Genesis 49
1 Jacob summoned all his sons, and said to them,
Jacob el pangoneni wen natul ac fahk, “Kilukeni nu yuruk, ac nga fah fahk nu suwos ma ac sikyak nu suwos ke pacl fahsru uh:
2 “Gather around me in order that I can tell you what will happen in the future. My sons, come and listen to me. I am your father, [Jacob, whom God named] Israel.
“Fahsreni nu sie, wen natul Jacob, ac porongo. Porongo kas lal Israel, papa tomowos.
3 Reuben, you are my oldest son. You were born when I was young and energetic/strong. You are prouder and stronger than all the rest of my sons.
“Reuben, wounse mukul nutik, kom pa ku luk, Kom pa fahko se emeet ke pacl in fusr luk. Kom pa fwacfa ac watwen sin wen nutik nukewa.
4 But you were as uncontrollable as a flood [SIM]. So now you will not be my most important son, because you climbed up onto my bed, and had sex with [MTY] my (concubine/slave who had become one of my wives). Your doing that caused me, your father, to have great shame.
Kom oana sie sronot fokoko, Tusruktu ac tia kom pa yohk sripa oemeet, Mweyen kom tuh ona yurin mutan kulansap kiuk Ac aktaekyala mwe oan lun papa tomom.
5 Simeon and Levi, you have both acted like criminals. You use your swords to act violently.
“Simeon ac Levi eltal tamulel. Eltal orekmakin mwe anwuk natultal in orek lokoalok sulallal.
6 I do not want to be with you when you make evil plans [DOU]. I do not want to join you in your meetings, because you killed people when you became very angry, and you (hamstrung/cut the tendons in the legs of) oxen just to (have fun/see them suffer).
Nga fah tia welultal in sramsram lukma laltal, Ac tia pac welultal ke pacl in pwapa laltal, Mweyen kasrkusrak laltal som nwe ke sun uniya mwet, Ac eltal aksukapasyela cow mukul oana mwe pwar.
7 God says, ‘I will (curse/cause bad things to happen to) them for being very angry, for acting very cruelly when they were very furious. I will scatter their descendants [MTY] throughout Israel land.’
Lela in selngawiyuk kasrkusrak laltal, mweyen arulana upala, Ac nu fin folo laltal, mweyen arulana sulallal. Nga fah luseloselik fin acn Israel nufon. Nga fah siseloselik nu inmasrlon mwet Israel.
8 Judah, your [older and younger] brothers will praise you. They will bow down before you, because you will thoroughly defeat [MTY] your enemies.
“Judah, mwet lim fah kaksakin kom. Poum fah iseya kwawen mwet lokoalok lom. Mwet lim fah pasrla ye motom.
9 Judah is like a young lion [SIM] that has returned to its den satisfied after eating the animals that it has killed. He is like a lion that lies down and stretches out after eating; no one would dare to disturb it [RHQ].
Judah el oana soko lion. El uniya ma el sruokya uh, folokla nu in luf sel, Ac asrosrelik ona. Wangin mwet pulaik in lusrongol.
10 There will always be a ruler [MTY] from the descendants of Judah [MTY]. Each one will hold a scepter/staff to show that he has authority as a king. He will do that until the one to whom the scepter belongs comes, the one to whom the nations will bring tribute and show that they will obey him.
Scepter lun tokosra ac fah oanna sel Judah, Ac fwilin tulik natul fah leum fin mwet Israel pacl nukewa. Mutanfahl ac fah use mwe takma nu sel, Ac pasrla ye mutal ac aksol.
11 The grapevines of Judah’s descendants will produce grapes very abundantly. As a result, they will not object to tying their young donkeys to the grapevines in order that the donkeys can eat the leaves of the grapevines. [Wine will be very plentiful, with the result that] they could wash their cloaks in wine that is as red as blood [MET].
El kapriya donkey fusr natul nu ke soko oa in grape, Nu ke oa in grape soko ma wo emeet. El oul nuknuk lal in wain su srusra oana srah.
12 Their eyes will be red because of [drinking too much] wine, but their teeth will be very white because of drinking much milk [from the cows].
Atronmutal srusrala ke nim wain; Ac wihsel fasrfasrla ke nim milk.
13 Zebulun, your descendants will live by the seashore where there will be a safe harbor for ships. Their land will extend north as far as Sidon [city].
“Zebulon el ac fah muta sisken meoa. Molsron in acn sel ac fah acn in kawuk lun oak lulap, Ac masrol lun acn sel ac fah sun acn Sidon.
14 Issachar, your descendants will be like strong donkeys that are lying down on the ground between their loads, [so tired that they cannot get up]!
Issachar el tia ekla liki soko donkey fokoko Ma alsrangesr ac oanna inmasrlon mwe utuk lal.
15 They will see that their resting place is good, and that the land pleases them very much. But they will bend their backs to carry heavy loads and be forced to work for others.
A el liye lah acn in mongla uh wona Ac facl sac pwar na, Ouinge el kuruweni fintokol in us mwe utuk toasr uh, Ac kumakinyuk el in orekma oana sie mwet kohs.
16 Dan, although your tribe will be small, their leaders will rule their people just like the leaders of other tribes of Israel will rule their people.
“Dan el ac fah sie mwet kol nu sin mwet lal. Elos ac fah oana sruf saya lun Israel.
17 Your descendants will be like snakes at the side of a road, like poisonous snakes lying beside a path. They will strike the heels of horses that pass by, causing the riders to fall backwards [as the horses rear up on their hind legs].”
