Genesis 49
1 Jacob summoned all his sons, and said to them,
Hichun Jacob in achate jouse akou khom in hitin aseiye, “Keima naivel a hung kikhom un, chule keiman nangho thuguh kasei peh ding nahiuve, khonunga ipi hung lhung ding ham naseipeh uvinge,” ati.
2 “Gather around me in order that I can tell you what will happen in the future. My sons, come and listen to me. I am your father, [Jacob, whom God named] Israel.
Hung un chule ngaijun, nangho Jacob chate ho napao Israel thusei ngai jun,
3 Reuben, you are my oldest son. You were born when I was young and energetic/strong. You are prouder and stronger than all the rest of my sons.
Reuben kachapa atahpen katha hat pen laiya kanei, ka khanghoi lai tah a kahin chule nangma amasa penna jana chang chule nangma amasa pena thahat chang nahi.
4 But you were as uncontrollable as a flood [SIM]. So now you will not be my most important son, because you climbed up onto my bed, and had sex with [MTY] my (concubine/slave who had become one of my wives). Your doing that caused me, your father, to have great shame.
Nangma twi kimang banga phatna najou tapoi, ajeh chu napa lupna jalkhun nasuboh tai.
5 Simeon and Levi, you have both acted like criminals. You use your swords to act violently.
Simeon le Levi sopi khat ahilhone, chule aman chah lhon ho chu galsat na ding bou ahi.
6 I do not want to be with you when you make evil plans [DOU]. I do not want to join you in your meetings, because you killed people when you became very angry, and you (hamstrung/cut the tendons in the legs of) oxen just to (have fun/see them suffer).
Keima lhagao vang amaho lah a jaoda mai hen, chule amaho natoh gon jong jahda ding kanome; ahin amaho alunghan teng ule mihem hinkho ahin suhbei dingu ahi, chule amaho deilah a bongchal ho ahin hellhuh diu ahi.
7 God says, ‘I will (curse/cause bad things to happen to) them for being very angry, for acting very cruelly when they were very furious. I will scatter their descendants [MTY] throughout Israel land.’
Jacob chate ho lah a kahop khen ding keiman Israel sunga amaho chu kathe cheh ding ahitai, alunghan nau sapset ahitai, ajeh chu tijat umtah, alunghan nao jong phalou tah ahi.
8 Judah, your [older and younger] brothers will praise you. They will bow down before you, because you will thoroughly defeat [MTY] your enemies.
Judah nangma nasopi houvin nathang at ui, nangma namel mate angonga na matchah ding, nasopi ho jouse nangma masanga kun cheh diu ahi.
9 Judah is like a young lion [SIM] that has returned to its den satisfied after eating the animals that it has killed. He is like a lion that lies down and stretches out after eating; no one would dare to disturb it [RHQ].
Judah ka chapa hi keipi nou tobang ama chu aneh jou tobang pet ahi, keipi bangin akitaulei, chule keipi nou konba anodoh jou ding gam.
10 There will always be a ruler [MTY] from the descendants of Judah [MTY]. Each one will hold a scepter/staff to show that he has authority as a king. He will do that until the one to whom the scepter belongs comes, the one to whom the nations will bring tribute and show that they will obey him.
Hiche tenggol chu Judah a kona potdoh lou ding ahi, chule dan thempu a kona akeng teni kikah ajong pot doh lou ding Shiloh ahung lhun to kahsea anam miten athu angai jing dingu ahi.
11 The grapevines of Judah’s descendants will produce grapes very abundantly. As a result, they will not object to tying their young donkeys to the grapevines in order that the donkeys can eat the leaves of the grapevines. [Wine will be very plentiful, with the result that] they could wash their cloaks in wine that is as red as blood [MET].
Aman a sangan chu lengpi thei phunga ahen in chule sangan nou chu abah hoipen lengpi bah a ahenin, chule apon ho chu lengpi twiya asop in chule ama von ho chu lengpi twiya asop ngime.
12 Their eyes will be red because of [drinking too much] wine, but their teeth will be very white because of drinking much milk [from the cows].
Amit teni chu lengpi twi sangin asangjon chule ahatu jouse chu bongnoi twi bang phet phut ding ahi.
13 Zebulun, your descendants will live by the seashore where there will be a safe harbor for ships. Their land will extend north as far as Sidon [city].
Zebulun chu twi-khanglen panga cheng ding ahi, chule ama koma chu kongho kinga ding chule agamgi chu Sidon geiya cheng diu ahi.
14 Issachar, your descendants will be like strong donkeys that are lying down on the ground between their loads, [so tired that they cannot get up]!
Issachar vang chu ahile sangan hattah ahi, ama chu hahsat na molni kikah aum ahi.
15 They will see that their resting place is good, and that the land pleases them very much. But they will bend their backs to carry heavy loads and be forced to work for others.
Aman ngahmun khat amudoh in, chule agam nop dan jong chu dei chat um ahi; hijeh chun aman thilpo ding in alengkou adon, namphu in soh dingin akipelut tai.
16 Dan, although your tribe will be small, their leaders will rule their people just like the leaders of other tribes of Israel will rule their people.
Dan vang chu amite ding in lungmon ahin, bolpeh ding Israel te phungkhat hin na ahin to ding ahi.
17 Your descendants will be like snakes at the side of a road, like poisonous snakes lying beside a path. They will strike the heels of horses that pass by, causing the riders to fall backwards [as the horses rear up on their hind legs].”
Dan chu lampi lhanglang a gul tobang ahi, chule lampi a gulse kijam tobang ahin, ama chun sakol keng achuh le achunga toupa akinung le lhah tai.
