Genesis 49
1 Jacob summoned all his sons, and said to them,
| و یعقوب، پسران خود را خوانده، گفت: «جمع شوید تا شما را از آنچه درایام آخر به شما واقع خواهد شد، خبر دهم. | ۱ |
2 “Gather around me in order that I can tell you what will happen in the future. My sons, come and listen to me. I am your father, [Jacob, whom God named] Israel.
| ای پسران یعقوب جمع شوید و بشنوید! و به پدرخود، اسرائیل، گوش گیرید. | ۲ |
3 Reuben, you are my oldest son. You were born when I was young and energetic/strong. You are prouder and stronger than all the rest of my sons.
| «ای روبین! تو نخست زاده منی، توانایی من وابتدای قوتم، فضیلت رفعت و فضیلت قدرت. | ۳ |
4 But you were as uncontrollable as a flood [SIM]. So now you will not be my most important son, because you climbed up onto my bed, and had sex with [MTY] my (concubine/slave who had become one of my wives). Your doing that caused me, your father, to have great shame.
| جوشان مثل آب، برتری نخواهی یافت، زیرا که بر بستر پدر خود برآمدی. آنگاه آن را بی‌حرمت ساختی، به بستر من برآمد. | ۴ |
5 Simeon and Levi, you have both acted like criminals. You use your swords to act violently.
| «شمعون و لاوی برادرند. آلات ظلم، شمشیرهای ایشان است. | ۵ |
6 I do not want to be with you when you make evil plans [DOU]. I do not want to join you in your meetings, because you killed people when you became very angry, and you (hamstrung/cut the tendons in the legs of) oxen just to (have fun/see them suffer).
| ای نفس من به مشورت ایشان داخل مشو، و‌ای جلال من به محفل ایشان متحد مباش زیرا در غضب خودمردم را کشتند. و در خودرایی خویش گاوان راپی کردند. | ۶ |
7 God says, ‘I will (curse/cause bad things to happen to) them for being very angry, for acting very cruelly when they were very furious. I will scatter their descendants [MTY] throughout Israel land.’
| ملعون باد خشم ایشان، که سخت بود، و غضب ایشان زیرا که تند بود! ایشان را دریعقوب متفرق سازم و در اسرائیل پراکنده کنم. | ۷ |
8 Judah, your [older and younger] brothers will praise you. They will bow down before you, because you will thoroughly defeat [MTY] your enemies.
| «ای یهودا تو را برادرانت خواهند ستود. دستت بر گردن دشمنانت خواهد بود، و پسران پدرت، تو را تعظیم خواهند کرد. | ۸ |
9 Judah is like a young lion [SIM] that has returned to its den satisfied after eating the animals that it has killed. He is like a lion that lies down and stretches out after eating; no one would dare to disturb it [RHQ].
| یهوداشیربچه‌ای است، ای پسرم از شکار برآمدی. مثل شیر خویشتن را جمع کرده، در کمین می‌خوابد وچون شیرماده‌ای است. کیست او را برانگیزاند؟ | ۹ |
10 There will always be a ruler [MTY] from the descendants of Judah [MTY]. Each one will hold a scepter/staff to show that he has authority as a king. He will do that until the one to whom the scepter belongs comes, the one to whom the nations will bring tribute and show that they will obey him.
| عصا از یهودا دور نخواهد شد. و نه فرمان فرمایی از میان پایهای وی تا شیلو بیاید. ومر او را اطاعت امتها خواهد بود. | ۱۰ |
11 The grapevines of Judah’s descendants will produce grapes very abundantly. As a result, they will not object to tying their young donkeys to the grapevines in order that the donkeys can eat the leaves of the grapevines. [Wine will be very plentiful, with the result that] they could wash their cloaks in wine that is as red as blood [MET].
| کره خود رابه تاک و کره الاغ خویش را به مو بسته. جامه خودرا به شراب، و رخت خویش را به عصیر انگورمی شوید. | ۱۱ |
12 Their eyes will be red because of [drinking too much] wine, but their teeth will be very white because of drinking much milk [from the cows].
| چشمانش به شراب سرخ و دندانش به شیر سفید است. | ۱۲ |
13 Zebulun, your descendants will live by the seashore where there will be a safe harbor for ships. Their land will extend north as far as Sidon [city].
| «زبولون، بر کنار دریا ساکن شود، و نزدبندر کشتیها. و حدود او تا به صیدون خواهدرسید. | ۱۳ |
14 Issachar, your descendants will be like strong donkeys that are lying down on the ground between their loads, [so tired that they cannot get up]!
| یساکار حمار قوی است در میان آغلهاخوابیده. | ۱۴ |
15 They will see that their resting place is good, and that the land pleases them very much. But they will bend their backs to carry heavy loads and be forced to work for others.
| چون محل آرمیدن را دید که پسندیده است، و زمین را دلگشا یافت، پس گردن خویش را برای بار خم کرد، و بنده خراج گردید. | ۱۵ |
16 Dan, although your tribe will be small, their leaders will rule their people just like the leaders of other tribes of Israel will rule their people.
| «دان، قوم خود را داوری خواهد کرد، چون یکی از اسباط اسرائیل. | ۱۶ |
17 Your descendants will be like snakes at the side of a road, like poisonous snakes lying beside a path. They will strike the heels of horses that pass by, causing the riders to fall backwards [as the horses rear up on their hind legs].”
