uYakobi uyabasikelela oonyana bakaYosefu
1Kwathi emveni kwezi zinto, kwathiwa kuYosefu, Uyabona, uyihlo uyafa; Wathabatha oonyana bakhe bobabini, uManase noEfrayim, wahamba naye. 2Waxelelwa uYakobi, kwathiwa, Nanku unyana wakho uYosefu esiza kuwe, uSirayeli wamomeleza, wahlala ezingqengqelweni. 3Wathi uYakobi kuYosefu, uThixo uSomandla wabonakala kum eLuse, ezweni lakwaKanan, wandisikelela. 4Wathi kum, Yabona, ndiya kukwandisa, ndinandise, ndikwenze isikhungu seentlanga; Lo mhlaba ndiwunike imbewu yakho emva kwakho, ube lilifa lakho ngonaphakade. 5Ngako oko oonyana bakho ababini, owabazalelwayo ezweni laseYiputa, ndingekafiki kuwe eYiputa, ngabam, uEfrayim noManase; njengoRubhen noSimon baya kuba ngabam. 6Oonyana bakho oya kubazala emva kwabo baya kuba ngabakho yaye baya kubizwa ngegama labazalwana babo elifeni labo. 7Ke mna, ekundulukeni kwam ePadan, wafela nam uRakeli ezweni lakwaKanan, endleleni, ndathi ndakufika e-Efrata; Ndamngcwabela khona endleleni yase-Efrata; yiBhetelehem ke leyo. 8uSirayeli wababona oonyana bakaYosefu, wathi, Ngoobani na abo? 9Wathi uYosefu kuyise, Ngoonyana bam aba andiphiwe nguThixo kule ndawo. Wathi, Ziziseni kum ndibasikelele. 10Ayemnyama amehlo amaSirayeli ngenxa yokwaluphala, ukuba angabi nakubona. Wazisondeza kuye; wabanga, wabawola. 11Wathi uSirayeli kuYosefu, Bendingacingi ukuba ndokubona ubuso bakho; Uyabona, uThixo undibonisile, nembewu yakho. 12uYosefu wabakhupha phakathi kwamadolo akhe, waqubuda ngobuso bakhe. 13uYosefu wabathabatha bobabini, uEfrayim ngesokunene sakhe ngasekhohlo kukaSirayeli, noManase ngesokhohlo sakhe, ngasekunene kukaSirayeli, wabazisa kuye. 14uSirayeli wasolula esokunene sakhe, wasibeka entloko kuEfrayim, engomncinane, wasibeka esokhohlo entlokweni kaManase, ezihambisa ngezandla zakhe ngengqiqo; ngokuba uManase ebengowamazibulo. 15Wamsikelela uYosefu, wathi, uThixo abahamba phambi kwakhe oobawo uAbraham noIsake, uThixo ondingenise yonke imihla yobomi bam, unanamhla. 16Isithunywa eso sandihlangula kubo bonke ububi siyawasikelela amakhwenkwe; malibizwe kubo igama lam, negama looyise babo, uAbraham noIsake; kwaye mabakhule babe baninzi ehlabathini. 17Wabona uYosefu ukuba uyise usibeke isandla sakhe sokunene entlokweni kaEfrayim, wonile; 18Wathi uYosefu kuyise, Makube loo nto, bawo, kuba lo ngowamazibulo; beka isandla sakho sokunene phezu kwentloko yakhe. 19Akavuma uyise, wathi, Ndiyakwazi oku, nyana wam, ndiyakwazi oku; uya kuba luhlanga, ube mkhulu; kodwa okunene umzalwana wakhe uya kumdlula, nabantwana bakhe babe ziintlanga ezininzi. 20Wabasikelela ngaloo mini, wathi, Ngawe uSirayeli uya kusikelela, ngokuthi, uThixo wokwenza ube njengoEfrayim nanjengoManase; waza wabeka uEfrayim phambi kukaManase. 21Wathi uSirayeli kuYosefu, Yabona, ndiza kufa; kodwa uThixo uya kuba nani, anibuyisele ezweni looyihlo. 22Kananjalo ndakunika isiqwenga somhlaba ngaphezu koonyana bakho, endasithabatha ngekrele lam nesaphetha sam esandleni sama-Amori.
