1After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh 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.
2Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the 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.
3Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and 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 said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your offspring after you 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.
5Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine.
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.
6Your offspring, whom you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
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.
7As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (also 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.
8Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?”
8A ike aku la o Iseraela i na keiki a Iosepa, ninau aku la ia, Owai laua nei?
9Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” He said, “Please bring them to me, and I will 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.
10Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he couldn’t see well. Joseph brought them near to him; and he kissed them, 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.
11Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”
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.
12Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
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.
13Joseph 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 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.
14Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
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.
15He blessed Joseph, and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to 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 who has 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. Let them 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.
17When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head.
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.
18Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on 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.
19His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a multitude of 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.
20He blessed them that day, saying, “Israel will bless in your name, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before Manasseh.
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.
21Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to 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.
22Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my 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.
