Бытие 49
1 Призва же Иаков сыны своя и рече им: соберитеся, да возвещу вам, что срящет вас в последния дни:
And Jacob called to his sons, and said, gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days.
2 соберитеся и послушайте мене, сынове Иаковли, послушайте Израиля, послушайте отца вашего.
Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, and hearken to Israel your father.
3 Рувим, первенец мой, ты крепость моя и начало чад моих: жесток терпети и жесток упорник:
Reuben, thou are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the pre-eminence of dignity, and the pre-eminence of power.
4 досадил еси яко вода, да не воскипиши: возшел бо еси на ложе отца твоего, тогда осквернил еси постелю, идеже возшел еси.
Boiling over as water, thou shall not have the pre-eminence, because thou went up to thy father's bed, then thou defiled it; he went up to my couch.
5 Симеон и Левий братия совершиста обиду от воли своея:
Simeon and Levi are brothers, weapons of violence are their swords.
6 в совет их да не приидет душа моя, и к собранию их да не прилепятся внутренняя моя: яко во гневе своем избиста человеки, и в похоти своей пререзаста жилы юнца:
O my soul, come not thou into their council, to their assembly, my glory, be not thou united, for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they hocked an ox.
7 проклята ярость их, яко упорна, и гнев их, яко ожесточися: разделю их во Иакове и разсею их во Израили.
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.
8 Иудо, тебе похвалят братия твоя, руце твои на плещу враг твоих: поклонятся тебе сынове отца твоего:
Judah, thy brothers shall praise thee. Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies. Thy father's sons shall bow down before thee.
9 скимен львов Иуда: от леторасли, сыне мой, возшел еси: возлег уснул еси яко лев и яко скимен: кто возбудит его?
Judah is a lion's whelp. From the prey, my son, thou have gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him up?
10 Не оскудеет князь от Иуды и вождь от чресл его, дондеже приидут отложеная Ему, и Той чаяние языков:

11 привязуяй к лозе жребя свое и к винничию жребца осляте своего, исперет вином одежду свою и кровию гроздия одеяние свое:
