Genesis 49
1 Ket inayaban ni Jacob dagiti putotna a lallaki ket kinunana, “Aguummongkayo, tapno maibagak kadakayo ti mapasamakto kadakayo iti masakbayan.
Then Jacob called for his sons and said, “Gather around so that I can tell you what 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.
Come together and listen, O sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.
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 honor, 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.
Uncontrolled as the waters, you will no longer excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, onto my couch, and defiled it.
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.
May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For they kill men in their anger, and hamstring oxen on a whim.
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 is strong, and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will disperse 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 shall praise you. Your hand shall be on the necks of your enemies; your father’s sons shall bow down to 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 young lion— my son, you return from the prey. Like a lion he crouches and lies down; like a lioness, who dares to rouse him?
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 staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes and the allegiance of the nations is his.
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.
He ties his donkey to the vine, his colt to the choicest branch. He washes 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 are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.
13 Agnaedto ni Zabulon iti igid ti baybay. Pagsangladanto isuna dagiti barko, ken dumanonto iti Sidon ti keteganna.
Zebulun shall dwell by the seashore and become a harbor for ships; his border shall extend to 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 sheepfolds.
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 that his resting place was good and that his land was pleasant, so he bent his shoulder to the burden and submitted to labor as a servant.
16 Ukomento ni Dan dagiti tattaona a kas maysa kadagiti tribu ti Israel.
Dan shall provide justice for 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.
He will be a snake by the road, a viper in the path that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider tumbles backward.
18 Ur-urayek ti panangisalakanmo, Yahweh.
I await Your salvation, O LORD.
19 Ni Gad—darupento isuna dagiti mangraraut, ngem darupennanto ida kadagiti mukodda.
Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will attack their heels.
20 Nabaknangto iti taraon ni Aser, ket mangipaayto isuna kadagiti taraon a maipaay iti ari.
Asher’s food will be rich; he shall provide royal delicacies.
21 Ugsa a siwawaya iti kaiyarigan ni Neftali; maaddaanto isuna kadagiti napipintas nga annak.
Naphtali is a doe set free that 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, whose branches scale the wall.
23 Darupento isuna dagiti pumapana ket panaendanto ken riribukenda isuna.
The archers attacked him with bitterness; they aimed at him in hostility.
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.
Yet he steadied his bow, and his strong arms were tempered by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, in the name of the Shepherd, the Rock 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.
by the God of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who blesses you, with blessings of the heavens above, with blessings of the depths below, with blessings of the breasts and 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 surpassed the blessings of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince of 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 devours the prey, in the evening he divides 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.
These are the tribes of Israel, twelve in all, and this was what their father said to them. He blessed them, and he blessed each one with a suitable 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,
Then Jacob instructed them, “I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave 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.
The cave is in the field of Machpelah near Mamre, in the land of Canaan. This is the field Abraham purchased from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.
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 Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried, 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 in it were purchased from the Hittites.”
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 had finished instructing his sons, he pulled his feet into the bed and breathed his last, and he was gathered to his people.
