1 Mojzes 49
1 Jakob je svojim sinovom zaklical in rekel: »Zberite se skupaj, da vam bom lahko povedal to, kar vas bo doletelo v poslednjih dneh.
And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: 'Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the end of days.
2 Zberite se skupaj in poslušajte, vi, Jakobovi sinovi in prisluhnite Izraelu, svojemu očetu.
Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
3 Ruben, ti si moj prvorojenec, moja mogočnost in začetek moje moči, odličnost dostojanstva in odličnost moči,
Reuben, thou art my first-born, my might, and the first-fruits of my strength; the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power.
4 nestabilen kakor voda, ti se ne boš odlikoval. Ker si odšel k postelji svojega očeta, takrat si jo omadeževal. Dvignil se je k mojemu ležišču.
Unstable as water, have not thou the excellency; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it — he went up to my couch.
5 Simeon in Lévi sta brata, sredstva krutosti so v njunih prebivališčih.
Simeon and Levi are brethren; weapons of violence their kinship.
6 Oh moja duša, ne pridi v njuno skrivnost, v njun zbor, moja čast, ne bodi združena, kajti v svoji jezi sta usmrtila človeka in v svoji svojevoljnosti sta spodkopala zid.
Let my soul not come into their council; unto their assembly let my glory not be united; for in their anger they slew men, and in their self-will they houghed oxen.
7 Prekleta bodi njuna jeza, kajti bila je kruta in njun srd, kajti bil je neizprosen. Razdelil ju bom v Jakobu in razkropil v Izraelu.
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 Juda, ti si ta, ki ga bodo tvoji bratje hvalili. Tvoja roka bo na vratu tvojih sovražnikov, otroci tvojega očeta se bodo priklanjali pred teboj.
Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise; thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; thy father's sons shall bow down before thee.
9 Juda je levji mladič. Od plena, moj sin, si se dvignil. Sklonil se je, ležal kakor lev in kakor star lev; kdo ga bo prebudil?
Judah is a lion's whelp; from the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as a lioness; who shall rouse him up?
10 Žezlo ne bo odšlo od Juda niti palica zakona izmed njegovih stopal, dokler ne pride Šilo in k njemu bo zbiranje ljudstva.
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, as long as men come to Shiloh; and unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be.
11 Privezujoč svojega oslička k trti in svojega osličjega žrebeta k izbrani trti, je svoje obleke opral v vinu in svoja oblačila v krvi grozdnih jagod.
Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washeth his garments in wine, and his vesture in the blood of grapes;
12 Njegove oči bodo rdeče od vina in njegovi zobje beli od mleka.
His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13 Zábulon bo prebival pri morskem zavetju in bo za zavetje ladjam in njegova meja bo do Sidóna.
Zebulun shall dwell at the shore of the sea, and he shall be a shore for ships, and his flank shall be upon Zidon.
14 Isahár je močan osel, počivajoč med dvema bremenoma.
Issachar is a large-boned ass, couching down between the sheep-folds.
15 Videl je, da je bil počitek dober in da je bila dežela prijetna in sklonil svojo ramo, da prenaša in postal služabnik davku.
For he saw a resting-place that it was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant under task-work
16 Dan bo sodil svoje ljudstvo kakor enega izmed Izraelovih rodov.
Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan bo kača ob poti, gad na stezi, ki piči konjska kopita, tako da bo njegov jezdec padel vznak.
Dan shall be a serpent in the way, a horned snake in the path, that biteth the horse's heels, so that his rider falleth backward.
18 Pričakoval sem tvojo rešitev duše, oh Gospod.
I wait for Thy salvation, O Lord.
19 Gad, krdelo ga bo premagalo, toda nazadnje bo on premagal.
Gad, a troop shall troop upon him; but he shall troop upon their heel.
20 Iz Aserja bo njegov kruh zajeten in oskrboval bo kraljeve slaščice.
As for Asher, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
21 Neftáli je spuščena košuta. On daje ljubke besede.
Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
22 Jožef je rodovitna veja, rodovitna veja pri vodnjaku, čigar mladike segajo preko zidu.
Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a fountain; its branches run over the wall.
23 Lokostrelci so ga boleče užalostili, streljali nanj in ga sovražili.
The archers have dealt bitterly with him, and shot at him, and hated him;
24 Toda njegov lok je ostal v moči in lakti njegovih rok so bili okrepljeni z rokami mogočnega Jakobovega Boga (od tam je pastir, Izraelov kamen),
But his bow abode firm, and the arms of his hands were made supple, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, from thence, from the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel,
25 celó z Bogom svojih očetov, ki ti bo pomagal in z Vsemogočnim, ki te bo blagoslovil z blagoslovi z neba od zgoraj, blagoslovi iz globine, ki leži spodaj, blagoslovi prsi in maternice.
Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee, and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that coucheth beneath, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
26 Blagoslovi tvojega očeta so prevladali nad blagoslovi mojih prednikov do skrajne meje večnih hribov. Ti bodo na Jožefovi glavi in na têmenu tistega, ki je bil ločen od svojih bratov.
The blessings of thy father are mighty beyond the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of the prince among his brethren.
27 Benjamin bo ropal kakor volk. Zjutraj bo požrl plen, ponoči pa bo razdelil ukradeno blago.«
Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth; in the morning he devoureth the prey, and at even he divideth the spoil.'
28 Vsi ti so dvanajsteri Izraelovi rodovi in to je to, kar jim je njihov oče govoril in jih blagoslovil; vsakega glede na svoj blagoslov jih je blagoslovil.
All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is it that their father spoke unto them and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
29 Zapovedal jim je in jim rekel: »Jaz bom zbran k svojemu ljudstvu. Pokopljite me z mojimi očeti v votlini, ki je na polju Hetejca Efróna,
And he charged them, and said unto them: 'I am to be gathered unto my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30 v votlini, ki je na polju Mahpéli, ki je pred Mamrejem, v kánaanski deželi, ki jo je Abraham kupil s poljem Hetejca Efróna za posest in grobišče.
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 for a possession of a burying-place.
31 Tam so pokopali Abrahama in njegovo ženo Saro, tam so pokopali Izaka in njegovo ženo Rebeko, in tam sem pokopal Leo.
There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32 Nakup polja in votline, ki je na njem, je bil od Hetovih otrok.«
The field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.'
33 Ko je Jakob naredil konec zapovedovanju svojim sinovom, je svoja stopala dvignil v posteljo, izročil duha in bil zbran k svojemu ljudstvu.
And when Jacob made an end of charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered unto his people.
