UGenesisi 49
1 UJakobe wasebiza amadodana akhe wathi: Buthanani ukuze ngilazise okuzalehlela ensukwini ezizayo.
Yakob frɛɛ ne mmabarima nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mummetwa me ho nhyia, na menka mo nea ɛbɛba mo so daakye.
2 Buthanani, lizwe madodana kaJakobe, limlalele uIsrayeli uyihlo.
“Yakob mmabarima, mommoaboa mo ho ano, na muntie; muntie mo agya Israel.
3 Rubeni, ulizibulo lami, amandla ami, lokuqala kokuqina kwami, ukuphelela kwesithunzi, lokuphelela kwamandla.
“Ruben, wo na woyɛ mʼabakan. Wo na woyɛ me tumi ne mʼahoɔden nsɛnkyerɛnne a edi kan a ɛboro anuonyam ne tumi so.
4 Uphuphuma njengamanzi, kawuyikuba ngopheleleyo, ngoba ukhwele embhedeni kayihlo, wasuwona; wakhwela embhedeni wami.
Woyɛ kitikiti sɛ asorɔkye, nanso worenkɔ so bio, efisɛ woforoo wʼagya mpa ne ne yere kɔdae, de guu mʼanim ase.
5 USimeyoni loLevi bayizelamani; inkemba zabo ziyizikhali zokuphanga.
“Simeon ne Lewi yɛ anuanom. Wogyina hɔ ma basabasayɛ ne asisi.
6 Umphefumulo wami ungangeni emphakathini wabo wangasese, udumo lwami lungahlangani emhlanganweni wabo; ngoba ngolaka lwabo babulala umuntu, langokuzithokozisa baquma izinkabi umsipha.
Mma me nkɔka wɔn agyinatu ho, efisɛ wɔnam wɔn abufuw so akunkum nnipa, na wokunkum anantwi de gyee wɔn ani.
7 Kaluqalekiswe ulaka lwabo ngoba lulamandla, lentukuthelo yabo ngoba ilesihluku. Ngizabehlukanisa koJakobe, ngibahlakaze koIsrayeli.
Nnome nka wɔn abufuw, efisɛ ano yɛ den, na ɛyɛ atirimɔdensɛm! Ɛno nti, mɛbɔ wɔn asefo ahwete Israelman mu nyinaa.
8 Juda, wena, abafowenu bazakudumisa; isandla sakho sizakuba sentanyeni yezitha zakho; amadodana kayihlo azakukhothamela.
“Yuda, wo nuabarimanom beyi wo ayɛ. Wobɛsɛe wʼatamfo nyinaa. Wʼagya mmabarima bɛkotow wo.
9 UJuda ungumdlwane wesilwane; wenyukile empangweni, ndodana yami, uguqile, ulele njengesilwane, lanjengesilwane esisikazi; ngubani ozamsukumisa?
Yuda, woyɛ gyata ba a woawe wʼatamfo nam awie. Wote sɛ gyata a wabutuw. Hena na obetumi akɔka no?
10 Intonga yobukhosi kayiyikusuka kuJuda, lomnikumthetho phakathi kwenyawo zakhe, aze afike uShilo, njalo izizwe zizamlalela.
Ahempema remfi Yuda nsam, na saa ara nso na ahempema remfi nʼanan ntam, kosi sɛ, nea ɛyɛ ne dea a aman nyinaa betie no no bɛba.
11 Ubophela ithole lakhe likababhemi evinini, lethole likababhemikazi wakhe evinini elihle. Uhlamba isigqoko sakhe ewayinini, lesembatho sakhe egazini lezithelo zevini.
Ɔbɛsa nʼafurum wɔ bobe dua mu. Ɔde nʼafurum ba bɛsa bobe pa mman mu. Ɔbɛhoro ne ntama wɔ nsa mu, na wahoro nʼatade nso wɔ bobesa kɔɔ mu.
12 Amehlo akhe azakuba nsundu ngewayini, lamazinyo akhe mhlophe ngochago.
Nʼaniwa aba bebiri asen bobesa. Ne se bɛyɛ fitaa asen nufusu.
13 UZebuluni uzahlala ethekwini lolwandle, abe litheku lemikhumbi, lomngcele wakhe uzakuba ngaseSidoni.
“Sebulon bɛtena mpoano. Obesisi ahyɛngyinabea ama ahyɛn. Nʼahye so bɛtrɛw akosi Sidon.
14 UIsakari ungubabhemi olamathambo alamandla, oqutha phakathi kwemithwalo emibili.
“Isakar yɛ afurum hoɔdenfo a obutuw hɔ rehome wɔ nguankuw mu.
15 Wathi ebona indawo yokuphumula ukuthi inhle, lelizwe ukuthi liyabukeka, wagobisa amahlombe akhe ukuze athwale, waba yinceku esibhalweni.
Sɛ ohu sɛnea nʼahomegyebea ye fa, ne sɛnea nʼasase no so dwo a, obekuntun agye adesoa, na wapene so sɛ akoa ama ɔhyɛ adwuma.
16 UDani uzakwahlulela abantu bakhe, njengesinye sezizwe zakoIsrayeli.
“Dan bebu ne manfo atɛn sɛ Israel mmusuakuw no baako.
17 UDani uzakuba yinyoka endleleni, inhlangwana emkhondweni, eluma izithende zebhiza, ukuze umgadi walo awe nyovane.
Dan bɛyɛ sɛ ɔwɔ a ɔda kwankyɛn; ɔbɛyɛ sɛ ahurutoa a ɔnam ɔtempɔn mu a ɔka ɔpɔnkɔ nantin, sɛnea ɛbɛma ne sotefo atew ahwe nʼakyi.
