< Genesis 48 >

1 And it came to pass after these things, that some one said to Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick; and he took his two sons with him, Menasseh and Ephraim.
Eso enoga Ya: igobe da olo madelai ba: i. Amola ilia da Yousefema adoi. Yousefe da egefe aduna amo Ma: na: se amola Ifala: ime, amo Ya: igobema oule asi.
2 And some one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph is coming unto thee; and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
Ya: igobe da Yousefe e ba: la misi sia: nababeba: le, e da ea gasa fili, dia heda: su fafai da: iya wa: le fi.
3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God, the Almighty, appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
Ya: igobe da Yousefema amane sia: i, “Gode Bagadedafa da Luse soge amo ganodini nama misini amola E da na hahawane dogolegele fidima: ne sia: i.
4 And he said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and I will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
E da nama amane sia: i, ‘Na da dima mano bagohame imunu amola digaga lalelegei manolali da fi bagohame hamomu. Amo soge Na da dia mano fifi misi ilima imunu. Ilia da amo soge eso huluane mae fisili gagulalumu.’”
5 And now thy two sons, who were born unto thee in the land of Egypt, before I came unto thee into Egypt, shall be mine; Ephraim and Menasseh shall be unto me as Reuben and Simeon.
Ya: igobe da eno amane sia: i, “Yousefe! Dia gofe aduna amo na da guiguda: mae misini dima lalelegei, amo da na mano. Ifala: ime amola Ma: na: se da Liubene amola Simiane amo defele, na mano gala.
6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, after the name of their brothers shall they be called in their inheritance.
Di da dunu mano eno lalelegesea, ilia da na mano defele hame ba: mu. Ilia nana liligi lamu da Ifala: ime amola Ma: na: se ela fi amoga lamu.
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan on the way, when yet there was some distance to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there on the way of Ephrath, the same is Beth-lechem.
Na da dia ame La: isele amo dawa: beba: le agoane hamosa. Na da Mesoubouda: imia soge fisili, logoga manebeba: le, e da Efala: de moilai gadenene guiguda: Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini bogoi dagoi. E bogobeba: le, na da se bagade nabi. Na da Efala: de ahoasu logo bega: ea da: i hodo uli dogone sali.” (Efala: de ea dio da wali Bedeleheme.)
8 And Israel perceived the sons of Joseph, and said, Who are these?
Ya: igobe da Yousefe egefela ba: beba: le, amane adole ba: i, “Amo goi da nowala: ?”
9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
Yousefe da bu adole i, “Amo da nagofela. Gode da Idibidi soge guiguda: amo ganodini, amo mano nama i dagoi.” Ya: igobe da amane sia: i, “Ela nama oule misa! Na da elama Gode da ela hahawane dogolegele fidima: ne sia: mu.”
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim through age, he could not see; and he brought them near unto him, and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Ya: igobe da da: i hamoiba: le, ea si da wadela: i galu. E da noga: le ba: mu gogolei. Yousefe da amo goi aduna ema oule misini, e da ela ouga: ne nonogoi.
11 And Israel said unto Joseph, To see thy face I had not hoped; and lo, God hath shown me also thy seed.
Ya: igobe da Yousefema amane sia: i, “Na da dia odagi bu hame ba: mu dawa: i galu. Be wali Gode da fidibiba: le, na da di amola dia mano ba: i dagoi.”
12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
Amalalu, Yousefe da ea mano aduna Ya: igobe ea masele da: iya fene esalu amo lale, e da beguduli ea odagi osobo digila sa: i.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left, and Menasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right, and brought them near unto him.
Yousefe da Ifala: ime amo Ya: igobe ea lobo fofadi leloma: ne oule asi amola Ma: na: se amo Ya: igobe ea lobodafa amoga leloma: ne oule asi.
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Menasseh's head; he laid his hands wittingly; although Menasseh was the first-born.
Be Ya: igobe da ea lobo ele gaduli giawale, ea lobodafa amo Ifala: ime (e da fa: no lalelegei mano) ea dialuma da: iya ligisi amola ea lobo fofadi amo magobo mano Ma: na: se ea dialuma da: iya ligisi.
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who fed me from my first being unto this day,
Amalalu, e da Godema E da Yousefe hahawane dogolegele fidima: ne sia: i, amane, “Gode (na ada A: ibalaha: me amola Aisage da Ema hawa: hamosu) E da amo goi aduna hahawane dogolegele fidimu da defea. Gode da mae yolesili musa: amola wahadafa nama bisili logo olelemusa: ahoasu.
16 The angel who redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be called on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
A: igele amo da na mae se nabima: ne gaga: su, e da ela hahawane dogolegele fidimu da defea. Na dio amola na ada A: ibalaha: me amola Aisage elea dio, da amo goi ela fi ganodini dialalalumu da defea. Ilima mano bagohame lalelegemu amola iligaga fi dunu bagohame ba: mu da defea.”
17 And when Joseph saw that his father would lay his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he took hold of his father's hand, to remove it from the head of Ephraim unto the head of Menasseh.
Yousefe da ea ada ea lobodafa amo Ifala: ime ea dialuma da: iya ligisi amo ba: loba, da: i dioi galu. Amaiba: le, e da ea ada lobodafa amo Ifala: ime dialuma fisili Ma: na: se ea dialuma da: iya ligisima: ne, gagui.
18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father; for this is the first-born, put thy right hand upon his head.
E da ea adama amane sia: i, “Agoane hame, ada! Ma: na: se da magobo mano. Dia lobodafa ea dialuma da: iya ligisima.”
19 And his father refused, and said, I know, my son, I know, 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.
Be ea ada da amane hame hamoi. E amane sia: i, “Na gofe! Na dawa: ! Ma: na: se ea lalelegemu fi amola da fi bagade hamomu. Be magobo baligia da ea hou baligimu. Egaga fi lalelegemu da baligili bagade ba: mu.”
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, With thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Menasseh: and so he set Ephraim before Menasseh.
Amaiba: le, amo esoga, Ya: igobe da elama Gode da hahawane dogolegele fidima: ne ilegele sia: i dagoi. E amane sia: i, “Isala: ili dunu da eno dunuma Gode hahawane dogolegele fidima: ne sia: sea, ilia da alia dioba: le sia: mu. Ilia da agoane sia: mu, Gode da dilia hou afadenene, bu Ifala: ime amola Ma: na: se ela hou defele hamomu da defea.” Ya: igobe da agoane Ifala: ime bisili amola Ma: na: se fa: no ilegei.
21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die; but God will be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers
Amalalu, Ya: igobe da Yousefema amane sia: i, “Di da waha ba: sa. Na da bogomu galebe. Be Gode da di mae fisili, dia aowalali amo ilia sogega bu oule masunu.
22 Moreover I have given unto thee one portion above thy brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Emorite with my sword and with my bow.
Siegeme soge ida: iwane gala amo na da A: moulaide dunuma gegesu gobihei bagade amola dadi amoga gegeiba: le, samogene gagulaligi. Amo soge na da diolalalima hame imunu. Na da amo dima fawane imunu.”
