Genesis 49
1 Then called Jacob unto his sons, —and said—Gather yourselves together, and let me tell you, that which shall befall you in the afterpart of the days.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh a ca rhoek te a khue tih, “Tun ngol uh lamtah, vuenvai ah nangmih taengah aka thoeng ham te nangmih taengah ka puen pawn ni,
2 Assemble yourselves and hear ye sons of Jacob, —And hearken unto Israel your father!
Jakob ca rhoek loh a yaak uh tih a coi uh thae vaengah, “Na pa Israel kah ol te ya uh van lah.
3 Reuben, my first-born, thou, My vigour, and the first-fruit of my strength, —Pre-eminence of elevation and pre-eminence of power:
Reuben nang he ka caming tih, ka thadueng neh, ka thahuem cuek, hlangrhuel boeimang, hlangtlung hlangrhuel la na om dae,
4 Boiling over like water, thou mayest not have pre-eminence, Because thou didst mount the bed of thy father, —Then, wast thou profane—My marriage-bed, he mounted!
Na pa kah tih thingkong sola na yoeng tih, ka rhaenghmuen te na poeih phoeiah, tui bangla na soetaenah dongah caknoi khaw na khueh mahpawh.
5 Simeon and Levi, are brethren, —Instruments of violence, are their agreements:
Simeon neh Levi boeina, amih rhoi kah tubael tah kuthlahnah tumca ni.
6 Into their circle, do not thou enter my soul! In their convocation, do not thou join mine honour! For in their anger, they slew brave men, And in their wantonness, they ham-strung oxen.
Amih rhoi kah tingtunnah dongah ka hinglu naepkhap pawh. Amah rhoi kah thintoek dongah hlang a ngawn rhoi tih vaito kaprhui haih ham te amih rhoi kah kolonah la a om dongah, kai kah thangpomnah loh amih rhoi a hlangping te bulbo boel saeh.
7 Accursed, be their anger, because fierce, And their wrath because cruel, —I divide them in Jacob, And I disperse them in Israel.
Amih rhoi kah a thinpom khaw a tlung dongah a thintoek te thae a phoei thil. Te dongah a mangkhak te Jakob taengah ka tael vetih Israel taengah khaw ka taekyak ni.
8 Judah, as for thee, thy brethren shall praise thee when thy hand is on the neck of thy foes, —The sons of thy father, shall bow them-selves down to thee:
Judah nang he na manuca rhoek loh nang n'uem uh ni. Na kut te na thunkha a rhawn dongla cu ni. Na pacaboeina te nang taengah bakop uh ni.
9 A lion’s whelp, is Judah, From the prey, my son hast thou come up! He hath stooped—hath crouched As a lion—or as a lioness, Who shall rouse him?
Judah he sathueng ca ni. Ka ca loh maeh kung lamkah na bal phoeiah, sathueng neh sathuengnu bangla aka yuel tih, aka kol te ulong anih a haeng eh.
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor the commander’s staff from between his feet, —Until that he come in as a Shiloh, And, his, be the obedience of the peoples:
Judah lamkah mancai tah nong boel lamtah, a kho laklo lamloh taem saeh. Shiloh a pha duela anih taengah, pilnam kah boengainah om saeh.
11 Binding, to the vine, his ass, And to the choice vine his ass’s colt, He hath washed in wine his raiment, And in the blood of grapes, his mantle:
A laaktal, laaktal te misur dongah, a laak ca te cangsawt misur dongah pael saeh. A pueinak te misurtui dongah, a hnipup, hnipup te misur thii dongah til saeh.
12 Darker—his eyes, than wine, —Whiter—his teeth than milk!
Na mik khaw musurtui lakah ling vetih, na no te suktui lakah bok ni.
13 Zebulon, by a haven of seas, shall he settle down, —Even he, by a haven of ships, With his utmost part upon Zidon.
Zebulun he tuitunli kah langkaeng ah khosa saeh lamtah, langkaeng kah sangpho rhoek bangla a bawtnah loh Sidon due pha saeh.
14 Issachar, an ass of strength, —couching between the pens;
Issakhar he laak songrhuh bangla saelvong laklo ah na kol.
15 Then beholdeth he rest, that it is good, And the ground that it is pleasant, —So he bendeth his shoulder to bear, And becometh a tributary servant.
Duemnah then neh khohmuen hlahmae te khaw a hmuh dae, phueih te a laengpang ah a thueng tih aka thotat saldong la om ni.
16 Dan, shall vindicate his people, —as one of the tribes of Israel;
Dan he Israel koca pakhat vanbangla a pilnam kah lai a thui pah ni.
