1 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, naʻe fakahā ʻe he tokotaha kia Siosefa ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku mahaki hoʻo tamai:” pea naʻa ne ʻave mo ia ʻa hono ongo foha, ko Manase, mo ʻIfalemi.

After these deades tydiges were brought vnto Ioseph: that his father was seke. And he toke with him his ij. sones Manasses and Ephraim.

2 Pea naʻe tala kia Sēkope, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku haʻu ho foha ko Siosefa kiate koe: pea naʻe fakamālohi ʻe ʻIsileli ia, pea ne nofo hake ʻi he mohenga.”

Then was it sayde vnto Iacob: beholde thy sonne Ioseph commeth vnto the. And Israel toke his strength vnto him and satt vp on the bedd

3 Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope kia Siosefa, “Naʻe hā mai ʻae ʻOtua māfimafi kiate au ʻi Lusa ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo ne tāpuaki au;

and sayde vnto Ioseph: God all mightie appeared vnto me at lus in the lande of Canaan ad blessed me

4 ‌ʻo ne pehē mai kiate au, ‘Vakai, te u ngaohi koe ke ke monūʻia, mo ke tupu ʻo tokolahi, pea te u fakatupu ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi kakai lahi; pea te u foaki ʻae fonua ni ki ho hako ki mui ʻiate koe, ko e nofoʻanga maʻu ʻo taʻengata.’”

and sayde vnto me: beholde I will make the growe and will multiplye the and will make a great nombre of people of the and will geue this lande vnto the and vnto thy seed after ye vnto an euerlastinge possession.

5 “Pea ko eni, ko ho ongo foha ko ʻIfalemi, mo Manase, naʻe fānau kiate koe ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻi he teʻeki ai te u haʻu ki ʻIsipite, ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻakinaua; ʻo hangē ko Lupeni mo Simione, ʻe ʻoʻoku ʻakinaua.

Now therfore thy. ij. sones Manasses ad Ephraim which were borne vnto the before I came to the in to Egipte shalbe myne: euen as Ruben and Simeo shall they be vnto me.

6 Pea ko hoʻo fānau te ke fakatupu kimui ʻiate kinaua, ʻe ʻoʻou ia, pea ʻe ui ʻakinautolu ʻi he hingoa ʻo honau kāinga ʻi honau tofiʻa.

And the childern which thou getest after them shalbe thyne awne: but shalbe called with the names of their brethern in their enheritaunces.

7 Pea ko au, ʻi heʻeku haʻu mei Petana, naʻe pekia ʻa Lesieli ʻo ofi kiate au ʻi he hala, ka naʻe toetoe siʻi pe, pea mau hoko ki ʻEfelata pea naʻaku tanu ia ʻi he hala ki ʻEfelata ʻaia ko Petelihema.”

And after I came from Mesopotamia Rahel dyed apon my hande in the lande of Canaa by the waye: when I had but a feldes brede to goo vnto Ephrat. And I buried her there in ye waye to Ephrat which is now called Bethlehem.

8 Pea naʻe sio ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ongo foha ʻo Siosefa, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hai ʻakinaua?”

And Israel behelde Iosephes sonnes and sayde: what are these?

9 Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene tamai, “Ko hoku ongo foha ʻakinaua, kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au, ʻi he fonua ni.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ʻomi ʻakinaua kiate au, pea te u tāpuaki ʻakinaua.”

And Ioseph sayde vnto his father: they are my sonnes which God hath geuen me here. And he sayde: brynge them to me and let me blesse them.

10 Pea naʻe kui ʻae mata ʻo ʻIsileli ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene motuʻa, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ai te ne faʻa sio. Pea ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ʻo ofi kiate ia; pea naʻa ne ʻuma kiate kinaua ʻo ne fāʻufua ʻakinaua.

And the eyes of Israell were dymme for age so that he coude not see. And he broughte them to him ad he kyssed the and embraced them.

11 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosefa, “Naʻe ʻikai te u ʻamanaki ke u mamata ki ho mata; pea vakai, kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua kiate au ho hako foki.”

And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: I had not thoughte to haue sene thy face and yet loo God hath shewed it me and also thy seed.

12 Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻakinaua ʻe Siosefa mei hono tui, pea ne tulolo ia mo hono mata ki he kelekele.

