1At nangyari, pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, na sinabi ng isa kay Jose, Narito, ang iyong ama ay may sakit: at kaniyang ipinagsama ang kaniyang dalawang anak, si Manases at si Ephraim. 2At may nagsaysay kay Jacob, at nagsabi, Narito, pinaparituhan ka ng anak mong si Jose: at si Israel ay nagpakalakas at umupo sa higaan. 3At sinabi ni Jacob kay Jose, Ang Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat ay napakita sa akin sa Luz sa lupain ng Canaan, at binasbasan ako. 4At sinabi sa akin, Narito, palalaguin kita, at pararamihin kita, at gagawin kitang isang kapisanan ng mga bayan; at aking ibibigay ang lupaing ito sa iyong lahi pagkamatay mo, na pinakaari magpakailan man. 5At ang iyo ngang dalawang anak na ipinanganak sa iyo sa lupain ng Egipto bago ako naparito sa iyo sa Egipto, ay akin; si Ephraim at si Manases, gaya ni Ruben at ni Simeon ay magiging akin. 6At ang iyong mga anak, na iyong mga naging anak na sumunod sa kanila ay magiging iyo; sila'y tatawagin ayon sa pangalan ng kanilang mga kapatid sa kanilang mana. 7At tungkol sa akin, nang ako'y dumating mula sa Padan, si Raquel ay namatay sa akin sa lupain ng Canaan sa daan, nang kulang pa ng kaunti upang dumating sa Ephrata: at aking inilibing siya roon sa daan ng Ephrata (na siya ring Bethlehem). 8At nakita ni Israel ang mga anak ni Jose, at sinabi, Sino sino ito? 9At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang ama, Sila'y aking mga anak, na silang mga ibinigay ng Dios sa akin dito. At kaniyang sinabi, Isinasamo ko sa iyo, na iyong dalhin sila rito sa akin, at sila'y aking babasbasan. 10Ang mga mata nga ni Israel ay malabo na dahil sa katandaan, na ano pa't hindi na siya makakita. At kaniyang inilapit sila sa kaniya; at sila'y kaniyang hinagkan, at niyakap. 11At sinabi ni Israel kay Jose, Hindi ko akalaing makita ang iyong mukha: at, narito, ipinakita sa akin ng Dios pati ng iyong binhi. 12At sila'y pinagkuha ni Jose sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga tuhod; at siya'y nagpatirapa sa lupa. 13At kapuwa dinala ni Jose, si Ephraim sa kaniyang kanang kamay, sa dakong kaliwang kamay ni Israel, at si Manases sa kaniyang kaliwang kamay, sa dakong kanang kamay ni Israel, at inilapit niya sa kaniya. 14At iniunat ni Israel ang kaniyang kanang kamay, at ipinatong sa ulo ni Ephraim, na siyang bunso, at ang kaniyang kaliwang kamay ay sa ulo ni Manases, na pinapatnubayang sadya ang kaniyang mga kamay; sapagka't si Manases ang panganay. 15At kaniyang binasbasan si Jose, at sinabi, Ang Dios na sa harap niya ay lumakad ang aking mga magulang na si Abraham at si Isaac, ang Dios na nagpakain sa akin sa buong buhay ko hanggang sa araw na ito, 16Ang anghel na tumubos sa akin sa buong kasamaan, ay siya nawang magpala sa mga batang ito; at tawagin nawa sila sa aking pangalan, at sa pangalan ng aking mga magulang na si Abraham at si Isaac; at magsidami nawa silang totoo sa ibabaw ng lupa. 17At nang makita ni Jose na ipinatong ng kaniyang ama ang kaniyang kanang kamay sa ulo ni Ephraim, ay minasama niya; at itinaas niya ang kamay ng kaniyang ama, upang ilipat sa ulo ni Manases mula sa ulo ni Ephraim. 18At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang ama, Hindi ganyan, ama ko: sapagka't ito ang panganay; ipatong mo ang iyong kanang kamay sa kaniyang ulo. 19At tumanggi ang kaniyang ama, at sinabi, Talastas ko, anak ko, talastas ko; siya man ay magiging isang bayan, at siya man ay magiging dakila: gayon ma'y ang kaniyang kapatid na bata ay magiging lalong dakila kay sa kaniya, at ang kaniyang binhi ay magiging isang makapal na bansa. 20At kaniyang binasbasan sila ng araw na yaon, na sinasabi Sa iyo magbabasbas ang Israel, na magsasabi, Gawin ka nawa ng Dios na gaya ni Ephraim at gaya ni Manases, at kaniyang ipinagpauna si Ephraim bago si Manases. 21At sinabi ni Israel kay Jose, Narito, ako'y namamatay: nguni't ang Dios ay sasainyo, at dadalhin kayo uli sa lupain ng inyong mga magulang. 22Bukod dito'y binigyan kita ng isang bahaging higit kay sa iyong mga kapatid, na aking kinuha ng aking tabak at ng aking busog sa kamay ng Amorrheo.
