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.
After these things, someone said to Joseph [May he add], “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh [Causing to forget] and Ephraim [Fruit].
2 Idi nabagaan ni Jacob, “Kitaem, simmangpet ni Jose a putotmo a mangsarungkar kenka,” Pimmigsa ni Israel ket nagtugaw iti pagiddaan.
Someone told Jacob [Supplanter], and said, “Behold, your son Joseph [May he add] comes to you,” and Israel [God prevails] strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.
3 Kinuna ni Jacob kenni Jose, “Nagparang kaniak ti Dios a Mannakabalin-amin idiay Luz iti daga ti Canaan. Binendisionannak
Jacob [Supplanter] said to Joseph [May he add], “El Shaddai [God Almighty] appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan [Humbled], 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 to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your offspring after you 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.
Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery] before I came to you into Egypt [Abode of slavery], are mine; Ephraim [Fruit] and Manasseh [Causing to forget], even as Reuben [See, a son!] and Simeon [Hearing], will be mine.
6 Kukuamto dagiti annak a maadda kenka kalpasanda; mailistadanto kadagiti nagan dagiti kakabsatda iti tawidda.
Your issue, whom you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers 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).”
As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel [Ewe sheep] died by me in the land of Canaan [Humbled] on the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (also called Bethlehem [House of Bread]).”
8 Idi nakita ni Israel dagiti annak ni Jose, kinunana, “Siasino dagitoy?”
Israel [God prevails] saw Joseph [May he add]’s sons, and said, “Whose 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.”
Joseph [May he add] said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” He said, “Please bring them to 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 [God prevails] were dim for age, so that he couldn’t see. He brought them near to 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.”
Israel [God prevails] said to Joseph [May he add], “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”
12 Impan ida ni Jose iti nagbaetan dagiti tumeng ni Israel, ket kalpasanna nagparintumeng nga indumogna ti rupana iti daga.
Joseph [May he add] 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.
Joseph [May he add] took them both, Ephraim [Fruit] in his right hand toward Israel [God prevails]’s left hand, and Manasseh [Causing to forget] in his left hand toward Israel [God prevails]’s right hand, and brought them near to 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.
Israel [God prevails] stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim [Fruit]’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh [Causing to forget]’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh [Causing to forget] 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,
He blessed Joseph [May he add], and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham [Father of a multitude] and Isaac [Laughter] walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to 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 who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads, and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham [Father of a multitude] and Isaac [Laughter]. Let them grow into a multitude upon 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.
When Joseph [May he add] saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim [Fruit], it displeased him. He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim [Fruit]’s head to Manasseh [Causing to forget]’s head.
18 Kinuna ni Jose iti amana, “Saan a kasta, amak; ta daytoy ti inauna. Ipataymo ti kannawan nga imam iti ulona.”
Joseph [May he add] said to his father, “Not so, my father; for this is the firstborn; put your right hand on 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.”
His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will 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.
He blessed them that day, saying, “In you will Israel [God prevails] bless, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim [Fruit] and as Manasseh [Causing to forget]’” He set Ephraim [Fruit] before Manasseh [Causing to forget].
21 Kinuna ni Israel kenni Jose, “Kitaem, dandaniakon matay, ngem addanto ti Dios kenka, ket isublinakanto iti daga dagiti amam.
Israel [God prevails] said to Joseph [May he add], “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to 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 you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers] with my sword and with my bow.”
