3 Yaƙub ya ce wa Yusuf, “Allah Maɗaukaki ya bayyana gare ni a Luz a ƙasar Kan’ana, a can ya albarkace ni
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Siosefa, “Naʻe hā mai ʻae ʻOtua māfimafi kiate au ʻi Lusa ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo ne tāpuaki au;

“Pea ko eni, ko ho ongo foha ko ʻIfalemi, mo Manase, naʻe fānau kiate koe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he teʻeki ai te u haʻu ki ʻIsipite, ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻakinaua; ʻo hangē ko Lupeni mo Simione, ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinaua.

Pea ko au, ʻi heʻeku haʻu mei Petana, naʻe pekia ʻa Lesieli ʻo ofi kiate au ʻi he hala, ka naʻe toetoe siʻi pe, pea mau hoko ki ʻEfelata pea naʻaku tanu ia ʻi he hala ki ʻEfelata ʻaia ko Petelihema.”
8 Sa’ad da Isra’ila ya ga’ya’yan Yusuf maza, sai ya yi tambaya, “Su wane ne waɗannan?”
Pea naʻe sio ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ongo foha ʻo Siosefa, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai ʻakinaua?”
9 Yusuf ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Su ne’ya’yan da Allah ya ba ni a nan.” Sa’an nan Isra’ila ya ce, “Kawo mini su saboda in albarkace su.”
Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene tamai, “Ko hoku ongo foha ʻakinaua, kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au, ʻi he fonua ni.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻomi ʻakinaua kiate au, pea te u tāpuaki ʻakinaua.”
10 Yanzu fa idanun Isra’ila sun fara rasa ƙarfi saboda tsufa, har ba ya iya gani sosai. Saboda haka Yusuf ya kawo’ya’yansa maza kusa da shi, sai mahaifinsa ya sumbace su ya rungume su.
Pea naʻe kui ʻae mata ʻo ʻIsileli ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene motuʻa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te ne faʻa sio. Pea ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ʻo ofi kiate ia; pea naʻa ne ʻuma kiate kinaua ʻo ne fāʻufua ʻakinaua.
11 Isra’ila ya ce wa Yusuf, “Ban yi tsammani zan ga fuskarka kuma ba, yanzu kuwa Allah ya bar ni in ga’ya’yanka su ma.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosefa, “Naʻe ʻikai te u ʻamanaki ke u mamata ki ho mata; pea vakai, kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ho hako foki.”
12 Sa’an nan Yusuf ya ɗauke su daga gwiwoyin Isra’ila ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.

13 Yusuf ya ɗauke su biyu, Efraim a damansa zuwa hagun Isra’ila, Manasse kuma a hagunsa zuwa hannun daman Isra’ila, ya kuma kawo su kusa da shi.
Pea ʻave ʻakinaua ʻe Siosefa, ko ʻIfalemi ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hanga atu ki he nima toʻohema ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Manase ʻi hono toʻohema ʻo hanga atu ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ke ofi kiate ia.

Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻe ʻIsileli hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hilifaki ia ki he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻaia ko e kimui, mo hono nima toʻohema ki he ʻulu ʻo Manase, ʻo ʻai fakapotopoto pe hono nima; he ko Manase, ko e ʻuluaki ia.
15 Sa’an nan ya albarkaci Yusuf ya ce, “Bari Allah a gaban wanda kakannina Ibrahim da Ishaku suka yi tafiya, Allahn da ya zama makiyayina dukan raina zuwa wannan rana,
Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻa Siosefa ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, ko e ʻOtua naʻa ne fafanga au ʻi heʻeku moʻui kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni,

17 Sa’ad da Yusuf ya ga mahaifinsa yana sa hannun damansa a kan Efraim bai ji daɗi ba; saboda haka ya ɗauke hannun mahaifinsa ya cire shi daga kan Efraim zuwa kan Manasse.
Pea kuo mamata ʻa Siosefa kuo ʻai ʻe heʻene tamai hono nima toʻomataʻu ki he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi, naʻa ne mamahi ai; pea ne hiki ʻae nima ʻo ʻene tamai ke ʻave ia mei he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi ki he ʻulu ʻo Manase.
18 Yusuf ya ce masa, “A’a, mahaifina, wannan shi ne ɗan farin; ka sa hannunka na dama a kansa.”
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene tamai, “Ko ʻeku tamai ke ʻoua naʻa pehē, he ko e ʻuluaki eni: ʻai ho nima toʻomataʻu ki hono ʻulu.”
19 Amma mahaifinsa ya ƙi ya ce, “Na sani, ɗana, na sani. Shi ma zai zama mutane, zai kuma zama mai girma. Duk da haka ɗan’uwansa zai zama mai girma fiye da shi, kuma zuriyarsa za tă zama ƙungiyar al’ummai.”
Pea naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe heʻene tamai, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻilo, ko hoku foha, ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: ʻe hoko ia foki ko e kakai tokolahi, pea ʻe lahi ia foki; ka ko e moʻoni ʻe lahi hono tehina ʻiate ia, pea ʻe hoko hono hako ko e ngaahi puleʻanga lahi.”
20 Ya albarkace su a wannan rana ya ce, “A cikin sunanku Isra’ila zai sa wannan albarka ‘Bari Allah yă sa ku zama kamar Efraim da Manasse.’” Saboda haka ya sa Efraim gaban Manasse.
Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻakinaua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fai tāpuaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻiate koe, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ngaohi koe ʻe he ʻOtua ke tatau mo ʻIfalemi mo Manase:’ pea naʻa ne tuku ʻa ʻIfalemi ki muʻa ʻia Manase.
21 Sa’an nan Isra’ila ya ce wa Yusuf, “Ina gab da mutuwa, amma Allah zai kasance tare da ku
Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosefa, “Vakai teu mate au; ka ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻOtua, pea te ne toe ʻave ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
22 Kuma gare ka, a matsayi wanda yake kan’yan’uwanka, na ba da gonar da na karɓe daga Amoriyawa da takobi da kuma bakana.”
Pea ko eni foki, kuo u foaki kiate koe ʻae potu lahi hake ʻe taha ʻi ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻaia naʻaku maʻu mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻaki ʻa ʻeku heletā, mo ʻeku kaufana.”
