Genesis 48
1 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, your father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, 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 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, your son Joseph comes unto you: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon 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 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto 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 said unto me, Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people; and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting 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 your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto you in the land of Egypt before I came unto you into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be 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 And your issue, which you brought forth after them, shall be yours, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
Tedae amih rhoi phoeikahna sak na pacaboeina te tah namah ham om saeh lamtah a maya rhoi kah a ming neh a rho te thui thil saeh.
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
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 anihte Bethlehem Epharath long ah pahoi ka up,” a ti nah.
8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
Te phoeiah Israel loh Joseph ca rhoi tea sawt tih, “Amih rhoi he ulae?,” a ti nah.
9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray you, unto me, and I will bless them.
Te dongah Joseph loh a napa te, “Amih rhoi he Pathen loh herhoek ah kai hama 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 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Israel mik khaw kumloh a talh tiha hmuh hamla noeng voel pawh. Te dongah camoe rhoi te a taenglaa thoeih pah. Te vaengah amih rhoi tea mok tiha kop.
11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see your face: and, lo, God has showed me also your seed.
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 Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
Te phoeiah Josephloh a napa khuklu dong kaha ca rhoi tea loh tih a tal neh diklai la bakop.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
Tedae Joseph loh camoe rhoi tea 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 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wisely; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Tedae Israel taengah a pha vaengah a noe Ephraim kah a lu vik te bantang kut a tloeng thil. Manasseh tea caming daeta a kuta cungvaeh tih Manasseh kah lu dongah banvoei kut a tloeng.
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
Te phoeiah Joseph te yoethen a paek tih, “A parhoek Abraham neh Isaak hmai ah aka caeh puei Pathen, tahae khohnin due ka hingnah boeih neh kai aka dawn Pathen,
16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst 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 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
Tedae Ephraim kah a lu ah a napa loh bantang kuta tloeng te Josephloh 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 Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put your right hand upon 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 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
Tedae a napaloh a aal tih, “Ka ca ka ming, anih he pilnam laa om khaw ka ming. Te dongah anih khaw rhoeng ni. Tedae a manaa noe he anih lakah rhoeng vetih a tiingante namtom hlangping la om ni,” a ti nah.
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In you shall Israel bless, saying, God make you 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 tinah tih Manasseh hmai ah Ephraima khueh.
21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto 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 Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
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.
