And Israel behelde Iosephes sonnes and sayde: what are these?
9 Yosef ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, esiawoe nye ŋutsuvi siwo Mawu nam le afii le Egipte.” Israel gblɔ be, “Kplɔ wo te ɖe ŋunye ne mayra wo.”
And Ioseph sayde vnto his father: they are my sonnes which God hath geuen me here. And he sayde: brynge them to me and let me blesse them.
10 Israel ƒe tsitsi na eƒe ŋkuwo tsi afã kple afã, eye megatea ŋu kpɔa nu tututu o. Ale Yosef kplɔ viawo te ɖe eŋu kpokploe. Egbugbɔ nu na wo, eye wòkpla asi kɔ na wo.
And the eyes of Israell were dymme for age so that he coude not see. And he broughte them to him ad he kyssed the and embraced them.
11 Israel gblɔ na Yosef be, “Nyemebu tsã be magakpɔ wò o, ke azɔ Mawu na mekpɔ viwòwo hã.”

12 Tete Yosef ɖe wo ɖa le Israel ƒe atata, eye wòde ta agu, tsyɔ mo anyi.
And Ioseph toke them awaye from his lappe and they fell on the grounde before him.
13 Eye Yosef tsɔ wo ame eveawo; Efraim yi ɖe ɖusime be wòanɔ Israel ƒe miame, eye Manase yi ɖe miame be wòanɔ Israel ƒe ɖusime, eye wòkplɔ wo te ɖe Israel ŋu.
Than toke Ioseph them both: Ephraim in his ryghte hande towarde Israels left hande ad Manasses in his left hande towarde Israels ryghte hande and brought them vnto him.
14 Ke Israel tso ga eƒe abɔwo esime wòdi be yeada yeƒe asiwo ɖe ɖeviawo ƒe tawo dzi. Ale eƒe ɖusi nɔ Efraim, ame si nye ɖevitɔ, eye wònɔ eƒe miame la ƒe ta dzi, eye eƒe miasi nɔ Manase, ame si nye tsitsitɔ, eye wònɔ eƒe ɖusime la ƒe ta dzi.
And Israel stretched out his righte hande and layde it apon Ephraims head which was the yonger and his lyft hade apon Manasses heed crossinge his handes for manasses was the elder.
15 Eyra Yosef kple nya siawo be, “Mawu, fofonye Abraham kple Isak ƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔm le nye agbenɔɣi katã me la nayra ŋutsuvi siawo nukutɔe.
And he blessed Ioseph saynge: God before whome my fathers Abraham and Isaac dyd walke and the God which hath fedd me all my life longe vnto this daye
16 Mawudɔla si ɖem tso xaxa ɖe sia ɖe me la nayra ɖevi siawo, woade bubu nye ŋkɔ ŋu, eye woade bubu fofonye Abraham kple Isak ƒe ŋkɔwo ŋu. Mawu naɖi ne woazu dukɔ gã aɖe.”
And the angell which hath delyuered me fro all euyll blesse these laddes: yt they maye be called after my name and after my father Abraham and Isaac and that they maye growe ad multiplie apo the erth.
17 Ke Yosef tɔtɔ, eye mekpɔ ŋudzedze le ale si fofoa da eƒe nuɖusi ɖe Efraim ƒe ta dzi la ŋu o. Ale wòɖe fofoa ƒe nuɖusi ɖa be yeadae ɖe Manase boŋ tɔ dzi.
When Ioseph sawe that his father layd his ryghte hande apon the heade of Ephraim it displeased him. And he lifte vpp his fathers hade to haue removed it from Ephraims head vnto Manasses head
18 Egblɔ be, “Ao, fofonye, ètsɔ wò nuɖusi da ɖe ame si ƒe ta dzi mele be nàdae ɖo o la! Ame si le afi sia lae nye tsitsitɔ. Da wò nuɖusi ɖe eya boŋ dzi!”
and sayde vnto his father: Not so my father for this is the eldest. Put thy right hande apon his head.
19 Ke fofoa gbe hegblɔ nɛ be, “Vinye, menya nu si wɔm mele. Manase hã azu dukɔ gã aɖe, ke nɔvia suetɔ azu dukɔ gã wu.”
And his father wold not but sayde: I knowe it well my sonne I knowe it well. He shalbe also a people ad shalbe great. But of a troth his yonger brother shalbe greatter than he and his seed shall be full of people.
20 Ale Yakob yra ɖeviawo gbe ma gbe ale: “Israelviwo nayra wo nɔewo agblɔ be, ‘Mawu nana nuwo nadze edzi na wò abe Efraim kple Manase ene!’” Ale wòtsɔ Efraim ɖo tsitsi na Manase.
And he blessed them sainge. At the ensample of these the Israelites shall blesse and saye: God make the as Ephraim and as Manasses. Thus sett he Ephraim before Manasses.
21 Israel gblɔ na Yosef be, “Mele kuku ge kpuie, ke Mawu anɔ kpli wò, eye wòagakplɔ wò ayi Kanaan, fofowòwo ƒe anyigba dzi.
And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: beholde I dye. And god shalbe with you and bringe you agayne vnto the land of youre fathers.
22 Metsɔ Sekemnyigba si metsɔ nye yi kple dati xɔ le Amoritɔwo si la na wò ɖe nɔviwòwo teƒe be wòanye wò gome.”
Moreouer I geue vnto the a porcyon of lande aboue thy brethern which I gatt out of the handes of the Amorites with my swerde and wyth my bowe.
