¹Ja Jaakob kutsus oma pojad enese juurde ning ütles: 'Tulge kokku, siis ma kuulutan teile, mis teiega sünnib tulevasil päevil!

¹And Jacob called his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, and I will tell you what will befall you at the end of days.

²Kogunege ja kuulge, Jaakobi pojad, võtke kuulda Iisraeli, oma isa!

²Assemble yourselves, and hear, ye sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father.

³Ruuben, sina oled mu esmasündinu, mu rammu ja sigitusjõu esikpoeg, väljapaistev väärikuselt ja väljapaistev võimult.

³Reuben, thou art my firstborn, My might, and the firstfruits of my vigour: Excellency of dignity, and excellency of strength.

⁴Veena oled sa vooganud - esikohale sa ei jää, sest sa tõusid oma isa sängi! Sel korral sa rüvetasid selle, sina, kes tõusid mu voodile.

⁴Impetuous as the waters, thou shalt have no pre-eminence; Because thou wentest up to thy father's couch: Then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to my bed.

⁵Vennaksed Siimeon ja Leevi, nende noad on vägivalla riistad.

⁵Simeon and Levi are brethren: Instruments of violence their swords.

⁶Nende nõusse ei astu mu hing, nende seltsiga ei liitu mu süda. Sest oma vihas nad tapsid mehi ja meelevallatuses halvasid härgi.

⁶My soul, come not into their council; Mine honour, be not united with their assembly; For in their anger they slew men, And in their wantonness houghed oxen.

⁷Olgu neetud nende kange viha ja nende metsik raev! Ma jaotan nad Jaakobis ja hajutan Iisraelis!

⁷Cursed be their anger, for it [was] violent; And their rage, for it [was] cruel! I will divide them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.

⁸Juuda, sind ülistavad su vennad. Sinu käsi on su vaenlaste turjal, sind kummardavad su isa pojad.

⁸Judah -- [as to] thee, thy brethren will praise thee; Thy hand will be upon the neck of thine enemies; Thy father's children will bow down to thee.

⁹Juuda on lõvikutsikas - saagi kallalt, mu poeg, oled tõusnud. Ta on heitnud maha, ta lebab nagu lõvi, nagu metsik lõvi - kes julgeks teda äratada?

⁹Judah is a young lion; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up. He stoopeth, he layeth himself down as a lion, And as a lioness: who will rouse him up?

¹⁰Ei lahku valitsuskepp Juudast ega sau tema jalgelt, kuni tuleb Juuda poeg Siilo, ja teda võtavad rahvad kuulda.

¹⁰The scepter will not depart from Judah, Nor the lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh come, And to him will be the obedience of peoples.

¹¹Ta seob oma eesli viinapuu külge, hea viinapuu külge oma eeslivarsa; ta peseb oma kuube veiniga ja oma vammust viinamarjade verega.

¹¹He bindeth his foal to the vine, And his ass's colt to the choice vine; He washeth his dress in wine, And his garment in the blood of grapes.

¹²Ta silmad on veinist hämused ja hambad piimast valged.

¹²The eyes are red with wine, And the teeth [are] white with milk.

¹³Sebulon elab mererannal, ta saab laevade rannikuks ja tema selg on pööratud Siidoni poole.

¹³Zebulun will dwell at the shore of the seas; Yea, he will be at the shore of the ships, And his side [toucheth] upon Sidon.

¹⁴Issaskar on kondine eesel, kes lebab sadulakorvide vahel.

¹⁴Issachar is a bony ass, Crouching down between two hurdles.

¹⁵Kui ta nägi head hingamispaika ja meeldivat maad, ta langetas oma turja koormat kandma ja sai tööorjaks.

¹⁵And he saw the rest that it was good, And the land that it was pleasant; And he bowed his shoulder to bear, And was a tributary servant.

¹⁶Daan mõistab kohut oma rahvale, üks Iisraeli suguharu on temagi.

¹⁶Dan will judge his people, As another of the tribes of Israel.

