1After these things, it was told Joseph that his father was sick: and he set out to go to him, taking his two sons Manasses and Ephraim.
1A MAHOPE iho o keia mau mea, hai aku la kekahi ia Iosepa, Ua mai kou makuakane. Lawe ae la ia i kana mau keikikane, ia Manase laua o Eperaima.
2And it was told the old man: Behold thy son Joseph cometh to thee. And being strengthened he sat on his bed.
2A hai ae la kekahi ia Iakoba, i ae la, Eia ae kau keiki o Iosepa, ke hele mai la iou nei. Hooikaika ae la o Iseraela, a noho iho la ma kahi moe.
3And when Joseph was come in to him, he said: God Almighty appeared to me at Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan: and he blessed me,
3Olelo aku la o Iakoba ia Iosepa, Ikea mai la ke Akua mana ia'u ma Luza, ma ka aina o Kanaana, a hoomaikai mai la ia ia'u.
4And he said: I will cause thee to increase and multiply, and I will make of thee a multitude of people: and I will give this land to thee, and to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
4I mai la, E hoomahuahua aku au ia oe; a e hoonui aku ia oe, a e hoolilo ia oe i lahuikanaka nui loa, a e haawi aku i keia aina, no kau poe mamo mahope ou, i hooilina mau loa.
5So thy two sons who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came hither to thee, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasses shall be reputed to me as Ruben and Simeon.
5A o na keiki au elua, i hanauia mai nau ma ka aiua i Aigupita nei, i ka wa mamua aku o ko'u hele ana mai ia oe i Aigupita nei, na'u no laua. O Eperaima a o Manase, e like me Reubena a me Simeona, pela no laua na'u.
6But the rest whom thou shalt have after them, shall be thine, and shall be called by the name of their brethren in their possessions.
6A o kau mau keiki i hanauia mai nau, mahope mai o laua e kapaia lakou ma ka inoa o ko lakou mau kaikuaana ma ko lakou noho ana.
7For, when I came out of Mesopotamia, Rachel died from me in the land of Chanaan in the very journey, and it was springtime: and I was going to Ephrata, and I buried her near the way of Ephrata, which by another name is called Bethlehem.
7I ko'u hele ana mai, mai Padana mai, make ae la o Rahela ma ko'u aoao, ma ka aina o Kanaana, ma ke ala, kokoke e hiki aku i Eperata, a kanu iho la au ia ia malaila ma ke ala ma Eperata, oia hoi o Betelehema.
8Then seeing his sons, he said to him: Who are these?
8A ike aku la o Iseraela i na keiki a Iosepa, ninau aku la ia, Owai laua nei?
9He answered: They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said: Bring them to me that I may bless them.
9I mai la o Iosepa i kona makuakane, O laua nei na keiki a'u, a ke Akua i haawi mai ai na'u ma keia wahi. I mai la kela, E hoonoho oe ia laua imua o'u, a e hoomaikai aku au ia laua.
10For Israel’s eyes were dim by reason of his great age, and he could not see clearly. And when they were brought to him, he kissed and embraced them.
10Kaumaha no na maka o Iseraela, no ka elemakule, aole hiki ia ia ke nana; a hoonoho mai kela ia laua imua ona, a honi aku la oia ia laua, a puliki iho la.
11And said to his son: I am not deprived of seeing thee: moreover God hath showed me thy seed.
11I ae la o Iseraela ia Iosepa, Aole au i manao e ike aku i kou maka, aia hoi, ua hoike mai ke Akua ia'u i kau mau keiki.
12And when Joseph had taken them from his father’s lap, he bowed down with his face to the ground.
12A lawe mai la o Iosepa ia laua mawaena mai o kona mau kuli, a kulou iho la ia me ka maka ilalo i ka honua.
13And he set Ephraim on his right hand, that is, towards the left hand of Israel; but Manasses on his left hand, to wit, towards his father’s right hand, and brought them near to him.
13Lawe iho la o Iosepa ia laua a elua, ia Eperaima i kona lima akau, ma ka lima hema o Iseraela, a ia Manase, i kona lima hema ma ka lima akau o Iseraela, a hoonoho iho la ia laua imua ona.
14But he stretching forth his right hand, put it upon the head of Ephraim the younger brother; and the left upon the head of Manasses who was the elder, changing his hands.
14Hohola aku la o Iseraela i kona lima akau, a kau iho la ma ke poo o Eperaima, oia hoi ke kaikaina, a i kona lima hema hoi, ma ke poo o Manase: kau akamai no ia i kona lima; no ka mea, o Manase ka hanau mua.
15And Jacob blessed the sons of Joseph, and said: God, in whose sight my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, God that feedeth me from my youth until this day;
15Hoomaikai mai la oia ia Iosepa, i mai la, Na ke Akua, ka mea a ko'u mau makua o Aberahama a me Isaaka i hele ae imua ona, na ke Akua nana wau i malama mai, mai ko'u wa uuku a hiki loa mai i neia la;
16The angel that delivereth me from all evils, bless these boys: and let my name be called upon them, and the names of my fathers Abraham, and Isaac, and may they grow into a multitude upon the earth.
16Na ka Anela i hoopakele mai ia'u mai loko mai o ka hewa a pau, e hoomaikai ia mau keiki, a e heaia ko'u inoa maluna o laua, a me ka inoa o ko'u makua o Aberahama, a me Isaaka, a e laha loa laua i poe nui iwaena o ka honua.
17And Joseph seeing that his father had put his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, was much displeased: and taking his father’s hand he tried to lift it from Ephraim’s head, and to remove it to the head of Manasses.
17A ike aku la o Iosepa, ua kau aku kona makuakane i kona lima akau ma ke poo o Eperaima, ua hewa ia i kona maka; hapai ae la ia i ka lima o kona makuakane e hoihoi ae, mai ke poe ae o Eperaima a i ke poo o Manase.
18And he said to his father: It should not be so, my father: for this is the firstborn, put thy right hand upon his head.
18I aku la o Iosepa i kona makuakane, Aole pela, e ko'u makuakane, o ke kaikuaana keia, e kau oe i kou lima akau maluna o kona poe.
19But he refusing, said: I know, my son, I know: and this also shall become peoples, and shall be multiplied: but this younger brother shall be greater than he: and his seed shall grow into nations.
19Hoole mai la kona makuakane, i mai la, Ua ike au, e kuu keiki, ua ike au, e lilo no hoi ia i lahuikanaka a e nui no ia, aka, o kona kaikaina, e kela aku kona nui mamua o keia, a e lilo ana ia i lahuikanaka nui loa.
20And he blessed them at that time, saying: In thee shall Israel be blessed, and it shall be said: God do to thee as to Ephraim, and as to Manasses. And he set Ephraim before Manasses.
20Hoomaikai aku la oia ia laua ia la, i aku la, iloko ou e hoomaikai aku ka Iseraela, me ka i ana aku, E hoohalike mai ke Akua ia oe me Eperaima a me Manase. Hoonoho no oia ia Eperaima mamua o Manase.
21And he said to Joseph his son: Behold I die, and God will be with you, and will bring you back into the land of your fathers.
21I mai la o Iseraela ia Iosepa, Eia hoi, na kokoke au e make, a e noho ana no ke Akua me oukou, a e hoihoi aku no ia ia oukou i ka aina o ko oukou poe makua.
22I give thee a portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorrhite with my sword and bow.
22Ua haawi hoi au in oe i kekahi puu waiwai maluna o kou poe hanauna, i ka mea a'u i loaa ai ma ka lima o ka Amora, me kuu pahikaua a me kuu kakaka.
