Genesis 49
1 Then Iaakob called his sonnes, and sayde, Gather your selues together, that I may tell you what shall come to you in the last dayes.
Jakòb fè rele pitit gason l' yo, li di yo: -Sanble non. M'ap fè nou konnen sa ki pral rive nou nan jou k'ap vini yo.
2 Gather your selues together, and heare, ye sonnes of Iaakob, and hearken vnto Israel your father.
Sanble, vin koute non, pitit Jakòb yo! vin koute sa Izrayèl, papa nou, pral di nou.
3 Reuben mine eldest sonne, thou art my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellencie of dignitie, and the excellencie of power:
Ou menm, Woubenn, premye pitit gason mwen, ou se fòs mwen, premye pitit mwen fè. Nan tout pitit mwen yo, se ou ki gen plis fòs, se ou ki pi gwonèg.
4 Thou wast light as water: thou shalt not be excellent, because thou wentest vp to thy fathers bed: then diddest thou defile my bed, thy dignitie is gone.
Ou tankou yon larivyè k'ap desann. Men, se pa ou k'ap alatèt, paske ou kouche ak yon madanm papa ou. Ou moute sou kabann mwen, ou fè sa ou pa t' dwe fè.
5 Simeon and Leui, brethren in euill, the instruments of crueltie are in their habitations.
Simeyon ak Levi se menm moun, se pwason kraze nan bouyon! Yo sèvi ak zam yo pou fè mechanste.
6 Into their secret let not my soule come: my glory, be not thou ioyned with their assembly: for in their wrath they slew a man, and in their selfe will they digged downe a wall.
Mwen p'ap patisipe nan konplo yo. Mwen p'ap la avèk yo nan reyinyon yo. Paske lè yo ankòlè, yo touye moun. Yo koupe jarèt towo bèf pou dan ri.
7 Cursed be their wrath, for it was fierce, and their rage, for it was cruell: I will deuide them in Iaakob, and scatter them in Israel.
Madichon pou yo lè yo move paske yo san manman! M'ap fè yo rete toupatou nan peyi Jakòb la. M'ap gaye yo nan tout peyi Izrayèl la.
8 Thou Iudah, thy brethre shall praise thee: thine hande shalbe in the necke of thine enemies: thy fathers sonnes shall bowe downe vnto thee.
Ou menm, Jida, frè ou yo ap fè lwanj ou. W'ap kenbe lènmi ou yo dèyè kou. Pitit papa ou yo ap bese tèt devan ou.
9 Iudah, as a Lions whelpe shalt thou come vp from the spoyle, my sonne. He shall lye downe and couche as a Lion, and as a Lionesse: Who shall stirre him vp?
Jida, se yon jenn ti lyon. Lè ou fin fè ravaj, pitit mwen, ou tounen tounen ou. Ou kwoupi, ou kache kò ou tankou yon jenn ti lyon, tankou yon fenmèl lyon. Ki moun ki ka deranje ou?
10 The scepter shall not depart from Iudah, nor a Lawegiuer from betweene his feete, vntill Shiloh come, and the people shall be gathered vnto him.
Yo p'ap ka wete kòmandman an nan men Jida. Non. Baton kòmandman an p'ap soti nan mitan janm li, jouk tan moun tout pèp sou latè pral obeyi a va vini.
11 He shall binde his Asse foale vnto ye vine, and his Asses colte vnto the best vine. hee shall wash his garment in wine, and his cloke in the blood of grapes.
L'ap mare ti bourik li a nan yon pye rezen, l'ap mare pitit manman bourik li a nan pi bon pye rezen an. L'ap lave rad li nan diven, l'ap lave varèz li nan diven wouj kou san.
12 His eyes shalbe red with wine, and his teeth white with milke.
Je l' wouj ak diven. Dan l' blan ak lèt.
13 Zebulun shall dwell by the sea side, and he shalbe an hauen for shippes: and his border shalbe vnto Zidon.
Zabilon pral rete bò lanmè. Batiman yo va jwenn bon pò sou rivaj li yo. Limit peyi l' la ap rive jouk Sidon.
14 Issachar shalbe a strong asse, couching downe betweene two burdens:
Isaka, se yon bon bourik chay. Li kouche nan mitan de bò sakpay.
15 And he shall see that rest is good, and that the land is pleasant, and he shall bow his shoulder to beare, and shalbe subiect vnto tribute.
Li wè jan kote li poze kò l' la nan gou li, li wè jan peyi a bèl. Li pare do l' pou l' pote chay li. Li tounen esklav pou l' travay di.
16 Dan shall iudge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dann ap yon chèf pou pèp li, tankou yon branch nan fanmi Izrayèl.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder by the path, byting the horse heeles, so that his rider shall fall backward.
