Genesis 48
1 After these things were done, it was reported to Joseph that his father was sick. And taking his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim, he went directly to him.
Bayan wani lokaci aka faɗa wa Yusuf, “Mahaifinka yana ciwo.” Sai ya ɗauki’ya’yansa maza biyu, Manasse da Efraim suka tafi tare da shi.
2 And it was told to the old man, “Behold, your son Joseph is coming to you.” And being strengthened, he sat up in bed.
Sa’ad da aka faɗa wa Yaƙub, “Ɗanka Yusuf ya zo gare ka,” sai Isra’ila ya ƙoƙarta ya tashi ya zauna a kan gado.
3 And when he had entered to him, he said: “Almighty God appeared to me at Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, and he blessed me.
Yaƙub ya ce wa Yusuf, “Allah Maɗaukaki ya bayyana gare ni a Luz a ƙasar Kan’ana, a can ya albarkace ni
4 And he said: ‘I will increase and multiply you, and I will make you influential among the people. And I will give this land to you, and to your offspring after you, as an everlasting possession.’
ya kuma ce mini, ‘Zan sa ka yi ta haihuwa ka kuma riɓaɓɓanya, za ka ƙaru a yawa. Zan mai da kai al’ummar mutane, zan kuma ba ka wannan ƙasa tă zama madawwamiyar mallaka ga zuriyarka a bayanka.’
5 Therefore, your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came here to you, will be mine. Ephraim and Manasseh will be treated by me just like Reuben and Simeon.
“To, yanzu,’ya’ya mazanka biyu da aka haifa maka a Masar kafin in zo a nan za su zama nawa; Efraim da Manasse za su zama nawa, kamar yadda Ruben da Simeyon suke nawa.
6 But the remainder, whom you will conceive after them, will be yours, and they will be called by the name of their brothers among their possessions.
Duk waɗansu’ya’yan da aka haifa maka bayansu za su zama naka; a yankin da suka gāda za a lissafa a ƙarƙashin sunayen’yan’uwansu.
7 As for me, when I came from Mesopotamia, Rachel died in the land of Canaan on the very journey, and it was springtime. And I entered Ephrath and buried her next to the way of Ephrath, which by another name is called Bethlehem.”
Yayinda nake dawowa daga Faddan Aram, cikin baƙin cikina Rahila ta rasu a ƙasar Kan’ana yayinda muke kan hanya,’yar rata daga Efrata. Saboda haka na binne ta a can kusa da hanya zuwa Efrata” (wato, Betlehem).
8 Then, seeing his sons, he said to him: “Who are these?”
Sa’ad da Isra’ila ya ga’ya’yan Yusuf maza, sai ya yi tambaya, “Su wane ne waɗannan?”
9 He responded, “They are my sons, whom God gave to me as a gift in this place.” “Bring them to me,” he said, “so that I may bless them.”
Yusuf ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Su ne’ya’yan da Allah ya ba ni a nan.” Sa’an nan Isra’ila ya ce, “Kawo mini su saboda in albarkace su.”
10 For Israel’s eyes were clouded by reason of his great age, and he was unable to see clearly. And when they were placed up against him, he kissed and embraced them.
Yanzu fa idanun Isra’ila sun fara rasa ƙarfi saboda tsufa, har ba ya iya gani sosai. Saboda haka Yusuf ya kawo’ya’yansa maza kusa da shi, sai mahaifinsa ya sumbace su ya rungume su.
11 And he said to his son: “I have not been cheated out of seeing you. Moreover, God has shown me your offspring.”
Isra’ila ya ce wa Yusuf, “Ban yi tsammani zan ga fuskarka kuma ba, yanzu kuwa Allah ya bar ni in ga’ya’yanka su ma.”
12 And when Joseph had taken them from his father’s lap, he reverenced prone on the ground.
Sa’an nan Yusuf ya ɗauke su daga gwiwoyin Isra’ila ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.
13 And he placed Ephraim on his right, that is, towards the left hand of Israel. Yet truly Manasseh was on his left, namely, towards his father’s right hand. And he placed them both up against him.
Yusuf ya ɗauke su biyu, Efraim a damansa zuwa hagun Isra’ila, Manasse kuma a hagunsa zuwa hannun daman Isra’ila, ya kuma kawo su kusa da shi.
14 And he, extending his right hand, placed it over the head of Ephraim, the younger brother, but the left hand was on the head of Manasseh, who was the elder, so that his hands were crossed.
Amma Isra’ila ya miƙa hannun damansa ya sa shi a kan Efraim, ko da yake shi ne ƙaramin, ta wurin harɗewa hannuwansa, ya sa hannun hagunsa a kan Manasse, ko da yake Manasse ne ɗan farinsa.
15 And Jacob blessed the sons of Joseph, and he said: “God, in whose sight my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, walked; God, who pastured me from my youth until the present day;
Sa’an nan ya albarkaci Yusuf ya ce, “Bari Allah a gaban wanda kakannina Ibrahim da Ishaku suka yi tafiya, Allahn da ya zama makiyayina dukan raina zuwa wannan rana,
16 the Angel, who rescues me from all evils: bless these boys. And let my name be invoked over them, and also the names of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac. And may they increase into a multitude across the earth.”
Mala’ikan da ya cece ni daga dukan cuta bari yă albarkaci samarin nan. Bari a kira su da sunana da sunayen kakannina Ibrahim da Ishaku bari kuma su ƙaru ƙwarai a bisa duniya.”
17 But Joseph, seeing that his father had placed his right hand over the head of Ephraim, took it gravely. And grasping his father’s hand, he tried to lift it from Ephraim’s head and transfer it onto the head of Manasseh.
Sa’ad da Yusuf ya ga mahaifinsa yana sa hannun damansa a kan Efraim bai ji daɗi ba; saboda haka ya ɗauke hannun mahaifinsa ya cire shi daga kan Efraim zuwa kan Manasse.
18 And he said to his father: “It should not have come to pass this way, father. For this one is the firstborn. Place your right hand over his head.”
Yusuf ya ce masa, “A’a, mahaifina, wannan shi ne ɗan farin; ka sa hannunka na dama a kansa.”
19 But refusing, he said: “I know, my son, I know. And this one, indeed, will be among the people and will be multiplied. But his younger brother will be greater than he. And his offspring will increase among the nations.”
Amma mahaifinsa ya ƙi ya ce, “Na sani, ɗana, na sani. Shi ma zai zama mutane, zai kuma zama mai girma. Duk da haka ɗan’uwansa zai zama mai girma fiye da shi, kuma zuriyarsa za tă zama ƙungiyar al’ummai.”
20 And he blessed them at that time, saying: “In you, Israel will be blessed, and it will be said: ‘May God treat you like Ephraim, and like Manasseh.’” And he established Ephraim before Manasseh.
Ya albarkace su a wannan rana ya ce, “A cikin sunanku Isra’ila zai sa wannan albarka ‘Bari Allah yă sa ku zama kamar Efraim da Manasse.’” Saboda haka ya sa Efraim gaban Manasse.
21 And he said to his son Joseph: “See, I am dying, and God will be with you, and he will lead you back to the land of your fathers.
Sa’an nan Isra’ila ya ce wa Yusuf, “Ina gab da mutuwa, amma Allah zai kasance tare da ku
22 I give you one part beyond that of your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.”
Kuma gare ka, a matsayi wanda yake kan’yan’uwanka, na ba da gonar da na karɓe daga Amoriyawa da takobi da kuma bakana.”
