Jenesis 48

1 Hagi mago'a kna evutegeno Josefena anage hu'za asmi'naze, Negafa'ma kri eri'nea nanekea antahinano, hu'za Josefe asmi'zageno, Josefe'a tare ne'mofavre'a Manasene, Efraemikizni neznavreno vu'ne.

Now after these things, word came to Joseph that his father was ill: and he took with him his sons Manasseh and Ephraim.

2 Vahe'mo'za Jekopuna ome asami'za, konkeno negamofo Josefe'a kagenaku ne-e, hu'za hazageno Israeli'a hanave enerino otino sipa'are mani'ne.

And when they said to Jacob, Your son Joseph is coming to see you: then Israel, getting all his strength together, had himself lifted up in his bed.

3 Anante Jekopu'a anage huno Josefena asmi'ne, Tusi'a Hanave'ane Anumzamo Lusi mopare Kenani fore hunamino asomu kea hunenanteno,

And Jacob said to Joseph, God, the Ruler of all, came to me in a vision at Luz in the land of Canaan, and gave me his blessing,

4 amanage huno Agra nasmi'ne, Antahio, Nagra hanugeno kagripintira vahera fore hunakare hu'za kumara ante'za nemanisage'za, vahe'mo'za hamprigara osugahaze. Ana nehu'na ana mopa kagehe'mofo zamisuge'za, erisanti hare'za mani vava hugahaze huno nasami'ne.

And said to me, Truly, I will make you fertile and give you increase and will make of you a great family of nations: and I will give this land to your seed after you to be their heritage for ever.

5 Hagi menina kagra tare mofavre znante'nane, Kenani mopare mani'nogenka, kamama Isipi mopare mani'nenka, kase znante'nana mofavrea nagrire, Efraemike Manasekea nagri mofavre manigaha'e. Rubeni'ene Simioni'enema mani'na'ankna hugaha'e.

And now your two sons who came to birth in Egypt before I came to you here, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, in the same way as Reuben and Simeon are.

6 Hanki henkama kasentesana mofavrea kagri mofavre manigahie, zamagra nezmafu zanagire makazana refko hu'za erigahaze.

And any other offspring which you have after them, will be yours, and will be named after their brothers in their heritage.

7 Hagi korapara nagra Padan-Aramuti neogeno, Resoli'a frige'na nasunku hu'na afete Efrata me'nege'na, kantega Kenani mopafi Efrata vu kantega zavi eme nete'na asente'noe (E'i Betlehemie).

And as for me, when I came from Paddan, death overtook Rachel on the way, when we were still some distance from Ephrath; and I put her to rest there on the road to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.

8 Anante Israeli'a Josefe ne'mofavrerarena neznageno anage hune, Ama aza mofavrerarene?

Then Israel, looking at Joseph's sons, said, Who are these?

9 Higeno Josefe'a nefankura anage huno asmi'ne, Zanagra nagri mofavre'rarene Anumzamo'a amafi mani'nogeno nami'ne. Higeno Jekopu'a anage hu'ne, Zanavrenka nagrite egena asomu kea huznantaneno.

And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this land. And he said, Let them come near me, and I will give them a blessing.

10 Hagi Israeli'a hago ozafareno avurga keso'e osu'ne. Ana higeno Josefe'a ne'mofavreararena zanavreno uravao higeno, zananukino antako huzanante'ne.

Now because Israel was old, his eyes were no longer clear, and he was not able to see. So he made them come near to him, and he gave them a kiss, folding them in his arms.

11 Ana huteno Israeli'a anage huno Josefena asmi'ne, Nagra kagrira kvugosafina onkagegahue hu'na nagesa antahi'noanagi, menina Anumzamo'a natrege'na kagri'ene, mofavreka'ararena tamagoe.

And Israel said to Joseph, I had no hope of seeing your face again, but God in his mercy has let me see you and your children.

