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.
Na ka karanga a Hakopa ki ana tamariki, ka mea, Huihui mai, a ka korerotia e ahau ki a koutou nga mea e pono ki a koutou i nga ra o muri.
2 Be assembled, and hear, sons of Jacob, And listen to your father Israel.
Huihui mai, whakarongo hoki, e nga tama a Hakopa; whakarongo hoki ki a Iharaira, ki to koutou papa.
3 Reuben! You [are] my firstborn, My power, and beginning of my strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of strength;
E Reupena, ko koe taku matamua, toku pakaritanga, me te timatanga o toku kaha; te hiranga ake o te kororia, te hiranga ake hoki o te kaha:
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!
He mea pokarekare, ano he wai, e kore koe e kaka; mo tou pikitanga i te moenga o tou papa; pokea iho e koe a reira: i pikitia e ia toku takotoranga.
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brothers! Instruments of violence—their espousals!
He tuakana, he teina, a Himiona raua ko Riwai; he rakau riri kino a raua hoari.
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.
Kaua e tomo, e toku wairua, ki to raua runanga; kaua e huihuia, e toku kororia, ki to raua whakaminenga: i patu tangata hoki raua i a raua e riri ana, a he hikaka no raua i kopa ai te kau.
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.
Kia kanga to raua riri, i kaha nei; me to raua aritarita, no te mea he nanakia: ka wehea atu raua e ahau ki roto ki a Hakopa, ka whakamararatia hoki raua ki roto ki a Iharaira.
8 Judah! Your brothers praise you! Your hand [is] on the neck of your enemies, Sons of your father bow themselves to you.
E Hura, ko koe e whakamoemititia e ou tuakana, e ou teina: ka u tou ringa ki te kaki o ou hoariri: ka piko ki a koe nga tama a tou papa.
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?
He kuao raiona a Hura: i kake atu koe, e taku tama, i te haenga: i piko, i tapapa ia, i pera me te raiona, i pera hoki me te raiona katua; ma wai ia e whakaoho?
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.
E kore e riro ke te hepeta i a Hura, me te tokotoko o te kawana i waenganui o ona waewae, kia tae mai ra ano a Hiro; a ka rongo nga iwi katoa ki a ia.
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;
Ka herea e ia tana kuao ki te waina, te tama hoki a tana kaihe ki te waina pai rawa; ka horoia e ia ona kakahu ki te waina, ona weruweru hoki ki te toto o te karepe:
12 Red [are] eyes with wine, And white [are] teeth with milk!
Ka mumura hoki ona kanohi i te waina, ka ma ona niho i te waiu.
13 Zebulun dwells at a haven of the seas, And he [is] for a haven of ships; And his side [is] to Sidon.
Ka noho a Hepurona ki te wahapu o te moana; hei wahapu ano ia mo nga kaipuke; ka tutuki atu hoki tona rohe ki Hairona.
14 Issachar [is] a strong donkey, Crouching between the two folds;
He kaihe kaha a Ihakara, e tapapa ana i waenga o nga moenga hipi e rua:
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.
A, i tona kitenga i te okiokinga he pai, i te whenua hoki he ahuareka; na ka tukua iho e ia tona pokohiwi ki te pikaunga, a meinga ana ia hei pononga homai takoha.
16 Dan judges his people, As one of the tribes of Israel;
Ka whakawa a Rana i tona iwi, ka pera ano me tetahi o nga iwi o Iharaira.
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.
Hei nakahi a Rana ki te ara, hei neke hoki ki te huarahi, e ngau ai i te rekereke o te hoiho, a ka taka whakamuri tona kaieke.
18 For Your salvation I have waited, YHWH!
Kua tatari atu ahau ki tau whakaoranga, e Ihowa.
19 Gad! A troop assaults him, But he assaults last.
Ko Kara, ka aki te ope ki runga ki a ia: otiia ka aki ia ki to ratou rekereke.
20 Out of Asher his bread [is] fat; And he gives delicacies of a king.
Ko ta Ahera, ka momona tana taro, a he kai kingi ona hua.
21 Naphtali [is] a doe sent away, Who is giving beautiful young ones.
Ko Napatari, he hata kua tukua kia haere: e homai ana e ia nga kupu papai.
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain, Daughters step over the wall;
Ko Hohepa he peka hua, he peka hua i te taha o te puna; e toro atu ana ona manga ki tua o te taiepa:
23 And embitter him indeed, they have striven, Indeed, archers hate him;
I whakatupu kino nga kaikopere i a ia, i pere mai hoki, i kino hoki ki a ia:
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.
Otiia i mau tana kopere i runga i te kaha, a i whakapakaritia nga takakau o ona ringa e nga ringa o te Mea Kaha o Hakopa, no reira nei te hepara, te kamaka o Iharaira,
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—
Ara e te Atua o tou papa, mana ano koe e awhina; e te Kaha Rawa hoki, mana e tuku mai ki a koe nga manaaki o te rangi i runga, nga manaaki hoki o te rire e takoto ana i raro, nga manaaki o nga u, o te kopu hoki:
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.
Hira ake nga manaaki a tou papa i nga manaaki a oku tupuna, tae atu ana ki tera taha rawa o nga pukepuke tu tonu: ka tau iho ena mea ki runga ki te matenga o Hohepa, ki te tumuaki hoki ona i motuhia atu nei i ona tuakana.
27 Benjamin! A wolf tears; In the morning he eats prey, And at evening he apportions spoil.”
Ka haehae a Pineamine ano he wuruhi: ka kainga e ia te tupapaku i te ata, a i te ahiahi ka tuwhaina e ia nga taonga parakete.
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.
Ko enei katoa nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira: ko te korero hoki tenei a to ratou papa ki a ratou, ko tana manaaki i a ratou: i manaakitia ratou e ia, tenei, tenei, me tona manaaki ano.
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;
A i whakahau ia ki a ratou, i mea ki a ratou, Ka kohia atu ahau ki toku iwi: tanumia ahau ki oku matua, ki te ana i te parae o Eperona Hiti,
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;
Ki te ana i te parae o Makapera, i te ritenga o Mamere, i te whenua o Kanaana, i hokona, me te parae ano, e Aperahama i a Eperona Hiti, kia puritia hei tanumanga.
31 (there they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah; there they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah; and there I buried Leah);
I tanumia a Aperahama raua ko Hara, ko tana wahine, ki reira; i tanumia a Ihaka raua ko Ripeka, ko tana wahine, ki reira; i tanumia hoki a Rea e ahau ki reira.
32 the purchase of the field and of the cave which [is] in it, [is] from sons of Heth.”
I hokona te parae me te ana i reira i nga tama a Hete.
33 And Jacob finishes commanding his sons, and gathers up his feet to the bed, and expires, and is gathered to his people.
A, ka mutu te whakahau a Hakopa ki ana tama, ka pepeke ake ona waewae ki roto ki te moenga, a ka hemo, ka kohia atu ki tona iwi.
