Genesis 49
1 Jacob summoned all his sons, and said to them,
Potem Jakub wezwał swoich synów i powiedział: Zbierzcie się, a oznajmię wam, co was spotka w [waszych] ostatnich dniach.
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.
Zbierzcie się i słuchajcie, synowie Jakuba, a słuchajcie waszego ojca Izraela.
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.
Rubenie, mój pierworodny, ty jesteś moją mocą i początkiem mojej siły, pierwszy dostojeństwem i pierwszy męstwem.
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.
Niestabilny jak woda, nie będziesz przodować, bo wstąpiłeś do łoża twego ojca; wstępując do mojego posłania, zbezcześciłeś je.
5 Simeon and Levi, you have both acted like criminals. You use your swords to act violently.
Symeon i Lewi, bracia, ich miecze to narzędzia przemocy.
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).
Niech moja dusza nie wchodzi w ich radę, niech moja sława nie jednoczy się z ich zgromadzeniem, bo w swej zapalczywości zabili człowieka, a w samowoli wywrócili mur.
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.’
Przeklęta ich zapalczywość, bo uparta, i ich gniew, bo zatwardziały. Rozdzielę ich w Jakubie, a rozproszę ich w Izraelu.
8 Judah, your [older and younger] brothers will praise you. They will bow down before you, because you will thoroughly defeat [MTY] your enemies.
Judo, to ciebie będą chwalić twoi bracia, twoja ręka będzie na karku twoich nieprzyjaciół, synowie twego ojca będą ci się kłaniać.
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].
Judo, szczenię lwie, wróciłeś od łupu, mój synu. Skłonił się i położył się jak lew i jak lwica. Któż go obudzi?
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.
Nie będzie odjęte berło od Judy ani prawodawca spomiędzy jego nóg, aż przyjdzie Szylo i jemu będą posłuszne narody.
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].
Przywiąże do winorośli swoje oślę, a do wybornej winorośli – oślątko swojej oślicy. Wypierze w winie swoją szatę, a we krwi winogron – swoje odzienie.
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].
Jego oczy czerwone od wina, a zęby białe od mleka.
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].
Zebulon [będzie] mieszkać na morskim brzegu, przy porcie okrętów, a jego granice [będą] aż do Sydonu.
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]!
Issachar [jak] osioł kościsty leżący między dwoma brzemionami.
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.
Zobaczył, że spoczynek jest dobry i ziemię, że [jest] urocza, nachylił swe ramię, by dźwigać, i stał się sługą składającym daninę.
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.
Dan będzie sądzić swój lud jako jedno z pokoleń Izraela.
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].”
Dan będzie wężem na drodze, żmiją na ścieżce kąsającą końskie pięty, tak że jeździec spadnie do tyłu.
18 Then Jacob prayed, “Yahweh, I am waiting for you to rescue me [from my enemies].”
Oczekuję twego zbawienia, PANIE!
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].
Gad będzie zwyciężony przez wojsko, ale on na koniec zwycięży.
20 Asher, your descendants will eat good-tasting food; they will produce food that is delicious enough for kings to eat.
Od Aszera [będzie] tłusty chleb, a on dostarczy przysmaków królewskich.
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].
Neftali [jak] wypuszczona łania, mówiący piękne słowa.
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.
Józef, latorośl płodna, latorośl płodna przy źródle, a [jej] szczepy rozchodzą się po murze.
23 Their enemies will attack them fiercely, and shoot at them with bows and arrows and pursue them.
Choć napoili go goryczą i strzelali do niego, i nienawidzili go strzelcy;
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.
Jednak jego łuk został potężny i wzmocniły się ramiona jego rąk dzięki rękom mocnego [Boga] Jakuba, stamtąd pasterz i opoka Izraela.
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).
Od Boga twego ojca, który [będzie] cię wspomagał, i od Wszechmogącego, który ci pobłogosławi błogosławieństwami nieba z wysoka [i] błogosławieństwami głębin leżących na dole, [i] błogosławieństwami piersi i łona.
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].
Błogosławieństwa twego ojca będą mocniejsze niż błogosławieństwa moich przodków aż do granic pagórków wiecznych. Będą nad głową Józefa i nad wierzchem głowy odłączonego od swych braci.
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.”
Beniamin [jak] drapieżny wilk, rano będzie jeść zdobycz, a wieczorem będzie dzielił łupy.
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.
Oto wszystkich dwanaście pokoleń Izraela i to, co im powiedział ich ojciec, gdy im błogosławił. Każdemu według jego błogosławieństwa błogosławił.
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.
Potem im nakazał: Ja będę przyłączony do mojego ludu. Pogrzebcie mnie z moimi ojcami w jaskini, która jest na polu Efrona Chetyty;
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.
W jaskini, która [jest] na polu Makpela naprzeciwko Mamre w ziemi Kanaan. Kupił ją wraz z polem Abraham od Efrona Chetyty jako grób na własność.
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.
Tam pogrzebano Abrahama i jego żonę Sarę, tam pogrzebano Izaaka i jego żonę Rebekę. Tam też pogrzebałem Leę.
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.”
Pole to i jaskinię na nim kupiono od synów Cheta.
33 When Jacob finished giving those instructions to his sons, he lay down on his bed again. Then he died [IDM].
A gdy Jakub przestał mówić do swoich synów, złożył swoje nogi na łoże i umarł, i został przyłączony do swego ludu.
