Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
1Kutu pacl tok, fwackyang nu sel Joseph lah papa tumal ah mas. Ke ma inge el us wen luo natul ah, Manasseh ac Ephraim, ac som in liyal Jacob.
2Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed.
2Ke fwackyang nu sel Jacob lah Joseph wen natul el tuku, Jacob el sang kuiyal nufon ac tukakek muta fin mwe oan kial.
3Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
3Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “God Kulana El tuh sikme nu sik in acn Luz in Canaan ac akinsewowoyeyu.
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.’
4El fahk nu sik, ‘Nga ac sot tulik puspis nutum, tuh fwil nutum fah orala mutunfacl puspis. Nga fah sang facl se inge nu sin fita nutum tuh in ma lalos nwe tok.’”
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.
5Jacob el tafwelana ac fahk, “Joseph, wen luo nutum ma isusla Egypt meet liki nga tuku nu inge, ac ma nutik. Ephraim ac Manasseh ac fah oaoa in wen nutik oapana Reuben ac Simeon.
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.
6Fin ac oasr pac wen nutum tokoltal, elos ac fah tia oaoa mu ma nutik. Usru lalos uh elos ac fah eis sel Ephraim ac Manasseh.
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).”
7Nga oru ange ke sripal Rachel, nina kiom. Yohk asor luk ke el misa in acn Canaan apkuran nu Ephrath, ke nga tuh folok liki acn Mesopotamia. Nga puknilya we sisken inkanek nu Ephrath.” (Ephrath pa pangpang Bethlehem in pacl inge.)
8Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?”
8Ke Jacob el liye wen luo natul Joseph ah, el siyuk, “Su tulik ingan?”
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.”
9Ac Joseph el fahk, “Pa inge wen luo nutik ma God El ase nu sik yenu in acn Egypt.” Jacob el fahk, “Usaltalu nu yuruk, nga in akinsewowoyaltalla.”
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.
10Mutawauk in ohkla mutal Jacob ke sripen matuoh lal, ac el tia arulana liye wo. Joseph el kolla tulik luo ah nu yorol, ac el kafiseltalma nu yorol ac ngok mutaltal.
11Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your offspring also.”
11Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Nga tiana nunku mu nga ac sifilpa liye kom, a inge God El oru tuh ngan liye pac tulik nutum uh.”
12Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
12Na Joseph el srakla tulik luo ah liki finyepal Jacob, ac pasrla nwe infohk uh ye mutal.
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.
13Joseph el fililya Ephraim ke layen lasa lal Jacob, ac Manasseh ke layen layot.
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.
14Tusruktu Jacob el eklalik paol, ac filiya lac paol layot lal fin sifal Ephraim, finne el pa fusr seltal, ac lac paol lasa fin sifal Manasseh, su matu.
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,
15Na Jacob el akinsewowoyal Joseph ac fahk, “Lela tuh God, su Abraham ac Isaac papa tumuk tuh kulansap nu se, Elan akinsewowoye tulik luo inge! Lela tuh God, su kolyu nwe misenge, Elan akinsewowoyaltal!
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.”
16Lela tuh lipufan se, su moliyula liki ongoiya nukewa, in akinsewowoyaltal. Lela tuh inek ac inel Abraham ac Isaac papa tumuk, in esamyuk ke sripen tulik mukul inge! Lela tuh in pukanten tulik natultal, ac fwilin tulik natulos!”
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.
17Joseph el toasrla ke el liye lah papa tumal ah filiya lac paol layot fin sifal Ephraim. Ouinge el sruokya poun papa tumal in srakla liki fin sifal Ephraim nu fin sifal Manasseh.
18Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.”
18El fahk nu sin papa tumal ah, “Tia pa ingan, papa. Tulik se ma matu ah pa inge. Likiya lac poum layot fin sifal.”
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.”
19Papa tumal ah tia insese kac. El fahk, “Wen nutik, nga etu. Nga etu lah fwilin tulik natul Manasseh ac fah oayapa orala sie mutunfacl lulap. Tusruktu tamulel fusr lal el ac fah yohk lukel, ac fita natul fah orala mutunfacl lulap puspis.”
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.
20Ouinge el akinsewowoyaltal ke len sac, ac fahk, “Mwet Israel fah orekmakin inemtal ke elos ac fahk kas in akinsewowoye mwet uh. Elos ac fahk, ‘God Elan akinsewowoye kom oana ke El akinsewowoyal Ephraim ac Manasseh.’” Ke Jacob el oru ouinge uh, el likilya Ephraim meet lukel Manasseh.
21Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers.
21Toko Jacob el fahk nu sel Joseph, “Oana ke kom akilen uh, nga apkuran in misa, tusruktu God El ac fah wi kom ac El ac fah folokinkomla nu ke facl sin papa matu tomom.
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.”
22Nga sot nu sum acn Shechem — acn se ma wo fohk we uh, su nga tuh eisla sin mwet Amor ke mweun luk. Nga tia sang acn we nu sin tamulel wiom.”
