DRC, KJV, VulgClementine - Genesis - 49

49:1  And Jacob called his sons, and said to them: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you the things that shall befall you in the last days.

49:1  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.

49:1  Vocavit autem Jacob filios suos, et ait eis : Congregamini, ut annuntiem quæ ventura sunt vobis in diebus novissimis.

49:2  Gather yourselves together, and hear, O ye sons of Jacob, hearken to Israel, your father:

49:2  Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.

49:2  Congregamini, et audite, filii Jacob, audite Israël patrem vestrum :

49:3  Ruben, my firstborn, thou art my strength, and the beginning of my sorrow; excelling in gifts, greater in command.

49:3  Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:

49:3  Ruben, primogenitus meus, tu fortitudo mea, et principium doloris mei ; prior in donis, major in imperio.

49:4  Thou art poured out as water, grow thou not; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed, and didst defile his couch.

49:4  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.

49:4  Effusus es sicut aqua, non crescas : quia ascendisti cubile patris tui, et maculasti stratum ejus.

49:5  Simeon and Levi brethren: vessels of iniquity waging war.

49:5  Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

49:5  Simeon et Levi fratres vasa iniquitatis bellantia.

49:6  Let not my soul go into their counsel, nor my glory be in their assembly: because in their fury they slew a man, and in their self-will they undermined a wall.

49:6  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.

49:6  In consilium eorum non veniat anima mea, et in cœtu illorum non sit gloria mea : quia in furore suo occiderunt virum, et in voluntate sua suffoderunt murum.

49:7  Cursed be their fury, because it was stubborn: and their wrath, because it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel.

49:7  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.

49:7  Maledictus furor eorum, quia pertinax : et indignatio eorum, quia dura : dividam eos in Jacob, et dispergam eos in Israël.

49:8  Juda, thee shall thy brethren praise: thy hand shall be on the necks of thy enemies; the sons of thy father shall bow down to thee.

49:8  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.

49:8  Juda, te laudabunt fratres tui : manus tua in cervicibus inimicorum tuorum, adorabunt te filii patris tui.

49:9  Juda is a lion's whelp: to the prey, my son, thou art gone up: resting thou hast couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him?

49:9  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?

49:9  Catulus leonis Juda : ad prædam, fili mi, ascendisti : requiescens accubuisti ut leo, et quasi leæna : quis suscitabit eum ?

49:10  The sceptre shall not be taken away from Juda, nor a ruler from his thigh, till he come that is to be sent, and he shall be the expectation of nations.

49:10  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.

49:10  Non auferetur sceptrum de Juda, et dux de femore ejus, donec veniat qui mittendus est, et ipse erit expectatio gentium.

49:11  Tying his foal to the vineyard, and his ass, O my son, to the vine. He shall wash his robe in wine, and his garment in the blood of the grape.

49:11  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:

49:11  Ligans ad vineam pullum suum, et ad vitem, o fili mi, asinam suam, lavabit in vino stolam suam et in sanguine uvæ pallium suum.

49:12  His eyes are more beautiful than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.

49:12  His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

49:12  Pulchriores sunt oculi ejus vino, et dentes ejus lacte candidiores.

49:13  Zabulon shall dwell on the seashore, and in the road of ships, reaching as far as Sidon.

49:13  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.

49:13  Zabulon in littore maris habitabit, et in statione navium pertingens usque ad Sidonem.

49:14  Issachar shall be a strong ass, lying down between the borders.

49:14  Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:

49:14  Issachar asinus fortis accubans inter terminos.

49:15  He saw rest that it was good: and the land that it was excellent: and he bowed his shoulder to carry, and became a servant under tribute.

49:15  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.

49:15  Vidit requiem, quod esset bona et terram, quod optima : et supposuit humerum suum ad portandum, factusque est tributis serviens.

49:16  Dan shall judge his people like another tribe in Israel.

49:16  Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.

49:16  Dan judicabit populum suum sicut et alia tribus in Israël.

49:17  Let Dan be a snake in the way, a serpent in the path, that biteth the horse's heels, that his rider may fall backward.

