< 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.
Un notikās pēc tam, ka Jāzepam sacīja: redzi, tavs tēvs ir nevesels. Tad tas ņēma līdz savus divus dēlus, Manasu un Efraīmu.
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.
Un Jēkabam tapa teikts un sacīts: redzi, tavs dēls Jāzeps nāk pie tevis. Tad Israēls saņēmās spēkā un apsēdās uz gultas. Un Jēkabs sacīja uz Jāzepu:
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.
Tas visuvarenais Dievs man ir parādījies Lūzā, Kanaāna zemē, un mani svētījis.
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.’
Un viņš uz mani sacījis: redzi, Es tev likšu augļoties un tevi vairošu un tevi celšu par tautu pulku, un došu šo zemi tavam dzimumam pēc tevis par mūžīgu mantu.
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.
Un nu taviem diviem dēliem, kas Ēģiptē dzimuši, pirms nekā es pie tevis esmu atnācis uz Ēģipti, tiem būs būt maniem; Efraīms un Manasus būs man tāpat, kā Rūbens un Sīmeans.
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.
Bet tavi bērni, kas tev dzims pēc viņiem, tev piederēs, tiem būs tapt nosauktiem pēc savu brāļu vārda viņu iemantojamā tiesā.
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.”
Kad es nu nācu no Mezopotamijas, tad Rahēle pie manis ir nomirusi Kanaāna zemē uz ceļa, mazu gabalu no Efratas, un es viņu apraku tur Efratas ceļmalā, - un šī ir Bētleme.
8 Then, seeing his sons, he said to him: “Who are these?”
Un Israēls ieraudzīja Jāzepa dēlus un sacīja: kam šie ir?
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.”
Un Jāzeps sacīja uz savu tēvu: tie ir mani dēli, ko Dievs man še devis. Un viņš sacīja: pieved jel tos pie manis, ka es tos svētīju.
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.
Bet Israēla acis bija tumšas no vecuma, un viņš nevarēja redzēt, un tas tos pie viņa pieveda, un viņš tos skūpstīja un tos apkampa.
11 And he said to his son: “I have not been cheated out of seeing you. Moreover, God has shown me your offspring.”
Un Israēls sacīja uz Jāzepu: es nedomāju redzēt tavu vaigu, un raugi, Dievs man licis redzēt arī tavu dzimumu.
12 And when Joseph had taken them from his father’s lap, he reverenced prone on the ground.
Un Jāzeps tos ņēma no viņa klēpja un ar savu vaigu nometās pie zemes.
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.
Un Jāzeps tos abus ņēma, Efraīmu ar savu labo roku Israēlim pa kreiso roku, un Manasu ar savu kreiso roku Israēlim pa labo roku, un tos viņam pieveda klāt.
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.
Un Israēls izstiepa savu labo roku un to lika uz Efraīma galvu, jebšu tas bija tas jaunākais, un savu kreiso roku uz Manasus galvu; viņš ar ziņu tā savas rokas lika, jebšu Manasus bija tas pirmdzimtais.
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;
Un viņš svētīja Jāzepu un sacīja: tas Dievs, priekš kura vaiga mani tēvi, Ābrahāms un Īzaks, staigājuši, - tas Dievs, kas mani visu mūžu līdz šai dienai ir ganījis, -
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.”
Tas eņģelis, kas mani pestījis no visa ļauna, - tas lai svētī šos bērnus, ka iekš tiem mans vārds top nosaukts un manu tēvu, Ābrahāma un Īzaka, vārds, un ka tie pa pulkiem vairojās virs zemes.
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.
Un Jāzeps redzēja, ka viņa tēvs savu labo roku lika uz Efraīma galvu, un tas viņam nepatika, un viņš satvēra sava tēva roku, to nolikdams no Efraīma galvas uz Manasus galvu.
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.”
Un Jāzeps sacīja uz savu tēvu: ne tā, mans tēvs, jo šis ir tas pirmdzimtais, liec savu labo roku uz viņa galvu.
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.”
Bet viņa tēvs liedzās un sacīja: es to gan zinu, mans dēls, gan zinu. Arī šis būs par ļaužu pulku, un tas arī būs liels, bet tomēr viņa jaunākais brālis būs lielāks nekā viņš, un viņa dzimums būs par lielu ļaužu tautu.
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.
Un viņš tos svētīja tanī dienā un sacīja: iekš tevis Israēls svētīs un sacīs: lai Dievs tevi dara tā kā Efraīmu un kā Manasu, un viņš cēla Efraīmu pāri par Manasu.
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.
Pēc Israēls sacīja uz Jāzepu: redzi, es mirstu, bet Dievs būs ar jums un jūs vedīs atpakaļ uz jūsu tēvu zemi.
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.”
Un es tev dodu vienu daļu pāri par taviem brāļiem, ko es no Amoriešu rokas esmu ņēmis ar savu zobenu un ar savu stopu.
