ఆదికాండము 48
1 ౧ ఈ సంగతులైన తరువాత “ఇదిగో, మీ నాన్నకు ఒంట్లో బాగాలేదు” అని ఒకడు యోసేపుతో చెప్పాడు. అప్పుడతడు మనష్షే, ఎఫ్రాయిము అనే తన ఇద్దరు కొడుకులను వెంటబెట్టుకుని వెళ్ళాడు.
၁တစ်နေ့သောအခါယောသပ်သည်ယာကုပ် မကျန်းမမာသည့်သတင်းကိုကြားသိရ သဖြင့် သားနှစ်ယောက်ဖြစ်ကြသောမနာရှေ နှင့်ဧဖရိမ်တို့ကိုခေါ်၍ယာကုပ်ထံသို့သွား လေ၏။-
2 ౨ “ఇదిగో నీ కొడుకు యోసేపు నీ దగ్గరికి వస్తున్నాడు” అని యాకోబుకు తెలిసింది. అప్పుడు ఇశ్రాయేలు బలం తెచ్చుకుని తన మంచం మీద కూర్చున్నాడు.
၂ယာကုပ်သည်သားယောသပ်လာကြောင်းကို ကြားသိရလျှင် အားတက်လျက်အိပ်ရာပေါ် တွင်ထိုင်လေ၏။-
၃ယာကုပ်ကယောသပ်အား``အနန္တတန်ခိုးရှင် ဘုရားသခင်သည်ခါနာန်ပြည်၊ လုဇမြို့ ၌ရူပါရုံတွင်ငါ့အားကောင်းချီးပေး၍၊-
4 ౪ ‘ఇదిగో నిన్ను ఫలవంతంగా చేసి, విస్తరింపజేస్తాను. నువ్వు జన సమూహమయ్యేలా చేస్తాను. నీ వారసులకు ఈ దేశాన్ని నిత్య స్వాస్థ్యంగా ఇస్తాను’ అన్నాడు.
၄`သင်၏အဆက်အနွယ်တို့မှလူမျိုးများစွာ ပေါ်ထွန်းစေခြင်းငှာ သင့်အားသားသမီးများ စွာထွန်းကားစေမည်။ သင်၏အဆက်အနွယ် တို့အားဤပြည်ကိုအမြဲအပိုင်ရစေမည်'' ဟုဆိုလေ၏။
5 ౫ నేను ఐగుప్తుకు నీ దగ్గరికి రాకముందు ఐగుప్తు దేశంలో నీకు పుట్టిన నీ ఇద్దరు కొడుకులు నా బిడ్డలే. రూబేను షిమ్యోనుల్లాగే ఎఫ్రాయిము, మనష్షే నా కొడుకులే.
၅ထိုနောက်ဆက်လက်၍``ငါအီဂျစ်ပြည်သို့မ ရောက်မီမွေးဖွားသောသင်၏သားနှစ်ယောက် တို့သည်ငါနှင့်ဆိုင်၏။ ဧဖရိမ်နှင့်မနာရှေ တို့သည်ရုဗင်နှင့်ရှိမောင်တို့ကဲ့သို့ငါ့သား များဖြစ်ကြသည်။-
6 ౬ వారి తరువాత నీకు పుట్టిన సంతానం నీదే. వారి పేర్లు వారి సోదరుల స్వాస్థ్యం జాబితాల ప్రకారం నమోదు అవుతాయి.
၆သင်၌နောက်ထပ်သားများရလျှင်ထိုသား တို့သည်ငါ၏သားများမဟုတ်။ ထိုသားတို့ သည်ဧဖရိမ်နှင့်မနာရှေတို့မှတစ်ဆင့် သာအမွေဆက်ခံခွင့်ရှိစေမည်။-
7 ౭ పద్దనరాము నుండి నేను వస్తున్నపుడు, ఎఫ్రాతాకు ఇంకా కొంత దూరాన ఉన్నపుడు ప్రయాణంలో రాహేలు కనాను దేశంలో చనిపోయింది. అక్కడ బేత్లెహేము అనే ఎఫ్రాతా దారిలో నేను ఆమెను పాతిపెట్టాను” అని యాకోబు చెప్పాడు.
