UGenesise 48

¹Kwathi emva kwalezi zinto omunye wathi kuJosefa: Bheka, uyihlo uyagula; wathatha amadodana akhe amabili, oManase no-Efrayimi, kanye naye.

²UJakobe watshelwa, kwathiwa: “Bheka, indodana yakho uJosefa iyeza kuwe; u-Israyeli wamqinisa, wahlala embhedeni.”

³UJakobe wasesithi kuJosefa: UNkulunkulu uSomandla wabonakala kimi eLusu elizweni leKhanani, wangibusisa.

⁴Futhi yathi kimi: Bheka, ngizokwenza uzale futhi ngikwandise, futhi ngizokwenza ube uquqaba lwezizwe; leli zwe ngiyakulinika inzalo yakho emva kwakho libe yifa kuze kube phakade.

⁵Manje amadodana akho amabili, u-Efrayimi noManase, owazalelwa wona ezweni laseGibithe ngingakafiki kuwe eGibithe, angawami; njengoRubeni noSimeyoni bayakuba ngabami.

⁶Futhi inzalo yakho oyoyizala ngemva kwabo iyoba ngeyakho futhi ibizwe ngegama labafowabo efeni layo.

⁷Mina-ke, ekuphumeni kwami ePhadani, uRaheli wafa nami ezweni laseKhanani endleleni, kusekude ukuba ngifike e-Efrati; ngammbela lapho endleleni yase-Efrati; okuyiBetlehema.

⁸U-Israyeli wabona amadodana kaJosefa wathi: “Angobani na?

⁹UJosefa wasesithi kuyise: Lawa angamadodana ami uNkulunkulu angiphe wona kulindawo. Wathi: “Ziletheni kimi, ngizababusisa.”

¹⁰Amehlo ka-Israyeli ayefiphele ngenxa yokuguga, engasaboni. Waziletha kuye; wasebanga, wawagona.

¹¹UIsrayeli wasesithi kuJosefa: Ngangingacabangi ukuthi ngizakubona ubuso bakho; khangela-ke, uNkulunkulu ungibonisile lenzalo yakho.

¹²UJosefa wayesebakhiphela phakathi kwamadolo akhe, wakhothamela ubuso bakhe emhlabathini.

¹³UJosefa wayesebabamba bobabili, u-Efrayimi ngesandla sakhe sokunene ngakwesokhohlo sika-Israyeli, noManase ngesokhohlo, ngakwesokunene sika-Israyeli, wabaletha kuye.

¹⁴U-Israyeli welula isandla sakhe sokunene wasibeka ekhanda lika-Efrayimi engomncane, nesandla sakhe sokhohlo ekhanda likaManase, eqondisa izandla zakhe ngokuhlakanipha; ngoba uManase wayelizibulo.

¹⁵Wambusisa uJosefa, wathi: “UNkulunkulu abahamba phambi kwakhe obaba o-Abrahama no-Isaka, uNkulunkulu ongondlile konke ukuphila kwami kuze kube namuhla;

¹⁶Ingelosi eyangikhulula ebubini bonke ibusisa abafana; igama lami malibizwe phezu kwabo negama lawobaba o-Abrahama no-Isaka; futhi mabakhule babe yisixuku phakathi komhlaba.

¹⁷UJosefa esebona ukuthi uyise ubeke isandla sakhe sokunene ekhanda lika-Efrayimi, kwakungalungile kuye;

¹⁸UJosefa wayesethi kuyise: “Qha, baba, ngokuba lo uyizibulo; beka isandla sakho sokunene ekhanda lakhe.

¹⁹Uyise wala wathi: “Ngiyazi, ndodana yami, ngiyazi lokhu; kodwa ngempela, umfowabo omncane uyakuba mkhulu kunaye, nenzalo yakhe iyoba uquqaba lwezizwe.

²⁰Wababusisa ngalolo suku, wathi: “Ngawe u-Israyeli uyakubusisa ngokuthi: ‘UNkulunkulu akwenze ube njengo-Efrayimi nanjengoManase; wabeka u-Efrayimi phambi kukaManase.

²¹U-Israyeli wayesethi kuJosefa: “Bheka, ngiyafa, kepha uNkulunkulu uyakuba nani, anibuyisele ezweni lawoyihlo.

²²Futhi ngakunika isabelo esisodwa ngaphezu kwabafowenu, engabathatha ngenkemba yami nomnsalo wami esandleni sama-Amori.
