Kenehi 48
1 Na, i muri i enei mea, ka korerotia ki a Hohepa, Nana, e mate ana tou papa: a ka tango ia i ana tamariki tokorua, i a Manahi raua ko Eparaima, hei hoa mona.
Kwasekusithi emva kwalezizinto kwathiwa kuJosefa: Khangela, uyihlo uyagula. Wasethatha amadodana akhe amabili laye, uManase loEfrayimi.
2 A ka korerotia ki a Hakopa, ka meatia, Na, ko Hohepa, ko tau tama, tenei te haere mai nei ki a koe: na ka whakakaha ake a Iharaira i a ia, a ka noho ki runga i te moenga.
Kwasekubikwa kuJakobe ukuthi: Khangela, indodana yakho uJosefa iyeza kuwe. UIsrayeli waseziqinisa wahlala embhedeni.
3 Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Hohepa, I puta mai te Atua Kaha Rawa ki ahau i Rutu, i te whenua o Kanaana, i manaaki i ahau,
UJakobe wasesithi kuJosefa: UNkulunkulu uSomandla wabonakala kimi eLuzi elizweni leKhanani, wangibusisa,
4 I mea ano ki ahau, Na, ka meinga koe e ahau kia hua, ka whakanui ahau i a koe, ka meinga hoki koe e ahau hei huinga iwi; a ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki ou uri i muri i a koe hei kainga pumau.
wathi kimi: Khangela, ngizakwenza uzale ngikwandise ngikwenze ube yizizwe ezinengi, nginike inzalo yakho emva kwakho lelilizwe, libe yimfuyo elaphakade.
5 Na, ko au tama tokorua, ko Eparaima raua ko Manahi, i whanau nei mau ki te whenua o Ihipa i mua ake o toku taenga mai ki a koe, ki Ihipa, maku ena; ka riro mai raua i ahau, ka pera ano me Reupena raua ko Himiona.
Khathesi-ke, amadodana akho amabili, owawazalelwa elizweni leGibhithe ngingakafiki kuwe eGibhithe, angawami; uEfrayimi loManase njengoRubeni loSimeyoni bazakuba ngabami.
6 A, ko tau whanau e whanau mau i muri i a raua, mau ena; ka huaina ki a ratou te ingoa o o ratou tuakana i to ratou kainga pumau.
Kodwa izizukulwana zakho ozazizala emva kwabo zizakuba ngezakho; ngebizo labafowabo zizabizwa elifeni lazo.
7 Ko ahau hoki, i toku haerenga mai i Parana, ka mate a Rahera ki toku taha, ki te whenua o Kanaana, ki te ara, e takoto mai ana he wahi e haere atu ai ki Eparata: a tanumia ana e ahau ki reira ki te ara ki Eparata, ara ki Peterehema.
Mina-ke, ekusukeni kwami ePadani, uRasheli wafa elami elizweni leKhanani, endleleni, kuselomangwana ukuya eEfrathi, ngasengimngcwaba khona endleleni yeEfrathi, eyiBhethelehema.
8 A ka kite a Iharaira i nga tama a Hohepa, ka mea, Ko wai enei?
UIsrayeli wasebona amadodana kaJosefa wathi: Ngobani laba?
9 A ka mea a Hohepa ki tona papa, Ko aku tama enei i homai e te Atua ki ahau i konei. Ka mea ia, Nekehia mai nei ki ahau, kia manaaki ai ahau i a raua.
UJosefa wasesithi kuyise: Bangamadodana ami, uNkulunkulu anginika wona lapha. Wasesithi: Ake uwalethe kimi ngiwabusise.
10 Na he atarua nga kanohi o Iharaira, na te koroheke hoki, kihai ia i ahei te kite atu. Na ka whakatata ia i a raua ki a ia; a ka kihi ia i a raua, ka wahi hoki i a raua.
Njalo amehlo kaIsrayeli ayefiphele ngenxa yobudala, engelakubona. Wasewasondeza kuye, wawanga, wawagona.
11 Na ka mea a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, Kihai ahau i mea ka kite ahau i tou mata: kua whakakitea mai nei ano hoki e te Atua ou uri ki ahau.
UIsrayeli wasesithi kuJosefa: Ngangingacabanganga ukuthi ngingabona ubuso bakho, kodwa khangela, uNkulunkulu ungibonise lenzalo yakho.
12 Na ka nekehia atu raua e Hohepa i roto i ona turi, a ka piko tona mata ki te whenua.
UJosefa wasewakhupha emadolweni akhe, wakhothama ngobuso bakhe emhlabathini.
13 Na ka puritia raua e Hohepa, a Eparaima e tona ringa matau ki te maui o Iharaira, a Manahi e tona maui ki te matau o Iharaira, a ka whakatata atu ia i a raua ki a ia.
