Génesis 49
Schlachter-Bibel 1951
1Und Jakob berief seine Söhne und sprach: Kommt zusammen, daß ich euch kundtue, was euch in künftigen Tagen begegnen wird!
2Versammelt euch und merket auf, ihr Söhne Jakobs, höret auf euren Vater Israel!
3Ruben, du bist mein erstgeborner Sohn, meine Kraft und der Anfang meiner Stärke, von hervorragender Würde und vorzüglicher Kraft.
4Du warst wie kochendes Wasser, du sollst nicht den Vorzug haben; denn du bist auf deines Vaters Bett gestiegen, hast dazumal mein Lager entweiht; er stieg hinauf!
5Die Brüder Simeon und Levi Mordwerkzeuge sind ihre Messer!
6Meine Seele komme nicht in ihren Kreis und meine Ehre vereine sich nicht mit ihrer Versammlung! Denn in ihrem Zorn haben sie Männer gemordet und in ihrer Willkür Ochsen verstümmelt.
7Verflucht sei ihr Zorn, weil er so heftig, und ihr Grimm, weil er so hartnäckig ist! Ich will sie verteilen unter Jakob und zerstreuen unter Israel.
8Dich, Juda, werden deine Brüder loben! Deine Hand wird auf dem Nacken deiner Feinde sein; vor dir werden deines Vaters Kinder sich neigen.
9Juda ist ein junger Löwe; mit Beute beladen stiegst du, mein Sohn, empor! Er ist niedergekniet und hat sich gelagert wie ein Löwe und wie eine Löwin; wer darf ihn aufwecken?
10Es wird das Zepter nicht von Juda weichen, noch der Herrscherstab von seinen Füßen, bis daß der Schilo kommt und ihm die Völkerschaften unterworfen sind.
11Er wird sein Füllen an den Weinstock binden; und der Eselin Junges an die Edelrebe; er wird sein Kleid im Weine waschen und seinen Mantel in Traubenblut;
12seine Augen sind dunkel vom Wein und seine Zähne weiß von Milch.
13Sebulon wird an der Anfurt des Meeres wohnen und den Schiffen zur Anfurt dienen, und er lehnt sich an Sidon an.
14Issaschar ist ein knochiger Esel, der zwischen den Hürden liegt;
15und weil er sah, daß die Ruhe gut und das Land lieblich war, so neigte er seine Schultern zum Tragen und wurde ein fronpflichtiger Knecht.
16Dan wird sein Volk richten als einer der Stämme Israels
17Dan wird eine Schlange am Wege sein, eine Otter auf dem Pfad, die das Roß in die Fersen beißt, daß der Reiter rücklings stürzt.
18O HERR, ich warte auf dein Heil!
19Den Gad drängt eine Schar; aber er drängt sie zurück.
20Für Asser ist sein Brot zu fett; aber er gibt königliche Leckerbissen.
21Naphtali ist eine ausgelassene Hirschkuh und kann schöne Worte machen.
22Joseph ist ein junger Fruchtbaum, ein junger Fruchtbaum an der Quelle; seine Zweige klettern über die Mauer hinaus.
23Es haben ihn zwar die Schützen heftig beschossen und bekämpft;
24aber sein Bogen blieb unerschütterlich und seine Arme und seine Hände wurden gelenkt von den Händen des Mächtigen Jakobs, vom Namen des Hirten, des Felsens Israels.
25Von deines Vaters Gott werde dir geholfen, und Gott der Allmächtige segne dich mit Segnungen vom Himmel herab, mit Segnungen der Tiefe, die unten liegt, mit Segnungen von Brüsten und Mutterschoß!
26Die Segnungen deines Vaters überragen die Segnungen meiner Eltern, sie reichen bis an die ewigen Hügel; mögen sie kommen auf Josephs Haupt, auf den Scheitel des Fürsten unter seinen Brüdern!
27Benjamin ist ein reißender Wolf; am Morgen verzehrt er Raub und am Abend teilt er sich in die Beute.
28Diese alle sind Stämme Israels, ihrer zwölf; und das ist's, was ihr Vater zu ihnen geredet und womit er sie gesegnet hat; und zwar segnete er einen jeden mit einem besonderen Segen.
29Und er gebot ihnen und sprach: Ich werde zu meinem Volk versammelt werden; begrabet mich bei meinen Vätern in der Höhle auf dem Acker Ephrons, des Hetiters,
30in der Höhle Machpelah, Mamre gegenüber im Lande Kanaan, wo Abraham den Acker gekauft hat von Ephron, dem Hetiter, zum Erbbegräbnis.
31Daselbst hat man Abraham und sein Weib Sarah begraben, desgleichen Isaak und sein Weib Rebekka, und dort habe ich auch Lea begraben;
32der Acker und seine Höhle wurde den Hetitern abgekauft.
33Als aber Jakob seine Befehle an seine Söhne vollendet hatte, zog er seine Füße aufs Bett zurück, verschied und ward zu seinem Volke versammelt.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y LLAMÓ Jacob á sus hijos, y dijo: Juntaos, y os declararé lo que os ha de acontecer en los postreros días.
2Juntaos y oid, hijos de Jacob; y escuchad á vuestro padre Israel.
3Rubén, tú eres mi primogénito, mi fortaleza, y el principio de mi vigor; principal en dignidad, principal en poder.
