Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called to his sons, and said, Assemble yourselves, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the last days.
Mgbe ahụ, Jekọb kpọkọtara ụmụ ya ndị ikom niile nʼotu sị ha, “Zukọọnụ ka m gwa unu ihe ga-adakwasị unu nʼụbọchị dị nʼihu.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob: and hearken to Israel your father.
“Zukọọnụ nụrụ, ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb nụrụ okwu nna unu Izrel.
3 Reuben, thou [art] my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellence of dignity, and the excellence of power:
“Ruben, ọkpara m ka ị bụ, ume m, ihe ngosi mbụ nke ike m, onye nsọpụrụ kwesiri, onye mbụ nʼịdị ike.
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou [it]; he went up to my couch.
Onye na-agbanwe agbanwe dịka mmiri dị nʼiyi, ị gaghị abụkwa onye mbụ, nʼihi na ị banyere nʼihe ndina nna gị, i dinara nʼihe ndina m, merụọ ya.
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren: instruments of cruelty [are in], their habitations.
“Simiọn na Livayị bụ ụmụnne. Mma agha ha bụ ngwa ihe ike.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; to their assembly, my honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall.
Ka obi m ghara isonye nʼizuzu ha, ka m ghara isonye nʼọgbakọ ha, nʼihi na ha gburu mmadụ nʼoge iwe ha, bipụkwa nkwonkwo ụkwụ ụmụ ehi na-echeghị echiche.
7 Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce: and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
Ihe a bụrụ ọnụ ka iwe ha bụ, nʼihi na ọ dị njọ. Ọnụma ha, ọ jọbigara njọ oke. Aga m ekesa ha nʼetiti ụmụ Jekọb Kpasaa ha nʼetiti ndị Izrel.
8 Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise; thy hand [shall be] on the neck of thy enemies: thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
“Gị, Juda, ụmụnne gị ga-eto gị. Aka gị ga-adị nʼolu ndị iro gị. Ụmụ ndị ikom nna gị ga-akpọ isiala nye gị.
9 Judah [is] a lion's whelp; from the prey, my son, thou hast gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion: who shall rouse him up?
Ị bụ nwa ọdụm, gị, Juda, i si nʼịchụ nta lọta, nwa m. Dịka ọdụm, ọ na-amakpu, na-edina ala, dịka nne ọdụm, onye ga-anwa anwa kpọtee ya?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh shall come: and to him [shall be] the gathering of the people.
Mkpanaka eze agaghị esite nʼebe Juda nọ wezuga onwe ya, maọbụ mkpanaka onyendu esi nʼagbata ụkwụ ya pụọ, tutuu ruo mgbe eze ahụ nwe ya ga-abịa, irube isi nke mba niile ga-abụ nke ya.
11 Binding his foal to the vine, and his ass's colt to the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
Ọ ga-ekenye ịnyịnya ibu ya nʼosisi vaịnị, nʼalaka kachasị mma ka ọ ga-ekenye nwa ịnyịnya ibu ya. Ọ ga-asakwa uwe ya na mmanya. Uwe mwụda ya ka ọ ga-asụkwa nʼọbara mkpụrụ vaịnị.
12 His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
Anya ya ga-acha uhie uhie karịa mmanya vaịnị. Eze ya ga-enwupụkwa ọcha karịa mmiri ara ehi.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he [shall be] for a haven of ships; and his border [shall be] to Zidon.
“Zebụlọn ga-ebi nʼakụkụ osimiri. Ọ ga-abụ ebe izuike nye ụgbọ mmiri. Oke ala ya ga-agbatịpụ ruo Saịdọn.
14 Issachar [is] a strong ass, couching down between two burdens:
“Isaka dị ike dịka ịnyịnya ibu na-amakpu nʼetiti ọgba atụrụ.
15 And he saw that rest [was] good, and the land that [it was] pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant to tribute.
Mgbe ọ hụrụ otu ebe izuike ya si dị mma, hụ otu ala ya si maa mma, ọ ga-ehudata isi ya ibu ibu arụ; were onwe ya nye ịrụ ọrụ ike.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
“Dan ga-eme ka ikpe ziri ezi rute ndị ya aka dịka otu nʼime ebo Izrel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse-heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
Dan ga-adị ka agwọ dị nʼakụkụ okporoụzọ, dịka ajụala dị nʼụzọ ọhịa, nke na-ata ịnyịnya nʼikiri ụkwụ, si otu a mee ka onye na-agba ịnyịnya dalaa azụ.
