< Genesis 48 >
1 And it cometh to pass, after these things, that [one] saith to Joseph, 'Lo, thy father is sick;' and he taketh his two sons with him, 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 And [one] declareth to Jacob, and saith, 'Lo, thy son Joseph is coming unto thee;' and Israel doth strengthen himself, and sit upon 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 And Jacob saith unto Joseph, 'God Almighty hath appeared unto me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesseth me,
Hichun Jacob in Joseph chu ahoulimpin, “Pathen hatchungnung in Luz muna Canaan gam'a eiki mupi chun phatthei eiboh e ati.
4 and saith unto me, Lo, I am making thee fruitful, and have multiplied thee, and given thee for an assembly of peoples, and given this land to thy seed after thee, a possession age-during.
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 'And now, thy two sons, who are born to thee in the land of Egypt, before my coming unto thee to Egypt, mine they [are]; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon they are 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 and thy family which thou hast begotten after them are thine; by the name of their brethren they are called 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 'And I — in my coming in from Padan-Aram Rachel hath died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet a kibrath of land to enter Ephrata, and I bury her there in the way of Ephrata, which [is] 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 And Israel seeth the sons of Joseph, and saith, 'Who [are] these?'
Hichun Jacob in chapang teni chu aven adong kit in “hiche chapang teni hi nangma chate ham ati.”
9 and Joseph saith unto his father, 'They [are] my sons, whom God hath given to me in this [place];' and he saith, 'Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I 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 And the eyes of Israel have been heavy from age, he is unable to see; and he bringeth them nigh unto him, and he kisseth them, and cleaveth to 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 and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'To see thy face I had not thought, and lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.'
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 And Joseph bringeth them out from between his knees, and boweth himself on his face to the earth;
Hichun Joseph in achateni chu apa Israel khup akon in akhin doh in amai tolang angan abohkhup tai.
13 and Joseph taketh them both, Ephraim in his right hand towards Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left towards Israel's right, and bringeth [them] nigh 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 And Israel putteth out his right hand, and placeth [it] upon the head of Ephraim, who [is] the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh; he hath guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh [is] the first-born.
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 And he blesseth Joseph, and saith, 'God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked habitually: God who is feeding me from my being unto 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 Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil doth bless the youths, and my name is called upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.'
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 And Joseph seeth that his father setteth his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he supporteth the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh;
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 and Joseph saith unto his father, 'Not so, my father, for this [is] the first-born; set thy 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 And his father refuseth, and saith, 'I have known, my son, I have known; he also becometh a people, and he also is great, and yet, his young brother is greater than he, and his seed is the fulness of the 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 and he blesseth them in that day, saying, 'By thee doth Israel bless, saying, God set thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh;' and he setteth 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 And Israel saith unto Joseph, 'Lo, I am dying, and God hath been with you, and hath brought you back unto 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 and I — I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I have taken out of the hand of the Amorite by my sword and by 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.
