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.
Pripetilo se je po teh stvareh, da je Jožefu nekdo povedal: »Poglej, tvoj oče je bolan, « in ta je s seboj vzel svoja dva sinova, Manáseja in Efrájima.
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.
In nekdo je Jakobu povedal ter rekel: »Glej, tvoj sin Jožef prihaja k tebi.« Izrael se je okrepil in se usedel na postelji.
3 Then Iaakob sayde vnto Ioseph, God almightie appeared vnto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me.
Jakob je Jožefu rekel: »Bog Vsemogočni se mi je prikazal pri Luzu, v kánaanski deželi, me blagoslovil
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.
in mi rekel: ›Glej, jaz te bom naredil rodovitnega in te namnožil in jaz bom iz tebe naredil množico ljudstev in to deželo bom dal tvojemu semenu za teboj za večno posest.‹
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.
In sedaj, tvoja dva sinova, Efrájim in Manáse, ki sta ti bila rojena v egiptovski deželi, preden sem prišel k tebi v Egipt, sta moja; kakor Ruben in Simeon, bosta moja.
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.
Tvoji potomci pa, ki jih boš zaplodil za njima, bodo tvoji in imenovani bodo po imenu svojih bratov v svoji dediščini.
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.
Kar pa se mene tiče, ko sem prišel iz Padana, je v kánaanski deželi poleg mene umrla Rahela, na poti, ko je bilo le še malo poti, da pride v Efráto. Pokopal sem jo tam, na poti v Efráto; ta isti je Betlehem.«
8 Then Israel beheld Iosephs sonnes and sayd, Whose are these?
Izrael je zagledal Jožefova sinova in rekel: »Kdo sta ta [dva]?«
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:
Jožef je svojemu očetu rekel: »Onadva sta moja sinova, katera mi ju je Bog dal na tem kraju.« Rekel je: »Privedi ju, prosim te, k meni in jaz ju bom blagoslovil.«
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.
Torej, Izraelove oči so bile od starosti zatemnjene, tako da ni mogel videti. In privedel ju je bliže k njemu in on ju je poljubil ter ju objel.
11 And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph, I had not thought to haue seene thy face: yet lo, God hath shewed me also thy seede.
Izrael je Jožefu rekel: »Nisem si mislil, da bom videl tvoj obraz in, glej, Bog mi je pokazal tudi tvoje seme.«
12 And Ioseph tooke them away from his knees, and did reuerence downe to the ground.
Jožef ju je prestavil izmed svojih kolen in se sam, s svojim obrazom, priklonil k zemlji.
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.
Jožef je prijel oba, Efrájima na svojo desnico proti Izraelovi levici in Manáseja na svojo levico proti Izraelovi desnici in ju privedel k njemu.
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.
Izrael je iztegnil svojo desnico in jo položil na Efrájimovo glavo, ki je bil mlajši, svojo levico pa na Manásejevo glavo, premišljeno vodeč svoji roki, kajti Manáse je bil prvorojenec.
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.
Blagoslovil je Jožefa in rekel: »Bog, pred katerim sta hodila moja očeta, Abraham in Izak, Bog, ki me je hranil vse moje dolgo življenje do današnjega dne,
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.
angel, ki me je odkupil od vsega zla, naj blagoslovi dečka. Naj bo moje ime imenovano na njiju in ime mojih očetov, Abrahama in Izaka. Naj zrasteta v množico na sredi zemlje.«
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.
Ko je Jožef videl, da je njegov oče svojo desnico položil na Efrájimovo glavo, ga je to razžalilo in prijel je roko svojega očeta, da jo odmakne z Efrájimove glave na Manásejevo glavo.
18 And Ioseph sayde vnto his father, Not so, my father, for this is the eldest: put thy right hand vpon his head.
Jožef je svojemu očetu rekel: »Ne tako, moj oče, kajti ta je prvorojenec, svojo desnico položi na njegovo glavo.«
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.
Njegov oče pa je odklonil in rekel: »Vem to, moj sin, vem to, tudi on bo postal ljudstvo in tudi on bo velik, toda njegov mlajši brat bo resnično večji kakor on in njegovo seme bo postalo množica narodov.«
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.
Blagoslovil ju je ta dan, rekoč: »V tebi bo Izrael blagoslovljen, rekoč: ›Bog [naj] te naredi kakor Efrájima in kakor Manáseja‹« in Efrájima je postavil pred Manáseja.
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.
Izrael je rekel Jožefu: »Glej, jaz umrem, toda Bog bo z vami in vas bo ponovno privedel v deželo vaših očetov.
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.
Poleg tega sem ti dal en delež nad tvojimi brati, ki sem ga s svojim mečem in s svojim lokom vzel iz roke Amoréjcev.«