Dan el ac fah oana soko wet ma oan sisken inkanek uh, Soko wet pwasin pe inkanek srisrik uh, Su sro ac ngalis nien horse uh, Ac oru tuh mwet muta fin horse uh in usrukyukla.
18 Then Jacob prayed, “Yahweh, I am waiting for you to rescue me [from my enemies].”
“LEUM GOD, nga tupan molela lom.
19 [Then Jacob continued telling his sons what would happen in the future. He said], “Gad, your tribe/descendants will be attacked by a group of bandits, but your tribe/descendants will pursue and attack them [MTY].
“Un mwet pusrapasr se ac fah anwuk nu sel Gad, Tusruktu el fah forla ac ukwalos.
20 Asher, your descendants will eat good-tasting food; they will produce food that is delicious enough for kings to eat.
“Facl sel Asher ac fah oswe fokinsak wowo. Kain mwe mongo ma fal nu sin tokosra ac fah tuku yorol me.
21 Naphtali, your descendants will be like deer [MET] that are (free to/not tied down and can) run wherever they wish. They will give birth to children who are good-looking like (fawns/baby deer) [MET].
“Naphtali el oana soko deer lemnak ma kasrusr sukosok, Su oswe natu fusr na wowo.
22 Joseph, you will have many descendants [MET]. Their children will be as many as the fruit on a vine near a spring of water, whose branches extend over a wall.
“Joseph el oana soko fain na ungung ma kap sisken infacl srisrik uh, Ac oa kac uh fanukya fin pot uh.
23 Their enemies will attack them fiercely, and shoot at them with bows and arrows and pursue them.
Mwet lokoalok lal ah mweunel upana, Ac ukwal ke mwe pisr ac sukan pisr natulos.
24 But they will hold their bows steady and their arms will remain strong, because of the power [MTY] of my mighty God, because of Yahweh who guides and provides for me [MET] like a shepherd guides and provides for his sheep. The people of Israel will [ask Yahweh to protect them], [like people hide under] a huge [overhanging] to be protected.
Tusruktu mwe pisr natul uh tiana mukuikui, Ac paol akkeyeyuk ac aksuwosyeyuk Ke ku lun God Kulana lal Jacob, Su Mwet Shepherd ac Mwet Loango lun Israel.
25 God, the one whom I worship, will help your descendants. God Almighty will bless them by sending them rain from the sky and by giving them water from deep/far below the ground. He will give them many cattle and children [MET] (OR, and their cattle will have many offspring).
God lun papa tomom pa kasrekom, God Kulana pa akinsewowoye kom Ke mwe insewowo ke af lucng me Ac ke kof loal ye faclu, Mwe insewowo ke tulik puspis ac ke un kosro puspis,
26 The blessings that I want God to give you are great ones. They are greater than the blessings that come from the eternal mountains, greater than the ones that come from the everlasting hills. Joseph, I pray that these blessings will (be given to you/come upon your head), because you are the leader of your [older] brothers [and younger brother].
Mwe insewowo ke wheat ac ke ros uh, Mwe insewowo ke eol ma oan oemeet me, Ac ke ma wolana su tuku ke eol srisrik su ac oan nwe tok. Lela mwe insewowo inge in oan fin sifal Joseph, Fin mutunsron sie su pisrla inmasrlon mwet wial.
27 Benjamin, your descendants will be like [MET] vicious/fierce wolves: In the morning they will kill their enemies like a wolf devours (its prey/the animals that it has killed), and in the evening they will divide among their warriors the spoils that they seized from their enemies.”
“Benjamin el oana wolf sulallal soko El uniya ac okomla ma nal ke lotu ac eku.”
28 Those twelve sons are the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. That is what their father said to them as he blessed them, telling to each one words that were appropriate for him.
Sruf singoul luo lun Israel pa inge, ac pa inge kas in wilkas lun papa tumalos ke el sang kas in akinsewowo lal nu selos, fal nu sin kais sie selos.
29 Then Jacob said to his sons, “I will soon die. Bury my body where some of my ancestors are buried, in the cave that is in the field that was bought from Ephron, who belonged to the Heth people-group.
Na Jacob el sapkin nu sin wen natul nukewa, “Inge ke nga ac misa ac som weang mwet luk somla, komtal fah pukinyuwi yurin papa tumuk in luf se ma oan ke acn sel Ephron mwet Hit,
30 That field is in the Machpelah area, east of Mamre [town], in Canaan. My grandfather Abraham bought it from Ephron to use as a burial place.
in acn Machpelah, kutulap in Mamre in acn Canaan. Abraham el tuh molela luf sac ac ipin acn sac sel Ephron tuh in sie acn in kulyuk.
31 That is where they buried him and his wife Sarah. That is where they buried my father Isaac and his wife Rebekah. And that is where I buried my wife Leah.
Acn se inge pa elos piknilya Abraham ac Sarah, mutan kial, we. Acn sac pacna pa elos piknilya Isaac ac Rebecca, mutan kial ah, we, ac pa pac nga piknilya Leah we ah.
32 That field and the cave in it were bought from the Heth people-group; so that is where I want you to bury me.”
Acn sac ac luf se we ah, ma moulla sin mwet Hit. Pikinyuwi we.”
33 When Jacob finished giving those instructions to his sons, he lay down on his bed again. Then he died [IDM].
Ke safla kas in wilwil lal nu sin wen natul nukewa, na el topla ona ac misa.
