And Jacob called his sons, and said to them,
2 Mivoria vaho mitsanoña, ry ana’ Iakòbe; tsendreño Israele rae’areo.
Assemble yourselves, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear me, sons of Jacob; hear Israel, hear your father.

Symeon and Levi, brethren, accomplished the injustice of their cutting off.
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,
Let not my soul come into their counsel, and let not mine inward parts contend in their conspiracy, for in their wrath they killed men, and in their passion they houghed a bull.
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 wrath, for it was wilful, and their anger, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

Binding his foal to the vine, and the foal of his ass to the branch [of it], he shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape.
12 Menae’ ty divay o maso’eo, vaho hafotin-dronono ty nife’e.

And let Dan be a serpent in the way, besetting the path, biting the heel of the horse (and the rider shall fall backward),

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 their bow and arrows were mightily consumed, and the sinews of their arms were slackened by the hand of the mighty one of Jacob; thence is he that strengthened Israel from the God of your father;
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.
