ih tanghangnawk loe tapang ranui khoek to amzam.
23 And embitter him indeed, they have striven, Indeed, archers hate him;
Kalii kaat kop kaminawk mah anih to paroeai raihaih paek o, hnukma o moe, a kah o;
24 And his bow abides in strength, And strengthened are the arms of his hands By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, From where is a shepherd, a son of Israel.
toe anih ih kalii loe thazok ai; anih ih ban tampawk loe Jakob Sithaw ih ban thacakhaih rang hoiah, (tuutoep kami ah kaom, Israel ih lungsong ah oh; )
25 By the God of your father who helps you, And the Mighty One who blesses you, Blessings of the heavens from above, Blessings of the deep lying under, Blessings of breasts and womb—

26 Your father’s blessings have been mighty Above the blessings of my progenitors, To the limit of the perpetual heights They are for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of the one Separate [from] his brothers.
nam pa mah paek ih tahamhoihaih loe, canghni ah mae nui ih tahamhoihaih, dungzan maesomnawk nuiah kaom kahoih hmuennawk pongah doeh len kue; to tahamhoihaih loe Joseph ih lu nuiah om nasoe loe, amyanawk hoi kamhoe ah kaom kami ih lu nuiah om nasoe.
27 Benjamin! A wolf tears; In the morning he eats prey, And at evening he apportions spoil.”
Benjamin loe kalomh thaih tasui ah oh; anih loe khawnthaw ah moi to kaek ueloe, aqum ah a lomh ih hmuen to tapraek tih, tiah a naa.
28 All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel, and this [is] that which their father has spoken to them, and he blesses them; each according to his blessing he has blessed them.
Hae kaminawk loe Isreal acaeng hatlai hnetto ah oh o, ampa mah nihcae khaeah thuih pae ih lok loe hae tiah oh; ampa mah nihcae hak han koi tahamhoihaih to paek boih.
29 And he commands them and says to them, “I am being gathered to my people; bury me by my fathers, at the cave which [is] in the field of Ephron the Hittite;
To pacoengah nihcae khaeah hae tiah lokthuih pae; Kai loe kaimah ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah ka caeh han boeh; Hit kami Ephron ih lawk thungah kaom thlungkhaw thungah kam panawk hoi nawnto na phum oh,
30 in the cave which [is] in the field of Machpelah, which [is] on the front of Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying-place;

32 the purchase of the field and of the cave which [is] in it, [is] from sons of Heth.”
Lawk hoi thlungkhaw loe, Hit kaminawk khaeah ni ka qanh, tiah a naa.
33 And Jacob finishes commanding his sons, and gathers up his feet to the bed, and expires, and is gathered to his people.
A caanawk khaeah lokthuih boih pacoengah, Jakob loe a iihhaih ahmuen ah a khok to azuh tahang, hinghaih qui apet pacoengah, angmah ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah angkuem.
