Jacob Blesses His Sons

1 Then Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in days to come. 2 “Assemble and listen, O sons of Jacob, listen to Israel your father. 3 “Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might, and the firstfruits of my strength, preeminent in dignity and preeminent in power. 4 Unstable as water, you shall not have preeminence, because you went up to your father’s bed; then you defiled it—he went up to my couch! 5 “Simeon and Levi are brothers; weapons of violence are their swords. 6 Let my soul come not into their council; O my glory, be not joined to their company. For in their anger they killed men, and in their willfulness they hamstrung oxen. 7 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. 8 “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. 9 Judah is a lion’s cub; from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down; he crouched as a lion and as a lioness; who dares rouse him? 10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until tribute comes to him;* and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples. 11 Binding his foal to the vine and his donkey’s colt to the choice vine, he has washed his garments in wine and his vesture in the blood of grapes. 12 His eyes are darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. 13 “Zebulun shall dwell at the shore of the sea; he shall become a haven for ships, and his border shall be at Sidon. 14 “Issachar is a strong donkey, crouching between the sheepfolds.* 15 He saw that a resting place was good, and that the land was pleasant, so he bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant at forced labor. 16 “Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel. 17 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. 18 I wait for your salvation, O Lord. 19 “Raiders shall raid Gad,* but he shall raid at their heels. 20 “Asher’s food shall be rich, and he shall yield royal delicacies. 21 “Naphtali is a doe let loose that bears beautiful fawns.* 22 “Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a spring; his branches run over the wall.* 23 The archers bitterly attacked him, shot at him, and harassed him severely, 24 yet his bow remained unmoved; his arms* were made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (from there is the Shepherd,* the Stone of Israel), 25 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 crouches beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. 26 The blessings of your father are mighty beyond the blessings of my parents, up to the bounties of the everlasting hills.* May they be on the head of Joseph, and on the brow of him who was set apart from his brothers. 27 “Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, in the morning devouring the prey and at evening dividing the spoil.”

Jacob’s Death and Burial

28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is what their father said to them as he blessed them, blessing each with the blessing suitable to him. 29 Then he commanded 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, 30 in the cave that is in the field at Machpelah, 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. 31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah— 32 the field and the cave that is in it were bought from the Hittites.” 33 When Jacob finished commanding his sons, he drew up his feet into the bed and breathed his last and was gathered to his people.

Profecía de Jacob para sus hijos

1 Y llamó Jacob a sus hijos, y dijo: Reuníos, y os anunciaré lo que os acontecerá en los días postreros. 2 Juntaos y escuchad, hijos de Jacob, Oíd a vuestro padre Israel: 3 Rubén, tú eres mi primogénito, Mi fuerza y primicia de mi vigor, Principal en dignidad, Principal en poderío, 4 Incontrolable como las aguas, No serás el principal, Pues subiste al lecho de tu padre y lo profanaste: ¡Mi tálamo escaló! 5 Simeón y Leví son hermanos, Sus armas son instrumentos de injusticia. 6 En su consejo no entre mi alma, Ni mi espíritu se junte a su asamblea, Pues en su furia asesinaron varones, Y en su temeridad desjarretaron bueyes. 7 Maldita sea su cólera, que fue fiera, Y su furor, que fue cruel, Los dividiré entre Jacob, Y haré que se dispersen en Israel. 8 A ti Judá, te alabarán tus hermanos, Tu mano, en la cerviz de tus enemigos, Se postrarán ante ti los hijos de tu padre. 9 Cachorro de león es Judá, De la presa subiste, hijo mío, Se agazapa y acecha cual león y cual leona, ¿Quién hará que se levante? 10 No será quitado el cetro de Judá, Ni el legislador de entre sus pies, Hasta que llegue Siloh, Y sea suya la obediencia de los pueblos. 11 Ata a la vid su pollino, Y a la cepa el hijo de su asna. Lava en el vino su vestido, Y en sangre de uvas su manto. 12 Sus ojos están turbios por el vino, Y sus dientes blancos por la leche. 13 Zabulón morará a la orilla de los mares, Él será puerto de navíos, Y su extremo hasta Sidón. 14 Isacar, asno robusto, echado entre dos apriscos, 15 Vio que el descanso era bueno, Y la tierra placentera. Inclinó su hombro para cargar, Y llegó a servir en tributo. 16 Dan juzgará a su pueblo, Como una de las tribus de Israel. 17 Sea Dan serpiente junto al camino, Víbora junto al sendero, Que muerde los talones del caballo, Y su jinete cae hacia atrás. 18 ¡Por tu salvación espero, oh YHVH! 19 Gad, salteadores lo asaltarán, Mas él asaltará al final. 20 El pan de Aser es sustancioso, Y él dará deleites al rey. 21 Neftalí es cierva suelta, Que está dando hermosísimas crías. 22 Retoño fructífero es José, Retoño fructífero junto a la fuente, Cuyos vástagos trepan sobre el muro. 23 Lo amargaron, lo asaetearon y lo aborrecieron los arqueros, 24 Mas su arco permaneció en firme, Y fueron fortalecidos los brazos de sus manos, Por las manos del Fuerte de Jacob, De allí el Pastor, la Piedra de Israel, 25 Por el Dios de tu padre, quien te ayudará, Por ’El-Shadday, que te bendecirá Con bendiciones de los cielos arriba, Con bendiciones de las profundidades abajo, Con bendiciones de los pechos y de la matriz. 26 Las bendiciones de tu padre Han sobrepasado las bendiciones de mis antepasados Hasta el límite extremo de los collados eternos. Sean ellas para la cabeza de José, Y para la coronilla del consagrado entre sus hermanos. 27 Benjamín, lobo depredador, En la mañana devorará la presa, Y por la tarde repartirá despojos. 28 Todas estas son las doce tribus de Israel, y esto es lo que les predijo su padre, bendiciéndoles a cada uno según la bendición que le correspondía.

Muerte de Jacob

29 Luego les dio instrucciones y les dijo: Yo voy a ser reunido a mi pueblo, sepultadme con mis padres en la cueva que está en el campo de Efrón el heteo, 30 en la cueva que está en el campo de la Makpelah, frente a Mamre, en la tierra de Canaán, la cual compró Abraham con el campo de Efrón heteo, como propiedad para sepultura. 31 Allí sepultaron a Abraham y a su mujer Sara, allí sepultaron a Isaac y a su mujer Rebeca, y allí sepulté yo a Lea. 32 La compra del campo y de la cueva que hay en él, proviene de los hijos de Het. 33 Cuando Jacob concluyó de dar instrucciones a sus hijos, encogió sus pies en la cama, y expiró. Y fue reunido a su pueblo.
