Genesis 48
1 Againe after this, one sayd to Ioseph, Loe, thy father is sicke: then hee tooke with him his two sonnes, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Tedae hekah olka a om phoeiah Joseph la, “Na pa te nue coeng ne,” a ti na uh hatah a ca rhoi Manasseh neh Ephraim te a caeh puei.
2 Also one told Iaakob, and said, Behold, thy sonne Ioseph is come to thee, and Israel tooke his strength vnto him and sate vpon the bed.
Te vaengah Jakob la, “Na capa Joseph nang taengla ha pawk ke,” a ti nah tih a puen pah vaengah Isreal khaw thaa a huel tih baiphaih dongah ngol.
3 Then Iaakob sayde vnto Ioseph, God almightie appeared vnto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me.
Te phoeiah Jakob loh Joseph la, “Pathen Tlungthang loh Kanaan kho kah Luz ah kai taengla ha phoe tih kai yoethen m'paek vaengah,
4 And he sayde vnto me, Behold, I wil make thee fruitefull, and will multiplie thee, and will make a great number of people of thee, and will giue this lande vnto thy seede after thee for an euerlasting possession.
kai taengah, “Kamah loh nang kam pungtai sak vetih kam ping sak vaengah pilnam hlangping la kan khueh ni. Khohmuen he khaw nang hnukah na tiingan taengah kumhal khohut la ka paek ni, ' a ti.
5 And now thy two sonnes, Manasseh and Ephraim, which are borne vnto thee in the lande of Egypt, before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are mine.
Te dongah nang taengah Egypt la ka pawk hlankah, nang loh Egypt kho kah na cun, na ca rhoi te, kai kah ni. Ephraim neh Manasseh khaw Reuben neh Simeon bangla kamah ca boeiloeih ni.
6 But the linage, which thou hast begotten after them, shalbe thine: they shall be called after the names of their brethren in their inheritance.
Tedae amih rhoi phoeikah na sak na pacaboeina te tah namah ham om saeh lamtah a maya rhoi kah a ming neh a rho te thui thil saeh.
7 Nowe when I came from Padan, Rahel died vpon mine hande in the lande of Canaan, by the way when there was but halfe a dayes iourney of grounde to come to Ephrath: and I buryed her there in the way to Ephrath: the same is Beth-lehem.
Kai khaw Paddan lamkah ka bal vaengah kamah taengkah Rakhel loh Kanaan kho kah longpueng ah duek. Te vaengah Epharath la caeh ham khaw kho te a lak om pueng. Te dongah anih te Bethlehem Epharath long ah pahoi ka up,” a ti nah.
8 Then Israel beheld Iosephs sonnes and sayd, Whose are these?
Te phoeiah Israel loh Joseph ca rhoi te a sawt tih, “Amih rhoi he ulae?,” a ti nah.
9 And Ioseph sayd vnto his father, They are my sonnes, which God hath giuen mee here. Then he sayd, I pray thee, bring them to me, that I may blesse them:
Te dongah Joseph loh a napa te, “Amih rhoi he Pathen loh he rhoek ah kai ham a khueh ka ca rhoi ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Kai taengla han khuen rhoi lamtah yoethen ka pae rhoi pawn ni,” a ti nah.
10 (For the eyes of Israel were dimme for age, so that hee coulde not well see) Then he caused them to come to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.
Israel mik khaw kum loh a talh tih a hmuh hamla noeng voel pawh. Te dongah camoe rhoi te a taengla a thoeih pah. Te vaengah amih rhoi te a mok tih a kop.
11 And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph, I had not thought to haue seene thy face: yet lo, God hath shewed me also thy seede.
Te vaengah Israel loh Joseph te, “Nang kah maelhmai hmuh ham pataeng ka thangthui voel pawt dae na ca rhoek khaw Pathen loh kai n'tueng coeng he,” a ti nah.
