Bangʼ kinde moko Josef nowinjo wach ni wuon mare tuo, kuom mano nokawo yawuote ariyo Manase kod Efraim mondo odhi onene.
2 Jakobho akati audzwa kuti, “Mwanakomana wako Josefa auya,” Israeri akazvisimbaradza uye akagara panhoo.
Kane Jakobo owinjo wach ni Josef wuode obiro nene, nochukore mobet e kitandane.
3 Jakobho akati kuna Josefa, “Mwari Wamasimba Ose akazviratidza kwandiri paRuzi munyika yeKenani, uye akandiropafadza ipapo,
Jakobo nowacho ne Josef, “Nyasaye Maratego nofwenyorena Luz e piny Kanaan, kendo kanyo ema nogwedha.
4 uye akati kwandiri, ‘Ndichakuita kuti ubereke vana uye ndichaita kuti muwande. Ndichakuita vanhu vazhinji, uye ndichakupa nyika ino kuti ive yako nokuzvizvarwa zvako nokusingaperi.’
Kendo nowachona niya, ‘Abiro miyo inyaa kendo ibed gi nyithindo mangʼeny. Abiro timi oganda mar ji, kendo abiro miyo nyikwayi pinyni mondo obed girkeni manyaka chiengʼ.’
5 “Ipapo zvino, vanakomana vako vaviri vawakaberekerwa muIjipiti ndisati ndasvika kwauri kuno vachanzi ndevangu; Efuremu naManase vachava vangu, saRubheni naSimeoni vari vangu.
“Eka yawuoti ariyo mane inywolo e piny Misri kane pok abiro iri ka ibiro kwan kaka nyithinda; Efraim kod Manase biro bedo nyithinda mana kaka Reuben kod Simeon.
6 Vana vose vawakaberekerwa mumashure mavo vachava vako; munyika yavo yenhaka vachazivikanwa pasi pamazita amadzikoma avo.
Nyithindo ma ibiro nywolo bangʼ-gi ema nobed magi; to kar chamo girkeni, nokwan-gi mana kaka joka Efraim kod Manase.
7 Pandakanga ndichibva kuPadhani, ndakasuwa nokuti Rakeri akafira munyika yeKenani patakanga tichiri munzira, nhambwe pfupi kubva kuEfurati. Saka ndakamuviga ipapo parutivi rwomugwagwa unoenda kuEfurati” (ndiro Bheterehema).
Kane aduogo aa Padan, nabuok malich ka Rael minu otho e piny Kanaan kane pok wachopo Efrath. Kuom mano ne aike e bath yo madhi Efrath” (ma tiende ni Bethlehem).
8 Israeri akati aona vanakomana vaJosefa, akabvunza akati, “Ndivanaani ava?”
Kane Israel oneno yawuot Josef nopenjo niya, “Magi ngʼa gini?”
9 Josefa akati kuna baba vake, “Ndivo vanakomana vandakapiwa kuno naMwari.” Ipapo Israeri akati, “Uya navo pano ndivaropafadze.”
Josef nowacho ne wuon mare niya, “Gin yawuowi ma Nyasaye osemiya ka.” Eka Israel nowacho niya, “Kelgi ira ka mondo agwedhgi.”
10 Zvino meso aIsraeri akanga aneta nokuda kwokukwegura, uye akanga asisagoni kuona zvakanaka. Saka Josefa akauya navanakomana vake pedyo naye, baba vake vakavatsvoda uye vakavambundikira.
Koro wenge Israel ne ok nyal neno maber nikech hike noniangʼ. Kuom mano Josef nosudo nyithindo machiegni kendo Israel nokwakogi monyodhogi.
11 Israeri akati kuna Josefa, “Handina kumbofunga kuti ndichaona chiso chakozve, uye zvino Mwari anditendera kuti ndione vana vakowo.”
Israel mowachone Josef niya, “Ne ok apar mar neno wangʼi kendo to koro Nyasaye oseyiena maneno nyaka nyithindi bende.”
12 Ipapo Josefa akavabvisa pamabvi aIsraeri akakotama pasi nechiso chake.
Eka Josef nogolo nyithindogo e chong Israel kendo nokulore nyaka e lowo.
13 Uye Josefa akavatora vose vari vaviri, Efuremu kurudyi kwake akatarira kuruoko rworuboshwe rwaIsraeri, uye Manase kuruboshwe, akatarira kuruoko rworudyi rwaIsraeri, uye akavaswededza pedyo navo.
