“Ẹ kó ara yín jọ pọ̀, kí ẹ sì tẹ́tí, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Jakọbu; ẹ fetí sí Israẹli baba yín.
3 Reuben! my first-born thou, My power, and beginning of my strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of strength;
“Reubeni, ìwọ ni àkọ́bí mi, agbára mi, ìpilẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ipá mi, títayọ ní ọlá àti títayọ ní agbára.
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!

5 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren! Instruments of violence — their espousals!
“Simeoni àti Lefi jẹ́ arákùnrin— idà wọn jẹ́ ohun èlò ogun alágbára.
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.

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.

14 Issacher [is] a strong ass, Crouching between the two folds;
“Isakari jẹ́ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ alágbára tí ó dùbúlẹ̀ láàrín agbo àgùntàn.
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.

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.

“Naftali yóò jẹ́ abo àgbọ̀nrín tí a tú sílẹ̀ tí ó ń bí ọmọ dáradára.
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain, Daughters step over the wall;
“Josẹfu jẹ́ àjàrà eléso, àjàrà eléso ní etí odò, tí ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ gun orí odi.
23 And embitter him — yea, they have striven, Yea, hate him do archers;

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.

“Benjamini jẹ́ ìkookò tí ó burú; ní òwúrọ̀ ni ó jẹ ẹran ọdẹ rẹ, ní àṣálẹ́, ó pín ìkógun.”
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.
Gbogbo ìwọ̀nyí ni àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli méjìlá, èyí sì ni ohun tí baba wọn sọ fún wọn nígbà tí ó súre fún wọn, tí ó sì fún ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ní ìbùkún tí ó tọ́ sí i.
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;

33 And Jacob finisheth commanding his sons, and gathereth up his feet unto the bed, and expireth, and is gathered unto his people.
