Bilowgii 48

1 Waxyaalahaas ka dib waxaa Yuusuf lagu yidhi, Bal eeg, aabbahaa waa bukaaye. Markaasuu wuxuu kaxaystay labadiisii wiil oo ahaa Manaseh iyo Efrayim.

Sometime after this, Joseph was told, “Your father is sick.” So Joseph went to see him, taking with him his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim.

2 Kolkaasaa waxaa Yacquub loo soo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Bal eeg, wiilkaagii Yuusuf baa kuu imanaya. Markaasaa Israa'iil intuu xoog isgeliyey ayuu soo dul fadhiistay sariirtiisii.

When Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has come to you,” he gathered his strength and sat up in bed.

3 Markaasaa Yacquub wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ayaa iigu muuqday Luus oo ku taal dalka Kancaan, wuuna i barakeeyey,

Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in Canaan, and he blessed me there.

4 oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Bal eeg waan ku badin doonaa, waanan ku tarmin doonaa, oo waxaan kaa dhigi doonaa dad fara badan; dhulkanna waxaan siin doonaa farcankaaga kaa dambeeya, inuu hanti aan weligeed dhammaanayn u ahaado.

He told me, ‘Listen! I will make you prosperous and make your descendants so numerous that you will become the ancestor of many nations, and I will give this land to your descendants to own forever.’

5 Haddaba labadaadii wiil oo dalka Masar kuugu dhashay, intaanan kuugu iman Masar, anigaa iska leh. Efrayim iyo Manaseh ayaan u lahaan doonaa sida Ruubeen iyo Simecoon.

I am counting as mine your two sons Ephraim and Manasseh who were born here in Egypt before I arrived, just as Reuben and Simeon are mine.

6 Carruurta aad iyaga ka dib dhasho, adigaa iska lahaan doona, waana in loo bixiyo magacyada walaalahood markay wax dhaxlaan.

Any other children you have after them will be yours, and will share their inheritance within the land of their older brothers.

7 Anigana, markii aan ka imid Fadan ayaa Raaxeel igaga dhimatay dalkii Kancaan waddada loo maro, intaanan weli Efrad soo gaadhin; oo kolkaasaan iyadii ku aasay waddada loo maro Efrad, meeshaasuna waa Beytlaxam.

I'm doing this because tragically for me when I was returning from Paddan-aram, Rachel died in Canaan some distance from Ephrath. I buried her there on the way to Ephrath” (also known as Bethlehem).

8 Markaasaa Israa'iil intuu wiilashii Yuusuf dhugtay ayuu yidhi, Kuwanu waa ayo?

Israel saw Jacob's sons and said, “These are your sons then?”

9 Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Waa wiilashaydii Ilaah halkan igu siiyey. Markaasuu isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, iyaga ii soo dhowee, waanan u ducaynayaa.

“Yes, these are the sons God gave me here,” Joseph told his father. “Bring them over here so I can bless them,” he said.

10 Haddaba Israa'iil cimrigiisii dheeraa aawadiis ayuu la indha darnaaday, sidaas daraaddeed waxba ma uu arki karin. Kolkaasuu iyagii u soo dhoweeyey, wuuna isku duubay oo dhunkaday.

Israel's eyesight was failing because of his age and he couldn't see well, so Joseph brought them close to his father, and he kissed and hugged them.

11 Markaasaa Israa'iil wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Uma aan malaynayn inaan wejigaaga arki doono, oo bal eeg, Ilaah weliba wuxuu i tusay xataa farcankaagii.

Israel said to Joseph, “I never thought I'd see your face again, and now God has even let me see your children!”

12 Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu iyagii ka durkiyey lowyihiisii; oo intuu sujuuday ayuu wejigiisii dhulka saaray.

Joseph took his sons from between Israel's knees, and bowed low with his face to the ground.

13 Markaasuu Yuusuf labadoodiiba kaxeeyey, intuu Efrayim gacantiisii midigta ahayd ku qabtay oo ku toosan Israa'iil bidixdiisa, Manasehna ku qabtay bidixdiisii oo ku toosan midigtii Israa'iil, wuuna u soo dhoweeyey iyagii.

