Genesis 48
1 After these things, it was told Joseph that his father was sick: and he set out to go to him, taking his two sons Manasses and Ephraim.
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 the old man: Behold thy son Joseph cometh to thee. And being strengthened he sat on his 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 Joseph was come in to him, he said: God Almighty appeared to me at Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan: and he blessed me,
Tas visuvarenais Dievs man ir parādījies Lūzā, Kanaāna zemē, un mani svētījis.
4 And he said: I will cause thee to increase and multiply, and I will make of thee a multitude of people: and I will give this land to thee, and to thy seed after thee for 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 So thy two sons who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came hither to thee, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasses shall be reputed to me as Ruben 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 rest whom thou shalt have after them, shall be thine, and shall be called by the name of their brethren in their possessions.
Bet tavi bērni, kas tev dzims pēc viņiem, tev piederēs, tiem būs tapt nosauktiem pēc savu brāļu vārda viņu iemantojamā tiesā.
7 For, when I came out of Mesopotamia, Rachel died from me in the land of Chanaan in the very journey, and it was springtime: and I was going to Ephrata, and I buried her near the way of Ephrata, 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 answered: They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said: Bring them to me 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 dim by reason of his great age, and he could not see clearly. And when they were brought to 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 said to his son: I am not deprived of seeing thee: moreover God hath showed me thy seed.
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 bowed down with his face to the ground.
Un Jāzeps tos ņēma no viņa klēpja un ar savu vaigu nometās pie zemes.
13 And he set Ephraim on his right hand, that is, towards the left hand of Israel; but Manasses on his left hand, to wit, towards his father’s right hand, and brought them near to 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 But he stretching forth his right hand, put it upon the head of Ephraim the younger brother; and the left upon the head of Manasses who was the elder, changing his hands.
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 said: God, in whose sight my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, God that feedeth me from my youth until this 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 that delivereth me from all evils, bless these boys: and let my name be called upon them, and the names of my fathers Abraham, and Isaac, and may they grow into a multitude upon 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 And Joseph seeing that his father had put his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, was much displeased: and taking his father’s hand he tried to lift it from Ephraim’s head, and to remove it to the head of Manasses.
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 be so, my father: for this is the firstborn, put thy right hand upon 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 he refusing, said: I know, my son, I know: and this also shall become peoples, and shall be multiplied: but this younger brother shall be greater than he: and his seed shall grow into 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 thee shall Israel be blessed, and it shall be said: God do to thee as to Ephraim, and as to Manasses. And he set Ephraim before Manasses.
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 Joseph his son: Behold I die, and God will be with you, and will bring you back into 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 thee a portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorrhite with my sword and 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.
