Genesis 49

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 Then Jacob called his sons, and he said to them: “Gather together, so that I may announce what will happen to you in the last days.	1 εκαλεσεν δε ιακωβ τους υιους αυτου και ειπεν συναχθητε ινα αναγγειλω υμιν τι απαντησει υμιν επ' εσχατων των ημερων
2 Gather together and listen, O sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.	2 αθροισθητε και ακουσατε υιοι ιακωβ ακουσατε ισραηλ του πατρος υμων
3 Reuben, my firstborn, you are my strength and the beginning of my sorrow: first in gifts, greater in authority.	3 ρουβην πρωτοτοκος μου συ ισχυς μου και αρχη τεκνων μου σκληρος φερεσθαι και σκληρος αυθαδης
4 You are being poured out like water, may you not increase. For you climbed onto your father’s bed, and you defiled his resting place.	4 εξυβρισας ως υδωρ μη εκζεσης ανεβης γαρ επι την κοιτην του πατρος σου τοτε εμιανας την στρωμνην ου ανεβης
5 The brothers Simeon and Levi: vessels of iniquity waging war.	5 συμεων και λευι αδελφοι συνετελεσαν αδικιαν εξ αιρεσεως αυτων
6 Let not my soul go by their counsel, nor my glory be within their meeting. For in their fury they killed a man, and in their self-will they undermined a wall.	6 εις βουλην αυτων μη ελθοι η ψυχη μου και επι τη συστασει αυτων μη ερεισαι τα ηπατα μου οτι εν τω θυμω αυτων απεκτειναν ανθρωπους και εν τη επιθυμια αυτων ενευροκοπησαν ταυρον
7 Cursed be their fury, because it was obstinate, and their indignation, because it was harsh. I will divide them in Jacob, and I will scatter them in Israel.	7 επικαταρατος ο θυμος αυτων οτι αυθαδης και η μηνις αυτων οτι εσκληρυνθη διαμεριω αυτους εν ιακωβ και διασπερω αυτους εν ισραηλ
8 Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be at the necks of your enemies; the sons of your father will reverence you.	8 ιουδα σε αινεσαισαν οι αδελφοι σου αι χειρες σου επι νωτου των εχθρων σου προσκυνησουσιν σοι οι υιοι του πατρος σου
9 Judah is a lion’s young. You have gone up to the prey, my son. While resting, you have lain like a lion. And just like a lioness, who would rouse him?	9 σκυμνος λεοντος ιουδα εκ βλαστου υιε μου ανεβης αναπεσων εκοιμηθης ως λεων και ως σκυμνος τις εγερει αυτον
10 The scepter from Judah and the leader from his thigh will not be taken away, until he who will be sent arrives, and he will be the expectation of Gentiles.	10 ουκ εκλειψει αρχων εξ ιουδα και ηγουμενος εκ των μηρων αυτου εως αν ελθη τα αποκειμενα αυτω και αυτος προσδοκια εθνων
11 Tying his young colt to the vineyard, and his donkey, O my son, to the vine, he will wash his robe in wine, and his cloak in the blood of the grape.	11 δεσμευων προς αμπελον τον πωλον αυτου και τη ελικι τον πωλον της ονου αυτου πλυνει εν οινω την στολην αυτου και εν αιματι σταφυλης την περιβολην αυτου
12 His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.	12 χαροποι οι οφθαλμοι αυτου απο οινου και λευκοι οι οδοντες αυτου η γαλα
13 Zebulun will live at the seashore and by the outpost of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.	13 ζαβουλων παραλιος κατοικησει και αυτος παρ' ορμον πλοιων και παρατενει εως σιδωνος
14 Issachar will be a strong donkey, reclining between the borders.	14 ισσαχαρ το καλον επεθυμησεν αναπαυομενος ανα μεσον των κληρων
15 He saw that rest would be good, and that the land was excellent. And so he bent his shoulder to carry, and he became a servant under tribute.	15 και ιδων την αναπαυσιν οτι καλη και την γην οτι πιων υπεθηκεν τον ωμον αυτου εις το πονειν και εγενηθη ανηρ γεωργος
16 Dan will judge his people just like any other tribe in Israel.	16 δαν κρινει τον εαυτου λαον ωσει και μια φυλη εν ισραηλ
17 Let Dan be a snake in the way, a viper in the path, biting the hooves of horses, so that his rider may fall backward.	17 και γενηθητω δαν οφις εφ' οδου εγκαθημενος επι τριβου δακνων πτερναν ιππου και πεσειται ο ιππευς εις τα οπισω
