Genesis 48
1 And it came to pass after these things, that one said to Joseph, Lo! thy father, is sick. So he took his two sons with him, Manasseh 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 one told Jacob, and said—Lo! thy son Joseph, coming in unto thee. So Israel strengthened himself, and sat up on the couch.
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 Then said Jacob unto Joseph, GOD Almighty, appeared unto me in 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 unto me—Behold me! about to make thee fruitful, so will I multiply thee, and give thee to become a multitude of peoples, —so will I give this land to thy seed after thee, as an age-abiding 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 Now, therefore thy two sons who were born to thee in the land of Egypt, before I came in unto thee in Egypt, are mine! Ephraim and Manasseh, like Reuben and Simeon, shall be mine!
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 But thine offspring which thou hast begotten after them, thine own shall they be, —after the name of their brethren, 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 But, as for me, when I came in from Padan, Rachel died by me, in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet there was a stretch of country to come into Ephrath, —so I buried her there in the way to Ephrath, the same, 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 unto his father, My sons, they are, whom God hath given me, in this place. And he said—Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, that I may 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, had become dim from old age, —he could not see, —so he drew them near unto him, and 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 thine own face, had I not thought, —and lo! God hath caused me to see even 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 beside his knees, and bowed himself down with his face towards 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 on Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand, on Israel’s right hand, and drew 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 Then Israel put forth his right hand and laid it upon the head of Ephraim, though, he, was the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh, —crossing his hands, although, Manasseh, 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 Thus blessed he Joseph, and said, —God himself—before whom walked my fathers. Abraham and Isaac, God himself—who hath been my shepherd, since I came into being until 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 Messenger—who hath been my redeemer from all evil—bless the lads! And may there be called upon them, my name, and the name of my fathers. Abraham and Isaac; And may they swarm 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 Joseph saw that his father had laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim and it was displeasing in his eyes, —so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from off the head of Ephraim, on to the head of Manasseh.
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 firstborn, lay 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 become great, —but nevertheless, his younger brother, shall become greater than he, and his seed, shall become a filling up of the 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 on that day, saying—In thee, let Israel bless himself saying, God set thee as Ephraim, and as Manasseh! So he set 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 And Israel said unto Joseph: Lo! I, am about to die, —but it shall come to pass that, God will be with you, and will take you back into 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 But, I, have given to thee one mountain-track above thy brethren, —which I took out of the hand of the Amorite, 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.”