4Corriente como las aguas, no seas el principal; por cuanto subiste al lecho de tu padre: entonces te envileciste, subiendo á mi estrado.
5Simeón y Leví, hermanos: armas de iniquidad sus armas.
6En su secreto no entre mi alma, ni mi honra se junte en su compañía; que en su furor mataron varón, y en su voluntad arrancaron muro.
7Maldito su furor, que fué fiero; y su ira, que fué dura: yo los apartaré en Jacob, y los esparciré en Israel.
8Judá, alabarte han tus hermanos: tu mano en la cerviz de tus enemigos: los hijos de tu padre se inclinarán á ti.
9Cachorro de león Judá: de la presa subiste, hijo mío: encorvóse, echóse como león, así como león viejo; ¿quién lo despertará?
10No será quitado el cetro de Judá, y el legislador de entre sus piés, hasta que venga Shiloh; y á él se congregarán los pueblos.
11Atando á la vid su pollino, y á la cepa el hijo de su asna, lavó en el vino su vestido, y en la sangre de uvas su manto:
12Sus ojos bermejos del vino, y los dientes blancos de la leche.
13Zabulón en puertos de mar habitará, y será para puerto de navíos; y su término hasta Sidón.
14Issachâr, asno huesudo echado entre dos tercios:
15Y vió que el descanso era bueno, y que la tierra era deleitosa; y bajó su hombro para llevar, y sirvió en tributo.
16Dan juzgará á su pueblo, como una de las tribus de Israel.
17Será Dan serpiente junto al camino, cerasta junto á la senda, que muerde los talones de los caballos, y hace caer por detrás al cabalgador de ellos.
18Tu salud esperé, oh Jehová.
19Gad, ejército lo acometerá; mas él acometerá al fin.
20El pan de Aser será grueso, y él dará deleites al rey.
21Nephtalí, sierva dejada, que dará dichos hermosos.
22Ramo fructífero José, ramo fructífero junto á fuente, cuyos vástagos se extienden sobre el muro.
23Y causáronle amargura, y asaeteáronle, y aborreciéronle los archeros:
24Mas su arco quedó en fortaleza, y los brazos de sus manos se corroboraron por las manos del Fuerte de Jacob, (de allí el pastor, y la piedra de Israel,)
25Del Dios de tu padre, el cual te ayudará, y del Omnipotente, el cual te bendecirá con bendiciones de los cielos de arriba, con bendiciones del abismo que está abajo, con bendiciones del seno y de la matriz.
26Las bendiciones de tu padre fueron mayores que las bendiciones de mis progenitores: hasta el término de los collados eternos serán sobre la cabeza de José, y sobre la mollera del Nazareo de sus hermanos.
27Benjamín, lobo arrebatador: á la mañana comerá la presa, y á la tarde repartirá los despojos.
28Todos estos fueron las doce tribus de Israel: y esto fué lo que su padre les dijo, y bendíjolos; á cada uno por su bendición los bendijo.
29Mandóles luego, y díjoles: Yo voy á ser reunido con mi pueblo: sepultadme con mis padres en la cueva que está en el campo de Ephrón el Hetheo;
30En la cueva que está en el campo de Macpela, que está delante de Mamre en la tierra de Canaán, la cual compró Abraham con el mismo campo de Ephrón el Hetheo, para heredad de sepultura.
31Allí sepultaron á Abraham y á Sara su mujer; allí sepultaron á Isaac y á Rebeca su mujer; allí también sepulté yo á Lea.
32La compra del campo y de la cueva que está en él, fué de los hijos de Heth.
33Y como acabó Jacob de dar órdenes á sus hijos, encogió sus pies en la cama, y espiró: y fué reunido con sus padres.
King James Version
1And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
2Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
3Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
4Unstable 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.
5Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6O 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.
7Cursed 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.
8Judah, 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.
9Judah 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?
10The 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.
11Binding 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:
12His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
14Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
15And 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.
16Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
18I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
19Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
20Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
21Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
22Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
23The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24But 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:)
25Even 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:
26The 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.
27Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
28All 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.
29And 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,
30In 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.
31There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
32The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
33And 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.
World English Bible
1Jacob called to his sons, and said: “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.
2Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
3“Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power.
4Boiling over like water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed, then defiled it. He went up to my couch.
5“Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
6My soul, don’t come into their council. My glory, don’t be united to their assembly; for in their anger they killed men. In their self-will they hamstrung cattle.
7Cursed 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, your brothers will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies. Your father’s sons will bow down before you.
9Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?
10The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs. The obedience of the peoples will be to him.
11Binding his foal to the vine, his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
12His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.
13“Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.
14“Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags.
15He saw a resting place, that it was good, the land, that it was pleasant. He bows his shoulder to the burden, and becomes a servant doing forced labor.
16“Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17Dan will be a serpent on the trail, an adder in the path, that bites the horse’s heels, so that his rider falls backward.
18I have waited for your salvation, LORD.
19“A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.
20“Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.
21“Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.
22“Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.
23The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:
24But his bow remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, (from there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel),
25even by the God of your father, who will help you, by the Almighty, who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb.
26The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.
27“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”
28All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them, and blessed them. He blessed everyone according to his own blessing.
29He instructed them, and said to them, “I am to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as a burial place.
31There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:
32the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”
33When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.
