Postanak 49
1 Poslije sazva Jakov sinove svoje i reèe: skupite se da vam javim šta æe vam biti do pošljetka.
And Jacob called his sons, and said to them: Gather yourselves together that I may tell you the things that shall befall you in the last days.
2 Skupite se i poslušajte, sinovi Jakovljevi, poslušajte Izrailja oca svojega.
Gather yourselves together, and hear, O ye sons of Jacob, hearken to Israel your father:
3 Ruvime, ti si prvenac moj, krjepost moja i poèetak sile moje; prvi gospodstvom i prvi snagom.
Ruben, my firstborn, thou art my strength, and the beginning of my sorrow: excelling in gifts, greater in command.
4 Navro si kao voda; neæeš biti prvi; jer si stao na postelju oca svojega i oskvrnio je legav na nju.
Thou art poured out as water, grow thou not: because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed, and didst defile his couch.
5 Simeun i Levije, braæa, maèevi su im oružje nepravdi.
Simeon and Levi brethren: vessels of iniquity, waging war.
6 U tajne njihove da ne ulazi duša moja, sa zborom njihovijem da se ne sastavlja slava moja; jer u gnjevu svojem pobiše ljude, i za svoje veselje pokidaše volove.
Let not my soul go into their counsel, nor my glory be in their assembly: because in their fury they slew a man, and in their selfwill they undermined a wall.
7 Proklet da je gnjev njihov, što bješe nagao, i ljutina njihova, što bješe žestoka; razdijeliæu ih po Jakovu, i rasuæu ih po Izrailju.
Cursed be their fury, because it was stubborn: and their wrath because it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel.
8 Juda, tebe æe hvaliti braæa tvoja, a ruka æe ti biti za vratom neprijateljima tvojim, i klanjaæe ti se sinovi oca tvojega.
Juda, thee shall thy brethren praise: thy hands shall be on the necks of thy enemies: the sons of thy father shall bow down to thee.
9 Laviæu Juda! s plijena si se vratio, sine moj; spusti se i leže kao lav i kao ljuti lav; ko æe ga probuditi?
Juda is a lion’s whelp: to the prey, my son, thou art gone up: resting thou hast couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him?
10 Palica vladalaèka neæe se odvojiti od Jude niti od nogu njegovijeh onaj koji postavlja zakon, dokle ne doðe onaj kome pripada, i njemu æe se pokoravati narodi.
The sceptre shall not be taken away from Juda, nor a ruler from his thigh, till he come that is to be sent, and he shall be the expectation of nations.
11 Veže za èokot magare svoje, i za plemenitu lozu mlade od magarice svoje; u vinu pere haljinu svoju i ogrtaè svoj u soku od grožða.
Tying his foal to the vineyard, and his ass, O my son, to the vine. He shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape.
12 Oèi mu se crvene od vina i zubi bijele od mlijeka.
His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
13 Zavulon æe živjeti pokraj mora i gdje pristaju laðe, a meða æe mu biti do Sidona.
Zabulon shall dwell on the sea shore, and in the road of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.
14 Isahar je magarac jak u kostima, koji leži u toru,
Issachar shall be a strong ass lying down between the borders.
15 I vidjev da je poèivanje dobro i da je zemlja mila, sagnuæe ramena svoja da nosi, i plaæaæe danak.
He saw rest that it was good: and the land that it was excellent: and he bowed his shoulder to carry, and became a servant under tribute.
16 Dan æe suditi svojemu narodu, kao jedno izmeðu plemena Izrailjevih.
Dan shall judge his people like another tribe in Israel.
17 Dan æe biti zmija na putu i guja na stazi, koja ujeda konja za kièicu, te pada konjik nauznako.
Let Dan be a snake in the way, a serpent in the path, that biteth the horse’s heels that his rider may fall backward.
18 Gospode, tebe èekam da me izbaviš.
I will look for thy salvation, O Lord.
19 A Gad, njega æe vojska svladati; ali æe najposlije on nadvladati.
Gad, being girded, shall fight before him: and he himself shall be girded backward.
20 U Asira æe biti obilata hrana, i on æe davati slasti carske.
Aser, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield dainties to kings.
21 Neftalim je košuta puštena, i govoriæe lijepe rijeèi.
Nephtali, a hart let loose, and giving words of beauty.
22 Josif je rodna grana, rodna grana kraj izvora, kojoj se ogranci raširiše svrh zida.
Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and comely to behold; the daughters run to and fro upon the wall.
23 Ako ga i ucvijeliše ljuto i strijeljaše na nj, i biše mu neprijatelji strijelci,
But they that held darts provoked him, and quarrelled with him, and envied him.
24 Opet osta jak luk njegov i ojaèaše mišice ruku njegovijeh od ruku jakoga Boga Jakovljeva, odakle posta pastir, kamen Izrailju,
His bow rested upon the strong, and the bands of his arms and his hands were loosed, by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob: thence he came forth a pastor, the stone of Israel.
25 Od silnoga Boga oca tvojega, koji æe ti pomagati, i od svemoguæega, koji æe te blagosloviti blagoslovima ozgo s neba, blagoslovima ozdo iz bezdana, blagoslovima od dojaka i od materice.
The God of thy father shall be thy helper, and the Almighty shall bless thee with the blessings of heaven above, with the blessings of the deep that lieth beneath, with the blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
26 Blagoslovi oca tvojega nadvisiše blagoslove mojih starijeh svrh brda vjeènijeh, neka budu nad glavom Josifovom i nad tjemenom odvojenoga izmeðu braæe.
The blessings of thy father are strengthened with the blessings of his fathers: until the desire of the everlasting hills should come; may they be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the Nazarite among his brethren.
27 Venijamin je vuk grabljivi, jutrom jede lov, a veèerom dijeli plijen.
Benjamin a ravenous wolf, in the morning shall eat the prey, and in the evening shall divide the spoil.
28 Ovo su dvanaest plemena Izrailjevih, i ovo im otac izgovori kad ih blagoslovi, svako blagoslovom njegovijem blagoslovi ih.
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: these things their father spoke to them, and he blessed every one, with their proper blessings.
29 Potom im zapovjedi i reèe im: kad se priberem k rodu svojemu, pogrebite me kod otaca mojih u peæini koja je na njivi Efrona Hetejina,
And he charged them, saying: I am now going to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hethite,
30 U peæini koja je na njivi Makpelskoj prema Mamriji u zemlji Hananskoj, koju kupi Avram s njivom u Efrona Hetejina da ima svoj grob.
Over against Mambre in the land of Chanaan, which Abraham bought together with the field of Ephron the Hethite for a possession to bury in.
31 Ondje pogreboše Avrama i Saru ženu njegovu, ondje pogreboše Isaka i Reveku ženu njegovu, i ondje pogreboh Liju.
There they buried him, and Sara his wife: there was Isaac buried with Rebecca his wife: there also Lia doth lie buried.
32 A kupljena je njiva i peæina na njoj u sinova Hetovijeh.
33 A kad izgovori Jakov zapovjesti sinovima svojim, diže noge svoje na postelju, i umrije, i pribran bi k rodu svojemu.
And when he had ended the commandments, wherewith he instructed his sons, he drew up his feet upon the bed, and died: and he was gathered to his people.
