Genesisy 48

1 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nisy nilaza tamin’ i Josefa, hoe: Indro marary ny rainao. Dia nentiny niaraka taminy Manase sy Efraima, zanany mirahalahy.

After these deades tydiges were brought vnto Ioseph: that his father was seke. And he toke with him his ij. sones Manasses and Ephraim.

2 Ary nisy nilaza tamin’ i Jakoba ka nanao hoe: Indro, Josefa zanakao tamy ho etỳ aminao; dia nanatanja-tena Isiraely ka niarina teo ambonin’ ny farafara.

Then was it sayde vnto Iacob: beholde thy sonne Ioseph commeth vnto the. And Israel toke his strength vnto him and satt vp on the bedd

3 Ary hoy Jakoba tamin i Josefa: Andriamanitra Tsitoha efa niseho tamiko tany Lozy any amin’ ny tany Kanana ary nitahy ahy ka nanao tamiko hoe:

and sayde vnto Ioseph: God all mightie appeared vnto me at lus in the lande of Canaan ad blessed me

4 Indro, Izaho hahamaro ny taranakao, dia hampitombo anao sy hanao anao ho firenena maro; dia homeko ny taranakao mandimby anao ity tany ity ho lovany mandrakizay.

and sayde vnto me: beholde I will make the growe and will multiplye the and will make a great nombre of people of the and will geue this lande vnto the and vnto thy seed after ye vnto an euerlastinge possession.

5 Ary ankehitriny, ny zanakao mirahalahy, izay efa naterakao tatỳ amin’ ny tany Egypta, fony tsy mbola tonga tatỳ aminao eto Egypta aho, dia ho ahy ireo: eny, Efraima sy Mariase dia ho ahy, tahaka an’ i Robena sy Simeona.

Now therfore thy. ij. sones Manasses ad Ephraim which were borne vnto the before I came to the in to Egipte shalbe myne: euen as Ruben and Simeo shall they be vnto me.

6 Fa ny zanakao izay haterakao aorian’ izy mirahalahy dia ho anao kosa, ary ny anarany hatao araka ny an’ ny rahalahiny eo amin’ ny zara-taniny.

And the childern which thou getest after them shalbe thyne awne: but shalbe called with the names of their brethern in their enheritaunces.

7 Ary izaho, raha niala tany Mesopotamia aho, dia maty teo anatrehako Rahely tany amin’ ny tany Kanana, tany an-dalana, rehefa kely foana no sisa tsy nahatongavana tao Efrata, ary nandevina azy aho teo amoron’ ny lalana mankany Efrata (Betlehema izany).

And after I came from Mesopotamia Rahel dyed apon my hande in the lande of Canaa by the waye: when I had but a feldes brede to goo vnto Ephrat. And I buried her there in ye waye to Ephrat which is now called Bethlehem.

8 Ary rehefa hitan’ Isiraely ny zanak’ i Josefa, dia hoy izy: Iza moa ireo?

And Israel behelde Iosephes sonnes and sayde: what are these?

9 Ary hoy Josefa tamin-drainy: Zanako ireto, izay nomen’ Andriamanitra ahy tatỳ. Ary hoy izy: Masìna ianao, ento eto amiko izy, dia hotsofiko rano.

And Ioseph sayde vnto his father: they are my sonnes which God hath geuen me here. And he sayde: brynge them to me and let me blesse them.

10 Ary efa pahina ny mason’ Isiraely noho ny fahanterany, ka tsy nahita izy; dia nentin’ i Josefa nanatona azy izy mirahalahy; ary Isiraely nanoroka sy namihina azy.

And the eyes of Israell were dymme for age so that he coude not see. And he broughte them to him ad he kyssed the and embraced them.

11 Dia hoy Isiraely tamin’ i Josefa; Tsy nanampo izay hahita ny tavanao intsony aho; kanjo, indro, Andriamanitra efa nampahita ahy ny zanakao koa aza.

And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: I had not thoughte to haue sene thy face and yet loo God hath shewed it me and also thy seed.

12 Ary Josefa nampiala azy mirahalahy teo anelanelan’ ny lohalik’ Isiraely, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany izy.

And Ioseph toke them awaye from his lappe and they fell on the grounde before him.

