Genesis 48
1 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick. And he took with him his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim.
Ie roñoñe añe, le nisaontsieñe am’ Iosefe ty hoe, Fa deme’e ty rae’o. Aa le nente’e mindre ama’e ty ana-dahi’e roe, i Menasè naho i Efraime,
2 And one told Jacob and said, Behold, thy son Joseph is coming to thee. And Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
le nisaontsieñe am’ Iakòbe ty hoe, Ingo fa pok’ etoa t’Iosefe ana’o, le nañaly haozaran-dre nitroatse amy fandrea’ey,
3 And Jacob said to Joseph, The Almighty God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
vaho nanao ty hoe am’ Iosefe, Nañento amako t’i El-Sadai e Loze, an-tane Kanàne añe, ie nitata ahy
4 and he said to me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of peoples; and will give this land to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting possession.
ami’ty hoe, Inao, hampiraoraoeko irehe vaho hampitomboeko. Hanoeko foko am-poko, vaho hatoloko amo tarira’oo ty tane toy ho fanañañe tsy ho modo nainai’e.
5 And now thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon.
Ie amy zay, ho ahiko t’i Efraime naho i Menasè, i ana’o roe nitoly ama’o an-tane Mitsraime atoy aolo’ ty nimbako mb’ama’o mb’e Mitsraime atoy rey; hambañe ami’ty maha-ahiko i Reòbene naho i Simone;
6 And thy family which thou hast begotten after them shall be thine: they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
le ho azo ze samahe’o manonjohy iareo, vaho ho volilieñe ambane’ ty tahina’ o rahalahi’eo iereo amo lova’iareoo.
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem.
Aa izaho nimpoly boak’e Padana añe, le nihomak’ amako an-tane Kanàne añe t’i Rahkele, an-dalañe eo ie didý tsy nimoake Efràta ao; aa le naleveko añ’olon-dala’ i Efràta eo. (e Betlèkheme izay.)
8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
Ie nioni’ Iakòbe i ana’ Iosefe rey, le hoe re, Ia o retiañeo?
9 And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, that I may bless them.
Hoe t’Iosefe aman-drae’e, Ie o anako natolon’ Añahare ahy atoio. Le hoe re, Ehe endeso mb’etoa ho tataeko.
10 But the eyes of Israel were heavy from age: he could not see. And he brought them nearer to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Ie amy zao, nitàlo am-pihaino t’Iakòbe ami’ty fahantera’e, tsy nahaisake soa. Aa le navi’ Iosefe marine aze eo iereo le norofa’e vaho niforokokoe’e.
11 And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face; and behold, God has let me see also thy seed.
Hoe t’Israele am’Iosefe, Tsy nitamako ty hahatrea o tarehe’oo; fa hehe, nampañisahen’ Añahare ahy ka o ana’oo.
12 And Joseph brought them out from his knees, and bowed down with his face to the earth.
Le nakare’ Iosefe añ’ongo’e iereo vaho nampiondrehe’e mb’an-tane ty lahara’e.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought [them] near to him.
Rinambe’ Iosefe i roroey, i Efraime am-pità’e havana ho mb’an-kavia’ Israele, le i Menasè am-pità’e havia mb’an-kavana’ Israele vaho nampañarinea’e.
14 But Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid [it] on Ephraim's head — now he was the younger — and his left hand on Manasseh's head; guiding his hands intelligently, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Fe nahiti’ Israele ty fità’e havana naho nasampe’e an-doha i Efraime zai’e vaho ty fità’e havia an-doha’ i Menasè, toe nampitivalañe’e o fità’eo ndra te i Menasè ty tañoloñoloña’e.
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God that shepherded me all my life long to this day,
Nitatae’e t’Iosefe, ami’ty hoe: Ry Andrianañahare niatrefan-droaeko Avrahame naho Ietsàke am-pañaveloañe, Ry Andrianañahare namahañe ahy ami’ty fiaiko iaby pak’ androany,
16 the Angel that redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the land!
Ry anjely namotsots’ ahy amy ze fonga haratiañe, tahio o ajalahy retoañe, le ampitokavo ami’ty añarako, naho ami’ty tahina’ i Avrahame naho Ietsàke roaeko; vaho ampivasiaño an-tane atoy.
17 When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
Ie nioni’ Iosefe te an-doha’ i Efraime ty nampitongoàn-drae’e i fità’e havanay, le tsy ninò’e vaho rinambe’e ty fitàn-drae’e hampipitsok’ aze an-doha’ i Efraime ho amy loha’ i Menasèy.
18 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn: put thy right hand on his head.
Hoe t’Iosefe aman-drae’e, Tsy izay ry raeko! Ano ami’ty raike toy ty fità’o, ie ty tañoloñoloñako.
19 But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know: he also will become a people, and he also will be great; but truly his younger brother will be greater than he; and his seed will become the fulness of nations.
Fe nifoneñe ty rae’e nanao ty hoe, Fantako ry anako, apotako t’ie ho fifokoañe ka, mbore ho ra’elahy. Fe handikoatse aze ty zai’e, fa ho halifora’ o fifeheañeo o tarira’eo.
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasseh! And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Aa le nitatae’e iereo amy andro zay ami’ty hoe: Ihe ty hitatà’ Israele, ami’ty hoe, Ehe t’ie hampanahafen’Añahare amy Efraime naho amy Menasè. Aa le najado’e ho lohà’ i Menasè t’i Efraime.
21 And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
Le hoe t’Israele am’ Iosefe, Inao te hikenkan-draho, fe hindre ama’ areo t’i Andrianañahare vaho hampoli’e mb’an-tanen-droae’ areo mb’eo.
22 And I have given to thee one tract [of land] above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
Tovo’ izay, fa natoloko anjara raik’ ambone’ o rahalahi’oo irehe, i tinavako am-pibarako naho faleko am-pità’ o nte-Emoreoy.
