< Genesis 49 >

1 Then Jacob summoned his sons, and said: "Gather yourselves together so that I may tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.
Basa naa ma, Yakob denu roꞌe basa ana nara. Ara rema ma, nafadꞌe nae, “Ana nggare! Ima miꞌibꞌue deka mo au dei. Au ae ufadꞌe hei esa-esaꞌ dala masodꞌa na sia fai maꞌabui na.”
2 Assemble yourselves and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
Basa ma Yakob nafadꞌe memaꞌ ana nara nae, “Taꞌo ia! Yakob ana nara! Ima, mimbiriiꞌ rereoꞌ au. Rena ama ma Israꞌel oꞌolaꞌ na.
3 Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength, and the the firstfruits of my virility, preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power.
Ruben! Ho ia, au ana ulu ngga! Au teteas ngga, ma lima ona ngga. Atahori fee hadat lenaꞌ neu nggo.
4 Uncontrolled as the waters, you will not have excel, because you went up to your father's bed, you went up and defiled my couch.
Te rala ma nda matetuꞌ sa, nda mitaꞌ mae hihii-nanau ma bee sa boe, onaꞌ tasiꞌ ree na neu-nema. Aiboiꞌ ma, muu sungguꞌ mo sao ngga Bilha, de munggenggeo ama ma koi na. Naa de, ho panggat aꞌa ma mopo e.
5 Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
Simeon ma Lewi! Hei ruꞌa nggi ona esaꞌ, huu ama akaꞌ mae mitati, tao miꞌisususaꞌ atahori.
6 May I never enter their council. May my honor never be joined with their assembly. For in their anger they killed men, and for pleasure they hamstrung oxen.
Hei maꞌahe tati miꞌetuꞌ sapi ra ei ua nara, fo ara sorereo reuꞌ a mamana nara. Hei deꞌulaka mara fai, hei miminasa seli ma henggu nisi mara, losa misa atahori ra. Naa de, au nda nau rena hei oꞌola mara sa. Au o nda nau sambor o hei dedꞌea ma sa.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it has been fierce, and their fury, for it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
De ia naa, au sumba-ndoo nasaborii mara, huu naseliꞌ ena. Ma nasa mara nda miꞌena sue-laiꞌ mbei sa boe. Dei fo mesaꞌ nggi lemba-dꞌoi deꞌulaka mara naa. Lamatualain mbia-nggari tititi-nonosi mara, fo ara leo nggari-nggari sudꞌiꞌ a bee reu sia rae Israꞌel.
8 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.
Yahuda! Nara ma sosoa na nae ‘koa-kio’. Dei fo odꞌi-aꞌa mara koa ma fee hadat neu nggo. Boe ma ho tuni-ndeni musu mara, losa ara nda botiꞌ rala langga nara sa.
9 Judah is a lion's cub. From the prey, my son, you rise up. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?
Ho onaꞌ a meoaku manaseliꞌ, sangga nanaat ao ma. Meoaku mone lea ao na fo nae sungguꞌ, ma nda hambu atahori rambarani reti ngganggu sa. Meoaku ine nanea ana na, ma nda hambu atahori rambarani reti ngganggu sa. Atahori o ramatau nggo, de nda rambarani tao mataꞌ-mataꞌ neu nggo sa.
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. And it is he whom the peoples will obey.
Dei fo ho ia, toꞌu parendaꞌ. Tititi-nonosi mara boe o toꞌu parendaꞌ tungga-tungga, losa esa mana naena hak manaseliꞌ endoꞌ toꞌu parendaꞌ naa. Basa leo ra ramahere ma rena e.
11 Binding his foal to the vine, and his donkey's colt to the choice vine. He will wash his garments in wine, and his robes in the blood of grapes.
Dei fo musodꞌa no nemehoꞌot. Hii saa, naa, akaꞌ a sia. Mae tao saa o, dadꞌiꞌ a. Banda mara, no osi ra mbule-bꞌoa nara o nae na seli, losa leꞌa-nggari.
12 His eyes will be darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
Ho nana-nininu mara, maladꞌa-maladꞌaꞌ, nda basa-bꞌasa sa.
13 Zebulun will dwell at the seashore, and he will be a harbor for ships, and his border will be at Sidon.
Sebulon! Ho rae-oe mara loa na seli, deka noꞌ a tasiꞌ, natooꞌ no kota Sidꞌon. Ofai mia bee-bꞌee rema nggari nafuꞌ no leo nenee sia namo ma.
14 Issachar is a strong donkey lying down between the saddlebags.
Isaskar! Ho ia, onaꞌ banda keledei maꞌadereꞌ, huu langga fatu ma nda nenelabꞌan sa. Mete ma keledei luꞌu sia dalaꞌ taladꞌa na, esa o nda bisa nafefelaꞌ e sa, fo laoꞌ nakandoo fai. Mete ma keledei nita kambo maloleꞌ sia seriꞌ na, naa, nda denu sa o, lemba nala neꞌefufuan fo lao neuꞌ ena. Ho, onaꞌ naa boe.
15 When he sees a good resting place, that the land is pleasant, he will bend his back to the burden, and become a slave doing forced labor.
