BrLXX Ἐπικατάρατος ὁ θυμὸς αὐτὼν, ὅτι αὐθάδης· καὶ ἡ μῆνις αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐσκληρύνθη· διαμεριῷ αὐτοὺς ἐν Ἰακὼβ, καὶ διασπερῷ αὐτοὺς ἐν Ἰσραήλ.

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).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
אָר֤וּר אַפָּם֙ כִּ֣י עָ֔ז וְעֶבְרָתָ֖ם כִּ֣י קָשָׁ֑תָה
cursing anger,their that/for/because/then/when fierce and,wrath,their that/for/because/then/when cruel
Consider what is the best way to translate this parallelism in your language. Also, consider again how you translated “cursed” in the book of Genesis. See Gen 3:14 (and note), 17; 4:11; 5:29; 8:21; 9:25; 12:3; 27:12-13, 29; 49:7. Alternate translation: “May God curse them for your intense anger and your malicious fury!” or “I ask God to punish them for being so intensely angry and malicious!”
אֲחַלְּקֵ֣ם
divide,them
The last half of verse 7 specifies how Jacob is asking God to curse Simeon and Levi. Alternate translation: “I ask God to disperse them and their descendants” or “May he cause them and their descendants to be spread out”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּיַעֲקֹ֔ב
in/on/at/with,Jacob
In this context, the name Jacob refers to his family and especially his descendants. Alternate translation: “among the family of Jacob.”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וַאֲפִיצֵ֖ם
and,scatter,them
The clauses “I will divide …” and “I will scatter …” form a parallelism that emphasizes the way Jacob is asking God to curse Simeon and Levi. If possible, it is best to keep both parts of a parallelism in your translation. Alternate translation: “Yes, I will”
וַאֲפִיצֵ֖ם
and,scatter,them
Consider again how you translated scatter in the book of Genesis. See Gen 10:18, 32; 11:4, 8-9; 49:7. It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. If the pronoun “you” is used here in your translation, it should be plural. Alternate translation: “disperse you” or “cause them to be spread out”
בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל
in/on/at/with,Israel
Jacob’s prophecy in verse 7 came true many years later: the tribe of Simeon was absorbed by the tribe of Judah (Joshua 19:1), and the tribe of Levi never had its own territory, but rather lived in cities scattered throughout the other tribes of Israel (Joshua 21:1-42). You could put this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “throughout the descendants of Israel.”
