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.
After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” 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.
Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.
3 Anante Jekopu'a anage huno Josefena asmi'ne, Tusi'a Hanave'ane Anumzamo Lusi mopare Kenani fore hunamino asomu kea hunenanteno,
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 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 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 your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine.
6 Hanki henkama kasentesana mofavrea kagri mofavre manigahie, zamagra nezmafu zanagire makazana refko hu'za erigahaze.
Your offspring, 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 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).
As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan 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).”
8 Anante Israeli'a Josefe ne'mofavrerarena neznageno anage hune, Ama aza mofavrerarene?
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.
Joseph 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 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 couldn’t see well. Joseph 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.
Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”
12 Anante Josefe'a nefa amoteti mofavre'a rarena neznavreno, avugati mopafi kepri hu'ne.
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.
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.
Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
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.
He blessed Joseph, and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has 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 has 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. Let them grow into a multitude upon the earth.”
17 Hagi Josefema kegeno nefa'ma azan tamagama Efraemi asenire nentegeno muse nosuno, nefa azana Efraemi aseniretira erino Manase asenire ante'ne.
When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up 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.
Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. 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.
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 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!
He blessed them that day, saying, “Israel will bless in your name, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” 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.
Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will 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 you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
