Pirmā Mozus 48

1 Un notikās pēc tam, ka Jāzepam sacīja: redzi, tavs tēvs ir nevesels. Tad tas ņēma līdz savus divus dēlus, Manasu un Efraīmu.

Now after these things, word came to Joseph that his father was ill: and he took with him his sons Manasseh and Ephraim.

2 Un Jēkabam tapa teikts un sacīts: redzi, tavs dēls Jāzeps nāk pie tevis. Tad Israēls saņēmās spēkā un apsēdās uz gultas. Un Jēkabs sacīja uz Jāzepu:

And when they said to Jacob, Your son Joseph is coming to see you: then Israel, getting all his strength together, had himself lifted up in his bed.

3 Tas visuvarenais Dievs man ir parādījies Lūzā, Kanaāna zemē, un mani svētījis.

And Jacob said to Joseph, God, the Ruler of all, came to me in a vision at Luz in the land of Canaan, and gave me his blessing,

4 Un viņš uz mani sacījis: redzi, Es tev likšu augļoties un tevi vairošu un tevi celšu par tautu pulku, un došu šo zemi tavam dzimumam pēc tevis par mūžīgu mantu.

And said to me, Truly, I will make you fertile and give you increase and will make of you a great family of nations: and I will give this land to your seed after you to be their heritage for ever.

5 Un nu taviem diviem dēliem, kas Ēģiptē dzimuši, pirms nekā es pie tevis esmu atnācis uz Ēģipti, tiem būs būt maniem; Efraīms un Manasus būs man tāpat, kā Rūbens un Sīmeans.

And now your two sons who came to birth in Egypt before I came to you here, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, in the same way as Reuben and Simeon are.

6 Bet tavi bērni, kas tev dzims pēc viņiem, tev piederēs, tiem būs tapt nosauktiem pēc savu brāļu vārda viņu iemantojamā tiesā.

And any other offspring which you have after them, will be yours, and will be named after their brothers in their heritage.

7 Kad es nu nācu no Mezopotamijas, tad Rahēle pie manis ir nomirusi Kanaāna zemē uz ceļa, mazu gabalu no Efratas, un es viņu apraku tur Efratas ceļmalā, - un šī ir Bētleme.

And as for me, when I came from Paddan, death overtook Rachel on the way, when we were still some distance from Ephrath; and I put her to rest there on the road to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.

8 Un Israēls ieraudzīja Jāzepa dēlus un sacīja: kam šie ir?

Then Israel, looking at Joseph's sons, said, Who are these?

9 Un Jāzeps sacīja uz savu tēvu: tie ir mani dēli, ko Dievs man še devis. Un viņš sacīja: pieved jel tos pie manis, ka es tos svētīju.

And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this land. And he said, Let them come near me, and I will give them a blessing.

10 Bet Israēla acis bija tumšas no vecuma, un viņš nevarēja redzēt, un tas tos pie viņa pieveda, un viņš tos skūpstīja un tos apkampa.

Now because Israel was old, his eyes were no longer clear, and he was not able to see. So he made them come near to him, and he gave them a kiss, folding them in his arms.

11 Un Israēls sacīja uz Jāzepu: es nedomāju redzēt tavu vaigu, un raugi, Dievs man licis redzēt arī tavu dzimumu.

And Israel said to Joseph, I had no hope of seeing your face again, but God in his mercy has let me see you and your children.

12 Un Jāzeps tos ņēma no viņa klēpja un ar savu vaigu nometās pie zemes.

Then Joseph took them from between his knees, and went down on his face to the earth.

13 Un Jāzeps tos abus ņēma, Efraīmu ar savu labo roku Israēlim pa kreiso roku, un Manasu ar savu kreiso roku Israēlim pa labo roku, un tos viņam pieveda klāt.

Then taking Ephraim with his right hand, Joseph put him at Israel's left side, and with his left hand he put Manasseh at Israel's right side, placing them near him.

14 Un Israēls izstiepa savu labo roku un to lika uz Efraīma galvu, jebšu tas bija tas jaunākais, un savu kreiso roku uz Manasus galvu; viņš ar ziņu tā savas rokas lika, jebšu Manasus bija tas pirmdzimtais.

And Israel, stretching out his right hand, put it on the head of Ephraim, the younger, and his left hand on the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands on purpose, for Manasseh was the older.

15 Un viņš svētīja Jāzepu un sacīja: tas Dievs, priekš kura vaiga mani tēvi, Ābrahāms un Īzaks, staigājuši, - tas Dievs, kas mani visu mūžu līdz šai dienai ir ganījis, -

And he gave Joseph a blessing, saying, May the God to whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, gave worship, the God who has taken care of me all my life till this day,

16 Tas eņģelis, kas mani pestījis no visa ļauna, - tas lai svētī šos bērnus, ka iekš tiem mans vārds top nosaukts un manu tēvu, Ābrahāma un Īzaka, vārds, un ka tie pa pulkiem vairojās virs zemes.

The angel who has been my saviour from all evil, send his blessing on these children: and let my name and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, be given to them; and let them become a great nation in the earth.

17 Un Jāzeps redzēja, ka viņa tēvs savu labo roku lika uz Efraīma galvu, un tas viņam nepatika, un viņš satvēra sava tēva roku, to nolikdams no Efraīma galvas uz Manasus galvu.

Now when Joseph saw that his father had put his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it did not seem right to him; and lifting his father's hand he would have put it on the head of Manasseh.

18 Un Jāzeps sacīja uz savu tēvu: ne tā, mans tēvs, jo šis ir tas pirmdzimtais, liec savu labo roku uz viņa galvu.

And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the older; put your right hand on his head.

19 Bet viņa tēvs liedzās un sacīja: es to gan zinu, mans dēls, gan zinu. Arī šis būs par ļaužu pulku, un tas arī būs liels, bet tomēr viņa jaunākais brālis būs lielāks nekā viņš, un viņa dzimums būs par lielu ļaužu tautu.

But his father would not, saying, I am doing it on purpose, my son; he will certainly become a nation and a great one; but his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a great family of nations.

20 Un viņš tos svētīja tanī dienā un sacīja: iekš tevis Israēls svētīs un sacīs: lai Dievs tevi dara tā kā Efraīmu un kā Manasu, un viņš cēla Efraīmu pāri par Manasu.

So he gave them his blessing that day, saying, You will be the sign of blessing in Israel, for they will say, May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh; and he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

21 Pēc Israēls sacīja uz Jāzepu: redzi, es mirstu, bet Dievs būs ar jums un jūs vedīs atpakaļ uz jūsu tēvu zemi.

Then Israel said to Joseph, Now my death is near; but God will be with you, guiding you back to the land of your fathers.

22 Un es tev dodu vienu daļu pāri par taviem brāļiem, ko es no Amoriešu rokas esmu ņēmis ar savu zobenu un ar savu stopu.

And I have given you more than your brothers, even Shechem as your heritage, which I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow.
