Genesis 48
1 And it comes to pass, after these things, that [one] says to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick”; and he takes his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Hathnukkhu, Joseph koe, Thai haw, na pa a pataw, telah atipouh awh. A capa Manasseh hoi Ephraim hah a hrawi teh a ceikhai.
2 And [one] declares [it] to Jacob and says, “Behold, your son Joseph is coming to you”; and Israel strengthens himself, and sits on the bed.
Jakop koevah, khenhaw! na capa Joseph nang koe a tho, telah atipouh awh. Hatdawkvah, Jakop teh tha a kâsangue teh ikhun dawk a tahung.
3 And Jacob says to Joseph, “God Almighty has appeared to me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesses me,
Jakop ni Joseph koevah, Cathut Athakasaipounge teh Kanaan ram, Luz kho dawk kai koevah a kamnue teh yawhawinae na poe.
4 and says to me, Behold, I am making you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and given you for an assembly of peoples, and given this land to your seed after you, a continuous possession.
Kai koevah, ca catounnaw moikapap na poe han, na pungdaw sak han, tamihupui lah na sak han, hahoi hete ram heh ka tho hane na ca catounnaw koe râw lah na poe awh han, telah na ti pouh.
5 And now, your two sons, who are born to you in the land of Egypt, before my coming to you to Egypt, they [are] mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon, they are mine;
Na ca roi Izip ram, nang koe ka tho hoehnahlan na khe e haiyah kaie doeh. Manasseh hoi Ephraim heh, Reuben hoi Simeon patetlah kaie lah ao han.
6 and your family which you have begotten after them are yours; by the name of their brothers they are called in their inheritance.
Atu hoi bout na khe e teh namae lah ao han. A coe awh han e râw dawk a hmau roi e min hah a hmawng awh han.
7 And I—in my coming in from Padan-[Aram] Rachel has died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet a distance of land to enter Ephrata, and I bury her there in the way of Ephrata, which [is] Beth-Lehem.”
Hatei, kaie kong dawk, Paddanaram ram hoi ka tho navah, Rachel teh Kanaan ram e lampui dawk, Ephrath kho hoi lam bet ahlanae koe kai teng vah a due teh hawvah Ephrath lam dawk ka pakawp. (Hot teh Bethlehem doeh).
8 And Israel sees the sons of Joseph and says, “Who [are] these?”
Hahoi, Isarel ni Joseph e capa roi a khet teh, hetnaw heh apinaw maw telah ati.
9 And Joseph says to his father, “They [are] my sons, whom God has given to me in this [place]”; and he says, “Please bring them to me, and I bless them.”
Joseph ni a na pa koevah, ahnimouh roi teh ka capa roi doeh, Cathut ni hi vah na poe e roi doeh, telah atipouh. Ahni ni pahren lahoi kai koe thokhai haw, yawhawinae ka poe han, telah ati.
10 And the eyes of Israel have been heavy from age—he is unable to see; and he brings them near to him, and he kisses them and cleaves to them;
Isarel teh a matawng toung dawkvah a mit hah kacailah hmawt thai hoeh toe. Hahoi teh, hnai sak haw, ahni ni a tapam teh a paco.
11 and Israel says to Joseph, “I had not thought [possible] to see your face, and behold, God has also showed me your seed.”
Isarel ni Joseph koevah, Na mei hmu hane boehai ka ngaihawi hoeh ei, Cathut ni na ca catounnaw e mei totouh na hmu sak, telah ati.
12 And Joseph brings them out from between his knees, and bows himself on his face to the earth;
Joseph ni ahnimouh teh a na pa e phai rahak hoi a la teh a hmalah a tabo sak.
13 and Joseph takes them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left, and Manasseh in his left toward Israel’s right, and brings [them] near to him.
Hahoi, Joseph ni kahni touh hoi a ceikhai teh Ephraim aranglae kut hoi Isarel e avoilae kut koe lah a ceikhai. Manasseh hah avoilae kut hoi Isarel e aranglae kut koe lah a ceikhai.
14 And Israel puts out his right hand and places [it] on the head of Ephraim, who [is] the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh; he has guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh [is] the firstborn.
Hahoi, Isarel ni a kut a khingkhai teh aranglae kut hah kanaw e Ephraim e a lû dawk a toung teh avoilae kut hah Manasseh e lû van vah a toung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh camin lah ao.
15 And he blesses Joseph and says, “God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac habitually walked: God who is feeding me from my being to this day:
Hottelah yawhawinae a poe teh kakhekung Abraham hoi Isak hmalah ouk kaawm pouh e Cathut, sahnin totouh ka hringyung thung pueng na kakawkkung Cathut.
16 the Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil blesses the youths, and my name is called on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.”
Hawihoehnae pueng thung hoi na karatangkung kalvantaminaw ni hete camo roi yawhawinae poe naseh, Abraham hoi Isak min teh ahnimouh roi ni sin naseh. Hahoi, talai lungui vah tami moikapap lah pungdaw awh naseh telah ati.
17 And Joseph sees that his father sets his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he supports the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh;
A na pa ni aranglae kut Ephraim e lû dawk a toung e Joseph ni a hmu navah, a lungkuep hoeh dawkvah a na pa e kut Ephraim lû dawk a toung e hah Manasseh e a lû dawk puen hanelah a tawm.
18 and Joseph says to his father, “Not so, my father, for this [is] the firstborn; set your right hand on his head.”
Joseph ni a na pa koevah, Apa hettelah mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, het nahoehmaw a camin. Aranglae na kut a lû dawk na toung hane vaw, telah atipouh.
19 And his father refuses and says, “I have known, my son, I have known; he also becomes a people, and he also is great, and yet, his young brother is greater than he, and his seed is the fullness of the nations”;
Hatei, a na pa ni a ngai hoeh dawk, ka panue ka ca, ka panue. Ahni haiyah miphun telah kaw han e kamcu lah ao vaiteh a lentoe van han. Hatei, a nawngha heh ahni hlakvah hoe a lentoe vaiteh a ca catounnaw haiyah miphun moikapap lah ao awh han, telah ati.
20 and he blesses them in that day, saying, “By you does Israel bless, saying, God set you as Ephraim and as Manasseh”; and he sets Ephraim before Manasseh.
Hatdawkvah, hote hnin dawk yawhawinae a poe teh, nang pawlawk dawk Cathut ni Isarel teh yawhawinae poe naseh, nang teh Ephraim hoi Manasseh patetlah na tat naseh telah atipouh teh, Manasseh hmalah Ephraim ao sak.
21 And Israel says to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, and God has been with you, and has brought you back to the land of your fathers;
Hottelah, Isarel ni Joseph koevah, khenhaw! meimei ka due toe, hat eiteh Cathut teh nang koevah ao vaiteh mintoenaw e ram dawk na hrawi awh han.
22 and I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I have taken out of the hand of the Amorite by my sword and by my bow.”
Hothloilah, na hmaunawnghanaw hane thung hoi ham buet touh, tahloi hoi licung, Amor taminaw e kut dawk ka la e hah na thap pouh, telah ati.
