Genesis 48
1 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀ si, a wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Baba rẹ ń ṣàìsàn,” nítorí náà, ó mú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ méjèèjì, Manase àti Efraimu lọ́wọ́ lọ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And it came to pass after these things, that it was reported to Joseph, Behold, your father is ill; and, having taken his two sons, Manasse and Ephraim, he came to Jacob.
2 Nígbà tí a sọ fún Jakọbu pé, “Josẹfu ọmọ rẹ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ,” Israẹli rọ́jú dìde jókòó lórí ibùsùn rẹ̀.
And it was reported to Jacob, saying, Behold, your son Joseph comes to you; and Israel having strengthened himself, sat upon the bed.
3 Jakọbu wí fún Josẹfu pé, “El-Ṣaddai, fi ara hàn mí ní Lusi ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, níbẹ̀ ni ó sì ti súre fún mi.
And Jacob said to Joseph, My God appeared to me in Luza, in the land of Chanaan, and blessed me,
4 Ó sì wí fún mi pé, ‘Èmi yóò mú kí o bí sí i, ìwọ yóò sì pọ̀ sí i, èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá, èmi yóò sì fún ìwọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ lẹ́yìn rẹ ní ilẹ̀ yìí gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ìní ayérayé.’
and said to me, Behold, I will increase you, and multiply you, and will make of you multitudes of nations; and I will give this land to you, and to your seed after you, for an everlasting possession.
5 “Nítorí náà báyìí, àwọn ọmọ rẹ méjèèjì tí a bí fún ọ ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, kí èmi kí ó tó tọ̀ ọ́ wá ní ìhín, ni mo sọ di ọmọ mi fúnra mi. Manase àti Efraimu yóò jẹ́ tèmi gẹ́gẹ́ bí Reubeni àti Simeoni ti jẹ́ tèmi.
Now then your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt, before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasse, as Ruben and Symeon they shall be mine.
6 Àwọn ọmọ mìíràn tí ìwọ bá bí lẹ́yìn wọn yóò jẹ́ ọmọ rẹ. Ní ilẹ̀ tí wọn yóò jogún, orúkọ arákùnrin wọn ni a ó máa fi pè wọ́n.
And the children which you shall beget hereafter, shall be in the name of their brethren; they shall be named after their inheritances.
7 Bí mo ti ń padà láti Padani, Rakeli kú ní ọ̀nà nígbà tí ó ṣì wà ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, èyí tó mú ìbànújẹ́ bá mi, níbi tí kò jìnnà sí Efrata. Nítorí náà èmí sì sin ín sí ẹ̀bá ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí Efrata” (tí ṣe Bẹtilẹhẹmu).
And as for me, when I came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, Rachel, your mother, died in the land of Chanaan, as I drew night to the horse-course of Chabratha of the land [of Chanaan], so as to come to Ephratha; and I buried her in the road of the course; this is Bethlehem.
8 Nígbà tí Israẹli rí àwọn ọmọ Josẹfu, ó béèrè wí pé, “Àwọn wo nìyí?”
And when Israel saw the sons of Joseph, he said, Who are these to you?
9 Josẹfu fún baba rẹ̀ lésì pé, “Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọmọkùnrin tí Ọlọ́run ti fi fún mi ní ìhín.” Nígbà náà ni Israẹli wí pé, “Kó wọn wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi kí èmi kí ó ba à le súre fún wọn.”
And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God gave me here; and Jacob said, Bring me them, that I may bless them.
10 Báyìí, ojú Israẹli ti ń di bàìbàì nítorí ogbó, agbára káká sì ni ó fi ń ríran. Josẹfu sì kó àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ súnmọ́ ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀, baba rẹ̀ fẹnukò wọ́n ni ẹnu, ó sì dì mọ́ wọn.
Now the eyes of Israel were dim through age, and he could not see; and he brought them near to him, and he kissed them, and embraced them.
11 Israẹli wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Èmi kò lérò rárá pé, mo tún le rí ojú rẹ mọ́ láéláé, ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run tún fún mi ní àǹfààní, mo sì tún rí àwọn ọmọ rẹ pẹ̀lú.”
And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I have not been deprived of [seeing] your face, and behold! God has showed me your seed also.
