In to their secrettes come not my soule and vnto their congregation be my honoure not coupled: for in their wrath they slewe a man and in their selfewill they houghed an oxe.

23 Kwa uchungu wapiga mshale walimshambulia, wakampiga mshale kwa ukatili.
The shoters haue envyed him and chyde with him ad hated him
24 Lakini upinde wake ulibaki imara, mikono yake ikatiwa nguvu, na mkono wa Mwenye Nguvu wa Yakobo, kwa sababu ya Mchungaji, Mwamba wa Israeli,
and yet his bowe bode fast and his armes and his handes were stronge by the handes of the myghtye God of Iacob: out of him shall come an herde ma a stone in Israel.
25 kwa sababu ya Mungu wa baba yako, anayekusaidia, kwa sababu ya Mwenyezi, yeye anayekubariki kwa baraka za mbinguni juu, baraka za kilindi kilichoko chini, baraka za matitini na za tumbo la uzazi.
Thi fathers God shall helpe the and the almightie shall blesse the with blessinges from heaven aboue and with blessinges of the water that lieth vnder and with blessinges of the brestes and of the wombe.
26 Baraka za baba yako ni kubwa kuliko baraka za milima ya kale, nyingi kuliko vilima vya kale. Baraka hizo zote na zikae juu ya kichwa cha Yosefu, juu ya paji la yule mkuu miongoni mwa ndugu zake.

28 Haya yote ndiyo makabila kumi na mawili ya Israeli, na hivi ndivyo baba yao alivyowaambia alipowabariki, akimpa kila mmoja baraka inayomfaa.
All these are the. xij. tribes of Israel and this is that which their father spake vnto them whe he blessed them euery man with a severall blessinge.
29 Ndipo alipowapa maelekezo haya: “Mimi niko karibu kukusanywa kwa watu wangu. Mnizike pamoja na baba zangu kwenye pango katika shamba la Efroni, Mhiti,
And he charged them and sayde vnto them. I shall be put vnto my people: se that ye burye me with my fathers in the caue that is in the felde of Ephron the Hethyte
30 pango lililoko katika shamba la Makpela, karibu na Mamre huko Kanaani, ambalo Abrahamu alinunua kwa ajili ya mahali pa kuzikia kutoka kwa Efroni, Mhiti, pamoja na shamba.
in the double caue that is in the felde before Mamre in the lande of Canaan. Which felde Abraham boughte of Ephron the Hethite for a possessio to burye in.
31 Huko ndiko Abrahamu na Sara mkewe walikozikwa, huko akazikwa Isaki na Rebeka mkewe, na huko nilimzika Lea.
There they buryed Abraha and Sara his wyfe there they buryed Isaac and Rebecca his wyfe. And there I buried Lea:
32 Shamba hilo na pango lililoko ndani yake lilinunuliwa kutoka kwa Wahiti.”
which felde and the caue that is therin was bought of the childern of Heth.
33 Baada ya Yakobo kumaliza kutoa maelekezo hayo kwa wanawe, akarudisha miguu yake kitandani, akapumua pumzi ya mwisho, na akakusanywa kwa watu wake.
When Iacob had commaunded all that he wold vnto his sonnes be plucked vp his fete apon the bedd and dyed and was put vnto his people.
