Genesis 48

1 Ket napasamak a kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, nga adda maysa a nangibaga kenni Jose, “Kitaem, masakit ti amam.” Isu nga intugotna dagiti dua nga annakna, a da Manases ken Efraim.

And it came to pass after these things, that [one] told Joseph, Behold, thy father [is] sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

2 Idi nabagaan ni Jacob, “Kitaem, simmangpet ni Jose a putotmo a mangsarungkar kenka,” Pimmigsa ni Israel ket nagtugaw iti pagiddaan.

And [one] told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.

3 Kinuna ni Jacob kenni Jose, “Nagparang kaniak ti Dios a Mannakabalin-amin idiay Luz iti daga ti Canaan. Binendisionannak

And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

4 a kinunana kaniak, 'Kitaem, pagbalinenkanto a nabunga, ken paaduenkanto. Pagbalinenkanto a pagtaudan dagiti nasnasion. Itedkonto daytoy a daga kadagiti kaputotam kas agnanayon a sanikuada.’

And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting possession.

5 Ket ita, dagiti dua a putotmo, a naiyanak kenka iti daga ti Egipto sakbay nga immayak kenka iti Egipto, ket kukuak. Kukuakto da Efraim ken Manases, a kas kada Ruben ken Simeon a kukuak metlaeng.

And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, [are] mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

6 Kukuamto dagiti annak a maadda kenka kalpasanda; mailistadanto kadagiti nagan dagiti kakabsatda iti tawidda.

And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, [and] shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

7 Ngem no maipapan kaniak, bayat nga agdaldaliasatak manipud idiay Padan, nagladingitak gapu iti pannakatay ni Raquel iti dalan iti daga ti Canaan, kabayatan nga adayokami pay laeng iti Efrata. Intabonko isuna sadiay iti dalan a mapan ti Efrata (dayta ket Betlehem).”

And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet [there was] but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same [is] Beth-lehem.

8 Idi nakita ni Israel dagiti annak ni Jose, kinunana, “Siasino dagitoy?”

And Israel beheld Joseph’s sons, and said, Who [are] these?

9 Kinuna ni Jose iti amana, “Putotko ida, inted ida ti Dios kaniak ditoy.” Kinuna ni Israel, “Iyegmo ida kaniak, tapno mabendisionak ida.”

And Joseph said unto his father, They [are] my sons, whom God hath given me in this [place]. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.

10 Ita, kumapuyen dagiti mata ni Israel gapu iti kinalakayna, isu a saanen a makakita. Isu nga inyasideg ida ni Jose kenkuana, ket inagkan ken inarakupna ida.

Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, [so that] he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.

11 Kinuna ni Israel kenni Jose, “Saanko a pulos a ninamnama a makitak manen ti rupam, ngem impalubos pay kaniak ti Dios a makitak dagiti annakmo.”

And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.

12 Impan ida ni Jose iti nagbaetan dagiti tumeng ni Israel, ket kalpasanna nagparintumeng nga indumogna ti rupana iti daga.

And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

13 Innala ni Jose dagiti dua, ni Efraim iti makannawanna a makannigid ni Israel, ken ni Manases iti makannigidna a makannawan ni Israel, ket inyasidegna ida kenkuana.

And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought [them] near unto him.

14 Inggaw-at ni Israel ti kannawan nga imana ken impatayna iti ulo ni Efraim, nga inaudi, ken ti kannigid nga imana iti ulo ni Manases. Pinagkurosna dagiti imana, ta ni Manases ti inauna.

And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid [it] upon Ephraim’s head, who [was] the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh [was] the firstborn.

15 Binendisionan ni Israel ni Jose, a kunana, “Ti Dios a nagtultulnogan dagiti ammak a ni Abraham ken ni Isaac, ti Dios a nangay-aywan kaniak inggana ita nga aldaw,

And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,

16 ti anghel a nangsalsalaknib kaniak manipud iti amin a peggad, bendisionanna koma dagitoy nga ubbing. Maipanagan koma ti naganko kadakuada, ken ti nagan dagiti ammak a da Abraham ken Isaac. Umaduda koma iti rabaw ti daga.”

The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

17 Idi nakita ni Jose nga impatay ti amana ti kannawan nga imana iti ulo ni Efraim, saanna a nagustuan daytoy. Innalana ti ima ti amana tapno iyakarna manipud iti ulo ni Efraim ket inturongna iti ulo ni Manases.

And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head unto Manasseh’s head.

18 Kinuna ni Jose iti amana, “Saan a kasta, amak; ta daytoy ti inauna. Ipataymo ti kannawan nga imam iti ulona.”

And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this [is] the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.

19 Nagkedked ti amana a kinunana, “Ammok, anakko, ammok. Agbalinto met isuna nga adu a tattao, ken agbalinto met a natan-ok. Ngem natantan-okto ti inaudi a kabsatna ngem isuna, ken agbalinto nga adu a nasion dagiti kaputotanna.”

And his father refused, and said, I know [it], my son, I know [it: ] he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

20 Binendisionan ida ni Israel iti dayta nga aldaw babaen kadagitoy a sasao, “Iwaragawagto dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti bendision babaen kadagiti naganyo a kunada, “Pagbalinennakayo koma ti Dios a kas kenni Efraim, ken kas kenni Manases'.” Iti kastoy a wagas, pinagbalin ni Israel nga imun-una ni Efraim ngem ni Manases.

And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

21 Kinuna ni Israel kenni Jose, “Kitaem, dandaniakon matay, ngem addanto ti Dios kenka, ket isublinakanto iti daga dagiti amam.

And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

22 Kenka, kas nangatngato ngem kadagiti kakabsatmo, itedko ti naanduyas a bantay nga innalak manipud kadagiti Amorreo babaen iti kampilan ken pana.”

Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
