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.
1 I go no, hayey din banda, kal i ne Yusufu se: «Guna, ni baaba sinda baani.» Nga mo na nga ize hinka sambu ka kond'ey nga banda, Manasse da Ifraymu.
2And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
2 I ci Yakuba se ka ne: «Ni izo Yusufu neeya, a goono ga kaa ni do.» Israyla mo te bine-gaabi ka goro dima boŋ.
3And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
3 Yakuba ne Yusufu se: «Irikoy, Hina-Kulu-Koyo bangay ay se Luz ra, Kanaana laabo ra, a n'ay albarkandi mo.
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.
4 A ne ay se mo: ‹A go, ay ga ni no ize boobo, ay ga naŋ ni ma baa ka tonton, ay ga ni ciya mo dumi jama. Ay ga laabu woone no ni dumo se ni banda, a ma ciya araŋ wane hal abada.›
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.
5 Sohõ binde, ize hinka wo kaŋ yaŋ i hay ni se Misira laabo ra za ay mana kaa ni do Misira ra, ay wane yaŋ no. Sanda mate kaŋ cine Ruben da Simeyon ya ay wane yaŋ no, yaadin cine mo no Ifraymu da Manasse ga ciya ay wane yaŋ.
6And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
6 Amma ni hayyaŋ kaŋ ni ga hay i banda, woodin yaŋ ga ti ni wane. I g'i maa ce i nya izey maayey boŋ i tubo ra.
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.
7 Amma ay wo, waato kaŋ ay tun Padan-Aram, Rahila bu ay se Kanaana fonda boŋ, diraw kayna ga cindi iri jine hal iri ga to Efrata. Ay mo n'a fiji noodin fonda kaŋ ga koy Efrata boŋ, kaŋ ga ti Baytlahami.»
8And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
8 Israyla di Yusufu izey ka ne: «Borey wo, mayyaŋ no?»
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.
9 Yusufu ne nga baabo se: «Woone yaŋ ay izey kaŋ Irikoy n'ay no neewo yaŋ no.» Israyla ne: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma kand'ey ay do, ay ma albarka gaara i se.»
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.
10 Amma Israyla moy ga tin zeenay sabbay se hal a si hin ka di. Yusufu kand'ey a jarga, nga mo n'i sambu, k'i garbey sunsum, k'i ganday.
11And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath showed me also thy seed.
11 Israyla ne Yusufu se: «Ay mana tammahã hal ay ga di ni moyduma. A go mo, Irikoy naŋ ay di ni izey mo.»
12And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
12 Yusufu n'i kaa baabo kangey boŋ. A sombu hala moyduma to ganda.
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.
13 Yusufu n'i boro hinka sambu, Ifraymu a kambe ŋwaaro gaa ka koy Israyla kambe wow gaa haray, Manasse mo a kambe wow gaa ka koy Israyla kambe ŋwaaro gaa haray. A kond'ey a jarga.
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.
14 Israyla mo na nga kambe ŋwaaro salle, a n'a dake Ifraymu boŋo boŋ, nga kaŋ ga ti ikayna, a kambe wow mo, a n'a dake Manasse boŋo boŋ. A laakalo boŋ mo no a na nga kambey dake yaadin cine, zama Manasse ga ti hay-jina.
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,
15 A na albarka gaara mo Yusufu se ka ne: «Irikoyo kaŋ jine ay kaayey Ibrahim da Isaka dira, Irikoyo kaŋ n'ay haggoy ay fundi jirbey kulu ra hala hunkuna,
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.
16 Malayka kaŋ n'ay fansa laala kulu gaa, a ma albarka daŋ arwasey wo gaa. I m'ay maa ci i boŋ, d'ay kaayey maayey, kaŋ ga ti Ibrahim da Isaka. I ma beeri hal i ma ciya jama ndunnya bindo ra.»
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.
17 Amma waato kaŋ Yusufu di nga baabo na nga kambe ŋwaaro dake Ifraymu boŋ, woodin mana kaan a se. Kal a na nga baabo kamba di, zama nga m'a ganandi Ifraymu boŋ k'a ye Manasse boŋ.
18And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
18 Yusufu ne nga baabo se: «Manti yaadin no, ya ay baaba, zama woone ga ti hay-jina. Kala ni ma ni kambe ŋwaaro dake a boŋ.»
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.
19 Amma a baabo wangu. A ne: «Ay bay, ay izo, ay bay. Nga mo ga ciya kunda, a ga beeri mo. Amma a kayno ga beeri ka bis'a. A izey mo ga ciya kunda jama.»
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.
20 A na albarka gaara i se zaaro din ra ka ne: «Araŋ do no Israyla ga albarka daŋ ka ne: ‹Irikoy ma ni ciya Ifraymu nda Manasse cine.› » A na Ifraymu gaabandi mo ka bisa Manasse.
21And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
21 Israyla ne Yusufu se: «Guna, ay ga bu. Amma Irikoy ga goro araŋ banda. A ga ye ka konda araŋ mo hal araŋ kaayey laabo ra.
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.
22 Koyne, ay na ni no baa fo ka bisa ni nya-izey waney, baa kaŋ ay ta Amorancey kambe ra d'ay takuba d'ay birawo mo.»