13 Dia notantanan’ i Josefa izy mirahalahy: Efraima tamin’ ny ankavanany ho eo amin’ ny ankavian’ Isiraely, ary Manase tamin’ ny ankaviany ho eo amin’ ny ankavanan’ Isiraely, ka nentiny nanatona azy.

Than toke Ioseph them both: Ephraim in his ryghte hande towarde Israels left hande ad Manasses in his left hande towarde Israels ryghte hande and brought them vnto him.

14 Dia nahinjitr’ Isiraely ny tanany ankavanana ka napetrany tamin’ ny lohan’ i Efraima, nefa izy no zandriny, fa ny tànany ankavia kosa teo amin’ ny lohan’ i Manase; fa niniany natao toy izany ny tànany, nefa Manase no lahimatoa.

And Israel stretched out his righte hande and layde it apon Ephraims head which was the yonger and his lyft hade apon Manasses heed crossinge his handes for manasses was the elder.

15 Dia nitso-drano an’ i Josefa izy ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra, Izay nandehanan’ i Abrahama sy Isaka razako teo anatrehany, Andriamanitra, Izay Mpiandry ahy hatrizay niainako ka mandraka androany,

And he blessed Ioseph saynge: God before whome my fathers Abraham and Isaac dyd walke and the God which hath fedd me all my life longe vnto this daye

16 ny Anjely Izay Mpamonjy ahy tamin’ ny loza rehetra: Izy anie hitahy ireto zaza ireto; ary aoka ny anarako sy ny anaran’ i Abrahama sy Isaka raiko no hanononana azy, ary hitombo ho maro dia maro eo amin’ ny tany anie izy.

And the angell which hath delyuered me fro all euyll blesse these laddes: yt they maye be called after my name and after my father Abraham and Isaac and that they maye growe ad multiplie apo the erth.

17 Ary rehefa hitan’ i Josefa fa ny rainy nametraka ny tànany ankavanana teo amin’ ny lohan’ i Efraima, dia tsy sitrany izany; ka noraisiny ny tanan’ ny rainy, mba hampiala azy amin’ ny lohan’ i Efraima ho amin’ ny lohan’ i Manase,

When Ioseph sawe that his father layd his ryghte hande apon the heade of Ephraim it displeased him. And he lifte vpp his fathers hade to haue removed it from Ephraims head vnto Manasses head

18 ka hoy Josefa tamin’ ny rainy: Tsy izao no izy, ry ikaky; fa ity no lahimatoa, ka apetraho eo amin’ ny lohany ny tananao ankavanana.

and sayde vnto his father: Not so my father for this is the eldest. Put thy right hande apon his head.

19 Fa tsy nety ny rainy, fa nanao hoe: Fantatro ihany, anaka, fantatro ihany, izy koa ho tonga firenena, ary izy koa ho lehibe; kanefa ny zandriny ho lehibe noho izy, ary ny taranany ho firenena maro.

And his father wold not but sayde: I knowe it well my sonne I knowe it well. He shalbe also a people ad shalbe great. But of a troth his yonger brother shalbe greatter than he and his seed shall be full of people.

20 Dia nitso-drano azy tamin’ izany andro izany izy ka nanao hoe: Hianao no hitsofan’ ny Isiraely rano hoe: Hataon’ Andriamanitra tahaka an’ i Efraima sy tahaka an’ i Manase anie ianao. Ary Efraima no nataony alohan’ i Manase.

And he blessed them sainge. At the ensample of these the Israelites shall blesse and saye: God make the as Ephraim and as Manasses. Thus sett he Ephraim before Manasses.

21 Ary hoy Isiraely tamin’ i Josefa: Indro, ho faty aho, nefa Andriamanitra homba anareo ka hampody anareo indray ho any amin’ ny tanindrazanareo.

And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: beholde I dye. And god shalbe with you and bringe you agayne vnto the land of youre fathers.

22 Ary izaho manome anao zara-tany iray ho tombon-dahinao amin’ ny rahalahinao, izay nalaiko tamin’ ny sabatro sy ny tsipikako teo an-tànan’ ny Amorita.

Moreouer I geue vnto the a porcyon of lande aboue thy brethern which I gatt out of the handes of the Amorites with my swerde and wyth my bowe.