၇ငါသည်သင်၏မိခင်ရာခေလအတွက် ကြောင့်ဤသို့စီမံရသည်။ ငါသည်မက်ဆို ပိုတေးမီးယားပြည်မြောက်ပိုင်းမှပြန်လာ စဉ် သင်၏မိခင်ရာခေလသည်ခါနာန်ပြည် ဧဖရတ်မြို့အနီး၌ကွယ်လွန်၍ငါသည် အလွန်ဝမ်းနည်းပူဆွေး၏။ ငါသည်သူ၏ အလောင်းကိုဧဖရတ်မြို့သို့သွားရာလမ်း အနီး၌သင်္ဂြိုဟ်ခဲ့၏'' ဟုဆိုလေ၏။ (ဧဖရတ် မြို့ကိုယခုအခါဗက်လင်မြို့ဟုခေါ် သည်။)
၈ယာကုပ်သည်ယောသပ်၏သားနှစ်ယောက် ကိုမြင်လျှင်``ဤသူငယ်တို့သည်မည်သူနည်း'' ဟုမေး၏။
9 ౯ యోసేపు “వీళ్ళు నా కొడుకులు. వీరిని ఈ దేశంలో దేవుడు నాకిచ్చాడు” అని తన తండ్రితో చెప్పాడు. అందుకతడు “నేను వారిని దీవించడానికి నా దగ్గరికి వారిని తీసుకు రా” అన్నాడు.
၉ယောသပ်က``ဘုရားသခင်ကအီဂျစ် ပြည်တွင် ကျွန်တော်အားပေးသနားတော် မူသောသားများဖြစ်ပါသည်'' ဟုဖြေ၏။ ထိုအခါယာကုပ်က``သူတို့အားငါ ကောင်းချီးပေးရန်ငါ့အနီးသို့ခေါ်ခဲ့ လော့'' ဟုဆိုလေ၏။-
10 ౧౦ ఇశ్రాయేలు కళ్ళు వృద్ధాప్యం వలన మసకబారి చూడలేక పోయాడు. కాబట్టి, యోసేపు వారిని అతని దగ్గరికి తీసుకు వచ్చాడు. అతడు వారిని ముద్దు పెట్టుకుని కౌగిలించుకున్నాడు.
၁၀ယာကုပ်သည်အသက်အရွယ်အိုမင်းပြီ ဖြစ်သောကြောင့် မျက်စိမှုန်၍ကောင်းစွာမ မြင်နိုင်။ ယောသပ်သည်သူ၏သားများကို ယာကုပ်အနီးသို့ခေါ်ခဲ့ရာ သူသည်သူငယ် များကိုဖက်၍နမ်းရှုပ်လေ၏။-
11 ౧౧ ఇశ్రాయేలు యోసేపుతో “నీ ముఖాన్ని మళ్ళీ చూస్తానని నేను అనుకోలేదు. అయితే, నీ సంతానాన్ని కూడా దేవుడు నన్ను చూడనిచ్చాడు” అన్నాడు.
၁၁ယာကုပ်ကယောသပ်အား``ငါသည်သင့်ကို နောက်တစ်ဖန်မြင်ရဦးမည်ဟုမမျှော်လင့် ခဲ့။ ဘုရားသခင်သည်ယခုငါ့အားသင်၏ သားတို့ကိုပင်မြင်ခွင့်ပေးတော်မူပြီ'' ဟု ဆိုလေ၏။-
၁၂ထိုနောက်မိမိ၏သားတို့ကိုအဖ၏ဒူးများ ကြားမှထုတ်ပြီးနောက် ယောသပ်သည်အဖ ၏ရှေ့၌ဦးညွှတ်ချလေ၏။
13 ౧౩ తరువాత యోసేపు ఇశ్రాయేలు ఎడమచేతి వైపు తన కుడిచేత ఎఫ్రాయిమును, ఇశ్రాయేలు కుడిచేతి వైపు తన ఎడమ చేత మనష్షేను పట్టుకుని, వారిద్దరిని అతని సమీపంగా తీసుకు వచ్చాడు.
