Le nya siawo megbe la, wova gblɔ na Yosef be fofoa ƒe lãmegbegblẽ la nu nɔ sesẽm ɖe edzi kokoko. Ale wòkplɔ Via ŋutsuvi eveawo, Manase kple Efraim, eye woyi ɖakpɔe ɖa.
2 Yakobo atawuzidwa kuti, “Mwana wanu Yosefe wabwera,” Israeli anadzilimbitsa nadzuka kukhala tsonga pa bedi pake.
Eye wogblɔ na Yakob bena, “Kpɔ ɖa viwò Yosef va gbɔwò.” Tete Israel do ŋusẽ nu fɔ henɔ anyi ɖe abatia dzi be yeado gbe nɛ,
3 Yakobo anati kwa Yosefe, “Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse anandionekera ku Luzi mʼdziko la Kanaani, ndipo anandidalitsa,
eye wògblɔ na Yosef be, “Mawu Ŋusẽkatãtɔ ɖe eɖokui fiam le Luz, le Kanaanyigba dzi, eye wòyram.
4 nati kwa ine, ‘Ndidzakupatsa ana ambiri ndipo zidzukulu zako zidzasanduka mitundu yambiri ya anthu. Ndidzapereka dziko ili kwa zidzukulu zako zobwera pambuyo pako kuti likhale lawo mpaka muyaya.’
Egblɔ nam be, ‘Mawɔ wò nàzu dukɔ gã, eye matsɔ Kanaanyigba sia ana wò kple wò dzidzimeviwo, wòanye mia tɔ tegbetegbe.’
5 “Tsopano ana ako aamuna awiri amene anabadwa ine ndisanabwere kuno adzakhala ana anga. Efereimu ndi Manase adzakhala anga monga mmene alili Rubeni ndi Simeoni.
Azɔ le viwò eve siawo, Efraim kple Manase, ame siwo wodzi le Egiptenyigba dzi hafi meva la, mele woawo ya xɔm abe nye ŋutɔ vinyewo ene, eye woanyi nye dome abe Ruben kple Simeon ke ene.
6 Koma amene ati adzabadwe pambuyo pa iwowa adzakhala ako ndipo cholowa chawo chidzadziwika ndi mayina a abale awo.
Ke viwò bubu ɖe sia ɖe ya la, anye wò ŋutɔ tɔ, eye woanyi Efraim kple Manase ƒe dome tso gbɔwò le wò ŋutɔ wò nuwo gome.
7 Pamene ndimabwerera kuchoka ku Parani, mwachisoni Rakele, amayi ako anamwalira mʼdziko la Kanaani, tikanali mʼnjira, mtunda wokafika ku Efurata ukanalipo. Ndipo ndinawayika kumeneko mʼmphepete mwa msewu wa ku Efurata” (amene ndi Betelehemu).
Elabena dawò Rahel dzi vi eve ko, eye wòku esi metso Padan gbɔna Kanaan. Ke esi míegogo Efrat la, meɖii ɖe mɔ to le Efrat” (si nye Betlehem).
8 Israeli ataona ana a Yosefe anafunsa kuti, “Anyamatawa ndi a yani?”
Israel lé ŋku ɖe Yosef ƒe ŋutsuviawo ŋu, eye wòbia be, “Ŋutsuviawoe nye esiawoa?”
9 Yosefe anati kwa abambo ake, “Awa ndi ana anga amene Mulungu wandipatsa kuno.” Ndipo Israeli anati, “Bwera nawo kuno kuti ndiwadalitse.”
Yosef ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, esiawoe nye ŋutsuvi siwo Mawu nam le afii le Egipte.” Israel gblɔ be, “Kplɔ wo te ɖe ŋunye ne mayra wo.”
10 Koma maso a Israeli anali ofowoka chifukwa cha kukalamba moti sankaona nʼkomwe. Tsono Yosefe anabwera nawo ana ake aja pafupi ndi abambo ake ndipo abambo ake anawapsompsona nawakumbatira.
Israel ƒe tsitsi na eƒe ŋkuwo tsi afã kple afã, eye megatea ŋu kpɔa nu tututu o. Ale Yosef kplɔ viawo te ɖe eŋu kpokploe. Egbugbɔ nu na wo, eye wòkpla asi kɔ na wo.
11 Israeli anati kwa Yosefe, “Ine sindinali kuyembekeza kuti nʼkudzaonanso nkhope yako, ndipo tsopano Mulungu wandilola kuti ndionenso ngakhale ana ako.”
Israel gblɔ na Yosef be, “Nyemebu tsã be magakpɔ wò o, ke azɔ Mawu na mekpɔ viwòwo hã.”
12 Tsono Yosefe anawachotsa ana aja pa mawondo a Israeli ndipo anamuweramira nkhope pansi.
Tete Yosef ɖe wo ɖa le Israel ƒe atata, eye wòde ta agu, tsyɔ mo anyi.
13 Yosefe anawagwira ana onse awiri padzanja, Efereimu ku dzanja lake lamanja kulunjika dzanja lamanzere la Israeli ndipo Manase ku dzanja lamanzere kulunjikitsa dzanja lamanja la Israeli, ndipo anawayandikiza kwa Yakobo.