18 Ngilindele usindiso lwakho, Nkosi.
“Awurade, wo nkwagye na meretwɛn.
19 UGadi, iviyo lizamhlasela, kodwa yena uzahlasela ezithendeni.
“Nnipa bɔnefo bɛtow ahyɛ Gad so, na ɔno nso betiw wɔn atow ahyɛ wɔn so.
20 Kuvela kuAsheri, ukudla kwakhe kuzanona, uzaveza izibiliboco zenkosi.
“Aser aduan a odi no bɛyɛ aduan pa. Na ɔbɛma ahennuan a ɛyɛ akɔnnɔ.
21 UNafithali uyimpala ethukululiweyo, eveza amazwi amahle.
“Naftali te sɛ ɔforote a wɔagyaa no a ɔwo mma ahoɔfɛfo.
22 UJosefa ulugatsha oluthelayo, ugatsha oluthelayo emthonjeni, ingatsha zikhwela phezu komduli.
“Yosef yɛ ngodua a ɛsow aba, a esi asuten ho, na ne mman tra afasu.
23 Abatshoki basebemphatha kabuhlungu, bamtshoka, bamzonda.
Agyantowfo kaa no hyɛe, de abufuw tow hyɛɛ ne so.
24 Kodwa idandili lakhe lahlala liqinile, lengalo zezandla zakhe zaqiniswa ngezandla zikaSomandla kaJakobe, okuvela khona umelusi, ilitshe likaIsrayeli,
Nanso ne bɛma no gyinaa pintinn, na ne basa mu yɛɛ den; esiane Otumfo Nyankopɔn a Yakob som no no a ɔyɛ oguanhwɛfo ne Israel botantim no;
25 ngoNkulunkulu kayihlo ozakusiza, langoSomandla ozakubusisa ngezibusiso zamazulu ezivela phezulu, izibusiso zokujula okulele phansi, izibusiso zamabele lesizalo,
esiane Onyankopɔn a wʼagya som no a ɔboa wo no; Otumfo a ɔde ɔsoro nhyira behyira wo; nhyira a efi asase ase pɛɛ; nhyira a efi nufu ne ɔyafunu mu no.
26 izibusiso zikayihlo ziyedlula izibusiso zabokhokho bami, kuze kube sengqongeni zamaqaqa aphakade; zizakuba phezu kwekhanda likaJosefa, laphezu kwenkanda yalowo owehlukaniswe kubafowabo.
Wʼagya nhyira a wɔahyira no no bɛdɔɔso asen tete nteredee mmepɔw ne nkoko a etintim hɔ daa no so nnɔbae. Eyinom nyinaa mmra Yosef ti so, engugu anuanom no mu nea wɔapaw no no anintɔn so.
27 UBhenjamini uyimpisi edabulayo; ekuseni izakudla ekujimbileyo, lakusihlwa izakwehlukanisa impango.
“Benyamin yɛ pataku a ɔyɛ nam; ɔbɔ aporɔw anɔpa, kyere ne hanam we, na edu anwummere a, ɔkyekyɛ nam nkae no.”
28 Bonke labo bayizizwe ezilitshumi lambili zakoIsrayeli; futhi lokho yikho uyise akukhuluma kubo ebabusisa; ngulowo lalowo ngesibusiso sakhe wababusisa.
Eyi ne nhyira a Israel mmusuakuw dumien no agya de hyiraa wɔn; obiara ne sɛnea ɛfata no.
29 Wasebalaya wathi kubo: Sengibuthelwa ebantwini bakithi; lingingcwabe labobaba obhalwini olusensimini kaEfroni umHethi,
Yakob rebewu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn hyɛɛ wɔn se, “Aka kakraa bi, na wɔrebɛfa me akɔka me mpanyimfo ho. Sɛ miwu a, munsie me wɔ ɔboda a ɛwɔ Hetini Efron afuw a wosiee me mpanyimfo wɔ mu no mu.
30 obhalwini olusensimini yeMakaphela eqondane leMamre, elizweni leKhanani, uAbrahama owaluthenga lensimu kuEfroni umHethi ibe yindawo yethu yokungcwabela.
Ɛno ne ɔboda ne afuw a ɛwɔ Makpela, a ɛbɛn Mamrɛ a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so no. Abraham tɔɔ saa ɔboda no fii Hetini Efron nkyɛn, de yɛɛ amusiei.
31 Lapho bangcwaba oAbrahama loSara umkakhe; lapho bangcwaba oIsaka loRebeka umkakhe; lalapho ngangcwaba uLeya,
Saa ɔboda no mu na wosiee Abraham ne ne yere Sara. Ɛhɔ ara nso na wosiee Isak ne ne yere Rebeka, na misiee Lea nso.
32 insimu, lobhalu olukiyo, kwathengwa emadodaneni kaHethi.
Me nena Abraham tɔɔ afuw no ne ɔboda a ɛka ho no nyinaa fii Hetifo no nkyɛn.”
33 Kwathi uJakobe eseqedile ukulaya amadodana akhe, waqoqela inyawo zakhe embhedeni, waphela, wabuthelwa ebantwini bakibo.
Bere a Yakob kasa kyerɛɛ ne mma no wiee no, ɔmaa ne nan so guu ne mpa so wui. Wokosiee no wɔ ne mpanyimfo nkyɛn.
