1 W axyaalahaas ka dib waxaa Yuusuf lagu yidhi, Bal eeg, aabbahaa waa bukaaye. Markaasuu wuxuu kaxaystay labadiisii wiil oo ahaa Manaseh iyo Efrayim.

And it cometh to pass, after these things, that saith to Joseph, `Lo, thy father is sick;' and he taketh his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim.

2 K olkaasaa waxaa Yacquub loo soo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Bal eeg, wiilkaagii Yuusuf baa kuu imanaya. Markaasaa Israa'iil intuu xoog isgeliyey ayuu soo dul fadhiistay sariirtiisii.

And declareth to Jacob, and saith, `Lo, thy son Joseph is coming unto thee;' and Israel doth strengthen himself, and sit upon the bed.

3 M arkaasaa Yacquub wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ayaa iigu muuqday Luus oo ku taal dalka Kancaan, wuuna i barakeeyey,

And Jacob saith unto Joseph, `God Almighty hath appeared unto me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesseth me,

4 o o wuxuu igu yidhi, Bal eeg waan ku badin doonaa, waanan ku tarmin doonaa, oo waxaan kaa dhigi doonaa dad fara badan; dhulkanna waxaan siin doonaa farcankaaga kaa dambeeya, inuu hanti aan weligeed dhammaanayn u ahaado.

and saith unto me, Lo, I am making thee fruitful, and have multiplied thee, and given thee for an assembly of peoples, and given this land to thy seed after thee, a possession age-during.

5 H addaba labadaadii wiil oo dalka Masar kuugu dhashay, intaanan kuugu iman Masar, anigaa iska leh. Efrayim iyo Manaseh ayaan u lahaan doonaa sida Ruubeen iyo Simecoon.

`And now, thy two sons, who are born to thee in the land of Egypt, before my coming unto thee to Egypt, mine they; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon they are mine;

6 C arruurta aad iyaga ka dib dhasho, adigaa iska lahaan doona, waana in loo bixiyo magacyada walaalahood markay wax dhaxlaan.

and thy family which thou hast begotten after them are thine; by the name of their brethren they are called in their inheritance.

7 A nigana, markii aan ka imid Fadan ayaa Raaxeel igaga dhimatay dalkii Kancaan waddada loo maro, intaanan weli Efrad soo gaadhin; oo kolkaasaan iyadii ku aasay waddada loo maro Efrad, meeshaasuna waa Beytlaxam.

`And I -- in my coming in from Padan- Rachel hath died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet a kibrath of land to enter Ephrata, and I bury her there in the way of Ephrata, which Bethlehem.'

8 M arkaasaa Israa'iil intuu wiilashii Yuusuf dhugtay ayuu yidhi, Kuwanu waa ayo?

And Israel seeth the sons of Joseph, and saith, `Who these?'

9 M arkaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Waa wiilashaydii Ilaah halkan igu siiyey. Markaasuu isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, iyaga ii soo dhowee, waanan u ducaynayaa.

and Joseph saith unto his father, `They my sons, whom God hath given to me in this;' and he saith, `Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I bless them.'

10 H addaba Israa'iil cimrigiisii dheeraa aawadiis ayuu la indha darnaaday, sidaas daraaddeed waxba ma uu arki karin. Kolkaasuu iyagii u soo dhoweeyey, wuuna isku duubay oo dhunkaday.

And the eyes of Israel have been heavy from age, he is unable to see; and he bringeth them nigh unto him, and he kisseth them, and cleaveth to them;

11 M arkaasaa Israa'iil wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Uma aan malaynayn inaan wejigaaga arki doono, oo bal eeg, Ilaah weliba wuxuu i tusay xataa farcankaagii.

and Israel saith unto Joseph, `To see thy face I had not thought, and lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.'

