< 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.
Kutu pacl tok, fwackyang nu sel Joseph lah papa tumal ah mas. Ke ma inge el us wen luo natul ah, Manasseh ac Ephraim, ac som in liyal Jacob.
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.
Ke fwackyang nu sel Jacob lah Joseph wen natul el tuku, Jacob el sang kuiyal nufon ac tukakek muta fin mwe oan kial.
3 And Jacob saith unto Joseph, 'God Almighty hath appeared unto me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesseth me,
Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “God Kulana El tuh sikme nu sik in acn Luz in Canaan ac akinsewowoyeyu.
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.
El fahk nu sik, ‘Nga ac sot tulik puspis nutum, tuh fwil nutum fah orala mutunfacl puspis. Nga fah sang facl se inge nu sin fita nutum tuh in ma lalos nwe tok.’”
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;
Jacob el tafwelana ac fahk, “Joseph, wen luo nutum ma isusla Egypt meet liki nga tuku nu inge, ac ma nutik. Ephraim ac Manasseh ac fah oaoa in wen nutik oapana Reuben ac Simeon.
6 and thy family which thou hast begotten after them are thine; by the name of their brethren they are called in their inheritance.
Fin ac oasr pac wen nutum tokoltal, elos ac fah tia oaoa mu ma nutik. Usru lalos uh elos ac fah eis sel Ephraim ac Manasseh.
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.'
Nga oru ange ke sripal Rachel, nina kiom. Yohk asor luk ke el misa in acn Canaan apkuran nu Ephrath, ke nga tuh folok liki acn Mesopotamia. Nga puknilya we sisken inkanek nu Ephrath.” (Ephrath pa pangpang Bethlehem in pacl inge.)
8 And Israel seeth the sons of Joseph, and saith, 'Who [are] these?'
Ke Jacob el liye wen luo natul Joseph ah, el siyuk, “Su tulik ingan?”
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.'
Ac Joseph el fahk, “Pa inge wen luo nutik ma God El ase nu sik yenu in acn Egypt.” Jacob el fahk, “Usaltalu nu yuruk, nga in akinsewowoyaltalla.”
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;
Mutawauk in ohkla mutal Jacob ke sripen matuoh lal, ac el tia arulana liye wo. Joseph el kolla tulik luo ah nu yorol, ac el kafiseltalma nu yorol ac ngok mutaltal.
11 and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'To see thy face I had not thought, and lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.'
Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Nga tiana nunku mu nga ac sifilpa liye kom, a inge God El oru tuh ngan liye pac tulik nutum uh.”
12 And Joseph bringeth them out from between his knees, and boweth himself on his face to the earth;
Na Joseph el srakla tulik luo ah liki finyepal Jacob, ac pasrla nwe infohk uh ye mutal.
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 el fililya Ephraim ke layen lasa lal Jacob, ac Manasseh ke layen layot.
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.
Tusruktu Jacob el eklalik paol, ac filiya lac paol layot lal fin sifal Ephraim, finne el pa fusr seltal, ac lac paol lasa fin sifal Manasseh, su matu.
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:
Na Jacob el akinsewowoyal Joseph ac fahk, “Lela tuh God, su Abraham ac Isaac papa tumuk tuh kulansap nu se, Elan akinsewowoye tulik luo inge! Lela tuh God, su kolyu nwe misenge, Elan akinsewowoyaltal!
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.'
Lela tuh lipufan se, su moliyula liki ongoiya nukewa, in akinsewowoyaltal. Lela tuh inek ac inel Abraham ac Isaac papa tumuk, in esamyuk ke sripen tulik mukul inge! Lela tuh in pukanten tulik natultal, ac fwilin tulik natulos!”
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;
Joseph el toasrla ke el liye lah papa tumal ah filiya lac paol layot fin sifal Ephraim. Ouinge el sruokya poun papa tumal in srakla liki fin sifal Ephraim nu fin sifal Manasseh.
18 and Joseph saith unto his father, 'Not so, my father, for this [is] the first-born; set thy right hand on his head.'
El fahk nu sin papa tumal ah, “Tia pa ingan, papa. Tulik se ma matu ah pa inge. Likiya lac poum layot fin sifal.”
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;'
Papa tumal ah tia insese kac. El fahk, “Wen nutik, nga etu. Nga etu lah fwilin tulik natul Manasseh ac fah oayapa orala sie mutunfacl lulap. Tusruktu tamulel fusr lal el ac fah yohk lukel, ac fita natul fah orala mutunfacl lulap puspis.”
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.
Ouinge el akinsewowoyaltal ke len sac, ac fahk, “Mwet Israel fah orekmakin inemtal ke elos ac fahk kas in akinsewowoye mwet uh. Elos ac fahk, ‘God Elan akinsewowoye kom oana ke El akinsewowoyal Ephraim ac Manasseh.’” Ke Jacob el oru ouinge uh, el likilya Ephraim meet lukel Manasseh.
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;
Toko Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Oana ke kom akilen uh, nga apkuran in misa, tusruktu God El ac fah wi kom ac El ac fah folokinkomla nu ke facl sin papa matu tomom.
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.'
Nga sot nu sum acn Shechem — acn se ma wo fohk we uh, su nga tuh eisla sin mwet Amor ke mweun luk. Nga tia sang acn we nu sin tamulel wiom.”
