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.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fakahā ʻe he tokotaha kia Siosefa ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku mahaki hoʻo tamai:” pea naʻa ne ʻave mo ia ʻa hono ongo foha, ko Manase, mo ʻIfalemi.
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.
Pea naʻe tala kia Sēkope, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho foha ko Siosefa kiate koe: pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻe ʻIsileli ia, pea ne nofo hake ʻi he mohenga.”
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:
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Siosefa, “Naʻe hā mai ʻae ʻOtua māfimafi kiate au ʻi Lusa ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo ne tāpuaki au;
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.
ʻo ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Vakai, te u ngaohi koe ke ke monūʻia, mo ke tupu ʻo tokolahi, pea te u fakatupu ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi kakai lahi; pea te u foaki ʻae fonua ni ki ho hako ki mui ʻiate koe, ko e nofoʻanga maʻu ʻo taʻengata.’”
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.
“Pea ko eni, ko ho ongo foha ko ʻIfalemi, mo Manase, naʻe fānau kiate koe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he teʻeki ai te u haʻu ki ʻIsipite, ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻakinaua; ʻo hangē ko Lupeni mo Simione, ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinaua.
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.
Pea ko hoʻo fānau te ke fakatupu kimui ʻiate kinaua, ʻe ʻoʻou ia, pea ʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻi he hingoa ʻo honau kāinga ʻi honau tofiʻa.
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).
Pea ko au, ʻi heʻeku haʻu mei Petana, naʻe pekia ʻa Lesieli ʻo ofi kiate au ʻi he hala, ka naʻe toetoe siʻi pe, pea mau hoko ki ʻEfelata pea naʻaku tanu ia ʻi he hala ki ʻEfelata ʻaia ko Petelihema.”
8 Ary rehefa hitan’ Isiraely ny zanak’ i Josefa, dia hoy izy: Iza moa ireo?
Pea naʻe sio ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ongo foha ʻo Siosefa, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai ʻakinaua?”
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.
Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene tamai, “Ko hoku ongo foha ʻakinaua, kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au, ʻi he fonua ni.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻomi ʻakinaua kiate au, pea te u tāpuaki ʻakinaua.”
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.
Pea naʻe kui ʻae mata ʻo ʻIsileli ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene motuʻa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te ne faʻa sio. Pea ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ʻo ofi kiate ia; pea naʻa ne ʻuma kiate kinaua ʻo ne fāʻufua ʻakinaua.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosefa, “Naʻe ʻikai te u ʻamanaki ke u mamata ki ho mata; pea vakai, kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ho hako foki.”
12 Ary Josefa nampiala azy mirahalahy teo anelanelan’ ny lohalik’ Isiraely, dia niankohoka tamin’ ny tany izy.
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻakinaua ʻe Siosefa mei hono tui, pea ne tulolo ia mo hono mata ki he kelekele.
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.
Pea ʻave ʻakinaua ʻe Siosefa, ko ʻIfalemi ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hanga atu ki he nima toʻohema ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Manase ʻi hono toʻohema ʻo hanga atu ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ke ofi kiate ia.
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.
Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻe ʻIsileli hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hilifaki ia ki he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻaia ko e kimui, mo hono nima toʻohema ki he ʻulu ʻo Manase, ʻo ʻai fakapotopoto pe hono nima; he ko Manase, ko e ʻuluaki ia.
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,
Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻa Siosefa ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, ko e ʻOtua naʻa ne fafanga au ʻi heʻeku moʻui kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni,
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.
Ko e ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ne huhuʻi au mei he kovi kotoa pē, tāpuakiʻi ʻae ongo tama; pea ke ui hoku hingoa kiate kinaua, mo e hingoa ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake; pea tuku ke na tupu ko e kakai tokolahi ʻi māmani.”
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,
Pea kuo mamata ʻa Siosefa kuo ʻai ʻe heʻene tamai hono nima toʻomataʻu ki he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi, naʻa ne mamahi ai; pea ne hiki ʻae nima ʻo ʻene tamai ke ʻave ia mei he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi ki he ʻulu ʻo Manase.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene tamai, “Ko ʻeku tamai ke ʻoua naʻa pehē, he ko e ʻuluaki eni: ʻai ho nima toʻomataʻu ki hono ʻulu.”
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.
Pea naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe heʻene tamai, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻilo, ko hoku foha, ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: ʻe hoko ia foki ko e kakai tokolahi, pea ʻe lahi ia foki; ka ko e moʻoni ʻe lahi hono tehina ʻiate ia, pea ʻe hoko hono hako ko e ngaahi puleʻanga lahi.”
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.
Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻakinaua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fai tāpuaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻiate koe, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ngaohi koe ʻe he ʻOtua ke tatau mo ʻIfalemi mo Manase:’ pea naʻa ne tuku ʻa ʻIfalemi ki muʻa ʻia Manase.
21 Ary hoy Isiraely tamin’ i Josefa: Indro, ho faty aho, nefa Andriamanitra homba anareo ka hampody anareo indray ho any amin’ ny tanindrazanareo.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosefa, “Vakai teu mate au; ka ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻOtua, pea te ne toe ʻave ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.
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.
Pea ko eni foki, kuo u foaki kiate koe ʻae potu lahi hake ʻe taha ʻi ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻaia naʻaku maʻu mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻaki ʻa ʻeku heletā, mo ʻeku kaufana.”
