1Yei akyiri no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Wʼagya yare.” Enti, Yosef faa ne mmammarima baanu, Efraim ne Manase kaa ne ho kɔsraa no. 2Ɛberɛ a wɔbɔɔ Yakob amaneɛ sɛ, “Wo ba Yosef aba wo nkyɛn rebɛsra wo” no, Yakob miaa nʼani sɔre tenaa ne mpa so maa no akwaaba.
3Ɛnna Yakob ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ me wɔ Lus a ɛwɔ Kanaan asase so. Ɛhɔ na ɔhyiraa me, 4ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Mɛma woawo, ama wʼase afɛe. Mɛma wʼasefoɔ ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ. Mede saa asase yi bɛma wʼasefoɔ sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ afebɔɔ.’
5“Ɛno enti, 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, sɛdeɛ Ruben ne Simeon yɛ me mma no. 6Mma foforɔ biara a wobɛwo wɔn wɔ Efraim ne Manase akyiri no na wɔbɛyɛ wo dea. Wɔde wɔn bɛka wɔn nuanom no ho wɔ asase a wɔde bɛma wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no so. 7Ɛberɛ a mefiri Paddan-Aram reba no, ababaawa Rahel wuu wɔ ɛkwan mu, ma ɛyɛɛ me ya. Na aka akwansini kakra na yɛaduru Efrat. Ɛno enti, mesiee no wɔ Eufrate, a wɔfrɛ no Betlehem no kwankyɛn baabi.”
8Ɛberɛ a Israel hunuu Yosef mmammarima no, ɔbisaa sɛ, “Na yeinom yɛ ɛhefoɔ?”
9Yosef buaa nʼagya sɛ, “Wɔyɛ mmammarima a Onyankopɔn de wɔn adom me wɔ ha.”
Na Israel kaa sɛ, “Fa wɔn bra mʼanim ha na menhyira wɔn.”
10Saa ɛberɛ no, ɛsiane onyini enti, na Israel ani so ayɛ wisiwisi a, ɔnhunu adeɛ papa. Ne saa enti, Yosef de ne mma no kɔɔ ne nkyɛn pɛɛ, ma ɔyɛɛ wɔn atuu, fefee wɔn ano.
11Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Manna mannwene sɛ mɛhunu wʼanim bio da, nanso hwɛ deɛ Onyame ayɛ. Wama me ho kwan ama mahunu wo mma nso.”
12Yosef pagyaa wɔn firii Israel kotodwe anim, ɛnna ɔno ara nso buu nkotodwe de nʼanim butuu fam. 13Ɔpagyaa ne mu no, ɔde ne nsa nifa sɔɔ Efraim mu, de no gyinaa Yakob benkum so, ɛnna ɔde ne nsa benkum sɔɔ Manase mu, de no gyinaa Yakob nifa so bɛn no pɛɛ. 14Israel tenee ne nsa nifa de too Efraim a ɔyɛ akumaa no apampam, ɛnna ɔde ne nsa benkum no too Manase nso apampam. Ɛwom sɛ na Manase yɛ abakan deɛ, nanso ɔde ne nsa benkum na ɛtoo nʼapampam.
15Ɔhyiraa Yosef sɛ,
“Onyankopɔn a mʼagyanom
Abraham ne Isak nantee nʼanim,
ne me Onyankopɔn a ɔhwɛɛ me sɛ odwanhwɛfoɔ
de bɛsi ɛnnɛ no,
16ɔsoro ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔgyee me firii ɔhaw nyinaa mu no,
ɔnhyira saa mmarimaa yi.
Wɔmfa me din ne mʼagyanom,
Abraham ne Isak edin ntoto wɔn,
na wɔn ase mfɛe
wɔ asase so.”
17Ɛberɛ a Yosef hunuu sɛ nʼagya de ne nsa nifa ato Efraim apampam no, anyɛ no dɛ. Enti, ɔyii nʼagya nsa nifa no firii Efraim apampam, kɔtoo Manase apampam. 18Yosef ka kyerɛɛ nʼagya sɛ, “Dabi, mʼagya, yei ne mʼabakan, enti fa wo nsa nifa to nʼapampam.”
19Nanso, nʼagya ampene so kaa sɛ, “Me ba, menim saa. Ɔno nso bɛyɛ ɔman, na wayɛ kɛse. Nanso, ne nua kumaa no bɛyɛ kɛse asene no, na nʼasefoɔ bɛyɛ amanaman bebree.” 20Enti ɛda no, Yakob hyiraa mmarimaa no sɛ,
“Israelfoɔ nyinaa nam mo din so bɛhyirahyira wɔn ho wɔn ho.
Wɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Onyankopɔn bɛhyirahyira mo, ama moakɔ so frɔmfrɔm te sɛ Efraim ne Manase.’ ”
Saa ɛkwan yi so na Yakob fa maa Efraim bɛdii Manase anim.
21Na Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Merebɛwu, nanso Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ mo so, na wasane de mo akɔ Kanaan, mo agyanom asase so bio. 22Wo a seesei woabɛyɛ wo nuanom nyinaa so panin no, mede asase a menam me sekan ne mʼagyan so gye firii Amorifoɔ 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.”
