Genesis 48
1 Kutu pacl tok, fwackyang nu sel Joseph lah papa tumal ah mas. Ke ma inge el us wen luo natul ah, Manasseh ac Ephraim, ac som in liyal Jacob.
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 Ke fwackyang nu sel Jacob lah Joseph wen natul el tuku, Jacob el sang kuiyal nufon ac tukakek muta fin mwe oan kial.
And one told Jacob and said, Behold, thy son Joseph is coming to thee. And Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
3 Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “God Kulana El tuh sikme nu sik in acn Luz in Canaan ac akinsewowoyeyu.
And Jacob said to Joseph, The Almighty God appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
4 El fahk nu sik, ‘Nga ac sot tulik puspis nutum, tuh fwil nutum fah orala mutunfacl puspis. Nga fah sang facl se inge nu sin fita nutum tuh in ma lalos nwe tok.’”
and he said to me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of peoples; and will give this land to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting possession.
5 Jacob el tafwelana ac fahk, “Joseph, wen luo nutum ma isusla Egypt meet liki nga tuku nu inge, ac ma nutik. Ephraim ac Manasseh ac fah oaoa in wen nutik oapana Reuben ac Simeon.
And now thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon.
6 Fin ac oasr pac wen nutum tokoltal, elos ac fah tia oaoa mu ma nutik. Usru lalos uh elos ac fah eis sel Ephraim ac Manasseh.
And thy family which thou hast begotten after them shall be thine: they shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
7 Nga oru ange ke sripal Rachel, nina kiom. Yohk asor luk ke el misa in acn Canaan apkuran nu Ephrath, ke nga tuh folok liki acn Mesopotamia. Nga puknilya we sisken inkanek nu Ephrath.” (Ephrath pa pangpang Bethlehem in pacl inge.)
And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was yet a certain distance to come to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem.
8 Ke Jacob el liye wen luo natul Joseph ah, el siyuk, “Su tulik ingan?”
And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
9 Ac Joseph el fahk, “Pa inge wen luo nutik ma God El ase nu sik yenu in acn Egypt.” Jacob el fahk, “Usaltalu nu yuruk, nga in akinsewowoyaltalla.”
And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me here. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, to me, that I may bless them.
10 Mutawauk in ohkla mutal Jacob ke sripen matuoh lal, ac el tia arulana liye wo. Joseph el kolla tulik luo ah nu yorol, ac el kafiseltalma nu yorol ac ngok mutaltal.
But the eyes of Israel were heavy from age: he could not see. And he brought them nearer to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
11 Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Nga tiana nunku mu nga ac sifilpa liye kom, a inge God El oru tuh ngan liye pac tulik nutum uh.”
And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face; and behold, God has let me see also thy seed.
12 Na Joseph el srakla tulik luo ah liki finyepal Jacob, ac pasrla nwe infohk uh ye mutal.
And Joseph brought them out from his knees, and bowed down with his face to the earth.
13 Joseph el fililya Ephraim ke layen lasa lal Jacob, ac Manasseh ke layen layot.
And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought [them] near to him.
14 Tusruktu Jacob el eklalik paol, ac filiya lac paol layot lal fin sifal Ephraim, finne el pa fusr seltal, ac lac paol lasa fin sifal Manasseh, su matu.
But Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid [it] on Ephraim's head — now he was the younger — and his left hand on Manasseh's head; guiding his hands intelligently, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
15 Na Jacob el akinsewowoyal Joseph ac fahk, “Lela tuh God, su Abraham ac Isaac papa tumuk tuh kulansap nu se, Elan akinsewowoye tulik luo inge! Lela tuh God, su kolyu nwe misenge, Elan akinsewowoyaltal!
And he blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God that shepherded me all my life long to this day,
16 Lela tuh lipufan se, su moliyula liki ongoiya nukewa, in akinsewowoyaltal. Lela tuh inek ac inel Abraham ac Isaac papa tumuk, in esamyuk ke sripen tulik mukul inge! Lela tuh in pukanten tulik natultal, ac fwilin tulik natulos!”
the Angel that redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the land!
17 Joseph el toasrla ke el liye lah papa tumal ah filiya lac paol layot fin sifal Ephraim. Ouinge el sruokya poun papa tumal in srakla liki fin sifal Ephraim nu fin sifal Manasseh.
When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
18 El fahk nu sin papa tumal ah, “Tia pa ingan, papa. Tulik se ma matu ah pa inge. Likiya lac poum layot fin sifal.”
And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn: put thy right hand on his head.
19 Papa tumal ah tia insese kac. El fahk, “Wen nutik, nga etu. Nga etu lah fwilin tulik natul Manasseh ac fah oayapa orala sie mutunfacl lulap. Tusruktu tamulel fusr lal el ac fah yohk lukel, ac fita natul fah orala mutunfacl lulap puspis.”
But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know: he also will become a people, and he also will be great; but truly his younger brother will be greater than he; and his seed will become the fulness of nations.
20 Ouinge el akinsewowoyaltal ke len sac, ac fahk, “Mwet Israel fah orekmakin inemtal ke elos ac fahk kas in akinsewowoye mwet uh. Elos ac fahk, ‘God Elan akinsewowoye kom oana ke El akinsewowoyal Ephraim ac Manasseh.’” Ke Jacob el oru ouinge uh, el likilya Ephraim meet lukel Manasseh.
And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee will Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasseh! And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
21 Toko Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Oana ke kom akilen uh, nga apkuran in misa, tusruktu God El ac fah wi kom ac El ac fah folokinkomla nu ke facl sin papa matu tomom.
And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
22 Nga sot nu sum acn Shechem — acn se ma wo fohk we uh, su nga tuh eisla sin mwet Amor ke mweun luk. Nga tia sang acn we nu sin tamulel wiom.”
And I have given to thee one tract [of land] above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
