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 unto his sons, and said: 'Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the end of days.
2 Mivoria vaho mitsanoña, ry ana’ Iakòbe; tsendreño Israele rae’areo.
Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
3 O Reòbene, tañoloñoloñako irehe, ty haozarako naho ty loha-voan-kafatrarako, mininginingy an-dohàñe, miligiligy am-panjofahañe.
Reuben, thou art my first-born, my might, and the first-fruits of my strength; the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power.
4 mihalingaliñe hoe rano, tsy hionjoñe ka, amy te nanganiha’o ty fandrean-drae’o; nitivàeñe—ie nijoñe an-tihiko eo!
Unstable as water, have not thou the excellency; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou 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 brethren; weapons of violence their kinship.
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 my soul not come into their council; unto their assembly let my glory not be united; for in their anger they slew men, and in their self-will they houghed oxen.
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, thee shall thy brethren praise; 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 art 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 sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, as long as men come to Shiloh; and unto 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 unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washeth 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 shore of the sea, and he shall be a shore for ships, and his flank shall be upon Zidon.
14 Borìke maozatse t’Isakare miondrek’ añivon-kilankañe roe,
Issachar is a large-boned ass, couching down between the sheep-folds.
15 Naheo’e te soa i fitofàñey naho te naindoñindoñe i taney, aa le nabokoboko’e o soro’eo hinday vaho ninjare nitoroñe haba.
For he saw a resting-place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under task-work
16 Hizaka ondati’eo t’i Dane, Kanao mpiamo foko Israeleo.
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, a horned snake in the path, that biteth the horse's heels, so that his rider falleth backward.
18 Mandiñe ty fandrombaha’o raho ry Iehovà.
I wait for Thy salvation, O Lord.
19 Haname i Gade ty fifañosoñañe, Fa hihoridaña’e an-tomi’e.
Gad, a troop shall troop upon him; but he shall troop upon their heel.
20 Boak’amy Asere ty mahakama matave, hazotso’e ty hafiriam-panjakay.
As for Asher, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
21 Renem-panaloke nampidadañe t’i Naftaly, mitaroñe razan-tsaontsy.
Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
22 Tirin-katae mamoa t’Iosefe, toran-katae miregorego añ’olon-drano manganahana; mamokon-kijoly o tora’eo.
Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a fountain; its branches run over the wall.
23 Nampioje aze an-kafairañe o mpitàm-paleo; Hiniriri’iareo ana-pale fa nalaiñe aze.
The archers have dealt bitterly with him, and shot at him, and hated 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 firm, and the arms of his hands were made supple, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, from thence, from 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 coucheth 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 are mighty beyond the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of the prince among his brethren.
27 Farasy romotse t’i Beniamine, maraiñe re mampibotseke ty nitsatsà’e, haleñe re mandiva o kinopa’eo.
Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth; in the morning he devoureth the prey, and at even he divideth 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, and this is it that their father spoke unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
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, and said unto them: 'I am to be gathered unto my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
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.
in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying-place.
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 Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32 I tetekey naho i lakato ama’ey ty vinily amo ana’ i Kheteo.
The field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.'
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 Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered unto his people.
