Genesis 48
1 Now after these things, word came to Joseph that his father was ill: and he took with him his sons Manasseh and Ephraim.
Stalo se pak potom, že povědíno jest Jozefovi: Aj, otec tvůj nemocen jest. I vzal s sebou dva syny své, Manasse a Efraima.
2 And when they said to Jacob, Your son Joseph is coming to see you: then Israel, getting all his strength together, had himself lifted up in his bed.
Tedy oznámeno jest Jákobovi a povědíno: Aj, syn tvůj Jozef přišel k tobě.
3 And Jacob said to Joseph, God, the Ruler of all, came to me in a vision at Luz in the land of Canaan, and gave me his blessing,
A posilniv se Izrael, usadil se na ložci a řekl Jozefovi: Bůh silný všemohoucí ukázav mi se v Lůza v zemi Kananejské, požehnal mi.
4 And said to me, Truly, I will make you fertile and give you increase and will make of you a great family of nations: and I will give this land to your seed after you to be their heritage for ever.
A řekl ke mně: Aj, já rozplodím tě a rozmnožím tebe, a učiním tě v zástupy lidí; dám také zemi tuto semeni tvému po tobě za dědictví věčné.
5 And now your two sons who came to birth in Egypt before I came to you here, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, in the same way as Reuben and Simeon are.
Protož nyní, dva synové tvoji, kteřížť jsou se zrodili v zemi Egyptské, prvé než jsem přišel k tobě do Egypta, moji jsou; Efraim a Manasses budou mi jako Ruben a Simeon.
6 And any other offspring which you have after them, will be yours, and will be named after their brothers in their heritage.
Ale děti, kteréž po těchto zplodíš, tvoji budou; jménem bratří svých jmenováni budou v dědictvích svých.
7 And as for me, when I came from Paddan, death overtook Rachel on the way, when we were still some distance from Ephrath; and I put her to rest there on the road to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.
Nebo když jsem se vracel z Pádan, umřela mi Ráchel v zemi Kananejské na cestě, když již nedaleko bylo do Efraty; a pochoval jsem ji tam u cesty k Efratě, jenž jest Betlém.
8 Then Israel, looking at Joseph's sons, said, Who are these?
Uzřev potom Izrael syny Jozefovy, řekl: Kdo jsou onino?
9 And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this land. And he said, Let them come near me, and I will give them a blessing.
Odpověděl Jozef otci svému: Synové moji jsou, kteréž dal mi Bůh zde. I řekl: Přiveď je medle ke mně, a požehnám jim
10 Now because Israel was old, his eyes were no longer clear, and he was not able to see. So he made them come near to him, and he gave them a kiss, folding them in his arms.
(Oči pak Izraelovy mdlé byly pro starost, a nemohl dobře viděti.) I přivedl je k němu, a on líbal a objímal je.
11 And Israel said to Joseph, I had no hope of seeing your face again, but God in his mercy has let me see you and your children.
I řekl Izrael Jozefovi: Nemyslilť jsem já, abych měl kdy viděti tvář tvou, a aj, dal mi Bůh, abych viděl i símě tvé.
12 Then Joseph took them from between his knees, and went down on his face to the earth.
Tedy vzav je Jozef z klína jeho, sklonil se tváří až k zemi.
13 Then taking Ephraim with his right hand, Joseph put him at Israel's left side, and with his left hand he put Manasseh at Israel's right side, placing them near him.
A vzav oba, Efraima na pravou stranu sobě, Izraelovi pak na levou, a Manassesa na levou sobě, Izraelovi pak na pravou, postavil je před ním.
14 And Israel, stretching out his right hand, put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands on purpose, for Manasseh was the older.
Tedy vztáh Izrael pravici svou, vložil ji na hlavu Efraimovu, kterýž byl mladší, levici pak svou na hlavu Manassesovu, naschvál přeloživ ruce, ačkoli Manasses byl prvorozený.
15 And he gave Joseph a blessing, saying, May the God to whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, gave worship, the God who has taken care of me all my life till this day,
I požehnal Jozefovi, řka: Bůh, před jehož oblíčejem ustavičně chodili otcové moji Abraham a Izák, Bůh, kterýž mne spravoval po všecken život můj až do dne tohoto;
16 The angel who has been my saviour from all evil, send his blessing on these children: and let my name and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, be given to them; and let them become a great nation in the earth.
Anděl ten, kterýž vytrhl mne ze všeho zlého, požehnejž dítek těchto; a ať slovou synové moji a synové otců mých Abrahama a Izáka; a ať se jako hmyz rozmnoží u prostřed země.
17 Now when Joseph saw that his father had put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it did not seem right to him; and lifting his father's hand he would have put it on the head of Manasseh.
Vida pak Jozef, že vložil otec jeho ruku svou pravou na hlavu Efraimovu, nerád byl tomu. I zdvihl ruku otce svého, aby ji přenesl s hlavy Efraimovy na hlavu Manassesovu.
18 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the older; put your right hand on his head.
A řekl jemu: Ne tak, otče můj; nebo toto jest prvorozený, vložiž pravici svou na hlavu jeho.
19 But his father would not, saying, I am doing it on purpose, my son; he will certainly become a nation and a great one; but his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a great family of nations.
Ale nepovolil otec jeho, a řekl: Vím, synu můj, vím; takéť i on bude v lid, a také i on vzroste; však bratr jeho mladší více poroste než on, a símě jeho bude u veliké množství národů.
20 So he gave them his blessing that day, saying, You will be the sign of blessing in Israel, for they will say, May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh; and he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
I požehnal jim v ten den, řka: Skrze tebe požehnání bude dávati Izrael takto: Učiniž tobě Bůh jako Efraimovi a jako Manassesovi. I představil Efraima Manassesovi.
21 Then Israel said to Joseph, Now my death is near; but God will be with you, guiding you back to the land of your fathers.
Řekl také Izrael Jozefovi: Aj, já umírám, a budeť Bůh s vámi, a zase vás přivede do země otců vašich.
22 And I have given you more than your brothers, even Shechem as your heritage, which I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow.
Já pak dal jsem tobě jeden díl výš nad bratří tvé, kteréhož jsem mečem svým a lučištěm svým dosáhl z ruky Amorejského.
