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.

Againe after this, one sayd to Ioseph, Loe, thy father is sicke: then hee tooke with him his two sonnes, Manasseh and Ephraim.

2 Nígbà tí a sọ fún Jakọbu pé, “Josẹfu ọmọ rẹ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ,” Israẹli rọ́jú dìde jókòó lórí ibùsùn rẹ̀.

Also one told Iaakob, and said, Behold, thy sonne Ioseph is come to thee, and Israel tooke his strength vnto him and sate vpon 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.

Then Iaakob sayde vnto Ioseph, God almightie appeared vnto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, 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 he sayde vnto me, Behold, I wil make thee fruitefull, and will multiplie thee, and will make a great number of people of thee, and will giue this lande vnto thy seede after thee for an euerlasting 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.

And now thy two sonnes, Manasseh and Ephraim, which are borne vnto thee in the lande of Egypt, before I came to thee into Egypt, shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are 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.

But the linage, which thou hast begotten after them, shalbe thine: they shall be called after the names of their brethren in their inheritance.

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).

Nowe when I came from Padan, Rahel died vpon mine hande in the lande of Canaan, by the way when there was but halfe a dayes iourney of grounde to come to Ephrath: and I buryed her there in the way to Ephrath: the same is Beth-lehem.

8 Nígbà tí Israẹli rí àwọn ọmọ Josẹfu, ó béèrè wí pé, “Àwọn wo nìyí?”

Then Israel beheld Iosephs sonnes and sayd, Whose are these?

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 Ioseph sayd vnto his father, They are my sonnes, which God hath giuen mee here. Then he sayd, I pray thee, bring them to me, that I may blesse 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.

(For the eyes of Israel were dimme for age, so that hee coulde not well see) Then he caused them to come 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 sayde vnto Ioseph, I had not thought to haue seene thy face: yet lo, God hath shewed me also thy seede.

12 Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu kó àwọn ọmọ náà kúrò ní orí eékún baba rẹ̀, ó wólẹ̀, ó sì tẹríba.

And Ioseph tooke them away from his knees, and did reuerence downe 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.

Then tooke Ioseph them both, Ephraim in his right hand towarde Israels left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israels right hand, so he brought them vnto 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 stretched out his right hand, and layde it on Ephraims head, which was the yonger, and his left hande vpon Manassehs head (directing his handes of purpose) for Manasseh was the elder.

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,

Also he blessed Ioseph and sayde, The God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Izhak did walke, the God, which hath fed me al my life long vnto this day, blesse thee.

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, which hath deliuered me from all euill, blesse the children, and let my name be named vpon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Izhak, that they may growe as fish into a multitude in the middes of 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.

But when Ioseph sawe that his father layde his right hande vpon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he stayed his fathers hand to remooue it from Ephraims head to Manassehs head.

18 Josẹfu wí fun pé, “Rárá, baba mi, èyí ni àkọ́bí, orí rẹ̀ ni kí ìwọ kí o gbé ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ lé.”

And Ioseph sayde vnto his father, Not so, my father, for this is the eldest: put thy right hand vpon 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.”

But his father refused, and sayd, I know well, my sonne, I know well: he shalbe also a people, and he shalbe great likewise: but his yonger brother shalbe greater then he, and his seede shall be full 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.

So he blessed them that day, and sayde, In thee Israel shall blesse, and say, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh. and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

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.

Then Israel said vnto Ioseph, Behold, I die, and God shall be with you, and bring you againe vnto 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.”

Moreouer, I haue giuen vnto thee one portion aboue thy brethren, which I gate out of the hand of the Amorite by my sworde and by my bowe.
