1Mmere bi akyi no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Wʼagya yare.” Enti Yosef faa ne mmabarima baanu, Efraim ne Manase kaa ne ho kɔsraa no. 2Bere a wɔbɔɔ Yakob amanneɛ se, “Wo ba Yosef aba wo nkyɛn rebɛsra wo” no, Yakob miaa nʼani sɔre tenaa ne mpa so.
3Yakob ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Otumfo Nyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ me wɔ Lus a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so. Ɛhɔ na ohyiraa me, 4ka kyerɛɛ me se, ‘Mɛma woawo, ama wʼase afɛe. Mɛma wʼasefo ayɛ ɔman kɛse. Mede saa asase yi bɛma wʼasefo afebɔɔ sɛ wɔn agyapade.’
5“Ɛno nti, mede wo mma baanu a wɔwoo wɔn maa wo ansa na mereba wo nkyɛn wɔ Misraim asase so ha no bɛka me mma no ho. Efraim ne Manase bɛka me mma ho, sɛnea Ruben ne Simeon yɛ me mma no. 6Mma foforo biara a wobɛwo wɔn wɔ Efraim ne Manase akyi no na wɔbɛyɛ wo de. Wɔde wɔn bɛka wɔn nuanom no ho wɔ asase a wɔde bɛma wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapade no so. 7Bere a mifi Paddan-Aram reba no, ababaa Rahel wuu wɔ ɔkwan mu ma ɛyɛɛ me yaw. Na aka akwansin kakraa bi na yɛadu Efrat. Ɛno nti, misiee no wɔ Eufrate, a wɔfrɛ no Betlehem no kwankyɛn baabi.”
8Bere a Israel huu Yosef mmabarima no, obisae se, “Na eyinom yɛ hefo?”
9Yosef buaa nʼagya se, “Wɔyɛ mmabarima a Onyankopɔn de wɔn adom me wɔ ha.”
Na Israel kae se, “Fa wɔn bra mʼanim ha na minhyira wɔn.”
10Saa bere no, esiane onyin nti, na Israel ani so ayɛ wusiwusi a onhu ade papa. Ne saa nti, Yosef de ne mma no kɔɔ ne nkyɛn pɛɛ ma ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, fifew wɔn ano.
11Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Manna mannwene sɛ mehu wʼanim bio da, nanso hwɛ nea Onyame ayɛ. Wama me ho kwan ama mahu wo mma nso.”
12Yosef maa wɔn so fii Israel kotodwe anim, na ɔno ara nso buu nkotodwe de nʼanim butuw fam. 13Ɔsɔre no, ɔde ne nsa nifa soo Efraim mu, de no gyinaa Yakob benkum so, na ɔde ne nsa benkum soo Manase mu, de no gyinaa Yakob nifa so bɛn no pɛɛ. 14Israel teɛɛ ne nsa nifa de too Efraim a ɔyɛ akumaa no apampam, na ɔde ne nsa benkum no too Manase nso apampam. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Manase yɛ abakan de, nanso ɔde ne nsa benkum na ɛtoo nʼapampam.
15Ohyiraa Yosef se,
“Onyankopɔn a mʼagyanom
Abraham ne Isak nantew nʼanim,
ne me Nyankopɔn a ɔhwɛɛ me sɛ oguanhwɛfo
de besi nnɛ no,
16ɔsoro bɔfo a ogyee me fii ɔhaw nyinaa mu no,
onhyira saa mmarimaa yi.
Wɔmfa me din ne mʼagyanom,
Abraham ne Isak din ntoto wɔn,
na wɔn ase mfɛe
wɔ asase so.”
17Bere a Yosef huu sɛ nʼagya de ne nsa nifa ato Efraim apampam no, anyɛ no dɛ. Enti oyii nʼagya nsa nifa no fii Efraim apampam, kɔtoo Manase apampam. 18Yosef ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya se, “Dabi, mʼagya, oyi ne mʼabakan, nti fa wo nsa nifa to nʼapampam.”
19Nanso nʼagya ampene so kae se, “Me ba, minim saa. Ɔno nso bɛyɛ ɔman, na wayɛ ɔkɛse. Nanso ne nua kumaa no bɛyɛ ɔkɛse asen no, na nʼasefo bɛyɛ aman bebree.” 20Enti da no, Yakob hyiraa mmarimaa no se,
“Israelfo nyinaa nam mo din so behyirahyira wɔn ho wɔn ho.
Wɔbɛka se, ‘Onyankopɔn behyirahyira mo, ama moakɔ so frɔmfrɔm te sɛ Efraim ne Manase.’ ”
Saa ɔkwan yi so na Yakob fa maa Efraim bedii Manase anim.
21Na Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Merebewu, nanso Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ mo so, na wasan de mo akɔ Kanaan, mo agyanom asase so bio. 22Wo a mprempren woabɛyɛ wo nuanom nyinaa so panyin no, mede asase a menam me afoa ne mʼagyan so gye fii Amorifo nkyɛn no rema wo.”
Yakobo Asabira Batabani ba Yusufu Omukisa
148:1 Lub 41:52Oluvannyuma Yusufu n’ategeezebwa nti, “Laba, kitaawo mulwadde.” Bw’atyo n’atwala batabani be Manase ne Efulayimu; 2Yakobo n’ategeezebwa nti, “Mutabani wo azze okukulaba.”
