Kejadian 49
1 Kemudian Yakub memanggil anak-anaknya dan berkata, "Berkumpullah di sini, di dekatku. Akan kuberitahukan kepadamu apa yang akan kalian alami di kemudian hari:
And Jacob called his sons, and said to them,
2 Berkumpullah, hai anak-anak Yakub, dengarlah Israel, ayahmu.
Assemble yourselves, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear me, sons of Jacob; hear Israel, hear your father.
3 Ruben, anakku yang sulung, engkaulah kekuatanku, buah pertama keperkasaanku. Engkau tergagah dan terkuat di antara semua anakku.
Ruben, you [are] my firstborn, you my strength, and the first of my children, hard to be endured, [hard and] self-willed.
4 Engkau mudah tergoncang seperti air, sehingga bukan yang utama; sebab engkau tidur dengan selirku, kaunodai tempat tidur ayahmu.
You were insolent like water, burst not forth with violence, for you went up to the bed of your father; then you defiled the couch, whereupon you went up.
5 Simeon dan Lewi bersaudara; senjata mereka alat kekerasan.
Symeon and Levi, brethren, accomplished the injustice of their cutting off.
6 Aku takkan ikut dalam permupakatan mereka, juga tidak di dalam perkumpulan mereka. Sebab mereka membunuh dalam kemarahan, melumpuhkan banteng demi kesenangan.
Let not my soul come into their counsel, and let not mine inward parts contend in their conspiracy, for in their wrath they killed men, and in their passion they houghed a bull.
7 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.
Cursed be their wrath, for it was wilful, and their anger, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
8 Yehuda, engkau akan menerkam tengkuk musuhmu; saudara-saudaramu akan memujimu dan sujud di hadapanmu.
Juda, your brethren have praised you, and your hands shall be on the back of your enemies; your father's sons shall do you reverence.
9 Yehuda bagaikan singa muda; ia membunuh mangsanya, lalu kembali ke sarangnya; ia menggeliat lalu berbaring, dan tak seorang pun berani mengusiknya.
Juda is a lion's whelp: from the tender plant, my son, you are gone up, having couched you lie as a lion, and as a whelp; who shall stir him up?
10 Yehuda akan memegang tongkat kerajaan, keturunannya akan memerintah selama-lamanya. Bangsa-bangsa akan membawa upeti, dan sujud dengan takluk di hadapannya.
A ruler shall not fail from Juda, nor a prince from his loins, until there come the things stored up for him; and he is the expectation of nations.
11 Anak keledainya diikatnya pada pohon, pohon anggur yang paling baik. Dia mencuci pakaiannya dengan anggur, anggur semerah darah.
Binding his foal to the vine, and the foal of his ass to the branch [of it], he shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape.
12 Merah matanya karena minum anggur, putih giginya karena minum susu.
His eyes shall be more cheering than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
13 Zebulon akan diam di dekat laut; kapal-kapal akan berlabuh di pantainya; sampai Sidon batas wilayahnya.
Zabulon shall dwell on the coast, and he [shall be] by a haven of ships, and shall extend to Sidon.
14 Isakhar itu bagaikan keledai kuat yang berbaring di antara keranjang bebannya.
Issachar has desired that which is good; resting between the inheritances.
15 Dilihatnya betapa baiknya tempat itu dan betapa indahnya negeri itu, maka membungkuklah ia rela dibebani, dan dipaksa bekerja sebagai hamba.
And having seen the resting place that it was good, and the land that it was fertile, he subjected his shoulder to labour, and became a husbandman.
16 Engkau Dan, akan mengadili bangsamu, engkau menjadi suku seperti suku lain di Israel.
Dan shall judge his people, as one tribe too in Israel.
17 Engkau seperti ular di pinggir jalan, ular berbisa di tepi lorong, yang memagut tumit kuda sampai terlempar penunggangnya.
And let Dan be a serpent in the way, besetting the path, biting the heel of the horse (and the rider shall fall backward),
18 Ya TUHAN, keselamatan yang Kauberikan, itulah yang kunanti-nantikan.
waiting for the salvation of the Lord.
19 Gad, engkau akan diserang perampok, namun engkau akan balik merampok mereka.
Gad, a plundering troop shall plunder him; but he shall plunder him, [pursuing him] closely.
20 Asyer, makananmu limpah mewah, kau akan menyediakan makanan bagi raja-raja.
Aser, his bread [shall be] fat; and he shall yield dainties to princes.
21 Naftali, laksana rusa terlepas, sangat cantik anak-anaknya.
Nephthalim is a spreading stem, bestowing beauty on its fruit.
22 Yusuf bagai keledai muda, keledai liar dekat mata air, berlari-lari di lereng gunung.
Joseph is a son increased; my dearly loved son is increased; my youngest son, turn to me.
23 Musuh menyerang dengan sengit, mengejarnya dengan busur dan panah.
Against whom men taking evil counsel reproached [him], and the archers pressed hard upon him.
24 Namun Yusuf tetap kukuh lengannya, tetap kuat panahnya, karena kuasa Sang Gembala Mahakuat, Allah Yakub, Pelindung Israel.
But their bow and arrows were mightily consumed, and the sinews of their arms were slackened by the hand of the mighty one of Jacob; thence is he that strengthened Israel from the God of your father;
25 Allah ayahmu menolong engkau; Yang Mahakuasa memberkati engkau dengan hujan dari langit dan air dari bawah tanah. Dengan anak dan sapi,
and my God helped you, and he blessed you with the blessing of heaven from above, and the blessing of the earth possessing all things, because of the blessing of the breasts and of the womb,
26 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.
the blessings of your father and your mother—it has prevailed above the blessing of the lasting mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the head of the brothers of whom he took the lead.
27 Benyamin adalah serigala ganas. Di pagi hari ia menerkam mangsanya. Di malam hari ia membagi-bagikannya."
Benjamin, as a ravening wolf, shall eat still in the morning, and at evening he gives food.
28 Itulah kedua belas suku Israel, dan kata-kata yang diucapkan ayah mereka ketika memberi salam perpisahan kepada mereka masing-masing.
All these [are] the twelve sons of Jacob; and their father spoke these words to them, and he blessed them; he blessed each of them according to his blessing.
29 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.
And he said to them, I am added to my people; you shall bury me with my fathers in the cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Chettite,
in the double cave which is opposite Mambre, in the land of Chanaan, the cave which Abraam bought of Ephron the Chettite, for a possession of a sepulchre.
31 Di situ dikuburkan Abraham dan Sara, Ishak dan Ribka; dan di situ juga aku menguburkan Lea.
There they buried Abraam and Sarrha his wife; there they buried Isaac, and Rebecca his wife; there they buried Lea;
32 Ladang dan gua yang ada di situ telah dibeli dari orang Het. Kuburkanlah aku di situ."
in the portion of the field, and of the cave that was in it, [purchased] of the sons of Chet.
33 Setelah Yakub selesai berpesan kepada anak-anaknya, berbaringlah ia lalu meninggal.
And Jacob ceased giving charges to his sons; and having lifted up his feet on the bed, he died, and was gathered to his people.
