Ġenesi 49: 2-10

49:2 Inġabru flimkien u isma’, O wlied Ġakobb. Isma lil Iżrael, missierek.

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 Ġuda, ħutek ifaħħruk. Idek tkun fuq għenuq l-għedewwa tiegħek; ulied missierek iqisek.

49:9 Ġuda huwa żagħżugħ ta’ iljun. Int telgħet għall-priża, tifel tiegħi. Waqt li tistrieħ, inti tkun lain bħal iljun. U bħal iljuna, min kien iqajmu?

49:10 Ix-xettru minn Ġuda u l-mexxej minn koxxa mhux se jitneħħew, sakemm jasal min se jintbagħat, u hu jkun l-istennija tal-Ġentili.
