Genesisy 49
1 Ary Jakoba namory ny zananilahy ka nanao hoe: Mivoria ianareo, mba hanambarako aminareo izay ho tonga aminareo any am-parany.
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 Miangòna, ka mandrenesa, ry zanakalahin’ i Jakoba, eny, mihainoa an’ Isiraely rainareo:
Gather your selues together, and heare, ye sonnes of Iaakob, and hearken vnto Israel your father.
3 Ry ROBENA, lahimatoako ianao, heriko sy voalohan’ ny tanjako, manan-tombom-pisandratana, manan-tombon-kery.
Reuben mine eldest sonne, thou art my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellencie of dignitie, and the excellencie of power:
4 Mandroadroatra toy ny rano ianao ka tsy hanan-tombo, fa niakatra tamin’ ny fandrian’ ny rainao ianao, tamin’ izany no nandotoanao azy. Endrey, ny farafarako lahy, ka dia niakarany!
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 SIMEONA sy LEVY dia mpirahalahy, fiadia-mandoza ny sabany;
Simeon and Leui, brethren in euill, the instruments of crueltie are in their habitations.
6 Aza mankeo amin’ izay iokoany, ry foko, ary aza miray amin’ ny fiangonany, ry fanahiko; fa tamin’ ny fahatezerany no namonoany olona, ary tamin’ ny fahasahisahiany no nanatraingoany omby.
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 Ho voaozona anie ny fahatezerany, fa nasiaka izany, ary ny fahavinirany, fa loza izany; hampihahakahaka azy eny amin’ i Jakoba aho, ary hanely azy eny amin’ Isiraely.
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 Ry JODA, hoderain’ ny rahalahinao ianao, ny tananao ho ao amin’ ny vozon’ ny fahavalonao; hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny zanaky ny rainao.
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 Zana-diona, Joda, avy niremby ianao, anaka; mamitsaka, mandry toy ny liona izy, ary toy ny liom-bavy, ka iza no hanaitra azy!
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 Ny tehim-panjakana tsy hiala amin’ i Joda, na ny tehina fanapahana eo anelanelan’ ny tongony, mandra-pahatongan’ i Silo, ka hanoa Azy ny firenena.
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 Mamatotra ny borikiny tanora eo amin’ ny tahom-boaloboka izy. Ary ny zanaky ny borikivaviny eo amin’ ny tahom-boaloboka tsara; nanasa ny fitafiany tamin’ ny divay izy, ary ny akanjony tamin’ ny ram-boaloboka.
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 Mangamanga ny masony azon’ ny divay ary fotsy ny nifiny azon’ ny ronono.
His eyes shalbe red with wine, and his teeth white with milke.
13 ZEBOLONA, ao amoron-dranomasina no honenany, dia ao amoron-dranomasina fitodian-tsambo; ary ny sisin-taniny hifanolotra amin’ i Sidona.
Zebulun shall dwell by the sea side, and he shalbe an hauen for shippes: and his border shalbe vnto Zidon.
14 ISAKARA dia boriky henjana, mandry eo anelanelan’ ny vala;
Issachar shalbe a strong asse, couching downe betweene two burdens:
15 Ary hitany fa tsara ny fialan-tsasatra, sady mahafinaritra ny tany; dia nanongilana ny sorony hitondra entana izy ka tonga mpanompo mandoa hetra.
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 DANA hitsara ny olony tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ny firenen’ ny Isiraely.
Dan shall iudge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dana ho menarana ao amoron-dalana, ho bibilava misy tandroka ao an-dalana izy, izay manaikitra ny kitrokelin’ ny soavaly, ka potraka miantsilany ny mpitaingina azy.
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 Ny famonjenao no andrasako, Jehovah ô!
O Lord, I haue waited for thy saluation.
19 GADA, ny manao andiany hamoritra azy; fa izy kosa hamely ny otrika.
Gad, an hoste of men shall ouercome him, but he shall ouercome at the last.
20 ASERA dia avy ao aminy ny matavy fihinany, ary izy no ihavian’ ny hanim-pin’ andriana.
Concerning Asher, his bread shalbe fat, and he shall giue pleasures for a king.
21 NAFTALY dia dieravavy alefa; manao teny mahafinaritra izy.
Naphtali shalbe a hinde let goe, giuing goodly wordes.
22 JOSEFA dia sampana mahavokatra, eny, sampana mahavokatra eo anilan-doharano; ny rantsany mananika mihoatra ny fefy.
Ioseph shalbe a fruitefull bough, euen a fruitful bough by the well side: the small boughs shall runne vpon the wall.
23 Nampahory azy ny mpitifitra, dia nitifitra azy sy nanenjika azy;
And the archers grieued him, and shotte against him and hated him.
24 Kanefa mateza hery ny tsipìkany, ary mailamailaka ny sandrin-tànany, avy amin’ ny tànan’ Ilay Maherin’ i Jakoba, dia avy ao amin’ ny Mpiandry, Izay Vatolampin’ ny Isiraely,
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 Avy amin’ ny Andriamanitry ny rainao, ka Izy hamonjy anao avy amin’ ny Tsitoha, ka Izy hitahy anao: Dia fitahiana avy amin’ ny lanitra any ambony, sy fitahiana avy amin’ ny lalina, izay mamitsaka any ambany, ary fitahiana avy amin’ ny nono sy ny kibo.
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 Ny tso-dranon’ ny rainao dia mihoatra noho ny havoana mandrakizay sy ny zavatra mahafinaritra amin’ ny tendrombohitra fahagola; ho eo an-dohan’ i Josefa izany, dia ho eo an-tampon-dohan’ ilay nalaza tamin’ ny rahalahiny.
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 BENJAMINA dia amboadia mamiravira: Nony maraina homan-dremby izy, nony hariva mizara babo.
Beniamin shall rauine as a wolfe: in the morning he shall deuoure the pray, and at night he shall deuide the spoyle.
28 Ireo rehetra ireo no firenen’ ny Isiraely roa ambin’ ny folo; ary izany no nolazain’ ny rainy taminy sy nitsofany rano azy; samy araka ny tso-drano izay tokony ho azy avy no nitsofany rano azy.
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 Dia nanafatra azy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho efa madiva hangonina ho any amin’ ny razako; aleveno ao amin’ ny razako aho, dia ao anatin’ ny zohy izay any amin’ ny sahan’ i Efrona Hetita,
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 ao anatin’ ny zohy izay any amin’ ny saha Makpela, izay tandrifin’ i Mamre, any amin’ ny tany Kanana, dia ilay novidin’ i Abrahama mbamin’ ny saha tamin’ i Efrona Hetita ho tany fandevenana.
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 Tao no nandevenany an’ i Abrahama sy Saraha vadiny; ary tao koa no nandevenany an’ Isaka sy Rebeka vadiny; ary tao koa no nandevenako an’ i Lea,
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife: there they buryed Izhak and Rebekah his wife: and there I buried Leah.
32 ny saha sy ny zohy ao anatiny izay novidiny tamin’ ny taranak’ i Heta.
The purchase of the fielde and the caue that is therein, was bought of the children of Heth.
33 Ary rehefa vitan’ i Jakoba ny hafatra nataony tamin’ ny zananilahy rehetra, dia navonkiny teo am-parafara ny tongony, dia niala aina izy ka voangona any amin’ ny razany.
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.
