Genesisy 49
1 Ary Jakoba namory ny zananilahy ka nanao hoe: Mivoria ianareo, mba hanambarako aminareo izay ho tonga aminareo any am-parany.
Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.
2 Miangòna, ka mandrenesa, ry zanakalahin’ i Jakoba, eny, mihainoa an’ Isiraely rainareo:
Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
3 Ry ROBENA, lahimatoako ianao, heriko sy voalohan’ ny tanjako, manan-tombom-pisandratana, manan-tombon-kery.
“Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power.
4 Mandroadroatra toy ny rano ianao ka tsy hanan-tombo, fa niakatra tamin’ ny fandrian’ ny rainao ianao, tamin’ izany no nandotoanao azy. Endrey, ny farafarako lahy, ka dia niakarany!
Boiling over like water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, then defiled it. He went up to my couch.
5 SIMEONA sy LEVY dia mpirahalahy, fiadia-mandoza ny sabany;
“Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
6 Aza mankeo amin’ izay iokoany, ry foko, ary aza miray amin’ ny fiangonany, ry fanahiko; fa tamin’ ny fahatezerany no namonoany olona, ary tamin’ ny fahasahisahiany no nanatraingoany omby.
My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.
7 Ho voaozona anie ny fahatezerany, fa nasiaka izany, ary ny fahavinirany, fa loza izany; hampihahakahaka azy eny amin’ i Jakoba aho, ary hanely azy eny amin’ Isiraely.
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 Ry JODA, hoderain’ ny rahalahinao ianao, ny tananao ho ao amin’ ny vozon’ ny fahavalonao; hiankohoka eo anatrehanao ny zanaky ny rainao.
“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.
9 Zana-diona, Joda, avy niremby ianao, anaka; mamitsaka, mandry toy ny liona izy, ary toy ny liom-bavy, ka iza no hanaitra azy!
Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?
10 Ny tehim-panjakana tsy hiala amin’ i Joda, na ny tehina fanapahana eo anelanelan’ ny tongony, mandra-pahatongan’ i Silo, ka hanoa Azy ny firenena.
The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. The obedience of the peoples will be to him.
11 Mamatotra ny borikiny tanora eo amin’ ny tahom-boaloboka izy. Ary ny zanaky ny borikivaviny eo amin’ ny tahom-boaloboka tsara; nanasa ny fitafiany tamin’ ny divay izy, ary ny akanjony tamin’ ny ram-boaloboka.
Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
12 Mangamanga ny masony azon’ ny divay ary fotsy ny nifiny azon’ ny ronono.
His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.
13 ZEBOLONA, ao amoron-dranomasina no honenany, dia ao amoron-dranomasina fitodian-tsambo; ary ny sisin-taniny hifanolotra amin’ i Sidona.
“Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.
14 ISAKARA dia boriky henjana, mandry eo anelanelan’ ny vala;
“Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags.
15 Ary hitany fa tsara ny fialan-tsasatra, sady mahafinaritra ny tany; dia nanongilana ny sorony hitondra entana izy ka tonga mpanompo mandoa hetra.
He saw a resting place, that it was good, the land, that it was pleasant. He bows his shoulder to the burden, and becomes a servant doing forced labor.
16 DANA hitsara ny olony tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ny firenen’ ny Isiraely.
“Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dana ho menarana ao amoron-dalana, ho bibilava misy tandroka ao an-dalana izy, izay manaikitra ny kitrokelin’ ny soavaly, ka potraka miantsilany ny mpitaingina azy.
Dan will be a serpent on the trail, an adder in the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that his rider falls backward.
18 Ny famonjenao no andrasako, Jehovah ô!
I have waited for your salvation, LORD.
19 GADA, ny manao andiany hamoritra azy; fa izy kosa hamely ny otrika.
“A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.
20 ASERA dia avy ao aminy ny matavy fihinany, ary izy no ihavian’ ny hanim-pin’ andriana.
“Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.
21 NAFTALY dia dieravavy alefa; manao teny mahafinaritra izy.
“Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.
22 JOSEFA dia sampana mahavokatra, eny, sampana mahavokatra eo anilan-doharano; ny rantsany mananika mihoatra ny fefy.
“Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.
23 Nampahory azy ny mpitifitra, dia nitifitra azy sy nanenjika azy;
The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:
24 Kanefa mateza hery ny tsipìkany, ary mailamailaka ny sandrin-tànany, avy amin’ ny tànan’ Ilay Maherin’ i Jakoba, dia avy ao amin’ ny Mpiandry, Izay Vatolampin’ ny Isiraely,
But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),
25 Avy amin’ ny Andriamanitry ny rainao, ka Izy hamonjy anao avy amin’ ny Tsitoha, ka Izy hitahy anao: Dia fitahiana avy amin’ ny lanitra any ambony, sy fitahiana avy amin’ ny lalina, izay mamitsaka any ambany, ary fitahiana avy amin’ ny nono sy ny kibo.
even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
26 Ny tso-dranon’ ny rainao dia mihoatra noho ny havoana mandrakizay sy ny zavatra mahafinaritra amin’ ny tendrombohitra fahagola; ho eo an-dohan’ i Josefa izany, dia ho eo an-tampon-dohan’ ilay nalaza tamin’ ny rahalahiny.
The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.
27 BENJAMINA dia amboadia mamiravira: Nony maraina homan-dremby izy, nony hariva mizara babo.
“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”
28 Ireo rehetra ireo no firenen’ ny Isiraely roa ambin’ ny folo; ary izany no nolazain’ ny rainy taminy sy nitsofany rano azy; samy araka ny tso-drano izay tokony ho azy avy no nitsofany rano azy.
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them, and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his own blessing.
29 Dia nanafatra azy izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Izaho efa madiva hangonina ho any amin’ ny razako; aleveno ao amin’ ny razako aho, dia ao anatin’ ny zohy izay any amin’ ny sahan’ i Efrona Hetita,
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 Hittite,
30 ao anatin’ ny zohy izay any amin’ ny saha Makpela, izay tandrifin’ i Mamre, any amin’ ny tany Kanana, dia ilay novidin’ i Abrahama mbamin’ ny saha tamin’ i Efrona Hetita ho tany fandevenana.
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 as a burial place.
31 Tao no nandevenany an’ i Abrahama sy Saraha vadiny; ary tao koa no nandevenany an’ Isaka sy Rebeka vadiny; ary tao koa no nandevenako an’ i Lea,
There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:
32 ny saha sy ny zohy ao anatiny izay novidiny tamin’ ny taranak’ i Heta.
the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”
33 Ary rehefa vitan’ i Jakoba ny hafatra nataony tamin’ ny zananilahy rehetra, dia navonkiny teo am-parafara ny tongony, dia niala aina izy ka voangona any amin’ ny razany.
When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.