18 I have waited for thy salvation O LORD.
“O Onyenwe anyị, ana m ele anya nnapụta gị.
19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
“Gad bụ onye usuu ndị o-ji-egbe-aga ga-abịakwasị, ma ọ ga-alụso ha ọgụ, chụọkwa ha ọsọ.
20 Out of Asher his bread [shall be] fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
“Asha ga-esi nʼubi ya wepụta nri gbara abụba, nke na-adị ndị eze mma.
21 Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
“Naftalị dịka nne ele a hapụrụ ahapụ, nke na-amụpụta ụmụ ele mara mma.
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
“Dịka osisi vaịnị a kụrụ nʼakụkụ iyi, nke alaka ya na-awasa rigoro nʼelu mgbidi, na nke na-amị ezi mkpụrụ, otu a ka Josef dị.
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him:
Ndị na-agbata ụta sitere nʼobi ilu lụso ya agha, ha gbara ya àkụ site nʼịkpọ asị.
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob: from thence [is] the shepherd the stone of Israel:
Ma aka o ji jide ụta nke ya adaghị mba, ike agwụghị ogwe aka ya, nʼihi aka Onye dị ike nke Jekọb, nʼihi Onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, Oke Nkume Izrel,
25 [Even] by the God of thy father, who shall help thee, and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
nʼihi Chineke nna gị, onye na-enyere gị aka, nʼihi Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, ka ọ gọzie gị, site na ngọzị nke eluigwe site nʼelu, ngọzị nke osimiri dị nʼokpuru ala, ngọzị nke ara na akpanwa.
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Ngọzị niile nke nna gị, dị ukwu karịa, ngọzị niile nke ugwu ukwu mgbe ochie, karịakwa ngọzị nke ugwu nta mgbe ochie, Ka ngọzị ndị a dị iche dịkwasị nʼisi Josef, dịkwasị nʼegedege ihu Josef, onye bụ onyendu nʼetiti ụmụnne ya.
27 Benjamin shall raven [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
“Benjamin dịka nkịta ọhịa nke na-adọgbu anụ. Nʼụtụtụ, ọ na-eri anụ ọ dọgburu. Nʼanyasị ọ na-ekesakwa ihe o gbutere.”
28 All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this [is it] which their father spoke to them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
Ndị a bụ ebo iri na abụọ dị nʼIzrel. Ihe ndị a bụkwa ihe nna ha gwara ha mgbe ọ gọziri ha, nye onye ọbụla nʼime ha ngọzị nke ruuru ya.
29 And he charged 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 Hittite.
Emesịa, o nyere ha ndụmọdụ sị ha, “Nʼoge na-adịghị anya site ugbu a, aga m anwụ. Unu aghaghị ili m nʼebe e liri nna m ha, nʼala Kenan, nʼime ọgba ahụ dị nʼọhịa Efrọn, onye Het.
30 In the cave that [is] in the field of Machpelah, which [is] before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying-place.
Nʼime ọgba dị nʼọhịa Makipela, nke dị nso na Mamre, nʼala Kenan, ọhịa Ebraham zụtara site nʼaka Efrọn onye Het, maka ili ozu.
31 (There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah, )
Nʼebe ahụ ka e liri Ebraham na Sera nwunye ya. Nʼebe ahụ kwa ka e liri Aịzik na Ribeka nwunye ya. Nʼebe ahụ ka m liri Lịa.
32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that [is] in it, [was] from the children of Heth.
Ebraham nna nna m zụrụ ala ahụ na ọgba dị nʼime ya site nʼaka ụmụ Het.”
33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he drew his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered to his people.
Mgbe Jekọb kwuchara okwu ndụmọdụ ikpeazụ ndị a nye ụmụ ya ndị ikom, ọ chịkọtara ụkwụ ya nʼelu akwa, kuo ume ikpeazụ. A chịkọtara ya na ndị ya.
