Genesis 49
1 Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.
Eka Jakobo noluongo yawuote mowachonegi niya, “Biuru machiegni mondo anyisu gima biro timorenu e ndalo mabiro.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
“Un yawuot Jakobo chokreuru buta kendo uchik itu; winjuru Israel wuonu.
3 “Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power.
“Reuben, in e wuoda makayo, kendo in e tekona kendo in e ranyisi mokwongo mar tekra, bende in giluor mangʼeny kod teko mangʼeny.
4 Boiling over like water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, then defiled it. He went up to my couch.
Ijamuomri ka pi aora, to ok inibed gi duongʼ, nikech isedonjori, gi kitanda wuonu ma ichido.
5 “Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
“Simeon gi Lawi gin owete, gisetimo timbe mag lweny gi liganglagi.
6 My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.
Ok nariwra kodgi e buchegi, ok nariwra kodgi e chokruogegi, nikech ka mirima omakogi to ginego ji kendo gingʼado odond dhok sa asaya ka gihero.
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.
Okwongʼ mirimbgi nikech en mirima mager kendo makwiny. Anakegi e kind joka Jakobo kendo akegi e piny Israel duto.
8 “Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father’s sons will bow down before you.
“Juda, oweteni biro paki; bende inimak wasiki gi ngʼutgi, kendo oweteni biro kuloreni.
9 Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?
Yaye Juda nyathina, ichalo nyathi sibuor, modwogo koa dwar. Obuto ka sibuor madhako monindo piny, maonge ngʼama nyalo chiewo.
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. The obedience of the peoples will be to him.
Ludh duongʼ ok noa e lwet Juda kata odunga mar teko ok noa e tiende, nyaka wuon loch ma biro rito ogendini duto chopi kendo luor mar ogendini nobed kuome.
11 Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
Obiro tweyo pundane e kor mzabibu, enotue nyathi pundane e mzabibu moyier; kendo obiro luoko lepe gi divai makwar.
12 His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.
Wangʼe nobed makwar moloyo divai kendo lake nobed matar ka chak.
13 “Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.
“Zebulun nodag e dho nam kama yiedhi gowe, kendo tongʼ mare nodhi nyaka Sidon.
14 “Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags.
“Isakar en punda maratego ma nindo piny e dier misikene.
15 He saw a resting place, that it was good, the land, that it was pleasant. He bows his shoulder to the burden, and becomes a servant doing forced labor.
Kane oneno kaka dalane ber, kendo kaka pinyno ber, noyie tingʼo misigo modoko misumba matiyo tich matek.
16 “Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
“Dan nobed jangʼad bura ne joge mana kaka achiel kuom oganda Israel.
17 Dan will be a serpent on the trail, an adder in the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that his rider falls backward.
Dan nobed ka thuol man e dir yo, thuol man-gi kwiri mager e yo, ma kayo ombongʼ Faras mondo ngʼama oidhe ochwanyre magore piny gi kangʼeye.
18 I have waited for your salvation, Yahweh.
“Aserito warruok yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
19 “A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.
“Gad to nomonj gi jomecho, to noriembgi kolawogi matek.
20 “Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.
“Asher nobed gi chiemo mamit; nobed gi chiemo moromo ruoth chamo.
21 “Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.
“Naftali to en mwanda mogony, ma nywolo nyithindo mabeyo.
22 “Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.
“Josef en mzabibu manyago olemo mopidh e bath thidhna, ma bedene ogawore e kor ot.
23 The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:
Jodir asere nolawe matek kokecho, ne gibaye gi asere ka igi owangʼ.
24 But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),
Kata kamano, Nyasaye Maratego ma Nyasach Jakobo noturo atungegi, kendo Jakwath, ma Lwanda mar Israel, nochodo leche mag ogich bedegi.
25 even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
Nyasach wuonuno ma en Nyasaye Maratego, mondo ogwedhi gi gweth mag polo gi gweth mag nyak mag lowo, gi gweth mag nyithindo.
26 The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.
Gweth mag wuoro dongo moloyo gweth mag gode madongo machon, kendo moloyo gik mabeyo duto mag gode mosiko. Gwethgi mondo obi ne Josef, ngʼat mane opog gi jowetene.
27 “Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”
“Benjamin en ondiek ma kech kayo; gima osenego ochamo gokinyi, kendo godhiambo okidho matindo tindo gima osemako.”
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them, and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his own blessing.
Magi e dhout Israel apar gariyo duto kendo mae gima ne wuon-gi owachonegi kane ogwedhogi, ka omiyo moro ka moro gweth moromore kode.
29 He instructed 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,
Eka Jakobo nochiko yawuote kowachonegi niya, “An koro achiegni tho mondo adhi ariwra gi jowetena, yikauru but kwerena e rogo man e puoth Efron ja-Hiti.
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 from Ephron the Hittite as a burial place.
Rogo man e puodho man Makpela, machiegni gi Mamre e piny Kanaan, ema ne Ibrahim ongʼiewo kaka kar yiko kaachiel gi puodhono duto koa kuom Efron ja-Hiti.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:
Kanyo ema ne oike Ibrahim kod Sara chiege, kanyo bende ema ne oikie Isaka kod Rebeka chiege, kendo kanyo ema ne aikoe Lea.
32 the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”
Puodhono kod rogo duto mane ni e iye nongʼiew koa kuom jo-Hiti.”
33 When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.
Kane Jakobo osetieko wacho wechegi ni yawuote kamano nodwoko tiende e kitanda, mi chunye nochot kendo noluwo kwerene.
