1And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
1ودعا يعقوب بنيه وقال اجتمعوا لانبئكم بما يصيبكم في آخر الايام
2Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
2اجتمعوا واسمعوا يا بني يعقوب. واصغوا الى اسرائيل ابيكم.
3Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
3رأوبين انت بكري قوتي واول قدرتي فضل الرفعة وفضل العزّ.
4Unstable 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.
4فائرا كالماء لا تتفضل. لانك صعدت على مضجع ابيك. حينئذ دنسته. على فراشي صعد.
5Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
5شمعون ولاوي أخوان. آلات ظلم سيوفهما.
6O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall.
6في مجلسهما لا تدخل نفسي. بمجمعهما لا تتحد كرامتي لانهما في غضبهما قتلا انسانا وفي رضاهما عرقبا ثورا.
7Cursed 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.
7ملعون غضبهما فانه شديد وسخطهما فانه قاس. اقسمهما في يعقوب وافرقهما في اسرائيل.
8Judah, 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.
8يهوذا اياك يحمد اخوتك. يدك على قفا اعدائك يسجد لك بنو ابيك.
9Judah 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?
9يهوذا جرو اسد. من فريسة صعدت يا ابني. جثا وربض كاسد وكلبوة. من ينهضه.
10The 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.
10لا يزول قضيب من يهوذا ومشترع من بين رجليه حتى ياتي شيلون وله يكون خضوع شعوب.
11Binding 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:
11رابطا بالكرمة جحشه وبالجفنة ابن اتانه غسل بالخمر لباسه وبدم العنب ثوبه.
12His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
12مسود العينين من الخمر ومبيض الاسنان من اللبن.
13Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
13زبولون عند ساحل البحر يسكن وهو عند ساحل السفن وجانبه عند صيدون.
14Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
14يساكر حمار جسيم رابض بين الحظائر.
15And 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.
15فرأى المحلّ انه حسن والارض انها نزهة. فاحنى كتفه للحمل وصار للجزية عبدا.
16Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
16دان يدين شعبه كاحد اسباط اسرائيل.
17Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
17يكون دان حية على الطريق افعوانا على السبيل يلسع عقبي الفرس فيسقط راكبه الى الوراء.
18I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
18لخلاصك انتظرت يا رب
19Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
19جاد يزحمه جيش. ولكنه يزحم مؤخره.
20Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
20اشير خبزه سمين وهو يعطي لذّات ملوك.
21Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
21نفتالي ايّلة مسيّبة يعطي اقوالا حسنة.
22Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
22يوسف غصن شجرة مثمرة غصن شجرة مثمرة على عين. اغصان قد ارتفعت فوق حائط.
23The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
23فمرّرته ورمته واضطهدته ارباب السهام.
24But 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:)
24ولكن ثبتت بمتانة قوسه وتشددت سواعد يديه. من يدي عزيز يعقوب من هناك من الراعي صخر اسرائيل
25Even 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:
25من اله ابيك الذي يعينك ومن القادر على كل شيء الذي يباركك تاتي بركات السماء من فوق وبركات الغمر الرابض تحت. بركات الثديين والرحم.
26The 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.
26بركات ابيك فاقت على بركات ابويّ. الى منية الآكام الدهرية تكون على راس يوسف وعلى قمة نذير اخوته.
27Benjamin shall raven as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
27بنيامين ذئب يفترس. في الصباح يأكل غنيمة وعند المساء يقسم نهبا
28All 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.
28جميع هؤلاء هم اسباط اسرائيل الاثنا عشر. وهذا ما كلمهم به ابوهم وباركهم. كل واحد بحسب بركته باركهم.
29And 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,
29واوصاهم وقال لهم انا انضم الى قومي. ادفنوني عند آبائي في المغارة التي في حقل عفرون الحثي.
30In 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.
30في المغارة التي في حقل المكفيلة التي امام ممرا في ارض كنعان التي اشتراها ابراهيم مع الحقل من عفرون الحثي ملك قبر.
31There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
31هناك دفنوا ابراهيم وسارة امرأته. هناك دفنوا اسحق ورفقة امرأته. وهناك دفنت ليئة.
32The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
32شراء الحقل والمغارة التي فيه كان من بني حثّ.
33And 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.
33ولما فرغ يعقوب من توصية بنيه ضم رجليه الى السرير واسلم الروح وانضمّ الى قومه
