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 last days.
To pacoengah Jakob mah a capanawk to kawk moe, hmabang angzo han koi hmuen kang thuih o han pongah, ahmuen maeto ah amkhueng oh.
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
Jakob ih caanawk, nawnto amkhueng oh loe, nam Pa Israel ih lok hae tahngai oh.
3 Reuben, thou [art] my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
Reuben, nang loe ka calu, ka thacakhaih, ka tha oh tangsuekhaih, saiqathaih hoi sakthaihaih sang koek ah na oh.
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou [it: ] he went up to my couch.
Tui baktiah nang phui pongah, na hoihhaih om mak ai boeh; nam pa iihhaih nuiah na dawh moe, ka iihhaih to nam hnongsak.
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty [are in] their habitations.
Simeon hoi Levi loe nawkamya ah oh moe, sumsen hoiah kasae sakhaih ahmuen ah a oh hoi.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
Aw ka hinghaih, nihnik mah tamquta hoi sak ih ahmuen ah na thumsak hmah, kai pakoehhaih loe nihcae amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah na thumsak hmah; nihnik loe palungphuihaih hoiah kami to hum hoi moe, a koeh hoi ih baktiah vangpui tapang to paro hoi.
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.
Nihnik loe palungphui hoi, poek amthueng hoi moe, palungduemh hoi pongah kasae zok hoi nasoe! Jakob acaeng thungah nihnik to ka tapraek moe, Israel acaeng thungah kam hetsak phang han.
8 Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand [shall be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.
Judah, nang loe nam yanawk mah pakoeh o tih; na ban loe misanawk ih tahnong nuiah om tih; nam pa ih caanawk loe na hmaa ah akuep o tih.
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 an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
Aw Judah, nang loe kanawk kaipui ah na oh, ka capa, nang loe moi kaekhaih ahmuen hoiah nang zoh tahang moe, na tabok; kaipui baktih, kaipui amno baktih toengah avah; mi mah maw anih to pathawk thai tih?
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].
Shiloh pha ai karoek to tayae toeng loe, Judah khae hoi amhoe mak ai ueloe, a ukhaih cunghet doeh a khok salak hoiah takhoe mak ai; kaminawk loe anih khaeah ni amkhueng o tih.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
Misurkung pongah angmah ih hrang to paeh ueloe, laa hrang caa to kahoih koek misurkung pongah paeh tih; angmah ih khukbuen to misurtui hoi pasuk ueloe, angmah ih laihawnawk doeh misurtui hoiah pasuk tih.
12 His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
Anih ih mik loe misurtui hoi thim ueloe, a ha doeh maitaw tahnutui hoiah anglung tih.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he [shall be] for an haven of ships; and his border [shall be] unto Zidon.
Zebulun loe tuipui taengah om ueloe, palongpui anghakhaih ahmuen ah om tih; anih ih ramri loe Sidon karoek to kawk tih.
14 Issachar [is] a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
Issakar loe mae salakah tabok thacak laa hrang ah oh;
15 And he saw that rest [was] good, and the land that [it was] pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
anghakhaih ahmuen kahoih to a hnuk moe, prae kahoih to a hnuk pongah, angmah ih palaeng nuiah hmuen to koeng ueloe, tamut paek tamna ah om tih.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Dan loe Israel ih acaeng maeto ah oh baktih toengah, angmah ih kaminawk to lokcaek tih.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
Dan loe loklam ah kaom pahui ah om ueloe, hrang angthueng kami to hnuk angnawnsak hanah, hrang khok tahmawh patuk pahui sae ah om tih.
18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
Aw Angraeng, na pahlonghaih to ka zing.
19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
Misanawk mah Gad to tuh o tih, toe anih mah nihcae to tuh let ueloe, hnukkhuem ah pazawk tih.
20 Out of Asher his bread [shall be] fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
Asher ah caaknaek kahoih tacawt tih, siangpahrang paek koi caaknaek to tacawt tih.
21 Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
Naphtali loe angmah koeh baktiah kaom tasuk, kranghoih caa sahkung tasuk ah oh.
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
Joseph loe thacak thingkung, tui taengah kaom thingkung ah oh; anih ih tanghangnawk loe tapang ranui khoek to amzam.
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him:
Kalii kaat kop kaminawk mah anih to paroeai raihaih paek o, hnukma o moe, a kah o;
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from thence [is] the shepherd, the stone of Israel: )
toe anih ih kalii loe thazok ai; anih ih ban tampawk loe Jakob Sithaw ih ban thacakhaih rang hoiah, (tuutoep kami ah kaom, Israel ih lungsong ah oh; )
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 lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
nang loe nang bomkung, nam pa ih Sithaw rang hoiah nang han van ranui hoi tahamhoihaih paekkung, Sithaw rang hoiah tha na cak; atlim ah kaom kathuk tahamhoihaih, tahnutui hoi caa im tahamhoihaih mah nang han tahamhoihaih paek nasoe;
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above 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 him that was separate from his brethren.
nam pa mah paek ih tahamhoihaih loe, canghni ah mae nui ih tahamhoihaih, dungzan maesomnawk nuiah kaom kahoih hmuennawk pongah doeh len kue; to tahamhoihaih loe Joseph ih lu nuiah om nasoe loe, amyanawk hoi kamhoe ah kaom kami ih lu nuiah om nasoe.
27 Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
Benjamin loe kalomh thaih tasui ah oh; anih loe khawnthaw ah moi to kaek ueloe, aqum ah a lomh ih hmuen to tapraek tih, tiah a naa.
28 All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this [is it] that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
Hae kaminawk loe Isreal acaeng hatlai hnetto ah oh o, ampa mah nihcae khaeah thuih pae ih lok loe hae tiah oh; ampa mah nihcae hak han koi tahamhoihaih to paek boih.
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,
To pacoengah nihcae khaeah hae tiah lokthuih pae; Kai loe kaimah ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah ka caeh han boeh; Hit kami Ephron ih lawk thungah kaom thlungkhaw thungah kam panawk hoi nawnto na phum oh,
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 of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
to thlungkhaw loe Kanaan prae, Mamre vangpui pha ai naah, Makpelah ahmuen ah oh moe, Abraham mah Hit kami Ephron khaeah, lawk hoi nawnto taprong sak hanah a qanh.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
Abraham hoi a zu Sarah, Issak hoi a zu Rebakah loe to ahmuen ah aphum o; Leah doeh to ahmuen ah ka phum.
32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that [is] therein [was] from the children of Heth.
Lawk hoi thlungkhaw loe, Hit kaminawk khaeah ni ka qanh, tiah a naa.
33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
A caanawk khaeah lokthuih boih pacoengah, Jakob loe a iihhaih ahmuen ah a khok to azuh tahang, hinghaih qui apet pacoengah, angmah ih kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah angkuem.
