Ang Pahayag ni Jacob tungkol sa Kanyang mga Anak
49 Ipinatawag ni Jacob ang kanyang mga anak at sinabi, “Lumapit kayo sa akin, at sasabihin ko sa inyo ang mangyayari sa inyo sa hinaharap:
2 “Kayo mga anak, magsilapit sa akin,
akong inyong ama ay sumandaling dinggin.
3 “Si Ruben ang aking panganay na anak,
sa lahat kong supling ay pinakamalakas;
4 mapusok ang loob, baha ang katulad, bawat madaanan ay sumasambulat.
Sa kabila nito'y hindi ka sisikat, hindi mangunguna, hindi matatanyag;
pagkat ang ama mo ay iyong hinamak,
dangal ng aliping-asawa ko ay iyong winasak.
5 “Simeon at Levi na magkapatid,
ang sandata ninyo'y ipinanlulupig;
6 sa usapan ninyo'y di ako sasali,
sa inyong gawain, hindi babahagi.
Kapag nagagalit agad pumapatay,
lumpo pati hayop kung makatuwaan.
7 Kayo'y susumpain, sa bangis at galit,
sa ugali ninyo na mapagmalabis;
kayo'y magkawatak-watak sa buong lupain,
sa buong Israel ay pangangalatin.
8 “Ikaw naman, Juda, ay papupurihan niyong mga anak ng ina mong mahal,
hawak mo sa leeg ang iyong kaaway,
lahat mong kapatid sa iyo'y gagalang.
9 Mabangis(A) na leon ang iyong larawan,
muling nagkukubli matapos pumatay;
ang tulad ni Juda'y leong nahihimlay,
walang mangangahas lumapit sinuman.
10 Setrong sagisag ng lakas at kapangyarihan
sa kanya kailanma'y hindi lilisan;
mga bansa sa kanya'y magkakaloob,
mga angkan sa kanya'y maglilingkod.
11 Batang asno niya doon natatali,
sa puno ng ubas na tanging pinili;
mga damit niya'y doon nilalabhan,
sa alak ng ubas na lubhang matapang.
12 Mata'y namumula dahilan sa alak,
ngipi'y pumuputi sa inuming gatas.
13 “Sa baybaying-dagat doon ka, Zebulun,
ang sasakyang-dagat sa iyo kakanlong;
ang iyong lupai'y aabot sa Sidon.
14 “Malakas na asno ang katulad mo, Isacar,
ngunit sa kulungan ka maglulumagak.
15 Nang kanyang makita iyong pahingahan,
ang lupain doo'y tunay na mainam,
tiniis na niyang makuba sa pasan,
nagpaalipin na kahit mahirapan.
16 “Si Dan ay magiging isang pangunahin,
katulad ng ibang pinuno ng Israel.
17 Ahas na mabagsik sa tabi ng daan,
na handang tumuklaw sa kabayong daraan;
upang maihulog iyong taong sakay.
18 “Sa pagliligtas mo, O Diyos, ako'y maghihintay.
19 “Haharangin si Gad ng mga tulisan,
lalabanan niya at magtatakbuhan.
20 “Ang bukid ni Asher ay pag-aanihan
ng mga pagkain ng taong marangal.
21 “Si Neftali naman ay tulad ng usa,
malaya't ang dalang balita'y maganda.
22 “Si Jose nama'y baging na mabunga.
Sa tabi ng bukal nakatanim siya,
paakyat sa pader ang pagtubo niya.
23 Mga mangangaso ang nagpapahirap,
hinahabol siya ng palaso't sibat.
24 Subalit ang iyong busog ay mananatiling malakas,
ang iyong mga bisig ay palalakasin,
ang dahilan nito'y ang Diyos ni Jacob,
pastol ng Israel, matibay na muog.
25 Diyos ng iyong ama'y siyang sasaklolo,
ang Makapangyarihang Diyos magbabasbas sa iyo.
Magbuhat sa langit, bubuhos ang ulan,
malalim na tubig sa lupa'y bubukal;
dibdib na malusog, pati bahay-bata'y pagpapalain di't kanyang babasbasan.
26 Darami ang ani, bulaklak gayon din,
maalamat na bundok ay pagpapalain;
pati mga burol magkakamit-aliw.
Pagpapalang ito nawa ay makamit ni Joseng nawalay sa mga kapatid.
27 “Tulad ni Benjami'y lobong pumapatay,
sumisila ito ng inaalmusal.
Kung gabi, ang huli'y pinaghahatian.”
28 Ito ang labindalawang anak ni Israel, at gayon sila binasbasan ng kanilang ama ayon sa basbas na angkop sa kanila.
Namatay at Inilibing si Jacob
29 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jacob sa kanyang mga anak, “Ngayo'y papanaw na ako upang makasama ng mga ninunong namayapa na. Doon ninyo ako ililibing sa pinaglibingan sa aking mga magulang, sa yungib sa bukid ni Efron na Heteo. 30 Ang(B) libingang iyo'y nasa Macpela, sa silangan ng Mamre, sa may Canaan. Binili iyon ni Abraham, 31 at(C) doon siya inilibing pati ang kanyang asawang si Sara. Doon din inilibing ang mag-asawang Isaac at Rebeca, at doon ko rin inilibing si Lea. 32 Ang bukid at yungib na iyon ay binili nga sa mga Heteo.” 33 Matapos(D) masabi ang lahat ng ito, siya ay humimlay at namatay.
Genesis 49
King James Version
49 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.
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
4 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.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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?
10 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.
11 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:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13 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.
14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
15 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.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 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.
18 I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.
19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 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:)
25 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:
26 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.
27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
28 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.
29 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,
30 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.
31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32 The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
33 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.
