| 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 | And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed. | Ittəmal i Yaqub itawaṇṇ'as: «Barar nak da Yusəf ad d'iglan da a kay inəy». Iga ddu Yaqub šiɣurad-net har d'iqqim daɣ teṣṣat. |
| 3 | And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, | Iṇṇa Yaqub i Yusəf: «Məššina əməqqar inifalal i du daɣ əɣrəm wa n Luz (eṣəm-net əmərədda Bet-El) daɣ akal wa n Kanan, iga fall-i albaraka nnet. |
| 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. | Inn'i: «A kay əsəssirəwa əsəffələyləyaq qay agaq qay šimattiwen aggotnen agaɣ akal a daɣ təla n əzzurriya nnak har faw. |
| 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. | Əmərədda bararan nak win n əššin təgrawa daɣ Masar dat aṣṣa nin bararan in a əmoṣan, wər tan əzlaya əd Ruben əd Šimehon. |
| 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. | Aṃaran bararan win təgrawa dəffər win, win di i nnak. Əntanay ad əgrəwan adagar nasan daɣ təkasit s eṣəm ən məqqaran nasan Mənašše d Efraym. |
| 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. | As d'əfala aṃadal ən Faḍan-Aram aba anna nak Raxil ɣur-i daɣ əšikəl daɣ akal wa n Kanan harwa wər in newed Efrata. Denda a tat əṇbala daɣ tarrayt n Efrata. Aɣrəm w'as itawaṇṇu əmərədda Betlexem. Amazay wenda ad in iswaḍ Yaqub daɣ ma |
| 8 | And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these? | |
| 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 | 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 | And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed. | Iṇṇa Yaqub i Yusəf: «Wər əɣila a kay ələsa aṇay fadda, əmərədda bararan nak da iṣṣəkn'i tan Məššina.» |
| 12 | And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth. | Ikkas tan du Yusəf daɣ faddan-net, issəjad daɣ aṃadal. |
| 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. | Təzzar idkal tan Yusəf iṭṭaf Efraym s əfus-net wa n əɣil fəl ad iggəz zalgat ən Yaqub, amaran idkal tu Mənašše s əfus-net wa n zalgat fəl ad iggəz aɣil ən Yaqub, izzəhaz as tan du. |
| 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. | Izzal du Israyil əfus-net wa n əɣil issəwar tu eɣaf n Efraym kuddeɣ as ənta wa ənḍərran. Izammazray ifassan-net fəlas əsəwər a iga wa n zalgat Mənašše kuddeɣ as ənta wa waššaran. |
| 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, | Iga fall-assan albaraka-net iṇṇa: «Məššina nin təgeɣ albaraka nak fəl bararan a, Məššina w'as əlkaman marawan nin Ibrahim d Isxaq, Məššina wa iṃosan aṃadan nin ɣur təhut in har azala, |
| 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. | Məššina wa di issəfsan daɣ aššar. Əssudəranet eṣəm in d əṣmawan ən marawan in Ibrahim d Isxaq, igatanet daɣ əddənet. |
| 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. | As inay Yusəf abba-net as issəwar əfus-net wa n əɣil eɣaf n Efraym wər oggem a wen. Təzzar ibaz əfus n abba-net ikkas t'idu fəl aɣaf n Efraym issəwar tu wa n Mənašše. |
| 18 | And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head. | Iṇṇa Yusəf y abba nnet: «Wərge adi abba nin, wa ənta a waššaran! Səwər əfus nak wa n əɣil eɣaf-net.» |
| 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. | Mišan ugay as abba nnet. Iṇṇ'as: «əṣṣana barar in, əṣṣana. Ənta da ad iqqəl tamattay igat, mišan amaḍray-net ad as izar tadawla, iqqəl əzzurriya-net šimattiwen aggotnen.» |
| 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. | Əzəl wədi da iga fall-assan albaraka-net iṇna: «Kəl Israyil ad əɣarrin iṣmawan nawan as ətaggin albaraka ad əgannin: «Idkal kay Məššina əmmək as idkal Efraym əd Mənašše». Adi da a fəl izzozar Efraym i Mənašše. |
| 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. | Təzzar iṇṇa Yaqub i Yusəf: «Nak ad i iba tarmad mišan Məššina a daɣ-wan iṣṣən, a kawan issuɣəl akal ən marawan nawan. |
| 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. | Aṃaran ad ak əššita fəl adagar wa əkfeɣ iməqqaran nak akfaq qay aṃadal wa ərkaba daɣ Kəl Amori əs takoba nin d allaɣ in.» |
