Baada ya muda Yosefu akaambiwa kwamba, “Baba yako ni mgonjwa.” Kwa hiyo akawachukua wanawe wawili Manase na Efraimu, pamoja naye.
2 and to tell to/for Jacob and to say behold son: child your Joseph to come (in): come to(wards) you and to strengthen: strengthen Israel and to dwell upon [the] bed
Yakobo alipoambiwa, “Mwanao Yosefu amekujia kukuona,” Israeli akakusanya nguvu zake, akaketi kitandani.
3 and to say Jacob to(wards) Joseph God Almighty to see: see to(wards) me in/on/with Luz in/on/with land: country/planet Canaan and to bless [obj] me
Yakobo akamwambia Yosefu, “Mungu Mwenyezi alinitokea huko Luzu katika nchi ya Kanaani, huko akanibariki,

naye akaniambia, ‘Nitakufanya ustawi na kuongezeka hesabu yako, nitakufanya kuwa jamii ya mataifa, nami nitakupa nchi hii uimiliki milele wewe na wazao wako baada yako.’

“Sasa basi, wanao wawili waliozaliwa kwako huku Misri kabla sijaja hapa kwako watahesabiwa kuwa ni wangu; Efraimu na Manase watakuwa wangu, kama vile Reubeni na Simeoni walivyo wangu.
6 and relatives your which to beget after them to/for you to be upon name brother: male-sibling their to call: call by in/on/with inheritance their
Lakini watoto utakaowazaa baada yao watakuwa wako. Katika nchi watakayoirithi, watatambuliwa kwa jina la ndugu zao.

Nilipokuwa ninarudi kutoka Padani, katika huzuni yangu Raheli alifariki katika nchi ya Kanaani tulipokuwa tungali tukisafiri, tukiwa karibu kufika Efrathi. Kwa hiyo nilimzika huko, kando ya njia iendayo Efrathi” (yaani Bethlehemu).
8 and to see: see Israel [obj] son: child Joseph and to say who? these
Wakati Israeli alipowaona wana wa Yosefu, akauliza, “Hawa ni nani?”
9 and to say Joseph to(wards) father his son: child my they(masc.) which to give: give to/for me God in/on/with this and to say to take: bring them please to(wards) me and to bless them
Yosefu akamjibu baba yake, “Hawa ni wana ambao Mungu amenipa nikiwa huku.” Ndipo Israeli akasema, “Walete kwangu ili niwabariki.”
10 and eye Israel to honor: dull from old age not be able to/for to see: see and to approach: bring [obj] them to(wards) him and to kiss to/for them and to embrace to/for them
Basi macho ya Israeli yalikuwa hayaoni vizuri kwa sababu ya uzee, naye aliona kwa shida. Kwa hiyo Yosefu akawaleta wanawe karibu na baba yake, Israeli akawabusu na akawakumbatia.
11 and to say Israel to(wards) Joseph to see: see face your not to pray and behold to see: see [obj] me God also [obj] seed: children your
Israeli akamwambia Yosefu, “Kamwe sikutazamia kuuona uso wako tena, lakini sasa Mungu ameniruhusu kuwaona watoto wako pia.”
12 and to come out: send Joseph [obj] them from from with knee his and to bow to/for face his land: soil [to]
Ndipo Yosefu akawaondoa wanawe magotini mwa Israeli naye akasujudu hadi nchi.
13 and to take: take Joseph [obj] two their [obj] Ephraim in/on/with right his from left Israel and [obj] Manasseh in/on/with left his from right Israel and to approach: bring to(wards) him
Yosefu akachukua wale wana wawili, Efraimu kwenye mkono wake wa kuume akimwelekeza kwenye mkono wa kushoto wa Israeli, na Manase katika mkono wake wa kushoto akimwelekeza kwenye mkono wa kuume wa Israeli, akawaleta karibu na babu yao.
14 and to send: reach Israel [obj] right his and to set: put upon head Ephraim and he/she/it [the] little and [obj] left his upon head Manasseh to cross hands [obj] hand his for Manasseh [the] firstborn
Lakini Israeli akaupeleka mkono wake wa kuume, akauweka juu ya kichwa cha Efraimu, ingawa alikuwa ndiye mdogo, na mkono wake wa kushoto akaukatisha, akauweka juu ya kichwa cha Manase, ingawa Manase alikuwa ndiye mzaliwa wa kwanza.
15 and to bless [obj] Joseph and to say [the] God which to go: walk father my to/for face: before his Abraham and Isaac [the] God [the] to pasture [obj] me from still my till [the] day: today [the] this
Ndipo akambariki Yosefu akisema, “Mungu ambaye baba zangu Abrahamu na Isaki walimtii, Mungu ambaye amekuwa mchungaji wa maisha yangu yote mpaka leo hii,
16 [the] messenger: angel [the] to redeem: redeem [obj] me from all bad: evil to bless [obj] [the] youth and to call: call by in/on/with them name my and name father my Abraham and Isaac and to multiply to/for abundance in/on/with entrails: among [the] land: country/planet
Malaika ambaye aliniokoa kutoka madhara yote, yeye na awabariki vijana hawa. Na waitwe kwa jina langu na kwa majina ya baba zangu Abrahamu na Isaki, wao na waongezeke kwa wingi katika dunia.”
17 and to see: see Joseph for to set: put father his hand right his upon head Ephraim and be evil in/on/with eye: appearance his and to grasp hand father his to/for to turn aside: remove [obj] her from upon head Ephraim upon head Manasseh
Yosefu alipoona baba yake akiweka mkono wa kuume juu ya kichwa cha Efraimu, hakupendezwa, kwa hiyo akauchukua mkono wa baba yake kutoka kichwa cha Efraimu na kuuweka juu ya kichwa cha Manase.
18 and to say Joseph to(wards) father his not so father my for this [the] firstborn to set: put right your upon head his
Yosefu akamwambia, “Hapana, baba yangu, huyu ndiye mzaliwa wa kwanza; uweke mkono wako wa kuume juu ya kichwa chake.”
19 and to refuse father his and to say to know son: child my to know also he/she/it to be to/for people and also he/she/it to magnify and but brother: male-sibling his [the] small: young to magnify from him and seed: children his to be fullness [the] nation
Lakini baba yake akakataa, akasema, “Ninajua, mwanangu, ninajua. Yeye pia atakuwa taifa, naye pia atakuwa mkuu. Hata hivyo, ndugu yake mdogo atakuwa mkuu kuliko yeye, nao wazao wake watakuwa kundi la mataifa.”
20 and to bless them in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to/for to say in/on/with you to bless Israel to/for to say to set: make you God like/as Ephraim and like/as Manasseh and to set: put [obj] Ephraim to/for face: before Manasseh
Akawabarikia siku ile na kusema, “Kwa jina lenu Israeli watatamka baraka hii: ‘Mungu na awafanye kama Efraimu na Manase.’” Kwa hiyo akamtanguliza Efraimu mbele ya Manase.
21 and to say Israel to(wards) Joseph behold I to die and to be God with you and to return: again [obj] you to(wards) land: country/planet father your
Ndipo Israeli akamwambia Yosefu, “Mimi ninakaribia kufa, lakini Mungu atakuwa pamoja nanyi, na atawarudisha katika nchi ya baba zenu.
22 and I to give: give to/for you shoulder one upon brother: male-sibling your which to take: take from hand: power [the] Amorite in/on/with sword my and in/on/with bow my
Kwako wewe, kama aliye juu ya ndugu zako, ninakupa sehemu moja zaidi ya ndugu zako, lile eneo nililoteka kwa Waamori kwa upanga wangu na upinde wangu.”
