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 his sons, and said to them: Gather yourselves together that I may tell you the things that shall befall you in the last days.
2 Mivoria vaho mitsanoña, ry ana’ Iakòbe; tsendreño Israele rae’areo.
Gather yourselves together, and hear, O ye sons of Jacob, hearken to Israel your father:
3 O Reòbene, tañoloñoloñako irehe, ty haozarako naho ty loha-voan-kafatrarako, mininginingy an-dohàñe, miligiligy am-panjofahañe.
Ruben, my firstborn, thou art my strength, and the beginning of my sorrow: excelling in gifts, greater in command.
4 mihalingaliñe hoe rano, tsy hionjoñe ka, amy te nanganiha’o ty fandrean-drae’o; nitivàeñe—ie nijoñe an-tihiko eo!
Thou art poured out as water, grow thou not: because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed, and didst defile his couch.
5 Miharo-foetse t’i Simone naho i Levy; haraom-piaroteñe o fialia’ iareoo.
Simeon and Levi brethren: vessels of iniquity, waging war.
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 go into their counsel, nor my glory be in their assembly: because in their fury they slew a man, and in their selfwill they undermined a wall.
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 fury, because it was stubborn: and their wrath because it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and will 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.
Juda, thee shall thy brethren praise: thy hands shall be on the necks of thy enemies: the sons of thy father shall bow down to thee.
9 Ana-diona t’Iehodà; Nitsàtsa irehe le nitroatse. Mitsakononoke eo re, mangolotoke hoe liona, hoe liona-vave, ia ty hampitsekak’ aze?
Juda is a lion’s whelp: to the prey, my son, thou art gone up: resting thou hast couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him?
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 sceptre shall not be taken away from Juda, nor a ruler from his thigh, till he come that is to be sent, and he shall be the expectation of nations.
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;
Tying his foal to the vineyard, and his ass, O my son, to the vine. 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.
His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
13 Hitoetse añolon-driake t’i Zebolone ho fitolian-dakañe, hiefetse amy Tsidòne añe.
Zabulon shall dwell on the sea shore, and in the road of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.
14 Borìke maozatse t’Isakare miondrek’ añivon-kilankañe roe,
Issachar shall be a strong ass lying down between the borders.
15 Naheo’e te soa i fitofàñey naho te naindoñindoñe i taney, aa le nabokoboko’e o soro’eo hinday vaho ninjare nitoroñe haba.
He saw rest that it was good: and the land that it was excellent: and he bowed his shoulder to carry, and became a servant under tribute.
16 Hizaka ondati’eo t’i Dane, Kanao mpiamo foko Israeleo.
Dan shall judge his people like another tribe in Israel.
17 Ho mereñe an-dalañe eo t’i Dane, menarà mandiñe an-dalan-tsileke eo, Mpihehetse tomin-tsovala Hampitafatsilañelañe i piningi’ey.
Let Dan be a snake in the way, a serpent in the path, that biteth the horse’s heels that his rider may fall backward.
18 Mandiñe ty fandrombaha’o raho ry Iehovà.
I will look for thy salvation, O Lord.
19 Haname i Gade ty fifañosoñañe, Fa hihoridaña’e an-tomi’e.
Gad, being girded, shall fight before him: and he himself shall be girded backward.
20 Boak’amy Asere ty mahakama matave, hazotso’e ty hafiriam-panjakay.
Aser, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield dainties to kings.
21 Renem-panaloke nampidadañe t’i Naftaly, mitaroñe razan-tsaontsy.
Nephtali, a hart let loose, and giving words of beauty.
22 Tirin-katae mamoa t’Iosefe, toran-katae miregorego añ’olon-drano manganahana; mamokon-kijoly o tora’eo.
Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and comely to behold; the daughters run to and fro upon the wall.
23 Nampioje aze an-kafairañe o mpitàm-paleo; Hiniriri’iareo ana-pale fa nalaiñe aze.
But they that held darts provoked him, and quarrelled with him, and envied 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,
His bow rested upon the strong, and the bands of his arms and his hands were loosed, by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob: thence he came forth a pastor, 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.
The God of thy father shall be thy helper, and the Almighty shall bless thee with the blessings of heaven above, with the blessings of the deep that lieth beneath, with the 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 are strengthened with the blessings of his fathers: until the desire of the everlasting hills should come; may they be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the Nazarite among his brethren.
27 Farasy romotse t’i Beniamine, maraiñe re mampibotseke ty nitsatsà’e, haleñe re mandiva o kinopa’eo.
Benjamin a ravenous wolf, in the morning shall eat the prey, and in the evening shall divide the spoil.
28 I tsaraeñe rezay ro fifokoa folo-ro’ ambi’ Israele, le i saontsieñey ro nafèn-drae’ iareo t’ie nitata; toe songa nitatae’e an-tata mañeva.
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: these things their father spoke to them, and he blessed every one, with their proper blessings.
29 Le hoe ty nafè’e am’iereo: Fa antitotse te hifanontoñe am’ ondatikoo iraho. Aleveño aman-droaeko an-dakato an-tete’ i Efrone nte-Khete ao
And he charged them, saying: I am now going to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hethite,
30 amy lakato an-tonda’ i Makpelà, aolo’ i Mamrè, an-tane Kanàne añe, vinili’ i Avrahame reketse tonda amy Efrone nte-Khete ho tanen-donake ho azey.
Over against Mambre in the land of Chanaan, which Abraham bought together with the field of Ephron the Hethite for a possession to bury in.
31 Tao ty nandentehañe i Avrahame naho i Sarà vali’e le ty nandentehañe Ietsàke naho i vali’e Ribkae, vaho tao ty nandeveñako i Leae
There they buried him, and Sara his wife: there was Isaac buried with Rebecca his wife: there also Lia doth lie buried.
32 I tetekey naho i lakato ama’ey ty vinily amo ana’ i Kheteo.
33 Ie nagado’ Iakòbe i nafè’e amo ana’eoy, le naonjo’e am-pandrea’e o fandia’eo le nikofòke fara’e vaho natontoñe am’ ondati’eo.
And when he had ended the commandments, wherewith he instructed his sons, he drew up his feet upon the bed, and died: and he was gathered to his people.