16 Dan will judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan! Nara ma sosoa na ‘mana nggero’. Ho ia, mo tititi-nonosi mara, dei fo miꞌetuꞌ Israꞌel ra dedꞌea nda misilaꞌe esa saꞌ boe.
17 Dan will be a serpent on the road, a viper by the path, that bites the horse's heels so that his rider falls backward.
Ho ia onaꞌ mengge mana sungguꞌ sia dalaꞌ suu na. Mete ma atahori sae ndara tungga naa, aiboiꞌ na, mengge a ero ndara ei na, de atahori naa tudꞌa. Ho o muꞌutetee hahambuꞌ, naa mata muu.
18 I wait for your salvation, God.
LAMATUALAIN! Au hule-huleꞌ fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu basa hai.
19 Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will raid at their heels.
Gad! Nara ma lii na naeꞌ a onaꞌ a ‘netati’. Dei fo mana rambok ra ratati ro nggo, te mutati musenggiꞌ se.
20 Asher's food will be rich, and he will provide royal delicacies.
Aser! Dei fo osi mara mbule-bꞌoa nara malole na seli. Losa ho bisa tao kokis mataꞌ-mataꞌ, fo maneꞌ ra rema hasa sia nggo.
21 Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.
Naftali! Ho ia, onaꞌ banda rusa ine mana nela fuiꞌ, huu nda hambu atahori ralalao nggo sa. Ho o bꞌonggi mala ana mara akaꞌ a meulauꞌ ra.
22 Joseph is a fruitful son, a fruitful son by a spring. His branches run over a wall.
Yusuf! Ho onaꞌ hau huu mana malonggeꞌ nasodꞌa deka no oe mataꞌ. Ho dꞌana mara nama risiꞌ lutu naruꞌ.
23 The archers will attack him with bitterness, and shoot at him, and harass him.
Hambu atahori fua rala mera nara neu nggo, onaꞌ musu a busu nggo.
24 Yet his bow will remain steady, and his arms will be made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
Te Lamatualain fo au umuhereꞌ a, tulu-fali nggo. Ana tao lima ma maꞌadereꞌ, fo busu labꞌan baliꞌ se. Mae mia dꞌoo-dꞌooꞌ o, ho musenggiꞌ se, huu Lamatualain tulun nggo. Koasa Na memaꞌ manaseliꞌ tebꞌe. De au umuhena E, huu Ana mana nanea au.
25 by the God of your father, who will help you, and El Shaddai, who will bless you with blessings of the sky above, blessings of the deep that lies below, and blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
Dei fo Ana nanea nggo. Ana fee nggo papala-babꞌanggiꞌ mia lalai ma raefafoꞌ. Ana o fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fo bꞌonggi anaꞌ ao meulauꞌ hetar.
26 The blessings of your father are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, and the bounty of the everlasting hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, and on the brow of the prince among his brothers.
Mbuku-leteꞌ ra nda mopo sa. Ma au papala-babꞌanggi ngga ia, naeꞌ lenaꞌ basa papala-babꞌanggi mia mbuku-leteꞌ ra! Basa papala-babꞌanggiꞌ ia ra, mbori-mboꞌa neu nggo, huu ho manaseliꞌ lenaꞌ odꞌi-aꞌa mara.
27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey, and at evening he will divide the plunder."
Benyamin! Mbarani ma onaꞌ busa fui mana ndoeꞌ. Feꞌe fefetuꞌ, ana neu sombu nala nanaat na ena. Te mete ma tetembaꞌ, ana neu babanggi sisa-sisa nara, fee ana nara. Tititi-nonosi mara o manaseliꞌ onaꞌ naa boe!”
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them. He blessed each one with his own individual blessing.
No taꞌo naa, Yakob nafadꞌe memaꞌ ana nara dala masodꞌa nara sia fai maꞌabui na, esa-esaꞌ no tititi-nonosi na. Basa se mana raꞌondaꞌ leo Israꞌel kasanahulu ruaꞌ ra.
29 Then he instructed them, and said to them, "I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hethite,
Basa boe ma, Yakob noꞌe ana nara fo helu nae, “Nda dooꞌ sa te, au mate. Mete ma au mate, naa hei musi miꞌoi au sia Baꞌi Abraham rates na. Rates naa sia luat, deka no kambo Makpela no Mamre sia rae Kanaꞌan. Maꞌahulu na, Baꞌi Abraham hasa luat naa no osi fo tao neu mamana rates. Ana hasa etu mia atahori Het, naran Efron.
30 in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is near Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the field from Ephron the Hethite as a burial place.
31 There they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah. There they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and there I buried Leah.
Sia naa raꞌoi hita baꞌi Abraham no bei Sara, ma ama ngga Isak no ina ngga Ribka. Dadꞌi hei musi miꞌoi au sia naa, sia sao ngga Lea bobꞌoa na.
32 The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the sons of Heth."
De hei afiꞌ liliiꞌ miꞌoi au sia luat fo baꞌi Abraham hasa nalaꞌ naa.”
33 When Jacob finished instructing his sons, he drew his legs up into the bed and breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.
Yakob olaꞌ basa ma, ana sungguꞌ bali neu koi, ma mate e boe.