| دان، ماری خواهد بود به‌سر راه، و افعی بر کنار طریق که پاشنه اسب رابگزد تا سوارش از عقب افتد. | ۱۷ |
18 Then Jacob prayed, “Yahweh, I am waiting for you to rescue me [from my enemies].”
| ای یهوه منتظرنجات تو می‌باشم. | ۱۸ |
19 [Then Jacob continued telling his sons what would happen in the future. He said], “Gad, your tribe/descendants will be attacked by a group of bandits, but your tribe/descendants will pursue and attack them [MTY].
| «جاد، گروهی بر وی هجوم خواهند‌آورد، و او به عقب ایشان هجوم خواهد آورد. | ۱۹ |
20 Asher, your descendants will eat good-tasting food; they will produce food that is delicious enough for kings to eat.
| اشیر، نان او چرب خواهد بود، و لذات ملوکانه خواهدداد. | ۲۰ |
21 Naphtali, your descendants will be like deer [MET] that are (free to/not tied down and can) run wherever they wish. They will give birth to children who are good-looking like (fawns/baby deer) [MET].
| نفتالی، غزال آزادی است، که سخنان حسنه خواهد داد. | ۲۱ |
22 Joseph, you will have many descendants [MET]. Their children will be as many as the fruit on a vine near a spring of water, whose branches extend over a wall.
| «یوسف، شاخه باروری است. شاخه باروربر سر چشمه‌ای که شاخه هایش از دیوار برآید. | ۲۲ |
23 Their enemies will attack them fiercely, and shoot at them with bows and arrows and pursue them.
| تیراندازان او را رنجانیدند، و تیر انداختند واذیت رسانیدند. | ۲۳ |
24 But they will hold their bows steady and their arms will remain strong, because of the power [MTY] of my mighty God, because of Yahweh who guides and provides for me [MET] like a shepherd guides and provides for his sheep. The people of Israel will [ask Yahweh to protect them], [like people hide under] a huge [overhanging] to be protected.
| لیکن کمان وی در قوت قایم ماند. و بازوهای دستش به‌دست قدیر یعقوب مقوی گردید که از آنجاست شبان و صخره اسرائیل. | ۲۴ |
25 God, the one whom I worship, will help your descendants. God Almighty will bless them by sending them rain from the sky and by giving them water from deep/far below the ground. He will give them many cattle and children [MET] (OR, and their cattle will have many offspring).
| از خدای پدرت که تو را اعانت می‌کند، و از قادرمطلق که تو را برکت می‌دهد، به برکات آسمانی از اعلی و برکات لجه‌ای که دراسفل واقع است، و برکات پستانها و رحم. | ۲۵ |
26 The blessings that I want God to give you are great ones. They are greater than the blessings that come from the eternal mountains, greater than the ones that come from the everlasting hills. Joseph, I pray that these blessings will (be given to you/come upon your head), because you are the leader of your [older] brothers [and younger brother].
| برکات پدرت بر برکات جبال ازلی فایق آمد، وبر حدود کوههای ابدی و بر سر یوسف خواهدبود، و بر فرق او که از برادرانش برگزیده شد. | ۲۶ |
27 Benjamin, your descendants will be like [MET] vicious/fierce wolves: In the morning they will kill their enemies like a wolf devours (its prey/the animals that it has killed), and in the evening they will divide among their warriors the spoils that they seized from their enemies.”
| «بنیامین، گرگی است که می‌درد. صبحگاهان شکار را خواهد خورد، و شامگاهان غارت را تقسیم خواهد کرد.» | ۲۷ |
28 Those twelve sons are the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. That is what their father said to them as he blessed them, telling to each one words that were appropriate for him.
| همه اینان دوازده سبط اسرائیلند، و این است آنچه پدرایشان، بدیشان گفت و ایشان را برکت داد، و هریک را موافق برکت وی برکت داد. | ۲۸ |
29 Then Jacob said to his sons, “I will soon die. Bury my body where some of my ancestors are buried, in the cave that is in the field that was bought from Ephron, who belonged to the Heth people-group.
| پس ایشان را وصیت فرموده، گفت: «من به قوم خود ملحق می‌شوم، مرا با پدرانم در مغاره‌ای که در صحرای عفرون حتی است، دفن کنید. | ۲۹ |
30 That field is in the Machpelah area, east of Mamre [town], in Canaan. My grandfather Abraham bought it from Ephron to use as a burial place.
| در مغاره‌ای که در صحرای مکفیله است، که درمقابل ممری در زمین کنعان واقع است، که ابراهیم آن را با آن صحرا از عفرون حتی برای ملکیت مقبره خرید. | ۳۰ |
31 That is where they buried him and his wife Sarah. That is where they buried my father Isaac and his wife Rebekah. And that is where I buried my wife Leah.
| آنجا ابراهیم و زوجه‌اش، ساره رادفن کردند؛ آنجا اسحاق و زوجه او رفقه را دفن کردند؛ و آنجا لیه را دفن نمودم. | ۳۱ |
32 That field and the cave in it were bought from the Heth people-group; so that is where I want you to bury me.”
| خرید آن صحرا و مغاره‌ای که در آن است از بنی حت بود.» | ۳۲ |
33 When Jacob finished giving those instructions to his sons, he lay down on his bed again. Then he died [IDM].
| و چون یعقوب وصیت را با پسران خود به پایان برد، پایهای خود را به بستر کشیده، جان بداد و به قوم خویش ملحق گردید. | ۳۳ |