18 Then Jacob prayed, “Yahweh, I am waiting for you to rescue me [from my enemies].”
Keiman nangma katahsane huhhingna kachan thei na din o ka Pakai.
19 [Then Jacob continued telling his sons what would happen in the future. He said], “Gad, your tribe/descendants will be attacked by a group of bandits, but your tribe/descendants will pursue and attack them [MTY].
Mipihon Gad chunga lam ajot diu ahin achaina aman amaho chunga lam ahin jot ding ahi.
20 Asher, your descendants will eat good-tasting food; they will produce food that is delicious enough for kings to eat.
Asher chu an neh neng ding ahiye, chule aman lengho neh thei ding hoitah le twitah a ahon thei ding ahi.
21 Naphtali, your descendants will be like deer [MET] that are (free to/not tied down and can) run wherever they wish. They will give birth to children who are good-looking like (fawns/baby deer) [MET].
Napthali chu sajuh pi kihen lou tobang ahin, aman thu ngei tah a pao doh ding ahi.
22 Joseph, you will have many descendants [MET]. Their children will be as many as the fruit on a vine near a spring of water, whose branches extend over a wall.
Joseph hi lengpi thingga phatah tobang ahi, chule twinah phung thingbah ga phatah ahi, abah hon jong bang akhokhel gamtai.
23 Their enemies will attack them fiercely, and shoot at them with bows and arrows and pursue them.
Thalpi kapthem hon avetda lheh un, amapa akap un chule abol genthei lheh jeng uve.
24 But they will hold their bows steady and their arms will remain strong, because of the power [MTY] of my mighty God, because of Yahweh who guides and provides for me [MET] like a shepherd guides and provides for his sheep. The people of Israel will [ask Yahweh to protect them], [like people hide under] a huge [overhanging] to be protected.
Ahin amapa thalpi alhou lheh in suhset bun aum poi. Chule abanthahat na jong aki peh ben, Jacob Pathen thahatna chun aumpi jing'e; chule kelngoi chingpa chu Israel te hongpi a pang ahi.
25 God, the one whom I worship, will help your descendants. God Almighty will bless them by sending them rain from the sky and by giving them water from deep/far below the ground. He will give them many cattle and children [MET] (OR, and their cattle will have many offspring).
Chule na panpi Pathen in na kithopi jeh in hatchung nung pen phatthei naboh mai hen, chujong leh van chunga phattheina tin changmai jin, chule leithol noilanga twi dim bang in phatthei na chang jing in, chule noitwi akon, naobu akon phatthei na jouse chang tan.
26 The blessings that I want God to give you are great ones. They are greater than the blessings that come from the eternal mountains, greater than the ones that come from the everlasting hills. Joseph, I pray that these blessings will (be given to you/come upon your head), because you are the leader of your [older] brothers [and younger brother].
Napan phatthei na bohna ho chu masanga napute phatthei na ho sang in phatthei joh hi maihen, chule molsang pen ho sang in sangpen main. Hiche phatthei na ho jouse hi Joseph chunga umjing tahen, ajeh chu amahi asopite lah a dinga leng cha ahi.
27 Benjamin, your descendants will be like [MET] vicious/fierce wolves: In the morning they will kill their enemies like a wolf devours (its prey/the animals that it has killed), and in the evening they will divide among their warriors the spoils that they seized from their enemies.”
Benjamin chu Sial tobang ahi, ajeh chu jingkah lam le amelmate chu aval lhum jin nilhah lam teng alotup ho chu ahomkhen jenge.
28 Those twelve sons are the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. That is what their father said to them as he blessed them, telling to each one words that were appropriate for him.
Amaho se hi Israel phungsom le phungni ahiuve, hiche thucheng ho hi apan asei peh'u ahi; amaho jouse chu phatthei aboh in chule ki lhahna thu cheng aneiyin, chule amaho jouse khat khat in ama hina cheh in phatthei aboh cheh in ahi.
29 Then Jacob said to his sons, “I will soon die. Bury my body where some of my ancestors are buried, in the cave that is in the field that was bought from Ephron, who belonged to the Heth people-group.
Hichun Jacob in hitin ahil e, amaho se chu keima hi thivah ding kahitai, chule kapute kapate ho lah a jaovah ding kahitai, Ephron Hite gam'a kapute kapate kivui na muna chu kei jong neivui un ati.
30 That field is in the Machpelah area, east of Mamre [town], in Canaan. My grandfather Abraham bought it from Ephron to use as a burial place.
Abraham'in hiche songlhan chu Machpelah loumun Mamre nisolam Canaan gamsunga um ahin, ama lhan mun dinga Hite mipa Ephron henga loumun ana choh doh ahi.
31 That is where they buried him and his wife Sarah. That is where they buried my father Isaac and his wife Rebekah. And that is where I buried my wife Leah.
Hiche muna chun Abraham le Sarah akivui lhon in, chule hiche mun chu Isaac le aloinu Rabekah jong aki vuijin chule keiman jong hilai mun a chu Leah kana vui ahi.
32 That field and the cave in it were bought from the Heth people-group; so that is where I want you to bury me.”
Hiche gam chu phaicham kotong lam chu kapu Abraham'in Hite mipa koma ana choh doh ahi.
33 When Jacob finished giving those instructions to his sons, he lay down on his bed again. Then he died [IDM].
Hichun Jacob chu achapate athu lhah chai in jalkhun chunga akeng teni asep doh in ama ahaitan tai, chuin ama amite to akivui tha tai.
