Genesis 48
1 And it came about after these things that someone said to Joseph, "Look, your father is sick." And taking with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, he went to Jacob.
Kutu pacl tok, fwackyang nu sel Joseph lah papa tumal ah mas. Ke ma inge el us wen luo natul ah, Manasseh ac Ephraim, ac som in liyal Jacob.
2 And someone reported to Jacob, and said, "Look, your son Joseph has come to you." Then Israel strengthened himself and sat up in the bed.
Ke fwackyang nu sel Jacob lah Joseph wen natul el tuku, Jacob el sang kuiyal nufon ac tukakek muta fin mwe oan kial.
3 And Jacob said to Joseph, "El Shaddai appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,
Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “God Kulana El tuh sikme nu sik in acn Luz in Canaan ac akinsewowoyeyu.
4 and said to me, 'Look, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.'
El fahk nu sik, ‘Nga ac sot tulik puspis nutum, tuh fwil nutum fah orala mutunfacl puspis. Nga fah sang facl se inge nu sin fita nutum tuh in ma lalos nwe tok.’”
5 And now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.
Jacob el tafwelana ac fahk, “Joseph, wen luo nutum ma isusla Egypt meet liki nga tuku nu inge, ac ma nutik. Ephraim ac Manasseh ac fah oaoa in wen nutik oapana Reuben ac Simeon.
6 And your offspring born to you after them will be yours. But in their inheritance they are to be called after the names of their brothers.
Fin ac oasr pac wen nutum tokoltal, elos ac fah tia oaoa mu ma nutik. Usru lalos uh elos ac fah eis sel Ephraim ac Manasseh.
7 But as for me, when I came from Paddan Aram, Rachel died, in my sorrow, in the land of Canaan on the journey, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath. And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)."
Nga oru ange ke sripal Rachel, nina kiom. Yohk asor luk ke el misa in acn Canaan apkuran nu Ephrath, ke nga tuh folok liki acn Mesopotamia. Nga puknilya we sisken inkanek nu Ephrath.” (Ephrath pa pangpang Bethlehem in pacl inge.)
8 Then Israel saw Joseph's sons, and said, "Who are these?"
Ke Jacob el liye wen luo natul Joseph ah, el siyuk, “Su tulik ingan?”
9 And Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here." And he said, "Please bring them to me, so that I can bless them."
Ac Joseph el fahk, “Pa inge wen luo nutik ma God El ase nu sik yenu in acn Egypt.” Jacob el fahk, “Usaltalu nu yuruk, nga in akinsewowoyaltalla.”
10 Now the eyes of Israel were failing because of his age, so that he couldn't see. Then he brought them near to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.
Mutawauk in ohkla mutal Jacob ke sripen matuoh lal, ac el tia arulana liye wo. Joseph el kolla tulik luo ah nu yorol, ac el kafiseltalma nu yorol ac ngok mutaltal.
11 And Israel said to Joseph, "I did not expect to see your face, but look, God has let me see your offspring as well."
Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Nga tiana nunku mu nga ac sifilpa liye kom, a inge God El oru tuh ngan liye pac tulik nutum uh.”
12 Then Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground.
Na Joseph el srakla tulik luo ah liki finyepal Jacob, ac pasrla nwe infohk uh ye mutal.
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 to him.
Joseph el fililya Ephraim ke layen lasa lal Jacob, ac Manasseh ke layen layot.
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand and placed it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, crossing his hands, although Manasseh was the firstborn.
Tusruktu Jacob el eklalik paol, ac filiya lac paol layot lal fin sifal Ephraim, finne el pa fusr seltal, ac lac paol lasa fin sifal Manasseh, su matu.
15 Then he blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,
Na Jacob el akinsewowoyal Joseph ac fahk, “Lela tuh God, su Abraham ac Isaac papa tumuk tuh kulansap nu se, Elan akinsewowoye tulik luo inge! Lela tuh God, su kolyu nwe misenge, Elan akinsewowoyaltal!
16 the Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys. And may my name be carried on in them, and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. And may they grow into a multitude upon the earth."
Lela tuh lipufan se, su moliyula liki ongoiya nukewa, in akinsewowoyaltal. Lela tuh inek ac inel Abraham ac Isaac papa tumuk, in esamyuk ke sripen tulik mukul inge! Lela tuh in pukanten tulik natultal, ac fwilin tulik natulos!”
17 When Joseph saw that his father placed his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him, and he grasped his father's hand to move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
Joseph el toasrla ke el liye lah papa tumal ah filiya lac paol layot fin sifal Ephraim. Ouinge el sruokya poun papa tumal in srakla liki fin sifal Ephraim nu fin sifal Manasseh.
18 And Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head."
El fahk nu sin papa tumal ah, “Tia pa ingan, papa. Tulik se ma matu ah pa inge. Likiya lac poum layot fin sifal.”
19 But his father refused, and said, "I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a multitude of nations."
Papa tumal ah tia insese kac. El fahk, “Wen nutik, nga etu. Nga etu lah fwilin tulik natul Manasseh ac fah oayapa orala sie mutunfacl lulap. Tusruktu tamulel fusr lal el ac fah yohk lukel, ac fita natul fah orala mutunfacl lulap puspis.”
20 So he blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying, 'God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh.'" Thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
Ouinge el akinsewowoyaltal ke len sac, ac fahk, “Mwet Israel fah orekmakin inemtal ke elos ac fahk kas in akinsewowoye mwet uh. Elos ac fahk, ‘God Elan akinsewowoye kom oana ke El akinsewowoyal Ephraim ac Manasseh.’” Ke Jacob el oru ouinge uh, el likilya Ephraim meet lukel Manasseh.
21 Then Israel said to Joseph, "Look, I am about to die, but God will be with you, and God will bring you back from this land to the land of your fathers.
Toko Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Oana ke kom akilen uh, nga apkuran in misa, tusruktu God El ac fah wi kom ac El ac fah folokinkomla nu ke facl sin papa matu tomom.
22 Moreover, I give to you one portion more than your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow."
Nga sot nu sum acn Shechem — acn se ma wo fohk we uh, su nga tuh eisla sin mwet Amor ke mweun luk. Nga tia sang acn we nu sin tamulel wiom.”
