Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
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.
1KAHEA aku la o Iakoba i kana mau keikikane, i aku la, E houluulu mai ia oukou iho i hai aku ai au ia oukou i na mea e hiki mai ana io oukou la i na la mahope.
2Assemble yourselves, and hear, you sons of Jacob. Listen to Israel, your father.
2E houluulu mai ia oukou iho, e lohe, e na keiki a Iakoba; e hoolohe mai ia Iseraela i ko oukou makuakane.
3“Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, excelling in dignity, and excelling in power.
3E Reubena e, o oe no ka'u hiapo, o ko'u ikaika, a me ka hoomaka ana o ka ui o'u; ke kela ana i ka hanohano, ke kela ana i ka mana:
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.
4He hu wale me he wai la, aole oe e kela aku, no ka mea, pii aku la oe i ka moe o kou makuakane: alaila oe i hoohaumia iho ai: pii aka la ia i kuu wahi moe.
5“Simeon and Levi are brothers. Their swords are weapons of violence.
5O Simeona laua o Levi, he mau hoahanau laua: aia na mea hoomainoino ma ko laua hoolimalima.
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.
6Ma ko laua wahi ohumu aole e hele aku kuu uhane, ma ko laua halawai aole e hui pu ia'ku ko'u naui: no ka mea, no ko laua inaina pepehi iho la laua i ke kanaka, a no ko laua makemake oki iho la laua i ke olona wawae o ka bipi.
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.
7E hoinoia ka laua inaina, no ka mea, he ino ia, a me ko laua huhu, no ka mea, he koikoi ia: e mahelehele au ia laua iloko o ka Iakoba, a e hoopuehu au in laua iloko o ka Iseraela.
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.
8E Iuda e, o oe ka mea a na hoahanau ou e hoomaikai ai: o kou lima, aia no ia ma ka a-i o kou poe enemi; e kulou iho hoi na keiki a kou makuakane imua on.
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?
9He keiki a ka liona o Iuda, ua pii ae oe, e kuu keiki, mai ke pio ae: kukuli iho la ia, a moe iho la me he liona kane la, a me ka liona wahine; nawai ia e hoala ae?
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.
10Aole e lilo aku ke kookeo alii mai o Iuda aku, aole hoi ka mea webewehe kanawai maiwaena aku o kona mau wawae, a hiki mai ai o Silo; a ia ia ke akoakoa ana ae o na kanaka.
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.
11E hikii ana i kana keikihoki i ke kumuwaina, a me ke keiki a ka hokiwahine i ke kumuwaina maikai, holoi iho la ia i kona kapa i ka waina, a me kona aahu i ke koko o ka huawaina.
12His eyes will be red with wine, his teeth white with milk.
12E ulaula kona mau maka i ka waina, e keokeo hoi kona mau niho i ka waiu.
13“Zebulun will dwell at the haven of the sea. He will be for a haven of ships. His border will be on Sidon.
13E noho auanei o Zebuluna ma ke kahakai; oia no ke kahakai no na moku; a e hiki aku kona palena i Sidona.
14“Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between the saddlebags.
14He hoki ikaika no o Isakara e moe ana mawaena o na halemalumalu:
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.
15Ike iho la ia i ka maha he maikai ia, a i ka aina he oluolu ia, kulon iho la ia i kona hokua i ka ukana, a lilo iho la ia i kauwn e auhauia'i.
16“Dan will judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
16E hooponopono o Dana i kona hanauna a kanaka, e like me kekahi o na ohana o Iseraela.
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.
17He nahesa o Dana ma kapa alanui, he moolele ma ke ala; nana e nahu aku na kuekuewawae o ka lio, a e haule hope iho ka mea e hooholo ana ia ia.
18I have waited for your salvation, LORD.
18Ua kali au i kou hoola ana, e Iehova.
19“A troop will press on Gad, but he will press on their heel.
19O Gada, e lanakila mai ka poe kaua maluna ona, aka, e lanakila aku oia ma ka hope.
20“Asher’s food will be rich. He will produce royal dainties.
20Mai Asera mai kana ai momona, a e haawi aku ia i na mea ono na na'lii.
21“Naphtali is a doe set free, who bears beautiful fawns.
21O Napetali, he diawahine ia i kalaia'ku; ke hua mai nei ia i na huaolelo maikai.
22“Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall.
22He lala hua o Iosepa, he lala hua ma ka punawai: ke kolo ae nei na lala ona maluna o ka pa.
23The archers have severely grieved him, shot at him, and persecuted him:
23Ua hooeha nui mai, a ua pana mai hoi na mea pana ia ia, a ua inaina mai lakou ia ia.
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),
24Aka, ua mau no kona kakaka i ka ikaika, a ua hooikaikaia kona mau lima e na lima o ka Mea mana o Iakoba; (nolaila mai ke kahuhipa, ka pohaku no Iseraela;)
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.
25E ke Akua o kou makua, nana oe e kokua mai; e ka Mea mana loa hoi, nana oe e hoomaikai mai i na mea maikai o ka lani iluna, a o ka hohonu ilalo, i na mea maikai o ka u, a o ka opu.
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.
26Ua oi aku ka hoomaikai ana o kou makuakane maluna o na hoomaikai ana o na mauna mau, a hiki aku hoi i na mokuna o na puu kahiko loa: maluna no auanei ia o ke poo o Iosepa, a maluna hoi o ka piko o ke poo o ka mea i hookaawaleia ae mai koua poe hanauna aku.
27“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”
27E haehae o Beniamina me he iliohae la, i ke kakahiaka e ai iho ia i ke pio, a i ke ahiahi e puunaue ia i ka waiwai pio.
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.
28O keia poe a pau, o ka poe ohana ia a Iseraela he umikumamalua: a oia ka mea a ko lakou makuakane i olelo mai ai ia lakou, a i hoomaikai mai ai ia lakou; i kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me ka hoomaikai ana, ana i hoomaikai mai ai ia lakou.
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,
29Kauoha aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la, E huipu ana au me ko'u poe makua: e kanu pu hoi oukou la'u me na makua o'u ma ke ana maloko o ke kula o Eperona, no ka Heta,
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.
30Ma ke ana iloko o ke kula ma Makepela, ma ke alo o Mamere, ma ka aina o Kanaana, o ke kula a Aberahama i kuai ai me Eperona, no ka Heta, i wahi ilina kupapau nona.
31There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah, his wife, and there I buried Leah:
31Malaila lakou i kanu ai ia Aberahama, a me kana wahine me Sara, a malaila lakou i kanu ai ia Isaaka a me kana wahine mo Rebeka, a malaila hoi au i kanu ai ia Lea.
32the field and the cave that is therein, which was purchased from the children of Heth.”
32Ua kuaiia ke kula, a me ke ana iloko me na mamo a Heta.
33When Jacob finished charging his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, breathed his last breath, and was gathered to his people.
33A pau ka Iakoba kauoha ana i kana poe keiki, opili ae la ia i kona mau wawae maluna o kahi moe, kaili aku la ke aho, a huipu ia iho la ia me kona poe makua.
