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.
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 Assemble yourselves and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
Rasanble nou ansanm e tande, fis a Jacob yo. Koute Israël, papa nou.
3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength, and the the firstfruits of my virility, preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power.
Ruben, se ou ki premye ne mwen an; pouvwa mwen, kòmansman nan gwo fòs mwen, premye nan respè e premye nan fòs.
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.
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. Their swords are weapons of violence.
Siméon avèk Lévi se frè yo ye. Nepe pa yo se zouti vyolans.
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.
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 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.
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 will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father's sons will bow down before 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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 His eyes will be darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
Zye li fonse wouj akoz diven an, e dan li blanchi nan lèt la.
13 Zebulun will dwell at the seashore, and he will be a harbor for ships, and his border will be at 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 lying down between the saddlebags.
Issacar se yon bourik gwo fòs k ap kouche ba nan mitan makout bèt.
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.
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 will judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan va jije pèp li kon youn nan tribi Israël yo.
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.
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 I wait for your salvation, God.
Paske delivrans ou m ap tann, o SENYÈ.
19 Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will raid at their heels.
Pou Gad, piyajè yo va piyaje li, men li va piyaje vè talon pa yo.
20 Asher's food will be rich, and he will provide royal delicacies.
Pou Aser, manje li va rich, e li va pwodwi bagay ki delika e ki wayal.
21 Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.
Nephthali se yon bich ki vin lage. Li donnen bèl pitit.
22 Joseph is a fruitful son, a fruitful son by a spring. His branches run over a wall.
Joseph se yon branch ki donnen fwi; yon branch avèk fwi toupre yon sous. Branch li yo kouri sou yon miray.
23 The archers will attack him with bitterness, and shoot at him, and harass him.
Achè yo te atake avèk rayisman, yo te tire sou li e yo te anmède li;
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,
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 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.
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 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.
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 is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey, and at evening he will divide the plunder."
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 what their father said to them when he blessed them. He blessed each one with his own individual blessing.
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 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,
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 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.
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 field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the sons of Heth."
chan an avèk kav ki ladann nan, te achte nan men fis a Heth yo.”
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.
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.