12 M arkaasaa Yuusuf wuxuu iyagii ka durkiyey lowyihiisii; oo intuu sujuuday ayuu wejigiisii dhulka saaray.

And Joseph bringeth them out from between his knees, and boweth himself on his face to the earth;

13 M arkaasuu Yuusuf labadoodiiba kaxeeyey, intuu Efrayim gacantiisii midigta ahayd ku qabtay oo ku toosan Israa'iil bidixdiisa, Manasehna ku qabtay bidixdiisii oo ku toosan midigtii Israa'iil, wuuna u soo dhoweeyey iyagii.

and Joseph taketh them both, Ephraim in his right hand towards Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left towards Israel's right, and bringeth nigh to him.

14 M arkaasaa Israa'iil soo fidiyey gacantiisii midigta ahayd, oo wuxuu saaray madaxii Efrayim oo kii yaraa ahaa. Gacantiisii bidixda ahaydna wuxuu saaray Manaseh madaxiisii, wuuna isdhaafiyey gacmihiisii, maxaa yeelay, Manaseh wuxuu ahaa curadkii.

And Israel putteth out his right hand, and placeth upon the head of Ephraim, who the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh; he hath guided his hands wisely, for Manasseh the first-born.

15 M arkaasuu Yuusuf u duceeyey, oo wuxuu yidhi, Ilaaha aabbahay Isxaaq iyo awowgay Ibraahim ay ku hor socdeen, oo ah Ilaaha i quudinayay intii aan noolaa oo dhan ilaa maanta,

And he blesseth Joseph, and saith, `God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked habitually: God who is feeding me from my being unto this day:

16 i yo malaa'igtii iga soo samatabbixisay xumaato oo dhan, wiilasha ha barakeeyeen; oo magacayga ha lagu magacaabo iyaga, iyo magicii aabbahay Isxaaq, iyo kii awowgay Ibraahim; oo dad faro badan dhulka ha ku noqdeen.

the Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil doth bless the youths, and my name is called upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude in the midst of the land.'

17 O o markii Yuusuf arkay in aabbihiis gacantiisii midigta ahayd Efrayim madaxiisa saaray ayuu taas ka xumaaday; markaasuu gacantii aabbihiis qabtay inuu ka qaado Efrayim madaxiisa oo uu saaro Manaseh madaxiisa.

And Joseph seeth that his father setteth his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he supporteth the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh;

18 O o Yuusufna wuxuu aabbihiis ku yidhi, Aabbahayow, saas ma aha, waayo, kanu waa curadkii ee gacantaada midigta ah madaxiisa saar.

and Joseph saith unto his father, `Not so, my father, for this the first-born; set thy right hand on his head.'

19 M arkaasaa aabbihiis diiday oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ogahay, waan ogahay, wiilkaygiiyow. Isaguna wuxuu noqon doonaa quruun, wuuna weynaan doonaa; habase yeeshee walaalkiisa ka yar baa ka weynaan doona, oo farcankiisu wuxuu noqon doonaa quruumo faro badan.

And his father refuseth, and saith, `I have known, my son, I have known; he also becometh a people, and he also is great, and yet, his young brother is greater than he, and his seed is the fulness of the nations;'

20 O o maalintaasuu u duceeyey iyagii, oo wuxuu yidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil idinkay idinku ducaysan doonaan, iyagoo leh, Ilaah ha kaa dhigo sidii Efrayim iyo sidii Manaseh. Oo Efrayimna wuxuu ka hor mariyey Manaseh.

and he blesseth them in that day, saying, `By thee doth Israel bless, saying, God set thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh;' and he setteth Ephraim before Manasseh.

21 O o Israa'iilna wuxuu Yuusuf ku yidhi, Anigu waan dhimanayaa, laakiinse Ilaah baa kula jiri doona, oo mar labaadna wuxuu ku geeyn doonaa dhulkii awowayaashaa.

And Israel saith unto Joseph, `Lo, I am dying, and God hath been with you, and hath brought you back unto the land of your fathers;

22 O o weliba waxaan ku siiyey qayb dheeraad ah, oo aad walaalahaa dheer tahay, waana tii aan reer Amor kaga qaatay seeftayda iyo qaansadayda.

and I -- I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I have taken out of the hand of the Amorite by my sword and by my bow.'
