1 Poslije nekog vremena jave Josipu: “Eno ti je otac obolio.” Nato on uzme sa sobom svoja dva sina, Manašea i Efrajima.

After these deades tydiges were brought vnto Ioseph: that his father was seke. And he toke with him his ij. sones Manasses and Ephraim.

2 Kad Jakovu rekoše: “Evo ti je došao sin Josip”, Izrael skupi svoje snage i sjede na postelju.

Then was it sayde vnto Iacob: beholde thy sonne Ioseph commeth vnto the. And Israel toke his strength vnto him and satt vp on the bedd

3 Reče Jakov Josipu: “Bog Svemožni, El Šadaj, objavi mi se u Luzu, u zemlji kanaanskoj; blagoslov mi dade,

and sayde vnto Ioseph: God all mightie appeared vnto me at lus in the lande of Canaan ad blessed me

4 a potom mi reče: 'Učinit ću te rodnim i mnogobrojnim, učinit ću da postaneš skup naroda, a tvome potomstvu poslije tebe dat ću ovu zemlju u posjed zauvijek.'

and sayde vnto me: beholde I will make the growe and will multiplye the and will make a great nombre of people of the and will geue this lande vnto the and vnto thy seed after ye vnto an euerlastinge possession.

5 Sad, oba tvoja sina što su ti se rodila u zemlji egipatskoj, prije nego sam ja stigao k tebi u Egipat, neka budu moji - Efrajim i Manaše neka budu moji kao i Ruben i Šimun!

Now therfore thy. ij. sones Manasses ad Ephraim which were borne vnto the before I came to the in to Egipte shalbe myne: euen as Ruben and Simeo shall they be vnto me.

6 A djeca što su ti se rodila poslije njih neka ostanu tvoja; a u svom nasljedstvu neka se zovu po imenu svoje braće.

And the childern which thou getest after them shalbe thyne awne: but shalbe called with the names of their brethern in their enheritaunces.

7 Kad sam se, naime, vraćao iz Padana, na moju žalost, tvoja majka Rahela umrije na putovanju u kanaansku zemlju, tek u maloj udaljenosti od Efrate. Sahranio sam je ondje uz put u Efratu, sadašnji Betlehem.”

And after I came from Mesopotamia Rahel dyed apon my hande in the lande of Canaa by the waye: when I had but a feldes brede to goo vnto Ephrat. And I buried her there in ye waye to Ephrat which is now called Bethlehem.

8 Opazivši Izrael Josipove sinove, zapita: “Tko su ovi?”

And Israel behelde Iosephes sonnes and sayde: what are these?

9 Josip odgovori svome ocu: “Sinovi su to moji koje mi je Bog dao ovdje.” “Dovedi mi ih da ih blagoslovim”, reče.

And Ioseph sayde vnto his father: they are my sonnes which God hath geuen me here. And he sayde: brynge them to me and let me blesse them.

10 Izraelu oči oslabile od starosti, nije vidio. Zato mu privede sinove, a on ih poljubi i zagrli.

And the eyes of Israell were dymme for age so that he coude not see. And he broughte them to him ad he kyssed the and embraced them.

11 Potom Izrael reče Josipu: “Nisam očekivao da ću još ikada vidjeti tvoje lice; kad, evo, Bog mi dade da vidim i tvoje potomke.”

And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: I had not thoughte to haue sene thy face and yet loo God hath shewed it me and also thy seed.

12 Josip ih tada skine s njegovih koljena i duboko se, sve do zemlje, nakloni.

And Ioseph toke them awaye from his lappe and they fell on the grounde before him.

13 Nato ih uze Josip obojicu - Efrajima svojom desnicom, Izraelu nalijevo, a Manašea svojom ljevicom, Izraelu nadesno - te ih k njemu primače.

Than toke Ioseph them both: Ephraim in his ryghte hande towarde Israels left hande ad Manasses in his left hande towarde Israels ryghte hande and brought them vnto him.

14 Ali Izrael ispruži svoju desnicu i stavi je na Efrajimovu glavu, premda je bio mlađi, a svoju ljevicu na glavu Manašeovu - tako je držao ruke unakrst - iako je Manaše bio prvorođenac.

And Israel stretched out his righte hande and layde it apon Ephraims head which was the yonger and his lyft hade apon Manasses heed crossinge his handes for manasses was the elder.

15 Tako je davao svoj blagoslov Josipu govoreći: “Bog, čijim su putovima hodili oci moji Abraham i Izak, Bog, koji mi je pastir bio otkako postah pa do danas,

And he blessed Ioseph saynge: God before whome my fathers Abraham and Isaac dyd walke and the God which hath fedd me all my life longe vnto this daye

16 anđeo koji me od svakog zla izbavljao - djecu ovu neka blagoslovi! Neka se ime moje i mojih pređa Abrahama i Izaka po njima spominje! U mnoštva se mnogobrojna po zemlji razmnožili!”

And the angell which hath delyuered me fro all euyll blesse these laddes: yt they maye be called after my name and after my father Abraham and Isaac and that they maye growe ad multiplie apo the erth.

17 Kad je Josip vidio da je njegov otac položio desnicu na Efrajimovu glavu, njegovim se očima to učini krivo; zato posegne za rukom svoga oca da je pomakne s Efrajimove glave na glavu Manašeovu.

When Ioseph sawe that his father layd his ryghte hande apon the heade of Ephraim it displeased him. And he lifte vpp his fathers hade to haue removed it from Ephraims head vnto Manasses head

18 “Ne tako, oče moj,” reče Josip svome ocu, “jer ovo je prvorođenac; zato stavi desnicu na njegovu glavu!”

and sayde vnto his father: Not so my father for this is the eldest. Put thy right hande apon his head.

19 Ali njegov otac to odbije rekavši: “Znam ja, sine moj, znam; i od njega će postati narod i bit će velik. Ali njegov mlađi brat bit će veći od njega, a njegovo će potomstvo biti mnoštvo.”

And his father wold not but sayde: I knowe it well my sonne I knowe it well. He shalbe also a people ad shalbe great. But of a troth his yonger brother shalbe greatter than he and his seed shall be full of people.

20 Onoga ih, dakle, dana blagoslovi rekavši: “Vama nek' se Izrael blagoslivlja govoreći: Kao što je Efrajimu i Manašeu, nek' i tebi Bog učini!” Tako stavi Efrajima pred Manašea.

And he blessed them sainge. At the ensample of these the Israelites shall blesse and saye: God make the as Ephraim and as Manasses. Thus sett he Ephraim before Manasses.

21 Poslije Izrael reče Josipu: “Ja ću, evo, naskoro umrijeti; no Bog će biti s vama i opet vas dovesti u zemlju vaših otaca.

And Israel sayde vnto Ioseph: beholde I dye. And god shalbe with you and bringe you agayne vnto the land of youre fathers.

22 A tebi ostavljam Šekem, nešto više nego tvojoj braći, što sam ga svojim mačem i lukom osvojio od Amorejaca.”

Moreouer I geue vnto the a porcyon of lande aboue thy brethern which I gatt out of the handes of the Amorites with my swerde and wyth my bowe.
