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.
A MAHOPE iho o keia mau mea, hai aku la kekahi ia Iosepa, Ua mai kou makuakane. Lawe ae la ia i kana mau keikikane, ia Manase laua o Eperaima.
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.
A hai ae la kekahi ia Iakoba, i ae la, Eia ae kau keiki o Iosepa, ke hele mai la iou nei. Hooikaika ae la o Iseraela, a noho iho la ma kahi moe.
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,
Olelo aku la o Iakoba ia Iosepa, Ikea mai la ke Akua mana ia'u ma Luza, ma ka aina o Kanaana, a hoomaikai mai la ia ia'u.
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.
I mai la, E hoomahuahua aku au ia oe; a e hoonui aku ia oe, a e hoolilo ia oe i lahuikanaka nui loa, a e haawi aku i keia aina, no kau poe mamo mahope ou, i hooilina mau loa.
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.
A o na keiki au elua, i hanauia mai nau ma ka aiua i Aigupita nei, i ka wa mamua aku o ko'u hele ana mai ia oe i Aigupita nei, na'u no laua. O Eperaima a o Manase, e like me Reubena a me Simeona, pela no laua na'u.
6 And any other offspring which you have after them, will be yours, and will be named after their brothers in their heritage.
A o kau mau keiki i hanauia mai nau, mahope mai o laua e kapaia lakou ma ka inoa o ko lakou mau kaikuaana ma ko lakou noho ana.
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.
I ko'u hele ana mai, mai Padana mai, make ae la o Rahela ma ko'u aoao, ma ka aina o Kanaana, ma ke ala, kokoke e hiki aku i Eperata, a kanu iho la au ia ia malaila ma ke ala ma Eperata, oia hoi o Betelehema.
8 Then Israel, looking at Joseph's sons, said, Who are these?
A ike aku la o Iseraela i na keiki a Iosepa, ninau aku la ia, Owai laua nei?
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.
I mai la o Iosepa i kona makuakane, O laua nei na keiki a'u, a ke Akua i haawi mai ai na'u ma keia wahi. I mai la kela, E hoonoho oe ia laua imua o'u, a e hoomaikai aku au ia laua.
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.
Kaumaha no na maka o Iseraela, no ka elemakule, aole hiki ia ia ke nana; a hoonoho mai kela ia laua imua ona, a honi aku la oia ia laua, a puliki iho la.
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 ae la o Iseraela ia Iosepa, Aole au i manao e ike aku i kou maka, aia hoi, ua hoike mai ke Akua ia'u i kau mau keiki.
12 Then Joseph took them from between his knees, and went down on his face to the earth.
A lawe mai la o Iosepa ia laua mawaena mai o kona mau kuli, a kulou iho la ia me ka maka ilalo i ka honua.
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.
Lawe iho la o Iosepa ia laua a elua, ia Eperaima i kona lima akau, ma ka lima hema o Iseraela, a ia Manase, i kona lima hema ma ka lima akau o Iseraela, a hoonoho iho la ia laua imua ona.
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.
Hohola aku la o Iseraela i kona lima akau, a kau iho la ma ke poo o Eperaima, oia hoi ke kaikaina, a i kona lima hema hoi, ma ke poo o Manase: kau akamai no ia i kona lima; no ka mea, o Manase ka hanau mua.
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,
Hoomaikai mai la oia ia Iosepa, i mai la, Na ke Akua, ka mea a ko'u mau makua o Aberahama a me Isaaka i hele ae imua ona, na ke Akua nana wau i malama mai, mai ko'u wa uuku a hiki loa mai i neia la;
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.
Na ka Anela i hoopakele mai ia'u mai loko mai o ka hewa a pau, e hoomaikai ia mau keiki, a e heaia ko'u inoa maluna o laua, a me ka inoa o ko'u makua o Aberahama, a me Isaaka, a e laha loa laua i poe nui iwaena o ka honua.
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.
A ike aku la o Iosepa, ua kau aku kona makuakane i kona lima akau ma ke poo o Eperaima, ua hewa ia i kona maka; hapai ae la ia i ka lima o kona makuakane e hoihoi ae, mai ke poe ae o Eperaima a i ke poo o Manase.
18 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the older; put your right hand on his head.
I aku la o Iosepa i kona makuakane, Aole pela, e ko'u makuakane, o ke kaikuaana keia, e kau oe i kou lima akau maluna o kona poe.
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.
Hoole mai la kona makuakane, i mai la, Ua ike au, e kuu keiki, ua ike au, e lilo no hoi ia i lahuikanaka a e nui no ia, aka, o kona kaikaina, e kela aku kona nui mamua o keia, a e lilo ana ia i lahuikanaka nui loa.
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.
Hoomaikai aku la oia ia laua ia la, i aku la, iloko ou e hoomaikai aku ka Iseraela, me ka i ana aku, E hoohalike mai ke Akua ia oe me Eperaima a me Manase. Hoonoho no oia ia Eperaima mamua o Manase.
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.
I mai la o Iseraela ia Iosepa, Eia hoi, na kokoke au e make, a e noho ana no ke Akua me oukou, a e hoihoi aku no ia ia oukou i ka aina o ko oukou poe makua.
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.
Ua haawi hoi au in oe i kekahi puu waiwai maluna o kou poe hanauna, i ka mea a'u i loaa ai ma ka lima o ka Amora, me kuu pahikaua a me kuu kakaka.
