< 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.
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 someone reported to Jacob, and said, "Look, your son Joseph has come to you." Then Israel strengthened himself and sat up in 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 to Joseph, "El Shaddai appeared to 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 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.'
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 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.
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 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.
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 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)."
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 Then Israel saw Joseph's sons, 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 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."
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 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.
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 to Joseph, "I did not expect to see your face, but look, God has let me see your offspring as well."
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 Then Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the ground.
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 hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near to 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 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.
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 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,
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 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."
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 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.
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 to his father, "Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. Put your right hand on 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 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."
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 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.
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 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.
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 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."
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.”
