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.
Kèk tan apre sa, yo vin fè Jozèf konnen papa l' malad. Jozèf pran Manase ak Efrayim, de pitit gason l' yo, ak li, li ale wè Jakòb.
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.
Yo vin di Jakòb: -Men Jozèf, pitit ou, vin wè ou. Izrayèl ranmase dènye ti rès fòs li te genyen an, li leve chita sou kabann lan.
3 Then Iaakob sayde vnto Ioseph, God almightie appeared vnto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me.
Jakòb di Jozèf: -Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a te parèt devan mwen yon kote yo rele Louz, nan peyi Kanaran. Li beni m'.
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.
Li di m' konsa: M'ap ba ou anpil pitit ak pitit pitit. M'ap fè yo tounen anpil nasyon. Ou wè tè sa a? M'ap bay pitit pitit ou yo li pou li rele yo pa yo pou tout tan.
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.
Bon. De pitit gason ou te fè nan peyi Lejip anvan m' te vin jwenn ou isit la a, se pitit mwen yo pral ye. Wi, Efrayim ak Manase ap pou mwen tankou Woubenn ak Simeyon.
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.
Men, tout pitit ou va fè apre yo, se pitit ou y'ap ye. Y'a pote non gran frè yo pou yo ka jwenn pa yo nan byen m' yo.
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.
Lè m' t'ap tounen soti nan peyi Mezopotami an, Rachèl, manman ou, te mouri nan men mwen. Li mouri sou wout pou ale peyi Kanaran, pa twò lwen lavil Efrata. Mwen antere l' la sou wout Efrata a. Se Efrata sa a yo rele Betleyèm lan tou.
8 Then Israel beheld Iosephs sonnes and sayd, Whose are these?
Lè Izrayèl wè pitit Jozèf yo, li mande: -Ki timoun sa yo?
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:
Jozèf reponn li: -Se pitit gason Bondye te ban mwen antan mwen isit la wi. Izrayèl di li: -Tanpri, fè yo pwoche pi pre m' pou m' ka beni yo.
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.
Izrayèl te fin granmoun, je l' pa t' bon menm. Li pa t' kapab wè ankò. Jozèf fè pitit li yo pwoche bò kote papa l'. Jakòb pran yo, li bo yo, li pase bra l' nan kou yo.
11 And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph, I had not thought to haue seene thy face: yet lo, God hath shewed me also thy seede.
Izrayèl di Jozèf konsa: -Mwen pa t' gen espwa wè figi ou ankò, men Bondye fè m' wè ata pitit ou yo.
12 And Ioseph tooke them away from his knees, and did reuerence downe to the ground.
Jozèf wete timoun yo sou jenou Izrayèl, epi li bese tèt li jouk atè devan papa l'.
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.
Li pran timoun yo, Efrayim nan men dwat li ak Manase nan men gòch li. Konsa, Efrayim vin sou bò gòch Izrayèl, Manase menm sou bò dwat li. Li fè yo pwoche vin jwenn papa l'.
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.
Men, Izrayèl kwaze men l' lè l'ap lonje yo, li mete men dwat li sou tèt Efrayim ki te pi piti a, li mete men gòch li sou tèt Manase ki te pi gran an. Izrayèl te konnen sa l' t'ap fè lè l' te fè sa.
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.
Li beni Jozèf, li di l': -Se pou Bondye zansèt mwen yo, Bondye Abraram ak Izarak te sèvi tout lavi yo a, beni timoun sa yo. Se pou Bondye ki te pran swen mwen depi lè m' te fèt jouk jòdi a beni timoun yo.
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.
Se pou zanj Bondye ki te delivre m' anba tout move pa beni timoun yo. Se pou yo pote non mwen ak non zansèt mwen yo, Abraram ak Izarak. Se pou yo fè anpil pitit pitit, se pou yo peple sou tè a.
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.
Men Jozèf pa t' kontan lè li wè papa l' te mete men dwat li sou tèt Efrayim. Li kenbe men papa l' pou l' wete l' sou tèt Efrayim pou l' mete l' pito sou tèt Manase.
18 And Ioseph sayde vnto his father, Not so, my father, for this is the eldest: put thy right hand vpon his head.
Epi li di papa l': -Se pa konsa, papa. Men pi gran an bò isit. Mete men dwat ou sou tèt li.
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.
Men, papa a derefize. Li di l': -Mwen konnen, pitit mwen, mwen konnen. Manase tout ap vin yon pèp. Li menm tout l'ap grannèg. Men, ti frè l' la pral pi grannèg pase l'. Pitit li yo pral vin anpil nasyon.
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.
Jou sa a, li beni yo, li di: -Nan peyi pitit pitit Izrayèl yo, lè y'ap bay benediksyon, y'a nonmen non nou. y'a mande pou Bondye beni yon moun menm jan li te beni Efrayim ak Manase. Se konsa li te mete Efrayim anvan Manase.
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.
Apre sa, Izrayèl di Jozèf: -Gade. Mwen pral mouri. Men Bondye ap la avèk ou. La fè ou tounen nan peyi zansèt ou yo.
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.
Se pa pou lòt moun nan frè ou yo, se pou ou m'ap kite moso tè Sichèm lan. Se pòsyon tè sa a mwen te pran nan men moun Amori yo anba gwo goumen.
