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 unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the last days.
2 “Yaa ilmaan Yaaqoob mee walitti qabamaa dhaggeeffadhaa; abbaa keessan Israaʼelin dhaggeeffadhaa.
Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto 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 beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
4 Ati akka bishaanii asii fi achi raafamta; ol aantummaas hin qabaattu; ati siree abbaa keetiitti ol baatee, afata kootti ol baatee xureessiteertaatii.
Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou [it: ] he went up to my couch.
5 “Simiʼoonii fi Lewwiin obboloota; goraadeen isaanii miʼa fincilaa ti.
Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty [are in] their habitations.
6 Lubbuun koo marii isaaniitti hin seenin; ulfinni koos yaaʼii isaaniitti hin dabalamin; isaan dheekkamsa isaaniitiin nama ajjeesaniiruutii; fedhii ofii isaaniitiinis qotiyyoo naafachiisaniiru.
O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
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] fierce; and their wrath, 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, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand [shall be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before 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 lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10 Hamma bulchaan dhufutti bokkuun harka Yihuudaatii, uleen bulchiinsaa miilla isaa gidduudhaa hin dhabamu; saboonnis isaaf ni ajajamu.
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].
11 Inni harree isaa muka wayiniitti, ilmoo harree isaa immoo damee filatamaatti hidhata; wayyaa isaa daadhii wayiniitiin, wandaboo isaa immoo dhiiga gumaa wayiniitiin miiccata.
Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 Iji isaa daadhii wayinii irra diimata; ilkaan isaa immoo aannan irra addaata.
His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13 “Zebuuloon qarqara galaanaa jiraata; buufata dooniiwwaniis taʼa; daangaan isaas hamma Siidoonaatti balʼata.
Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he [shall be] for an haven of ships; and his border [shall be] unto Zidon.
14 “Yisaakor harree jabaa feʼiisa lama gidduu ciisuu dha.
Issachar [is] a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
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 that rest [was] good, and the land that [it was] pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
16 “Daan gosoota Israaʼel keessaa akka isa tokkootti, saba isaatiif murtii qajeelaa ni kenna.
Dan shall judge his people, as one 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 shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.

22 “Yoosef muka wayinii ija qabeessa, muka wayinii ija qabeessa burqaa bishaaniitti dhiʼoo jiruu dha; dameen isaa dallaa irra yaaʼa.
Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
23 Warri iddaa qabatan waraana isatti banan; isatti futtaasan; isa jibbanis.
The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], 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 abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] 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.
[Even] by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, 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 have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
27 “Beniyaam yeeyyii baayʼee beelaʼee dha; ganama waan adamse itti gaggabee nyaata; galgala immoo boojuu hira.”
Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
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 it] that their father spake unto them, and 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 unto them, I am to be gathered unto 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] before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.

There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah 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] therein [was] from the children of Heth.
33 Yaaqoob akkuma ilmaan isaa ajajuu raawwateen miilla isaa siree irratti ol deebifatee hafuura dhumaa baafate; gara saba isaattis walitti qabame.
And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
