< 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.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh a ca rhoek te a khue tih, “Tun ngol uh lamtah, vuenvai ah nangmih taengah aka thoeng ham te nangmih taengah ka puen pawn ni,
2 Be assembled, and hear, sons of Jacob, And listen to your father Israel.
Jakob ca rhoek loh a yaak uh tih a coi uh thae vaengah, “Na pa Israel kah ol te ya uh van lah.
3 Reuben! You [are] my firstborn, My power, and beginning of my strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of strength;
Reuben nang he ka caming tih, ka thadueng neh, ka thahuem cuek, hlangrhuel boeimang, hlangtlung hlangrhuel la na om dae,
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!
Na pa kah tih thingkong sola na yoeng tih, ka rhaenghmuen te na poeih phoeiah, tui bangla na soetaenah dongah caknoi khaw na khueh mahpawh.
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brothers! Instruments of violence—their espousals!
Simeon neh Levi boeina, amih rhoi kah tubael tah kuthlahnah tumca ni.
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.
Amih rhoi kah tingtunnah dongah ka hinglu naepkhap pawh. Amah rhoi kah thintoek dongah hlang a ngawn rhoi tih vaito kaprhui haih ham te amih rhoi kah kolonah la a om dongah, kai kah thangpomnah loh amih rhoi a hlangping te bulbo boel saeh.
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.
Amih rhoi kah a thinpom khaw a tlung dongah a thintoek te thae a phoei thil. Te dongah a mangkhak te Jakob taengah ka tael vetih Israel taengah khaw ka taekyak ni.
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 he na manuca rhoek loh nang n'uem uh ni. Na kut te na thunkha a rhawn dongla cu ni. Na pacaboeina te nang taengah bakop uh ni.
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?
Judah he sathueng ca ni. Ka ca loh maeh kung lamkah na bal phoeiah, sathueng neh sathuengnu bangla aka yuel tih, aka kol te ulong anih a haeng eh.
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.
Judah lamkah mancai tah nong boel lamtah, a kho laklo lamloh taem saeh. Shiloh a pha duela anih taengah, pilnam kah boengainah om saeh.
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;
A laaktal, laaktal te misur dongah, a laak ca te cangsawt misur dongah pael saeh. A pueinak te misurtui dongah, a hnipup, hnipup te misur thii dongah til saeh.
12 Red [are] eyes with wine, And white [are] teeth with milk!
Na mik khaw musurtui lakah ling vetih, na no te suktui lakah bok ni.
13 Zebulun dwells at a haven of the seas, And he [is] for a haven of ships; And his side [is] to Sidon.
Zebulun he tuitunli kah langkaeng ah khosa saeh lamtah, langkaeng kah sangpho rhoek bangla a bawtnah loh Sidon due pha saeh.
14 Issachar [is] a strong donkey, Crouching between the two folds;
Issakhar he laak songrhuh bangla saelvong laklo ah na kol.
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.
Duemnah then neh khohmuen hlahmae te khaw a hmuh dae, phueih te a laengpang ah a thueng tih aka thotat saldong la om ni.
16 Dan judges his people, As one of the tribes of Israel;
Dan he Israel koca pakhat vanbangla a pilnam kah lai a thui pah ni.
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 he long taengkah rhul neh marhang dongkah aka ngol te a hnuk la bung saeh tila marhang khomik aka maeng tih, caehlong rhulthae bangla om ni.
18 For Your salvation I have waited, YHWH!
BOEIPA nang kah khangnah ham ni ka lamtawn he.
19 Gad! A troop assaults him, But he assaults last.
Gad he caem loh tloek cakhaw anih loh a khomik a tloek pah ni.
20 Out of Asher his bread [is] fat; And he gives delicacies of a king.
Asher ham caak bae vetih, manghai buhmong a tael ni.
21 Naphtali [is] a doe sent away, Who is giving beautiful young ones.
Naphtali tah sayukrhuinu bangla khocaeh dangka vetih, ol then a thui ni.
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain, Daughters step over the wall;
Joseph tah a ca loh thaihsu tih, a ca loh tuiphuet taengkah pungtai. Ngannu ngankhong loh pangbueng dongla luei.
23 And embitter him indeed, they have striven, Indeed, archers hate him;
Thaltang boei rhoek a konaeh uh dongah, a phaep uh tih a kah uh.
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.
Tedae Jakob kah samrhang kut rhang neh, Israel aka dawn lungnu rhang neh,
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—
Na pa kah Pathen loh nang m'bom tih Tlungthang loh nang te vaan a sosang kah yoethennah, a laedil kah aka kol yoethennah nen khaw, a rhangsuk dongkah yoethennah nen khaw, a bung khuikah nen khaw yoethen m'paek dongah, a li khaw tangkuek la om tih, a kut bantha khaw caang.
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.
Na pa kah yoethennah he kai aka yom kah yoethennah lakah len. Khosuen som ah a saelongnah hil Joseph lu so neh a manuca hlangcoelh luki soah om saeh.
27 Benjamin! A wolf tears; In the morning he eats prey, And at evening he apportions spoil.”
Benjamin, uithang laihat loh, mincang ah maeh a ngaeh, hlaem ah kutbuem a tael,” a ti nah.
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.
A pum boeih la Israel koca he hlai nit dongah a napa loh amih taengah a thui vaengah amah kah yoethennah neh amih te yoethen rhip a paek.
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;
Te phoeiah amih te a uen tih, “Kai he ka pilnam taengla ka khum atah a pa rhoek neh Khitti Ephron lo kah lungko ah n'up uh.
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;
Kanaan kho Mamre hmai, Makpelah lo kah lungko te phuel khohut la Khitti Ephron taeng lamkah Abraham loh a lai khohmuen ni.
31 (there they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah; there they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah; and there I buried Leah);
Ti ah te Abraham neh a yuu Sarah a up uh tih Isaak neh a yuu Rebekah te pahoi a up uh coeng. Leah khaw pahoi ka up coeng.
32 the purchase of the field and of the cave which [is] in it, [is] from sons of Heth.”
Te dongah Kheth ca rhoek taeng lamkah te khohmuen boiva neh a khuikah lungko te,” a ti nah.
33 And Jacob finishes commanding his sons, and gathers up his feet to the bed, and expires, and is gathered to his people.
Jakob loh a ca rhoek a uen te a khah phoeiah baiphaih dongla a kho a yueh. Te phoeiah pal tih a pilnam taengla khoem uh.
