Genesis 49
1 Ket inayaban ni Jacob dagiti putotna a lallaki ket kinunana, “Aguummongkayo, tapno maibagak kadakayo ti mapasamakto kadakayo iti masakbayan.
Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.
2 Aguummong ken dumngegkayo, dakayo nga annak a lallaki ni Jacob. Denggenyo ni Israel nga amayo.
Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
3 Ruben, sika ti inauna a putotko, ti pigsak ken ti nangrugian ti kinapigsak, naisangsangayan iti kinatan-ok ken naisangsangayan iti kinabileg.
“Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power.
4 Saan a matengngel a kas iti napigsa ti ayusna a danum, saanto a sika ti kangrunaan, gapu ta simmagpatka iti pagiddaan ti amam. Ket rinugitam daytoy; simmagpatka iti pagtugawak.
Boiling over like water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, then defiled it. He went up to my couch.
5 Agkabsat da Simeon ken Levi. Armas ti kinaranggas dagiti kampilanda.
“Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
6 O kararuak, saanka a mapan iti taripnongda; saanka a makiraman kadagiti saritaanda, gapu ta saan a maiparbeng ti kasta iti pusok. Ta gapu iti pungtotda ket nakapatayda kadagiti lallaki. Para iti pakaragsakanda ti panangpilayda kadagiti bulog a baka.
My soul, do not come into their council. My glory, do not be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.
7 Mailunod koma ti pungtotda, ta nakaro unay— ken ti nalaus a pungtotda, ta naulpit daytoy. Bingayekto ida iti Jacob ken iwaraskonto ida iti Israel.
Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 Juda, dayawendakanto dagiti kakabsatmo. Ti imam ket addanto iti tengnged dagiti kabusormo. Agrukobto iti sangoanam dagiti putot ti amam.
“Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father’s sons will bow down before you.
9 Maiyarig ni Juda iti anak ti leon. Anakko, nagsublika manipud kadagiti tinukmaam. Nagrukob isuna, nagkukot a kasla leon, a kasla babai a leon. Adda kadi makaitured a mangriing kenkuana?
Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?
10 Saanto a maisina ti setro manipud kenni Juda, wenno ti sarukod ti mangiturturay manipud iti nagbaetan dagiti sakana, agingga nga umay ti Silo. Agtulnogto dagiti nasion kenkuana.
The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. The obedience of the peoples will be to him.
11 Inggalutna ti urbon a kabalyona iti lanut ti ubas, ken ti urbon nga asnona iti napintas a lanut ti ubas, linabaanna dagiti kawesna iti arak, ken ti pagan-anayna iti dara dagiti ubas.
Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
12 Lumabbaganto dagiti matana a kas iti arak, ken dagiti ngipenna a kas kapuraw ti gatas.
His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.
13 Agnaedto ni Zabulon iti igid ti baybay. Pagsangladanto isuna dagiti barko, ken dumanonto iti Sidon ti keteganna.
“Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.
14 Ni Issacar ket maysa a napigsa nga asno, agid-idda iti baet ti pagapunan dagiti karnero.
“Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags.
15 Makitana ti nasayaat a lugar a paginanaan ken ti nadam-eg a daga. Irukobna ti abagana iti dadagsen ken agbalin nga adipen iti trabaho.
He saw a resting place, that it was good, the land, that it was pleasant. He bows his shoulder to the burden, and becomes a servant doing forced labor.
16 Ukomento ni Dan dagiti tattaona a kas maysa kadagiti tribu ti Israel.
“Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Maiyarigto ni Dan iti uleg nga adda iti igid ti dalan, maysa a nagita nga uleg iti pagnaan a mangkagat kadagiti mukod ti kabalio, a pakaigapuan iti pannakatnag ti nakasakay iti daytoy.
Dan will be a serpent on the trail, an adder in the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that his rider falls backward.
18 Ur-urayek ti panangisalakanmo, Yahweh.
I have waited for your salvation, LORD.
19 Ni Gad—darupento isuna dagiti mangraraut, ngem darupennanto ida kadagiti mukodda.
“A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.
20 Nabaknangto iti taraon ni Aser, ket mangipaayto isuna kadagiti taraon a maipaay iti ari.
“Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.
21 Ugsa a siwawaya iti kaiyarigan ni Neftali; maaddaanto isuna kadagiti napipintas nga annak.
“Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.
22 Nabunga a sanga iti kaiyarigan ni Jose, nabunga a sanga nga asideg iti ubbog, a kimmalay-at iti pader dagiti sangana.
“Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.
23 Darupento isuna dagiti pumapana ket panaendanto ken riribukenda isuna.
The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:
24 Ngem agtalinaedto a nalagda ti bai ti panana ken nabilegto dagiti imana gapu kadagiti ima ti Mannakabalin a Dios ni Jacob, gapu iti nagan ti Agpaspastor, ti Bato ti Israel.
But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),
25 Gapu iti Dios ti Amam, a tumulongto kenka, ken gapu iti Mannakabalin a Dios, a mangbendisionto kenka kadagiti bendision iti tangatang, kadagiti bendision ti danum nga aggapu iti uneg ti daga, kadagiti bendision dagiti barukong ken aanakan.
even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
26 Dagiti bendision ti amam ket dakdakkelto ngem dagiti nagkakauna a banbantay wenno kadagiti makaay-ayo a banbanag kadagiti agnanayon a turturod. Addanto dagitoy iti ulo ni Jose, dagiti bendision a mangkorona iti ulo ti nagbalin a prinsipe a nangidaulo kadagiti kakabsatna a lallaki.
The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.
27 Ni Benjamin ket maysa a mabisin a lobo. Iti agsapa, alun-onenna ti natiliwna, ken iti rabii, bingayenna ti nasamsamda.”
“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”
28 Dagitoy dagiti sangapulo ket dua a tribu ti Israel. Kastoy ti imbaga ti amada kadakuada idi binendisionanna ida. Binendisionanna ti tunggal maysa iti maitutop a bendision.
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them, and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his own blessing.
29 Kalpasanna, binilinna ida a kinunana kadakuada, “Dandanin ti ipupusayko. Itabondak iti nakaitaneman dagiti kapuonak iti rukib nga adda idiay talon ni Efron a Heteo,
He instructed them, and said to them, “I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30 iti rukib nga adda iti talon idiay Macpela, nga asideg iti Mamre iti daga ti Canaan, ti talon a ginatang ni Abraham a mausar a pagitaneman manipud kenni Efron a Heteo.
in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as a burial place.
31 Intabonda sadiay ni Abraham ken ni Sara nga asawana; intabonda sadiay ni Isaac ken ni Rebeca nga asawana; ken intabonko sadiay ni Lea.
There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:
32 Ti talon ken ti rukib nga adda idiay ket nagatang manipud kadagiti tattao a Heteo.
the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”
33 Idi nalpasen ni Jacob dagitoy a bilbilinna kadagiti putotna a lallaki, inyunnatna dagiti sakana iti pagiddaan ket inyangesna ti maudi nga angesna, ket pimmusayen.
When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.