17 It cometh to pass that, Dan, is a serpent upon the way, A horned viper, upon the path, —That biteth the heels of the horse, And his rider falleth backwards: —
Dan he long taengkah rhul neh marhang dongkah aka ngol te a hnuk la bung saeh tila marhang khomik aka maeng tih, caehlong rhulthae bangla om ni.
18 For thy salvation, have I waited O Yahweh!
BOEIPA nang kah khangnah ham ni ka lamtawn he.
19 Gad! a troop shall troop on him, —But, he, shall troop on the rear.
Gad he caem loh tloek cakhaw anih loh a khomik a tloek pah ni.
20 Out of Asher, fatness, is his food, —So, he, setteth forth dainties for a king.
Asher ham caak bae vetih, manghai buhmong a tael ni.
21 Naphtali, is a slender hind, —That putteth forth antlers of beauty.
Naphtali tah sayukrhuinu bangla khocaeh dangka vetih, ol then a thui ni.
22 A fruitful bough, is Joseph, A fruitful bough over a fountain, —Branches creeping over a wall.
Joseph tah a ca loh thaihsu tih, a ca loh tuiphuet taengkah pungtai. Ngannu ngankhong loh pangbueng dongla luei.
23 So they attack him and have shot, —So they enclose him, do the masters of arrows.
Thaltang boei rhoek a konaeh uh dongah, a phaep uh tih a kah uh.
24 But abideth, as an enduring one, his bow, And supple are the arms of his hands, —From the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, From thence, is the Shepherd the Stone of Israel:
Tedae Jakob kah samrhang kut rhang neh, Israel aka dawn lungnu rhang neh,
25 From the GOD of thy father who doth help thee And GOD Almighty who doth bless thee, Blessings of the heavens, above, Blessings of the abyss, couching beneath, —Blessings of breasts and womb:
Na pa kah Pathen loh nang m'bom tih Tlungthang loh nang te vaan a sosang kah yoethennah, a laedil kah aka kol yoethennah nen khaw, a rhangsuk dongkah yoethennah nen khaw, a bung khuikah nen khaw yoethen m'paek dongah, a li khaw tangkuek la om tih, a kut bantha khaw caang.
26 The blessings of thy father, have prevailed, Over the blessings of the perpetual mountains, The charm of the age-abiding hills, —They turn out to be, for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of the head of him who was set apart from his brethren.
Na pa kah yoethennah he kai aka yom kah yoethennah lakah len. Khosuen som ah a saelongnah hil Joseph lu so neh a manuca hlangcoelh luki soah om saeh.
27 Benjamin a wolf that teareth in pieces, In the morning, he eateth prey, And at eventide, he divideth spoil.
Benjamin, uithang laihat loh, mincang ah maeh a ngaeh, hlaem ah kutbuem a tael,” a ti nah.
28 All these, are the twelve tribes of Israel, —And this, is that which their father spake to them when he blessed them, Each man severally according to the blessing wherewith he blessed them.
A pum boeih la Israel koca he hlai nit dongah a napa loh amih taengah a thui vaengah amah kah yoethennah neh amih te yoethen rhip a paek.
29 Then commanded he them and said unto them—I, am about to be gathered unto my people, Bury me among my fathers, —within the cave, that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite:
Te phoeiah amih te a uen tih, “Kai he ka pilnam taengla ka khum atah a pa rhoek neh Khitti Ephron lo kah lungko ah n'up uh.
30 in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah which is over against Mamre, in the land of Canaan, —which Abraham bought, along with the field, from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace: —
Kanaan kho Mamre hmai, Makpelah lo kah lungko te phuel khohut la Khitti Ephron taeng lamkah Abraham loh a lai khohmuen ni.
31 There, buried they Abraham, and Sarah his wife, There, buried they Isaac, and Rebekah his wife, —And there, buried I Leah: —
Ti ah te Abraham neh a yuu Sarah a up uh tih Isaak neh a yuu Rebekah te pahoi a up uh coeng. Leah khaw pahoi ka up coeng.
32 buying the field and the cave that is therein, from the sons of Heth.
Te dongah Kheth ca rhoek taeng lamkah te khohmuen boiva neh a khuikah lungko te,” a ti nah.
33 So Jacob made an end of commanding his sons, and gathered up his feet into the couch, —and ceased to breathe and was gathered unto his people.
Jakob loh a ca rhoek a uen te a khah phoeiah baiphaih dongla a kho a yueh. Te phoeiah pal tih a pilnam taengla khoem uh.
