Genesis 48
1 After these things were done, it was reported to Joseph that his father was sick. And taking his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim, he went directly to him.
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 it was told to the old man, “Behold, your son Joseph is coming to you.” And being strengthened, he sat up in 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 when he had entered to him, he said: “Almighty God appeared to me at Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, and he blessed me.
Hichun Jacob in Joseph chu ahoulimpin, “Pathen hatchungnung in Luz muna Canaan gam'a eiki mupi chun phatthei eiboh e ati.
4 And he said: ‘I will increase and multiply you, and I will make you influential among the people. And I will give this land to you, and to your offspring after you, as an everlasting possession.’
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 Therefore, your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came here to you, will be mine. Ephraim and Manasseh will be treated by me just like Reuben and Simeon.
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 But the remainder, whom you will conceive after them, will be yours, and they will be called by the name of their brothers among their possessions.
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 As for me, when I came from Mesopotamia, Rachel died in the land of Canaan on the very journey, and it was springtime. And I entered Ephrath and buried her next to the way of Ephrath, which by another name is called Bethlehem.”
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, seeing his sons, he said to him: “Who are these?”
Hichun Jacob in chapang teni chu aven adong kit in “hiche chapang teni hi nangma chate ham ati.”
9 He responded, “They are my sons, whom God gave to me as a gift in this place.” “Bring them to me,” he said, “so that I may bless them.”
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 For Israel’s eyes were clouded by reason of his great age, and he was unable to see clearly. And when they were placed up against him, he kissed and embraced them.
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 he said to his son: “I have not been cheated out of seeing you. Moreover, God has shown me your offspring.”
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 And when Joseph had taken them from his father’s lap, he reverenced prone on the ground.
Hichun Joseph in achateni chu apa Israel khup akon in akhin doh in amai tolang angan abohkhup tai.
13 And he placed Ephraim on his right, that is, towards the left hand of Israel. Yet truly Manasseh was on his left, namely, towards his father’s right hand. And he placed them both up against 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 he, extending his right hand, placed it over the head of Ephraim, the younger brother, but the left hand was on the head of Manasseh, who was the elder, so that his hands were crossed.
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 Jacob blessed the sons of Joseph, and he said: “God, in whose sight my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, walked; God, who pastured me from my youth until the present 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 rescues me from all evils: bless these boys. And let my name be invoked over them, and also the names of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac. And may they increase into a multitude across 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 But Joseph, seeing that his father had placed his right hand over the head of Ephraim, took it gravely. And grasping his father’s hand, he tried to lift it from Ephraim’s head and transfer it onto 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 he said to his father: “It should not have come to pass this way, father. For this one is the firstborn. Place your right hand over his head.”
“Hepa ahipoi ati amapa joh hi apeng masa ahi bouve, nangma khut jetlam chu Manasseh chung joh ahin ngamtan,” ati.
19 But refusing, he said: “I know, my son, I know. And this one, indeed, will be among the people and will be multiplied. But his younger brother will be greater than he. And his offspring will increase among the 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 And he blessed them at that time, saying: “In you, Israel will be blessed, and it will be said: ‘May God treat you like Ephraim, and like Manasseh.’” And he established 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 And he said to his son Joseph: “See, I am dying, and God will be with you, and he will lead 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 I give you one part beyond that of your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite 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.
