OET (OET-LV) [is]_a_cub of_a_lion Yəhūdāh from_prey son_my you_have_gone_up he_bows_down he_lies_down like_lion and_as_lioness who rouse_him.
OET (OET-RV) Yehudah is a lion cub.
⇔ My son, you’ve stood up after feasting on your prey.
⇔ He stretches and lies down like a lion.
⇔ As with a lioness, who will dare wake him?
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor
גּ֤וּר אַרְיֵה֙ יְהוּדָ֔ה מִטֶּ֖רֶף בְּנִ֣י עָלִ֑יתָ
cub lion's Yehuda from,prey son,my gone_up
Alternate translation: “Judah, you, my son, are like a powerful young lion that kills its prey and returns to its den.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כָּרַ֨ע רָבַ֧ץ כְּאַרְיֵ֛ה
crouches lies_down like,lion
Here in verse 9 Jacob switches to using third person references (“he, his, him”) for Judah. For some languages it is better to use second person references (“you, your”) throughout verses 8-12. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “You are like a lion that stretches out and lies down to rest after eating.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
וּכְלָבִ֖יא מִ֥י יְקִימֶֽנּוּ
and,as,lioness who? rouse,him
This sentence forms a parallelism with the previous sentence to emphasize Judah’s authority. Also, Jacob uses a rhetorical question here to emphasize the respect that people will have for Judah. Some languages must use a statement here instead. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Yes, you are like a lion that no one dares to awaken” or “No one dares to disrespect that lion.”
49:1-28 Jacob, by faith and as God’s spokesman, looked forward to Israel’s settlement in the land, and beyond that to the glorious future. Here at the end of the patriarchal age, he foretold what would happen to each tribe as he evaluated his sons one by one, just as Noah had done at the end of the primeval era (cp. 9:25-27). The character and acts of each ancestor affected the lives of his descendants (Exod 20:5-6; 34:6-7; Num 14:18; Jer 32:18).
