Genesis 49
1 Then Jacob summoned his sons, and said: "Gather yourselves together so that I may tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.
KAHEA aku la o Iakoba i kana mau keikikane, i aku la, E houluulu mai ia oukou iho i hai aku ai au ia oukou i na mea e hiki mai ana io oukou la i na la mahope.
2 Assemble yourselves and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
E houluulu mai ia oukou iho, e lohe, e na keiki a Iakoba; e hoolohe mai ia Iseraela i ko oukou makuakane.
3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength, and the the firstfruits of my virility, preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power.
E Reubena e, o oe no ka'u hiapo, o ko'u ikaika, a me ka hoomaka ana o ka ui o'u; ke kela ana i ka hanohano, ke kela ana i ka mana:
4 Uncontrolled as the waters, you will not have excel, because you went up to your father's bed, you went up and defiled my couch.
He hu wale me he wai la, aole oe e kela aku, no ka mea, pii aku la oe i ka moe o kou makuakane: alaila oe i hoohaumia iho ai: pii aka la ia i kuu wahi moe.
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
O Simeona laua o Levi, he mau hoahanau laua: aia na mea hoomainoino ma ko laua hoolimalima.
6 May I never enter their council. May my honor never be joined with their assembly. For in their anger they killed men, and for pleasure they hamstrung oxen.
Ma ko laua wahi ohumu aole e hele aku kuu uhane, ma ko laua halawai aole e hui pu ia'ku ko'u naui: no ka mea, no ko laua inaina pepehi iho la laua i ke kanaka, a no ko laua makemake oki iho la laua i ke olona wawae o ka bipi.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it has been fierce, and their fury, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
E hoinoia ka laua inaina, no ka mea, he ino ia, a me ko laua huhu, no ka mea, he koikoi ia: e mahelehele au ia laua iloko o ka Iakoba, a e hoopuehu au in laua iloko o ka Iseraela.
8 Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father's sons will bow down before you.
E Iuda e, o oe ka mea a na hoahanau ou e hoomaikai ai: o kou lima, aia no ia ma ka a-i o kou poe enemi; e kulou iho hoi na keiki a kou makuakane imua on.
9 Judah is a lion's cub. From the prey, my son, you rise up. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?
He keiki a ka liona o Iuda, ua pii ae oe, e kuu keiki, mai ke pio ae: kukuli iho la ia, a moe iho la me he liona kane la, a me ka liona wahine; nawai ia e hoala ae?
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. And it is he whom the peoples will obey.
Aole e lilo aku ke kookeo alii mai o Iuda aku, aole hoi ka mea webewehe kanawai maiwaena aku o kona mau wawae, a hiki mai ai o Silo; a ia ia ke akoakoa ana ae o na kanaka.
11 Binding his foal to the vine, and his donkey's colt to the choice vine. He will wash his garments in wine, and his robes in the blood of grapes.
E hikii ana i kana keikihoki i ke kumuwaina, a me ke keiki a ka hokiwahine i ke kumuwaina maikai, holoi iho la ia i kona kapa i ka waina, a me kona aahu i ke koko o ka huawaina.
12 His eyes will be darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
E ulaula kona mau maka i ka waina, e keokeo hoi kona mau niho i ka waiu.
13 Zebulun will dwell at the seashore, and he will be a harbor for ships, and his border will be at Sidon.
E noho auanei o Zebuluna ma ke kahakai; oia no ke kahakai no na moku; a e hiki aku kona palena i Sidona.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey lying down between the saddlebags.
He hoki ikaika no o Isakara e moe ana mawaena o na halemalumalu:
15 When he sees a good resting place, that the land is pleasant, he will bend his back to the burden, and become a slave doing forced labor.
Ike iho la ia i ka maha he maikai ia, a i ka aina he oluolu ia, kulon iho la ia i kona hokua i ka ukana, a lilo iho la ia i kauwn e auhauia'i.
16 Dan will judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
E hooponopono o Dana i kona hanauna a kanaka, e like me kekahi o na ohana o Iseraela.
