Genesis 49

Jakov zatim sazva svoje sinove te reče: "Skupite se da vam kažem što će vas snaći u kasnije vrijeme:

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.

Okupite se, čujte, sinovi Jakovljevi, čujte oca svoga Izraela!

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

Ti Rubene, moj prvorođenče, snaga ti si moja, prvenac moje muškosti. Ističeš, se ponosom, snagom se ističeš,

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

no, poput vode nabujao, nećeš više imati prvenstva, jer na ležaj oca svog se pope, moj tad oskvrnu krevet.

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.

Šimun i Levi braća su prava! Mačevi im oruđe nasilja.

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

Na njihova vijećanja ja ne silazio, u njihovim zborovima udjela ne imao! U srdžbi su svojoj ljude ubijali; u obijesti bikove sakatili.

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.

Prokleta im srdžba, jer je prežestoka! Prokleta im obijest, jer je preokrutna! Razdijelit ću ih po Jakovu, Izraelom raspršiti.

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.

Judo! Tvoja braća slavit će te; svagda ti je šaka na šiji dušmana, sinci oca tvoga tebi će se klanjat.

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.

Judo, laviću mali! Plijenom si se, sine, udebljao; poput lava, poput lavice legao potrbuške! Tko bi ga dražiti smio?

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?

Od Jude žezlo se kraljevsko, ni palica vladalačka od nogu njegovih udaljiti neće dok ne dođe onaj kome pripada - kome će se narodi pokoriti.

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.

Svog magarca za lozu privezuje, mlado magarice svoje za čokot. U vinu on kupa svoju odjeću svoju halju u krvi od grožđa.

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:

Oči su mu od vina mutne, zubi bjelji od mlijeka.

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

Zebulun će stanovati uz obalu morsku, luka spasa bit će brodarima, uz bok njegov Sidon će ležati.

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.

Jisakar je koščat magarac polegao među ogradama.

Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:

Vidje da je odmor ugodan, a zemlja lijepa, te leđa svoja pod teret podmetnu i na tlaku pristade.

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.

Dan će narod svoj suditi kao svako pleme Izraelovo.

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

Nek' Dan zmija bude na putu, guja pokraj staze što će konja za zglob ujesti, i njegov konjik nauznak će pasti.

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.

U spas tvoj se, Jahve, uzdam!

I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.

Gada će pljačkat razbojnici, pljačkom će im za petama biti.

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

U Ašera bit će hrane, poslastica za kraljeve.

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

Naftali je košuta lakonoga koja krasnu lanad mladi.

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

Josip je stablo plodno, plodno stablo kraj izvora, grane svoje grana preko zida.

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

Strijelci njega saletjeli, strijeljali ga, opljačkali.

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

Ali luk mu čvrst ostaje, mišice mu ojačale, rukom Jakog Jakovljeva, imenom Pastira, Stijene Izraela,

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:)

Bogom, Ocem tvojim, koji ti pomaže, Svesilnim koji te blagoslivlje blagoslovom ozgo sa nebesa, blagoslovom ozdo iz dubina, blagoslovom iz svih prsa, iz svih utroba!

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:

Blagoslovom klasja i cvjetova, blagoslovom drevnih brda, želja vječnih brežuljaka - nek' se oni spuste na Josipa, između braće posvećenog!

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.

Benjamin je vuk grabežljivi, lovinu on jutrom jede, a navečer plijen dijeli."

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

Sve su to Izraelova plemena - dvanaest ih na broj - i to im je otac rekao kad ih je blagoslivljao; svakoga je od njih blagoslovio njegovim blagoslovom.

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.

Poslije toga im dade ovu naredbu: "Naskoro ću se pridružiti svojim precima. Sahranite me kraj mojih otaca,

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,

u spilji što se nalazi na polju Efrona, Hetita, u spilji na polju Makpeli, nasuprot Mamri, u zemlji kanaanskoj. To je ona koju je Abraham kupio s poljem od Hetita Efrona za mjesto sahranjivanja.

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.

Ondje je sahranjen Abraham i njegova žena Sara; sahranjeni su ondje Izak i njegova žena Rebeka; ondje sam ja sahranio Leu.

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

Polje i spilja na njemu kupljeni su od Hetita."

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

Kad je Jakov tako naputio svoje sinove, povuče noge natrag na postelju te izdahnu - pridruži se svojim precima.

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.