Dann ap tankou yon sèpan bò gran chemen an, yon sèpan mechan sou bò wout la. L'ap mòde chwal yo nan talon pou l' fè kavalye yo tonbe sou tèt.
18 O Lord, I haue waited for thy saluation.
O Seyè, m'ap tann ou vin sove mwen!
19 Gad, an hoste of men shall ouercome him, but he shall ouercome at the last.
Ou menm, Gad, yon bann vòlò ap vin tonbe sou ou. Men, w'ap kouri dèyè yo, se ou k'ap mete men sou yo.
20 Concerning Asher, his bread shalbe fat, and he shall giue pleasures for a king.
Peyi Asè a ap bay bon manje k'ap bay fòs. L'ap donnen manje ki gou nan bouch wa yo.
21 Naphtali shalbe a hinde let goe, giuing goodly wordes.
Neftali, se yon fenmèl kabrit ki lage. L'ap fè bèl ti pitit.
22 Ioseph shalbe a fruitefull bough, euen a fruitful bough by the well side: the small boughs shall runne vpon the wall.
Jozèf se boujon yon pye rezen ki konn donnen, li soti nan yon pye rezen bò sous dlo ki donnen byen. Branch li yo moute sou tout miray la.
23 And the archers grieued him, and shotte against him and hated him.
Y'ap chache l' kont, y'ap voye wòch sou li. Moun k'ap voye flèch yo tounen yon pèsekisyon pou li.
24 But his bowe abode strong, and the hands of his armes were strengthened, by the handes of the mighty God of Iaakob, of whom was the feeder appointed, by the stone of Israel,
Men, banza pa li a rete fèm, ponyèt li pa febli, gremesi pouvwa Bondye Jakòb la, Bondye ki gadò pèp Izrayèl la. Se li ki tout pwoteksyon yo.
25 Euen by the God of thy father, who shall helpe thee, and by the almightie, who shall blesse thee with heauenly blessinges from aboue, with blessings of the deepe, that lyeth beneath, with blessings of the brestes, and of the wombe.
Sa soti nan Bondye papa ou la k'ap ede ou, nan Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a k'ap beni ou avèk benediksyon lapli ki soti anwo nan syèl la, avèk benediksyon sous dlo k'ap soti anba tè a, avèk benediksyon ki soti nan tete ak nan vant manman.
26 The blessings of thy father shalbe stronger then the blessings of mine elders: vnto the ende of the hilles of the worlde they shall be on the head of Ioseph, and on the top of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Benediksyon papa ou yo pi plis pase benediksyon mòn ki la pou tout tan yo. Se pou benediksyon sa yo tonbe sou tèt Jozèf, sou tèt moun Bondye te chwazi nan mitan tout frè l' yo.
27 Beniamin shall rauine as a wolfe: in the morning he shall deuoure the pray, and at night he shall deuide the spoyle.
Benjamen, se yon bèt nan bwa devoran. Nan maten, li manje bèt li kenbe a. Nan aswè, l'ap separe toujou sa l' te pran yo.
28 All these are the twelue tribes of Israel, and thus their father spake vnto them, and blessed them: euery one of them blessed hee with a seuerall blessing.
Men douz branch fanmi Izrayèl yo. Men sa papa yo te di yo. Li beni yo, li bay chak moun benediksyon pa yo.
29 And he charged them and sayd vnto them, I am ready to be gathered vnto my people: burie mee with my fathers in the caue, that is in the fielde of Ephron the Hittite,
Apre sa, Jakòb ba yo lòd sa a: -Mwen menm, mwen pral jwenn fanmi m' yo ki mouri deja. Antere m' menm kote ak zansèt mwen yo nan twou wòch ki nan jaden Efwon, moun Et la,
30 In the caue that is in the field of Machpelah besides Mamre in the land of Canaan: which caue Abraham bought with the fielde of Ephron the Hittite for a possession to burie in.
nan twou wòch ki nan jaden Makpela a, anfas Manmre, nan peyi Kanaran. Se Abraram ki te achte twou wòch sa a ak tout jaden an nan men Efwon, moun Et la, pou sèvi l' simityè.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife: there they buryed Izhak and Rebekah his wife: and there I buried Leah.
Se la yo te antere Abraram ak Sara, madanm li. Se la yo te antere Izarak ak Rebeka, madanm li. Se la tout mwen te antere Leya.
32 The purchase of the fielde and the caue that is therein, was bought of the children of Heth.
Se nan men mesye Et yo nou te achte jaden an ak tout twou wòch ki sou li a.
33 Thus Iaakob made an end of giuing charge to his sonnes, and plucked vp his feete into the bed and gaue vp the ghost, and was gathered to his people.
Lè Jakòb fin pale konsa ak pitit gason l' yo, li lonje kò l' sou kabann lan, li mouri, li al jwenn fanmi li yo ki te mouri deja.
