1 Thuutha-inĩ ũcio Jusufu akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “Thoguo nĩ mũrũaru.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩoya ariũ ake eerĩ, Manase na Efiraimu, agĩthiĩ kũmũrora.

Yei akyiri no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Wʼagya yare.” Enti, Yosef faa ne mmammarima baanu, Efraim ne Manase kaa ne ho kɔsraa no.

2 Na rĩrĩa Jakubu eerirwo atĩrĩ, “Mũrũguo Jusufu nĩoka gũkuona,” Isiraeli akĩĩyũmĩrĩria, agĩikara thĩ ũrĩrĩ-inĩ.

Ɛberɛ a wɔbɔɔ Yakob amaneɛ sɛ, “Wo ba Yosef aba wo nkyɛn rebɛsra wo” no, Yakob miaa nʼani sɔre tenaa ne mpa so maa no akwaaba.

3 Jakubu akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩanyumĩrĩire ndĩ Luzu bũrũri-inĩ wa Kaanani, na akĩndathima,

Ɛnna Yakob ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ me wɔ Lus a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so. Ɛhɔ na ɔhyiraa 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.’

ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Mɛma woawo, ama wʼase afɛe. Mɛma wʼasefoɔ ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ. Mede saa asase yi bɛma wʼasefoɔ sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ afebɔɔ.’

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.

“Ɛno enti, mede wo mma baanu a wɔwoo wɔn maa wo ansa na mereba wo nkyɛn wɔ Misraim asase so ha no bɛka me mma no ho. Efraim ne Manase bɛka me mma ho, sɛdeɛ Ruben ne Simeon yɛ me mma no.

6 Ciana iria ingĩ ũngĩciarĩrwo thuutha wao nĩ ciaku; kũrĩa makagaya mageetanagio na marĩĩtwa ma ariũ a ithe wao.

Mma foforɔ biara a wobɛwo wɔn wɔ Efraim ne Manase akyiri no na wɔbɛyɛ wo dea. Wɔde wɔn bɛka wɔn nuanom no ho wɔ asase a wɔde bɛma wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no so.

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).

Ɛberɛ a mefiri Paddan-Aram reba no, ababaawa Rahel wuu wɔ ɛkwan mu, ma ɛyɛɛ me ya. Na aka akwansini kakra na yɛaduru Efrat. Ɛno enti, mesiee no wɔ Eufrate, a wɔfrɛ no Betlehem no kwankyɛn baabi.”

8 Na rĩrĩa Isiraeli onire ariũ a Jusufu, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Aya nĩ a?”

Ɛberɛ a Israel hunuu Yosef mmammarima no, ɔbisaa sɛ, “Na yeinom yɛ ɛhefoɔ?”

9 Jusufu akĩĩra ithe atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ariũ akwa arĩa Ngai aaheete ndĩ gũkũ”. Nake Isiraeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mareharehe harĩ niĩ ndĩmarathime.”

Yosef buaa nʼagya sɛ, “Wɔyɛ mmammarima a Onyankopɔn de wɔn adom me wɔ ha.” Na Israel kaa sɛ, “Fa wɔn bra mʼanim ha na menhyira wɔn.”

10 Na rĩrĩ, maitho ma Isiraeli nĩmoorĩte nĩ gũkũra, na ndoonaga wega. Jusufu agĩkĩrehe ariũ ake hakuhĩ na Isiraeli, nake Jakubu akĩmamumunya na akĩmahĩmbĩria.

Saa ɛberɛ no, ɛsiane onyini enti, na Israel ani so ayɛ wisiwisi a, ɔnhunu adeɛ papa. Ne saa enti, Yosef de ne mma no kɔɔ ne nkyɛn pɛɛ, ma ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, fefee wɔn ano.

11 Isiraeli akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Ndieciragia nĩngona ũthiũ waku rĩngĩ, na rĩu Ngai nĩanjĩtĩkĩrĩtie nyone o na ciana ciaku.”

Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Manna mannwene sɛ mɛhunu wʼanim bio da, nanso hwɛ deɛ Onyame ayɛ. Wama me ho kwan ama mahunu wo mma nso.”

12 Nake Jusufu akĩmaruta maru-inĩ ma Isiraeli, akĩinamĩrĩria ũthiũ akĩũturumithia thĩ.

Yosef pagyaa wɔn firii Israel kotodwe anim, ɛnna ɔno ara nso buu nkotodwe de nʼanim butuu fam.

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.

Ɔpagyaa ne mu no, ɔde ne nsa nifa sɔɔ Efraim mu, de no gyinaa Yakob benkum so, ɛnna ɔde ne nsa benkum sɔɔ Manase mu, de no gyinaa Yakob nifa so bɛn no pɛɛ.

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.

Israel tenee ne nsa nifa de too Efraim a ɔyɛ akumaa no apampam, ɛnna ɔde ne nsa benkum no too Manase nso apampam. Ɛwom sɛ na Manase yɛ abakan deɛ, nanso ɔde ne nsa benkum na ɛtoo nʼapampam.

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,

Ɔhyiraa Yosef sɛ, “Onyankopɔn a mʼagyanom Abraham ne Isak nantee nʼanim, ne me Onyankopɔn a ɔhwɛɛ me sɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ de bɛsi ɛnnɛ no,

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.”

ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔgyee me firii ɔhaw nyinaa mu no, ɔnhyira saa mmarimaa yi. Wɔmfa me din ne mʼagyanom, Abraham ne Isak edin ntoto wɔn, na wɔn ase mfɛe wɔ asase so.”

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.

Ɛberɛ a Yosef hunuu sɛ nʼagya de ne nsa nifa ato Efraim apampam no, anyɛ no dɛ. Enti, ɔyii nʼagya nsa nifa no firii Efraim apampam, kɔtoo Manase apampam.

18 Jusufu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Aca, baba ũyũ nĩwe irigithathi; mũigĩrĩre guoko gwaku kwa ũrĩo mũtwe.”

Yosef ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya sɛ, “Dabi, mʼagya, yei ne mʼabakan, enti fa wo nsa nifa to nʼapampam.”

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.”

Nanso, nʼagya ampene so kaa sɛ, “Me ba, menim saa. Ɔno nso bɛyɛ ɔman, na wayɛ kɛse. Nanso, ne nua kumaa no bɛyɛ kɛse asene no, na nʼasefoɔ bɛyɛ amanaman bebree.”

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.

Enti ɛda no, Yakob hyiraa mmarimaa no sɛ, “Israelfoɔ nyinaa nam mo din so bɛhyirahyira wɔn ho wɔn ho. Wɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn bɛhyirahyira mo, ama moakɔ so frɔmfrɔm te sɛ Efraim ne Manase.’” Saa ɛkwan yi so na Yakob fa maa Efraim bɛdii Manase anim.

21 Ningĩ Isiraeli akĩĩra Jusufu atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũkua, no Ngai nĩegũkorwo hamwe na inyuĩ, na nĩakamũcookia bũrũri-inĩ wa maithe manyu.

Na Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Merebɛwu, nanso Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ mo so, na wasane de mo akɔ Kanaan, mo agyanom asase so bio.

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.”

Wo a seesei woabɛyɛ wo nuanom nyinaa so panin no, mede asase a menam me sekan ne mʼagyan so gye firii Amorifoɔ nkyɛn no rema wo.”
