49ΓΕΝΕΣΙΣ ΚΟΣΜΟΥBrenton(Lxx)GENESIS Revised Standard VersionLIBER BRESITH ID EST GENESIS 49

1Ἑκάλεσεν δὲ Ιακωβ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Συνάχθητε, ἵνα ἀναγγείλω ὑμῖν, τί ἀπαντήσει ὑμῖν ἐπ' ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν· Jacob's last words. Gn.49.1-28Then Jacob called his sons, and said, "Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in days to come.וַיִּקְרָא יַעֲקֹב אֶל־בָּנָיו וַיֹּאמֶר
    הֵאָסְפוּ וְאַגִּידָה לָכֶם אֵת אֲשֶׁר־יִקְרָא אֶתְכֶם בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים׃
1
2ἀθροίσθητε καὶ ἀκούσατε, υἱοὶ Ιακωβ,
ἀκούσατε Ισραηλ τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν.
 Assemble and hear, O sons of Jacob,
and hearken to Israel your father.
הִקָּבְצוּ וְשִׁמְעוּ בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב וְשִׁמְעוּ אֶל־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲבִיכֶם׃ 2
3Ρουβην, πρωτότοκός μου σύ,
ἰσχύς μου καὶ ἀρχὴ τέκνων μου,
σκληρὸς φέρεσθαι καὶ σκληρὸς αὐθάδης.
 Reuben, you are my first-born,
my might, and the first fruits of my strength,
pre-eminent in pride and pre-eminent in power.
רְאוּבֵן בְּכֹרִי אַתָּה כֹּחִי וְרֵאשִׁית אֹונִי
יֶתֶר שְׂאֵת וְיֶתֶר עָז׃
3
4ἐξύβρισας ὡς ὕδωρ, μὴ ἐκζέσῃς·
ἀνέβης γὰρ ἐπὶ τὴν κοίτην τοῦ πατρός σου·
τότε ἐμίανας τὴν στρωμνήν, οὗ ἀνέβης.
 Unstable as water, you shall not have pre-eminence
because you went up to your father's bed;
then you defiled it - you went up to my couch!
פַּחַז כַּמַּיִם אַל־תֹּותַר כִּי עָלִיתָ מִשְׁכְּבֵי אָבִיךָ
אָז חִלַּלְתָּ יְצוּעִי עָלָה׃ ף
4
5Συμεων καὶ Λευι ἀδελφοί·
συνετέλεσαν ἀδικίαν ἐξ αἱρέσεως αὐτῶν.
 Simeon and Levi are brothers;
weapons of violence are their swords.
שִׁמְעֹון וְלֵוִי אַחִים כְּלֵי חָמָס מְכֵרֹתֵיהֶם׃ 5
6εἰς βουλὴν αὐτῶν μὴ ἔλθοι ἡ ψυχή μου,
καὶ ἐπὶ τῇ συστάσει αὐτῶν μὴ ἐρείσαι τὰ ἥπατά μου,
ὅτι ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτῶν ἀπέκτειναν ἀνθρώπους
καὶ ἐν τῇ ἐπιθυμίᾳ αὐτῶν ἐνευροκόπησαν ταῦρον.
 O my soul, come not into their council;
O my spirit, be not joined to their company;
for in their anger they slay men,
and in their wantonness they hamstring oxen.
בְּסֹדָם אַל־תָּבֹא נַפְשִׁי בִּקְהָלָם אַל־תֵּחַד כְּבֹדִי
כִּי בְאַפָּם הָרְגוּ אִישׁ וּבִרְצֹנָם עִקְּרוּ־שֹׁור׃
6
7ἐπικατάρατος ὁ θυμὸς αὐτῶν, ὅτι αὐθάδης,
καὶ ἡ μῆνις αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐσκληρύνθη·
διαμεριῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν Ιακωβ
καὶ διασπερῶ αὐτοὺς ἐν Ισραηλ.
 Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;
and their wrath, for it is cruel!
I will divide them in Jacob
and scatter them in Israel.
אָרוּר אַפָּם כִּי עָז וְעֶבְרָתָם כִּי קָשָׁתָה
אֲחַלְּקֵם בְּיַעֲקֹב וַאֲפִיצֵם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל׃ ס
7
8Ιουδα, σὲ αἰνέσαισαν οἱ ἀδελφοί σου·
αἱ χεῖρές σου ἐπὶ νώτου τῶν ἐχθρῶν σου·
προσκυνήσουσίν σοι οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ πατρός σου.
 Judah, your brothers shall praise you;
your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
your father's sons shall bow down before you.