17 Dan will be a serpent on the road, a viper by the path, that bites the horse's heels so that his rider falls backward.
He nahesa o Dana ma kapa alanui, he moolele ma ke ala; nana e nahu aku na kuekuewawae o ka lio, a e haule hope iho ka mea e hooholo ana ia ia.
18 I wait for your salvation, God.
Ua kali au i kou hoola ana, e Iehova.
19 Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will raid at their heels.
O Gada, e lanakila mai ka poe kaua maluna ona, aka, e lanakila aku oia ma ka hope.
20 Asher's food will be rich, and he will provide royal delicacies.
Mai Asera mai kana ai momona, a e haawi aku ia i na mea ono na na'lii.
21 Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.
O Napetali, he diawahine ia i kalaia'ku; ke hua mai nei ia i na huaolelo maikai.
22 Joseph is a fruitful son, a fruitful son by a spring. His branches run over a wall.
He lala hua o Iosepa, he lala hua ma ka punawai: ke kolo ae nei na lala ona maluna o ka pa.
23 The archers will attack him with bitterness, and shoot at him, and harass him.
Ua hooeha nui mai, a ua pana mai hoi na mea pana ia ia, a ua inaina mai lakou ia ia.
24 Yet his bow will remain steady, and his arms will be made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
Aka, ua mau no kona kakaka i ka ikaika, a ua hooikaikaia kona mau lima e na lima o ka Mea mana o Iakoba; (nolaila mai ke kahuhipa, ka pohaku no Iseraela; )
25 by the God of your father, who will help you, and El Shaddai, who will bless you with blessings of the sky above, blessings of the deep that lies below, and blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
E ke Akua o kou makua, nana oe e kokua mai; e ka Mea mana loa hoi, nana oe e hoomaikai mai i na mea maikai o ka lani iluna, a o ka hohonu ilalo, i na mea maikai o ka u, a o ka opu.
26 The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, and the bounty of the everlasting hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, and on the brow of the prince among his brothers.
Ua oi aku ka hoomaikai ana o kou makuakane maluna o na hoomaikai ana o na mauna mau, a hiki aku hoi i na mokuna o na puu kahiko loa: maluna no auanei ia o ke poo o Iosepa, a maluna hoi o ka piko o ke poo o ka mea i hookaawaleia ae mai koua poe hanauna aku.
27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey, and at evening he will divide the plunder."
E haehae o Beniamina me he iliohae la, i ke kakahiaka e ai iho ia i ke pio, a i ke ahiahi e puunaue ia i ka waiwai pio.
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them. He blessed each one with his own individual blessing.
O keia poe a pau, o ka poe ohana ia a Iseraela he umikumamalua: a oia ka mea a ko lakou makuakane i olelo mai ai ia lakou, a i hoomaikai mai ai ia lakou; i kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me ka hoomaikai ana, ana i hoomaikai mai ai ia lakou.
29 Then he instructed them, and said to them, "I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hethite,
Kauoha aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, E huipu ana au me ko'u poe makua: e kanu pu hoi oukou la'u me na makua o'u ma ke ana maloko o ke kula o Eperona, no ka Heta,
30 in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is near Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the field from Ephron the Hethite as a burial place.
Ma ke ana iloko o ke kula ma Makepela, ma ke alo o Mamere, ma ka aina o Kanaana, o ke kula a Aberahama i kuai ai me Eperona, no ka Heta, i wahi ilina kupapau nona.
31 There they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah. There they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and there I buried Leah.
Malaila lakou i kanu ai ia Aberahama, a me kana wahine me Sara, a malaila lakou i kanu ai ia Isaaka a me kana wahine mo Rebeka, a malaila hoi au i kanu ai ia Lea.
32 The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the sons of Heth."
Ua kuaiia ke kula, a me ke ana iloko me na mamo a Heta.
33 When Jacob finished instructing his sons, he drew his legs up into the bed and breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.
A pau ka Iakoba kauoha ana i kana poe keiki, opili ae la ia i kona mau wawae maluna o kahi moe, kaili aku la ke aho, a huipu ia iho la ia me kona poe makua.
