1Tedae hekah olka a om phoeiah Joseph la, “Na pa te nue coeng ne,” a ti na uh hatah a ca rhoi Manasseh neh Ephraim te a caeh puei .
1Some time later Joseph was told, “Your father is ill.” So he set out with his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
2Te vaengah Jakob la, “Na capa Joseph nang taengla ha pawk ke,” a ti nah tih a puen pah vaengah Isreal khaw thaa a huel tih baiphaih dongah ngol.
2When Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has come to you,” Israel rallied his strength and sat up in bed.
3Te phoeiah Jakob loh Joseph la, “Pathen Tlungthang loh Kanaan kho kah Luz ah kai taengla ha phoe tih kai yoethen m'paek vaengah,
3Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and there He blessed me
4kai taengah, “Kamah loh nang kam pungtai sak vetih kam ping sak vaengah pilnam hlangping la kan khueh ni. Khohmuen he khaw nang hnukah na tiingan taengah kumhal khohut la ka paek ni, ' a ti.
4and told me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you; I will make you a multitude of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession.’
5Te dongah nang taengah Egypt la ka pawk hlankah, nang loh Egypt kho kah na cun, na ca rhoi te, kai kah ni. Ephraim neh Manasseh khaw Reuben neh Simeon bangla kamah ca boeiloeih ni.
5And now your two sons born to you in Egypt before I came to you here shall be reckoned as mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, just as Reuben and Simeon are mine.
6Tedae amih rhoi phoeikah na sak na pacaboeina te tah namah ham om saeh lamtah a maya rhoi kah a ming neh a rho te thui thil saeh.
6Any children born to you after them shall be yours, and they shall be called by the names of their brothers in the territory they inherit.
7Kai khaw Paddan lamkah ka bal vaengah kamah taengkah Rakhel loh Kanaan kho kah longpueng ah duek. Te vaengah Epharath la caeh ham khaw kho te a lak om pueng. Te dongah anih te Bethlehem Epharath long ah pahoi ka up,” a ti nah.
7Now as for me, when I was returning from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died along the way in the land of Canaan, some distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there beside the road to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem).
8Te phoeiah Israel loh Joseph ca rhoi te a sawt tih, “Amih rhoi he ulae?,” a ti nah.
8When Israel saw the sons of Joseph, he asked, “Who are these?”
9Te dongah Joseph loh a napa te, “Amih rhoi he Pathen loh he rhoek ah kai ham a khueh ka ca rhoi ni,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Kai taengla han khuen rhoi lamtah yoethen ka pae rhoi pawn ni,” a ti nah.
9Joseph said to his father, “They are the sons God has given me in this place.” So Jacob said, “Please bring them to me, that I may bless them.”
10Israel mik khaw kum loh a talh tih a hmuh hamla noeng voel pawh. Te dongah camoe rhoi te a taengla a thoeih pah. Te vaengah amih rhoi te a mok tih a kop.
10Now Israel’s eyesight was poor because of old age; he could hardly see. Joseph brought his sons to him, and his father kissed them and embraced them.
11Te vaengah Israel loh Joseph te, “Nang kah maelhmai hmuh ham pataeng ka thangthui voel pawt dae na ca rhoek khaw Pathen loh kai n'tueng coeng he,” a ti nah.
11“I never expected to see your face again,” Israel said to Joseph, “but now God has let me see your children as well.”
12Te phoeiah Joseph loh a napa khuklu dong kah a ca rhoi te a loh tih a tal neh diklai la bakop.
12Then Joseph removed his sons from his father’s knees and bowed facedown.
13Tedae Joseph loh camoe rhoi te a khuen. Isreal kah banvoei benla khueh ham amah kah bantang kut dongah Ephraim, Isreal kah bantang benla a banvoei kut dongah Manasseh a mawt tih thoeih phai.
13And Joseph took both of them—with Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel’s right hand—and brought them close to him.
14Tedae Israel taengah a pha vaengah a noe Ephraim kah a lu vik te bantang kut a tloeng thil. Manasseh te a caming daeta a kut a cungvaeh tih Manasseh kah lu dongah banvoei kut a tloeng.
14But Israel stretched out his right hand and put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger; and crossing his hands, he put his left on Manasseh’s head, although Manasseh was the firstborn.
15Te phoeiah Joseph te yoethen a paek tih, “A pa rhoek Abraham neh Isaak hmai ah aka caeh puei Pathen, tahae khohnin due ka hingnah boeih neh kai aka dawn Pathen,
15Then he blessed Joseph and said: “May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day,
16Yoethaenah cungkuem lamkah kai aka tlan puencawn loh camoe rhoi he yoethenpae saeh lamtah, kai ming khaw, a pa Abraham neh Isaak ming khaw amih rhoi dongah phuk thil saeh. Diklai hman ah pungtai rhoi saeh lamtah ping rhoi saeh,” a ti nah.
16the angel who has redeemed me from all harm— may He bless these boys. And may they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they grow into a multitude upon the earth.”
17Tedae Ephraim kah a lu ah a napa loh bantang kut a tloeng te Joseph loh a hmuh vaengah a mik lolh tih Ephraim lu dong lamkah Manasseh kah lu dong la thoeih ham a napa kut te a doek pah tih,
17When Joseph saw that his father had placed his right hand on Ephraim’s head, he was displeased and took his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s.
18Joseph loh a napa la, “A pa tlam moenih, anih caming kah a lu dongah na bantang kut tloeng saw ,” a ti nah.
18“Not so, my father!” Joseph said. “This one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”
19Tedae a napa loh a aal tih, “Ka ca ka ming, anih he pilnam la a om khaw ka ming. Te dongah anih khaw rhoeng ni. Tedae a mana a noe he anih lakah rhoeng vetih a tiingan te namtom hlangping la om ni,” a ti nah.
19But his father refused. “I know, my son, I know!” he said. “He too shall become a people, and he too shall be great; nevertheless, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his offspring shall become a multitude of nations.”
20Tekah khohnin ah amih rhoi te yoethen a paek hatah, “Nang rhang neh Pathen loh Isreal te a yoethen sak saeh, nang he Ephraim neh Manasseh bangla khueh saeh,” a ti nah tih Manasseh hmai ah Ephraim a khueh.
20So that day Jacob blessed them and said: “By you shall Israel pronounce this blessing: ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’” So he put Ephraim before Manasseh.
21Te phoeiah Israel loh Joseph la, “Kai ka duek cakhaw nang taengah Pathen om vetih na pa kho la nang n'khuen bit ni ne.
21Then Israel said to Joseph, “Look, I am about to die, but God will be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers.
22Te dongah kamah loh Amori kut lamkah cunghang palaa neh ka lat khokong pakhat te na manuca rhoek kah a soah nang kan paek thil,” a ti nah.
22And to you, as one who is above your brothers, I give the ridge of land that I took from the Amorites with my sword and bow.”
