1 Yeroo muraasa booddee, “Kunoo, abbaan kee dhukkubsateera” jedhanii Yoosefitti himan. Innis ilmaan isaa lamaan Minaasee fi Efreemin fudhatee dhaqe.
Yei akyiri no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Wʼagya yare.” Enti, Yosef faa ne mmammarima 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.
Ɛberɛ a wɔbɔɔ Yakob amaneɛ sɛ, “Wo ba Yosef aba wo nkyɛn rebɛsra wo” no, Yakob miaa nʼani sɔre tenaa ne mpa so maa no akwaaba.
3 Yaaqoobis Yoosefiin akkana jedhe; “Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu biyya Kanaʼaan keessatti Luuzitti natti mulʼatee achitti na eebbise;
Ɛnna Yakob ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ me wɔ Lus a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so. Ɛhɔ na ɔhyiraa 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 sɛ, ‘Mɛma woawo, ama wʼase afɛe. Mɛma wʼasefoɔ ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ. Mede saa asase yi bɛma wʼasefoɔ sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ afebɔɔ.’
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 enti, 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, sɛdeɛ 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 foforɔ biara a wobɛwo wɔn wɔ Efraim ne Manase akyiri no na wɔbɛyɛ wo dea. Wɔde wɔn bɛka wɔn nuanom no ho wɔ asase a wɔde bɛma wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ 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.
Ɛberɛ a mefiri Paddan-Aram reba no, ababaawa Rahel wuu wɔ ɛkwan mu, ma ɛyɛɛ me ya. Na aka akwansini kakra na yɛaduru Efrat. Ɛno enti, mesiee no wɔ Eufrate, a wɔfrɛ no Betlehem no kwankyɛn baabi.”
8 Israaʼel yeroo ilmaan Yoosef argetti, “Isaan kunneen eenyu?” jedhee gaafate.
Ɛberɛ a Israel hunuu Yosef mmammarima no, ɔbisaa sɛ, “Na yeinom yɛ ɛhefoɔ?”
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 sɛ, “Wɔyɛ mmammarima a Onyankopɔn de wɔn adom me wɔ ha.” Na Israel kaa sɛ, “Fa wɔn bra mʼanim ha na menhyira 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 ɛberɛ no, ɛsiane onyini enti, na Israel ani so ayɛ wisiwisi a, ɔnhunu adeɛ papa. Ne saa enti, Yosef de ne mma no kɔɔ ne nkyɛn pɛɛ, ma ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, fefee 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 sɛ, “Manna mannwene sɛ mɛhunu wʼanim bio da, nanso hwɛ deɛ Onyame ayɛ. Wama me ho kwan ama mahunu wo mma nso.”
12 Yoosefis jilba Israaʼel irraa achi isaan butee fuula isaatiin lafatti gad gombifame.
Yosef pagyaa wɔn firii Israel kotodwe anim, ɛnna ɔno ara nso buu nkotodwe de nʼanim butuu 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.
Ɔpagyaa ne mu no, ɔde ne nsa nifa sɔɔ Efraim mu, de no gyinaa Yakob benkum so, ɛnna ɔde ne nsa benkum sɔɔ 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 tenee ne nsa nifa de too Efraim a ɔyɛ akumaa no apampam, ɛnna ɔde ne nsa benkum no too Manase nso apampam. Ɛwom sɛ na Manase yɛ abakan deɛ, 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,
Ɔhyiraa Yosef sɛ, “Onyankopɔn a mʼagyanom Abraham ne Isak nantee nʼanim, ne me Onyankopɔn a ɔhwɛɛ me sɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ de bɛsi ɛnnɛ 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 ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔgyee me firii ɔhaw nyinaa mu no, ɔnhyira saa mmarimaa yi. Wɔmfa me din ne mʼagyanom, Abraham ne Isak edin 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.
Ɛberɛ a Yosef hunuu sɛ nʼagya de ne nsa nifa ato Efraim apampam no, anyɛ no dɛ. Enti, ɔyii nʼagya nsa nifa no firii 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 sɛ, “Dabi, mʼagya, yei ne mʼabakan, enti 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 kaa sɛ, “Me ba, menim saa. Ɔno nso bɛyɛ ɔman, na wayɛ kɛse. Nanso, ne nua kumaa no bɛyɛ kɛse asene no, na nʼasefoɔ bɛyɛ amanaman 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 ɛda no, Yakob hyiraa mmarimaa no sɛ, “Israelfoɔ nyinaa nam mo din so bɛhyirahyira wɔn ho wɔn ho. Wɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn bɛhyirahyira mo, ama moakɔ so frɔmfrɔm te sɛ Efraim ne Manase.’” Saa ɛkwan yi so na Yakob fa maa Efraim bɛdii 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 sɛ, “Merebɛwu, nanso Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ mo so, na wasane 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 seesei woabɛyɛ wo nuanom nyinaa so panin no, mede asase a menam me sekan ne mʼagyan so gye firii Amorifoɔ nkyɛn no rema wo.”
