1 Mojzes 49
1 Jakob je svojim sinovom zaklical in rekel: »Zberite se skupaj, da vam bom lahko povedal to, kar vas bo doletelo v poslednjih dneh.
And Jacob called his sons, and said to them,
2 Zberite se skupaj in poslušajte, vi, Jakobovi sinovi in prisluhnite Izraelu, svojemu očetu.
Assemble yourselves, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear me, sons of Jacob; hear Israel, hear your father.
3 Ruben, ti si moj prvorojenec, moja mogočnost in začetek moje moči, odličnost dostojanstva in odličnost moči,
Ruben, you [are] my firstborn, you my strength, and the first of my children, hard to be endured, [hard and] self-willed.
4 nestabilen kakor voda, ti se ne boš odlikoval. Ker si odšel k postelji svojega očeta, takrat si jo omadeževal. Dvignil se je k mojemu ležišču.
You were insolent like water, burst not forth with violence, for you went up to the bed of your father; then you defiled the couch, whereupon you went up.
5 Simeon in Lévi sta brata, sredstva krutosti so v njunih prebivališčih.
Symeon and Levi, brethren, accomplished the injustice of their cutting off.
6 Oh moja duša, ne pridi v njuno skrivnost, v njun zbor, moja čast, ne bodi združena, kajti v svoji jezi sta usmrtila človeka in v svoji svojevoljnosti sta spodkopala zid.
Let not my soul come into their counsel, and let not mine inward parts contend in their conspiracy, for in their wrath they killed men, and in their passion they houghed a bull.
7 Prekleta bodi njuna jeza, kajti bila je kruta in njun srd, kajti bil je neizprosen. Razdelil ju bom v Jakobu in razkropil v Izraelu.
Cursed be their wrath, for it was wilful, and their anger, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 Juda, ti si ta, ki ga bodo tvoji bratje hvalili. Tvoja roka bo na vratu tvojih sovražnikov, otroci tvojega očeta se bodo priklanjali pred teboj.
Juda, your brethren have praised you, and your hands shall be on the back of your enemies; your father's sons shall do you reverence.
9 Juda je levji mladič. Od plena, moj sin, si se dvignil. Sklonil se je, ležal kakor lev in kakor star lev; kdo ga bo prebudil?
Juda is a lion's whelp: from the tender plant, my son, you are gone up, having couched you lie as a lion, and as a whelp; who shall stir him up?
10 Žezlo ne bo odšlo od Juda niti palica zakona izmed njegovih stopal, dokler ne pride Šilo in k njemu bo zbiranje ljudstva.
A ruler shall not fail from Juda, nor a prince from his loins, until there come the things stored up for him; and he is the expectation of nations.
11 Privezujoč svojega oslička k trti in svojega osličjega žrebeta k izbrani trti, je svoje obleke opral v vinu in svoja oblačila v krvi grozdnih jagod.
Binding his foal to the vine, and the foal of his ass to the branch [of it], he shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape.
12 Njegove oči bodo rdeče od vina in njegovi zobje beli od mleka.
His eyes shall be more cheering than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
13 Zábulon bo prebival pri morskem zavetju in bo za zavetje ladjam in njegova meja bo do Sidóna.
Zabulon shall dwell on the coast, and he [shall be] by a haven of ships, and shall extend to Sidon.
14 Isahár je močan osel, počivajoč med dvema bremenoma.
Issachar has desired that which is good; resting between the inheritances.
15 Videl je, da je bil počitek dober in da je bila dežela prijetna in sklonil svojo ramo, da prenaša in postal služabnik davku.
And having seen the resting place that it was good, and the land that it was fertile, he subjected his shoulder to labour, and became a husbandman.
16 Dan bo sodil svoje ljudstvo kakor enega izmed Izraelovih rodov.
Dan shall judge his people, as one tribe too in Israel.
17 Dan bo kača ob poti, gad na stezi, ki piči konjska kopita, tako da bo njegov jezdec padel vznak.
And let Dan be a serpent in the way, besetting the path, biting the heel of the horse (and the rider shall fall backward),
18 Pričakoval sem tvojo rešitev duše, oh Gospod.
waiting for the salvation of the Lord.
19 Gad, krdelo ga bo premagalo, toda nazadnje bo on premagal.
Gad, a plundering troop shall plunder him; but he shall plunder him, [pursuing him] closely.
20 Iz Aserja bo njegov kruh zajeten in oskrboval bo kraljeve slaščice.
Aser, his bread [shall be] fat; and he shall yield dainties to princes.
21 Neftáli je spuščena košuta. On daje ljubke besede.
Nephthalim is a spreading stem, bestowing beauty on its fruit.
22 Jožef je rodovitna veja, rodovitna veja pri vodnjaku, čigar mladike segajo preko zidu.
Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me.
23 Lokostrelci so ga boleče užalostili, streljali nanj in ga sovražili.
Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached [him], and the archers pressed hard upon him.
24 Toda njegov lok je ostal v moči in lakti njegovih rok so bili okrepljeni z rokami mogočnega Jakobovega Boga (od tam je pastir, Izraelov kamen),
But their bow and arrows were mightily consumed, and the sinews of their arms were slackened by the hand of the mighty one of Jacob; thence is he that strengthened Israel from the God of your father;
25 celó z Bogom svojih očetov, ki ti bo pomagal in z Vsemogočnim, ki te bo blagoslovil z blagoslovi z neba od zgoraj, blagoslovi iz globine, ki leži spodaj, blagoslovi prsi in maternice.
and my God helped you, and he blessed you with the blessing of heaven from above, and the blessing of the earth possessing all things, because of the blessing of the breasts and of the womb,
26 Blagoslovi tvojega očeta so prevladali nad blagoslovi mojih prednikov do skrajne meje večnih hribov. Ti bodo na Jožefovi glavi in na têmenu tistega, ki je bil ločen od svojih bratov.
the blessings of your father and your mother—it has prevailed above the blessing of the lasting mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the head of the brothers of whom he took the lead.

All these [are] the twelve sons of Jacob; and their father spoke these words to them, and he blessed them; he blessed each of them according to his blessing.
29 Zapovedal jim je in jim rekel: »Jaz bom zbran k svojemu ljudstvu. Pokopljite me z mojimi očeti v votlini, ki je na polju Hetejca Efróna,
And he said to them, I am added to my people; you shall bury me with my fathers in the cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Chettite,
30 v votlini, ki je na polju Mahpéli, ki je pred Mamrejem, v kánaanski deželi, ki jo je Abraham kupil s poljem Hetejca Efróna za posest in grobišče.
