Genesis 49: 2-10

49:2 Okupite se i slušajte, O sinovi Jakovljevi. Slušajte Izrael, tvoj otac.

49:3 Reuben, my firstborn, you are my strength and the beginning of my sorrow: first in gifts, greater in authority.

49:4 You are being poured out like water, may you not increase. For you climbed onto your father’s bed, and you defiled his resting place.

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

49:6 Let not my soul go by their counsel, nor my glory be within their meeting. For in their fury they killed a man, and in their self-will they undermined a wall.

49:7 Cursed be their fury, because it was obstinate, and their indignation, because it was harsh. I will divide them in Jacob, and I will scatter them in Israel.

49:8 Juda, tvoja braća će te hvaliti. Vaša ruka će biti na vratu vašim neprijateljima; sinovi tvog oca će te poštovati.

49:9 Juda je lavlji mlad. Otišli ste do plena, moj sin. Dok se odmara, ležao si kao lav. I baš kao lavica, ko bi ga probudio?

49:10 Žezlo od Jude i vođa s njegovog bedra neće biti oduzeto, dok ne stigne onaj ko će biti poslan, i on će biti očekivanje neznabožaca.
