Genesis 48
1 After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Tun hitin ahung um phat chomkhat jouin nikhat chu Joseph chu thu asei peh un, “Napa chu alha suh lheh jeng tai; hichun Joseph chu apa kimu pi din achen achate ni Ephraim le Manasseh jong akipui in ahi.
2 Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.
Chuin Jacob chu aseipeh un, “Ven nachapa Joseph chu nangma kom ahin jone,” hichun Jacob atha ahung kido in alupna apat in athou doh in atoutai.
3 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
Hichun Jacob in Joseph chu ahoulimpin, “Pathen hatchungnung in Luz muna Canaan gam'a eiki mupi chun phatthei eiboh e ati.
4 and said to me, ‘Behold, 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 offspring after you for an everlasting possession.’
Chuin aman eihoulim pin “Ven nangma kaga sah ding chule kapun sah ding chu jong le nangma chilhah tamtah'a kasem doh ding nahi; nachi lhah techu Canaan gam hi amaho nei le goudia atonsot a kapeh ding ahitai tin eihou limpi'e.
5 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, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine.
Keima hung lhun masanga Egypt gamsunga nacha teni Manasseh le Ephraim hi keima a hiding ahi; Reuben le Simeon keija ahitobang hi amani jong hi keiya ahi lhon'e.
6 Your offspring, whom you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
Hinlah chapang naosen tu khonunga peng ho vang nangma a hiding ahitai; chule amaho se chu asopi ho goulo min lah aki simtha ding ahi lhon e.
7 As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem).”
Phatkhat lai chun keima Padan- Ram lama kahung kinunglen Rachel chu Canaan gam'a athipa tan keima ho Ephrathah toh kikah gamla thim lheh nalaiyin lung kham tah in Rachel chu Ephratha Jerusalem lampi noiya kahin vuitai.”
8 Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?”
Hichun Jacob in chapang teni chu aven adong kit in “hiche chapang teni hi nangma chate ham ati.”
9 Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” He said, “Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”
Joseph in adonbut in adih e ati, “hiche chate ni hi Pathen in hiche Egypt gamsunga eipeh ahi.” Jacob in adonbut in “Amani chu keima koma hinpui nai uvin phatthei kaboh ding ahi.”
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he couldn’t see well. Joseph brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Jacob chu akum atam phat in amittha jong alhasam lheh jeng tai, Ajeh chu aha muchen joutapoi; hichun Joseph in achateni chu apa kom Jacob naideu in ahin pui in chuin apan amani chu achop in akoiyin ahi.
11 Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”
Israel in Joseph koma aseiyin, “Keiman nangma maichang mu kitdinga hi kana kigin chat lou ahitai, ahin tuhin Pathen in na chate ni jong eimusah tai,” ati.
12 Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
Hichun Joseph in achateni chu apa Israel khup akon in akhin doh in amai tolang angan abohkhup tai.
13 Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand towards Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand towards Israel’s right hand, and brought them near to him.
Joseph chun achate ni chu ani tah lhon in akaiyin, Ephraim chu akhut jet lam in Israel khut veilama chun akai lutpeh-in, chule Manasseh chu Israel khut jetlam a, akhut veilam in akai lut in anilhon chun amapa henga apuiluttai.
14 Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Ahin Israel in Ephraim chu aneojo ahivangin akhut jetlam chu achunga angamtan, chule Manasseh chu apeng masa ahivang in Israel in akhut veilam chu Manasseh chunga angam tan ahi.
15 He blessed Joseph, and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day,
Hichun Jacob in Joseph phatthei aboh in hitin aseiye, “Ka Pathen kapu Abraham kapa Isaac masanga lamkai jingpa ka Pakai kelngoi chinga hung pang jing ka hinkho pumpi tuni geiya eipui hoipa;
16 the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac. Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”
Thil gilou tin chenga kona eina lhatdoh jing vantil chun chapang teni hi phatthei hin boh hen; chule amani chunga hin keima min le kapu Abraham min, kapa Isaac min hung kihedoh jing jeng hen; chujong le amani hi leiset vaipi jalah a mipi atama tam in hung pung lhon hen,” ati.
17 When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.
Ahin Joseph chu alunglhai molheh jeng in apa Isaac in akhut jetlam Ephraim chunga angap jeh chun, ahin Joseph in apa khut chu atuh in ajetlam chu Manasseh chunga angap sah in akhut veilam chu Ephraim chunga angap sah tai.
18 Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.”
“Hepa ahipoi ati amapa joh hi apeng masa ahi bouve, nangma khut jetlam chu Manasseh chung joh ahin ngamtan,” ati.
19 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 offspring will become a multitude of nations.”
Amavang apa Israel anom poi, ka hethem nai chapa keiman Manasseh jong ama chilhah te jong hunglen diu mitamtah hiding ahin anaopa amasanga hung nasa joding ahi, chule ama chilhah ho chu nam tamtah hung hiding ahibouve.
20 He blessed them that day, saying, “Israel will bless in your name, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Hichun Israel in chapang teni chu phatthei aboh in hiche ni chun ama a kona phatthei jouse aboltai; nangma min a Israel in hiche phatthei hi naboh ding ahi, Pa Pathen in nangma hi Ephraim le Manasseh bang in pung jing tahen.
21 Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
Hichun Jacob in Joseph koma aseitai, “Ven keima kathi na ding anaitai, ahin Pathen in phatthei naboh ding, chule Canaan a napu na pate gam'a nanung puikit ding ahi.
22 Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
Na sopite ho kapeh sanga nang ma lentah gam kapeh be ding nahi; chule leiset gam Amorite mite khut a kona kachoh dohsa Shechem molbih khat kapei atin ahi.
