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.
Jakobi abengaki bana na ye ya mibali mpe alobaki: — Bosangana mpo ete nakoka koyebisa bino makambo oyo ekokomela bino na mikolo oyo ekoya.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob: and hearken to Israel your father.
Bosangana mpe boyoka, bana mibali ya Jakobi! Boyoka oyo tata na bino Isalaele akoloba:
3 Reuben, thou [art] my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellence of dignity, and the excellence of power:
« Ribeni, ozali mwana na ngai ya liboso, makasi na ngai, elembo ya liboso ya makasi na ngai; oleki na lokumu mpe na nguya.
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.
Mobulu lokola mayi, okokende liboso te, pamba te omataki na mbeto ya tata na yo, esika oyo ngai nalalaka, mpe okomisi yango mbindo.
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren: instruments of cruelty [are in], their habitations.
Simeoni mpe Levi bazali bandeko, mipanga na bango ezali bibundeli mpo na kotia mobulu.
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.
Molimo na ngai, kosangana te na mabongisi na bango ya kosala mabe! Lokumu na ngai, kokota te na lisanga na bango! Pamba te na kanda na bango, babomaki bato; mpe na esengo na bango, basepelaki kokata misisa ya makolo ya bangombe ya mibali.
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.
Tika ete kanda na bango elakelama mabe, pamba te ezali makasi! Tika ete kotomboka na bango elakelama mabe, pamba te ezanga mawa! Nakokabola bango na Jakobi mpe nakopanza bango kati na Isalaele.
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.
Yuda, bandeko na yo ya mibali bakokumisa yo, loboko na yo ekozala na kingo ya banguna na yo; bana mibali ya tata na yo bakogumbama liboso na yo.
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?
Yuda, ozali mwana ya nkosi; mwana na ngai ya mobali, owuti na bokila. Agunzami mpe alali lokola nkosi ya mobali; mpe lokola nkosi ya mwasi, nani akomeka kotelemisa ye?
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.
Nzete ya bokonzi ekolongwa te na Yuda, lingenda mpe ekolongwa te kati na makolo na ye, kino tango nkolo na ye akoya, nkolo oyo bikolo nyonso ekotosa.
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:
Akokanga ane na ye na nzete ya vino, mpe mwana ya ane na etape oyo ye akopona; akosukola bilamba na ye na vino; mpe kazaka na ye, na masanga ya vino ya motane.
12 His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
Miso na ye ekozala motane koleka vino, mpe minu na ye ekozala pembe koleka miliki.
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.
Zabuloni akowumela pene ya ebale monene, eteni ya mabele na ye ekozala libongo ya masuwa, mpe mabele na ye ekokende kino na Sidoni.
14 Issachar [is] a strong ass, couching down between two burdens:
Isakari azali ane ya makasi oyo elali kati na mapango mibale.
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.
Amonaki ete bopemi ezali malamu, mpe mokili na ye ezali kitoko; boye mapeka na ye ekomema mikumba mpe abongi mpo na misala ya bowumbu.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dani akokamba bato na ye lokola moko kati na bikolo ya Isalaele.
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.
Dani akozala lokola nyoka na balabala to lokola etupa na nzela, oyo eswaka litindi ya mpunda mpo ete motambolisi na yango akweya.
18 I have waited for thy salvation O LORD.
Oh Yawe, nazali na elikya ete okobikisa ngai!
19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
Gadi, banguna ebele bakobundisa ye, kasi ye mpe akobundisa bango kino kobengana bango.
20 Out of Asher his bread [shall be] fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
Bilei oyo ekobima na mokili ya Aseri ekozala ebele penza; mabele na ye ekobota biloko oyo ebongi mpo na bakonzi.
21 Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
Nefitali azali lokola mboloko ya nsomi, oyo ebotaka bana kitoko.
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
Jozefi azali lokola nzete oyo ebotaka mbuma mingi, nzete oyo ezalaka pembeni ya etima, mpe oyo bitape na yango elekaka bosanda ya mir.
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him:
Banguna batumbolaki ye, babwakelaki ye makonga mpe babundisaki ye;
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:
kasi ye asimbaki kaka makasi tolotolo na ye, mpe maboko na ye etikalaki kolenga te mpo na loboko ya Elombe ya Jakobi, oyo azali Mobateli mpate, Libanga ya Isalaele.
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:
Mpo na Nzambe ya tata na yo, tika ete asungaka yo! mpo na Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, tika ete apambola yo, apambola yo na mapamboli ya Lola, wuta na likolo; na mapamboli ya bozindo, na se; na mapamboli ya mabele mpe ya libumu.
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.
Mapamboli ya tata na yo ezali na motuya koleka mapamboli ya bangomba ya kala, koleka bomengo ya bangomba mike ya kala; tika ete mapamboli nyonso ekita na moto ya Jozefi, ekitela ye oyo atombolami kati na bandeko na ye!
27 Benjamin shall raven [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
Benjame azali lokola mbwa ya zamba; na tongo, apasolaka mosuni na ye; na pokwa, akabolaka bomengo ya bitumba. »
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.
Bango nyonso nde basali bikolo zomi na mibale ya Isalaele; mpe oyo ezali maloba oyo tata na bango alobaki na bango tango apambolaki bango. Apesaki na moko na moko lipamboli oyo ekoki na ye.
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.
Jakobi apesaki bango malako oyo: « Nakomi pene ya kokende kokutana na batata na ngai. Bokunda ngai esika moko na bango, na lilita oyo ezali na elanga ya Efroni, moto ya Iti,
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.
kati na lidusu ya mabanga ya Makipela, pembeni ya Mamire, na mokili ya Kanana, elanga oyo Abrayami asombaki na Efroni, moto ya Iti, lokola lilita.
31 (There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah, )
Ezalaki kuna nde bakundaki Abrayami mpe Sara, mwasi na ye; Izaki mpe Rebeka, mwasi na ye. Ezali kuna nde ngai nakundaki Lea.
32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that [is] in it, [was] from the children of Heth.
Elanga mpe lidusu ya mabanga oyo ezali kati na yango esombamaki epai ya bato ya Iti. »
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.
Tango Jakobi asilisaki kopesa malako epai ya bana na ye, asembolaki makolo na ye na mbeto, akataki motema mpe akendeki kokutana na batata na ye.
