1 UJakhobe wabiza amadodana akhe wathi: “Sondelani eduze ngilitshele lokho okuzakwenzakala kini ensukwini ezizayo.
Pambuyo pake Yakobo anayitanitsa ana ake aamuna nati: Sonkhanani pamodzi kuti ndikuwuzeni zimene zidzakuchitikireni mʼmasiku a mʼtsogolo.
2 Buthanani lilalele, madodana kaJakhobe, lalelani kuyihlo u-Israyeli.
“Bwerani ndipo imvani mawu anga, inu ana a Yakobo; mverani abambo anu Israeli.
3 URubheni, ulizibulo lami, amandla ami, isibonakaliso sokuqala samandla ami, ukuphelela ngodumo, ukuphelela ngamandla.
“Rubeni, ndiwe woyamba kubadwa; mphamvu yanga ndiponso chizindikiro choyamba cha mphamvu zanga, wopambana pa ulemerero ndi mphamvu.
4 Uhlokoma njengamanzi, kawusayikuba liciko, ngoba wakhwela embhedeni kayihlo, waya phezu kwesihlalo sami wasingcolisa.
Wokokoma ngati madzi a chigumula, koma sudzakhalanso wopambana, iwe unagona pa bedi la abambo ako, ndithu unayipitsa bedi la mdzakazi wake.
5 USimiyoni loLevi bayizelamani inkemba zabo yizikhali zodlakela.
“Simeoni ndi Levi ndi pachibale pawo, anachitira nkhanza anthu amene anachita nawo pangano.
6 Mangingangeni enkundleni yabo, mangingangeni emhlanganweni wabo, ngoba bababulala abantu ngokuthukuthela kwabo njalo inkabi baziquma imisipha santando.
Iwe moyo wanga, usakhale nawo pa misonkhano yawo ya mseri, kapena kugwirizana nawo mʼmabwalo awo, pakuti anapha anthu mu mkwiyo wawo ndipo anapundula ngʼombe zamphongo monga kunawakomera.
7 Luqalekisiwe ulaka lwabo, lwesabeka kubi, lentukuthelo yabo, ilesihluku esibi! Ngizakubachithiza kuJakhobe, njalo ngibahlakaze ko-Israyeli.
Matemberero awagwere chifukwa cha mkwiyo wawo woopsa chonchi ndi ukali wawo wankhanza choterewu! Ine ndidzawabalalitsa mʼdziko la Yakobo ndi kuwamwaza iwo mʼdziko la Israeli.
8 Juda, abafowenu bazakudumisa; isandla sakho sizakuba sentanyeni yezitha zakho; amadodana kayihlo azakukhothamela.
“Yuda, ndiwe amene abale ako adzatamanda; dzanja lako lidzagwira pa khosi pa adani ako; abale ako adzakugwadira iwe.
9 Ungumdlwane wesilwane, Oh Juda; uvela ekuzingeleni, ndodana yami. Njengesilwane uyacathama alale phansi, njengesilwanekazi, ngubani olesibindi sokumhlokoza?
Yuda ali ngati mwana wa mkango; umabwerera ku malo ako ndi zofunkha, mwana wanga. Monga mkango, amadziwongola ndi kugona pansi, ndipo ngati mkango waukazi, ndani angalimbe mtima kumudzutsa?
10 Intonga yobukhosi kayiyikusuka kuJuda, loba umqwayi wombusi phakathi kwezinyawo zakhe, aze ayofika kumnini wayo lokulalela kwezizwe kukuye.
Ndodo yaufumu sidzachoka mwa Yuda, udzawupanirira ulamuliro motero kuti palibe amene adzawuchotse, mpaka mwini wake weniweni atabwera ndipo mitundu yonse ya anthu idzamumvera.
11 Uzabophela ubabhemi wakhe evinini, inkonyane kababhemi wakhe ogatsheni oluhle; uzagezisa izembatho zakhe ngewayini, izigqoko zakhe egazini lamagrebisi.
Ndiye amene amamangirira bulu wake wamkazi kumtengo wa mpesa, ndi mwana wa bulu ku nthambi ya mpesa wabwino. Ndi iye amene amachapa zovala zake mu vinyo; ndi mkanjo wake mu vinyo wofiira ngati magazi.
12 Amehlo akhe azathuba okudlula iwayini, amazinyo akhe abe mhlophe kulochago.
Maso ake adzakhala akuda chifukwa cha vinyo, mano ake woyera chifukwa cha mkaka.
13 UZebhuluni uzahlala okhunjini lolwandle abe litheku lemikhumbi; umngcele wakhe uzaqhelela eSidoni.
“Zebuloni adzakhala mʼmphepete mwa nyanja; adzakhala pa dooko la sitima zapamadzi; malire ake adzafika ku Sidoni.
14 U-Isakhari ulithambo likababhemi elilohlonzi olele ephahlwe ngamasaka amabili emithwalo.
“Isakara ali ngati bulu wamphamvu wogona pansi pakati pa makola.
15 Uthi nxa ebona ubuhle bendawo yakhe yokuphumula lokubukeka kwelizwe lakhe, uzakwehlisa ihlombe lakhe ukuthwala umthwalo azimisele emsebenzini wesigqili.
Ataona ubwino wake wa pamalo pake popumira ndi kukongola kwa dziko lake, iye anaweramutsa msana kuti anyamule katundu wake ndipo anasanduka wogwira ntchito ya ukapolo.
16 UDani uzakwahlulela kahle abantu bakibo njengesinye sezizwe zako-Israyeli.
“Dani adzaweruza mwachilungamo anthu ake monga limodzi mwa mafuko a anthu a mu Israeli.
17 UDani uzakuba yinyoka esemgwaqweni, inhlangwana elele endleleni, eluma izithende zebhiza ukuze umgadi walo atshelele aye emuva.