1After these things, someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father is sick.” He took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 2Someone told Jacob, and said, “Behold, your son Joseph comes to you,” and Israel strengthened himself, and sat on the bed. 3Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 4and said to me, ‘Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your seed after you for an everlasting possession.’ 5Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, even as Reuben and Simeon, will be mine. 6Your issue, whom you become the father of after them, will be yours. They will be called after the name of their brothers in their inheritance. 7As for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).” 8Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, “Who are these?” 9Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me here.” He said, “Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.” 10Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he couldn’t see. He brought them near to him; and he kissed them, and embraced them. 11Israel said to Joseph, “I didn’t think I would see your face, and behold, God has let me see your seed also.” 12Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. 13Joseph 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 to him. 14Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn. 15He blessed Joseph, and said, “The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me all my life long to this day, 16the angel who has 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. Let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.” 17When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 18Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father; for this is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.” 19His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a multitude of nations.” 20He blessed them that day, saying, “In you will Israel bless, saying, ‘God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh’” He set Ephraim before Manasseh. 21Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you, and bring you again to the land of your fathers. 22Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
1Het geschiedde nu na deze dingen, dat men Jozef zeide: Zie, uw vader is krank! Toen nam hij zijn twee zonen met zich, Manasse en Efraim! 2En men boodschapte Jakob, en men zeide: Zie, uw zoon Jozef komt tot u! Zo versterkte zich Israel, en zat op het bed. 3Daarna zeide Jakob tot Jozef: God de Almachtige, is mij verschenen te Luz, in het land Kanaan, en Hij heeft mij gezegend; 4En Hij heeft tot mij gezegd: Zie, Ik zal u vruchtbaar maken, en u vermenigvuldigen, en u tot een hoop van volken stellen; en Ik zal aan uw zaad na u dit land tot een eeuwige bezitting geven. 5Nu dan, uw twee zonen, die u in Egypteland geboren waren, eer ik in Egypte tot u gekomen ben, zijn mijne; Efraim en Manasse zullen mijne zijn, als Ruben en Simeon. 6Maar uw geslacht, dat gij na hen zult gewinnen, zullen uwe zijn; zij zullen naar hunner broederen naam genoemd worden in hun erfdeel. 7Toen ik nu van Paddan kwam, zo is Rachel bij mij gestorven in het land Kanaan, op den weg, als het nog een kleine streek lands was, om tot Efrath te komen; en ik begroef haar aldaar aan den weg van Efrath, welke is Bethlehem. 8En Israel zag de zonen van Jozef, en zeide: Wiens zijn deze? 9En Jozef zeide tot zijn vader: Zij zijn mijn zonen, die mij God hier gegeven heeft. En hij zeide: Breng hen toch tot mij, dat ik hen zegene! 10Doch de ogen van Israel waren zwaar van ouderdom; hij kon niet zien; en hij deed hen naderen tot zich; toen kuste hij hen, en omhelsde hen. 11En Israel zeide tot Jozef: Ik had niet gemeend uw aangezicht te zien; maar zie, God heeft mij ook uw zaad doen zien! 12Toen deed hen Jozef uitgaan van zijn knieen; en hij boog zich voor zijn aangezicht neder ter aarde. 13En Jozef nam die beiden, Efraim met zijn rechterhand, tegenover Israels linkerhand, en Manasse met zijn linkerhand, tegenover Israels rechterhand, en hij deed hen naderen tot hem. 14Maar Israel strekte zijn rechterhand uit, en legde die op het hoofd van Efraim, hoewel hij de minste was, en zijn linkerhand op het hoofd van Manasse; hij bestierde zijn handen verstandelijk; want Manasse was de eerstgeborene. 15En hij zegende Jozef, en zeide: De God, voor Wiens aangezicht mijn vaders, Abraham en Izak, gewandeld hebben, die God, Die mij gevoed heeft, van dat ik was, tot op dezen dag; 16Die Engel, Die mij verlost heeft van alle kwaad, zegene deze jongeren, en dat in hen mijn naam genoemd worde, en de naam mijner vaderen, Abraham en Izak, en dat zij vermenigvuldigen als vissen in menigte, in het midden des lands! 17Toen Jozef zag, dat zijn vader zijn rechterhand op het hoofd van Efraim legde, zo was het kwaad in zijn ogen, en hij ondervatte zijns vaders hand, om die van het hoofd van Efraim op het hoofd van Manasse af te brengen. 18En Jozef zeide tot zijn vader: Niet alzo, mijn vader! want deze is de eerstgeborene; leg uw rechterhand op zijn hoofd. 19Maar zijn vader weigerde het, en zeide: Ik weet het, mijn zoon! ik weet het; hij zal ook tot een volk worden, en hij zal ook groot worden; maar nochtans zal zijn kleinste broeder groter worden dan hij, en zijn zaad zal een volle menigte van volkeren worden. 20Alzo zegende hij ze te dien dage, zeggende: In u zal Israel zegenen, zeggende: God zette u als Efraim en als Manasse! En hij zette Efraim voor Manasse. 21Daarna zeide Israel tot Jozef: Zie, ik sterf; maar God zal met ulieden wezen, en Hij zal u wederbrengen in het land uwer vaderen. 22En ik heb u een stuk lands gegeven boven uw broederen; hetwelk ik, met mijn zwaard en met mijn boog, uit de hand der Amorieten genomen heb.
