Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father.
3 “Ruben, kai ne ɗan farina, ƙarfina, alamar farko ta ƙarfina, mafi matsayi, kuma mafi iko.
Reuben, thou art my firstborn, My might, and the firstfruits of my vigour: Excellency of dignity, and excellency of strength.
4 Mai tumbatsa kamar ruwa, amma ba za ka ƙara zama mai daraja ba, gama ka hau gadon mahaifinka ka hau kujerata, ka kuma ƙazantar da shi.
Impetuous as the waters, thou shalt have no pre-eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father's couch: Then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to my bed.
5 “Simeyon da Lawi’yan’uwa ne, takubansu makamai ne na tā da hankali.
Simeon and Levi are brethren: Instruments of violence their swords.
6 Ba zan shiga shawararsu ba, ba zan shiga taronsu ba, gama sun kashe maza cikin fushinsu cikin ganin dama suka kashe bijimai.
My soul, come not into their council; Mine honour, be not united with their assembly; For in their anger they slew men, And in their wantonness houghed oxen.
7 La’ananne ne fushinsu, mai tsanani ne ƙwarai, hasalarsu kuwa, muguwa ce ƙwarai! Zan warwatsa su cikin Yaƙub in kuma daidaita su cikin Isra’ila.
Cursed be their anger, for it [was] violent; And their rage, for it [was] cruel! I will divide them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.

Judah — [as to] thee, thy brethren will praise thee; Thy hand will be upon the neck of thine enemies; Thy father's children will bow down to thee.
9 Kai ɗan zaki ne, ya Yahuda, ka dawo daga farauta, ɗana. Kamar zaki, yakan kwanta a miƙe, kamar zakanya, wa yake da ƙarfin halin tashe shi?
Judah is a young lion; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stoopeth, he layeth himself down as a lion, And as a lioness: who will rouse him up?
10 Kursiyi ba zai tashi daga Yahuda ba, ba kuwa sandan mulki daga tsakani ƙafafunsa ba, sai ya zo ga wanda yake mai shi. Biyayyar al’umma kuwa tasa ce.
The sceptre will not depart from Judah, Nor the lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh come, And to him will be the obedience of peoples.
11 Zai daure jakinsa a kuringa, aholakinsa a rassa mafi kyau; zai wanke tufafinsa cikin ruwan inabi rigunansa cikin inabi ja wur kamar jini.
He bindeth his foal to the vine, And his ass's colt to the choice vine; He washeth his dress in wine, And his garment in the blood of grapes.
12 Idanunsa za su duhunce fiye da ruwan inabi, haƙorarsa farare kamar madara.
The eyes are red with wine, And the teeth [are] white with milk.

Issachar is a bony ass, Crouching down between two hurdles.

Dan will judge his people, As another of the tribes of Israel.

The archers have provoked him, And shot at, and hated him;
24 Amma bakansa yana nan daram hannuwansa masu ƙarfi ba sa jijjiguwa saboda hannun Maɗaukaki na Yaƙub, saboda Makiyayi, Dutsen Isra’ila,
But his bow abideth firm, And the arms of his hands are supple By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob. From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:
25 saboda Allah na mahaifinka, wanda ya taimake ka, saboda Maɗaukaki, wanda yake albarkace ka da albarkar sama da take bisa albarkun zurfafa da suke ƙarƙashin ƙasa albarkun mama da kuma mahaifa.
From the God of thy father, and he will help thee; And from the Almighty, and he will bless thee — With blessings of heaven from above, With blessings of the deep that lieth under, With blessings of the breast and of the womb.
26 Albarkun mahaifi suna da girma fiye da albarkun daɗaɗɗun duwatsu fiye da yalwar madawwaman tuddai. Bari dukan waɗannan su zauna a kan Yusuf, a goshin ɗan sarki a cikin’yan’uwansa.
The blessings of thy father surpass the blessings of my ancestors, Unto the bounds of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them; and he blessed them: every one according to his blessing he blessed them.

And he charged them, and said to them, I am gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30 kogon da yake cikin filin Makfela, kusa da Mamre a Kan’ana, wanda Ibrahim ya saya tare da filin, yă zama makabarta daga Efron mutumin Hitti.
in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is opposite to Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought of Ephron the Hittite along with the field for a possession of a sepulchre.
