Jenèz 49
1 Jakòb fè rele pitit gason l' yo, li di yo: -Sanble non. M'ap fè nou konnen sa ki pral rive nou nan jou k'ap vini yo.
And Iacob called for his sonnes ad sayde: come together that I maye tell you what shall happe you in the last dayes.
2 Sanble, vin koute non, pitit Jakòb yo! vin koute sa Izrayèl, papa nou, pral di nou.
Gather you together and heare ye sonnes of Iacob and herken vnto Israel youre father.
3 Ou menm, Woubenn, premye pitit gason mwen, ou se fòs mwen, premye pitit mwen fè. Nan tout pitit mwen yo, se ou ki gen plis fòs, se ou ki pi gwonèg.
Ruben thou art myne eldest sonne my myghte and the begynnynge of my strength chefe in receauynge and chefe in power.
4 Ou tankou yon larivyè k'ap desann. Men, se pa ou k'ap alatèt, paske ou kouche ak yon madanm papa ou. Ou moute sou kabann mwen, ou fè sa ou pa t' dwe fè.
As vnstable as water wast thou: thou shalt therfore not be the chefest for thou wenst vp vpo thy fathers bedd and than defyledest thou my couche with goynge vppe.
5 Simeyon ak Levi se menm moun, se pwason kraze nan bouyon! Yo sèvi ak zam yo pou fè mechanste.
The brethern Simeon and Leui weked instrumentes are their wepos.
6 Mwen p'ap patisipe nan konplo yo. Mwen p'ap la avèk yo nan reyinyon yo. Paske lè yo ankòlè, yo touye moun. Yo koupe jarèt towo bèf pou dan ri.
In to their secrettes come not my soule and vnto their congregation be my honoure not coupled: for in their wrath they slewe a man and in their selfewill they houghed an oxe.
7 Madichon pou yo lè yo move paske yo san manman! M'ap fè yo rete toupatou nan peyi Jakòb la. M'ap gaye yo nan tout peyi Izrayèl la.
Cursed be their wrath for it was stronge and their fearsnes for it was cruell. I will therfore deuyde them in Iacob and scater them in Israel.
8 Ou menm, Jida, frè ou yo ap fè lwanj ou. W'ap kenbe lènmi ou yo dèyè kou. Pitit papa ou yo ap bese tèt devan ou.
Iuda thy brethern shall prayse the and thine hande shalbe in the necke of thyne enimies and thy fathers childern shall stoupe vnto the.
9 Jida, se yon jenn ti lyon. Lè ou fin fè ravaj, pitit mwen, ou tounen tounen ou. Ou kwoupi, ou kache kò ou tankou yon jenn ti lyon, tankou yon fenmèl lyon. Ki moun ki ka deranje ou?
Iuda is a lions whelpe. Fro spoyle my sonne thou art come an hye: he layde him downe and couched himselfe as a lion and as a lionesse. Who dare stere him vp?
10 Yo p'ap ka wete kòmandman an nan men Jida. Non. Baton kòmandman an p'ap soti nan mitan janm li, jouk tan moun tout pèp sou latè pral obeyi a va vini.
The sceptre shall not departe from Iuda nor a ruelar from betwene his legges vntill Silo come vnto whome the people shall herken.
11 L'ap mare ti bourik li a nan yon pye rezen, l'ap mare pitit manman bourik li a nan pi bon pye rezen an. L'ap lave rad li nan diven, l'ap lave varèz li nan diven wouj kou san.
He shall bynde his fole vnto the vine and his asses colt vnto the vyne braunche ad shall wash his garment in wyne and his mantell in the bloud of grapes
12 Je l' wouj ak diven. Dan l' blan ak lèt.
his eyes are roudier than wyne ad his teeth whitter then mylke.
13 Zabilon pral rete bò lanmè. Batiman yo va jwenn bon pò sou rivaj li yo. Limit peyi l' la ap rive jouk Sidon.
Zabulon shall dwell in the hauen of the see and in the porte of shippes and shall reache vnto Sidon.
14 Isaka, se yon bon bourik chay. Li kouche nan mitan de bò sakpay.
Isachar is a stronge asse he couched him doune betwene. ij. borders
15 Li wè jan kote li poze kò l' la nan gou li, li wè jan peyi a bèl. Li pare do l' pou l' pote chay li. Li tounen esklav pou l' travay di.
and sawe that rest was good and the lande that it was pleasant and bowed his shulder to beare and became a servaunte vnto trybute.
16 Dann ap yon chèf pou pèp li, tankou yon branch nan fanmi Izrayèl.
Dan shall iudge his people as one of the trybes of Israel.
17 Dann ap tankou yon sèpan bò gran chemen an, yon sèpan mechan sou bò wout la. L'ap mòde chwal yo nan talon pou l' fè kavalye yo tonbe sou tèt.
