7 Cursed [is] their anger, for [it is] fierce, And their wrath, for [it is] sharp; I divide them in Jacob, And I scatter them in Israel.

8 Judah! thou — thy brethren praise thee! Thy hand [is] on the neck of thine enemies, Sons of thy father bow themselves to thee.

9 A lion's whelp [is] Judah, For prey, my son, thou hast gone up; He hath bent, he hath crouched as a lion, And as a lioness; who causeth him to arise?

10 The sceptre turneth not aside from Judah, And a lawgiver from between his feet, Till his Seed come; And his [is] the obedience of peoples.

11 Binding to the vine his ass, And to the choice vine the colt of his ass, He hath washed in wine his clothing, And in the blood of grapes his covering;

13 Zebulun at a haven of the seas doth dwell, And he [is] for a haven of ships; And his side [is] unto Zidon.

16 Dan doth 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 is a serpent by the way, An adder by the path, Which is biting the horse's heels, And its rider falleth backward.

23 And embitter him — yea, they have striven, Yea, hate him do archers;

“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] that which their father hath spoken unto them, and he blesseth them; each according to his blessing he hath blessed them.
