Genesis 49 (JUM)

1Aŋ Yaagüüp merkä yeeke bärkene ti, aŋ kiinne ogo, “Wüüke ti ika ti, aŋ ikee nüütke a ŋaaka ken bi näŋï ḍoŋe ikee ti nïïnkä yaaka äätïdï ye ti.Then Jacob called for his sons and said, “Gather around so that I can tell you what will happen to you in the days to come:

2“Ääte ti aŋ tiiŋe, ikee merkälen yeeki, tiiŋe wääc Yaagüüp ti.Come together and listen, O sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.

3“Robïïn, ïkï agä kaygon yeeni, aŋ teynä yeeni ke ïkï agä minneni ïïjïnï woo yen dürkïtïnï, aŋ ïkï agä kültü yen eemdin ke kültü yen teynä.Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in honor, excelling in power.

4Ïkï beelä bata piik tääl wiñe yaaka ïïjïdï ti ye, aŋ ïkï batta bi küülüküül ŋuca, nääŋka attii kä bür yen wääc ti aŋ ḍäälleeda kä yok ye.Uncontrolled as the waters, you will no longer excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, onto my couch, and defiled it.

5“Camoon ke Laawï a mädin gaaḍalli yeeken a yek ïïrrä teynä.Simeon and Levi are brothers; their swords are weapons of violence.

6Dale ŋana ika kaaccädä ti nänṭa ḍülte yoken ye, aŋ dale ŋana yori coorcudu ti jiik yeeken yaaka ḍiikä ye ti. Kä piinkä yeeken iken nääkin me, aŋ iken yätkä naŋe a ŋolku kä ñääy.May I never enter their council; may I never join their assembly. For they kill men in their anger, and hamstring oxen on a whim.

7Tuummu wäätï piinkä yeeken ti kä yaana yejgene yejok ye, aŋ piinkä yeeken yejgaŋ kä yaac, aŋ iken bi piirjä woo kaaynä yeeki gïtï, aŋ iken bi gääjä gïtï mä Icärayiil ti.Cursed be their anger, for it is strong, and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will disperse them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel.

8“Yahüüja, mädgic ïkï bi maaŋgi. Ïṇtü bi wäätï ädäŋŋi yüükü ḍuuggen ti. Aŋ merkä yek wääc muure bi ḍüŋjïdï ïñï ñomü ti.Judah, your brothers shall praise you. Your hand shall be on the necks of your enemies; your father’s sons shall bow down to you.

9Yahüüja a geel ṭuule yaana ḍaŋŋä kä ammä waak'a näge ye. Aŋ yore meecce woo aŋ baati m'ana ike rükü yok ye.Judah is a young lion—my son, you return from the prey. Like a lion he crouches and lies down; like a lioness, who dares to rouse him?

10Yätkïtïn batta bi kaacï woo paa ba Yahüüja, aŋ kilkä yeeke kamat ken bi mügït aŋ ṭoŋ ike bi äckätä iñdinni aŋ ike bi tiiŋkätä.The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes and the allegiance of the nations is his.

11Aŋ tüürüŋle yeene bi weene kä jaan beel bata lüütkon meen, erele yeene bi weene kä jaan beel bata lüütkon meen yaana ŋeraŋ ye, aŋ buruŋgu yeeke bi pure kä määk, jïbbani yeeke bi pure kä piik yek jaan yaana beel bata lüütkon ye ṭulge.He ties his donkey to the vine, his colt to the choicest branch. He washes his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.

12Aŋ waŋge bi tïdaŋ kä maaṇṇä määk kä yaac, aŋ leke bi bowaŋ kä maaṇṇä aak.His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.

13“Aŋ Jabuloon bi cääy ṭiŋal wii mooye jï, aŋ ike bi wäätï a nänṭ'a yuutcete ïñï kuudgu mäyken ye, aŋ tügge bi ḍakcïdï Cïdoon.Zebulun shall dwell by the seashore and become a harbor for ships; his border shall extend to Sidon.

14“Yacakïïr a tüürüŋ teyconḍe yaana nïïn waadgä baliṇṇi ye.Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.

15Aŋ naana nänṭä yïïktäŋ yoorre ŋeraŋ, aŋ ŋommañ ŋeraŋ ye, i büyke gääŋe ïñï ḍürdee kä waak pekkä aŋ bi engä me ñuugal bata kiingon.He saw that his resting place was good and that his land was pleasant, so he bent his shoulder to the burden and submitted to labor as a servant.

16“Ḍaan bi mä yeeke müge aŋ iken bi belok bata kurku mä Icärayiil aŋan.Dan shall provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.

