Genesis 49

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
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 ودعا يعقوب بنيه وقال اجتمعوا لانبئكم بما يصيبكم في آخر الايام
2 Gather together and listen, O sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.	2 اجتمعوا واسمعوا يا بني يعقوب. واصغوا الى اسرائيل ابيكم.
3 Reuben, my firstborn, you are my strength and the beginning of my sorrow: first in gifts, greater in authority.	3 رأوبين انت بكري قوتي واول قدرتي فضل الرفعة وفضل العزّ.
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 فائرا كالماء لا تتفضل. لانك صعدت على مضجع ابيك. حينئذ دنسته. على فراشي صعد.
5 The brothers Simeon and Levi: vessels of iniquity waging war.	5 شمعون ولاوي أخوان. آلات ظلم سيوفهما.
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 في مجلسهما لا تدخل نفسي. بمجمعهما لا تتحد كرامتي لانهما في غضبهما قتلا انسانا وفي رضاهما عرقبا ثورا.
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 ملعون غضبهما فانه شديد وسخطهما فانه قاس. اقسمهما في يعقوب وافرقهما في اسرائيل.
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 يهوذا اياك يحمد اخوتك. يدك على قفا اعدائك يسجد لك بنو ابيك.
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 يهوذا جرو اسد. من فريسة صعدت يا ابني. جثا وربض كاسد وكلبوة. من ينهضه.
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 لا يزول قضيب من يهوذا ومشترع من بين رجليه حتى ياتي شيلون وله يكون خضوع شعوب.
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 رابطا بالكرمة جحشه وبالجفنة ابن اتانه غسل بالخمر لباسه وبدم العنب ثوبه.
12 His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.	12 مسود العينين من الخمر ومبيض الاسنان من اللبن.
13 Zebulun will live at the seashore and by the outpost of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.	13 زبولون عند ساحل البحر يسكن وهو عند ساحل السفن وجانبه عند صيدون.
14 Issachar will be a strong donkey, reclining between the borders.	14 يساكر حمار جسيم رابض بين الحظائر.
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 فرأى المحلّ انه حسن والارض انها نزهة. فاحنى كتفه للحمل وصار للجزية عبدا.
16 Dan will judge his people just like any other tribe in Israel.	16 دان يدين شعبه كاحد اسباط اسرائيل.
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 يكون دان حية على الطريق افعوانا على السبيل يلسع عقبي الفرس فيسقط راكبه الى الوراء.
18 I will wait for your salvation, O Lord.	18 لخلاصك انتظرت يا رب
19 Gad, being girded, will fight before him. And he himself will be girded backward.	19 جاد يزحمه جيش. ولكنه يزحم مؤخره.
20 Asher: his bread will be fat, and he will provide delicacies to the kings.	20 اشير خبزه سمين وهو يعطي لذّات ملوك.
21 Naphtali is a stag sent forth, offering words of eloquent beauty.	21 نفتالي ايّلة مسيّبة يعطي اقوالا حسنة.
22 Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and stately to behold; the daughters run back and forth on the wall.	22 يوسف غصن شجرة مثمرة غصن شجرة مثمرة على عين. اغصان قد ارتفعت فوق حائط.
23 But those who held darts, provoked him, and they contend with him, and they envied him.	23 فمرّرته ورمته واضطهدته ارباب السهام.
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 ولكن ثبتت بمتانة قوسه وتشددت سواعد يديه. من يدي عزيز يعقوب من هناك من الراعي صخر اسرائيل
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 من اله ابيك الذي يعينك ومن القادر على كل شيء الذي يباركك تاتي بركات السماء من فوق وبركات الغمر الرابض تحت. بركات الثديين والرحم.
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 بركات ابيك فاقت على بركات ابويّ. الى منية الآكام الدهرية تكون على راس يوسف وعلى قمة نذير اخوته.
27 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, in the morning he will eat the prey, and in the evening he will divide the spoil.”	27 بنيامين ذئب يفترس. في الصباح يأكل غنيمة وعند المساء يقسم نهبا
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 جميع هؤلاء هم اسباط اسرائيل الاثنا عشر. وهذا ما كلمهم به ابوهم وباركهم. كل واحد بحسب بركته باركهم.
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 واوصاهم وقال لهم انا انضم الى قومي. ادفنوني عند آبائي في المغارة التي في حقل عفرون الحثي.
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 في المغارة التي في حقل المكفيلة التي امام ممرا في ارض كنعان التي اشتراها ابراهيم مع الحقل من عفرون الحثي ملك قبر.
31 There they buried him, with his wife Sarah.” And there Isaac was buried with his wife Rebekah. There also Leah lies preserved.	31 هناك دفنوا ابراهيم وسارة امرأته. هناك دفنوا اسحق ورفقة امرأته. وهناك دفنت ليئة.
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 شراء الحقل والمغارة التي فيه كان من بني حثّ.
	33 ولما فرغ يعقوب من توصية بنيه ضم رجليه الى السرير واسلم الروح وانضمّ الى قومه