၁၃ထိုနောက်ဧဖရိမ်ကိုယာကုပ်၏အနီးလက်ဝဲ ဘက်၌လည်းကောင်း၊ မနာရှေကိုလက်ယာ ဘက်၌လည်းကောင်းရပ်စေ၏။-
၁၄သို့ရာတွင်ယာကုပ်သည်မိမိလက်ကိုယှက် ၍သားငယ်ဖြစ်သူ ဧဖရိမ်၏ဦးခေါင်းပေါ် တွင်လက်ယာလက်ကိုလည်းကောင်း၊ သားကြီး ဖြစ်သူမနာရှေ၏ဦးခေါင်းပေါ်တွင်လက် ဝဲလက်ကိုလည်းကောင်းတင်၍၊
15 ౧౫ ఇశ్రాయేలు యోసేపును దీవించి “నా పూర్వీకులు అబ్రాహాము ఇస్సాకులు ఎవరి సమక్షంలో నడుచుకున్నారో ఆ దేవుడు, ఇప్పటి వరకూ నన్ను పోషించిన ఆ దేవుడు,
၁၅ယောသပ်အားကောင်းချီးပေးလေသည်။ ``ငါ၏အဘိုးအာဗြဟံနှင့်အဖဣဇာက်တို့ ကိုးကွယ်သောဘုရားသခင်၊ ငါ့ကိုယနေ့တိုင်အောင်စောင့်ရှောက်တော်မူသော ဘုရားသခင်၊ငါ့ကိုဘေးအန္တရာယ်အပေါင်းတို့မှ ကယ်တင်တော်မူသောကောင်းကင်တမန်သည် ဤသူငယ်တို့အားကောင်းချီးပေးတော်မူပါ စေသော။ ငါ၏နာမည်၊ငါ၏အဘိုးအာဗြဟံနှင့် အဖဣဇာက်တို့၏နာမည်သည် သူတို့အားဖြင့်တည်မြဲနိုင်ပါစေသော။ သူတို့၏အဆက်အနွယ်သည်တိုးပွား များပြားကြပါစေသော။''
16 ౧౬ సమస్త కీడుల నుంచి నన్ను కాపాడిన దూత, ఈ పిల్లలను దీవించు గాక. నా పేరు, అబ్రాహాము ఇస్సాకులనే నా పితరుల పేరు వారికి కలుగు గాక. లోకంలో వారు విస్తార జనసమూహంగా అవుతారు గాక” అన్నాడు.

17 ౧౭ యోసేపు ఎఫ్రాయిము తల మీద తన తండ్రి కుడిచెయ్యి పెట్టడం చూశాడు. అది అతనికి నచ్చలేదు. అతడు మనష్షే తల మీద పెట్టించాలని తన తండ్రి చెయ్యి, ఎఫ్రాయిము తలమీద నుండి ఎత్తి,
၁၇ယောသပ်သည်အဖက ဧဖရိမ်၏ဦးခေါင်း ပေါ်တွင်လက်ယာလက်တင်သည်ကိုမြင်ရ သောအခါ စိတ်မချမ်းမသာဖြစ်၏။ သူသည် ဧဖရိမ်၏ဦးခေါင်းပေါ်မှ အဖ၏လက်ကို မနာရှေ၏ဦးခေါင်းပေါ်သို့ပြောင်းရွှေ့တင် စေလိုသဖြင့်၊-
၁၈``အဖလက်အထားမှားနေပါသည်။ ဤသူ ငယ်သည်သားကြီးဖြစ်ပါ၏။ သူ၏ဦးခေါင်း ပေါ်မှာအဖ၏လက်ယာလက်ကိုတင်ပါ'' ဟုဆိုလေ၏။
19 ౧౯ అతని తండ్రి ఒప్పుకోక “నాకు తెలుసు. కచ్చితంగా తెలుసు. ఇతడు కూడా ఒక జన సమూహమై గొప్పవాడవుతాడు. అయితే, ఇతని తమ్ముడు ఇతని కంటే గొప్పవాడవుతాడు. అతని సంతానం జన సమూహాలు అవుతారు” అన్నాడు.
