　　Reuben， thou art my firstborn， my might， and the beginning of my strength， the excellency of dignity， and the excellency of power：

　　49：4 但你放縱情欲，滾沸如水，必不得居首位。因為你上了你父親的床，污穢了我的榻。

　　Unstable as water， thou shalt not excel； because thou wentest up to thy father's bed； then defiledst thou it： he went up to my couch.

　　Simeon and Levi are brethren； instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

　　49：6 我的靈阿，不要與他們同謀。我的心哪，不要與他們聯絡。因為他們趁怒殺害人命，任意砍斷牛腿大筋。

　　O my soul， come not thou into their secret； unto their assembly， mine honour， be not thou united： for in their anger they slew a man， and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.

　　49：7 他們的怒氣暴烈可咒。他們的忿恨殘忍可詛。我要使他們分居在雅各家里，散住在以色列地中。

　　The sceptre shall not depart from Judah， nor a lawgiver from between his feet， until Shiloh come； and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

　　49：11 猶大把小驢拴在葡萄樹上，把驢駒拴在美好的葡萄樹上。他在葡萄酒中洗了衣服，在葡萄汁中洗了袍褂。

　　Binding his foal unto the vine， and his ass's colt unto the choice vine； he washed his garments in wine， and his clothes in the blood of grapes：

　　49：12 他的眼睛必因酒紅潤。他的牙齒必因奶白亮。

　　Out of Asher his bread shall be fat， and he shall yield royal dainties.

　　Naphtali is a hind let loose： he giveth goodly words.

　　49：22 約瑟是多結果子的樹枝，是泉旁多結果的枝子。他的枝條探出墻外。

　　Joseph is a fruitful bough， even a fruitful bough by a well； whose branches run over the wall：

　　49：23 弓箭手將他苦害，向他射箭，逼迫他。

　　The archers have sorely grieved him， and shot at him， and hated him：

　　49：24 但他的弓仍舊堅硬。他的手健壯敏捷。這是因以色列的牧者，以色列的磐石就是雅各的大能者。

　　But his bow abode in strength， and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob； （from thence is the shepherd， the stone of Israel：）

　　49：25 你父親的神必幫助你。那全能者必將天上所有的福，地里所藏的福，以及生產乳養的福，都賜給你。

　　Even by the God of thy father， who shall help thee； and by the Almighty， who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above， blessings of the deep that lieth under， blessings of the breasts， and of the womb：

　　49：26 你父親所祝的福，勝過我祖先所祝的福，如永世的山嶺，至極的邊界。這些福必降在約瑟的頭上，臨列那與弟兄迥別之人的頂上。

　　Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf： in the morning he shall devour the prey， and at night he shall divide the spoil.
