< UGenesisi 48 >
1 Emva kwesikhatshana uJosefa wabikelwa ukuthi, “Uyihlo uyagula.” Ngakho wathatha amadodana akhe womabili, uManase lo-Efrayimi wahamba lawo.
Hathnukkhu, Joseph koe, Thai haw, na pa a pataw, telah atipouh awh. A capa Manasseh hoi Ephraim hah a hrawi teh a ceikhai.
2 UJakhobe esetsheliwe kwathiwa, “Indodana yakho uJosefa isifikile kuwe,” u-Israyeli wazibamba ngamandla wavuka embhedeni.
Jakop koevah, khenhaw! na capa Joseph nang koe a tho, telah atipouh awh. Hatdawkvah, Jakop teh tha a kâsangue teh ikhun dawk a tahung.
3 UJakhobe wathi kuJosefa, “UNkulunkulu uSomandla wabonakala kimi eLuzi elizweni laseKhenani, khonapho wangibusisa.
Jakop ni Joseph koevah, Cathut Athakasaipounge teh Kanaan ram, Luz kho dawk kai koevah a kamnue teh yawhawinae na poe.
4 Wathi kimi, ‘Ngizakwenza ube lenzalo enengi kakhulu. Ngizalenza libe yisizwe sabantu, njalo ngizakupha izizukulwane zakho lelilizwe libe yilifa lazo elingapheliyo ngemva kwakho.’
Kai koevah, ca catounnaw moikapap na poe han, na pungdaw sak han, tamihupui lah na sak han, hahoi hete ram heh ka tho hane na ca catounnaw koe râw lah na poe awh han, telah na ti pouh.
5 Zwana-ke, amadodana akho amabili owawazalela eGibhithe ngingakabuyi lapha kuwe azathathwa njengawami; u-Efrayimi loManase bazakuba ngabami, kanjengoba uRubheni loSimiyoni bengabami.
Na ca roi Izip ram, nang koe ka tho hoehnahlan na khe e haiyah kaie doeh. Manasseh hoi Ephraim heh, Reuben hoi Simeon patetlah kaie lah ao han.
6 Labobantwana abazelwe ngemva kwabo bazakuba ngabakho; kulesosigodi esizakuba yilifa labo bazabhaliswa ngaphansi kwamabizo abanewabo.
Atu hoi bout na khe e teh namae lah ao han. A coe awh han e râw dawk a hmau roi e min hah a hmawng awh han.
7 Ngathi ngibuya ngivela ePhadani, ngehlelwa lusizi ngafelwa nguRasheli elizweni laseKhenani silokhu sisendleleni, bucwadlana kwe-Efrathi. Ngamngcwaba khonapho eceleni kwendlela eya e-Efrathi” (kutsho eBhethilehema).
Hatei, kaie kong dawk, Paddanaram ram hoi ka tho navah, Rachel teh Kanaan ram e lampui dawk, Ephrath kho hoi lam bet ahlanae koe kai teng vah a due teh hawvah Ephrath lam dawk ka pakawp. (Hot teh Bethlehem doeh).
8 U-Israyeli wathi ngokubona amadodana kaJosefa wabuza wathi, “Ngobani laba?”
Hahoi, Isarel ni Joseph e capa roi a khet teh, hetnaw heh apinaw maw telah ati.
9 UJosefa wathi kuyise, “Ngamadodana uNkulunkulu anginike wona lapha.” U-Israyeli wasesithi, “Balethe kimi ukuze ngibabusise.”
Joseph ni a na pa koevah, ahnimouh roi teh ka capa roi doeh, Cathut ni hi vah na poe e roi doeh, telah atipouh. Ahni ni pahren lahoi kai koe thokhai haw, yawhawinae ka poe han, telah ati.
10 Ngalesosikhathi amehlo ka-Israyeli ayesefiphala ngenxa yokuluphala, engasabonisisi. Ngakho uJosefa wasondeza amadodana akhe kuye, uyise wawanga wawagona.
Isarel teh a matawng toung dawkvah a mit hah kacailah hmawt thai hoeh toe. Hahoi teh, hnai sak haw, ahni ni a tapam teh a paco.
11 U-Israyeli wathi kuJosefa, “Ngangingathembi ukuthi ngizaphinda ngibubone ubuso bakho njalo, ikanti manje uNkulunkulu usengivumele ukubona labantwabakho labo.”
Isarel ni Joseph koevah, Na mei hmu hane boehai ka ngaihawi hoeh ei, Cathut ni na ca catounnaw e mei totouh na hmu sak, telah ati.