¹⁷Daan on madu teel, rästik raja peal, kes salvab hobuse kandu, nõnda et ratsanik kukub selili.

¹⁷Dan will be a serpent on the way, A horned snake on the path, Which biteth the horse's heels, So that the rider falleth backwards.

¹⁸Ma ootan päästet sinult, Issand!

¹⁸I wait for thy salvation, O Jehovah.

¹⁹Gaad - röövjõugud ründavad teda, aga ta ise ründab neid, olles neil kannul.

¹⁹Gad -- troops will rush upon him; But he will rush upon the heel.

²⁰Aaserilt tuleb rammus roog ja temal on anda kuninglikke maiuspalu.

²⁰Out of Asher, his bread shall be fat, And he will give royal dainties.

²¹Naftali on nobe emahirv, kes toob kuuldavale ilusaid sõnu.

²¹Naphtali is a hind let loose; He giveth goodly words.

²²Joosep on viljapuu poeg, viljapuu poeg allikal, oksad ulatuvad üle müüri.

²²Joseph is a fruitful bough; A fruitful bough by a well; [His] branches shoot over the wall.

²³Ammukütid ahistavad teda, ründavad ja rõhuvad teda,

²³The archers have provoked him, And shot at, and hated him;

²⁴aga tema amb jääb kindlaks ja ta käsivarred on nõtked Jaakobi Vägeva abiga, Karjase, Iisraeli Kalju nime abiga,

²⁴But his bow abideth firm, And the arms of his hands are supple By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob. From thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:

²⁵su isa Jumala abiga, kes sind aidaku, Kõigeväelise abiga, kes sind õnnistagu õnnistustega ülalt taevast, õnnistustega all asuvast põhjaveest, õnnistustega emarindadest ja üskadest!

²⁵From the ùGod of thy father, and he will help thee; And from the Almighty, and he will bless thee -- With blessings of heaven from above, With blessings of the deep that lieth under, With blessings of the breast and of the womb.

²⁶Su isa õnnistused ületavad igaveste mägede õnnistused, ürgsete küngaste ihaldusväärsed annid. Need tulgu Joosepi pea peale, oma vendade vürsti pealaele!

²⁶The blessings of thy father surpass the blessings of my ancestors, Unto the bounds of the everlasting hills: They shall be on the head of Joseph, And on the crown of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

²⁷Benjamin on kiskjalik hunt. Hommikul ta sööb saaki ja õhtul jaotab röövitut.'

²⁷Benjamin -- [as] a wolf will he tear to pieces; In the morning he will devour the prey, And in the evening he will divide the booty.

²⁸Need kõik olid Iisraeli suguharud, neid oli kaksteist, ja see oli, mis nende isa neile rääkis, kui ta neid õnnistas: ta õnnistas igaüht temale kohase õnnistusega.

²⁸All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them; and he blessed them: every one according to his blessing he blessed them.

²⁹Ja ta käskis neid ning ütles neile: 'Mind koristatakse mu rahva juurde. Matke mind mu isade juurde koopasse, mis on hett Efroni väljal,

²⁹And he charged them, and said to them, I am gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

³⁰sellesse koopasse, mis on Makpela väljal Mamre kohal Kaananimaal, mille Aabraham ostis koos väljaga hett Efronilt pärushauaks.

³⁰in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is opposite to Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought of Ephron the Hittite along with the field for a possession of a sepulchre.

³¹Sinna on maetud Aabraham ja tema naine Saara, sinna on maetud Iisak ja tema naine Rebeka, ja sinna ma olen matnud Lea.

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

³²Väli ja seal olev koobas on hettidelt ostetud.'

³²The purchase of the field, and of the cave that is in it, was from the children of Heth.

³³Kui Jaakob oli oma poegadele käsu andnud, siis ta sirutas voodis oma jalad välja ja heitis hinge; ja ta koristati oma rahva juurde.

³³And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered his feet into the bed, and expired, and was gathered to his peoples.
