Genesisy 49
1 Le kinanji’ Iakòbe o ana’eo, vaho nanao ty hoe, Miropaha amako etoy, ho talilieko ze hifetsak’ ama’ areo amo andro añeo.
And Jacob called to his sons, and said, gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days.
2 Mivoria vaho mitsanoña, ry ana’ Iakòbe; tsendreño Israele rae’areo.
Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, and hearken to Israel your father.
3 O Reòbene, tañoloñoloñako irehe, ty haozarako naho ty loha-voan-kafatrarako, mininginingy an-dohàñe, miligiligy am-panjofahañe.
Reuben, thou are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the pre-eminence of dignity, and the pre-eminence of power.
4 mihalingaliñe hoe rano, tsy hionjoñe ka, amy te nanganiha’o ty fandrean-drae’o; nitivàeñe—ie nijoñe an-tihiko eo!
Boiling over as water, thou shall not have the pre-eminence, because thou went up to thy father's bed, then thou defiled it; he went up to my couch.
5 Miharo-foetse t’i Simone naho i Levy; haraom-piaroteñe o fialia’ iareoo.
Simeon and Levi are brothers, weapons of violence are their swords.
6 Ee te tsy hitrao-pikinia’ am’iareo ty troko, Lonike te tsy hirekets’ am-pivori’iareo ty asiko, Fa an-kabosehañe ty namonoa’iareo ondaty, Naho an-tsatri’ iareo ro namirasintake añombe,
O my soul, come not thou into their council, to their assembly, my glory, be not thou united, for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they hocked an ox.
7 Hafàtse ty haboseha’iareo, amy te mandoviake, naho ty fiforoforoa’iareo, amy te manitra! Ho zaraeko am’ Iakòbe ao iereo, vaho hampiparaitaheko e Israele ao.
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 O Iehodà, mandrenge azo o rahalahi’oo; An-trehon-drafelahi’o ty fità’o; Milokoloko ama’o o ana-dahin-drae’oo.
Judah, thy brothers shall praise thee. Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies. Thy father's sons shall bow down before thee.
9 Ana-diona t’Iehodà; Nitsàtsa irehe le nitroatse. Mitsakononoke eo re, mangolotoke hoe liona, hoe liona-vave, ia ty hampitsekak’ aze?
Judah is a lion's whelp. From the prey, my son, thou have gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him up?
10 Tsy hipitsok’ am’ Iehodà ty kobain-drazañe, ndra ty fitoñom-panjaka añivo’ o fandia’eo, ampara’ ty fitotsaha’ i Talè’ey vaho ie ty hivohora’ o kilakila’ndatio.
The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs, and to him shall the obedience of the peoples be.
11 Vahora’e am-bahe ty borìke’e tarabao, naho ty ana-borìke’e am-bahe miloeloe, le sinasa’e an-divay o siki’eo, naho o saro’eo an-diom-balobok’ ao;
Binding his foal to the vine, and his donkey's colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, and his vesture in the blood of grapes.
12 Menae’ ty divay o maso’eo, vaho hafotin-dronono ty nife’e.
His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13 Hitoetse añolon-driake t’i Zebolone ho fitolian-dakañe, hiefetse amy Tsidòne añe.
Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea, and he shall be for a haven of ships. And his border shall be upon Sidon.
14 Borìke maozatse t’Isakare miondrek’ añivon-kilankañe roe,
Issachar is a strong donkey, couching down between the sheepfolds.
15 Naheo’e te soa i fitofàñey naho te naindoñindoñe i taney, aa le nabokoboko’e o soro’eo hinday vaho ninjare nitoroñe haba.

Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Ho mereñe an-dalañe eo t’i Dane, menarà mandiñe an-dalan-tsileke eo, Mpihehetse tomin-tsovala Hampitafatsilañelañe i piningi’ey.
Dan shall be a serpent in the way, an adder in the path, that bites the horse's heels, so that his rider falls backward.

I have waited for thy salvation, O Jehovah.
19 Haname i Gade ty fifañosoñañe, Fa hihoridaña’e an-tomi’e.

Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a fountain, his branches run over the wall.
23 Nampioje aze an-kafairañe o mpitàm-paleo; Hiniriri’iareo ana-pale fa nalaiñe aze.
The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and persecute him,
24 Fe nitan-kaozarañe i fale’ey vaho nampigañe’ o fitàn-Tsitongerè’ Iakòbeo, o siram-pità’eo, Boak’ ao ty Mpiarake, i Lamilami’ Israeley,
but his bow abode in strength. And 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 hirik’ aman’ Añaharen-drae’o mpañimb’azoy, naho amy El-Sadai mpitahy azo, amo fitahia’ i andikerañe amboneio, amo fitahia’ i laleke mandre ambane aoio, amo fitahiam-patroa naho hoviñeo.
even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee, and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that couches beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
26 Maozatse te ami’ty tata’ o vohitse tsy modoo o tatan-drae’oo, Pak’ añ’efe’ o haboañe nainai’eo ty ho an-kevo’ Iosefe, naho añambone’ i naambake amo rahalahi’eoy
The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my forefathers to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.

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

And he ordered 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,

And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the spirit, and was gathered to his people.
