< Genesis 49 >

1 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:
And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: 'Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the end of days.
2 “Fahsreni nu sie, wen natul Jacob, ac porongo. Porongo kas lal Israel, papa tomowos.
Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
3 “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.
Reuben, thou art my first-born, my might, and the first-fruits of my strength; the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power.
4 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.
Unstable as water, have not thou the excellency; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it — he went up to my couch.
5 “Simeon ac Levi eltal tamulel. Eltal orekmakin mwe anwuk natultal in orek lokoalok sulallal.
Simeon and Levi are brethren; weapons of violence their kinship.
6 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.
Let my soul not come into their council; unto their assembly let my glory not be united; for in their anger they slew men, and in their self-will they houghed oxen.
7 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.
Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce, and their wrath, for it was cruel; I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 “Judah, mwet lim fah kaksakin kom. Poum fah iseya kwawen mwet lokoalok lom. Mwet lim fah pasrla ye motom.
Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise; thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; thy father's sons shall bow down before thee.
9 Judah el oana soko lion. El uniya ma el sruokya uh, folokla nu in luf sel, Ac asrosrelik ona. Wangin mwet pulaik in lusrongol.
Judah is a lion's whelp; from the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as a lioness; who shall rouse him up?
10 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.
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, as long as men come to Shiloh; and unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be.
11 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.
Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washeth his garments in wine, and his vesture in the blood of grapes;
12 Atronmutal srusrala ke nim wain; Ac wihsel fasrfasrla ke nim milk.
His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13 “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.
Zebulun shall dwell at the shore of the sea, and he shall be a shore for ships, and his flank shall be upon Zidon.
14 Issachar el tia ekla liki soko donkey fokoko Ma alsrangesr ac oanna inmasrlon mwe utuk lal.
Issachar is a large-boned ass, couching down between the sheep-folds.
15 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.
For he saw a resting-place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under task-work
16 “Dan el ac fah sie mwet kol nu sin mwet lal. Elos ac fah oana sruf saya lun Israel.
Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 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.
Dan shall be a serpent in the way, a horned snake in the path, that biteth the horse's heels, so that his rider falleth backward.
18 “LEUM GOD, nga tupan molela lom.
I wait for Thy salvation, O Lord.
19 “Un mwet pusrapasr se ac fah anwuk nu sel Gad, Tusruktu el fah forla ac ukwalos.
Gad, a troop shall troop upon him; but he shall troop upon their heel.
20 “Facl sel Asher ac fah oswe fokinsak wowo. Kain mwe mongo ma fal nu sin tokosra ac fah tuku yorol me.
As for Asher, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
21 “Naphtali el oana soko deer lemnak ma kasrusr sukosok, Su oswe natu fusr na wowo.
Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
22 “Joseph el oana soko fain na ungung ma kap sisken infacl srisrik uh, Ac oa kac uh fanukya fin pot uh.
Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a fountain; its branches run over the wall.
23 Mwet lokoalok lal ah mweunel upana, Ac ukwal ke mwe pisr ac sukan pisr natulos.
The archers have dealt bitterly with him, and shot at him, and hated him;
24 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.
But his bow abode firm, and the arms of his hands were made supple, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, from thence, from the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel,
25 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,
Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee, and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that coucheth beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
26 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.
The blessings of thy father are mighty beyond the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of the prince among his brethren.
27 “Benjamin el oana wolf sulallal soko El uniya ac okomla ma nal ke lotu ac eku.”
Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth; in the morning he devoureth the prey, and at even he divideth the spoil.'
28 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.
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is it that their father spoke unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
29 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,
And he charged them, and said unto them: 'I am to be gathered unto my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30 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.
in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying-place.
31 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.
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32 Acn sac ac luf se we ah, ma moulla sin mwet Hit. Pikinyuwi we.”
The field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.'
33 Ke safla kas in wilwil lal nu sin wen natul nukewa, na el topla ona ac misa.
And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered unto his people.
