¹Huan, huaite nungin hichi ahia, Joseph kiangah, ngaiin, na pa a chi ana, achi ua. Huchiin, a tapa nihte Manassi leh Ephraim a kiangah a tonpiha,

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.

²Huan, Jakob kingah, ngaiin, na tapa Joseph na kiangah a hong hi, chiin. A hilh ua: huchiin, Israel a kihalhsaka, lupna ah a tuta a.

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

³Huan, Jakob in, Joseph kiangah, Pathian bangkim hihthei Kanan gama Luz khua ah ka kiangah a kilaka, a honvualjawla,

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

⁴Ka kiangah, chi tampi ka honsuangsak dinga, ka honhihpung lai ding, chi tuamtuam omkhawm in ka honbawl ding; huan, hiai gam na nunga na suante kiangah khantawn gou dingin ka pe ding, honchi a.

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.

⁵Huan, na tapa nihte, Aigupta gama na neihte, keia ahi uh; Ephraim leh Manassi, Reuben leh Simeon bangmah in, keia ahi ding uh.

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.

⁶Huan, hiai mite nunga ta ne neihte nanga ahi ding uh, a goutan uah a ute uh min a kikoppih mai ding uh.

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

⁷Huan, kei tungthu ahihleh, Paddan gam a kipana ka hong laiin Rakil pen Kanan gamah lamkalah, Ephtath khua a gamla kuam ahihlaiin, ka kiangah a si a: huailaiah Ephrath kho lampi ah ka vuita, (huaibel Bethlehem khua ahi), achia.

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.

⁸Huan, Israel in Joseph tapate a ena, hiaite kuate ahi ua? achia.

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

⁹Huan, Joseph in, apa kiangah, hiaite ka tapa, Pathian in hiai laia honpiak te ahi uh, achia. Huan, aman, hehpihtakin ka kiangah honpiin, amau kana vualjawl ding, achia.

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.

¹⁰Israel mit bel a upat jiakin a chim nawn kei a, huan, aman ana tawp a, ana pom a.

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.

¹¹Huan, Israel in, Joseph kiangah, na mel muh ka lamen nawn keia, himahleh, ngaiin, Pathian in, na suante mel nangawn a honmusakta hi, achia.

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

¹²Huan, Joseph in amau apa pheikal akipan a kai khia a, a maia lei siin chibai a buka.

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

¹³Huan, Joseph in a nih un a kai a, Ephraim pen a khut taklamin Israel khut veilam pangah a kai a, Manassi pen a khut veilamin Israel khut taklam pangah a kai a, honpi nai a.

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.

¹⁴Huan, Israel in a sawk kalh teitei a, a khut taklam in a sawka, Ephraim a naupang jaw siipah a nga a; Manassi lah ta masa ahi ngala.

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.

¹⁵Huan, Joseph a vualjawla, honsuangpa Abraham leh Isaak ama a a om jelna Pathian, tuni tana ka damsung tengtenga honvakpa Pathian,

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,

¹⁶Gilou tengteng a kipan hon tanpa angel in naupang te vualjawl hen; huan, ka min leh honsuangpa Abraham leh Isaak min amau minin pu uhen; huan, khovel laizang ah mipa thupitak hi dingin hongpung uhen, achia.

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.

¹⁷Huan, Joseph in apan akhut taklam Ephraim sipa a ngak a muhin a lungkim takei a; huchiin apa khut Ephraim sipa kipan Manassi sipa suan dingin a domkanga.

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.

¹⁸Huan, Joseph in, apa kiangah, pa, hichibang ding ahi kei: hiai ahi ta masa, na khut taklam a siipah nga jaw in, achia.

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

¹⁹Himahleh, apa a ut keia, ka thei hi, ka tapa aw, ka thei hi: amah leh nam a gen thamin a om sam dinga, amah leng a thupi sam ding: Ahihhangin a naupa amah sangin a thupi zo dinga, a suante leng chi tuamtuam tamtak a hong hi ding uh, achia.

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.

²⁰Huchiin, Jakob in, Israelten, Ephraim leh Manassi bangin Pathianin nang honomsak hen, chiin, noumau min louin ahon vualjawl jel ding uh, chiin huai niin, amau a vualjawl a: huchiin Ephraim Manassi maah a omsakta hi.

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.

²¹Huan, Israel mahin, Joseph kiangah, ngaiin, si ding ka hita hi: himahleh Pathian jaw na kiang uah a om ding a, nou hon suangte gamah a honpi lut nawn ding.Huailou leng, na unaute tantuan sangin tan khat in ka honpe tuan hi, ka namsau leh ka thalpeu a Amor te khut akipan ka laksak pen, achia.

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

²²Huailou leng, na unaute tantuan sangin tan khat in ka honpe tuan hi, ka namsau leh ka thalpeu a Amor te khut akipan ka laksak pen, achia.

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.