12 UJosefa wasebasusa emadolweni ka-Israyeli wakhothamela phansi ngobuso.
Joseph ni ahnimouh teh a na pa e phai rahak hoi a la teh a hmalah a tabo sak.
13 UJosefa wasebathatha bobabili, u-Efrayimi kwesokunene sakhe eqondane lesokhohlo sika-Israyeli, kwathi uManase waba ngakwesokhohlo waqondana lesokunene sika-Israyeli, wabasondeza kuye.
Hahoi, Joseph ni kahni touh hoi a ceikhai teh Ephraim aranglae kut hoi Isarel e avoilae kut koe lah a ceikhai. Manasseh hah avoilae kut hoi Isarel e aranglae kut koe lah a ceikhai.
14 Kodwa u-Israyeli welula isandla sakhe sokunene wasibeka ekhanda lika-Efrayimi, loba nje yena wayengomncinyane, wasenqumisa izingalo zakhe zaphambana, wabeka isandla sakhe sokhohlo ekhanda likaManase, loba nje uManase wayelizibulo.
Hahoi, Isarel ni a kut a khingkhai teh aranglae kut hah kanaw e Ephraim e a lû dawk a toung teh avoilae kut hah Manasseh e lû van vah a toung. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni teh camin lah ao.
15 Ngakho wasebusisa uJosefa wathi, “Sengathi uNkulunkulu wabokhokho bami, u-Abhrahama lo-Isaka, abahamba phambi kwakhe, uNkulunkulu obengumelusi wami ukuphila kwami konke kuze kube namuhla,
Hottelah yawhawinae a poe teh kakhekung Abraham hoi Isak hmalah ouk kaawm pouh e Cathut, sahnin totouh ka hringyung thung pueng na kakawkkung Cathut.
16 iNgilosi engihlengileyo kuzozonke izingozi, sengathi angabusisa abafana laba. Sengathi bangabizwa ngebizo lami langamabizo abobabamkhulu u-Abhrahama lo-Isaka, njalo sengathi banganda kakhulu emhlabeni.”
Hawihoehnae pueng thung hoi na karatangkung kalvantaminaw ni hete camo roi yawhawinae poe naseh, Abraham hoi Isak min teh ahnimouh roi ni sin naseh. Hahoi, talai lungui vah tami moikapap lah pungdaw awh naseh telah ati.
17 Kwathi uJosefa ebona uyise ebeka isandla sakhe sokunene ekhanda lika-Efrayimi akwaze kwamthokozisa; ngakho wasibamba isandla sikayise wasisusa ekhanda lika-Efrayimi ukuthi asibeke kwelikaManase.
A na pa ni aranglae kut Ephraim e lû dawk a toung e Joseph ni a hmu navah, a lungkuep hoeh dawkvah a na pa e kut Ephraim lû dawk a toung e hah Manasseh e a lû dawk puen hanelah a tawm.
18 UJosefa wathi kuye, “Hatshi, baba, lo nguye izibulo; beka isandla sakho sokunene kwelakhe ikhanda.”
Joseph ni a na pa koevah, Apa hettelah mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, het nahoehmaw a camin. Aranglae na kut a lû dawk na toung hane vaw, telah atipouh.
19 Kodwa uyise wala, wathi, “Ngiyazi, ndodana yami, ngiyazi. Laye njalo uzakuba ngabantu abanengi, njalo laye uzakuba mkhulu. Loba kunjalo, umnawakhe uzakuba mkhulu kulaye lezizukulwane zakhe zizakuba ngamaxuku ezizwe.”

20 Wababusisa ngalolusuku wathi, “Ngebizo lakho u-Israyeli uzakutsho lesisibusiso: ‘Sengathi uNkulunkulu angakwenza ube njengo-Efrayimi loManase.’” Ngakho wabeka u-Efrayimi phambi kukaManase.
Hatdawkvah, hote hnin dawk yawhawinae a poe teh, nang pawlawk dawk Cathut ni Isarel teh yawhawinae poe naseh, nang teh Ephraim hoi Manasseh patetlah na tat naseh telah atipouh teh, Manasseh hmalah Ephraim ao sak.
21 U-Israyeli wasesithi kuJosefa, “Sengizakufa, kodwa uNkulunkulu uzakuba lani, alibuyisele elizweni labokhokho benu.
Hottelah, Isarel ni Joseph koevah, khenhaw! meimei ka due toe, hat eiteh Cathut teh nang koevah ao vaiteh mintoenaw e ram dawk na hrawi awh han.
22 Wena, njengomuntu olawula abanewenu, ngikunika umqolo welizwe engawemuka ama-Amori ngenkemba yami lomtshoko wami.”
