Kenehi 48

1 Na, i muri i enei mea, ka korerotia ki a Hohepa, Nana, e mate ana tou papa: a ka tango ia i ana tamariki tokorua, i a Manahi raua ko Eparaima, hei hoa mona.

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 A ka korerotia ki a Hakopa, ka meatia, Na, ko Hohepa, ko tau tama, tenei te haere mai nei ki a koe: na ka whakakaha ake a Iharaira i a ia, a ka noho ki runga i te moenga.

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 Na ka mea a Hakopa ki a Hohepa, I puta mai te Atua Kaha Rawa ki ahau i Rutu, i te whenua o Kanaana, i manaaki i ahau,

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

4 I mea ano ki ahau, Na, ka meinga koe e ahau kia hua, ka whakanui ahau i a koe, ka meinga hoki koe e ahau hei huinga iwi; a ka hoatu e ahau tenei whenua ki ou uri i muri i a koe hei kainga pumau.

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 Na, ko au tama tokorua, ko Eparaima raua ko Manahi, i whanau nei mau ki te whenua o Ihipa i mua ake o toku taenga mai ki a koe, ki Ihipa, maku ena; ka riro mai raua i ahau, ka pera ano me Reupena raua ko Himiona.

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, ko tau whanau e whanau mau i muri i a raua, mau ena; ka huaina ki a ratou te ingoa o o ratou tuakana i to ratou kainga pumau.

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

7 Ko ahau hoki, i toku haerenga mai i Parana, ka mate a Rahera ki toku taha, ki te whenua o Kanaana, ki te ara, e takoto mai ana he wahi e haere atu ai ki Eparata: a tanumia ana e ahau ki reira ki te ara ki Eparata, ara ki Peterehema.

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 A ka kite a Iharaira i nga tama a Hohepa, ka mea, Ko wai enei?

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

9 A ka mea a Hohepa ki tona papa, Ko aku tama enei i homai e te Atua ki ahau i konei. Ka mea ia, Nekehia mai nei ki ahau, kia manaaki ai ahau i a raua.

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 Na he atarua nga kanohi o Iharaira, na te koroheke hoki, kihai ia i ahei te kite atu. Na ka whakatata ia i a raua ki a ia; a ka kihi ia i a raua, ka wahi hoki i a raua.

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 Na ka mea a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, Kihai ahau i mea ka kite ahau i tou mata: kua whakakitea mai nei ano hoki e te Atua ou uri ki ahau.

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 Na ka nekehia atu raua e Hohepa i roto i ona turi, a ka piko tona mata ki te whenua.

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

13 Na ka puritia raua e Hohepa, a Eparaima e tona ringa matau ki te maui o Iharaira, a Manahi e tona maui ki te matau o Iharaira, a ka whakatata atu ia i a raua ki a ia.

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 Na ka torona e Iharaira tona ringa matau, a whakatakotoria ana e ia ki runga ki te matenga o Eparaima, ko ia ano hoki te teina, me tona ringa maui hoki ki runga ki te matenga o Manahi, he ata whakatakoto hoki nana i ona ringa, ko Manahi hoki te matamua.

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 Na ka manaaki ai i a Hohepa, ka mea, Ma te Atua i haereere nei oku matua, a Aperahama raua ko Ihaka i tona aroaro, ma te Atua mana nei ahau i whangai i ahau i ora nei a taea moatia tenei ra,

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 Ma te anahera nana nei ahau i whakaora i roto i nga he katoa, e manaaki enei tamariki; a kia huaina toku ingoa ki a raua, me te ingoa hoki o oku matua, o Aperahama raua ko Ihaka; a kia tino nui haere raua i waenganui i te whenua.

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 A, no te kitenga o Hohepa kua whakatakotoria e tona papa tona matau ki runga ki te matenga o Eparaima, ka kino ki tana titiro: a ka whakarewaina ake e ia te ringa o tona papa, kia nekehia atu e ia i te matenga o Eparaima ki runga ki te matenga o Manahi.

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 A ka mea a Hohepa ki tona papa, Kaua e pena, e toku papa; ko te tuakana hoki tenei; whakatakotoria tou matau ki runga ki tona matenga.

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

19 Na ka whakakahore tona papa, ka mea, E mohio ana ahau, e taku tama, e mohio ana ahau: ka whakatupu iwi ano tenei, ka nui ano hoki ia: otiia ka nui atu tona teina i a ia, a ka waiho ona uri hei iwi maha.

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 Na ka manaaki ia i a raua i taua rangi, ka mea, Ko koe ta Iharaira manaakitanga, a ka korerotia, Kia meinga koe e te Atua kia rite ki a Eparaima, kia rite hoki ki a Manahi: na ka maka e ia a Eparaima ki mua i a Manahi.

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 Na ka mea a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, Ka mate tenei ahau: hei a koutou ia te Atua, mana hoki koutou e whakahoki ki te whenua o o koutou matua.

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

22 Na kotahi te wahi ka hoatu nei e ahau mou, e hira ake ai tou i to ou tuakana, ko taku hoki i tango ai i nga Amori ki taku hoari, ki taku kopere.

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.
