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] told Joseph, Behold, thy father [is] sick: and he took with him his two 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 [one] told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh to thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the 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 Almighty appeared to me at 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 to 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 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, thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt, before I came to thee into Egypt, [are] mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

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

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

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

And Israel beheld 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 to his father, They [are] my sons, whom God hath given me in this [place]. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, and I will 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 were dim for age, [so that] he could not see: ) And he brought them near to him; and he 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 to Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and lo, God hath shown me also thy seed.

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

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

And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand towards Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand towards Israel's right hand, and brought [them] near to 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 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 by design; for 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.

And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God who hath fed me all my life long to 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 hath 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 Hagi Josefema kegeno nefa'ma azan tamagama Efraemi asenire nentegeno muse nosuno, nefa azana Efraemi aseniretira erino Manase asenire ante'ne.

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

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 first-born; put 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 [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 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 that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and 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 to Joseph, Behold, I die; but God shall be with you, and bring you again 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.

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.