49:17  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.

49:17  Fiat Dan coluber in via, cerastes in semita, mordens ungulas equi, ut cadat ascensor ejus retro.

49:18  I will look for thy salvation, O Lord.

49:18  I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord.

49:18  Salutare tuum expectabo, Domine.

49:19  Gad, being girded, shall fight before him: and he himself shall be girded backward.

49:19  Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.

49:19  Gad, accinctus præliabitur ante eum : et ipse accingetur retrorsum.

49:20  Aser, his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield dainties to kings.

49:20  Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.

49:20  Aser, pinguis panis ejus, et præbebit delicias regibus.

49:21  Nephthali, a hart let loose, and giving words of beauty.

49:21  Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.

49:21  Nephthali, cervus emissus, et dans eloquia pulchritudinis.

49:22  Joseph is a growing son, a growing son and comely to behold: the daughters run to and fro upon the wall;

49:22  Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:

49:22  Filius accrescens Joseph, filius accrescens et decorus aspectu : filiæ discurrerunt super murum.

49:23  But they that held darts, provoked him, and quarrelled with him, and envied him.

49:23  The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:

49:23  Sed exasperaverunt eum et jurgati sunt, invideruntque illi habentes jacula.

49:24  His bow rested upon the strong, and the bands of his arms and his hands were loosed, by the hands of the mighty one of Jacob: thence he came forth a pastor, the stone of Israel.

49:24  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:)

49:24  Sedit in forti arcus ejus, et dissoluta sunt vincula brachiorum et manuum illius per manus potentis Jacob : inde pastor egressus est, lapis Israël.

49:25  The God of thy father shall be thy helper, and the Almighty shall bless thee with the blessings of heaven above, with the blessings of the deep that lieth beneath, with the blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

49:25  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:

49:25  Deus patris tui erit adjutor tuus, et omnipotens benedicet tibi benedictionibus cæli desuper, benedictionibus abyssi jacentis deorsum, benedictionibus uberum et vulvæ.

49:26  The blessings of thy father are strengthened with the blessings of his fathers: until the desire of the everlasting hills should come: may they be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the Nazarite among his brethren.

49:26  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.

49:26  Benedictiones patris tui confortatæ sunt benedictionibus patrum ejus, donec veniret desiderium collium æternorum : fiant in capite Joseph, et in vertice Nazaræi inter fratres suos.

49:27  Benjamin a ravenous wolf, in the morning shall eat the prey, and in the evening shall divide the spoil.

49:27  Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.

49:27  Benjamin lupus rapax, mane comedat prædam, et vespere dividet spolia.

49:28  All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: these things their father spoke to them, and he blessed every one with their proper blessings.

49:28  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.

49:28  Omnes hi in tribubus Israël duodecim : hæc locutus est eis pater suus, benedixitque singulis benedictionibus propriis.

49:29  And he charged them, saying: I am now going to be gathered to my people: bury me with my fathers in the double cave, which is in the field of Ephron the Hethite,

49:29  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,

49:29  Et præcepit eis, dicens : Ego congregor ad populum meum : sepelite me cum patribus meis in spelunca duplici quæ est in agro Ephron Hethæi,

49:30  Over against Mambre, in the land of Chanaan, which Abraham bought together with the field, of Ephron the Hethite, for a possession to bury in.

49:30  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.

49:30  contra Mambre in terra Chanaan, quam emit Abraham cum agro ab Ephron Hethæo in possessionem sepulchri.

49:31  There they buried him, and Sara his wife: there was Isaac buried with Rebecca, his wife: there also Lia doth lie buried.

49:31  There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.

49:31  Ibi sepelierunt eum, et Saram uxorem ejus : ibi sepultus est Isaac cum Rebecca conjuge sua : ibi et Lia condita jacet.

49:32  And when he had ended the commandments, wherewith he instructed his sons, he drew up his feet upon the bed, and died: and he was gathered to his people.

49:32  The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.

49:32  Finitisque mandatis quibus filios instruebat, collegit pedes suos super lectulum, et obiit : appositusque est ad populum suum.

49:33  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.
