2 Akee bɛhanle bɛhilele Gyekɔbo kɛ: “Ɛ ra Dwosefi ɛra ɛ nwo ɛke.” Ɔti Yizilayɛ bɔle mɔdenle dwazole dɛnlanle ye ɛkpa ne azo.
3 Na Gyekɔbo zele Dwosefi kɛ:
“Nyamenle Tumivolɛ Bedevinli ne yele ɔ nwo hilele me wɔ Lɛɛze mɔɔ wɔ Keena azɛlɛ zo la na ɔyilale me.+
4 Na ɔzele me kɛ, ‘Mebamaa ɛ bo zo amra anwo azo na meamaa wɔayɛ menli* ekpunli ekpunli dɔɔnwo,+ na mebava azɛlɛ ɛhye meamaa ɛ bo zo amra na yeayɛ bɛ agyapadeɛ dahuu.’+
5 Kɛkala ɛ mra mrenyia nwiɔ ne mɔɔ bɛwole bɛ bɛmaanle wɔ wɔ Yigyibiti azɛlɛ zo kolaa na meara Yigyibiti la le me ɛdeɛ.+ Yifelaem nee Manasɛ bayɛ me ɛdeɛ, kɛ mɔɔ Wulubɛn nee Semɛyɔn le me ɛdeɛ la.+
6 Noko mralɛ mɔɔ bɛbawo bɛ bɛamaa wɔ wɔ ɛhye mɔ anzi la bayɛ wɔ ɛdeɛ. Bɛbanyia agyapadeɛ ne mɔɔ bɛ mediema ne mɔ aluma la zolɛ la bie.+
7 Na mame, mɔɔ mevi Padan melɛba la, Relahyɛle wule+ dɔle me sa zo wɔ Keena azɛlɛ zo, na ɛnee ɛleka mɔɔ yɛwɔ la nee Ɛfelate avinli wale.+ Ɔti menziele ye wɔ Ɛfelate, mɔɔ le Bɛtelɛhɛm+ la adenle nu.”
8 Akee Yizilayɛ nwunle Dwosefi amra mrenyia ne mɔ na ɔbizale kɛ: “Nwane mɔ ɛne?”
9 Na Dwosefi zele ye papa kɛ: “Me mra mrenyia mɔɔ Nyamenle ɛva bɛ ɛmaa me wɔ ɛke la ɛne.”+ Na Gyekɔbo hanle kɛ: “Mesɛlɛ wɔ, fa bɛ bɛlɛ me maa menyila bɛ.”+
10 Noko kɛmɔ ɛnee Yizilayɛ ɛyɛ ɛrelera la ati, ɛnee ɔ nye zo ɛyɛ monzomonzo yɛɛ ɔnnwu debie kpalɛ. Ɔti Dwosefi vale bɛ bikyele ye, na ɔvole bɛ nloa anwo na ɔvale bɛ ɔbɔle ye ɛbolɛ.
11 Yizilayɛ zele Dwosefi kɛ: “Meandwenle nwolɛ ɛlɛ kɛ mebanwu ɛ nyunlu,+ noko Nyamenle eza ɛmaa menwu ɛ mra.”
12 Akee Dwosefi yele bɛ vile Yizilayɛ agyakɛ anwo ɛkɛ, na ɔhotole ɔvale ɔ nyunlu ɔbutule aze.
13 Akee Dwosefi zɔle bɛ mu nwiɔ, ɔvale ɔ sa fema ne ɔzɔle Yifelaem+ ɔhɔle Yizilayɛ bɛne zo yɛɛ ɔvale ɔ sa bɛne ne ɔzɔle Manasɛ+ ɔhɔle Yizilayɛ fema zo, na ɔvale bɛ ɔbikyele ye.
14 Noko Yizilayɛ vale ɔ sa fema ne dole Yifelaem mɔɔ le kakula la ati zo, yɛɛ ɔvale ɔ sa bɛne ne ɔdole Manasɛ ati zo. Ɔ nye fuu a ɔyɛle ye zɔhane a, ɔluakɛ Manasɛ a le kpanyinli a.+
15 Akee ɔyilale Dwosefi na ɔhanle kɛ:+
“Nɔhalɛ Nyamenle ne mɔɔ me nenyia Ebileham nee me papa Ayezeke nee ye luale,+Nɔhalɛ Nyamenle ne mɔɔ ɛnlea me wɔ me ɛbɛlabɔlɛ kɔsɔɔti anu too yeradwu ɛnɛ,+
16 Anwumabɔvolɛ ne mɔɔ ɛlie me ɛvi me ngyegyelɛ kɔsɔɔti anu la+ ɛyila ngakula ne mɔ.+
Maa bɛva me duma nee me nenyia Ebileham yɛɛ me papa Ayezeke duma bɛdo bɛ nwo zo,Maa bɛzo bɛyɛ dɔɔnwo wɔ azɛlɛ ne azo.”+
17 Mɔɔ Dwosefi nwunle kɛ ye papa ɛva ɔ sa fema ɛdo Yifelaem ati zo la, ɔ nye anlie nwolɛ, ɔti ɔbɔle mɔdenle kɛ ɔye ye papa asa yeavi Yifelaem ati zo yeava yeado Manasɛ ati zo.
18 Dwosefi zele ye papa kɛ: “Me papa, mmayɛ ye zɔ, ɔluakɛ ɛhye a le kpanyinli a.+ Fa ɛ sa fema ne to ɔ ti zo.”
19 Noko ye papa andie na ɔhanle kɛ: “Me ra meze ye zɔ. Ɔdaye noko ɔ nwo bazo na yeayɛ kpole. Noko ɔ diema ekyi ne bayɛ kpole adɛla ye,+ na ɔ bo zo amra bazo mɔɔ bɛbahola bɛayɛ maanle kpole.”+
20 Ɔti ɔhɔle zo ɔyilale bɛ wɔ kenle zɔhane+ na ɔhanle kɛ:
“Saa Yizilayɛma ɛlɛyila bɛ nwo a, bɛbabɔ wɔ duma na bɛaha kɛ,‘Nyamenle ɛmaa ɛyɛ kɛ Yifelaem nee Manasɛ.’”
Ɔti ɔvale Yifelaem ɔlile Manasɛ anyunlu.
21 Akee Yizilayɛ zele Dwosefi kɛ: “Nea, ɔka ekyii mewu,+ noko Nyamenle nee wɔ balua na yeava wɔ yeazia yeahɔ wɔ nenyia mɔ azɛlɛ zo.+
22 Na mebava azɛlɛ ne mɔɔ menvale me konle dadeɛ nee me ɛda menliele menvile Amɔlema ɛkɛ la ko meaboka wɔ ɛdeɛ ne anwo meamaa yeadɛla mɔɔ mebava meamaa ɛ mediema ne mɔ la.”