Kendo Josef nomako lwet nyithindo ariyogo, Efraim e bade korachwich kochomo bad Israel koracham, kendo Manase koracham kochomo bad Israel korachwich kendo nokelogi machiegni gi Israel.
14 Asi Israeri akatambanudza ruoko rwake rworudyi akaruisa pamusoro waEfuremu, kunyange zvake akanga ari muduku, uye akachinjika maoko ake, akaisa ruoko rwake rworuboshwe pamusoro waManase, kunyange hazvo Manase akanga ari iye dangwe.
To Israel norieyo bade ma korachwich moketo ewi Efraim wuowi ma chogo, kendo bade ma koracham ewi Manase kata obedo ni en ema ne en wuowi maduongʼ.
15 Ipapo akaropafadza Josefa akati, “Mwari uyo madzibaba angu, ivo Abhurahama naIsaka, vakafamba pamberi pake, iye Mwari akanga ari mufudzi wangu upenyu hwangu hwose kusvikira nhasi,
Eka nogwedho Josef mowachone niya, “Mad Nyasaye ma wuonena Ibrahim kod Isaka nowuothogo, Nyasaye ma osebedo jakwadh ngimana nyaka ndaloni,
16 Mutumwa akandisunungura kubva pane zvakaipa zvose, ngaaropafadze vakomana ava. Ngavadanwe nezita rangu uye namazita amadzibaba angu Abhurahama naIsaka, uye ngavawande zvikuru pamusoro penyika.”
Malaika ma oseresa e chandruok duto mad gwedh raweregi. Mad nyinga kod nying Ibrahim kwara kod Isaka wuora sik kuomgi, kendo gimedre gibed oganda maduongʼ e piny.”
17 Josefa paakaona baba vake vachiisa ruoko rwavo rworudyi pamusoro waEfuremu haana kufadzwa nazvo; saka akabata ruoko rwababa vake kuti arubvise pamusoro waEfuremu aruise pamusoro waManase.
Kane Josef oneno ka wuon mare keto lwete ma korachwich ewi Efraim ne ok obedo mamor; kuom mano, nogolo lwet wuon-gi ewi Efraim moketo ewi Manase.
18 Josefa akati kwavari, “Kwete, baba vangu, uyu ndiye dangwe; isai ruoko rwenyu rworudyi pamusoro wake.”
Josef nowachone niya, “Ooyo, wuora ma e wuowi ma kayo: ket lweti ma korachwich e wiye.”
19 Asi baba vakaramba vakati, “Ndinozviziva, mwana wangu, ndinozviziva. Naiyewo achava rudzi, uye naiyewo achava mukuru. Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo muduku achava mukuru kupfuura iye, uye zvizvarwa zvake zvichava boka rendudzi zhinji.”
To wuon-gi nodagi mowachone niya, “Angʼeyo mano nyathina. Manase bende biro bedo oganda maduongʼ. To kata kamano owadgi matin nobed giduongʼ moloye kendo nyikwaye nobed ogendini mangʼeny.”
20 Akavaropafadza pazuva iro akati, “Muzita rako, Israeri achataura ropafadzo iyi achiti: ‘Mwari ngaakuite saEfuremu naManase.’” Saka akaisa Efuremu pamberi paManase.
Nogwedhogi chiengʼno, kendo owachonegi niya, “Ka Israel dwaro gwedho ngʼato to nokonyre gi nyingu kowacho kama, ‘Mad Nyasaye gwedhi kaka osegwedho Efraim kod Manase.’” Kuom mano noketo Efraim obedo maduongʼ ne Manase.
21 Ipapo Israeri akati kuna Josefa, “Ndava pedyo nokufa, asi Mwari achava newe uye achakudzoserai kunyika yamadzibaba enyu.
Eka Israel nowacho ne Josef niya, “Koro achiegni tho, to Nyasaye biro bedo kodu kendo nodwoku e piny kwereu.
22 Uye kwauri, sezvo uri munhu ari pamusoro pamadzikoma ako, ndinokupa mugove wenyika yandakatorera vaAmori nomunondo wangu uye nouta hwangu.”
To in, kendo kaka ngʼama duongʼne owetene, amiyi lowo mane akawo kuom jo-Amor gi ligangla kod atungʼ.”
