Genesis 49
Maori Bible
49 Na ka karanga a Hakopa ki ana tamariki, ka mea, Huihui mai, a ka korerotia e ahau ki a koutou nga mea e pono ki a koutou i nga ra o muri.
2 Huihui mai, whakarongo hoki, e nga tama a Hakopa; whakarongo hoki ki a Iharaira, ki to koutou papa.
3 E Reupena, ko koe taku matamua, toku pakaritanga, me te timatanga o toku kaha; te hiranga ake o te kororia, te hiranga ake hoki o te kaha:
4 He mea pokarekare, ano he wai, e kore koe e kaka; mo tou pikitanga i te moenga o tou papa; pokea iho e koe a reira: i pikitia e ia toku takotoranga.
5 He tuakana, he teina, a Himiona raua ko Riwai; he rakau riri kino a raua hoari.
6 Kaua e tomo, e toku wairua, ki to raua runanga; kaua e huihuia, e toku kororia, ki to raua whakaminenga: i patu tangata hoki raua i a raua e riri ana, a he hikaka no raua i kopa ai te kau.
7 Kia kanga to raua riri, i kaha nei; me to raua aritarita, no te mea he nanakia: ka wehea atu raua e ahau ki roto ki a Hakopa, ka whakamararatia hoki raua ki roto ki a Iharaira.
8 E Hura, ko koe e whakamoemititia e ou tuakana, e ou teina: ka u tou ringa ki te kaki o ou hoariri: ka piko ki a koe nga tama a tou papa.
9 He kuao raiona a Hura: i kake atu koe, e taku tama, i te haenga: i piko, i tapapa ia, i pera me te raiona, i pera hoki me te raiona katua; ma wai ia e whakaoho?
10 E kore e riro ke te hepeta i a Hura, me te tokotoko o te kawana i waenganui o ona waewae, kia tae mai ra ano a Hiro; a ka rongo nga iwi katoa ki a ia.
11 Ka herea e ia tana kuao ki te waina, te tama hoki a tana kaihe ki te waina pai rawa; ka horoia e ia ona kakahu ki te waina, ona weruweru hoki ki te toto o te karepe:
12 Ka mumura hoki ona kanohi i te waina, ka ma ona niho i te waiu.
13 Ka noho a Hepurona ki te wahapu o te moana; hei wahapu ano ia mo nga kaipuke; ka tutuki atu hoki tona rohe ki Hairona.
14 He kaihe kaha a Ihakara, e tapapa ana i waenga o nga moenga hipi e rua:
15 A, i tona kitenga i te okiokinga he pai, i te whenua hoki he ahuareka; na ka tukua iho e ia tona pokohiwi ki te pikaunga, a meinga ana ia hei pononga homai takoha.
16 Ka whakawa a Rana i tona iwi, ka pera ano me tetahi o nga iwi o Iharaira.
17 Hei nakahi a Rana ki te ara, hei neke hoki ki te huarahi, e ngau ai i te rekereke o te hoiho, a ka taka whakamuri tona kaieke.
18 Kua tatari atu ahau ki tau whakaoranga, e Ihowa.
19 Ko Kara, ka aki te ope ki runga ki a ia: otiia ka aki ia ki to ratou rekereke.
20 Ko ta Ahera, ka momona tana taro, a he kai kingi ona hua.
21 Ko Napatari, he hata kua tukua kia haere: e homai ana e ia nga kupu papai.
22 Ko Hohepa he peka hua, he peka hua i te taha o te puna; e toro atu ana ona manga ki tua o te taiepa:
23 I whakatupu kino nga kaikopere i a ia, i pere mai hoki, i kino hoki ki a ia:
24 Otiia i mau tana kopere i runga i te kaha, a i whakapakaritia nga takakau o ona ringa e nga ringa o te Mea Kaha o Hakopa, no reira nei te hepara, te kamaka o Iharaira,
25 Ara e te Atua o tou papa, mana ano koe e awhina; e te Kaha Rawa hoki, mana e tuku mai ki a koe nga manaaki o te rangi i runga, nga manaaki hoki o te rire e takoto ana i raro, nga manaaki o nga u, o te kopu hoki:
26 Hira ake nga manaaki a tou papa i nga manaaki a oku tupuna, tae atu ana ki tera taha rawa o nga pukepuke tu tonu: ka tau iho ena mea ki runga ki te matenga o Hohepa, ki te tumuaki hoki ona i motuhia atu nei i ona tuakana.
27 Ka haehae a Pineamine ano he wuruhi: ka kainga e ia te tupapaku i te ata, a i te ahiahi ka tuwhaina e ia nga taonga parakete.
28 Ko enei katoa nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira: ko te korero hoki tenei a to ratou papa ki a ratou, ko tana manaaki i a ratou: i manaakitia ratou e ia, tenei, tenei, me tona manaaki ano.