၁၉သို့ရာတွင်သူ၏အဖကငြင်းဆန်၍``ငါ့သား၊ အဖသိပါသည်။ မနာရှေ၏အဆက်အနွယ် တို့သည်လည်းလူမျိုးကြီးဖြစ်လိမ့်မည်။ သို့ သော်လည်းသူ့ညီသည် သူ့ထက်သာ၍ကြီး မြတ်မည်ဖြစ်၍ သူ၏အဆက်အနွယ်တို့သည် လူမျိုးကြီးများဖြစ်လာလိမ့်မည်'' ဟုဆို လေ၏။
20 ౨౦ ఆ రోజు అతడు వారిని ఇలా దీవించాడు. “ఇశ్రాయేలీయులు ఎవరినైనా దీవించేటపుడు, ‘ఎఫ్రాయిములాగా మనష్షేలాగా దేవుడు మిమ్మల్ని చేస్తాడు గాక’ అని మీ పేరెత్తి దీవిస్తారు” అని చెప్పి మనష్షే కంటే ఎఫ్రాయిమును ముందుగా ఉంచాడు.
၂၀သို့ဖြစ်၍ယာကုပ်က``ဣသရေလအမျိုးသား တို့သည်သင်တို့၏နာမည်များကိုအသုံး ပြုလျက်ကောင်းချီးပေးကြလိမ့်မည်။ သူတို့ က`ဧဖရိမ်နှင့်မနာရှေတို့ကဲ့သို့သင့်ကိုကြီး ပွားစေရန်ဘုရားသခင်ကူမတော်မူပါစေ သော' ဟုဆိုကြလိမ့်မည်'' ဟူ၍ထိုနေ့၌သူ ငယ်တို့အားကောင်းချီးပေးလေ၏။ ဤနည်း အားဖြင့်ယာကုပ်သည်ဧဖရိမ်၏နာမည် ကိုမနာရှေ၏နာမည်ရှေ့၌ထားသတည်း။
21 ౨౧ ఇశ్రాయేలు “ఇదిగో నేను చనిపోతున్నాను, అయినా దేవుడు మీకు తోడై ఉండి మీ పూర్వీకుల దేశానికి మిమ్మల్ని తిరిగి రప్పిస్తాడు.
၂၁ထိုနောက်ယာကုပ်သည်ယောသပ်အား``ငါသည် ယခုသေအံ့ဆဲဆဲရှိပြီ။ သို့သော်လည်းဘုရားသခင်သည်သင်တို့နှင့်အတူရှိ၍ ဘိုးဘေးတို့ နေထိုင်ရာပြည်သို့ပြန်လည်ပို့ဆောင်တော်မူ လိမ့်မည်။-
22 ౨౨ నేను నీ సోదరులకంటే నీకు ఒక భాగం ఎక్కువ ఇచ్చాను. దాన్ని, నా కత్తితో నా వింటితో, అమోరీయుల చేతిలో నుండి తీసుకున్నాను” అని యోసేపుతో చెప్పాడు.
၂၂ငါသည်ဋ္ဌားနှင့်လေးလက်နက်တို့ဖြင့်အာ မောရိအမျိုးသားတို့လက်မှသိမ်းယူရရှိ သောမြေသြဇာထက်သန်သည့် ရှေခင်နယ်ကို သင်၏အစ်ကိုတို့အားငါမပေး။ သင့်အား သာငါပေး၏'' ဟုဆိုလေ၏။
