Genesis 49
1 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.
Poslije sazva Jakov sinove svoje i reèe: skupite se da vam javim šta æe vam biti do pošljetka.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
Skupite se i poslušajte, sinovi Jakovljevi, poslušajte Izrailja oca svojega.
3 “Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power.
Ruvime, ti si prvenac moj, krjepost moja i poèetak sile moje; prvi gospodstvom i prvi snagom.
4 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.
Navro si kao voda; neæeš biti prvi; jer si stao na postelju oca svojega i oskvrnio je legav na nju.
5 “Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
Simeun i Levije, braæa, maèevi su im oružje nepravdi.
6 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.
U tajne njihove da ne ulazi duša moja, sa zborom njihovijem da se ne sastavlja slava moja; jer u gnjevu svojem pobiše ljude, i za svoje veselje pokidaše volove.
7 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.
Proklet da je gnjev njihov, što bješe nagao, i ljutina njihova, što bješe žestoka; razdijeliæu ih po Jakovu, i rasuæu ih po Izrailju.
8 “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.
Juda, tebe æe hvaliti braæa tvoja, a ruka æe ti biti za vratom neprijateljima tvojim, i klanjaæe ti se sinovi oca tvojega.
9 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?
Laviæu Juda! s plijena si se vratio, sine moj; spusti se i leže kao lav i kao ljuti lav; ko æe ga probuditi?
10 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.
Palica vladalaèka neæe se odvojiti od Jude niti od nogu njegovijeh onaj koji postavlja zakon, dokle ne doðe onaj kome pripada, i njemu æe se pokoravati narodi.
11 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.
Veže za èokot magare svoje, i za plemenitu lozu mlade od magarice svoje; u vinu pere haljinu svoju i ogrtaè svoj u soku od grožða.
12 His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.
Oèi mu se crvene od vina i zubi bijele od mlijeka.
13 “Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.
Zavulon æe živjeti pokraj mora i gdje pristaju laðe, a meða æe mu biti do Sidona.
14 “Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags.
Isahar je magarac jak u kostima, koji leži u toru,
15 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.
I vidjev da je poèivanje dobro i da je zemlja mila, sagnuæe ramena svoja da nosi, i plaæaæe danak.
16 “Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan æe suditi svojemu narodu, kao jedno izmeðu plemena Izrailjevih.
17 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.
Dan æe biti zmija na putu i guja na stazi, koja ujeda konja za kièicu, te pada konjik nauznako.
18 I have waited for your salvation, LORD.
Gospode, tebe èekam da me izbaviš.
19 “A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.
A Gad, njega æe vojska svladati; ali æe najposlije on nadvladati.
20 “Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.
U Asira æe biti obilata hrana, i on æe davati slasti carske.
21 “Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.
Neftalim je košuta puštena, i govoriæe lijepe rijeèi.
22 “Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.
Josif je rodna grana, rodna grana kraj izvora, kojoj se ogranci raširiše svrh zida.
23 The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:
Ako ga i ucvijeliše ljuto i strijeljaše na nj, i biše mu neprijatelji strijelci,
24 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),
Opet osta jak luk njegov i ojaèaše mišice ruku njegovijeh od ruku jakoga Boga Jakovljeva, odakle posta pastir, kamen Izrailju,
25 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.
Od silnoga Boga oca tvojega, koji æe ti pomagati, i od svemoguæega, koji æe te blagosloviti blagoslovima ozgo s neba, blagoslovima ozdo iz bezdana, blagoslovima od dojaka i od materice.
26 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.
Blagoslovi oca tvojega nadvisiše blagoslove mojih starijeh svrh brda vjeènijeh, neka budu nad glavom Josifovom i nad tjemenom odvojenoga izmeðu braæe.
27 “Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”
Venijamin je vuk grabljivi, jutrom jede lov, a veèerom dijeli plijen.
28 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.
Ovo su dvanaest plemena Izrailjevih, i ovo im otac izgovori kad ih blagoslovi, svako blagoslovom njegovijem blagoslovi ih.
29 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,
Potom im zapovjedi i reèe im: kad se priberem k rodu svojemu, pogrebite me kod otaca mojih u peæini koja je na njivi Efrona Hetejina,
30 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.
U peæini koja je na njivi Makpelskoj prema Mamriji u zemlji Hananskoj, koju kupi Avram s njivom u Efrona Hetejina da ima svoj grob.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:
Ondje pogreboše Avrama i Saru ženu njegovu, ondje pogreboše Isaka i Reveku ženu njegovu, i ondje pogreboh Liju.
32 the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”
A kupljena je njiva i peæina na njoj u sinova Hetovijeh.
33 When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.
A kad izgovori Jakov zapovjesti sinovima svojim, diže noge svoje na postelju, i umrije, i pribran bi k rodu svojemu.
