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.

And it came to pass after these things, that one said to Joseph, Lo! thy father, is sick. So he took his two sons with him, 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 one told Jacob, and said—Lo! thy son Joseph, coming in unto thee. So Israel strengthened himself, and sat up on the couch.

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

Then said Jacob unto Joseph, GOD Almighty, appeared unto me in Luz in the land of Canaan, —and blessed me;

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 unto me—Behold me! about to make thee fruitful, so will I multiply thee, and give thee to become a multitude of peoples, —so will I give this land to thy seed after thee, as an age-abiding possession.

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.

Now, therefore thy two sons who were born to thee in the land of Egypt, before I came in unto thee in Egypt, are mine! Ephraim and Manasseh, like Reuben and Simeon, shall be mine!

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

But thine offspring which thou hast begotten after them, thine own shall they be, —after the name of their brethren, shall they be called in their inheritance.

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).

But, as for me, when I came in from Padan, Rachel died by me, in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet there was a stretch of country to come into Ephrath, —so I buried her there in the way to Ephrath, the same, is Bethlehem.

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

Then Israel saw Joseph’s sons, —and 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 unto his father, My sons, they are, whom God hath given me, in this place. And he said—Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, that I may bless them.

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, the eyes of Israel, had become dim from old age, —he could not see, —so he drew them near unto him, and kissed them, and embraced them.

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 unto Joseph, To see thine own face, had I not thought, —and lo! God hath caused me to see even thy seed!

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

And Joseph brought them out from beside his knees, and bowed himself down with his face towards 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.

And Joseph took them both, —Ephraim in his right hand on Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand, on Israel’s right hand, and drew them near unto 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.

Then Israel put forth his right hand and laid it upon the head of Ephraim, though, he, was the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh, —crossing his hands, although, Manasseh, was the first-born.

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.

Thus blessed he Joseph, and said, —God himself—before whom walked my fathers. Abraham and Isaac, God himself—who hath been my shepherd, since I came into being until 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 Messenger—who hath been my redeemer from all evil—bless the lads! And may there be called upon them, my name, and the name of my fathers. Abraham and Isaac; And may they swarm into a multitude, in the midst of the earth!

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

And Joseph saw that his father had laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim and it was displeasing in his eyes, —so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from off the head of Ephraim, on to 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 unto his father—Not so, my father! for, this, is the firstborn, lay thy right hand upon 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.

And his father refused, and said—I know—my son, I know! He also, shall become a people, and he also, shall become great, —but nevertheless, his younger brother, shall become greater than he, and his seed, shall become a filling up of the 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!

And he blessed them on that day, saying—In thee, let Israel bless himself saying, God set thee as Ephraim, and as Manasseh! So he set 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.

And Israel said unto Joseph: Lo! I, am about to die, —but it shall come to pass that, God will be with you, and will take you back into 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.

But, I, have given to thee one mountain-track above thy brethren, —which I took out of the hand of the Amorite, with my sword and with my bow.
