Ukufa kukaJakobe
1UJakobe wabiza amadodana akhe, wathi: “Buthanani, ukuze nginitshele okuyakwenzeka kini ezinsukwini zokugcina.
2Buthani nilalele, madodana kaJakobe! ulalele uyihlo u-Israyeli.
3Rubeni, uyizibulo lami, amandla ami, nengqalo yamandla ami, ubuhle besithunzi, nobuhle bamandla.
4Ongazinzile njengamanzi, awuyikuba mnandi; ngoba wenyukela embhedeni kayihlo; bese uyalingcolisa; wakhuphukela embhedeni wami.
5USimeyoni noLevi bayizelamani; amathuluzi obudlova asezindlini zabo.
6O mphefumulo wami, ungangeni ekusithekeni kwabo; Ungahlangani nomhlangano wabo, mhlonishwa wami, ngokuba ngokuthukuthela kwabo babulele umuntu, nangokwabo badiliza ugange.
7Intukuthelo yabo mayiqalekiswe, ngokuba ilukhuni; nolaka lwabo, ngokuba lunonya; ngiyakubahlukanisa kwaJakobe, ngibahlakaze kwa-Israyeli.
8Juda, wena oyakubabonga abafowenu; isandla sakho siyakuba sentanyeni yezitha zakho; abantwana bakayihlo bazakukhothamela.
9UJuda uyingonyama; Wenyuka empangweni, ndodana yami; ngubani ozamvusa?
10Intonga yobukhosi ayiyikusuka kuJuda, nomniki-mthetho phakathi kwezinyawo zakhe aze afike uShilo; futhi kuyakuba kuye ukubuthwa kwabantu.
11Ubophela ithole lakhe emvinini nethole lakhe emvinini okhethiweyo; wageza izingubo zakhe ewayinini, nezingubo zakhe egazini lezithelo zomvini.
12Amehlo akhe ayakubabomvu yiwayini, namazinyo akhe amhlophe ngobisi.
13UZebuloni uyakuhlala ngasechwebeni lolwandle; futhi uyakuba yichweba lemikhumbi; futhi umkhawulo wakhe uyofinyelela eSidoni.
14U-Isakare uyimbongolo enamandla elele phakathi kwemithwalo emibili;
15Wabona ukuthi ukuphumula kuhle, nezwe limnandi; wagoba ihlombe lakhe ukuba athwale, waba yisigqila sokutheliswa.
16Khona-ke abantu bayo bayokwahlulela njengesinye sezizwe zakwa-Israyeli.
17Khona-ke kuyoba khona inyoka endleleni, inyoka endleleni, iluma ihhashi ezithendeni, ukuze umgibeli walo awe nyovane.
18Ngilindele insindiso yakho, Jehova.
19UGadi, iqembu lezigelekeqe lizamnqoba, kodwa ekugcineni lizamnqoba.
20Ku-Asheri isinkwa sakhe siyakuba ngamanoni, futhi uyonika izibiliboco zasebukhosini.
21UNafetali uyindluzelekazi ekhululweyo; unamazwi amahle.
22UJosefa uyigatsha elithelayo, isihlahla sesithelo ngasemthonjeni; amagatsha awo awela odongeni;
23Abacibishelayo bamdabukisa kakhulu, bamdubula, bamzonda.
24Kepha umnsalo wakhe unamandla, nezingalo zezandla zakhe zaqiniswa ngesandla sikaNkulunkulu onamandla kaJakobe; (ngakho-ke umalusi, idwala lika-Israyeli:)
25NgoNkulunkulu kayihlo ozokusiza; ngoSomandla oyakunibusisa ngezibusiso ezivela ezulwini phezulu, izibusiso zikazamcolo owela phansi, izibusiso ezivela emabeleni nasesiswini.
26Izibusiso zikayihlo zedlula izibusiso zabokhokho bami kuze kube semkhawulweni wezintaba zaphakade; ziyakuba sekhanda likaJosefa nasokhakhayini lwekhanda lalowo owahlukaniswa nabafowabo.
27UBenjamini uklebhula njengempisi; ekuseni uyakushwabadela impango, ebusuku ahlukanise impango.
28Bonke laba bayizizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli; futhi yilokhu uyise akukhuluma kubo wababusisa; wababusisa kwaba yilowo nalowo ngokwesibusiso sakhe.
29Futhi wabayala wathi kubo: Kufanele ngibuthelwe kubantu bami; ngimbeleni kobaba emhumeni osensimini ka-Efroni umHeti;
30emhumeni osensimini yaseMakaphela ephambi kweMamre ezweni laseKhanani, u-Abrahama awuthenga kanye nensimu ka-Efroni umHeti, ukuba kube yindawo yethuna.
31Bangcwatshwa khona o-Abrahama noSara umkakhe; bembela khona u-Isaka noRebheka umkakhe; ngammbela khona uLeya.
32Isiqephu sezwe nomhume okuso kwathengwa kubantwana bakwaHeti.
33Kwathi uJakobe eseqedile ukuyala amadodana akhe, wabuthela izinyawo zakhe embhedeni, wafa, wabuthelwa kanye labantu bakhe.
