Genesis 48
1 Now after these things, word came to Joseph that his father was ill: and he took with him his sons Manasseh and Ephraim.
Tun hitin ahung um phat chomkhat jouin nikhat chu Joseph chu thu asei peh un, “Napa chu alha suh lheh jeng tai; hichun Joseph chu apa kimu pi din achen achate ni Ephraim le Manasseh jong akipui in ahi.
2 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.
Chuin Jacob chu aseipeh un, “Ven nachapa Joseph chu nangma kom ahin jone,” hichun Jacob atha ahung kido in alupna apat in athou doh in atoutai.
3 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,
Hichun Jacob in Joseph chu ahoulimpin, “Pathen hatchungnung in Luz muna Canaan gam'a eiki mupi chun phatthei eiboh e ati.
4 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.
Chuin aman eihoulim pin “Ven nangma kaga sah ding chule kapun sah ding chu jong le nangma chilhah tamtah'a kasem doh ding nahi; nachi lhah techu Canaan gam hi amaho nei le goudia atonsot a kapeh ding ahitai tin eihou limpi'e.
5 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.
Keima hung lhun masanga Egypt gamsunga nacha teni Manasseh le Ephraim hi keima a hiding ahi; Reuben le Simeon keija ahitobang hi amani jong hi keiya ahi lhon'e.
6 And any other offspring which you have after them, will be yours, and will be named after their brothers in their heritage.
Hinlah chapang naosen tu khonunga peng ho vang nangma a hiding ahitai; chule amaho se chu asopi ho goulo min lah aki simtha ding ahi lhon e.
7 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.
Phatkhat lai chun keima Padan- Ram lama kahung kinunglen Rachel chu Canaan gam'a athipa tan keima ho Ephrathah toh kikah gamla thim lheh nalaiyin lung kham tah in Rachel chu Ephratha Jerusalem lampi noiya kahin vuitai.”
8 Then Israel, looking at Joseph's sons, said, Who are these?
Hichun Jacob in chapang teni chu aven adong kit in “hiche chapang teni hi nangma chate ham ati.”
9 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.
Joseph in adonbut in adih e ati, “hiche chate ni hi Pathen in hiche Egypt gamsunga eipeh ahi.” Jacob in adonbut in “Amani chu keima koma hinpui nai uvin phatthei kaboh ding ahi.”
10 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.
Jacob chu akum atam phat in amittha jong alhasam lheh jeng tai, Ajeh chu aha muchen joutapoi; hichun Joseph in achateni chu apa kom Jacob naideu in ahin pui in chuin apan amani chu achop in akoiyin ahi.
11 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.
Israel in Joseph koma aseiyin, “Keiman nangma maichang mu kitdinga hi kana kigin chat lou ahitai, ahin tuhin Pathen in na chate ni jong eimusah tai,” ati.
12 Then Joseph took them from between his knees, and went down on his face to the earth.
Hichun Joseph in achateni chu apa Israel khup akon in akhin doh in amai tolang angan abohkhup tai.
13 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.
Joseph chun achate ni chu ani tah lhon in akaiyin, Ephraim chu akhut jet lam in Israel khut veilama chun akai lutpeh-in, chule Manasseh chu Israel khut jetlam a, akhut veilam in akai lut in anilhon chun amapa henga apuiluttai.
14 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.
Ahin Israel in Ephraim chu aneojo ahivangin akhut jetlam chu achunga angamtan, chule Manasseh chu apeng masa ahivang in Israel in akhut veilam chu Manasseh chunga angam tan ahi.
15 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,
Hichun Jacob in Joseph phatthei aboh in hitin aseiye, “Ka Pathen kapu Abraham kapa Isaac masanga lamkai jingpa ka Pakai kelngoi chinga hung pang jing ka hinkho pumpi tuni geiya eipui hoipa;
16 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.
Thil gilou tin chenga kona eina lhatdoh jing vantil chun chapang teni hi phatthei hin boh hen; chule amani chunga hin keima min le kapu Abraham min, kapa Isaac min hung kihedoh jing jeng hen; chujong le amani hi leiset vaipi jalah a mipi atama tam in hung pung lhon hen,” ati.
17 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.
Ahin Joseph chu alunglhai molheh jeng in apa Isaac in akhut jetlam Ephraim chunga angap jeh chun, ahin Joseph in apa khut chu atuh in ajetlam chu Manasseh chunga angap sah in akhut veilam chu Ephraim chunga angap sah tai.
18 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this is the older; put your right hand on his head.
“Hepa ahipoi ati amapa joh hi apeng masa ahi bouve, nangma khut jetlam chu Manasseh chung joh ahin ngamtan,” ati.
19 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.
Amavang apa Israel anom poi, ka hethem nai chapa keiman Manasseh jong ama chilhah te jong hunglen diu mitamtah hiding ahin anaopa amasanga hung nasa joding ahi, chule ama chilhah ho chu nam tamtah hung hiding ahibouve.
20 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.
Hichun Israel in chapang teni chu phatthei aboh in hiche ni chun ama a kona phatthei jouse aboltai; nangma min a Israel in hiche phatthei hi naboh ding ahi, Pa Pathen in nangma hi Ephraim le Manasseh bang in pung jing tahen.
21 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.
Hichun Jacob in Joseph koma aseitai, “Ven keima kathi na ding anaitai, ahin Pathen in phatthei naboh ding, chule Canaan a napu na pate gam'a nanung puikit ding ahi.
22 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.
Na sopite ho kapeh sanga nang ma lentah gam kapeh be ding nahi; chule leiset gam Amorite mite khut a kona kachoh dohsa Shechem molbih khat kapei atin ahi.
