Genesis 48 - Listen Online

¹ O SI ṣe lẹhin nkan wọnyi ni ẹnikan wi fun Josefu pe, Kiyesi i, ara baba rẹ kò dá: o si mú awọn ọmọ rẹ̀ mejeji, Manasse ati Efraimu pẹlu rẹ̀.

¹ And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

² Ẹnikan si sọ fun Jakobu, o si wipe, Kiyesi i, Josefu ọmọ rẹ tọ̀ ọ wá: Israeli si gbiyanju, o si joko lori akete.

² And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.

³ Jakobu si wi fun Josefu pe, Ọlọrun Olodumare farahàn mi ni Lusi ni ilẹ Kenaani, o si sure fun mi,

³ And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,

⁴ O si wi fun mi pe, Kiyesĩ, Emi o mu ọ bisi i, Emi o mu ọ rẹ̀, Emi o si sọ ọ di ọ̀pọlọpọ enia; Emi o si fi ilẹ yi fun irú-ọmọ rẹ lẹhin rẹ ni iní titi aiye.

⁴ And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.

⁵ Njẹ nisisiyi Efraimu ati Manasse, awọn ọmọ rẹ mejeji ti a bí fun ọ ni ilẹ Egipti, ki emi ki o tó tọ̀ ọ wá ni Egipti, ti emi ni nwọn: bi Reubeni on Simeoni, bẹ̃ni nwọn o jẹ́ ti emi.

⁵ And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

⁶ Ṣugbọn awọn ọmọ rẹ ti iwọ bí lẹhin wọn ni yio ṣe tirẹ, a o si ma pè wọn li orukọ awọn arakunrin wọn ni ilẹ iní wọn.

⁶ And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.

⁷ Ati emi, nigbati mo ti Paddani wá, Rakeli kú lọwọ mi ni ilẹ Kenaani li ọ̀na, nigbati o kù diẹ ti a ba fi dé Efrati: emi si sin i nibẹ̀ li ọ̀na Efrati (eyi na ni Betlehemu).

⁷ And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.

⁸ Israeli si wò awọn ọmọ Josefu, o si bère pe, Tani wọnyi?

⁸ And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?

⁹ Josefu wi fun baba rẹ̀ pe, Awọn ọmọ mi ni, ti Ọlọrun fifun mi nihinyi. O si wipe, Emi bẹ̀ ọ, mú wọn wá sọdọ mi, emi o si sure fun wọn.

⁹ And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.

¹⁰ Njẹ oju Israeli ṣú baìbai nitori ogbó, kò le riran. On si mú wọn sunmọ ọdọ rẹ̀: o si fi ẹnu kò wọn li ẹnu, o si gbá wọn mọra.

¹⁰ Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.

¹¹ Israeli si wi fun Josefu pe, Emi kò dába ati ri oju rẹ mọ́: si kiyesi i, Ọlọrun si fi irú-ọmọ rẹ hàn mi pẹlu.

¹¹ And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.

¹² Josefu si mú wọn kuro li ẽkun rẹ̀, o si tẹriba, o dà oju rẹ̀ bolẹ.

¹² And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

¹³ Josefu si mú awọn mejeji, Efraimu li ọwọ́ ọtún rẹ̀ si ọwọ́ òsi Israeli, ati Manasse lọwọ òsi rẹ̀, si ọwọ́ ọtún Israeli, o si mú wọn sunmọ ọdọ rẹ̀.

¹³ And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.

¹⁴ Israeli si nà ọwọ́ ọtún rẹ̀, o si fi lé Efraimu ẹniti iṣe aburo li ori, ati ọwọ́ òsi rẹ̀ lé ori Manasse, o mọ̃mọ̀ mu ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lọ bẹ̃: nitori Manasse ni iṣe akọ́bi.

¹⁴ And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.

¹⁵ O si sure fun Josefu, o si wipe, Ọlọrun, niwaju ẹniti Abrahamu ati Isaaki awọn baba mi rìn, Ọlọrun na ti o bọ́ mi lati ọjọ́ aiye mi titi di oni,

¹⁵ And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,

¹⁶ Angeli na ti o dá mi ni ìde kuro ninu ibi gbogbo, ki o gbè awọn ọmọde wọnyi; ki a si pè orukọ mi mọ́ wọn lara, ati orukọ Abrahamu ati Isaaki awọn baba mi; ki nwọn ki o si di ọ̀pọlọpọ lãrin aiye.

¹⁶ The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

¹⁷ Nigbati Josefu ri pe baba rẹ̀ fi ọwọ́ ọtún rẹ̀ lé Efraimu lori, inu rẹ̀ kò dùn: o si mú baba rẹ̀ li ọwọ́, lati ṣí i kuro li ori Efraimu si ori Manasse.

¹⁷ And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.

¹⁸ Josefu si wi fun baba rẹ̀ pe, Bẹ̃kọ, baba mi: nitori eyi li akọ́bi; fi ọwọ́ ọtún rẹ lé e li ori.

¹⁸ And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.

¹⁹ Baba rẹ̀ si kọ̀, o si wipe, Emi mọ̀, ọmọ mi, emi mọ̀: on pẹlu yio di enia, yio si pọ̀ pẹlu: ṣugbọ́n nitõtọ aburo rẹ̀ yio jù u lọ, irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ yio si di ọ̀pọlọpọ orilẹ-ède.

¹⁹ And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

²⁰ O si sure fun wọn li ọjọ́ na pe, Iwọ ni Israeli o ma fi sure, wipe, Ki Ọlọrun ki o ṣe nyin bi Efraimu on Manasse: bẹ̃li o fi Efraimu ṣaju Manasse.

²⁰ And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

²¹ Israeli si wi fun Josefu pe, Wò o, emi kú: ṣugbọn Ọlọrun yio wà pẹlu nyin, yio si tun mú nyin lọ si ilẹ awọn baba nyin.

²¹ And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.

²² Pẹlupẹlu, emi si fi ilẹ-biri kan fun ọ jù awọn arakunrin rẹ lọ, ti mo fi idà ti on ti ọrun mi gbà lọwọ awọn enia Amori.

²² Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
