Tivo, Yosefe aahirowa wa paapa awe aakunxe ene anaawe anli, Manase ni Efrayimi.+ 2 Okathi Yakobe aaleeliwe awe wiira mwanawe Yosefe aahirwa onweha, owo* aahilipiherya ovenya, okilaathi vakhaamani vawe. 3 Nto Yakobe aahimuleela Yosefe wiira:
“Muluku Oowerya Sootheene, aahikikhumelela oLuzi, elapo ya oKanaani, okireeliha.+ 4 Nave aahikileela wiira: ‘Kinimoovahani anamwane, kinimookhalihani oowaatta, ni kinimookhalihani tiithi a maloko manceene.+ Nave kinoovaha osuulu anyu elapo ela, wiira ekhale ya waya mahiku ootheene’.+ 5 Vano, anamwane anli axilopwana muyareliwe anyu wExiitu nno, miyo kihinatthi orwa, tawaka.+ Efrayimi ni Manase anrowa okhala awaka, siisaale Rubeni ni Simeyoni ari aya awaka.+ 6 Anamwane munrowa anyu waayara nuumala ala, tanrowa okhala awinyu. Nave awo animwaakhela mpantta wa elapo yaarowa waakhela axinnaya.+ 7 Okathi kaakhuma aka oPadani, maama anyu Rakeli aahikhwa.+ Owo aakhwiiye ori ene ni miyo, elapo ya oKanaani. Nlelo kiira kirakamenle ene vakhaani wEfrata.+ Nto kahinvitha ephiro ya wEfrata, eyo piiyo, oBetelehemu”.+
8 Isarayeli aahaaweha anamwane a Yosefe, onakoha wiira: “Ala aniinyu?” 9 Yosefe aahimwaakhula paapa awe wiira: “Aayo, ala anaaka Muluku okivanhe awe elapo ela”.+ Isarayeli aahimuleela oriki: “Xontte mukiruuhele-va, wiira kaareelihe”.+ 10 Isarayeli khaawerya woona saana, okhala wiira aahuuluvala. Nto Yosefe aahaakuxa anaawe omwaattamiherya. Vano Isarayeli aahaapexari ni aahaakupaarela. 11 Isarayeli aahimuleela Yosefe wiira: “Nkuupuwela wiira kaamoowehani-tho,+ masi Muluku ookiiriha oweha osuulu anyu”. 12 Yosefe aahaakumiha anaawe, yaawo yaari vakhiviru va Isarayeli, uurama ohoolo wa paapa awe, mpakha vathi.
13 Yosefe aahaakuxa anaawe ale anli, omwaattamiherya Isarayeli. Aahinvarela Efrayimi+ ni ntata nawe noolopwana, onvahererya Isarayeli ntata nawe noothiyana. Nuumala-vo, aahinvarela Manase+ ni ntata nawe noothiyana, onvahererya Isarayeli ntata nawe noolopwana. 14 Isarayeli aahipweha ntata nawe noolopwana vamuru va Efrayimi, mwaana mukhaani a Yosefe. Nave aahipweha ntata nawe noothiyana vamuru va Manase. Owo aarolakela wiira siiso, okhala wiira Manase taapaceriwe oyariwa.+ 15 Isarayeli aahimureeliha Yosefe, iiraka:+
“Muluku eekeekhai, yoowo amuhavinre aka Abrahamu ni Isaakhi yaamurumeela aya,+
Muluku eekeekhai, yoowo okikhapelenle okumi aka wootheene, mpakha olelo-va,+
16 Nlaikha nikaakihenrye mixankiho sootheene,+ naareelihe amiravo ala.+
Akuxe nsina naka, ni nsina na amuhavinre aka Abrahamu ni Isaakhi,
Vano osuulu aya waatte mulaponi”.+
17 Okathi Yosefe aawenhe awe wiira ntata noolopwana na paapa awe nlelo naari vamuru va Efrayimi, khivaamusivenle. Tivo, aaheererya okumiha ntata na paapa awe vamuru wa Efrayimi, oroihaka vamuru wa Manase. 18 Yosefe aahimuleela paapa awe wiira: “Paapa, muhiire siiso! Mpwehe ntata nanyu noolopwana vamuru vawe ola, okhala wiira tori mwaana oopacerya oyariwa”.+ 19 Masi paapa awe aanikhootta, onahimya wiira: “Koosuwela mwanaka. Owo-tho onookhala nloko noowaatta, nave onookhala nloko nuulupale. Masi muhima awe ola, onrowa okhala muulupalexa onvikana muulupale awe.+ Nave osuulu awe onimwaatta, okhale maloko manceene”.+ 20 Siiso, aahaareeliha nihiku nne+ iiraka:
“Okathi aisarayeli anrowa aya omureelihaka mutthu, aromoleke nsina nanyu, ariki:
‘Muluku ooreeliheni ntoko omureelinhe awe Efrayimi ni Manase’”.
Isarayeli aanitepa omureeliha Efrayimi onvikana Manase.
21 Nuumala-vo, Isarayeli aahimuleela Yosefe wiira: “Mukiiwe! Miyo kihanle okhwa.+ Nave Muluku khonoohiyani, ni onrowa woottikiheryani elapo ya amuhavinre anyu.+ 22 Nto nyuwo kinimoovahani elapo yuulupale, waavikana axinninyu. Elapo eyo kaakunxe mmatatani mwa Amori, kiwanaka ni espaata ni muura”.