Awo Yakobo ne yeekakaba ku kitanda kye n’atuula. 348:3 a Lub 28:19 b Lub 28:13; 35:9-12N’agamba Yusufu nti, “Katonda Ayinzabyonna yandabikira e Luzi mu nsi ya Kanani n’ampa omukisa. 448:4 Lub 17:6N’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Laba, ndikwaza n’osukkirira ne nkufuula abantu abangi, era ensi eno ndigiwa ezzadde lyo okuba obutaka bwabwe ennaku zonna.’
548:5 a Lub 41:50-52; 46:20 b 1By 5:1; Yos 14:4“Kale kaakano batabani bo bombi abaakuzaalirwa mu Misiri nga sinnajja, bange; Efulayimu ne Manase baliba bange nga Lewubeeni ne Simyoni bwe bali. 6N’abo abaakuzaalirwa oluvannyuma lwabwe baliba babo, banaayitibwa amannya ga baganda baabwe mu mugabo gwabwe. 748:7 Lub 35:19Kubanga bwe najja ng’ava e Paddani, ne ndaba ennaku Laakeeri n’anfiirako mu kkubo mu nsi ya Kanani, nga nkyagenda Efulasi; ne mmuziika eyo mu kkubo erigenda Efulasi, ye Besirekemu.”
8Isirayiri bwe yalaba batabani ba Yusufu n’abuuza nti, “Bano be baani?”
948:9 a Lub 33:5 b Lub 27:4Yusufu n’addamu kitaawe nti, “Be batabani bange, Katonda b’ampeeredde wano.”
N’amugamba nti, “Nkusaba obansembereze mbasabire omukisa.”
1048:10 a Lub 27:1 b Lub 27:27Mu kiseera kino amaaso ga Isirayiri gaali gayimbadde olw’obukadde, nga takyasobola kulaba. Awo Yusufu n’abamusembereza, Yakobo n’abagwa mu kifuba n’abanywegera.
1148:11 Lub 50:23; Zab 128:6Isirayiri n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Saasuubira kulaba maaso go; era laba Katonda ansobozesezza okulaba n’abaana bo.”
12Awo Yusufu n’abaggya ku maviivi ge n’avuunama wansi. 1348:13 Zab 110:1Yusufu n’abatwala bombi, Efulayimu ng’ali mu mukono gwe ogwa ddyo, okwolekera ogwa Isirayiri ogwa kkono, ne Manase ng’ali mu mukono gwe ogwa kkono okwolekera ogwa Isirayiri ogwa ddyo, n’abamusembereza. 1448:14 Lub 41:51Isirayiri n’agolola omukono gwe ogwa ddyo n’aguteeka ku mutwe gwa Efulayimu eyali omuto, n’omukono gwe ogwa kkono n’aguteeka ku mutwe gwa Manase, n’ayisiŋŋanya emikono gye, kubanga Manase ye yasooka okuzaalibwa.
1548:15 a Lub 17:1 b Lub 49:24N’awa Yusufu omukisa, n’agamba nti,
“Katonda wa jjajjange
Ibulayimu ne kitange Isaaka gwe baatambulira mu maaso ge,
Katonda oyo ankulembedde obulamu bwange bwonna
okutuusa leero,
1648:16 a Beb 11:21 b Lub 28:13Malayika oyo eyannunula okuva mu bizibu byonna,
owe omukisa abalenzi bano.
Erinnya lyange lyeyongerenga okutuumibwa mu bo
era n’erya Ibulayimu n’erya Isaaka.
Era bafuuke ekibiina ekinene
mu maaso g’ensi.”
1748:17 nny 14Yusufu bwe yalaba nga kitaawe atadde omukono gwe ogwa ddyo ku Efulayimu n’atakyagala, n’akwata omukono gwa kitaawe okuguggya ku mutwe gwa Efulayimu aguzze ku mutwe gwa Manase. 18N’agamba kitaawe nti, “Kireme kuba kityo, kitange, kubanga ono ye mubereberye, teeka omukono ogwa ddyo ku mutwe gwe.”
1948:19 a Lub 17:20 b Lub 25:23Naye kitaawe n’agaana n’agamba nti, “Mmanyi, mwana wange, mmanyi nti alifuuka eggwanga era aliba mukulu; kyokka muto we aliba mukulu okumusinga era alivaamu amawanga mangi.” 2048:20 a Kbl 2:18 b Kbl 2:20; Lus 4:11Awo n’abasabira omukisa ku lunaku olwo ng’agamba nti,
“Abaana ba Isirayiri basabiragane omukisa nga bagamba nti,
‘Katonda akuyise nga Efulayimu ne Manase.’ ”
Bw’atyo n’ateeka Efulayimu mu maaso ga Manase.
2148:21 a Lub 26:3; 46:4 b Lub 28:13; 50:24Ate Isirayiri n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Laba, nnaatera okufa, kyokka Katonda alibeera naawe era alikuzzaayo mu nsi ya bajjajjaabo. 2248:22 a Yos 24:32; Yk 4:5 b Lub 37:8Wabula ggwe nkuwadde kinene okusinga baganda bo, nkuwadde ekitundu kimu ekikkirira olusozi, kye naggya ku Bamoli n’ekitala kyange n’omutego gwange.”