12 Anante Josefe'a nefa amoteti mofavre'a rarena neznavreno, avugati mopafi kepri hu'ne.

Then Joseph took them from between his knees, and went down on his face to the earth.

13 Ana huteno Josefe'a ana mofavre'ararena zanavreno uravao huteno, tamaga azanura Efraemina avreno, Israelina aza hoga kaziga nemino, hoga kaziga azanura Manasena avreno Israelina azan tamaga kaziga ami'ne.

Then taking Ephraim with his right hand, Joseph put him at Israel's left side, and with his left hand he put Manasseh at Israel's right side, placing them near him.

14 Manase'a nempu'amo mani'neanagi, Israeli'a henka ne'mofo Efraemi asenire tamaga azana, nenteno hoga azana, nempu'amofo asenire anteno, azana anteganti antegma huno zananunte ante'ne.

And Israel, stretching out his right hand, put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands on purpose, for Manasseh was the older.

15 Ana huteno asomu ke Josefena hunenteno amanage hu'ne, korapa'ma nenfa Abrahamu'ene Aisakike Anumzamofo avure vano huna'a kna huno, nagrira Anumzamo mani'zaniafi sipisipi kva nehia kna huno kva hunanteno menina amagnare ehanatie.

And he gave Joseph a blessing, saying, May the God to whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, gave worship, the God who has taken care of me all my life till this day,

16 Havi zampinti naza hu'nea ankeromo, asomura huranantegahie. Nagri nagimo tanagripi me'nigeno, nenfa Abrahamune Aisakikizani zanagimo'enena zanagripina meno vugahie. Hanki zamagra tusi'a vahetami erifore hu'za miko mopafi manigahaze.

The angel who has been my saviour from all evil, send his blessing on these children: and let my name and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, be given to them; and let them become a great nation in the earth.

17 Hagi Josefema kegeno nefa'ma azan tamagama Efraemi asenire nentegeno muse nosuno, nefa azana Efraemi aseniretira erino Manase asenire ante'ne.

Now when Joseph saw that his father had put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it did not seem right to him; and lifting his father's hand he would have put it on the head of Manasseh.

18 Ana nehuno Josefe'a nefana anage huno asmi'ne, Nenfaga e'inahura osunka, amamo kota fore hu'neanki tamaga kazana amamofo asenire anto.

And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the older; put your right hand on his head.

19 Ana hianagi nefa'a i'o nehuno anage hu'ne, Ne'nimoka nagra antahi'noe, Manasempintira rama'a vahe fore nehinkeno, rukazi huno tusi'a vahetami manigahie. Ana hu'neanagi Efraemipintira nefuna agatereno tusi'a vahetami fore huno, miko mopafina rukazi hu'za rankuma ante'za manigahaze.

But his father would not, saying, I am doing it on purpose, my son; he will certainly become a nation and a great one; but his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a great family of nations.

20 Agra ana kna zupa asomu ke huneznanteno anage hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mo'za vahe'ma asomu kema huzmante'nakura anage hu'za hugahaze. Anumzamo'ma Efraemine, Manasekiznima asomu'ma huzanante'neaza huno Anumzamo'a asomura huramantegahie hu'za hugahaze! Nehuno agra Efraemina, Manase avuga avrente'ne!

So he gave them his blessing that day, saying, You will be the sign of blessing in Israel, for they will say, May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh; and he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

21 Ana huteno Israeli'a Josefena anage huno asmi'ne, Kama nago! Nagra hago fri'za huanagi Anumzamo'a tamagrane mani'neno, tamavreno ete tamafahe'i mopare vugahie.

Then Israel said to Joseph, Now my death is near; but God will be with you, guiding you back to the land of your fathers.

22 Hagi masavenke huno tretre hu'nea Sekemu agona mopa bainati kazinknonteti'ene atireti'ene Amori vahera zamahe'na hanare'noa mopagi'na kafuhe'ina ozamigahuanki kagri negamue.

And I have given you more than your brothers, even Shechem as your heritage, which I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow.
