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:
Then Jacob summoned his sons, and said: "Gather yourselves together so that I may tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.
2 Berkumpullah, hai anak-anak Yakub, dengarlah Israel, ayahmu.
Assemble yourselves and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
3 Ruben, anakku yang sulung, engkaulah kekuatanku, buah pertama keperkasaanku. Engkau tergagah dan terkuat di antara semua anakku.
Reuben, you are my firstborn, my strength, and the the firstfruits of my virility, preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power.
4 Engkau mudah tergoncang seperti air, sehingga bukan yang utama; sebab engkau tidur dengan selirku, kaunodai tempat tidur ayahmu.
Uncontrolled as the waters, you will not have excel, because you went up to your father's bed, you went up and defiled my couch.
5 Simeon dan Lewi bersaudara; senjata mereka alat kekerasan.
Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
6 Aku takkan ikut dalam permupakatan mereka, juga tidak di dalam perkumpulan mereka. Sebab mereka membunuh dalam kemarahan, melumpuhkan banteng demi kesenangan.
May I never enter their council. May my honor never be joined with their assembly. For in their anger they killed men, and for pleasure they hamstrung oxen.
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 anger, for it has been fierce, and their fury, 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.
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.
9 Yehuda bagaikan singa muda; ia membunuh mangsanya, lalu kembali ke sarangnya; ia menggeliat lalu berbaring, dan tak seorang pun berani mengusiknya.
Judah is a lion's cub. From the prey, my son, you rise up. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?
10 Yehuda akan memegang tongkat kerajaan, keturunannya akan memerintah selama-lamanya. Bangsa-bangsa akan membawa upeti, dan sujud dengan takluk di hadapannya.
The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. And it is he whom the peoples will obey.
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 his donkey's colt to the choice vine. He will wash his garments in wine, and his robes in the blood of grapes.
12 Merah matanya karena minum anggur, putih giginya karena minum susu.
His eyes will be darker 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.
Zebulun will dwell at the seashore, and he will be a harbor for ships, and his border will be at Sidon.
14 Isakhar itu bagaikan keledai kuat yang berbaring di antara keranjang bebannya.
Issachar is a strong donkey lying down between the saddlebags.
15 Dilihatnya betapa baiknya tempat itu dan betapa indahnya negeri itu, maka membungkuklah ia rela dibebani, dan dipaksa bekerja sebagai hamba.
When he sees a good resting place, that the land is pleasant, he will bend his back to the burden, and become a slave doing forced labor.
16 Engkau Dan, akan mengadili bangsamu, engkau menjadi suku seperti suku lain di Israel.
Dan will judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Engkau seperti ular di pinggir jalan, ular berbisa di tepi lorong, yang memagut tumit kuda sampai terlempar penunggangnya.
Dan will be a serpent on the road, a viper by the path, that bites the horse's heels so that his rider falls backward.
18 Ya TUHAN, keselamatan yang Kauberikan, itulah yang kunanti-nantikan.
I wait for your salvation, God.
19 Gad, engkau akan diserang perampok, namun engkau akan balik merampok mereka.
Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will raid at their heels.
20 Asyer, makananmu limpah mewah, kau akan menyediakan makanan bagi raja-raja.
Asher's food will be rich, and he will provide royal delicacies.
21 Naftali, laksana rusa terlepas, sangat cantik anak-anaknya.
Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.
22 Yusuf bagai keledai muda, keledai liar dekat mata air, berlari-lari di lereng gunung.
Joseph is a fruitful son, a fruitful son by a spring. His branches run over a wall.
23 Musuh menyerang dengan sengit, mengejarnya dengan busur dan panah.
The archers will attack him with bitterness, and shoot at him, and harass him.
24 Namun Yusuf tetap kukuh lengannya, tetap kuat panahnya, karena kuasa Sang Gembala Mahakuat, Allah Yakub, Pelindung Israel.
Yet his bow will remain steady, and his arms will be made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
25 Allah ayahmu menolong engkau; Yang Mahakuasa memberkati engkau dengan hujan dari langit dan air dari bawah tanah. Dengan anak dan sapi,
by the God of your father, who will help you, and El Shaddai, who will bless you with blessings of the sky above, blessings of the deep that lies below, and blessings 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 are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, and the bounty of the everlasting hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, and on the brow of the prince among his brothers.
27 Benyamin adalah serigala ganas. Di pagi hari ia menerkam mangsanya. Di malam hari ia membagi-bagikannya."
Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey, and at evening he will divide the plunder."
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 tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them. He blessed each one with his own individual 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.
Then 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 Hethite,
in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is near Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the field from Ephron the Hethite as a burial place.
31 Di situ dikuburkan Abraham dan Sara, Ishak dan Ribka; dan di situ juga aku menguburkan Lea.
There they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah. There they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and there I buried Leah.
32 Ladang dan gua yang ada di situ telah dibeli dari orang Het. Kuburkanlah aku di situ."
The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the sons of Heth."
33 Setelah Yakub selesai berpesan kepada anak-anaknya, berbaringlah ia lalu meninggal.
When Jacob finished instructing his sons, he drew his legs up into the bed and breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.