18 I will wait for your salvation, O Lord.	18 την σωτηριαν περιμενω κυριου
19 Gad, being girded, will fight before him. And he himself will be girded backward.	19 γαδ πειρατηριον πειρατευσει αυτον αυτος δε πειρατευσει αυτων κατα ποδας
20 Asher: his bread will be fat, and he will provide delicacies to the kings.	20 ασηρ πιων αυτου ο αρτος και αυτος δωσει τρυφην αρχουσιν
21 Naphtali is a stag sent forth, offering words of eloquent beauty.	21 νεφθαλι στελεχος ανειμενον επιδιδους εν τω γενηματι καλλος
22 Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and stately to behold; the daughters run back and forth on the wall.	22 υιος ηυξημενος ιωσηφ υιος ηυξημενος ζηλωτος υιος μου νεωτατος προς με αναστρεψον
23 But those who held darts, provoked him, and they contend with him, and they envied him.	23 εις ον διαβουλευομενοι ελοιδορουν και ενειχον αυτω κυριοι τοξευματων
24 His bow sits in strength, and the bands of his arms and hands have been let loose by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob. From there he went forth as a pastor, the stone of Israel.	24 και συνετριβη μετα κρατους τα τοξα αυτων και εξελυθη τα νευρα βραχιονων χειρων αυτων δια χειρα δυναστου ιακωβ εκειθεν ο κατισχυσας ισραηλ
25 The God of your father will be your helper, and the Almighty will bless you with the blessings of heaven above, with the blessings of the abyss that lies beneath, with the blessings of the breasts and of the womb.	25 παρα θεου του πατρος σου και εβοηθησεν σοι ο θεος ο εμος και ευλογησεν σε ευλογιαν ουρανου ανωθεν και ευλογιαν γης εχουσης παντα ενεκεν ευλογιας μαστων και μητρας
26 The blessings of your father are strengthened by the blessings of his fathers, until the desire of the hills of eternity shall arrive. May they be at the head of Joseph, and at the summit of the Nazarite, among his brothers.	26 ευλογιας πατρος σου και μητρος σου υπερισχυσεν επ' ευλογιαις ορεων μονιμων και επ' ευλογιαις θινων αεναων εσονται επι κεφαλην ιωσηφ και επι κορυφης ων ηγησατο αδελφων
27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, in the morning he will eat the prey, and in the evening he will divide the spoil.”	27 βενιαμιν λυκος αρπαξ το πρωινον εδεται ετι και εις το εσπερας διαδωσει τροφην
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. These things their father spoke to them, and he blessed each one with their proper blessings.	28 παντες ουτοι υιοι ιακωβ δωδεκα και ταυτα ελαλησεν αυτοις ο πατηρ αυτων και ευλογησεν αυτους εκαστον κατα την ευλογιαν αυτου ευλογησεν αυτους
29 And he instructed them, saying: “I am being gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,	29 και ειπεν αυτοις εγω προστιθεμαι προς τον εμον λαον θαψατε με μετα των πατερων μου εν τω σπηλαιω ο εστιν εν τω αγρω εφρων του χετταιου
30 opposite Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought, along with its field, from Ephron the Hittite, as a possession for burial.	30 εν τω σπηλαιω τω διπλω τω απεναντι μαμβρη εν τη γη χανααν ο εκτησατο αβρααμ το σπηλαιον παρα εφρων του χετταιου εν κτησει μνημειου
31 There they buried him, with his wife Sarah.” And there Isaac was buried with his wife Rebekah. There also Leah lies preserved.	31 εκει εθαψαν αβρααμ και σαρραν την γυναικα αυτου εκει εθαψαν ισαακ και ρεβεκκαν την γυναικα αυτου και εκει εθαψα λειαν
32 And having finished these commands by which he instructed his sons, he drew his feet onto the bed, and he passed away. And he was gathered to his people.	32 εν κτησει του αγρου και του σπηλαιου του οντος εν αυτω παρα των υιων χετ
	33 και κατεπαυσεν ιακωβ επιτασσων τοις υιοις αυτου και εξαρας τους ποδας αυτου επι την κλινην εξελιπεν και προσετεθη προς τον λαον αυτου
