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.
Epi Jacob te rele fis li yo e te di: “Rasanble nou menm pou m kapab di nou sa k ap rive nou nan jou k ap vini yo.
2 Be assembled, and hear, sons of Jacob, And listen to your father Israel.
Rasanble nou ansanm e tande, fis a Jacob yo. Koute Israël, papa nou.
3 Reuben! You [are] my firstborn, My power, and beginning of my strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of strength;
Ruben, se ou ki premye ne mwen an; pouvwa mwen, kòmansman nan gwo fòs mwen, premye nan respè e premye nan fòs.
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!
San kontwòl tankou dlo k ap bouyi, ou p ap genyen premye; akoz ke ou te monte sou kabann papa ou, epi ou te souye li. Li te monte sou kabann mwen.
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brothers! Instruments of violence—their espousals!
Siméon avèk Lévi se frè yo ye. Nepe pa yo se zouti vyolans.
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.
Pa kite nanm mwen antre nan konsèy pa yo; pa kite glwa mwen vin reyini avèk asanble pa yo. Akoz nan kòlè yo, yo te touye moun, e nan volonte egoyis pa yo, yo te koupe blese jarèt bèf.
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.
Modi se kòlè yo, paske li fewòs; epi vanjans yo, paske li te mechan. Mwen va separe yo nan Jacob, e gaye yo nan Israël.
8 Judah! Your brothers praise you! Your hand [is] on the neck of your enemies, Sons of your father bow themselves to you.
Juda, frè ou yo va ba ou lwanj; men ou ap sou kou lènmi ou yo. Fis a papa ou yo va vin bese ba devan ou.
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?
Juda se jèn pòtre a yon lyon; depi nan manje ou, fis mwen, ou gen tan monte. Li bese kò l, li kouche tankou yon lyon, e tankou yon lyon, se kilès ki gen kouraj pou fè l leve?
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.
Baton gouvènans p ap janm sòti sou Juda, ni bwa règleman p ap janm antre pye li jis lè Schilo vini, e a li menm va parèt obeyisans a tout nasyon yo.
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;
Li mare jenn bourik li ak pi bèl pye rezen an. Li lave vètman li yo nan diven, ak manto li yo nan san rezen yo.
12 Red [are] eyes with wine, And white [are] teeth with milk!
Zye li fonse wouj akoz diven an, e dan li blanchi nan lèt la.
13 Zebulun dwells at a haven of the seas, And he [is] for a haven of ships; And his side [is] to Sidon.
Zabulon va demere bò lanmè; li va yon pwotèj pou gwo bato yo. Lizyè l va ak Sidon.
14 Issachar [is] a strong donkey, Crouching between the two folds;
Issacar se yon bourik gwo fòs k ap kouche ba nan mitan makout bèt.
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.
Lè li te wè ke plas repo sa a te dous, e tè a te fè l plezi, li te double zepòl li pou pote chaj yo, e li te devni yon esklav pou kòve.
16 Dan judges his people, As one of the tribes of Israel;
Dan va jije pèp li kon youn nan tribi Israël yo.
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 va yon sèpan ki nan wout, yon koulèv avèk kòn nan chemen k ap mòde talon cheval la, pou fè chevalye li tonbe an aryè.
18 For Your salvation I have waited, YHWH!
Paske delivrans ou m ap tann, o SENYÈ.
19 Gad! A troop assaults him, But he assaults last.
Pou Gad, piyajè yo va piyaje li, men li va piyaje vè talon pa yo.
20 Out of Asher his bread [is] fat; And he gives delicacies of a king.
Pou Aser, manje li va rich, e li va pwodwi bagay ki delika e ki wayal.
21 Naphtali [is] a doe sent away, Who is giving beautiful young ones.
Nephthali se yon bich ki vin lage. Li donnen bèl pitit.
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain, Daughters step over the wall;
Joseph se yon branch ki donnen fwi; yon branch avèk fwi toupre yon sous. Branch li yo kouri sou yon miray.
23 And embitter him indeed, they have striven, Indeed, archers hate him;
Achè yo te atake avèk rayisman, yo te tire sou li e yo te anmède li;
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.
men banza li te rete fèm, e bwa li yo te fò; depi nan men Toupwisan Jacob la (depi la se Bèje a, Wòch Israël la),
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—
Depi nan Bondye a papa ou ki bay ou soutyen an; Toupwisan an ki beni ou avèk benediksyon anwo nan syèl la, benediksyon ki sòti nan fon ki anba a, e benediksyon tete matris ak vant ki te fè ou a.
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.
Benediksyon a papa ou yo gen tan fin depase sila a zansèt pa m yo jis rive nan limit kolin ki dire pou tout tan yo. Yo va rete sou tèt a Joseph, sou kouwòn a tèt ki byen distenge pami frè li yo.
27 Benjamin! A wolf tears; In the morning he eats prey, And at evening he apportions spoil.”
Benjamin se yon lou voras; nan maten li va devore sa ke li kenbe, e nan aswè, li va divize piyaj la.”
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.
Tout sa yo se douz tribi Israël yo, e se sa ke papa yo te di yo lè li te beni yo. Li te beni yo, yo chak avèk yon benediksyon ke yo te merite.
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;
Konsa, li te bay yo chaj, e li te di yo: “Mwen prèt pou ranmase vè moun mwen yo. Antere mwen avèk zansèt mwen yo nan kav ki nan chan Éphron a, Etyen an,
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;
nan kav ki nan chan Macpéla a, ki avan Mamré nan peyi Canaan an, ke Abraham te achte ansanm avèk chan nan men Éphron, Etyen an pou yon plas antèman.
31 (there they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah; there they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah; and there I buried Leah);
“La menm yo te antere Abraham avèk madanm li Sarah, la yo te antere Isaac avèk madanm li Rebecca, e se la mwen te antere Léa;
32 the purchase of the field and of the cave which [is] in it, [is] from sons of Heth.”
chan an avèk kav ki ladann nan, te achte nan men fis a Heth yo.”
33 And Jacob finishes commanding his sons, and gathers up his feet to the bed, and expires, and is gathered to his people.
Lè li te fin chaje fis li yo, li te rale pye li anndan kabann nan, li te respire dènye souf li, e li te vin ranmase vè moun li yo.
