Kinohi 49
1 KAHEA aku la o Iakoba i kana mau keikikane, i aku la, E houluulu mai ia oukou iho i hai aku ai au ia oukou i na mea e hiki mai ana io oukou la i na la mahope.
And Jacob called his sons, and said to them,
2 E houluulu mai ia oukou iho, e lohe, e na keiki a Iakoba; e hoolohe mai ia Iseraela i ko oukou makuakane.
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 E Reubena e, o oe no ka'u hiapo, o ko'u ikaika, a me ka hoomaka ana o ka ui o'u; ke kela ana i ka hanohano, ke kela ana i ka mana:
Ruben, you [are] my firstborn, you my strength, and the first of my children, hard to be endured, [hard and] self-willed.
4 He hu wale me he wai la, aole oe e kela aku, no ka mea, pii aku la oe i ka moe o kou makuakane: alaila oe i hoohaumia iho ai: pii aka la ia i kuu wahi moe.
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 O Simeona laua o Levi, he mau hoahanau laua: aia na mea hoomainoino ma ko laua hoolimalima.
Symeon and Levi, brethren, accomplished the injustice of their cutting off.
6 Ma ko laua wahi ohumu aole e hele aku kuu uhane, ma ko laua halawai aole e hui pu ia'ku ko'u naui: no ka mea, no ko laua inaina pepehi iho la laua i ke kanaka, a no ko laua makemake oki iho la laua i ke olona wawae o ka bipi.
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 E hoinoia ka laua inaina, no ka mea, he ino ia, a me ko laua huhu, no ka mea, he koikoi ia: e mahelehele au ia laua iloko o ka Iakoba, a e hoopuehu au in laua iloko o ka Iseraela.
Cursed be their wrath, for it was willful, and their anger, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 E Iuda e, o oe ka mea a na hoahanau ou e hoomaikai ai: o kou lima, aia no ia ma ka a-i o kou poe enemi; e kulou iho hoi na keiki a kou makuakane imua on.
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 He keiki a ka liona o Iuda, ua pii ae oe, e kuu keiki, mai ke pio ae: kukuli iho la ia, a moe iho la me he liona kane la, a me ka liona wahine; nawai ia e hoala ae?
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 Aole e lilo aku ke kookeo alii mai o Iuda aku, aole hoi ka mea webewehe kanawai maiwaena aku o kona mau wawae, a hiki mai ai o Silo; a ia ia ke akoakoa ana ae o na kanaka.
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 E hikii ana i kana keikihoki i ke kumuwaina, a me ke keiki a ka hokiwahine i ke kumuwaina maikai, holoi iho la ia i kona kapa i ka waina, a me kona aahu i ke koko o ka huawaina.
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 E ulaula kona mau maka i ka waina, e keokeo hoi kona mau niho i ka waiu.
His eyes shall be more cheering than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
13 E noho auanei o Zebuluna ma ke kahakai; oia no ke kahakai no na moku; a e hiki aku kona palena i Sidona.
Zabulon shall dwell on the coast, and he [shall be] by a haven of ships, and shall extend to Sidon.
14 He hoki ikaika no o Isakara e moe ana mawaena o na halemalumalu:
Issachar has desired that which is good; resting between the inheritances.
15 Ike iho la ia i ka maha he maikai ia, a i ka aina he oluolu ia, kulon iho la ia i kona hokua i ka ukana, a lilo iho la ia i kauwn e auhauia'i.
And having seen the resting place that it was good, and the land that it was fertile, he subjected his shoulder to labor, and became a husbandman.
16 E hooponopono o Dana i kona hanauna a kanaka, e like me kekahi o na ohana o Iseraela.
Dan shall judge his people, as one tribe too in Israel.
17 He nahesa o Dana ma kapa alanui, he moolele ma ke ala; nana e nahu aku na kuekuewawae o ka lio, a e haule hope iho ka mea e hooholo ana ia ia.
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 Ua kali au i kou hoola ana, e Iehova.
waiting for the salvation of the Lord.
19 O Gada, e lanakila mai ka poe kaua maluna ona, aka, e lanakila aku oia ma ka hope.
Gad, a plundering troop shall plunder him; but he shall plunder him, [pursuing him] closely.
20 Mai Asera mai kana ai momona, a e haawi aku ia i na mea ono na na'lii.
Aser, his bread [shall be] fat; and he shall yield dainties to princes.
21 O Napetali, he diawahine ia i kalaia'ku; ke hua mai nei ia i na huaolelo maikai.
Nephthalim is a spreading stem, bestowing beauty on its fruit.
22 He lala hua o Iosepa, he lala hua ma ka punawai: ke kolo ae nei na lala ona maluna o ka pa.
Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me.
23 Ua hooeha nui mai, a ua pana mai hoi na mea pana ia ia, a ua inaina mai lakou ia ia.
Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached [him], and the archers pressed hard upon him.
24 Aka, ua mau no kona kakaka i ka ikaika, a ua hooikaikaia kona mau lima e na lima o ka Mea mana o Iakoba; (nolaila mai ke kahuhipa, ka pohaku no Iseraela; )
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 E ke Akua o kou makua, nana oe e kokua mai; e ka Mea mana loa hoi, nana oe e hoomaikai mai i na mea maikai o ka lani iluna, a o ka hohonu ilalo, i na mea maikai o ka u, a o ka opu.
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 Ua oi aku ka hoomaikai ana o kou makuakane maluna o na hoomaikai ana o na mauna mau, a hiki aku hoi i na mokuna o na puu kahiko loa: maluna no auanei ia o ke poo o Iosepa, a maluna hoi o ka piko o ke poo o ka mea i hookaawaleia ae mai koua poe hanauna aku.
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.
27 E haehae o Beniamina me he iliohae la, i ke kakahiaka e ai iho ia i ke pio, a i ke ahiahi e puunaue ia i ka waiwai pio.
Benjamin, as a ravening wolf, shall eat still in the morning, and at evening he gives food.
28 O keia poe a pau, o ka poe ohana ia a Iseraela he umikumamalua: a oia ka mea a ko lakou makuakane i olelo mai ai ia lakou, a i hoomaikai mai ai ia lakou; i kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me ka hoomaikai ana, ana i hoomaikai mai ai ia lakou.
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 Kauoha aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, E huipu ana au me ko'u poe makua: e kanu pu hoi oukou la'u me na makua o'u ma ke ana maloko o ke kula o Eperona, no ka Heta,
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 Ma ke ana iloko o ke kula ma Makepela, ma ke alo o Mamere, ma ka aina o Kanaana, o ke kula a Aberahama i kuai ai me Eperona, no ka Heta, i wahi ilina kupapau nona.
in the double cave which is opposite Mambre, in the land of Chanaan, the cave which Abraam bought of Ephron the Chettite, for a possession of a sepulchre.
31 Malaila lakou i kanu ai ia Aberahama, a me kana wahine me Sara, a malaila lakou i kanu ai ia Isaaka a me kana wahine mo Rebeka, a malaila hoi au i kanu ai ia Lea.
There they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife; there they buried Isaac, and Rebecca his wife; there they buried Lea;
32 Ua kuaiia ke kula, a me ke ana iloko me na mamo a Heta.
in the portion of the field, and of the cave that was in it, [purchased] of the sons of Chet.
33 A pau ka Iakoba kauoha ana i kana poe keiki, opili ae la ia i kona mau wawae maluna o kahi moe, kaili aku la ke aho, a huipu ia iho la ia me kona poe makua.
And Jacob ceased giving charges to his sons; and having lifted up his feet on the bed, he died, and was gathered to his people.
