Uumama 49
1 Yaaqoob ilmaan isaa ofitti waamee akkana jedhe: “Akka ani waan bara dhumaa keessa isinitti dhufu isinitti himuuf mee walitti qabamaa.
Then Jacob called for his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what will happen to you in the future.
2 “Yaa ilmaan Yaaqoob mee walitti qabamaa dhaggeeffadhaa; abbaa keessan Israaʼelin dhaggeeffadhaa.
Assemble yourselves and listen, you sons of Jacob. 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, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, outstanding in dignity, and outstanding in power.
4 Ati akka bishaanii asii fi achi raafamta; ol aantummaas hin qabaattu; ati siree abbaa keetiitti ol baatee, afata kootti ol baatee xureessiteertaatii.
Uncontrollable as rushing water, you will not have the preeminence, because you went up to your father's bed. Then you defiled it; you went up to my couch.
5 “Simiʼoonii fi Lewwiin obboloota; goraadeen isaanii miʼa fincilaa ti.
Simeon and Levi are brothers. Weapons of violence are 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.
O my soul, do not come into their council; do not join in their meetings, for my heart has too much honor for that. For in their anger they killed men. It was for pleasure that they hamstrung 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.
May their anger be cursed, for it was fierce—and their fury, 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, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father's sons will bow down before you.
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 cub. My son, you have gone up from your victims. He stooped down, he crouched like a lion, like a lioness. Who would dare to awaken him?
10 Hamma bulchaan dhufutti bokkuun harka Yihuudaatii, uleen bulchiinsaa miilla isaa gidduudhaa hin dhabamu; saboonnis isaaf ni ajajamu.
The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes. The nations will obey him.
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 donkey to the vine, and his donkey's colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, and his robe in the blood of grapes.

Dan will be a snake beside the road, a poisonous snake in the path that bites the horse's heels, so that his rider falls backward.

The archers will attack him and shoot at him and harass him.
24 Garuu iddaan isaa jabaatee hafe; irreen harka isaa, harka Waaqa Jabaa Yaaqoobiin jabeeffame. Achiis Tiksee sanaan, Kattaa Israaʼeliin,
But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the name of the Shepherd, the Rock 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.
The God of your father will help you and the Almighty God will bless you with blessings of the sky above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, and blessings of the breasts and 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.

Then he instructed them and said to them, “I am about to go to my people. Bury me with my forefathers 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 near Mamre in the land of Canaan, the field that Abraham bought for a burial place from Ephron the Hittite.

When Jacob finished these instructions to his sons, he pulled his feet into the bed, breathed his last, and went to his people.