יְהוּדָה אַתָּה יֹודוּךָ אַחֶיךָ יָדְךָ בְּעֹרֶף אֹיְבֶיךָ
יִשְׁתַּחֲוּוּ לְךָ בְּנֵי אָבִיךָ׃
8
9σκύμνος λέοντος Ιουδα·
ἐκ βλαστοῦ, υἱέ μου, ἀνέβης·
ἀναπεσὼν ἐκοιμήθης ὡς λέων καὶ ὡς σκύμνος·
τίς ἐγερεῖ αὐτόν;
 Judah is a lion's whelp;
from the prey, my son, you have gone up.
He stooped down, he couched as a lion,
and as a lioness; who dares rouse him up?
גּוּר אַרְיֵה יְהוּדָה מִטֶּרֶף בְּנִי עָלִיתָ
כָּרַע רָבַץ כְּאַרְיֵה וּכְלָבִיא מִי יְקִימֶנּוּ׃
9
10οὐκ ἐκλείψει ἄρχων ἐξ Ιουδα
καὶ ἡγούμενος ἐκ τῶν μηρῶν αὐτοῦ,
ἕως ἂν ἔλθῃ τὰ ἀποκείμενα αὐτῷ,
καὶ αὐτὸς προσδοκία ἐθνῶν.
 The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler's staff from between his feet,
until he comes to whom it belongs;
and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
לֹא־יָסוּר שֵׁבֶט מִיהוּדָה וּמְחֹקֵק מִבֵּין רַגְלָיו
עַד כִּי־יָבֹא [כ= שִׁילֹה] [ק= שִׁילֹו] וְלֹו יִקְּהַת עַמִּים׃
10
11δεσμεύων πρὸς ἄμπελον τὸν πῶλον αὐτοῦ
καὶ τῇ ἕλικι τὸν πῶλον τῆς ὄνου αὐτοῦ·
πλυνεῖ ἐν οἴνῳ τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἐν αἵματι σταφυλῆς τὴν περιβολὴν αὐτοῦ·
 Binding his foal to the vine
and his ass's colt to the choice vine,
he washes his garments in wine
and his vesture in the blood of grapes;
אֹסְרִי לַגֶּפֶן [כ= עִירֹה] [ק= עִירֹו] וְלַשֹּׂרֵקָה בְּנִי אֲתֹנֹו
כִּבֵּס בַּיַּיִן לְבֻשֹׁו וּבְדַם־עֲנָבִים [כ= סוּתֹה] [ק= סוּתֹו]׃
11
12χαροποὶ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ οἴνου,
καὶ λευκοὶ οἱ ὀδόντες αὐτοῦ ἢ γάλα.
 his eyes shall be red with wine,
and his teeth white with milk.
חַכְלִילִי עֵינַיִם מִיָּיִן וּלְבֶן־שִׁנַּיִם מֵחָלָב׃ ף 12
13Ζαβουλων παράλιος κατοικήσει,
καὶ αὐτὸς παρ' ὅρμον πλοίων,
καὶ παρατενεῖ ἕως Σιδῶνος.
 Zeb'ulun shall dwell at the shore of the sea;
he shall become a haven for ships,
and his border shall be at Sidon.
זְבוּלֻן לְחֹוף יַמִּים יִשְׁכֹּן וְהוּא לְחֹוף אֳנִיֹּות
וְיַרְכָתֹו עַל־צִידֹן׃ ס
13
14Ισσαχαρ τὸ καλὸν ἐπεθύμησεν
ἀναπαυόμενος ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν κλήρων·
 Is'sachar is a strong ass,
crouching between the sheepfolds;
יִשָּׂשכָר חֲמֹר גָּרֶם רֹבֵץ בֵּין הַמִּשְׁפְּתָיִם׃ 14
15καὶ ἰδὼν τὴν ἀνάπαυσιν ὅτι καλή,
καὶ τὴν γῆν ὅτι πίων,
ὑπέθηκεν τὸν ὦμον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ πονεῖν
καὶ ἐγενήθη ἀνὴρ γεωργός.
 he saw that a resting place was good,
and that the land was pleasant;
so he bowed his shoulder to bear,
and became a slave at forced labor.
וַיַּרְא מְנֻחָה כִּי טֹוב וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ כִּי נָעֵמָה
וַיֵּט שִׁכְמֹו לִסְבֹּל וַיְהִי לְמַס־עֹבֵד׃ ס
15
16Δαν κρινεῖ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ λαὸν
ὡσεὶ καὶ μία φυλὴ ἐν Ισραηλ.
 Dan shall judge his people
as one of the tribes of Israel.
