Genesis 48
1 And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Joseph, Behold, thy father is ill; and, having taken his two sons, Manasse and Ephraim, he came to Jacob.
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 it was reported to Jacob, saying, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh to thee; and Israel having strengthened himself, sat upon the 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, My God appeared to me in Luza, in the land of Chanaan, and blessed me,
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, Behold, I will increase thee, and multiply thee, and will make of thee multitudes of nations; and I will give this land to thee, and to thy seed after thee, for an everlasting possession.
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 Now then thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt, before I came to thee into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasse, as Ruben and Symeon they shall be mine.
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 the children which thou shalt beget hereafter, shall be in the name of their brethren; they shall be named after their inheritances.
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 out of Mesopotamia of Syria, Rachel, thy mother, died in the land of Chanaan, as I drew night to the horse-course of Chabratha of the land [of Chanaan], so as to come to Ephratha; and I buried her in the road of the course; this is Bethlehem.
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 And when Israel saw the sons of Joseph, he said, Who are these to thee?
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 gave me here; and Jacob said, Bring me them, that I may bless them.
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 the eyes of Israel were dim through age, and he could not see; and he brought them near to him, and he kissed them, and embraced them.
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, Behold, I have not been deprived of [seeing] thy face, and lo! God has showed me thy seed also.
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 And Joseph brought them out from [between] his knees, and they did reverence to him, with their face to the ground.
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 And Joseph took his two sons, both Ephraim in his right hand, but on the left of Israel, and Manasse on his left hand, but on the right of Israel, and brought them near to 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 But Israel having stretched out his right hand, laid it on the head of Ephraim, and he was the younger; and his left hand on the head of Manasse, [guiding] his hands crosswise.
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 blessed them and said, The God in whose sight my fathers were well pleasing, [even] Abraam and Isaac, the God who continues to feed me from my youth until 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 delivers me from all evils, bless these boys, and my name shall be called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraam and Isaac; and let them be increased to a great multitude on 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 And Joseph having seen that his father put his right hand on the head of Ephraim—it seemed grievous to him; and Joseph took hold of the hand of his father, to remove it from the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasse.
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, father; for this is the first-born; lay thy right-hand upon 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 And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be exalted, but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude 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 And he blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel be blessed, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasse; and he set Ephraim before Manasse.
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 And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God shall be with you, and restore you 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 give to thee Sicima, a select portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and 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.
