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.
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 someone reported to Jacob, and said, "Look, your son Joseph has come to you." Then Israel strengthened himself and sat up in 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 said to Joseph, "El Shaddai appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,
Jakop ni Joseph koevah, Cathut Athakasaipounge teh Kanaan ram, Luz kho dawk kai koevah a kamnue teh yawhawinae na poe.
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.'
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 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.
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 offspring born to you after them will be yours. But in their inheritance they are to be called after the names of their brothers.
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 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)."
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 Then Israel saw Joseph's sons, and said, "Who are these?"
Hahoi, Isarel ni Joseph e capa roi a khet teh, hetnaw heh apinaw maw telah ati.
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."
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 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.
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 said to Joseph, "I did not expect to see your face, but look, God has let me see your offspring as well."
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 Then Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground.
Joseph ni ahnimouh teh a na pa e phai rahak hoi a la teh a hmalah a tabo sak.
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.
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 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.
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 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,
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 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."
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 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.
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 said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. Put 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 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."
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 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.
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 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.
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 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."
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.