דָּן יָדִין עַמֹּו כְּאַחַד שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ 16
17καὶ γενηθήτω Δαν ὄφις ἐφ' ὁδοῦ
ἐγκαθήμενος ἐπὶ τρίβου,
δάκνων πτέρναν ἵππου,
καὶ πεσεῖται ὁ ἱππεὺς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
 Dan shall be a serpent in the way,
a viper by the path,
that bites the horse's heels
so that his rider falls backward.
יְהִי־דָן נָחָשׁ עֲלֵי־דֶרֶךְ שְׁפִיפֹן עֲלֵי־אֹרַח
הַנֹּשֵׁךְ עִקְּבֵי־סוּס וַיִּפֹּל רֹכְבֹו אָחֹור׃
17
18τὴν σωτηρίαν περιμένω κυρίου.
 I wait for thy salvation, O LORD.
לִישׁוּעָתְךָ קִוִּיתִי יְהוָה׃ 18
19Γαδ, πειρατήριον πειρατεύσει αὐτόν,
αὐτὸς δὲ πειρατεύσει αὐτῶν κατὰ πόδας.
 Raiders shall raid Gad,
but he shall raid at their heels.
גָּד גְּדוּד יְגוּדֶנּוּ וְהוּא יָגֻד עָקֵב׃ ס 19
20Ασηρ, πίων αὐτοῦ ὁ ἄρτος,
καὶ αὐτὸς δώσει τρυφὴν ἄρχουσιν.
 Asher's food shall be rich,
and he shall yield royal dainties.
מֵאָשֵׁר שְׁמֵנָה לַחְמֹו וְהוּא יִתֵּן מַעֲדַנֵּי־מֶלֶךְ׃ ס 20
21Νεφθαλι στέλεχος ἀνειμένον,
ἐπιδιδοὺς ἐν τῷ γενήματι κάλλος.
 Naph'tali is a hind let loose,
that bears comely fawns.
נַפְתָּלִי אַיָּלָה שְׁלֻחָה הַנֹּתֵן אִמְרֵי־שָׁפֶר׃ ס 21
22Υἱὸς ηὐξημένος Ιωσηφ,
υἱὸς ηὐξημένος ζηλωτός,
υἱός μου νεώτατος·
πρός με ἀνάστρεψον.
 Joseph is a fruitful bough,
a fruitful bough by a spring;
his branches run over the wall.
בֵּן פֹּרָת יֹוסֵף בֵּן פֹּרָת עֲלֵי־עָיִן בָּנֹות צָעֲדָה עֲלֵי־שׁוּר׃ 22
23εἰς ὃν διαβουλευόμενοι ἐλοιδόρουν,
καὶ ἐνεῖχον αὐτῷ κύριοι τοξευμάτων·
 The archers fiercely attacked him,
shot at him, and harassed him sorely;
וַיְמָרֲרֻהוּ וָרֹבּוּ וַיִּשְׂטְמֻהוּ בַּעֲלֵי חִצִּים׃ 23
24καὶ συνετρίβη μετὰ κράτους τὰ τόξα αὐτῶν,
καὶ ἐξελύθη τὰ νεῦρα βραχιόνων χειρῶν αὐτῶν
διὰ χεῖρα δυνάστου Ιακωβ,
ἐκεῖθεν ὁ κατισχύσας Ισραηλ·
 yet his bow remained unmoved,
his arms were made agile
by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob
(by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel),
וַתֵּשֶׁב בְּאֵיתָן קַשְׁתֹּו וַיָּפֹזּוּ זְרֹעֵי יָדָיו
מִידֵי אֲבִיר יַעֲקֹב מִשָּׁם רֹעֶה אֶבֶן יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
24
25παρὰ θεοῦ τοῦ πατρός σου,
καὶ ἐβοήθησέν σοι ὁ θεὸς ὁ ἐμὸς
καὶ εὐλόγησέν σε εὐλογίαν οὐρανοῦ ἄνωθεν
καὶ εὐλογίαν γῆς ἐχούσης πάντα·
ἕνεκεν εὐλογίας μαστῶν καὶ μήτρας,
 by the God of your father who will help you,
by God Almighty who will bless you
with blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that couches beneath,
blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
מֵאֵל אָבִיךָ וְיַעְזְרֶךָּ וְאֵת שַׁדַּי וִיבָרְךֶךָּ
בִּרְכֹת שָׁמַיִם מֵעָל בִּרְכֹת תְּהֹום רֹבֶצֶת תָּחַת
בִּרְכֹת שָׁדַיִם וָרָחַם׃
25
26εὐλογίας πατρός σου καὶ μητρός σου·
ὑπερίσχυσεν ἐπ' εὐλογίαις ὀρέων μονίμων
καὶ ἐπ' εὐλογίαις θινῶν ἀενάων·
ἔσονται ἐπὶ κεφαλὴν Ιωσηφ
καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφῆς ὧν ἡγήσατο ἀδελφῶν.