29 A i whakahau ia ki a ratou, i mea ki a ratou, Ka kohia atu ahau ki toku iwi: tanumia ahau ki oku matua, ki te ana i te parae o Eperona Hiti,
30 Ki te ana i te parae o Makapera, i te ritenga o Mamere, i te whenua o Kanaana, i hokona, me te parae ano, e Aperahama i a Eperona Hiti, kia puritia hei tanumanga.
31 I tanumia a Aperahama raua ko Hara, ko tana wahine, ki reira; i tanumia a Ihaka raua ko Ripeka, ko tana wahine, ki reira; i tanumia hoki a Rea e ahau ki reira.
32 I hokona te parae me te ana i reira i nga tama a Hete.
33 A, ka mutu te whakahau a Hakopa ki ana tama, ka pepeke ake ona waewae ki roto ki te moenga, a ka hemo, ka kohia atu ki tona iwi.
Genesis 49
New International Version
Genesis 49
New International Version
Jacob Blesses His Sons(A)
49 Then Jacob called for his sons and said: “Gather around so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come.(B)
3 “Reuben, you are my firstborn,(E)
my might, the first sign of my strength,(F)
excelling in honor,(G) excelling in power.
4 Turbulent as the waters,(H) you will no longer excel,
for you went up onto your father’s bed,
onto my couch and defiled it.(I)
5 “Simeon(J) and Levi(K) are brothers—
their swords[a] are weapons of violence.(L)
6 Let me not enter their council,
let me not join their assembly,(M)
for they have killed men in their anger(N)
and hamstrung(O) oxen as they pleased.
7 Cursed be their anger, so fierce,
and their fury,(P) so cruel!(Q)
I will scatter them in Jacob
and disperse them in Israel.(R)
8 “Judah,[b](S) your brothers will praise you;
your hand will be on the neck(T) of your enemies;
your father’s sons will bow down to you.(U)
9 You are a lion’s(V) cub,(W) Judah;(X)
you return from the prey,(Y) my son.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down,
like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah,(Z)
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,[c]
until he to whom it belongs[d] shall come(AA)
and the obedience of the nations shall be his.(AB)
11 He will tether his donkey(AC) to a vine,
his colt to the choicest branch;(AD)
he will wash his garments in wine,
his robes in the blood of grapes.(AE)
12 His eyes will be darker than wine,
his teeth whiter than milk.[e](AF)
13 “Zebulun(AG) will live by the seashore
and become a haven for ships;
his border will extend toward Sidon.(AH)
14 “Issachar(AI) is a rawboned[f] donkey
lying down among the sheep pens.[g](AJ)
15 When he sees how good is his resting place
and how pleasant is his land,(AK)
he will bend his shoulder to the burden(AL)
and submit to forced labor.(AM)
16 “Dan[h](AN) will provide justice for his people
as one of the tribes of Israel.(AO)
17 Dan(AP) will be a snake by the roadside,
a viper along the path,(AQ)
that bites the horse’s heels(AR)
so that its rider tumbles backward.
22 “Joseph(BB) is a fruitful vine,(BC)
a fruitful vine near a spring,
whose branches(BD) climb over a wall.[k]
23 With bitterness archers attacked him;(BE)
they shot at him with hostility.(BF)
24 But his bow remained steady,(BG)
his strong arms(BH) stayed[l] limber,
because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,(BI)
because of the Shepherd,(BJ) the Rock of Israel,(BK)
25 because of your father’s God,(BL) who helps(BM) you,
because of the Almighty,[m](BN) who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above,
blessings of the deep springs below,(BO)
blessings of the breast(BP) and womb.(BQ)
26 Your father’s blessings are greater
than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
than[n] the bounty of the age-old hills.(BR)
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph,(BS)
on the brow of the prince among[o] his brothers.(BT)
27 “Benjamin(BU) is a ravenous wolf;(BV)
in the morning he devours the prey,(BW)
in the evening he divides the plunder.”(BX)
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel,(BY) and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them, giving each the blessing(BZ) appropriate to him.
The Death of Jacob
29 Then he gave them these instructions:(CA) “I am about to be gathered to my people.(CB) Bury me with my fathers(CC) in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite,(CD) 30 the cave in the field of Machpelah,(CE) near Mamre(CF) in Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the field(CG) as a burial place(CH) from Ephron the Hittite. 31 There Abraham(CI) and his wife Sarah(CJ) were buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah(CK) were buried, and there I buried Leah.(CL) 32 The field and the cave in it were bought from the Hittites.[p](CM)”
33 When Jacob had finished giving instructions to his sons, he drew his feet up into the bed, breathed his last and was gathered to his people.(CN)
