Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, and I will tell you what will befall you at the end of days.
Kemudian Yakub memanggil anak-anaknya dan berkata, "Berkumpullah di sini, di dekatku. Akan kuberitahukan kepadamu apa yang akan kalian alami di kemudian hari:
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father.
Berkumpullah, hai anak-anak Yakub, dengarlah Israel, ayahmu.
3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, My might, and the firstfruits of my vigour: Excellency of dignity, and excellency of strength.
Ruben, anakku yang sulung, engkaulah kekuatanku, buah pertama keperkasaanku. Engkau tergagah dan terkuat di antara semua anakku.
4 Impetuous as the waters, thou shalt have no pre-eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father's couch: Then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to my bed.
Engkau mudah tergoncang seperti air, sehingga bukan yang utama; sebab engkau tidur dengan selirku, kaunodai tempat tidur ayahmu.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren: Instruments of violence their swords.
Simeon dan Lewi bersaudara; senjata mereka alat kekerasan.
6 My soul, come not into their council; Mine honour, be not united with their assembly; For in their anger they slew men, And in their wantonness houghed oxen.
Aku takkan ikut dalam permupakatan mereka, juga tidak di dalam perkumpulan mereka. Sebab mereka membunuh dalam kemarahan, melumpuhkan banteng demi kesenangan.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it [was] violent; And their rage, for it [was] cruel! I will divide them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.
Terkutuklah kemarahan mereka, karena dahsyatnya. Terkutuklah keberangan mereka, karena kejamnya. Aku akan menceraiberaikan mereka di seluruh Israel. Aku akan menghamburkan mereka di antara seluruh bangsa.
8 Judah — [as to] thee, thy brethren will praise thee; Thy hand will be upon the neck of thine enemies; Thy father's children will bow down to thee.
Yehuda, engkau akan menerkam tengkuk musuhmu; saudara-saudaramu akan memujimu dan sujud di hadapanmu.
9 Judah is a young lion; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stoopeth, he layeth himself down as a lion, And as a lioness: who will rouse him up?
Yehuda bagaikan singa muda; ia membunuh mangsanya, lalu kembali ke sarangnya; ia menggeliat lalu berbaring, dan tak seorang pun berani mengusiknya.
10 The sceptre will not depart from Judah, Nor the lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh come, And to him will be the obedience of peoples.
Yehuda akan memegang tongkat kerajaan, keturunannya akan memerintah selama-lamanya. Bangsa-bangsa akan membawa upeti, dan sujud dengan takluk di hadapannya.
11 He bindeth his foal to the vine, And his ass's colt to the choice vine; He washeth his dress in wine, And his garment in the blood of grapes.
Anak keledainya diikatnya pada pohon, pohon anggur yang paling baik. Dia mencuci pakaiannya dengan anggur, anggur semerah darah.
12 The eyes are red with wine, And the teeth [are] white with milk.
Merah matanya karena minum anggur, putih giginya karena minum susu.
13 Zebulun will dwell at the shore of the seas; Yea, he will be at the shore of the ships, And his side [toucheth] upon Sidon.
Zebulon akan diam di dekat laut; kapal-kapal akan berlabuh di pantainya; sampai Sidon batas wilayahnya.
14 Issachar is a bony ass, Crouching down between two hurdles.
Isakhar itu bagaikan keledai kuat yang berbaring di antara keranjang bebannya.
15 And he saw the rest that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And was a tributary servant.
Dilihatnya betapa baiknya tempat itu dan betapa indahnya negeri itu, maka membungkuklah ia rela dibebani, dan dipaksa bekerja sebagai hamba.
16 Dan will judge his people, As another of the tribes of Israel.
Engkau Dan, akan mengadili bangsamu, engkau menjadi suku seperti suku lain di Israel.
17 Dan will be a serpent on the way, A horned snake on the path, Which biteth the horse's heels, So that the rider falleth backwards.
Engkau seperti ular di pinggir jalan, ular berbisa di tepi lorong, yang memagut tumit kuda sampai terlempar penunggangnya.
18 I wait for thy salvation, O Jehovah.
Ya TUHAN, keselamatan yang Kauberikan, itulah yang kunanti-nantikan.
19 Gad — troops will rush upon him; But he will rush upon the heel.
Gad, engkau akan diserang perampok, namun engkau akan balik merampok mereka.
20 Out of Asher, his bread shall be fat, And he will give royal dainties.
Asyer, makananmu limpah mewah, kau akan menyediakan makanan bagi raja-raja.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose; He giveth goodly words.
Naftali, laksana rusa terlepas, sangat cantik anak-anaknya.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough; A fruitful bough by a well; [His] branches shoot over the wall.
Yusuf bagai keledai muda, keledai liar dekat mata air, berlari-lari di lereng gunung.
23 The archers have provoked him, And shot at, and hated him;
Musuh menyerang dengan sengit, mengejarnya dengan busur dan panah.
24 But his bow abideth firm, And the arms of his hands are supple By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob. From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:
Namun Yusuf tetap kukuh lengannya, tetap kuat panahnya, karena kuasa Sang Gembala Mahakuat, Allah Yakub, Pelindung Israel.
25 From the God of thy father, and he will help thee; And from the Almighty, and he will bless thee — With blessings of heaven from above, With blessings of the deep that lieth under, With blessings of the breast and of the womb.
Allah ayahmu menolong engkau; Yang Mahakuasa memberkati engkau dengan hujan dari langit dan air dari bawah tanah. Dengan anak dan sapi,
26 The blessings of thy father surpass the blessings of my ancestors, Unto the bounds of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
gandum dan bunga. Berkat Allah bapakmu melebihi kekayaan gunung-gunung yang sangat tua. Semoga turunlah semua berkat itu ke atas kepala Yusuf, ke atas dahinya. Dialah yang teristimewa di antara saudara-saudaranya.
27 Benjamin — [as] a wolf will he tear to pieces; In the morning he will devour the prey, And in the evening he will divide the booty.
Benyamin adalah serigala ganas. Di pagi hari ia menerkam mangsanya. Di malam hari ia membagi-bagikannya."
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them; and he blessed them: every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
Itulah kedua belas suku Israel, dan kata-kata yang diucapkan ayah mereka ketika memberi salam perpisahan kepada mereka masing-masing.
29 And he charged them, and said to them, I am gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Kemudian Yakub berpesan kepada anak-anaknya, "Sebentar lagi aku akan berpulang seperti leluhurku. Kuburkanlah aku nanti di samping mereka dalam gua di Makhpela, sebelah timur Mamre di tanah Kanaan. Abraham telah membeli gua dan ladang di sekitarnya dari Efron orang Het untuk dijadikan pekuburan.
30 in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is opposite to Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought of Ephron the Hittite along with the field for a possession of a sepulchre.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebecca his wife; and there I buried Leah.
Di situ dikuburkan Abraham dan Sara, Ishak dan Ribka; dan di situ juga aku menguburkan Lea.
32 The purchase of the field, and of the cave that is in it, was from the children of Heth.
Ladang dan gua yang ada di situ telah dibeli dari orang Het. Kuburkanlah aku di situ."
33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered to his peoples.
Setelah Yakub selesai berpesan kepada anak-anaknya, berbaringlah ia lalu meninggal.
