After these deades tydiges were brought vnto Ioseph: that his father was seke. And he toke with him his ij. sones Manasses and Ephraim.
2 Na rĩrĩa Jakubu eerirwo atĩrĩ, “Mũrũguo Jusufu nĩoka gũkuona,” Isiraeli akĩĩyũmĩrĩria, agĩikara thĩ ũrĩrĩ-inĩ.
Then was it sayde vnto Iacob: beholde thy sonne Ioseph commeth vnto the. And Israel toke his strength vnto him and satt vp on the bedd
3 Jakubu akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩanyumĩrĩire ndĩ Luzu bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani, na akĩndathima,
and sayde vnto Ioseph: God all mightie appeared vnto me at lus in the lande of Canaan ad blessed me
4 akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngatũma ũciarane na ũingĩhe. Nĩngagũtua kĩrĩndĩ kĩa andũ, na nĩngaheana bũrũri ũyũ kũrĩ njiaro ciaku iria igooka thuutha waku ũtuĩke wacio tene na tene.’
and sayde vnto me: beholde I will make the growe and will multiplye the and will make a great nombre of people of the and will geue this lande vnto the and vnto thy seed after ye vnto an euerlastinge possession.
5 “Rĩu-rĩ, ariũ aku eerĩ arĩa maaciarĩirwo gũkũ Misiri itanooka kũrĩ we-rĩ, megũtuuo ta marĩ akwa; Efiraimu na Manase meegũtuĩka akwa, o ta ũrĩa Rubeni na Simeoni marĩ akwa.
Now therfore thy. ij. sones Manasses ad Ephraim which were borne vnto the before I came to the in to Egipte shalbe myne: euen as Ruben and Simeo shall they be vnto me.
6 Ciana iria ingĩ ũngĩciarĩrwo thuutha wao nĩ ciaku; kũrĩa makagaya mageetanagio na marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a ithe wao.
And the childern which thou getest after them shalbe thyne awne: but shalbe called with the names of their brethern in their enheritaunces.
7 Na rĩrĩa ndacookaga kuuma Padani, ngĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩeha gĩa gũkuĩrwo nĩ Rakeli kũu bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani tũrĩ o rũgendo-inĩ, hakuhĩ na Efiratha. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmũthika hau mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra ya gũthiĩ Efiratha” (na nokuo Bethilehemu).
And after I came from Mesopotamia Rahel dyed apon my hande in the lande of Canaa by the waye: when I had but a feldes brede to goo vnto Ephrat. And I buried her there in ye waye to Ephrat which is now called Bethlehem.
8 Na rĩrĩa Isiraeli onire ariũ a Jusufu, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩ a?”
And Israel behelde Iosephes sonnes and sayde: what are these?
9 Jusufu akĩĩra ithe atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ariũ akwa arĩa Ngai aaheete ndĩ gũkũ”. Nake Isiraeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mareharehe harĩ niĩ ndĩmarathime.”
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 Na rĩrĩ, maitho ma Isiraeli nĩmoorĩte nĩ gũkũra, na ndoonaga wega. Jusufu agĩkĩrehe ariũ ake hakuhĩ na Isiraeli, nake Jakubu akĩmamumunya na akĩmahĩmbĩria.
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 Isiraeli akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Ndieciragia nĩngona ũthiũ waku rĩngĩ, na rĩu Ngai nĩanjĩtĩkĩrĩtie nyone o na ciana ciaku.”
And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: I had not thoughte to haue sene thy face and yet loo God hath shewed it me and also thy seed.
12 Nake Jusufu akĩmaruta maru-inĩ ma Isiraeli, akĩinamĩrĩria ũthiũ akĩũturumithia thĩ.
And Ioseph toke them awaye from his lappe and they fell on the grounde before him.
13 Jusufu akĩoya ariũ ake eerĩ, Efiraimu arĩ mwena wake wa ũrĩo aamwerekeirie guoko-inĩ kwa ũmotho gwa Isiraeli, na Manase arĩ mwena wake wa ũmotho aamwerekeirie guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo gwa Isiraeli, akĩmarehe hakuhĩ nake.
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 No Isiraeli agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo agĩkũigĩrĩra mũtwe wa Efiraimu, o na gũtuĩka nĩwe warĩ mũnini, na akĩhĩtũkania moko make, akĩigĩrĩra guoko gwake kwa ũmotho mũtwe-inĩ wa Manase, o na gũtuĩka Manase nĩwe warĩ irigithathi.
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 Ningĩ akĩrathima Jusufu, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai ũrĩa maithe makwa Iburahĩmu na Isaaka maatungatagĩra, Ngai ũrĩa ũkoretwo arĩ mũrĩithi wakwa mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wakwa wothe nginya ũmũthĩ,
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 na Mũraika ũrĩa ũũhonoketie kuuma mĩtino-inĩ yothe, arorathima imwana ici. Iroetanagio na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, na ciĩtanagio na marĩĩtwa ma maithe makwa, Iburahĩmu na Isaaka, na maroingĩha mũno gũkũ thĩ.”
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 Na rĩrĩa Jusufu onire atĩ ithe aigĩrĩire guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo mũtwe-inĩ wa Efiraimu-rĩ, ndaakenire; akĩnyiita guoko gwa ithe akweherie kuuma mũtwe-inĩ wa Efiraimu, akũigĩrĩre mũtwe-inĩ wa Manase.
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 Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, baba ũyũ nĩwe irigithathi; mũigĩrĩre guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo mũtwe.”
and sayde vnto his father: Not so my father for this is the eldest. Put thy right hande apon his head.
19 No ithe akĩrega, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjũũĩ ũguo mũrũ wakwa, nĩnjũũĩ. O nake nĩagatuĩka rũrĩrĩ, na nĩakaneneha. No rĩrĩ, mũrũ wa nyina ũrĩa mũnini nĩakaneneha kũmũkĩra, nacio njiaro ciake ituĩke gĩkundi kĩa ndũrĩrĩ.”
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 Akĩmarathima mũthenya ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Isiraeli akaarathimanaga akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩaku akoiga atĩrĩ: ‘Ngai arotũma ũtuĩke o ta Efiraimu na Manase.’” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgweta Efiraimu mbere ya 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 Ningĩ Isiraeli akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkua, no Ngai nĩegũkorwo hamwe na inyuĩ, na nĩakamũcookia bũrũri-inĩ wa maithe manyu.
And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: beholde I dye. And god shalbe with you and bringe you agayne vnto the land of youre fathers.
22 Nawe, ũrĩ ta mwathi wa ariũ a thoguo-rĩ, nĩndakũhe rũgongo rwa bũrũri ũrĩa ndaatunyire Aamori na rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora na ũta wakwa.”
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.