 The blessings of your father
are mighty beyond the blessings of the eternal mountains,
the bounties of the everlasting hills;
may they be on the head of Joseph,
and on the brow of him who was separate from his brothers.
בִּרְכֹת אָבִיךָ גָּבְרוּ עַל־בִּרְכֹת הֹורַי עַד־
תַּאֲוַת גִּבְעֹת עֹולָם
תִּהְיֶיןָ לְרֹאשׁ יֹוסֵף וּלְקָדְקֹד נְזִיר אֶחָיו׃ ף
26
27Βενιαμιν λύκος ἅρπαξ·
τὸ πρωινὸν ἔδεται ἔτι
καὶ εἰς τὸ ἑσπέρας διαδώσει τροφήν.
 Benjamin is a ravenous wolf,
in the morning devouring the prey,
and at even dividing the spoil."
בִּנְיָמִין זְאֵב יִטְרָף בַּבֹּקֶר יֹאכַל עַד
וְלָעֶרֶב יְחַלֵּק שָׁלָל׃
27
28Πάντες οὗτοι υἱοὶ Ιακωβ δώδεκα, καὶ ταῦτα ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτῶν καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς, ἕκαστον κατὰ τὴν εὐλογίαν αὐτοῦ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς.  All these are the twelve tribes of Israel; and this is what their father said to them as he blessed them, blessing each with the blessing suitable to him.כָּל־אֵלֶּה שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר וְזֹאת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר לָהֶם אֲבִיהֶם וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹותָם אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר כְּבִרְכָתֹו בֵּרַךְ אֹתָם׃ 28
29καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἑγὼ προστίθεμαι πρὸς τὸν ἐμὸν λαόν· θάψατέ με μετὰ τῶν πατέρων μου ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ Εφρων τοῦ Χετταίου, Jacob's death, embalming, burial at Machpelah. Gn.49.29-50.14Then he charged 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,וַיְצַו אֹותָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם אֲנִי נֶאֱסָף אֶל־עַמִּי קִבְרוּ אֹתִי אֶל־אֲבֹתָי אֶל־הַמְּעָרָה אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׂדֵה עֶפְרֹון הַחִתִּי׃ 29
30ἐν τῷ σπηλαίῳ τῷ διπλῷ τῷ ἀπέναντι Μαμβρη ἐν τῇ γῇ Χανααν, ὃ ἐκτήσατο Αβρααμ τὸ σπήλαιον παρὰ Εφρων τοῦ Χετταίου ἐν κτήσει μνημείου·  in the cave that is in the field at Mach-pe'lah, to the east of Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite to possess as a burying place.בַּמְּעָרָה אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׂדֵה הַמַּכְפֵּלָה אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי־מַמְרֵא בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן אֲשֶׁר קָנָה אַבְרָהָם אֶת־הַשָּׂדֶה מֵאֵת עֶפְרֹן הַחִתִּי לַאֲחֻזַּת־קָבֶר׃ 30
31ἐκεῖ ἔθαψαν Αβρααμ καὶ Σαρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, ἐκεῖ ἔθαψαν Ισαακ καὶ Ρεβεκκαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἔθαψα Λειαν  There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah -שָׁמָּה קָבְרוּ אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וְאֵת שָׂרָה אִשְׁתֹּו שָׁמָּה קָבְרוּ אֶת־יִצְחָק וְאֵת רִבְקָה אִשְׁתֹּו וְשָׁמָּה קָבַרְתִּי אֶת־לֵאָה׃ 31
32ἐν κτήσει τοῦ ἀγροῦ καὶ τοῦ σπηλαίου τοῦ ὄντος ἐν αὐτῷ παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Χετ.  the field and the cave that is in it were purchased from the Hittites."מִקְנֵה הַשָּׂדֶה וְהַמְּעָרָה אֲשֶׁר־בֹּו מֵאֵת בְּנֵי־חֵת׃ 32
33καὶ κατέπαυσεν Ιακωβ ἐπιτάσσων τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξάρας τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην ἐξέλιπεν καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.  When Jacob finished charging his sons, he drew up his feet into the bed, and breathed his last, and was gathered to his people.וַיְכַל יַעֲקֹב לְצַוֹּת אֶת־בָּנָיו וַיֶּאֱסֹף רַגְלָיו אֶל־הַמִּטָּה וַיִּגְוַע וַיֵּאָסֶף אֶל־עַמָּיו׃ 33
