Jenèz 49
1 Epi Jacob te rele fis li yo e te di: “Rasanble nou menm pou m kapab di nou sa k ap rive nou nan jou k ap vini yo.
Then Iaakob called his sonnes, and sayde, Gather your selues together, that I may tell you what shall come to you in the last dayes.
2 Rasanble nou ansanm e tande, fis a Jacob yo. Koute Israël, papa nou.
Gather your selues together, and heare, ye sonnes of Iaakob, and hearken vnto Israel your father.
3 Ruben, se ou ki premye ne mwen an; pouvwa mwen, kòmansman nan gwo fòs mwen, premye nan respè e premye nan fòs.
Reuben mine eldest sonne, thou art my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellencie of dignitie, and the excellencie of power:
4 San kontwòl tankou dlo k ap bouyi, ou p ap genyen premye; akoz ke ou te monte sou kabann papa ou, epi ou te souye li. Li te monte sou kabann mwen.
Thou wast light as water: thou shalt not be excellent, because thou wentest vp to thy fathers bed: then diddest thou defile my bed, thy dignitie is gone.
5 Siméon avèk Lévi se frè yo ye. Nepe pa yo se zouti vyolans.
Simeon and Leui, brethren in euill, the instruments of crueltie are in their habitations.
6 Pa kite nanm mwen antre nan konsèy pa yo; pa kite glwa mwen vin reyini avèk asanble pa yo. Akoz nan kòlè yo, yo te touye moun, e nan volonte egoyis pa yo, yo te koupe blese jarèt bèf.
Into their secret let not my soule come: my glory, be not thou ioyned with their assembly: for in their wrath they slew a man, and in their selfe will they digged downe a wall.
7 Modi se kòlè yo, paske li fewòs; epi vanjans yo, paske li te mechan. Mwen va separe yo nan Jacob, e gaye yo nan Israël.
Cursed be their wrath, for it was fierce, and their rage, for it was cruell: I will deuide them in Iaakob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 Juda, frè ou yo va ba ou lwanj; men ou ap sou kou lènmi ou yo. Fis a papa ou yo va vin bese ba devan ou.
Thou Iudah, thy brethre shall praise thee: thine hande shalbe in the necke of thine enemies: thy fathers sonnes shall bowe downe vnto thee.
9 Juda se jèn pòtre a yon lyon; depi nan manje ou, fis mwen, ou gen tan monte. Li bese kò l, li kouche tankou yon lyon, e tankou yon lyon, se kilès ki gen kouraj pou fè l leve?
Iudah, as a Lions whelpe shalt thou come vp from the spoyle, my sonne. He shall lye downe and couche as a Lion, and as a Lionesse: Who shall stirre him vp?
10 Baton gouvènans p ap janm sòti sou Juda, ni bwa règleman p ap janm antre pye li jis lè Schilo vini, e a li menm va parèt obeyisans a tout nasyon yo.
The scepter shall not depart from Iudah, nor a Lawegiuer from betweene his feete, vntill Shiloh come, and the people shall be gathered vnto him.
11 Li mare jenn bourik li ak pi bèl pye rezen an. Li lave vètman li yo nan diven, ak manto li yo nan san rezen yo.
He shall binde his Asse foale vnto ye vine, and his Asses colte vnto the best vine. hee shall wash his garment in wine, and his cloke in the blood of grapes.
12 Zye li fonse wouj akoz diven an, e dan li blanchi nan lèt la.
His eyes shalbe red with wine, and his teeth white with milke.
13 Zabulon va demere bò lanmè; li va yon pwotèj pou gwo bato yo. Lizyè l va ak Sidon.
Zebulun shall dwell by the sea side, and he shalbe an hauen for shippes: and his border shalbe vnto Zidon.
14 Issacar se yon bourik gwo fòs k ap kouche ba nan mitan makout bèt.
Issachar shalbe a strong asse, couching downe betweene two burdens:
15 Lè li te wè ke plas repo sa a te dous, e tè a te fè l plezi, li te double zepòl li pou pote chaj yo, e li te devni yon esklav pou kòve.
And he shall see that rest is good, and that the land is pleasant, and he shall bow his shoulder to beare, and shalbe subiect vnto tribute.
16 Dan va jije pèp li kon youn nan tribi Israël yo.
Dan shall iudge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan va yon sèpan ki nan wout, yon koulèv avèk kòn nan chemen k ap mòde talon cheval la, pou fè chevalye li tonbe an aryè.
Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder by the path, byting the horse heeles, so that his rider shall fall backward.
18 Paske delivrans ou m ap tann, o SENYÈ.
O Lord, I haue waited for thy saluation.
19 Pou Gad, piyajè yo va piyaje li, men li va piyaje vè talon pa yo.
Gad, an hoste of men shall ouercome him, but he shall ouercome at the last.
20 Pou Aser, manje li va rich, e li va pwodwi bagay ki delika e ki wayal.
Concerning Asher, his bread shalbe fat, and he shall giue pleasures for a king.
21 Nephthali se yon bich ki vin lage. Li donnen bèl pitit.
Naphtali shalbe a hinde let goe, giuing goodly wordes.
22 Joseph se yon branch ki donnen fwi; yon branch avèk fwi toupre yon sous. Branch li yo kouri sou yon miray.
Ioseph shalbe a fruitefull bough, euen a fruitful bough by the well side: the small boughs shall runne vpon the wall.
23 Achè yo te atake avèk rayisman, yo te tire sou li e yo te anmède li;
And the archers grieued him, and shotte against him and hated him.
24 men banza li te rete fèm, e bwa li yo te fò; depi nan men Toupwisan Jacob la (depi la se Bèje a, Wòch Israël la),
But his bowe abode strong, and the hands of his armes were strengthened, by the handes of the mighty God of Iaakob, of whom was the feeder appointed, by the stone of Israel,
25 Depi nan Bondye a papa ou ki bay ou soutyen an; Toupwisan an ki beni ou avèk benediksyon anwo nan syèl la, benediksyon ki sòti nan fon ki anba a, e benediksyon tete matris ak vant ki te fè ou a.
Euen by the God of thy father, who shall helpe thee, and by the almightie, who shall blesse thee with heauenly blessinges from aboue, with blessings of the deepe, that lyeth beneath, with blessings of the brestes, and of the wombe.
26 Benediksyon a papa ou yo gen tan fin depase sila a zansèt pa m yo jis rive nan limit kolin ki dire pou tout tan yo. Yo va rete sou tèt a Joseph, sou kouwòn a tèt ki byen distenge pami frè li yo.
The blessings of thy father shalbe stronger then the blessings of mine elders: vnto the ende of the hilles of the worlde they shall be on the head of Ioseph, and on the top of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
27 Benjamin se yon lou voras; nan maten li va devore sa ke li kenbe, e nan aswè, li va divize piyaj la.”
Beniamin shall rauine as a wolfe: in the morning he shall deuoure the pray, and at night he shall deuide the spoyle.
28 Tout sa yo se douz tribi Israël yo, e se sa ke papa yo te di yo lè li te beni yo. Li te beni yo, yo chak avèk yon benediksyon ke yo te merite.
All these are the twelue tribes of Israel, and thus their father spake vnto them, and blessed them: euery one of them blessed hee with a seuerall blessing.
29 Konsa, li te bay yo chaj, e li te di yo: “Mwen prèt pou ranmase vè moun mwen yo. Antere mwen avèk zansèt mwen yo nan kav ki nan chan Éphron a, Etyen an,
And he charged them and sayd vnto them, I am ready to be gathered vnto my people: burie mee with my fathers in the caue, that is in the fielde of Ephron the Hittite,
30 nan kav ki nan chan Macpéla a, ki avan Mamré nan peyi Canaan an, ke Abraham te achte ansanm avèk chan nan men Éphron, Etyen an pou yon plas antèman.
In the caue that is in the field of Machpelah besides Mamre in the land of Canaan: which caue Abraham bought with the fielde of Ephron the Hittite for a possession to burie in.
31 “La menm yo te antere Abraham avèk madanm li Sarah, la yo te antere Isaac avèk madanm li Rebecca, e se la mwen te antere Léa;
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife: there they buryed Izhak and Rebekah his wife: and there I buried Leah.
32 chan an avèk kav ki ladann nan, te achte nan men fis a Heth yo.”
The purchase of the fielde and the caue that is therein, was bought of the children of Heth.
33 Lè li te fin chaje fis li yo, li te rale pye li anndan kabann nan, li te respire dènye souf li, e li te vin ranmase vè moun li yo.
Thus Iaakob made an end of giuing charge to his sonnes, and plucked vp his feete into the bed and gaue vp the ghost, and was gathered to his people.