17Aŋ Ḍaan bi beel bata kaaŋ yaana cääy päy mooye taaŋ ye, aŋ a pääññä yaana cääy päy taaŋ ye, a yaana kääjä bagal ŋubduŋgene ti ye, aŋ taapdo ḍïmjï ṭarkic.”He will be a snake by the road, a viper in the path that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider tumbles backward.

18Aŋ Yaagüüp jaajjin ogo, “Ika kiijä maŋŋä yüünü, ay Pïṭo.I await Your salvation, O LORD.

19“Gaat bi irkätä mäddoŋŋi, aŋ bi ñoole aŋ baadde.Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will attack their heels.

20“Acïïr ŋommañ yeene bi giit waak äämkä ñapken. Aŋ ike bi ḍüccïdï waak äämkä yek yätkä.Asher’s food will be rich; he shall provide royal delicacies.

21“Naptaalï a pääy yaana kälit kä tettä yaana giit päykälen ŋerken ye.Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.

22“Yuucip a jaan yaana giit kä yaac ye, a jaan yaana giit kä ceere yen piik ye, kimke muulu kaal wic.Joseph is a fruitful vine—a fruitful vine by a spring, whose branches scale the wall.

23Aŋ ädäŋŋi yeeke ike irki kä yaacken, aŋ ike ḍiŋi kä cäwgä aŋ ike baaydi kä yaac.The archers attacked him with bitterness; they aimed at him in hostility.

24Aŋ kaay yeene agee kä yïïcon, aŋ bugge bïtäraŋ, kä teynä Jooŋ yen Yaagüüp yaana Lïïṭït ye, aŋ kä kaaydo yaana daŋit, a yen mä Icärayiil ye,Yet he steadied his bow, and his strong arms were tempered by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, in the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,

25a Jooŋ yen wääc ken ïkï yüükkedey ti, aŋ a Jooŋ yaana Lïïṭït ye, ken ïkï ŋüülkedey kä ŋüülkïnni yek ñaal yaaka ñaalok polloŋ jï ye, ke ŋüülkïnni yek piik yaaka lürgaŋ ïñï ŋommañ jï ye, ke ŋüülkïnni yek tingä ke kun.by the God of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who blesses you, with blessings of the heavens above, with blessings of the depths below, with blessings of the breasts and womb.

26Ŋüülkïnni yek wääc yäwaŋ käälcïdï woo ŋüülkïnni yek pämkä dänken ke waak ŋerkä yek tüümoni yaaka ke cüle ye ti. Aŋ dale ŋüülkïnni yaakka muure wäätï a Yuucip wiñe ti, yaana a woydo waadgä mädgen ye.The blessings of your father have surpassed the blessings of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince of his brothers.

27“Benyamïïn a bäw yaajgonḍe yaana meken jiije gïtï ye, kä tïṇṇäŋänä aŋŋi ämï yäŋgä yaaka näge ye, aŋ biigin ti aŋŋi waak'a näge ye pääge gïtï.”Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devours the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder.”

28Yaakki muure a kurku kä caay witken kä yew yek Icärayiil, aŋ a waak'a kiinene daa wäyen ye ikki, wääna ŋüülkedeeda kä ye, yaŋkalaŋ daa ŋüülkene kä ŋüülkïn yaana päjjïdï ke ike ye.These are the tribes of Israel, twelve in all, and this was what their father said to them. He blessed them, and he blessed each one with a suitable blessing.

29Aŋ iken iingene kiinne ogo, “Ika bi yori cooṭu ti dänkä yurgo ti kä bïraŋ. Aŋ ika jïga ke wäygo ṭuum yaana yiil yen Aproon ti män Haat ye.Then Jacob instructed them, “I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite.

30A ṭuum yaana yiil jï Makapeela jï cokulaŋ ti Mamar ŋommañ mä Kanaan ti ye, yaana kiyi Abrayiim Aproon män Haat ti, ogo wääto ogo yen jïïgïn ye.The cave is in the field of Machpelah near Mamre, in the land of Canaan. This is the field Abraham purchased from Ephron the Hittite as a burial site.

31Aŋ a nänṭä yaana jïkkene me Abrayiim ke iiŋe Caarra ye ke nänṭä yaana jïkkene me Icaak ke iiŋe Rïpga ye. Aŋ Leya jïŋŋä wïca.There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah are buried, and there I buried Leah.

32Aŋ yiil ke ṭuum yaana jïñe ti yaanna kiygä me mä Haat ti.”The field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the Hittites.”

33Wääna Yaagüüp ḍaŋŋee kä iingin merkä yeeke ye, kïïge nuulene ñaalok bür wic, aŋ ike wääkcin woo wääktäŋ tüwnü aŋ tüwnü, aŋ cooṭi me ti dänkä yurge ti.When Jacob had finished instructing his sons, he pulled his feet into the bed and breathed his last, and he was gathered to his people.
