Genesisi 49
1 Ipapo Jakobho akadana vanakomana vake akati, “Unganai kuti ndikuudzei zvichaitika kwamuri pamazuva anouya.
UJakhobe wabiza amadodana akhe wathi: “Sondelani eduze ngilitshele lokho okuzakwenzakala kini ensukwini ezizayo.
2 “Unganai muteerere, imi vanakomana vaJakobho; teererai kuna baba venyu Israeri.
Buthanani lilalele, madodana kaJakhobe, lalelani kuyihlo u-Israyeli.
3 “Rubheni, iwe uri dangwe rangu, simba rangu, chiratidzo chokutanga chesimba rangu, unokunda mukukudzwa, unokunda musimba.
URubheni, ulizibulo lami, amandla ami, isibonakaliso sokuqala samandla ami, ukuphelela ngodumo, ukuphelela ngamandla.
4 Unozunguzika semvura zhinji, hauchazokundizve, nokuti wakakwira panhoo yababa vako, panhoo yangu uye ukaisvibisa.
Uhlokoma njengamanzi, kawusayikuba liciko, ngoba wakhwela embhedeni kayihlo, waya phezu kwesihlalo sami wasingcolisa.
5 “Simeoni naRevhi mukoma nomununʼuna, minondo yavo zvombo zvokurwa.
USimiyoni loLevi bayizelamani inkemba zabo yizikhali zodlakela.
6 Ngandirege kupinda parangano yavo, ngandirege kuva paungano yavo, nokuti vakauraya vanhu mukutsamwa kwavo uye vakagura marunda enzombe sezvavaida.
Mangingangeni enkundleni yabo, mangingangeni emhlanganweni wabo, ngoba bababulala abantu ngokuthukuthela kwabo njalo inkabi baziquma imisipha santando.
7 Kutsamwa kwavo ngakutukwe, kunotyisa zvakadai, uye hasha dzavo, dzaiva noutsinye kudai! Ndichavaparadzira muna Jakobho uye ndigovatsaura muna Israeri.
Luqalekisiwe ulaka lwabo, lwesabeka kubi, lentukuthelo yabo, ilesihluku esibi! Ngizakubachithiza kuJakhobe, njalo ngibahlakaze ko-Israyeli.
8 “Judha, hama dzako dzichakurumbidza; ruoko rwako ruchava pamitsipa yavavengi vako; vanakomana vababa vako vachakotama kwauri.
Juda, abafowenu bazakudumisa; isandla sakho sizakuba sentanyeni yezitha zakho; amadodana kayihlo azakukhothamela.
9 Uri mwana weshumba, iwe Judha; unodzoka kubva kune zvaunouraya, mwana wangu. Seshumba anonyangira uye anovata pasi, seshumbakadzi, ndiani anotsunga kumumutsa?
Ungumdlwane wesilwane, Oh Juda; uvela ekuzingeleni, ndodana yami. Njengesilwane uyacathama alale phansi, njengesilwanekazi, ngubani olesibindi sokumhlokoza?
10 Tsvimbo youshe haingabvi kuna Judha, uye mudonzvo womutongi pakati pamakumbo ake, kusvikira asvika kumuridzi wawo, uye kuteerera kwendudzi ndokwake.
Intonga yobukhosi kayiyikusuka kuJuda, loba umqwayi wombusi phakathi kwezinyawo zakhe, aze ayofika kumnini wayo lokulalela kwezizwe kukuye.
11 Achasungirira mbongoro yake pamuzambiringa, nomwana wayo padavi rakaisvonaka; achasuka nguo dzake muwaini, zvokufuka zvake muropa ramazambiringa.
Uzabophela ubabhemi wakhe evinini, inkonyane kababhemi wakhe ogatsheni oluhle; uzagezisa izembatho zakhe ngewayini, izigqoko zakhe egazini lamagrebisi.
12 Meso ake achasviba kupfuura waini, meno ake achachena kupfuura mukaka.
Amehlo akhe azathuba okudlula iwayini, amazinyo akhe abe mhlophe kulochago.
13 “Zebhuruni achagara kumahombekombe egungwa uye achava zororo rezvikepe; muganhu wake uchasvika paSidhoni.
UZebhuluni uzahlala okhunjini lolwandle abe litheku lemikhumbi; umngcele wakhe uzaqhelela eSidoni.
14 “Isakari imbongoro ine simba, ivete pasi pakati pamatanga amakwai.
U-Isakhari ulithambo likababhemi elilohlonzi olele ephahlwe ngamasaka amabili emithwalo.
15 Paanoona nzvimbo yake yokuzorora kuti yanaka sei uye kuti nyika yake inofadza sei, acharerekera pfudzi rake kumutoro uye achava mubatiri wechibharo.
Uthi nxa ebona ubuhle bendawo yakhe yokuphumula lokubukeka kwelizwe lakhe, uzakwehlisa ihlombe lakhe ukuthwala umthwalo azimisele emsebenzini wesigqili.
16 “Dhani acharuramisira vanhu vake somumwe wamarudzi aIsraeri.
UDani uzakwahlulela kahle abantu bakibo njengesinye sezizwe zako-Israyeli.
17 Dhani achava nyoka iri parutivi pomugwagwa, semhakure iri munzira, inoruma chitsitsinho chebhiza kuitira kuti mutasvi waro awire pasi neshure.
