< Genesis 48 >
1 And it was after the things these and someone said to Joseph there! father your [is] sick and he took [the] two sons his with him Manasseh and Ephraim.
Bangʼ kinde moko Josef nowinjo wach ni wuon mare tuo, kuom mano nokawo yawuote ariyo Manase kod Efraim mondo odhi onene.
2 And someone told to Jacob and he said here! son your Joseph he has come to you and he strengthened himself Israel and he sat on the bed.
Kane Jakobo owinjo wach ni Josef wuode obiro nene, nochukore mobet e kitandane.
3 And he said Jacob to Joseph God Almighty he appeared to me at Luz in [the] land of Canaan and he blessed me.
Jakobo nowacho ne Josef, “Nyasaye Maratego nofwenyorena Luz e piny Kanaan, kendo kanyo ema nogwedha.
4 And he said to me here I [am] about to make fruitful you and I will multiply you and I will make you a company of peoples and I will give the land this to offspring your after you a possession of perpetuity.
Kendo nowachona niya, ‘Abiro miyo inyaa kendo ibed gi nyithindo mangʼeny. Abiro timi oganda mar ji, kendo abiro miyo nyikwayi pinyni mondo obed girkeni manyaka chiengʼ.’
5 And now [the] two sons your who were born to you in [the] land of Egypt until came I to you Egypt towards [belong] to me they Ephraim and Manasseh like Reuben and Simeon they will be[long] to me.
“Eka yawuoti ariyo mane inywolo e piny Misri kane pok abiro iri ka ibiro kwan kaka nyithinda; Efraim kod Manase biro bedo nyithinda mana kaka Reuben kod Simeon.
6 And offspring your whom you have fathered after them to you they will be[long] on [the] name of brothers their they will be called in inheritance their.
Nyithindo ma ibiro nywolo bangʼ-gi ema nobed magi; to kar chamo girkeni, nokwan-gi mana kaka joka Efraim kod Manase.
7 And I - when came I from Paddan she died on me Rachel in [the] land of Canaan on the journey at yet a distance of land to go Ephrathah and I buried her there on [the] journey of Ephrath that [is] Beth-lehem.
Kane aduogo aa Padan, nabuok malich ka Rael minu otho e piny Kanaan kane pok wachopo Efrath. Kuom mano ne aike e bath yo madhi Efrath” (ma tiende ni Bethlehem).
8 And he saw Israel [the] sons of Joseph and he said who? [are] these.
Kane Israel oneno yawuot Josef nopenjo niya, “Magi ngʼa gini?”
9 And he said Joseph to father his [are] sons my they whom he has given to me God in this [place] and he said fetch them please to me so I may bless them.
Josef nowacho ne wuon mare niya, “Gin yawuowi ma Nyasaye osemiya ka.” Eka Israel nowacho niya, “Kelgi ira ka mondo agwedhgi.”
10 And [the] eyes of Israel they were heavy from old age not he was able to see and he brought near them to him and he kissed them and he embraced them.
Koro wenge Israel ne ok nyal neno maber nikech hike noniangʼ. Kuom mano Josef nosudo nyithindo machiegni kendo Israel nokwakogi monyodhogi.
11 And he said Israel to Joseph to see face your not I judged and here! he has shown me God also offspring your.
Israel mowachone Josef niya, “Ne ok apar mar neno wangʼi kendo to koro Nyasaye oseyiena maneno nyaka nyithindi bende.”
12 And he took Joseph them from with knees his and he bowed down to face his [the] ground towards.
Eka Josef nogolo nyithindogo e chong Israel kendo nokulore nyaka e lowo.
13 And he took Joseph [the] two of them Ephraim at right [hand] his from [the] left of Israel and Manasseh at left [hand] his from [the] right of Israel and he brought [them] near to him.
Kendo Josef nomako lwet nyithindo ariyogo, Efraim e bade korachwich kochomo bad Israel koracham, kendo Manase koracham kochomo bad Israel korachwich kendo nokelogi machiegni gi Israel.
14 And he stretched out Israel right [hand] his and he put [it] on [the] head of Ephraim and he [was] the young and left [hand] his on [the] head of Manasseh he laid cross-wise hands his for Manasseh [was] the firstborn.
To Israel norieyo bade ma korachwich moketo ewi Efraim wuowi ma chogo, kendo bade ma koracham ewi Manase kata obedo ni en ema ne en wuowi maduongʼ.
15 And he blessed Joseph and he said God whom they walked about fathers my before him Abraham and Isaac God who shepherded me from duration my until the day this.
Eka nogwedho Josef mowachone niya, “Mad Nyasaye ma wuonena Ibrahim kod Isaka nowuothogo, Nyasaye ma osebedo jakwadh ngimana nyaka ndaloni,
16 The angel who has redeemed me from all harm may he bless the lads and may it be called in them name my and [the] name of fathers my Abraham and Isaac and may they multiply to abundance in [the] midst of the earth.
Malaika ma oseresa e chandruok duto mad gwedh raweregi. Mad nyinga kod nying Ibrahim kwara kod Isaka wuora sik kuomgi, kendo gimedre gibed oganda maduongʼ e piny.”
17 And he saw Joseph that he will put father his [the] hand of right his on [the] head of Ephraim and it was displeasing in view his and he grasped [the] hand of father his to remove it from on [the] head of Ephraim on [the] head of Manasseh.
Kane Josef oneno ka wuon mare keto lwete ma korachwich ewi Efraim ne ok obedo mamor; kuom mano, nogolo lwet wuon-gi ewi Efraim moketo ewi Manase.
18 And he said Joseph to father his not thus O father my for this [is] the firstborn put right [hand] your on head his.
Josef nowachone niya, “Ooyo, wuora ma e wuowi ma kayo: ket lweti ma korachwich e wiye.”
19 And he refused father his and he said I know O son my I know also he he will become a people and also he he will become great and but brother his young he will become great more than him and offspring his it will be [the] fullness of the nations.
To wuon-gi nodagi mowachone niya, “Angʼeyo mano nyathina. Manase bende biro bedo oganda maduongʼ. To kata kamano owadgi matin nobed giduongʼ moloye kendo nyikwaye nobed ogendini mangʼeny.”
20 And he blessed them on the day that saying by you it will bless Israel saying may he make you God like Ephraim and like Manasseh and he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
Nogwedhogi chiengʼno, kendo owachonegi niya, “Ka Israel dwaro gwedho ngʼato to nokonyre gi nyingu kowacho kama, ‘Mad Nyasaye gwedhi kaka osegwedho Efraim kod Manase.’” Kuom mano noketo Efraim obedo maduongʼ ne Manase.
21 And he said Israel to Joseph here! I [am] about to die and he will be God with you and he will bring back you to [the] land of fathers your.
Eka Israel nowacho ne Josef niya, “Koro achiegni tho, to Nyasaye biro bedo kodu kendo nodwoku e piny kwereu.
22 And I I give to you a shoulder one over brothers your which I took from [the] hand of the Amorite[s] by sword my and by bow my.
To in, kendo kaka ngʼama duongʼne owetene, amiyi lowo mane akawo kuom jo-Amor gi ligangla kod atungʼ.”