Then Joseph placed Ephraim on his right so he would be on Israel's left, and Manasseh on his left so he would be on Israel's right, and then brought them over to Israel.

14 Markaasaa Israa'iil soo fidiyey gacantiisii midigta ahayd, oo wuxuu saaray madaxii Efrayim oo kii yaraa ahaa. Gacantiisii bidixda ahaydna wuxuu saaray Manaseh madaxiisii, wuuna isdhaafiyey gacmihiisii, maxaa yeelay, Manaseh wuxuu ahaa curadkii.

But when Israel reached out his hands, he crossed them over and placed his right hand on Ephraim the younger son, and placed his left on Manasseh, the firstborn.

15 Markaasuu Yuusuf u duceeyey, oo wuxuu yidhi, Ilaaha aabbahay Isxaaq iyo awowgay Ibraahim ay ku hor socdeen, oo ah Ilaaha i quudinayay intii aan noolaa oo dhan ilaa maanta,

He blessed Joseph, saying, “May the God my grandfather Abraham and my father worshiped—the God who has taken care of me like a shepherd throughout my life until now,

16 iyo malaa'igtii iga soo samatabbixisay xumaato oo dhan, wiilasha ha barakeeyeen; oo magacayga ha lagu magacaabo iyaga, iyo magicii aabbahay Isxaaq, iyo kii awowgay Ibraahim; oo dad faro badan dhulka ha ku noqdeen.

the Angel who has saved me from all kinds of trouble—may he bless these boys. May my name and the names of my grandfather Abraham and father Isaac continue through them, and may they have many descendants that spread throughout the earth.”

17 Oo markii Yuusuf arkay in aabbihiis gacantiisii midigta ahayd Efrayim madaxiisa saaray ayuu taas ka xumaaday; markaasuu gacantii aabbihiis qabtay inuu ka qaado Efrayim madaxiisa oo uu saaro Manaseh madaxiisa.

Joseph was unhappy when saw his father had put his right hand on Ephraim, so he took his father's hand to try and move it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.

18 Oo Yuusufna wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Aabbahayow, saas ma aha, waayo, kanu waa curadkii ee gacantaada midigta ah madaxiisa saar.

“Not like that, father, this is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head,” Joseph told him.

19 Markaasaa aabbihiis diiday oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ogahay, waan ogahay, wiilkaygiiyow. Isaguna wuxuu noqon doonaa quruun, wuuna weynaan doonaa; habase yeeshee walaalkiisa ka yar baa ka weynaan doona, oo farcankiisu wuxuu noqon doonaa quruumo faro badan.

But his father refused, saying, “I know what I'm doing. Manasseh will also become an important people, but his younger brother will be greater than him, and his descendants will become a large nation.”

20 Oo maalintaasuu u duceeyey iyagii, oo wuxuu yidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil idinkay idinku ducaysan doonaan, iyagoo leh, Ilaah ha kaa dhigo sidii Efrayim iyo sidii Manaseh. Oo Efrayimna wuxuu ka hor mariyey Manaseh.

So Israel blessed them that day and said: “In the future the people of Israel will use your names to give a blessing, saying, ‘May God bless you like he did Ephraim and Manasseh.’” In saying this he placed Ephraim before Manasseh.

21 Oo Israa'iilna wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Anigu waan dhimanayaa, laakiinse Ilaah baa kula jiri doona, oo mar labaadna wuxuu ku geeyn doonaa dhulkii awowayaashaa.

Then Israel said to Joseph, “I'm going to die soon, but God will be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers.

22 Oo weliba waxaan ku siiyey qayb dheeraad ah, oo aad walaalahaa dheer tahay, waana tii aan reer Amor kaga qaatay seeftayda iyo qaansadayda.

I'm also giving you something in addition to what I'm giving your brothers—piece of land on the mountain slope of Shechem that I took from the Amorites with my sword and bow.”
