1 Yeroo muraasa booddee, “Kunoo, abbaan kee dhukkubsateera” jedhanii Yoosefitti himan. Innis ilmaan isaa lamaan Minaasee fi Efreemin fudhatee dhaqe.
Mmere bi akyi no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Wʼagya yare.” Enti Yosef faa ne mmabarima baanu, Efraim ne Manase kaa ne ho kɔsraa no.
2 Yaaqoob yeroo, “Ilmi kee Yoosef gara kee dhufeera” jedhanii itti himanitti, Israaʼel of jajjabeessee kaʼee siree irra taaʼe.
Bere a wɔbɔɔ Yakob amanneɛ se, “Wo ba Yosef aba wo nkyɛn rebɛsra wo” no, Yakob miaa nʼani sɔre tenaa ne mpa so.
3 Yaaqoobis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti Luuzitti natti mulʼatee achitti na eebbise;
Yakob ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Otumfo Nyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ me wɔ Lus a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so. Ɛhɔ na ohyiraa 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.’
ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Mɛma woawo, ama wʼase afɛe. Mɛma wʼasefo ayɛ ɔman kɛse. Mede saa asase yi bɛma wʼasefo afebɔɔ sɛ wɔn agyapade.’
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.
“Ɛno nti, mede wo mma baanu a wɔwoo wɔn maa wo ansa na mereba wo nkyɛn wɔ Misraim asase so ha no bɛka me mma no ho. Efraim ne Manase bɛka me mma ho, sɛnea Ruben ne Simeon yɛ me mma no.
6 Ijoolleen isaan booddeen siif dhalatan kan kee taʼu. Dhaala qoodachuu keessatti immoo maqaa obboloota isaanii jalatti lakkaaʼamu.
Mma foforo biara a wobɛwo wɔn wɔ Efraim ne Manase akyi no na wɔbɛyɛ wo de. Wɔde wɔn bɛka wɔn nuanom no ho wɔ asase a wɔde bɛma wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapade no so.
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.
Bere a mifi Paddan-Aram reba no, ababaa Rahel wuu wɔ ɔkwan mu ma ɛyɛɛ me yaw. Na aka akwansin kakraa bi na yɛadu Efrat. Ɛno nti, misiee no wɔ Eufrate, a wɔfrɛ no Betlehem no kwankyɛn baabi.”
8 Israaʼel yeroo ilmaan Yoosef argetti, “Isaan kunneen eenyu?” jedhee gaafate.
Bere a Israel huu Yosef mmabarima no, obisae se, “Na eyinom yɛ hefo?”
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.
Yosef buaa nʼagya se, “Wɔyɛ mmabarima a Onyankopɔn de wɔn adom me wɔ ha.” Na Israel kae se, “Fa wɔn bra mʼanim ha na minhyira wɔn.”
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.
Saa bere no, esiane onyin nti, na Israel ani so ayɛ wusiwusi a onhu ade papa. Ne saa nti, Yosef de ne mma no kɔɔ ne nkyɛn pɛɛ ma ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, fifew wɔn ano.
11 Israaʼelis Yoosefiin, “Ani fuuluma kee iyyuu nan arga jedhee hin yaadne; Waaqni garuu akka ani ijoollee kee iyyuu argu naa eeyyame” jedhe.
Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Manna mannwene sɛ mehu wʼanim bio da, nanso hwɛ nea Onyame ayɛ. Wama me ho kwan ama mahu wo mma nso.”
12 Yoosefis jilba Israaʼel irraa achi isaan butee fuula isaatiin lafatti gad gombifame.
Yosef maa wɔn so fii Israel kotodwe anim, na ɔno ara nso buu nkotodwe de nʼanim butuw fam.
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.
Ɔsɔre no, ɔde ne nsa nifa soo Efraim mu, de no gyinaa Yakob benkum so, na ɔde ne nsa benkum soo Manase mu, de no gyinaa Yakob nifa so bɛn no pɛɛ.
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.
Israel teɛɛ ne nsa nifa de too Efraim a ɔyɛ akumaa no apampam, na ɔde ne nsa benkum no too Manase nso apampam. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Manase yɛ abakan de, nanso ɔde ne nsa benkum na ɛtoo nʼapampam.
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,
Ohyiraa Yosef se, “Onyankopɔn a mʼagyanom Abraham ne Isak nantew nʼanim, ne me Nyankopɔn a ɔhwɛɛ me sɛ oguanhwɛfo de besi nnɛ no,
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.”
ɔsoro bɔfo a ogyee me fii ɔhaw nyinaa mu no, onhyira saa mmarimaa yi. Wɔmfa me din ne mʼagyanom, Abraham ne Isak din ntoto wɔn, na wɔn ase mfɛe wɔ asase so.”
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.
Bere a Yosef huu sɛ nʼagya de ne nsa nifa ato Efraim apampam no, anyɛ no dɛ. Enti oyii nʼagya nsa nifa no fii Efraim apampam, kɔtoo Manase apampam.
18 Yoosef abbaa isaatiin, “Yaa abbaa ko, akkas miti; inni kun hangafa; harka kee mirgaa mataa isaa irra kaaʼi” jedhe.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya se, “Dabi, mʼagya, oyi ne mʼabakan, nti fa wo nsa nifa to nʼapampam.”
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.”
Nanso nʼagya ampene so kae se, “Me ba, minim saa. Ɔno nso bɛyɛ ɔman, na wayɛ ɔkɛse. Nanso ne nua kumaa no bɛyɛ ɔkɛse asen no, na nʼasefo bɛyɛ aman bebree.”
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.
Enti da no, Yakob hyiraa mmarimaa no se, “Israelfo nyinaa nam mo din so behyirahyira wɔn ho wɔn ho. Wɔbɛka se, ‘Onyankopɔn behyirahyira mo, ama moakɔ so frɔmfrɔm te sɛ Efraim ne Manase.’” Saa ɔkwan yi so na Yakob fa maa Efraim bedii Manase anim.
21 Ergasii Israaʼel Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani duʼuu gaʼeera; Waaqni garuu isin wajjin taʼee biyya abbaa keessaniitti isin deebisa.
Na Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Merebewu, nanso Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ mo so, na wasan de mo akɔ Kanaan, mo agyanom asase so bio.
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.”
Wo a mprempren woabɛyɛ wo nuanom nyinaa so panyin no, mede asase a menam me afoa ne mʼagyan so gye fii Amorifo nkyɛn no rema wo.”
