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.
Mgbe ahụ, Jekọb kpọkọtara ụmụ ya ndị ikom niile nʼotu sị ha, “Zukọọnụ ka m gwa unu ihe ga-adakwasị unu nʼụbọchị dị nʼihu.

“Zukọọnụ nụrụ, ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb nụrụ okwu nna unu Izrel.
3 Reuben! You [are] my firstborn, My power, and beginning of my strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of strength;
“Ruben, ọkpara m ka ị bụ, ume m, ihe ngosi mbụ nke ike m, onye nsọpụrụ kwesiri, onye mbụ nʼịdị ike.
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!
Onye na-agbanwe agbanwe dịka mmiri dị nʼiyi, ị gaghị abụkwa onye mbụ, nʼihi na ị banyere nʼihe ndina nna gị, i dinara nʼihe ndina m, merụọ ya.
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brothers! Instruments of violence—their espousals!
“Simiọn na Livayị bụ ụmụnne. Mma agha ha bụ ngwa ihe ike.
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.
Ka obi m ghara isonye nʼizuzu ha, ka m ghara isonye nʼọgbakọ ha, nʼihi na ha gburu mmadụ nʼoge iwe ha, bipụkwa nkwonkwo ụkwụ ụmụ ehi na-echeghị echiche.
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.
Ihe a bụrụ ọnụ ka iwe ha bụ, nʼihi na ọ dị njọ. Ọnụma ha, ọ jọbigara njọ oke. Aga m ekesa ha nʼetiti ụmụ Jekọb Kpasaa ha nʼetiti ndị Izrel.
8 Judah! Your brothers praise you! Your hand [is] on the neck of your enemies, Sons of your father bow themselves to you.
“Gị, Juda, ụmụnne gị ga-eto gị. Aka gị ga-adị nʼolu ndị iro gị. Ụmụ ndị ikom nna gị ga-akpọ isiala nye gị.
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?
Ị bụ nwa ọdụm, gị, Juda, i si nʼịchụ nta lọta, nwa m. Dịka ọdụm, ọ na-amakpu, na-edina ala, dịka nne ọdụm, onye ga-anwa anwa kpọtee ya?
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.
Mkpanaka eze agaghị esite nʼebe Juda nọ wezuga onwe ya, maọbụ mkpanaka onyendu esi nʼagbata ụkwụ ya pụọ, tutuu ruo mgbe eze ahụ nwe ya ga-abịa, irube isi nke mba niile ga-abụ nke ya.
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;
Ọ ga-ekenye ịnyịnya ibu ya nʼosisi vaịnị, nʼalaka kachasị mma ka ọ ga-ekenye nwa ịnyịnya ibu ya. Ọ ga-asakwa uwe ya na mmanya. Uwe mwụda ya ka ọ ga-asụkwa nʼọbara mkpụrụ vaịnị.

13 Zebulun dwells at a haven of the seas, And he [is] for a haven of ships; And his side [is] to Sidon.
“Zebụlọn ga-ebi nʼakụkụ osimiri. Ọ ga-abụ ebe izuike nye ụgbọ mmiri. Oke ala ya ga-agbatịpụ ruo Saịdọn.
14 Issachar [is] a strong donkey, Crouching between the two folds;
“Isaka dị ike dịka ịnyịnya ibu na-amakpu nʼetiti ọgba atụrụ.
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.
Mgbe ọ hụrụ otu ebe izuike ya si dị mma, hụ otu ala ya si maa mma, ọ ga-ehudata isi ya ibu ibu arụ; were onwe ya nye ịrụ ọrụ ike.
16 Dan judges his people, As one of the tribes of Israel;
“Dan ga-eme ka ikpe ziri ezi rute ndị ya aka dịka otu nʼime ebo Izrel.
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 ga-adị ka agwọ dị nʼakụkụ okporoụzọ, dịka ajụala dị nʼụzọ ọhịa, nke na-ata ịnyịnya nʼikiri ụkwụ, si otu a mee ka onye na-agba ịnyịnya dalaa azụ.

20 Out of Asher his bread [is] fat; And he gives delicacies of a king.
“Asha ga-esi nʼubi ya wepụta nri gbara abụba, nke na-adị ndị eze mma.
21 Naphtali [is] a doe sent away, Who is giving beautiful young ones.
“Naftalị dịka nne ele a hapụrụ ahapụ, nke na-amụpụta ụmụ ele mara mma.
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain, Daughters step over the wall;
“Dịka osisi vaịnị a kụrụ nʼakụkụ iyi, nke alaka ya na-awasa rigoro nʼelu mgbidi, na nke na-amị ezi mkpụrụ, otu a ka Josef dị.
23 And embitter him indeed, they have striven, Indeed, archers hate him;
Ndị na-agbata ụta sitere nʼobi ilu lụso ya agha, ha gbara ya àkụ site nʼịkpọ asị.
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.
Ma aka o ji jide ụta nke ya adaghị mba, ike agwụghị ogwe aka ya, nʼihi aka Onye dị ike nke Jekọb, nʼihi Onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, Oke Nkume Izrel,
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.
Ngọzị niile nke nna gị, dị ukwu karịa, ngọzị niile nke ugwu ukwu mgbe ochie, karịakwa ngọzị nke ugwu nta mgbe ochie, Ka ngọzị ndị a dị iche dịkwasị nʼisi Josef, dịkwasị nʼegedege ihu Josef, onye bụ onyendu nʼetiti ụmụnne ya.
27 Benjamin! A wolf tears; In the morning he eats prey, And at evening he apportions spoil.”
“Benjamin dịka nkịta ọhịa nke na-adọgbu anụ. Nʼụtụtụ, ọ na-eri anụ ọ dọgburu. Nʼanyasị ọ na-ekesakwa ihe o gbutere.”
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.
Ndị a bụ ebo iri na abụọ dị nʼIzrel. Ihe ndị a bụkwa ihe nna ha gwara ha mgbe ọ gọziri ha, nye onye ọbụla nʼime ha ngọzị nke ruuru ya.
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;
Emesịa, o nyere ha ndụmọdụ sị ha, “Nʼoge na-adịghị anya site ugbu a, aga m anwụ. Unu aghaghị ili m nʼebe e liri nna m ha, nʼala Kenan, nʼime ọgba ahụ dị nʼọhịa Efrọn, onye Het.
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;
Nʼime ọgba dị nʼọhịa Makipela, nke dị nso na Mamre, nʼala Kenan, ọhịa Ebraham zụtara site nʼaka Efrọn onye Het, maka ili ozu.
31 (there they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah; there they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah; and there I buried Leah);
Nʼebe ahụ ka e liri Ebraham na Sera nwunye ya. Nʼebe ahụ kwa ka e liri Aịzik na Ribeka nwunye ya. Nʼebe ahụ ka m liri Lịa.
32 the purchase of the field and of the cave which [is] in it, [is] from sons of Heth.”
Ebraham nna nna m zụrụ ala ahụ na ọgba dị nʼime ya site nʼaka ụmụ Het.”
33 And Jacob finishes commanding his sons, and gathers up his feet to the bed, and expires, and is gathered to his people.