Dan shalbe a serpent in the waye and an edder in the path and byte the horse heles so yt his ryder shall fall backwarde,
18 O Seyè, m'ap tann ou vin sove mwen!
After thy sauynge loke I LORde.
19 Ou menm, Gad, yon bann vòlò ap vin tonbe sou ou. Men, w'ap kouri dèyè yo, se ou k'ap mete men sou yo.
Gad men of warre shall invade him. And he shall turne them to flyght.
20 Peyi Asè a ap bay bon manje k'ap bay fòs. L'ap donnen manje ki gou nan bouch wa yo.
Off Asser cometh fatt breed and he shall geue pleasures for a kynge.
21 Neftali, se yon fenmèl kabrit ki lage. L'ap fè bèl ti pitit.
Nepthali is a swyft hynde ad geueth goodly wordes.
22 Jozèf se boujon yon pye rezen ki konn donnen, li soti nan yon pye rezen bò sous dlo ki donnen byen. Branch li yo moute sou tout miray la.
That florishynge childe Ioseph that florishing childe and goodly vn to the eye: the doughters come forth to bere ruele.
23 Y'ap chache l' kont, y'ap voye wòch sou li. Moun k'ap voye flèch yo tounen yon pèsekisyon pou li.
The shoters haue envyed him and chyde with him ad hated him
24 Men, banza pa li a rete fèm, ponyèt li pa febli, gremesi pouvwa Bondye Jakòb la, Bondye ki gadò pèp Izrayèl la. Se li ki tout pwoteksyon yo.
and yet his bowe bode fast and his armes and his handes were stronge by the handes of the myghtye God of Iacob: out of him shall come an herde ma a stone in Israel.
25 Sa soti nan Bondye papa ou la k'ap ede ou, nan Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a k'ap beni ou avèk benediksyon lapli ki soti anwo nan syèl la, avèk benediksyon sous dlo k'ap soti anba tè a, avèk benediksyon ki soti nan tete ak nan vant manman.
Thi fathers God shall helpe the and the almightie shall blesse the with blessinges from heaven aboue and with blessinges of the water that lieth vnder and with blessinges of the brestes and of the wombe.
26 Benediksyon papa ou yo pi plis pase benediksyon mòn ki la pou tout tan yo. Se pou benediksyon sa yo tonbe sou tèt Jozèf, sou tèt moun Bondye te chwazi nan mitan tout frè l' yo.
The blessinges of thy father were stronge: euen as the blessinges of my elders after the desyre of the hiest in the worlde and these blessinges shall fall on the head of Ioseph and on the toppe of the head of him yt was separat from his brethern.
27 Benjamen, se yon bèt nan bwa devoran. Nan maten, li manje bèt li kenbe a. Nan aswè, l'ap separe toujou sa l' te pran yo.
Ben Iamin is a raueshynge wolfe. In the mornynge be shall deuoure his praye ad at nyghte he shall deuyde his spoyle.
28 Men douz branch fanmi Izrayèl yo. Men sa papa yo te di yo. Li beni yo, li bay chak moun benediksyon pa yo.
All these are the. xij. tribes of Israel and this is that which their father spake vnto them whe he blessed them euery man with a severall blessinge.
29 Apre sa, Jakòb ba yo lòd sa a: -Mwen menm, mwen pral jwenn fanmi m' yo ki mouri deja. Antere m' menm kote ak zansèt mwen yo nan twou wòch ki nan jaden Efwon, moun Et la,
And he charged them and sayde vnto them. I shall be put vnto my people: se that ye burye me with my fathers in the caue that is in the felde of Ephron the Hethyte
30 nan twou wòch ki nan jaden Makpela a, anfas Manmre, nan peyi Kanaran. Se Abraram ki te achte twou wòch sa a ak tout jaden an nan men Efwon, moun Et la, pou sèvi l' simityè.
in the double caue that is in the felde before Mamre in the lande of Canaan. Which felde Abraham boughte of Ephron the Hethite for a possessio to burye in.
31 Se la yo te antere Abraram ak Sara, madanm li. Se la yo te antere Izarak ak Rebeka, madanm li. Se la tout mwen te antere Leya.
There they buryed Abraha and Sara his wyfe there they buryed Isaac and Rebecca his wyfe. And there I buried Lea:
32 Se nan men mesye Et yo nou te achte jaden an ak tout twou wòch ki sou li a.
which felde and the caue that is therin was bought of the childern of Heth.
33 Lè Jakòb fin pale konsa ak pitit gason l' yo, li lonje kò l' sou kabann lan, li mouri, li al jwenn fanmi li yo ki te mouri deja.
When Iacob had commaunded all that he wold vnto his sonnes be plucked vp his fete apon the bedd and dyed and was put vnto his people.
