Genesis 49
1 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.
Na ka karanga a Hakopa ki ana tamariki, ka mea, Huihui mai, a ka korerotia e ahau ki a koutou nga mea e pono ki a koutou i nga ra o muri.
2 Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
Huihui mai, whakarongo hoki, e nga tama a Hakopa; whakarongo hoki ki a Iharaira, ki to koutou papa.
3 Reuben, thou art my first-born, my might, and the first-fruits of my strength; the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power.
E Reupena, ko koe taku matamua, toku pakaritanga, me te timatanga o toku kaha; te hiranga ake o te kororia, te hiranga ake hoki o te kaha:

He mea pokarekare, ano he wai, e kore koe e kaka; mo tou pikitanga i te moenga o tou papa; pokea iho e koe a reira: i pikitia e ia toku takotoranga.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; weapons of violence their kinship.
He tuakana, he teina, a Himiona raua ko Riwai; he rakau riri kino a raua hoari.
6 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.
Kaua e tomo, e toku wairua, ki to raua runanga; kaua e huihuia, e toku kororia, ki to raua whakaminenga: i patu tangata hoki raua i a raua e riri ana, a he hikaka no raua i kopa ai te kau.
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.
Kia kanga to raua riri, i kaha nei; me to raua aritarita, no te mea he nanakia: ka wehea atu raua e ahau ki roto ki a Hakopa, ka whakamararatia hoki raua ki roto ki a Iharaira.
8 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.
E Hura, ko koe e whakamoemititia e ou tuakana, e ou teina: ka u tou ringa ki te kaki o ou hoariri: ka piko ki a koe nga tama a tou papa.
9 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?
He kuao raiona a Hura: i kake atu koe, e taku tama, i te haenga: i piko, i tapapa ia, i pera me te raiona, i pera hoki me te raiona katua; ma wai ia e whakaoho?
10 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.
E kore e riro ke te hepeta i a Hura, me te tokotoko o te kawana i waenganui o ona waewae, kia tae mai ra ano a Hiro; a ka rongo nga iwi katoa ki a ia.
11 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;
Ka herea e ia tana kuao ki te waina, te tama hoki a tana kaihe ki te waina pai rawa; ka horoia e ia ona kakahu ki te waina, ona weruweru hoki ki te toto o te karepe:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
Ka mumura hoki ona kanohi i te waina, ka ma ona niho i te waiu.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the shore of the sea, and he shall be a shore for ships, and his flank shall be upon Zidon.
Ka noho a Hepurona ki te wahapu o te moana; hei wahapu ano ia mo nga kaipuke; ka tutuki atu hoki tona rohe ki Hairona.
14 Issachar is a large-boned ass, couching down between the sheep-folds.
He kaihe kaha a Ihakara, e tapapa ana i waenga o nga moenga hipi e rua:
15 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
A, i tona kitenga i te okiokinga he pai, i te whenua hoki he ahuareka; na ka tukua iho e ia tona pokohiwi ki te pikaunga, a meinga ana ia hei pononga homai takoha.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Ka whakawa a Rana i tona iwi, ka pera ano me tetahi o nga iwi o Iharaira.
17 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.
Hei nakahi a Rana ki te ara, hei neke hoki ki te huarahi, e ngau ai i te rekereke o te hoiho, a ka taka whakamuri tona kaieke.
18 I wait for Thy salvation, O Lord.
Kua tatari atu ahau ki tau whakaoranga, e Ihowa.
19 Gad, a troop shall troop upon him; but he shall troop upon their heel.
Ko Kara, ka aki te ope ki runga ki a ia: otiia ka aki ia ki to ratou rekereke.
20 As for Asher, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
Ko ta Ahera, ka momona tana taro, a he kai kingi ona hua.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
Ko Napatari, he hata kua tukua kia haere: e homai ana e ia nga kupu papai.
22 Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a fountain; its branches run over the wall.
Ko Hohepa he peka hua, he peka hua i te taha o te puna; e toro atu ana ona manga ki tua o te taiepa:
23 The archers have dealt bitterly with him, and shot at him, and hated him;
I whakatupu kino nga kaikopere i a ia, i pere mai hoki, i kino hoki ki a ia:
24 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,
Otiia i mau tana kopere i runga i te kaha, a i whakapakaritia nga takakau o ona ringa e nga ringa o te Mea Kaha o Hakopa, no reira nei te hepara, te kamaka o Iharaira,
25 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.
Ara e te Atua o tou papa, mana ano koe e awhina; e te Kaha Rawa hoki, mana e tuku mai ki a koe nga manaaki o te rangi i runga, nga manaaki hoki o te rire e takoto ana i raro, nga manaaki o nga u, o te kopu hoki:
26 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.
Hira ake nga manaaki a tou papa i nga manaaki a oku tupuna, tae atu ana ki tera taha rawa o nga pukepuke tu tonu: ka tau iho ena mea ki runga ki te matenga o Hohepa, ki te tumuaki hoki ona i motuhia atu nei i ona tuakana.
27 Benjamin is a wolf that raveneth; in the morning he devoureth the prey, and at even he divideth the spoil.'
Ka haehae a Pineamine ano he wuruhi: ka kainga e ia te tupapaku i te ata, a i te ahiahi ka tuwhaina e ia nga taonga parakete.
28 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.
Ko enei katoa nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira: ko te korero hoki tenei a to ratou papa ki a ratou, ko tana manaaki i a ratou: i manaakitia ratou e ia, tenei, tenei, me tona manaaki ano.
29 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,
A i whakahau ia ki a ratou, i mea ki a ratou, Ka kohia atu ahau ki toku iwi: tanumia ahau ki oku matua, ki te ana i te parae o Eperona Hiti,
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 for a possession of a burying-place.
Ki te ana i te parae o Makapera, i te ritenga o Mamere, i te whenua o Kanaana, i hokona, me te parae ano, e Aperahama i a Eperona Hiti, kia puritia hei tanumanga.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
I tanumia a Aperahama raua ko Hara, ko tana wahine, ki reira; i tanumia a Ihaka raua ko Ripeka, ko tana wahine, ki reira; i tanumia hoki a Rea e ahau ki reira.
32 The field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.'
I hokona te parae me te ana i reira i nga tama a Hete.
33 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.
A, ka mutu te whakahau a Hakopa ki ana tama, ka pepeke ake ona waewae ki roto ki te moenga, a ka hemo, ka kohia atu ki tona iwi.
