उत्पत्ति 49
1 तब याकूबले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई बोलाएर भनेः “तिमीहरू यहाँ जम्मा होओ, ताकि भविष्यमा तिमीहरूमाथि के आइपर्नेछ सो म तिमीहरूलाई भनूँ ।
And Jacob called his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, and I will tell you what will befall you at the end of days.

Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father.

4 बग्ने पानीजस्तो चञ्चल, तेरो प्रतिष्ठा रहनेछैन, किनभने तँ तेरा बुबाको ओछ्यानमा चढिस् । अनि त्यसलाई अशुद्ध पारिस्; तँ मेरो पलङ्गमा चढ़िस् ।
Impetuous as the waters, thou shalt have no pre-eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father's couch: Then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to my bed.

6 ए मेरो प्राण, तिनीहरूको सभामा नआइज, तिनीहरूको बैठकमा नबस् किनकि मेरो हृदयमा त्यसको निम्ति अत्यन्तै श्रद्धा छ । किनकि तिनीहरूलेआफ्नो रिसमा मानिसहरूलाई मारे । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो आनन्दको निम्ति गोरुहरूका ढोडनसा काटेका छन् ।
My soul, come not into their council; Mine honour, be not united with their assembly; For in their anger they slew men, And in their wantonness houghed oxen.
7 तिनीहरूको रिस श्रापित् होस्, किनभने त्यो भयानक छ, र तिनीहरूको क्रोध पनि श्रापित् होस् किनकि त्यो निष्ठुर छ । तिनीहरूलाई म याकूबमा विभाजन गर्नेछु, इस्राएलमा तितरबितर पार्नेछु ।
Cursed be their anger, for it [was] violent; And their rage, for it [was] cruel! I will divide them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.
8 ए यहूदा, तेरा दाजुभाइहरूले तेरो प्रशंसा गर्नेछन् । तेरा हात तेरा शत्रुहरूका गर्दनमा हुनेछन् । तेरा बुबाका छोराहरू तेरो सामुन्ने निहुरिनेछन् ।
Judah — [as to] thee, thy brethren will praise thee; Thy hand will be upon the neck of thine enemies; Thy father's children will bow down to thee.
9 यहूदा सिंहको डमरु हो । ए मेरो छोरो, तँ तेरो शिकारभन्दा उच्च भएको छस् । त्यो निहुरियो, सिंह र सिंहनीझैँ झुक्यो । कसले त्यसलाई उठाउने आँट गर्छ?

10 यहूदाको हातबाट राजदण्ड हट्नेछैन, न त राज्य चलाउनेको लाठी त्यसका खुट्टाका बिचबाट हट्नेछ, जबसम्म त्यसका मालिक आउँदैनन् । जातिहरूले उहाँको आज्ञा मान्नेछन् ।
The sceptre will not depart from Judah, Nor the lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh come, And to him will be the obedience of peoples.
11 त्यसको गधालाई दाखको बोटमा, र गधाको बछेड़ोलाई चाहिँ उत्तम जातको हाँगामा बाँधेर त्यसले आफ्ना लुगाहरू दाखमद्यमा, आफ्ना पोशाक अङ्गुरको रसमा धुनेछ ।

And he saw the rest that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And was a tributary servant.

But his bow abideth firm, And the arms of his hands are supple By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob. From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:

All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them; and he blessed them: every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
29 तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिएर यसो भने “म त मेरा मानिसहरूकहाँ मिल्न जान लागेको छु । हित्ती एप्रोनको खेतमा भएको ओडारमा मेरा पिता-पुर्खाहरूका साथमा मलाई गाड,
And he charged them, and said to them, I am gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30 अर्थात् कनान देशमा मम्रेनेरको मक्पेलाको खेतमा भएको ओडार, जुन अब्राहामले हित्ती एप्रोनको हातबाट खेतसमेत चिहान बनाउनलाई किनेका थिए ।
in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is opposite to Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought of Ephron the Hittite along with the field for a possession of a sepulchre.
31 उनीहरूले अब्राहाम र तिनकी पत्नी सारालाई त्यहीँ गाडे । त्यहीँ नै उनीहरूले इसहाक र तिनकी पत्नी रिबेकालाई पनि गाडे । त्यहीँ नै मैले लेआलाई गाडेँ ।
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebecca his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32 त्यो खेत र त्यहाँ भएको ओडार हित्तीहरूको हातबाट किनिएको थियो ।”
The purchase of the field, and of the cave that is in it, was from the children of Heth.
33 छोराहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिइसकेपछि याकूबले आफ्ना खुट्टा ओछ्यानमा पसारेर आफ्नो प्राण त्यागे, र आफ्ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग मिल्न गए ।
And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered to his peoples.
