Genesis 48
1 Sometime after this, Joseph was told, “Your father is sick.” So Joseph went to see him, taking with him his two sons Manasseh 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 When Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has come to you,” he gathered his strength and 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 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in Canaan, and he blessed me there.
Tas visuvarenais Dievs man ir parādījies Lūzā, Kanaāna zemē, un mani svētījis.
4 He told me, ‘Listen! I will make you prosperous and make your descendants so numerous that you will become the ancestor of many nations, and I will give this land to your descendants to own forever.’
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 I am counting as mine your two sons Ephraim and Manasseh who were born here in Egypt before I arrived, just as Reuben and Simeon are mine.
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 Any other children you have after them will be yours, and will share their inheritance within the land of their older brothers.
Bet tavi bērni, kas tev dzims pēc viņiem, tev piederēs, tiem būs tapt nosauktiem pēc savu brāļu vārda viņu iemantojamā tiesā.
7 I'm doing this because tragically for me when I was returning from Paddan-aram, Rachel died in Canaan some distance from Ephrath. I buried her there on the way to Ephrath” (also known as 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 Israel saw Jacob's sons and said, “These are your sons then?”
Un Israēls ieraudzīja Jāzepa dēlus un sacīja: kam šie ir?
9 “Yes, these are the sons God gave me here,” Joseph told his father. “Bring them over here so I can bless them,” he said.
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 Israel's eyesight was failing because of his age and he couldn't see well, so Joseph brought them close to his father, and he kissed and hugged 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 Israel said to Joseph, “I never thought I'd see your face again, and now God has even let me see your children!”
Un Israēls sacīja uz Jāzepu: es nedomāju redzēt tavu vaigu, un raugi, Dievs man licis redzēt arī tavu dzimumu.
12 Joseph took his sons from between Israel's knees, and bowed low with his face to the ground.
Un Jāzeps tos ņēma no viņa klēpja un ar savu vaigu nometās pie zemes.
13 Then Joseph placed Ephraim on his right so he would be on Israel's left, and Manasseh on his left so he would be on Israel's right, and then brought them over to Israel.
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 when Israel reached out his hands, he crossed them over and placed his right hand on Ephraim the younger son, and placed his left on Manasseh, the firstborn.
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 He blessed Joseph, saying, “May the God my grandfather Abraham and my father worshiped—the God who has taken care of me like a shepherd throughout my life until now,
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 has saved me from all kinds of trouble—may he bless these boys. May my name and the names of my grandfather Abraham and father Isaac continue through them, and may they have many descendants that spread throughout 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 Joseph was unhappy when saw his father had put his right hand on Ephraim, so he took his father's hand to try and move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
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 “Not like that, father, this is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head,” Joseph told him.
Un Jāzeps sacīja uz savu tēvu: ne tā, mans tēvs, jo šis ir tas pirmdzimtais, liec savu labo roku uz viņa galvu.
19 But his father refused, saying, “I know what I'm doing. Manasseh will also become an important people, but his younger brother will be greater than him, and his descendants will become a large nation.”
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 So Israel blessed them that day and said: “In the future the people of Israel will use your names to give a blessing, saying, ‘May God bless you like he did Ephraim and Manasseh.’” In saying this he placed 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 Then Israel said to Joseph, “I'm going to die soon, but God will be with you and bring 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'm also giving you something in addition to what I'm giving your brothers—piece of land on the mountain slope of Shechem that I took from the Amorites 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.