12 And Ioseph tooke them away from his knees, and did reuerence downe to the ground.
Te phoeiah Joseph loh a napa khuklu dong kah a ca rhoi te a loh tih a tal neh diklai la bakop.
13 Then tooke Ioseph them both, Ephraim in his right hand towarde Israels left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israels right hand, so he brought them vnto him.
Tedae Joseph loh camoe rhoi te a khuen. Isreal kah banvoei benla khueh ham amah kah bantang kut dongah Ephraim, Isreal kah bantang benla a banvoei kut dongah Manasseh a mawt tih thoeih phai.
14 But Israel stretched out his right hand, and layde it on Ephraims head, which was the yonger, and his left hande vpon Manassehs head (directing his handes of purpose) for Manasseh was the elder.
Tedae Israel taengah a pha vaengah a noe Ephraim kah a lu vik te bantang kut a tloeng thil. Manasseh te a caming daeta a kut a cungvaeh tih Manasseh kah lu dongah banvoei kut a tloeng.
15 Also he blessed Ioseph and sayde, The God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Izhak did walke, the God, which hath fed me al my life long vnto this day, blesse thee.
Te phoeiah Joseph te yoethen a paek tih, “A pa rhoek Abraham neh Isaak hmai ah aka caeh puei Pathen, tahae khohnin due ka hingnah boeih neh kai aka dawn Pathen,
16 The Angel, which hath deliuered me from all euill, blesse the children, and let my name be named vpon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Izhak, that they may growe as fish into a multitude in the middes of the earth.
Yoethaenah cungkuem lamkah kai aka tlan puencawn loh camoe rhoi he yoethenpae saeh lamtah, kai ming khaw, a pa Abraham neh Isaak ming khaw amih rhoi dongah phuk thil saeh. Diklai hman ah pungtai rhoi saeh lamtah ping rhoi saeh,” a ti nah.
17 But when Ioseph sawe that his father layde his right hande vpon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he stayed his fathers hand to remooue it from Ephraims head to Manassehs head.
Tedae Ephraim kah a lu ah a napa loh bantang kut a tloeng te Joseph loh a hmuh vaengah a mik lolh tih Ephraim lu dong lamkah Manasseh kah lu dong la thoeih ham a napa kut te a doek pah tih,
18 And Ioseph sayde vnto his father, Not so, my father, for this is the eldest: put thy right hand vpon his head.
Joseph loh a napa la, “A pa tlam moenih, anih caming kah a lu dongah na bantang kut tloeng saw,” a ti nah.
19 But his father refused, and sayd, I know well, my sonne, I know well: he shalbe also a people, and he shalbe great likewise: but his yonger brother shalbe greater then he, and his seede shall be full of nations.
Tedae a napa loh a aal tih, “Ka ca ka ming, anih he pilnam la a om khaw ka ming. Te dongah anih khaw rhoeng ni. Tedae a mana a noe he anih lakah rhoeng vetih a tiingan te namtom hlangping la om ni,” a ti nah.
20 So he blessed them that day, and sayde, In thee Israel shall blesse, and say, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh. and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Tekah khohnin ah amih rhoi te yoethen a paek hatah, “Nang rhang neh Pathen loh Isreal te a yoethen sak saeh, nang he Ephraim neh Manasseh bangla khueh saeh,” a ti nah tih Manasseh hmai ah Ephraim a khueh.
21 Then Israel said vnto Ioseph, Behold, I die, and God shall be with you, and bring you againe vnto the land of your fathers.
Te phoeiah Israel loh Joseph la, “Kai ka duek cakhaw nang taengah Pathen om vetih na pa kho la nang n'khuen bit ni ne.
22 Moreouer, I haue giuen vnto thee one portion aboue thy brethren, which I gate out of the hand of the Amorite by my sworde and by my bowe.
Te dongah kamah loh Amori kut lamkah cunghang palaa neh ka lat khokong pakhat te na manuca rhoek kah a soah nang kan paek thil,” a ti nah.
