1 Le kinanji’ Iakòbe o ana’eo, vaho nanao ty hoe, Miropaha amako etoy, ho talilieko ze hifetsak’ ama’ areo amo andro añeo.
Then Jacob summoned his sons, and said: "Gather yourselves together so that I may tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.
2 Mivoria vaho mitsanoña, ry ana’ Iakòbe; tsendreño Israele rae’areo.
Assemble yourselves and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.

Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength, and the the firstfruits of my virility, preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power.
4 mihalingaliñe hoe rano, tsy hionjoñe ka, amy te nanganiha’o ty fandrean-drae’o; nitivàeñe—ie nijoñe an-tihiko eo!
Uncontrolled as the waters, you will not have excel, because you went up to your father's bed, you went up and defiled my couch.
5 Miharo-foetse t’i Simone naho i Levy; haraom-piaroteñe o fialia’ iareoo.
Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
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,
May I never enter their council. May my honor never be joined with their assembly. For in their anger they killed men, and for pleasure they hamstrung 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 has been fierce, and their fury, 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, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father's sons will bow down before you.
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 cub. From the prey, my son, you rise up. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?

The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. And it is he whom the peoples will obey.

Binding his foal to the vine, and his donkey's colt to the choice vine. He will wash his garments in wine, and his robes in the blood of grapes.
12 Menae’ ty divay o maso’eo, vaho hafotin-dronono ty nife’e.
His eyes will be darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
