Genesis 49
1 Jacob summoned all his sons, and said to them,
At tinawag ni Jacob ang kaniyang mga anak, at sinabi, Magpipisan kayo, upang maisaysay ko sa inyo ang mangyayari sa inyo sa mga huling araw.
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.
Magpipisan kayo at kayo'y makinig, kayong mga anak ni Jacob; At inyong pakinggan si Israel na inyong ama.
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.
Ruben, ikaw ang aking panganay, ang aking kapangyarihan, at siyang pasimula ng aking kalakasan; Siyang kasakdalan ng kamahalan, at siyang kasakdalan ng kapangyarihan.
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.
Kumukulong parang tubig na umaawas, hindi ka magtataglay ng kasakdalan, Sapagka't, sumampa ka sa higaan ng iyong ama: Hinamak mo nga; sumampa sa aking higaan.
5 Simeon and Levi, you have both acted like criminals. You use your swords to act violently.
Si Simeon at si Levi ay magkapatid; Mga almas na marahas ang kanilang mga tabak.
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).
Oh kaluluwa ko, huwag kang pumasok sa kanilang payo; Sa kanilang kapisanan, ay huwag kang makiisa, kaluwalhatian ko; Sapagka't sa kanilang galit ay pumatay ng tao: At sa kanilang sariling kalooban ay pumutol ng hita ng baka.
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.’
Sumpain ang kanilang galit, sapagka't mabangis; At ang kanilang pagiinit, sapagka't mabagsik. Aking babahagihin sila sa Jacob. At aking pangangalatin sila sa Israel.
8 Judah, your [older and younger] brothers will praise you. They will bow down before you, because you will thoroughly defeat [MTY] your enemies.
Juda, ikaw ay pupurihin ng iyong mga kapatid: Ang iyong kamay ay magpapahinga sa leeg ng iyong mga kaaway: Ang mga anak ng iyong ama ay yuyukod sa harap mo.
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].
Si Juda'y isang anak ng leon, Mula sa panghuhuli, anak ko umahon ka: Siya'y yumuko, siya'y lumugmok na parang leon; At parang isang leong babae; sinong gigising sa kaniya?
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.
Ang setro ay hindi mahihiwalay sa Juda, Ni ang tungkod ng pagkapuno sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga paa, Hanggang sa ang Shiloh ay dumating; At sa kaniya tatalima ang mga bansa.
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].
Naitatali ang kaniyang batang asno sa puno ng ubas. At ang guya ng kaniyang asno sa puno ng piling ubas; Nilabhan niya ang kaniyang suot sa alak, At ang kaniyang damit sa katas ng ubas.
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].
Ang kaniyang mga mata ay mamumula sa alak, At ang kaniyang mga ngipin ay mamumuti sa gatas.
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].
Si Zabulon ay tatahan sa daongan ng dagat: At siya'y magiging daongan ng mga sasakyan; At ang kaniyang hangganan ay magiging hanggang Sidon.
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]!
Si Issachar ay isang malakas na asno, Na lumulugmok sa gitna ng mga tupahan:
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.
At nakakita siya ng dakong pahingahang mabuti, At ng lupang kaayaaya; At kaniyang iniyukod ang kaniyang balikat upang pumasan, At naging aliping mangaatag.
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.
Si Dan ay hahatol sa kaniyang bayan, Gaya ng isa sa angkan ni Israel.
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].”
Si Dan ay magiging ahas sa daan, At ulupong sa landas, Na nangangagat ng mga sakong ng kabayo, Na ano pa't nahuhulog sa likuran ang sakay niyaon.
18 Then Jacob prayed, “Yahweh, I am waiting for you to rescue me [from my enemies].”
Aking hinintay ang iyong pagliligtas, Oh Panginoon.
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].
Si Gad, ay hahabulin ng isang pulutong: Nguni't siya ang hahabol sa kanila.
20 Asher, your descendants will eat good-tasting food; they will produce food that is delicious enough for kings to eat.
Hinggil kay Aser, ay lulusog ang tinapay niya, At gagawa ng masasarap na pagkain.
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].
Si Nephtali ay isang usang babaing kawala: Siya'y nagbabadya ng maririkit na pananalita.
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.
Si Jose ay sangang mabunga, Sangang mabunga na nasa tabi ng bukal; Ang kaniyang mga sanga'y gumagapang sa pader.
23 Their enemies will attack them fiercely, and shoot at them with bows and arrows and pursue them.
Pinamanglaw siya ng mga mamamana, At pinana siya, at inusig siya:
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.
Nguni't ang kaniyang busog ay nanahan sa kalakasan, At pinalakas ang mga bisig ng kaniyang mga kamay, Sa pamamagitan ng mga kamay ng Makapangyarihan ni Jacob, (Na siyang pinagmulan ng pastor, ang bato ng Israel),
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).
Sa pamamagitan nga ng Dios ng iyong ama, na siyang tutulong sa iyo, At sa pamamagitan ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat, na siyang magpapala sa iyo, Ng pagpapala ng langit sa itaas, Pagpapala ng mga kalaliman na nalalagay sa ibaba, Pagpapala ng mga dibdib at ng bahay-bata.
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].
Ang mga basbas ng iyong ama na humigit sa basbas ng aking mga kanunuan Hanggang sa wakas ng mga burol na walang hanggan: Mangapapasa ulo ni Jose, At sa tuktok ng ulo niya na bukod tangi sa kaniyang mga kapatid.
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.”
Si Benjamin ay isang lobo na mangaagaw: Sa kinaumagaha'y kaniyang kakanin ang huli, At sa kinahapunan ay kaniyang babahagihin ang samsam.
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.
Ang lahat ng ito ang labing dalawang angkan ng Israel: at ito ang sinalita ng ama nila sa kanila, at sila'y binasbasan; bawa't isa'y binasbasan ng ayon sa basbas sa kanikaniya,
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.
At kaniyang ipinagbilin sa kanila, at sinabi sa kanila: Ako'y malalakip sa aking bayan: ilibing ninyo ako sa kasamahan ng aking mga magulang sa yungib na nasa parang ni Ephron na Hetheo,
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.
Sa yungib na nasa parang ng Machpela, na nasa tapat ng Mamre, sa lupain ng Canaan, na binili ni Abraham, na kalakip ng parang kay Ephron na Hetheo, na pinakaaring libingan:
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.
Na doon nila inilibing si Abraham at si Sara na kaniyang asawa; na doon nila inilibing si Isaac at si Rebeca na kaniyang asawa; at doon ko inilibing si Lea:
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.”
Sa parang at sa yungib na nandoon na binili sa mga anak ni Heth.
33 When Jacob finished giving those instructions to his sons, he lay down on his bed again. Then he died [IDM].
At nang matapos si Jacob na makapagbilin sa kaniyang mga anak, ay kaniyang itinaas at itinikom ang kaniyang mga paa sa higaan, at nalagot ang hininga, at nalakip sa kaniyang bayan.
