Uumama 49
1 Yaaqoob ilmaan isaa ofitti waamee akkana jedhe: “Akka ani waan bara dhumaa keessa isinitti dhufu isinitti himuuf mee walitti qabamaa.
And Jacob called his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, and I will tell you what will befall you at the end of days.
2 “Yaa ilmaan Yaaqoob mee walitti qabamaa dhaggeeffadhaa; abbaa keessan Israaʼelin dhaggeeffadhaa.
Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father.
3 “Yaa Ruubeen, ati ilma koo hangafa; humna koo, mallattoo jalqabaa kan jabina kootii ti; ati ulfinaan ni caalta; humnaan illee ni caalta.
Reuben, thou art my firstborn, My might, and the firstfruits of my vigour: Excellency of dignity, and excellency of strength.
4 Ati akka bishaanii asii fi achi raafamta; ol aantummaas hin qabaattu; ati siree abbaa keetiitti ol baatee, afata kootti ol baatee xureessiteertaatii.
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.
5 “Simiʼoonii fi Lewwiin obboloota; goraadeen isaanii miʼa fincilaa ti.
Simeon and Levi are brethren: Instruments of violence their swords.
6 Lubbuun koo marii isaaniitti hin seenin; ulfinni koos yaaʼii isaaniitti hin dabalamin; isaan dheekkamsa isaaniitiin nama ajjeesaniiruutii; fedhii ofii isaaniitiinis qotiyyoo naafachiisaniiru.
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 Aariin isaanii inni hamaan, dheekkamsi isaanii inni gara jabeessi abaaramaa haa taʼu! Ani Yaaqoob keessa isaan nan bittinneessa; Israaʼel keessas isaan nan facaasa.
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 “Yaa Yihuudaa obboloonni kee si leellisu; harki kee morma diina keetii qaba; ilmaan abbaa keetii siif sagadu.
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 Yaa Yihuudaa ati saafela leencaa ti; yaa ilma koo ati adamoodhaa deebita. Inni akka leencaa, akka leenca dhalaas, riphee ciisa; eenyutu ija jabaatee isa kaasa ree?
Judah is a young lion; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stoopeth, he layeth himself down as a lion, And as a lioness: who will rouse him up?
10 Hamma bulchaan dhufutti bokkuun harka Yihuudaatii, uleen bulchiinsaa miilla isaa gidduudhaa hin dhabamu; saboonnis isaaf ni ajajamu.
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 Inni harree isaa muka wayiniitti, ilmoo harree isaa immoo damee filatamaatti hidhata; wayyaa isaa daadhii wayiniitiin, wandaboo isaa immoo dhiiga gumaa wayiniitiin miiccata.
He bindeth his foal to the vine, And his ass's colt to the choice vine; He washeth his dress in wine, And his garment in the blood of grapes.
12 Iji isaa daadhii wayinii irra diimata; ilkaan isaa immoo aannan irra addaata.
The eyes are red with wine, And the teeth [are] white with milk.
13 “Zebuuloon qarqara galaanaa jiraata; buufata dooniiwwaniis taʼa; daangaan isaas hamma Siidoonaatti balʼata.

14 “Yisaakor harree jabaa feʼiisa lama gidduu ciisuu dha.
Issachar is a bony ass, Crouching down between two hurdles.
15 Innis yeroo akka iddoon boqonnaa isaa hammam gaarii taʼee fi akka lafti isaa tolaa taʼe argutti baʼaa baachuuf gatiittii isaa gad qabata; hojii humnaa hojjechuuf of kenna.
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.
16 “Daan gosoota Israaʼel keessaa akka isa tokkootti, saba isaatiif murtii qajeelaa ni kenna.
Dan will judge his people, As another of the tribes of Israel.
17 Daan bofa qarqara karaa ti; akka buutii daandii irraa, kan akka namichi farda yaabbatu gara duubaatti kufuuf kottee fardaa idduu ni taʼa.
Dan will be a serpent on the way, A horned snake on the path, Which biteth the horse's heels, So that the rider falleth backwards.
18 “Yaa Waaqayyo, ani fayyisuu kee nan eeggadha.
I wait for thy salvation, O Jehovah.

Joseph is a fruitful bough; A fruitful bough by a well; [His] branches shoot over the wall.
23 Warri iddaa qabatan waraana isatti banan; isatti futtaasan; isa jibbanis.
The archers have provoked him, And shot at, and hated him;
24 Garuu iddaan isaa jabaatee hafe; irreen harka isaa, harka Waaqa Jabaa Yaaqoobiin jabeeffame. Achiis Tiksee sanaan, Kattaa Israaʼeliin,
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:
25 Waaqa abbaa keetii isa si gargaaruun, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isa eebba samii gubbaatiin, eebba gadi fagoo isa jalaatiin, eebba harmaatii fi gadameessaatiin si eebbisu sanaan ni eebbifamta.
From the God of thy father, and he will help thee; And from the Almighty, and he will bless thee — With blessings of heaven from above, With blessings of the deep that lieth under, With blessings of the breast and of the womb.
26 Eebbi abbaa keetii, eebba tulluuwwan durii, arjummaa gaarran durii caala. Kun hundi mataa Yoosefiitti, gubbee mataa isa obboloota isaa keessaa hoogganaa taʼeetti haa qabatu.
The blessings of thy father surpass the blessings of my ancestors, Unto the bounds of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
27 “Beniyaam yeeyyii baayʼee beelaʼee dha; ganama waan adamse itti gaggabee nyaata; galgala immoo boojuu hira.”
Benjamin — [as] a wolf will he tear to pieces; In the morning he will devour the prey, And in the evening he will divide the booty.
28 Warri kunneen hundi gosoota Israaʼel kudha lamaan; kunis waan abbaan isaanii yeroo eebba tokkoo tokkoo isaaniif taʼuun isaan eebbisetti isaanitti dubbatee dha.
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 Ergasiis Yaaqoob akkana jedhee isaan ajaje; “Ani gara saba kootiitti walitti qabamuu gaʼeera; holqa lafa qotiisaa Efroon namicha gosa Heeti sanaatti abbootii koo biratti na awwaalaa.
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 Holqi kunis holqa biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti Mamree biratti lafa qotiisaa Makfelaa keessatti argamu kan Abrahaam iddoo awwaalaa godhachuuf Efroon namicha gosa Heeti sana irraa lafa qotiisaa wajjin bitatee dha.
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 Abrahaamii fi niitiin isaa Saaraan achitti awwaalaman; Yisihaaqii fi niitiin isaa Ribqaan achitti awwaalaman; anis achumattan Liyaa awwaale.
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebecca his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32 Lafti qotiisaatii fi holqi isa keessa jiru Heetota irraa bitaman.”
The purchase of the field, and of the cave that is in it, was from the children of Heth.

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.