Dani adzakhala ngati njoka ya mʼmphepete mwa msewu, songo yokhala mʼnjira imene imaluma chidendene cha kavalo kuti wokwerapoyo agwe chagada.
18 Ngilindele ukuhlenga kwakho, Oh Thixo.
“Ndikuyembekeza chipulumutso chanu Yehova.
19 UGadi uzahlaselwa liqula lamanxusa, kodwa uzabahlasela bamuphe izithende zabo.
“Gadi adzachitidwa chiwembu ndi gulu la amaliwongo, koma iye adzawathamangitsa.
20 Ukudla kuka-Asheri kuzakuba ngokunonileyo, uzakupha okumnandi okufanele inkosi.
“Dziko la Aseri lidzabereka chakudya chokoma, ndipo iye adzapereka chakudya kwa mafumu.
21 UNafithali yimpalakazi ekhululiweyo ezala amazinyane amahle.
“Nafutali ali ngati mbawala yayikazi yokhala ndi ana okongola kwambiri.
22 UJosefa ulivini elithela kakhulu, ivini elithela kakhulu eduze komthombo, elimagatsha alo akhwela emdulini.
“Yosefe ali ngati mtengo wobereka zipatso, mtengo wobereka zipatso pafupi ndi kasupe, nthambi zake zimayanga pa chipupa cha mwala.
23 Abahlaseli bemitshoko bamhlasela ngolaka; bamciba ngenzondo embi.
Alenje a uta anamuchita chiwembu mwankhanza; anamuthamangitsa ndi mauta awo.
24 Kodwa kawalazelanga ngedandili lakhe, ingalo zakhe eziqinileyo zala zilokhu ziqinile ngenxa yesandla soMninimandla kaJakhobe, ngenxa kaMalusi, iDwala lika-Israyeli,
Koma uta wake sunagwedezeke, ndi manja ake amphamvu aja analimbika, chifukwa cha mphamvu za Mulungu Wamphamvu wa Yakobo, chifukwa ali Mʼbusa ndi Thanthwe la Israeli.
25 ngenxa kaNkulunkulu kayihlo, okusizayo, ngenxa kaSomandla okubusisayo ngezibusiso zasezulwini ngaphezulu, izibusiso zolwandle olungaphansi, izibusiso zebele lenzalo.
Chifukwa cha Mulungu wa makolo ako amene amakuthandiza; chifukwa cha Mulungu Wamphamvu, amene amakudalitsa ndi mvula yochokera kumwamba, ndi madzi otumphuka pansi pa nthaka, ndipo amakudalitsa pokupatsa ana ambiri ndi ngʼombe zambiri.
26 Izibusiso zikayihlo zinkulu kulezibusiso zezintaba zekadeni, kulezithelo zamaqaqa adabuka endulo. Zonke lezi kazehlele ekhanda likaJosefa, ebunzini lenkosana phakathi kwabafowabo.
Madalitso a kholo lako ndi amphamvu kuposa madalitso a mapiri akale oposa zabwino za ku zitunda zamgonagona. Zonse izi zikhale pamutu pa Yosefe, pa mphumi pa wopatulika uja amene anapatulidwa pakati pa abale ake.
27 UBhenjamini yimpisi ephangayo; ekuseni uyakudlithiza akujimbileyo, ntambama akwabe.”
“Benjamini ali ngati mʼmbulu wolusa; umene mmawa umapha ndi kudya zofunkha, ndipo madzulo umagawa zofunkhazo,”
28 Zonke lezi yizizwana ezilitshumi lambili zako-Israyeli, njalo yikho lokho uyise akutsho kubo lapho wayebabusisa, esipha ilowo lalowo isibusiso esimfaneleyo.
Onse awa ndi mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli, ndipo zimenezi ndi zomwe abambo awo ananena pamene anawadalitsa, kuwapatsa aliyense madalitso ake womuyenera iye.
29 Emva kwalokho wasebanika imilayo le: “Sekusondele ukuba ngimbelwe ebantwini bakithi. Lingimbele labokhokho ebhalwini ensimini ka-Efroni umHithi,
Kenaka Yakobo analamula ana ake nati: “Ine ndatsala pangʼono kufa. Tsono mukandiyike pamodzi ndi makolo anga mʼphanga la mʼmunda wa Efroni Mhiti.
30 ubhalu olusensimini kaMakhaphela, eduze leMamure eKhenani, eyathengwa ngu-Abhrahama kanye lensimu leyo ku-Efroni umHithi, ukuba yindawo yokungcwaba.
Ili ndi phanga la mʼmunda wa Makipela, pafupi ndi Mamre mʼdziko la Kanaani. Abrahamu anagula phangalo pamodzi ndi munda womwe kwa Efroni Mhiti kuti pakhale manda.
31 Khonapho kwangcwatshwa u-Abhrahama lomkakhe uSara, kwembelwa u-Isaka lomkakhe uRabheka, njalo khonapho ngambela uLeya.
Kumeneko kunayikidwa Abrahamu ndi mkazi wake Sara, Isake ndi mkazi wake Rebeka ndipo ndinayikakonso Leya.
32 Insimu kanye lobhalu oluphakathi kwathengwa kumaHithi.”
Munda ndi manda amene ali mʼmenemo zinagulidwa kwa Ahiti.”
33 Kwathi uJakhobe eseqedile ukunika imilayezo emadodaneni akhe, wakhweza inyawo zakhe embhedeni, waphefumula okokucina, wasiwa kwabakibo.
Yakobo atamaliza kupereka malangizo kwa ana ake, anabwezera miyendo yake pa bedi, namwalira ndipo anakakhala ndi anthu a mtundu wake.