And Ioseph toke them awaye from his lappe and they fell on the grounde before him.

13 Pea ʻave ʻakinaua ʻe Siosefa, ko ʻIfalemi ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hanga atu ki he nima toʻohema ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Manase ʻi hono toʻohema ʻo hanga atu ki he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ne ʻomi ʻakinaua ke ofi kiate ia.

Than toke Ioseph them both: Ephraim in his ryghte hande towarde Israels left hande ad Manasses in his left hande towarde Israels ryghte hande and brought them vnto him.

14 Pea naʻe mafao atu ʻe ʻIsileli hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻo hilifaki ia ki he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi, ʻaia ko e kimui, mo hono nima toʻohema ki he ʻulu ʻo Manase, ʻo ʻai fakapotopoto pe hono nima; he ko Manase, ko e ʻuluaki ia.

And Israel stretched out his righte hande and layde it apon Ephraims head which was the yonger and his lyft hade apon Manasses heed crossinge his handes for manasses was the elder.

15 Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻa Siosefa ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe ʻalu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, ko e ʻOtua naʻa ne fafanga au ʻi heʻeku moʻui kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni,

And he blessed Ioseph saynge: God before whome my fathers Abraham and Isaac dyd walke and the God which hath fedd me all my life longe vnto this daye

16 Ko e ʻāngelo ʻaia naʻa ne huhuʻi au mei he kovi kotoa pē, tāpuakiʻi ʻae ongo tama; pea ke ui hoku hingoa kiate kinaua, mo e hingoa ʻo ʻeku tamai ko ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake; pea tuku ke na tupu ko e kakai tokolahi ʻi māmani.”

And the angell which hath delyuered me fro all euyll blesse these laddes: yt they maye be called after my name and after my father Abraham and Isaac and that they maye growe ad multiplie apo the erth.

17 Pea kuo mamata ʻa Siosefa kuo ʻai ʻe heʻene tamai hono nima toʻomataʻu ki he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi, naʻa ne mamahi ai; pea ne hiki ʻae nima ʻo ʻene tamai ke ʻave ia mei he ʻulu ʻo ʻIfalemi ki he ʻulu ʻo Manase.

When Ioseph sawe that his father layd his ryghte hande apon the heade of Ephraim it displeased him. And he lifte vpp his fathers hade to haue removed it from Ephraims head vnto Manasses head

18 Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene tamai, “Ko ʻeku tamai ke ʻoua naʻa pehē, he ko e ʻuluaki eni: ʻai ho nima toʻomataʻu ki hono ʻulu.”

and sayde vnto his father: Not so my father for this is the eldest. Put thy right hande apon his head.

19 Pea naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe heʻene tamai, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ʻilo, ko hoku foha, ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: ʻe hoko ia foki ko e kakai tokolahi, pea ʻe lahi ia foki; ka ko e moʻoni ʻe lahi hono tehina ʻiate ia, pea ʻe hoko hono hako ko e ngaahi puleʻanga lahi.”

And his father wold not but sayde: I knowe it well my sonne I knowe it well. He shalbe also a people ad shalbe great. But of a troth his yonger brother shalbe greatter than he and his seed shall be full of people.

20 Pea naʻa ne tāpuaki ʻakinaua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻE fai tāpuaki ʻe ʻIsileli ʻiate koe, ʻo pehē, ‘Ke ngaohi koe ʻe he ʻOtua ke tatau mo ʻIfalemi mo Manase:’ pea naʻa ne tuku ʻa ʻIfalemi ki muʻa ʻia Manase.

And he blessed them sainge. At the ensample of these the Israelites shall blesse and saye: God make the as Ephraim and as Manasses. Thus sett he Ephraim before Manasses.

21 Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosefa, “Vakai teu mate au; ka ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻOtua, pea te ne toe ʻave ʻakinautolu ki he fonua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi tamai.

And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: beholde I dye. And god shalbe with you and bringe you agayne vnto the land of youre fathers.

22 Pea ko eni foki, kuo u foaki kiate koe ʻae potu lahi hake ʻe taha ʻi ho ngaahi tokoua, ʻaia naʻaku maʻu mei he nima ʻoe kakai ʻAmoli, ʻaki ʻa ʻeku heletā, mo ʻeku kaufana.”
