Uumama 48

1 Yeroo muraasa booddee, “Kunoo, abbaan kee dhukkubsateera” jedhanii Yoosefitti himan. Innis ilmaan isaa lamaan Minaasee fi Efreemin fudhatee dhaqe.

Againe after this, one sayd to Ioseph, Loe, thy father is sicke: then hee tooke with him his two sonnes, Manasseh and Ephraim.

2 Yaaqoob yeroo, “Ilmi kee Yoosef gara kee dhufeera” jedhanii itti himanitti, Israaʼel of jajjabeessee kaʼee siree irra taaʼe.

Also one told Iaakob, and said, Behold, thy sonne Ioseph is come to thee, and Israel tooke his strength vnto him and sate vpon the bed.

3 Yaaqoobis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti Luuzitti natti mulʼatee achitti na eebbise;

Then Iaakob sayde vnto Ioseph, God almightie appeared vnto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me.

4 akkanas naan jedhe; ‘Ani akka ati hortuu fi akka ati baayʼattu nan godha. Tuuta sabaa sin godha; ani biyya kana dhaala bara baraa godhee sanyiiwwan kee warra si booddeetiif nan kenna.’

And he sayde vnto me, Behold, I wil make thee fruitefull, and will multiplie thee, and will make a great number of people of thee, and will giue this lande vnto thy seede after thee for an euerlasting possession.

5 “Egaa amma ilmaan kee lamaan warri utuu ani as gara kee hin dhufin dura Gibxitti siif dhalatan sun akkuma ilmaan kootti ilaalamu; akkuma Ruubeenii fi Simiʼoon kan koo taʼan sana Efreemii fi Minaaseenis kanuma koo taʼu.

And now thy two sonnes, Manasseh and Ephraim, which are borne vnto thee in the lande of Egypt, before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are mine.

6 Ijoolleen isaan booddeen siif dhalatan kan kee taʼu. Dhaala qoodachuu keessatti immoo maqaa obboloota isaanii jalatti lakkaaʼamu.

But the linage, which thou hast begotten after them, shalbe thine: they shall be called after the names of their brethren in their inheritance.

7 Yeroo ani kaaba dhiʼa Phaadaaniitii deebiʼaa turetti utuma Efraataa gaʼuuf xinnuma nuu hafee jiruu Raahel biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti na jalaa duunaan achumatti karaa Efraataa dhaqu biratti awwaalladhe.” Efraataan kunis Beetlihemii dha.

Nowe when I came from Padan, Rahel died vpon mine hande in the lande of Canaan, by the way when there was but halfe a dayes iourney of grounde to come to Ephrath: and I buryed her there in the way to Ephrath: the same is Beth-lehem.

8 Israaʼel yeroo ilmaan Yoosef argetti, “Isaan kunneen eenyu?” jedhee gaafate.

Then Israel beheld Iosephs sonnes and sayd, Whose are these?

9 Yoosef immoo abbaa isaatiin, “Isaan kunneen ilmaan biyya kanatti Waaqni naaf kennee dha” jedhe. Kana irratti Israaʼel, “Akka ani isaan eebbisuuf natti fidi” jedhe.

And Ioseph sayd vnto his father, They are my sonnes, which God hath giuen mee here. Then he sayd, I pray thee, bring them to me, that I may blesse them:

10 Yeroo kanatti Israaʼel dulloomee iji isaa dadhabee ture; innis waa hubachuu hin dandaʼu ture. Kanaafuu Yoosef ilmaan isaa Israaʼelitti dhiʼeesse; Israaʼelis isaan dhungate; isaan hammates.

(For the eyes of Israel were dimme for age, so that hee coulde not well see) Then he caused them to come to him, and he kissed them and embraced them.

11 Israaʼelis Yoosefiin, “Ani fuuluma kee iyyuu nan arga jedhee hin yaadne; Waaqni garuu akka ani ijoollee kee iyyuu argu naa eeyyame” jedhe.

And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph, I had not thought to haue seene thy face: yet lo, God hath shewed me also thy seede.

