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.
And it came to pass after these things, that one said to Joseph, Lo! thy father, is sick. So he took his two sons with him, 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.
And one told Jacob, and said—Lo! thy son Joseph, coming in unto thee. So Israel strengthened himself, and sat up on the couch.
3 Markaasaa Yacquub wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ayaa iigu muuqday Luus oo ku taal dalka Kancaan, wuuna i barakeeyey,
Then said Jacob unto Joseph, GOD Almighty, appeared unto me in Luz in the land of Canaan, —and blessed me;
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.
and said unto me—Behold me! about to make thee fruitful, so will I multiply thee, and give thee to become a multitude of peoples, —so will I give this land to thy seed after thee, as an age-abiding possession.
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.
Now, therefore thy two sons who were born to thee in the land of Egypt, before I came in unto thee in Egypt, are mine! Ephraim and Manasseh, like Reuben and Simeon, shall be mine!
6 Carruurta aad iyaga ka dib dhasho, adigaa iska lahaan doona, waana in loo bixiyo magacyada walaalahood markay wax dhaxlaan.
But thine offspring which thou hast begotten after them, thine own shall they be, —after the name of their brethren, shall they be called in their inheritance.
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.
But, as for me, when I came in from Padan, Rachel died by me, in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet there was a stretch of country to come into Ephrath, —so I buried her there in the way to Ephrath, the same, is Bethlehem.
8 Markaasaa Israa'iil intuu wiilashii Yuusuf dhugtay ayuu yidhi, Kuwanu waa ayo?
Then Israel saw Joseph’s sons, —and said—Who are these?
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.
And Joseph said unto his father, My sons, they are, whom God hath given me, in this place. And he said—Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, that I may bless them.
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.
Now, the eyes of Israel, had become dim from old age, —he could not see, —so he drew them near unto him, and kissed them, and embraced 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.
And Israel said unto Joseph, To see thine own face, had I not thought, —and lo! God hath caused me to see even thy seed!
12 Markaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu iyagii ka durkiyey lowyihiisii; oo intuu sujuuday ayuu wejigiisii dhulka saaray.
And Joseph brought them out from beside his knees, and bowed himself down with his face towards the earth.
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.
And Joseph took them both, —Ephraim in his right hand on Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand, on Israel’s right hand, and drew them near unto him.
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.
Then Israel put forth his right hand and laid it upon the head of Ephraim, though, he, was the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh, —crossing his hands, although, Manasseh, was the first-born.
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,
Thus blessed he Joseph, and said, —God himself—before whom walked my fathers. Abraham and Isaac, God himself—who hath been my shepherd, since I came into being until this day; —
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 Messenger—who hath been my redeemer from all evil—bless the lads! And may there be called upon them, my name, and the name of my fathers. Abraham and Isaac; And may they swarm into a multitude, in the midst of 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.
And Joseph saw that his father had laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim and it was displeasing in his eyes, —so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from off the head of Ephraim, on to the head of Manasseh.
18 Oo Yuusufna wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Aabbahayow, saas ma aha, waayo, kanu waa curadkii ee gacantaada midigta ah madaxiisa saar.
And Joseph said unto his father—Not so, my father! for, this, is the firstborn, lay thy right hand upon his head.
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.
And his father refused, and said—I know—my son, I know! He also, shall become a people, and he also, shall become great, —but nevertheless, his younger brother, shall become greater than he, and his seed, shall become a filling up of the nations.
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.
And he blessed them on that day, saying—In thee, let Israel bless himself saying, God set thee as Ephraim, and as Manasseh! So he set 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.
And Israel said unto Joseph: Lo! I, am about to die, —but it shall come to pass that, God will be with you, and will take you back into 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.
But, I, have given to thee one mountain-track above thy brethren, —which I took out of the hand of the Amorite, with my sword and with my bow.