12 Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu kó àwọn ọmọ náà kúrò ní orí eékún baba rẹ̀, ó wólẹ̀, ó sì tẹríba.
And Joseph brought them out from [between] his knees, and they did reverence to him, with their face to the ground.
13 Josẹfu sì mú àwọn méjèèjì, Efraimu ni o fi sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún òun tìkára rẹ̀, èyí tí í ṣe ọwọ́ òsì fún Israẹli, ó sì fi Manase sí ọwọ́ òsì ara rẹ̀, èyí tí ó bọ́ sí ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Israẹli.
And Joseph took his two sons, both Ephraim in his right hand, but on the left of Israel, and Manasse on his left hand, but on the right of Israel, and brought them near to him.
14 Israẹli sì na ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ jáde, ó sì gbe lé Efraimu lórí, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé òun ni àbúrò, ó sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tàsé ara wọn, ó sì na ọwọ́ òsì lé Manase lórí, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Manase ni àkọ́bí.
But Israel having stretched out his right hand, laid it on the head of Ephraim, and he was the younger; and his left hand on the head of Manasse, [guiding] his hands crosswise.
15 Nígbà náà ni ó súre fún Josẹfu wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ kí Ọlọ́run, ẹni tí baba mi Abrahamu àti Isaaki rìn níwájú rẹ̀, Ọlọ́run tí ó ti jẹ́ olùtọ́jú àti aláàbò mi ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé mi títí di òní,
And he blessed them and said, The God in whose sight my fathers were well pleasing, [even] Abraam and Isaac, the God who continues to feed me from my youth until this day;
16 Angẹli tí ó dá mi ní ìdè kúrò lọ́wọ́ gbogbo ewu, kí ó súre fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin wọ̀nyí. Kí a máa fi orúkọ mi pè wọ́n àti orúkọ àwọn baba mi Abrahamu àti Isaaki, kí wọn kí ó sì pọ̀ sí i lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ lórí ilẹ̀ ayé.”
the angel who delivers me from all evils, bless these boys, and my name shall be called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraam and Isaac; and let them be increased to a great multitude on the earth.
17 Nígbà tí Josẹfu rí i pé baba òun gbé ọwọ́ ọ̀tún lé Efraimu lórí, inú rẹ̀ bàjẹ́, ó sì gbá ọwọ́ baba rẹ̀ mú láti gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ kúrò lórí Efraimu lọ sí orí Manase.
And Joseph having seen that his father put his right hand on the head of Ephraim—it seemed grievous to him; and Joseph took hold of the hand of his father, to remove it from the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasse.
18 Josẹfu wí fun pé, “Rárá, baba mi, èyí ni àkọ́bí, orí rẹ̀ ni kí ìwọ kí o gbé ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ lé.”
And Joseph said to his father, Not so, father; for this is the firstborn; lay your right-hand upon his head.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n baba rẹ̀ kò gbà, ó wí pé, “Mo mọ̀, ọmọ mi, mo mọ̀. Òun náà yóò di orílẹ̀-èdè, òun náà yóò sì di ńlá. Ṣùgbọ́n àbúrò rẹ̀ yóò di ẹni ńlá jù ú lọ, irú-ọmọ rẹ yóò sì di ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè.”
And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be exalted, but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
20 Ó súre fún wọn lọ́jọ́ náà pé, “Ní orúkọ yín ni Israẹli yóò máa súre yìí pé, ‘Kí Ọlọ́run ṣe ọ́ bí i ti Efraimu àti Manase.’” Ó sì gbé Efraimu gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀gbọ́n sí Manase.
And he blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel be blessed, saying, God make you as Ephraim and Manasse; and he set Ephraim before Manasse.
21 Nígbà náà ni Israẹli wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Ọjọ́ ikú mi súnmọ́ etílé, ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run yóò wà pẹ̀lú yín, yóò sì mú un yín padà sí ilẹ̀ àwọn baba yín.
And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God shall be with you, and restore you to the land of your fathers.
22 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú èmi yóò fún ọ ní ìpín kan ju ti àwọn arákùnrin rẹ lọ. Ilẹ̀ tí mo fi idà àti ọ̀kọ̀ mi gbà lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Amori.”
And I give to you Sicima, a select portion above your brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and bow.