12 Yoosefis jilba Israaʼel irraa achi isaan butee fuula isaatiin lafatti gad gombifame.

And Ioseph tooke them away from his knees, and did reuerence downe to the ground.

13 Innis ergasii lamaan isaanii iyyuu fuudhee Efreemin karaa mirga isaatiin gara harka Israaʼel isa bitaatti, Minaasee immoo bitaa isaatiin gara harka Israaʼel isa mirgaatti fidee isatti dhiʼeesse.

Then tooke Ioseph them both, Ephraim in his right hand towarde Israels left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israels right hand, so he brought them vnto him.

14 Israaʼel garuu utuma Efreem quxisuu taʼee jiruu harka isaa mirgaa mataa Efreem irra kaaʼe; Minaaseen immoo utuma hangafa taʼee jiruu Israaʼel harka isaa wal qaxxaamursee harka isaa bitaa mataa Minaasee irra kaaʼe.

But Israel stretched out his right hand, and layde it on Ephraims head, which was the yonger, and his left hande vpon Manassehs head (directing his handes of purpose) for Manasseh was the elder.

15 Innis akkana jedhee Yoosefin eebbise; “Waaqni inni abbootiin koo Abrahaamii fi Yisihaaq fuula isaa dura jiraatan, Waaqni inni bara jireenya koo guutuu hamma harʼaatti tiksee koo ture sun,

Also he blessed Ioseph and sayde, The God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Izhak did walke, the God, which hath fed me al my life long vnto this day, blesse thee.

16 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo kan balaa hunda jalaa na baase sun ilmaan kanneen haa eebbisu. Isaan maqaa kootiin, maqaa abbootii koo Abrahaamii fi Yisihaaqiin haa waamaman; isaan lafa irratti guddaa haa baayʼatan.”

The Angel, which hath deliuered me from all euill, blesse the children, and let my name be named vpon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Izhak, that they may growe as fish into a multitude in the middes of the earth.

17 Yoosef yommuu akka abbaan isaa harka isaa mirgaa mataa Efreem irra kaaʼe argetti ni gadde; kanaafuu inni harka abbaa isaa mataa Efreem irraa fuudhee mataa Minaasee irra kaaʼuuf jedhee kaase.

But when Ioseph sawe that his father layde his right hande vpon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he stayed his fathers hand to remooue it from Ephraims head to Manassehs head.

18 Yoosef abbaa isaatiin, “Yaa abbaa ko, akkas miti; inni kun hangafa; harka kee mirgaa mataa isaa irra kaaʼi” jedhe.

And Ioseph sayde vnto his father, Not so, my father, for this is the eldest: put thy right hand vpon his head.

19 Abbaan isaa garuu didee akkana jedheen; “Ani nan beeka; yaa ilma koo nan beeka. Innis saba taʼa; saba guddaa isaa taʼa. Taʼus obboleessi isaa inni quxisuun isa caalaa guddaa taʼa; sanyiin isaas tuuta saba baayʼee ni taʼa.”

But his father refused, and sayd, I know well, my sonne, I know well: he shalbe also a people, and he shalbe great likewise: but his yonger brother shalbe greater then he, and his seede shall be full of nations.

20 Innis gaafa sana akkana jedhee isaan eebbise; “Israaʼel maqaa keetiin eebba kana kenna; ‘Waaqni akka Efreemii fi akka Minaasee isin haa taasisu.’” Yoosefis akkasiin Minaasee dura Efreemin dabarse.

So he blessed them that day, and sayde, In thee Israel shall blesse, and say, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh. and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

21 Ergasii Israaʼel Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani duʼuu gaʼeera; Waaqni garuu isin wajjin taʼee biyya abbaa keessaniitti isin deebisa.

Then Israel said vnto Ioseph, Behold, I die, and God shall be with you, and bring you againe vnto the land of your fathers.

22 Ani qooda obboloota keetii caalchisee qooda tokko siifin kenna; kunis lafa ol kaʼaa ani Amoorota irraa goraadee koo fi iddaa kootiin fudhadhe sanaa dha.”

Moreouer, I haue giuen vnto thee one portion aboue thy brethren, which I gate out of the hand of the Amorite by my sworde and by my bowe.
