¹And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

¹Mokon chic coxeßxye re laj José: —Anakcuan xniman xyajel lâ yucuaß, chanqueb re. Ut laj José quixcßameb chirix xcaßbichaleb li ralal, laj Manasés ut laj Efraín. Ut queßcôeb chirilbal laj Jacob.

²And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.

²Nak laj Jacob quirabi resil nak quicuulac laj José chirilbal, quixpuersi rib chi cßojlâc chiru lix chßât.

³And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

³Ut laj Jacob quiâtinac riqßuin laj José ut quixye re: —Li Kâcuaß Dios li kßaxal nim xcuanquil, quicuulac cuiqßuin saß li naßajej Luz, li cuan Canaán. Ut aran li Kâcuaß Dios quinrosobtesi.

⁴And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.

⁴Ut quixye cue: —Lâin tinqßueheb chi qßuiânc lâ cualal âcßajol. Ut riqßuineb lâ cualal âcßajol tânimânk ru junak li nimla tenamit. Li chßochß aßin tinyechißi âcue chi junaj cua lâat ut reheb ajcuiß lâ cualal âcßajol, chan cue li Kâcuaß Dios.

⁵And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

⁵Ut li cuib lâ cualal li queßyoßla arin Egipto nak mâjiß nincßulun arin âcuiqßuin, tzßakal cualaleb ajcuiß nak nequeßcuil. Joßcan nak laj Efraín ut laj Manasés teßcuânk chokß cue joß nak cuanqueb laj Simeón ut laj Rubén.

⁶And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

⁶Ut eb li jun chßôl chic lâ cualal li teßyoßlâk, aßaneb âcue. Saß xcßabaßeb li cuib li raseb teßtzßakônk riqßuin li cßaßru teßrêchani eb aßan.

⁷And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.

⁷Nak quin-el saß li tenamit Padan-aram, yôco chi xic saß xbehil Canaán nak quicam lix Raquel lâ naß chicuu saß be. Caßchßin chic mâ nococuulac saß li naßajej Efrata nak quincßul li raylal aßan. Ut aran quinmuk li cuixakil. Belén nayeman ajcuiß re li naßajej Efrata, chan.

⁸And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?

⁸Ut laj Israel quirileb li ralal laj José ut quixpatzß re: —¿Aniheb aßin li cuanqueb arin? chan.

⁹And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.

⁹Laj José quichakßoc ut quixye re lix yucuaß: —Li Kâcuaß Dios x-osobtesin cue ut aßaneb li cualal li queßyoßla arin Egipto, chan. Ut laj Jacob quixye re, —Bânu usilal, jilosiheb chak chincßatk ut lâin tintzßâma chiru li Kâcuaß Dios nak târosobtesiheb, chan laj Israel.

¹⁰Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.

¹⁰Quichokoß saß li ru laj Israel xban lix tîxilal ut incßaß chic sa na-iloc. Laj José quixjilosiheb li ralal chixcßatk lix yucuaßchin. Ut laj Jacob quixkßaluheb ut quirutzßeb ru.

¹¹And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath showed me also thy seed.

¹¹Laj Jacob quixye re laj José: —Lâin cuan saß inchßôl nak incßaß chic tincuil âcuu. Abanan li Kâcuaß Dios xbânu usilal cue. Xcuil âcuu lâat ut xcuil ajcuiß ruheb lâ cualal, chan laj Jacob.

¹²And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

¹²Ut laj José quirisiheb lix cocßal chixbên li ruch raß lix yucuaßchin, ut quixcuikßib rib aßan chiru lix yucuaß.

¹³And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.

¹³Nak quixakli, laj José quixchap li cuib chi ralal. Quixchap laj Efraín riqßuin lix nim ukß ut quixchap laj Manasés riqßuin lix tzße. Ut nak quixjilosiheb riqßuin laj Israel, laj Manasés quicana saß xnim ukß laj Israel, ut laj Efraín quicana saß lix tzße.

¹⁴And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.

¹⁴Ut laj Israel quixjalpaki li rukß re nak lix nim ukß tixqßue saß xjolom laj Efraín li îtzßinbej, ut lix tzße ukß tixqßue saß xjolom laj Manasés li asbej.

¹⁵And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,

¹⁵Ut laj Israel quirosobtesi laj José nak quixye re chi joßcaßin: —Li Kâcuaß Dios li x-osobtesin chak reheb lin yucuaß laj Abraham, joß eb ajcuiß laj Isaac, aßan ajcuiß li Kâcuaß Dios li yô chi iloc chak cue chalen anakcuan;

¹⁶The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

¹⁶Ut aß taxak lix ángel li Dios li na-iloc cue junelic, aßan taxak chi-osobtesînk reheb li al aßin. Ut cheßtâmk taxak eb li ralal xcßajol saß incßabaß lâin joß ajcuiß saß xcßabaßeb lin xeßtônil yucuaß laj Abraham ut laj Isaac. Ut chi joßcan tânimânk ru jun nimla tenamit saß ruchichßochß xbaneb, chan.

¹⁷And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.

¹⁷Ut laj José quiril nak lix yucuaß quixqßue lix nim ukß saß xjolom laj Efraín li îtzßinbej. Incßaß quicuulac chiru. Laj José ticto quixjal li rukß lix yucuaß ut quixqßue lix nim ukß saß xbên xjolom laj Manasés.

¹⁸And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.

¹⁸Laj José quixye re lix yucuaß: —Incßaß, at inyucuaß, mâbânu chi joßcan xban nak laj Manasés, aßan li asbej. Qßue ban lâ nim ukß saß xbên xjolom aßan, chan laj José.

¹⁹And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

¹⁹Abanan laj Israel incßaß quixcßul xchßôl xbânunquil chi joßcan ut quixye, —Lâin ninnau nak aßan li asbej, at cualal. Tânimânk lix cuanquil aßan. Abanan li îtzßinbej kßaxal cuißchic numtajenak lix cuanquil chiru li asbej. Kßaxal nabaleb li ralal xcßajol li teßcuânk, chan laj Israel.

²⁰And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

²⁰Ut saß li cutan aßan laj Israel quixtzßâma chiru li Dios nak aßan taxak chi-osobtesînk reheb li cuib chi al. Ut laj Israel quixye ajcuiß reheb, —Nak junak li kalal kacßajol tixtzßâma chiru li Dios nak aßan tâosobtesînk re junak chic, joßcaßin tixye, “Li Kâcuaß Dios taxak tâosobtesînk âcue joß nak queßosobtesîc laj Efraín ut laj Manasés xban li Kâcuaß Dios,” chan laj Israel reheb. Ut chi joßcaßin laj Israel quixnimobresi xcuanquil laj Efraín chiru laj Manasés.

²¹And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

²¹Ut laj Israel quixye re laj José: —Anakcuan câmc cue lâin. Li Kâcuaß Dios taxak chicuânk êriqßuin, ex cualal incßajol. Ut aßan taxak chisukßisînk êre saß lix tenamiteb li kaxeßtônil yucuaß.Lâin numtajenak xqßuial li cßaßak re ru li xinqßue âcue chiruheb lâ cuas.

²²Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

²²Lâin numtajenak xqßuial li cßaßak re ru li xinqßue âcue chiruheb lâ cuas. Anakcuan tinkßaxtesi âcue li naßajej Siquem li xincuêchani nak xinpletic riqßuineb laj amorreo, chan laj Jacob re laj José.
