Genesis 49
1 And Jacob calleth unto his sons and saith, 'Be gathered together, and I declare to you that which doth happen with you in the latter end of the 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 'Be assembled, and hear, sons of Jacob, And hearken unto Israel your father.
Bosangana mpe boyoka, bana mibali ya Jakobi! Boyoka oyo tata na bino Isalaele akoloba:
3 Reuben! my first-born thou, My power, and beginning of my strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of strength;
« 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 art not abundant; For thou hast gone up thy father's bed; Then thou hast polluted: My couch he went up!
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 violence — their espousals!
Simeoni mpe Levi bazali bandeko, mipanga na bango ezali bibundeli mpo na kotia mobulu.
6 Into their secret, come not, O my soul! Unto their assembly be not united, O mine honour; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will eradicated a prince.
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 [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.
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 — thy brethren praise thee! Thy hand [is] on the neck of thine enemies, Sons of thy father bow themselves to 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 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?
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 sceptre turneth not aside from Judah, And a lawgiver from between his feet, Till his Seed come; And his [is] the obedience of peoples.
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 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;
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 Red [are] eyes with wine, And white [are] teeth with milk!
Miso na ye ekozala motane koleka vino, mpe minu na ye ekozala pembe koleka miliki.
13 Zebulun at a haven of the seas doth dwell, And he [is] for a haven of ships; And his side [is] unto 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 Issacher [is] a strong ass, Crouching between the two folds;
Isakari azali ane ya makasi oyo elali kati na mapango mibale.
15 And he seeth rest that [it is] good, And the land that [it is] pleasant, And he inclineth his shoulder to bear, And is to tribute a servant.
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 doth judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel;
Dani akokamba bato na ye lokola moko kati na bikolo ya Isalaele.
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.
Dani akozala lokola nyoka na balabala to lokola etupa na nzela, oyo eswaka litindi ya mpunda mpo ete motambolisi na yango akweya.
18 For Thy salvation I have waited, Jehovah!
Oh Yawe, nazali na elikya ete okobikisa ngai!
19 Gad! a troop assaulteth him, But he assaulteth last.
Gadi, banguna ebele bakobundisa ye, kasi ye mpe akobundisa bango kino kobengana bango.
20 Out of Asher his bread [is] fat; And he giveth dainties of a king.
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 sent away, Who is giving beauteous young ones.
Nefitali azali lokola mboloko ya nsomi, oyo ebotaka bana kitoko.
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain, Daughters step 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 And embitter him — yea, they have striven, Yea, hate him do archers;
Banguna batumbolaki ye, babwakelaki ye makonga mpe babundisaki ye;
24 And his bow abideth in strength, And strengthened are the arms of his hands By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, Whence is a shepherd, a son 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 By the God of thy father who helpeth thee, And the Mighty One who blesseth thee, Blessings of the heavens from above, Blessings of the deep lying under, Blessings of breasts and 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 Thy father's blessings have been mighty Above the blessings of my progenitors, Unto the limit of the heights age-during They are for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of the one 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! a wolf teareth; In the morning he eateth prey, And at evening he apportioneth 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] that which their father hath spoken unto them, and he blesseth them; each according to his blessing he hath 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 commandeth them, and saith unto them, 'I am being gathered unto my people; bury me by my fathers, at the cave which [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 which [is] in the field of Machpelah, which [is] on the front of Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from 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 which [is] in it, [is] from Sons of Heth.'
Elanga mpe lidusu ya mabanga oyo ezali kati na yango esombamaki epai ya bato ya Iti. »
33 And Jacob finisheth commanding his sons, and gathereth up his feet unto the bed, and expireth, and is gathered unto 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.