UJosefa wasebathatha bobabili, uEfrayimi ngesandla sakhe sokunene ngakwesokhohlo sikaIsrayeli, loManase ngesandla sakhe sokhohlo ngakwesokunene sikaIsrayeli, wabasondeza kuye.
14 Na ka torona e Iharaira tona ringa matau, a whakatakotoria ana e ia ki runga ki te matenga o Eparaima, ko ia ano hoki te teina, me tona ringa maui hoki ki runga ki te matenga o Manahi, he ata whakatakoto hoki nana i ona ringa, ko Manahi hoki te matamua.
Kodwa uIsrayeli welula isandla sakhe sokunene, wasibeka ekhanda likaEfrayimi, lanxa engomncinyane, lesandla sakhe sokhohlo ekhanda likaManase, eqondisa izandla zakhe esazi, ngoba uManase wayelizibulo.
15 Na ka manaaki ai i a Hohepa, ka mea, Ma te Atua i haereere nei oku matua, a Aperahama raua ko Ihaka i tona aroaro, ma te Atua mana nei ahau i whangai i ahau i ora nei a taea moatia tenei ra,
Wasembusisa uJosefa wathi: UNkulunkulu abahamba phambi kwakhe obaba oAbrahama loIsaka, uNkulunkulu owangondla kusukela ebukhoneni bami kuze kube lamuhla,
16 Ma te anahera nana nei ahau i whakaora i roto i nga he katoa, e manaaki enei tamariki; a kia huaina toku ingoa ki a raua, me te ingoa hoki o oku matua, o Aperahama raua ko Ihaka; a kia tino nui haere raua i waenganui i te whenua.
ingilosi engihlenge kokubi konke, ibusise abafana; njalo ibizo lami libizwe kubo, lebizo labobaba oAbrahama loIsaka; bande babebanengi phakathi komhlaba.
17 A, no te kitenga o Hohepa kua whakatakotoria e tona papa tona matau ki runga ki te matenga o Eparaima, ka kino ki tana titiro: a ka whakarewaina ake e ia te ringa o tona papa, kia nekehia atu e ia i te matenga o Eparaima ki runga ki te matenga o Manahi.
Kwathi uJosefa esebonile ukuthi uyise ubeke isandla sakhe sokunene ekhanda likaEfrayimi, kwaba kubi emehlweni akhe; wasibamba isandla sikayise ukuze asisuse ekhanda likaEfrayimi asise ekhanda likaManase.
18 A ka mea a Hohepa ki tona papa, Kaua e pena, e toku papa; ko te tuakana hoki tenei; whakatakotoria tou matau ki runga ki tona matenga.
UJosefa wasesithi kuyise: Hayi njalo, baba, ngoba lo ulizibulo; beka isandla sakho sokunene ekhanda lakhe.
19 Na ka whakakahore tona papa, ka mea, E mohio ana ahau, e taku tama, e mohio ana ahau: ka whakatupu iwi ano tenei, ka nui ano hoki ia: otiia ka nui atu tona teina i a ia, a ka waiho ona uri hei iwi maha.
Kodwa uyise wala wathi: Ngiyazi, ndodana yami, ngiyazi; laye uzakuba yisizwe, laye uzakuba mkhulu; kanti lanxa kunjalo umfowabo omncinyane uzakuba mkhulu kulaye, lenzalo yakhe izakuba yikugcwala kwezizwe.
20 Na ka manaaki ia i a raua i taua rangi, ka mea, Ko koe ta Iharaira manaakitanga, a ka korerotia, Kia meinga koe e te Atua kia rite ki a Eparaima, kia rite hoki ki a Manahi: na ka maka e ia a Eparaima ki mua i a Manahi.
Wasebabusisa ngalolosuku esithi: Ngawe uIsrayeli uzabusisa, esithi: UNkulunkulu kakumise njengoEfrayimi lanjengoManase. Wasebeka uEfrayimi phambi kukaManase.
21 Na ka mea a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, Ka mate tenei ahau: hei a koutou ia te Atua, mana hoki koutou e whakahoki ki te whenua o o koutou matua.
UIsrayeli wasesithi kuJosefa: Khangela, ngiyafa; kodwa uNkulunkulu uzakuba lani, njalo uzalibuyisela elizweni laboyihlo.
22 Na kotahi te wahi ka hoatu nei e ahau mou, e hira ake ai tou i to ou tuakana, ko taku hoki i tango ai i nga Amori ki taku hoari, ki taku kopere.
Futhi mina ngikunikile isabelo esisodwa okwedlula abafowenu, engasithatha esandleni samaAmori ngenkemba yami langedandili lami.
