49:10 Gr. thighs.
BrLXX Οὐκ ἐκλείψει ἄρχων ἐξ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἡγούμενος ἐκ τῶν μηρῶν αὐτοῦ, ἕως ἐὰν ἔλθῃ τὰ ἀποκείμενα αὐτῷ· καὶ αὐτὸς προσδοκία ἐθνῶν.
(Ouk ekleipsei arⱪōn ex Youda, kai haʸgoumenos ek tōn maʸrōn autou, heōs ean elthaʸ ta apokeimena autōi; kai autos prosdokia ethnōn. )
49:10 This verse anticipates the kingship in Judah (cp. 17:6, 16; 35:11). Although the birthright blessing went to Joseph, Judah would provide Israel’s rulers (see 1 Chr 5:1-2). A long line of kings from Judah would retain the scepter, the symbol of rule; the last king would be the one to whom it belongs, the promised Messiah (see 2 Sam 7:4-16; Pss 2, 45, 60; Isa 11; Ezek 21:26-27; Zech 9:9; Rev 5:5).
• from his descendants: Literally from between his feet, a poetic euphemism for reproductive organs.
• until the coming of the one to whom it belongs (Or until tribute is brought to him and the peoples obey; traditionally rendered until Shiloh comes): These differences arise from ambiguities in the Hebrew text. Rule of Israel belongs to Judah’s descendant through David’s line (2 Sam 7:8-16), and he will eventually rule all nations, as signified by the bringing of tribute (see Pss 68:29; 72:8-11; Isa 2:2-4; Eph 4:8-10).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לֹֽא יָס֥וּר שֵׁ֨בֶט֙ מִֽיהוּדָ֔ה
not depart scepter from,Judah
A scepter, or a king’s staff, is a special, decorated rod that a king holds to symbolize his authority to rule the people who are under him. Alternate translation: “Judah, the authority to rule will always belong to you and your descendants.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וּמְחֹקֵ֖ק מִבֵּ֣ין רַגְלָ֑יו
and,ruler's_staff from,between feet,his
This phrase forms a parallelism with the previous clause and emphasizes the authority that Judah and his descendants will have.

Jacob is probably prophesying here about the coming of the Messiah/Christ. This fits with the fact that Jesus was a descendant of the tribe of Judah and is now ruling as the true King over heaven and earth. You could put some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “until the highest king arrives” or “until the One whom the scepter belongs to comes”
וְל֖וֹ יִקְּהַ֥ת עַמִּֽים
and=to/for=him/it obedience peoples
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “and the nations of the earth obey him.” or “and all people obey him.” or “All people will obey him.”
