Genesis 49

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Jacob called his sons and said: "Gather around, that I may tell you what is to happen to you in days to come.	1 ودعا يعقوب بنيه وقال اجتمعوا لانبئكم بما يصيبكم في آخر الايام
2 "Assemble and listen, sons of Jacob, listen to Israel, your father.	2 اجتمعوا واسمعوا يا بني يعقوب. واصغوا الى اسرائيل ابيكم.
3 "You, Reuben, my first-born, my strength and the first fruit of my manhood, excelling in rank and excelling in power!	3 رأوبين انت بكري قوتي واول قدرتي فضل الرفعة وفضل العزّ.
4 Unruly as water, you shall no longer excel, for you climbed into your father's bed and defiled my couch to my sorrow.	4 فائرا كالماء لا تتفضل. لانك صعدت على مضجع ابيك. حينئذ دنسته. على فراشي صعد.
5 "Simeon and Levi, brothers indeed, weapons of violence are their knives.	5 شمعون ولاوي أخوان. آلات ظلم سيوفهما.
6 Let not my soul enter their council, or my spirit be joined with their company; For in their fury they slew men, in their willfulness they maimed oxen.	6 في مجلسهما لا تدخل نفسي. بمجمعهما لا تتحد كرامتي لانهما في غضبهما قتلا انسانا وفي رضاهما عرقبا ثورا.
7 Cursed be their fury so fierce, and their rage so cruel! I will scatter them in Jacob, disperse them throughout Israel.	7 ملعون غضبهما فانه شديد وسخطهما فانه قاس. اقسمهما في يعقوب وافرقهما في اسرائيل.
8 "You, Judah, shall your brothers praise --your hand on the neck of your enemies; the sons of your father shall bow down to you.	8 يهوذا اياك يحمد اخوتك. يدك على قفا اعدائك يسجد لك بنو ابيك.
9 Judah, like a lion's whelp, you have grown up on prey, my son. He crouches like a lion recumbent, the king of beasts--who would dare rouse him?	9 يهوذا جرو اسد. من فريسة صعدت يا ابني. جثا وربض كاسد وكلبوة. من ينهضه.
10 The scepter shall never depart from Judah, or the mace from between his legs, While tribute is brought to him, and he receives the people's homage.	10 لا يزول قضيب من يهوذا ومشترع من بين رجليه حتى ياتي شيلون وله يكون خضوع شعوب.
11 He tethers his donkey to the vine, his purebred ass to the choicest stem. In wine he washes his garments his robe in the blood of grapes.	11 رابطا بالكرمة جحشه وبالجفنة ابن اتانه غسل بالخمر لباسه وبدم العنب ثوبه.
12 His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth are whiter than milk.	12 مسود العينين من الخمر ومبيض الاسنان من اللبن.
13 "Zebulun shall dwell by the seashore (This means a shore for ships), and his flank shall be based on Sidon.	13 زبولون عند ساحل البحر يسكن وهو عند ساحل السفن وجانبه عند صيدون.
14 "Issachar is a rawboned ass, crouching between the saddlebags.	14 يساكر حمار جسيم رابض بين الحظائر.
15 When he saw how good a settled life was, and how pleasant the country, He bent his shoulder to the burden and became a toiling serf.	15 فرأى المحلّ انه حسن والارض انها نزهة. فاحنى كتفه للحمل وصار للجزية عبدا.
16 "Dan shall achieve justice for his kindred like any other tribe of Israel.	16 دان يدين شعبه كاحد اسباط اسرائيل.
17 Let Dan be a serpent by the roadside, a horned viper by the path, That bites the horse's heel, so that the rider tumbles backward.	17 يكون دان حية على الطريق افعوانا على السبيل يلسع عقبي الفرس فيسقط راكبه الى الوراء.
18 "(I long for your deliverance, O LORD!)	18 لخلاصك انتظرت يا رب
19 "Gad shall be raided by raiders, but he shall raid at their heels.	19 جاد يزحمه جيش. ولكنه يزحم مؤخره.
20 "Asher's produce is rich, and he shall furnish dainties for kings.	20 اشير خبزه سمين وهو يعطي لذّات ملوك.
21 "Naphtali is a hind let loose which brings forth lovely fawns.	21 نفتالي ايّلة مسيّبة يعطي اقوالا حسنة.
22 "Joseph is a wild colt ,a wild colt by a spring, a wild ass on a hillside.	22 يوسف غصن شجرة مثمرة غصن شجرة مثمرة على عين. اغصان قد ارتفعت فوق حائط.
23 Harrying and attacking, the archers opposed him;	23 فمرّرته ورمته واضطهدته ارباب السهام.
24 But each one's bow remained stiff, as their arms were unsteady, By the power of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock 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, who helps you, God Almighty, who blesses you, With the blessings of the heavens above, the blessings of the abyss that crouches below, The blessings of breasts and 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 fresh grain and blossoms, The blessings of the everlasting mountains, the delights of the eternal hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince 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; mornings he devours the prey, and evenings he distributes the spoils."	27 بنيامين ذئب يفترس. في الصباح يأكل غنيمة وعند المساء يقسم نهبا
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father said about them, as he bade them farewell and gave to each of them an appropriate message.	28 جميع هؤلاء هم اسباط اسرائيل الاثنا عشر. وهذا ما كلمهم به ابوهم وباركهم. كل واحد بحسب بركته باركهم.
29 Then he gave them this charge: "Since I am about to be taken to my kindred, bury me with my fathers in the cave that lies 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 the cave in the field of Machpelah, facing on Mamre, in the land of Canaan, the field that Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite for a burial ground.	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 Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried, and so are Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and there, too, I buried Leah--	31 هناك دفنوا ابراهيم وسارة امرأته. هناك دفنوا اسحق ورفقة امرأته. وهناك دفنت ليئة.
32 the field and the cave in it that had been purchased from the Hittites."	32 شراء الحقل والمغارة التي فيه كان من بني حثّ.
33 When Jacob had finished giving these instructions to his sons, he drew his feet into the bed, breathed his last, and was taken to his kindred.	33 ولما فرغ يعقوب من توصية بنيه ضم رجليه الى السرير واسلم الروح وانضمّ الى قومه
