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.

¹A Jakob povolal svojich synov a riekol: Sídite sa, a oznámim vám, čo sa bude s vami diať v pozdejších dňoch.

²Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.

²Shromaždite sa a počujte, synovia Jakobovi, počujte Izraela, svojho otca!

³Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:

³Rúben, ty si môj prvorodený, moja sila a počiatok mojej vlády, predné dôstojnosti a predné moci.

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.

⁴Zkypenie u teba jako zkypenie vody; nebudeš vynikať, lebo si vystúpil na ložu svojho otca. Vtedy si poškvrnil moju posteľ vystúpiac na ňu.

⁵Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

⁵Simeon a Lévi sú bratia; ich meče sú nástrojmi ukrutnosti.

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.

⁶Nech nevojde moja duša do ich rady a moja sláva nech sa nepripojí k ich shromaždeniu, lebo vo svojom hneve zavraždili muža a vo svojej samovôli podrezali volovi žily.

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.

⁷Zlorečený ich hnev, pretože bol násilnícky, a ich prchlivosť, pretože bola tvrdá. Rozdelím ich v Jakobovi a rozptýlim ich v Izraelovi.

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.

⁸Júda, teba budú chváliť tvoji bratia. Tvoja ruka bude na šiji tvojich nepriateľov. Klaňať sa ti budú synovia tvojho otca.

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?

⁹Júda je ľvíča. Od lúpeže, môj synu, odišiel si hore. Sklonil sa, leží jako lev a jako ľvica; kto ho zobudí, aby vstal?!

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.

¹⁰Neuhne berla od Júdu ani palica zákonodarcu zpomedzi jeho kolien, dokiaľ neprijde Šílo, a jeho budú poslúchať národy.

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:

¹¹Priviaže svoje osľa na vinič a na výbornú révu syna svojej oslice; operie svoje rúcho vo víne a v krvi hrozna svoj odev.

¹²His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

¹²Bude tmavších očí nad víno, a belších zubov nad mlieko.

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.

¹³Zabulon, bude bývať smerom ku brehu mora a sám bude prístavom lodí, a jeho hranica sa potiahne na Sidon.

¹⁴Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:

¹⁴Izachár, kostnatý osol silný, ktorý leží medzi dvoma ohradami.

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.

¹⁵Keď uvidí odpočinok, že je dobrý, a zem, že je rozkošná, zohne svoje plece, aby niesol bremä a slúžiac bude dávať daň.

¹⁶Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.

¹⁶Dán, bude súdiť svoj ľud ako jedno z pokolení Izraelových.

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.

¹⁷Dán bude hadom na ceste, jedovatým hadom rohatým na chodníku, ktorý štípe päty koňa, aby padol jeho jazdec nazad.

¹⁸I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.

¹⁸Na tvoje spasenie očakávam, Hospodine!

¹⁹Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.

¹⁹Gád, zástup ho bude sovierať, ale naposledy on sovrie.

²⁰Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.

²⁰Z Asera? Jeho chlieb bude samá tučnota, a on bude dodávať rozkošné potraviny kráľovské.

²¹Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.

²¹Naftali, vypustená jelenica, ktorý dáva krásne reči.

²²Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

²²Jozef je syn plodného stromu, syn plodného stromu nad prameňom; jeho letorasty vychádzajú na múr.

²³The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:

²³Boli ho naplnili horkosťou; strieľali do neho a útočili na neho strelci, strieľajúci strely z lučišťa.

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:)

²⁴No, jeho lučište zostalo v sile, a pružnými zostávajú ramená jeho rúk od rúk mocného Boha Jakobovho, odtiaľ pastier, kameň Izraelov,

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:

²⁵od silného Boha, Boha tvojho otca, ktorý ti bude pomáhať, a od Všemohúceho, ktorý ťa požehná požehnaním neba s hora, požehnaniami hlbiny, ktorá sa rozkladá pod zemou dole, požehnaniami pŕs a lona.

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.

²⁶Požehnania tvojho otca budú mocnejšie ako boly požehnania mojich predkov, a to až po hranice večných brehov; budú složené na hlavu Jozefovu, na temeno nazareja jeho bratov.

²⁷Benjamin shall raven as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.

²⁷Benjamin bude jako dravý vlk; ráno bude jesť lúpež a na večer rozdelí korisť.

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.

²⁸To všetko sú pokolenia Izraelove, ktorých je dvanásť. A to je to, čo im hovoril ich otec, a požehnal ich, každého z nich požehnal podľa toho, jaké bolo ktorého požehnanie.

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,

²⁹A prikázal im a riekol im: Ja budem pripojený k svojmu ľudu. Pochovajte ma k mojim otcom, do jaskyne, ktorá je na poli Efrona Hetejského,

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.

³⁰v jaskyni, ktorá je na poli Machpela, ktorá je naproti Mamremu, v Kananejskej zemi, ktorú to jaskyňu kúpil Abrahám i s poľom od Efrona Hetejského, aby mu bolo vlastníctvom na pohrabište.

³¹There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.

³¹Tam pochovali Abraháma i Sáru, jeho ženu; tam pochovali Izáka i Rebeku, jeho ženu, a tam som ja pochoval Leu.

³²The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.

³²Pole i jaskyňa, ktorá je na ňom, je kúpou od synov Heta.

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.

³³A keď prestal Jakob prikazovať svojim synom, vyložil svoje nohy na posteľ a zomrel a bol pripojený k svojmu ľudu.