Eye Yosef tsɔ wo ame eveawo; Efraim yi ɖe ɖusime be wòanɔ Israel ƒe miame, eye Manase yi ɖe miame be wòanɔ Israel ƒe ɖusime, eye wòkplɔ wo te ɖe Israel ŋu.
14 Koma Israeli anapinganitsa mikono motero kuti anayika dzanja lake lamanja pamutu pa Efereimu ngakhale kuti iyeyo anali wamngʼono ndi dzanja lake lakumanzere analisanjika pamutu pa Manase ngakhale kuti iyeyu ndiye anali mwana woyamba.
Ke Israel tso ga eƒe abɔwo esime wòdi be yeada yeƒe asiwo ɖe ɖeviawo ƒe tawo dzi. Ale eƒe ɖusi nɔ Efraim, ame si nye ɖevitɔ, eye wònɔ eƒe miame la ƒe ta dzi, eye eƒe miasi nɔ Manase, ame si nye tsitsitɔ, eye wònɔ eƒe ɖusime la ƒe ta dzi.
15 Kenaka anadalitsa Yosefe nati, “Mulungu amene makolo anga Abrahamu ndi Isake anamutumikira, Mulungu amene wakhala ali mʼbusa wanga moyo wanga wonse kufikira lero,
Eyra Yosef kple nya siawo be, “Mawu, fofonye Abraham kple Isak ƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔm le nye agbenɔɣi katã me la nayra ŋutsuvi siawo nukutɔe.
16 mngelo amene wandipulumutsa ine ku zovuta zonse, ameneyo adalitse anyamata awa. Kudzera mwa iwowa dzina langa ndi mayina a makolo anga, Abrahamu ndi Isake, adzamveka. Iwowa adzakhala ndi ana ambiri nadzasanduka mtundu waukulu pa dziko lapansi.”
Mawudɔla si ɖem tso xaxa ɖe sia ɖe me la nayra ɖevi siawo, woade bubu nye ŋkɔ ŋu, eye woade bubu fofonye Abraham kple Isak ƒe ŋkɔwo ŋu. Mawu naɖi ne woazu dukɔ gã aɖe.”
17 Yosefe ataona kuti abambo ake ayika dzanja lamanja pa Efereimu, sanakondwere. Choncho anagwira dzanja la abambo ake kuti alichotse pamutu pa Efereimu ndi kuliyika pamutu pa Manase,
Ke Yosef tɔtɔ, eye mekpɔ ŋudzedze le ale si fofoa da eƒe nuɖusi ɖe Efraim ƒe ta dzi la ŋu o. Ale wòɖe fofoa ƒe nuɖusi ɖa be yeadae ɖe Manase boŋ tɔ dzi.
18 nati kwa abambo ake, “Ayi, abambo anga, uyu ndiye woyamba kubadwa, ikani dzanja lanu lamanja pamutu pake.”
Egblɔ be, “Ao, fofonye, ètsɔ wò nuɖusi da ɖe ame si ƒe ta dzi mele be nàdae ɖo o la! Ame si le afi sia lae nye tsitsitɔ. Da wò nuɖusi ɖe eya boŋ dzi!”
19 Koma abambo ake anakana nati, “Ndikudziwa, mwana wanga, ndikudziwa. Adzukulu a iyeyunso adzakhala mtundu waukulu. Komabe mʼbale wake wamngʼonoyu adzakhala wamkulu kuposa iye, ndipo zidzukulu zake zidzakhala mitundu yayikulu ya anthu.”
Ke fofoa gbe hegblɔ nɛ be, “Vinye, menya nu si wɔm mele. Manase hã azu dukɔ gã aɖe, ke nɔvia suetɔ azu dukɔ gã wu.”
20 Tsono iye anawadalitsa tsiku limenelo nati, “Aisraeli adzagwiritsa ntchito dzina lanu podalitsa nadzati: Mulungu akudalitseni monga Efereimu ndi Manase.” Choncho anayika Efereimu patsogolo pa Manase.
Ale Yakob yra ɖeviawo gbe ma gbe ale: “Israelviwo nayra wo nɔewo agblɔ be, ‘Mawu nana nuwo nadze edzi na wò abe Efraim kple Manase ene!’” Ale wòtsɔ Efraim ɖo tsitsi na Manase.
21 Kenaka Israeli anati kwa Yosefe, “Ine ndatsala pangʼono kufa, koma Mulungu adzakhala ndipo adzakutenganinso kubwerera nanu ku dziko la makolo anu.
Israel gblɔ na Yosef be, “Mele kuku ge kpuie, ke Mawu anɔ kpli wò, eye wòagakplɔ wò ayi Kanaan, fofowòwo ƒe anyigba dzi.
22 Ndiponso iwe wekha ndikupatsa moposera abale ako, malo woonjezera, Sekemu, malo amene ndinalanda kwa Aamori ndi lupanga ndi uta wanga.”
Metsɔ Sekemnyigba si metsɔ nye yi kple dati xɔ le Amoritɔwo si la na wò ɖe nɔviwòwo teƒe be wòanye wò gome.”