UDani uzakuba yinyoka esemgwaqweni, inhlangwana elele endleleni, eluma izithende zebhiza ukuze umgadi walo atshelele aye emuva.
18 “Ndakamirira rusununguko rwenyu, imi Jehovha.
Ngilindele ukuhlenga kwakho, Oh Thixo.
19 “Gadhi acharohwa neboka ravapambi, asi achavarova pazvitsitsinho zvavo.
UGadi uzahlaselwa liqula lamanxusa, kodwa uzabahlasela bamuphe izithende zabo.
20 “Zvokudya zvaAsheri zvichava zvakakora; achauya nezvinonaka zvakafanira madzimambo.
Ukudla kuka-Asheri kuzakuba ngokunonileyo, uzakupha okumnandi okufanele inkosi.
21 “Nafutari isheche yemhembwe yakasunungurwa, inobereka tsvana dzakaisvonaka.
UNafithali yimpalakazi ekhululiweyo ezala amazinyane amahle.
22 “Josefa muzambiringa unobereka mazambiringa, unobereka uri pedyo netsime, matavi awo anokwira pamadziro.
UJosefa ulivini elithela kakhulu, ivini elithela kakhulu eduze komthombo, elimagatsha alo akhwela emdulini.
23 Neshungu vapfuri vanomurwisa; vanomupfura noruvengo.
Abahlaseli bemitshoko bamhlasela ngolaka; bamciba ngenzondo embi.
24 Asi uta hwake hwakaramba hwakasimba, maoko ake akasimba, akagwinya, nokuda kworuoko rwaIye Anesimba waJakobho, nokuda kwoMufudzi, iye Dombo raIsraeri,
Kodwa kawalazelanga ngedandili lakhe, ingalo zakhe eziqinileyo zala zilokhu ziqinile ngenxa yesandla soMninimandla kaJakhobe, ngenxa kaMalusi, iDwala lika-Israyeli,
25 nokuda kwaMwari wababa vako anokubatsira, nokuda kwoWamasimba Ose anokuropafadza namaropafadzo okumatenga kumusoro, maropafadzo okwakadzika kuri pasi, maropafadzo amazamu neechizvaro.
ngenxa kaNkulunkulu kayihlo, okusizayo, ngenxa kaSomandla okubusisayo ngezibusiso zasezulwini ngaphezulu, izibusiso zolwandle olungaphansi, izibusiso zebele lenzalo.
26 Maropafadzo ababa vako makuru kupfuura maropafadzo amakomo ekare, kupfuura zvakawanda zvezvikomo zvamakore ekare. Zvose izvi ngazvigare pamusoro waJosefa, pamusoro womuchinda ari pakati pehama dzake.
Izibusiso zikayihlo zinkulu kulezibusiso zezintaba zekadeni, kulezithelo zamaqaqa adabuka endulo. Zonke lezi kazehlele ekhanda likaJosefa, ebunzini lenkosana phakathi kwabafowabo.
27 “Bhenjamini ibere rinoparadza; mangwanani anodya nyama, madekwana anogovera zvaapamba.”
UBhenjamini yimpisi ephangayo; ekuseni uyakudlithiza akujimbileyo, ntambama akwabe.”
28 Ava vose ndiwo marudzi gumi namaviri aIsraeri, uye izvi ndizvo zvakataurwa nababa vavo kwavari pavakavaropafadza, vachipa mumwe nomumwe kuropafadzwa kwakamufanira.
Zonke lezi yizizwana ezilitshumi lambili zako-Israyeli, njalo yikho lokho uyise akutsho kubo lapho wayebabusisa, esipha ilowo lalowo isibusiso esimfaneleyo.
29 Ipapo akavarayira akati, “Ini ndava kuzosanganiswa navanhu vokwangu. Mundivige namadzibaba angu mubako mumunda waEfuroni muHiti,
Emva kwalokho wasebanika imilayo le: “Sekusondele ukuba ngimbelwe ebantwini bakithi. Lingimbele labokhokho ebhalwini ensimini ka-Efroni umHithi,
30 bako riri mumunda weMakapera, pedyo neMamure muKenani, rakatengwa kubva kuna Efuroni naAbhurahama senzvimbo yokuviga pamwe chete nomunda.
ubhalu olusensimini kaMakhaphela, eduze leMamure eKhenani, eyathengwa ngu-Abhrahama kanye lensimu leyo ku-Efroni umHithi, ukuba yindawo yokungcwaba.
31 Ndipo pakavigwa Abhurahama nomukadzi wake Sara, ndipozve pakavigwa Isaka nomukadzi wake Rabheka, uye Rea akavigwa ipapo.
Khonapho kwangcwatshwa u-Abhrahama lomkakhe uSara, kwembelwa u-Isaka lomkakhe uRabheka, njalo khonapho ngambela uLeya.
32 Munda nebako riri mauri zvakatengwa kubva kuvaHiti.”
Insimu kanye lobhalu oluphakathi kwathengwa kumaHithi.”
33 Jakobho akati apedza kurayira vanakomana vake, akadzora tsoka dzake mumubhedha, akabudisa mweya wake akasanganiswa navanhu vokwake.
Kwathi uJakhobe eseqedile ukunika imilayezo emadodaneni akhe, wakhweza inyawo zakhe embhedeni, waphefumula okokucina, wasiwa kwabakibo.
