48 Gungima dia ndaga eji, awambelele Yozefe egi: “Sh’aye gashigo luko muabonga.” Yozefe wazudile an’enji a mala mbadi, Manase nu Efrayime, wayile nawo.
2 Awambelele Yakoba egi: “Mun’aye Yozefe waza gale ha gugutala.” Isalele watshitshile ngolo, wazugile ha gukhala ha gitanda gienji.
3 Yakoba wawambelele Yozefe egi:
“Nzambi wa Ngolo Jiagasue wamonegene gudi ame mu dimbo dia Luze mu gifutshi gia Kanana, wangushimbigile.
4 Wanguwambelele egi: ‘Mbanguguhana ana avula, ajigulu aye mbaakhala nji avula, mbangugubuisa hungu dia athu avula. Mbanguhana nji ajigulu* aye gifutshi gigi. Mbagisala giawo mayilago.’
5 Henyaha an’aye a mala mbadi wavualele gu Ejipitu gutuama egi nguze, abua an’ami. Efrayime nu Manase mbaakhala an’ami gifua mudi Ribene nu Simeone.
6 Uvi ana ako mbawuvuala gungima diawo mbaakhala an’aye. Mbaatamegewa mu jina dia aphangi’awo wawa a mala, mbaazula nji khapho dia ima yawo.
7 Tangua ngakatugile gu Padana, gin’aye Rashele wafuile mu njila. Mu tangua diene ngakhalele mu gifutshi gia Kanana khenji nguheta galego gu Efrata, yakotelesa egi Beteleheme. Hene ngamufundjile mu khulo ya njila ya Efrata.”
8 Tangua Isalele wamonele ana a Yozefe, wamuhudile egi: “Wawa akuatshi?”
9 Yozefe wawambelele sh’enji egi: “An’ami anguhanele Nzambi mu gifutshi egi.” Gungima Yakoba wamuwambelele egi: “Ngabuba, iza nawo gudi ame hagula nguahane phemba.”
10 Luholo Isalele wabuile muthu wa gukola, gakhalelego luko mumona muabonga, hene Yofeze wayile nu ana hehi nu muene. Isalele waayambele, waahanele beze.
11 Isalele wawambelele Yozefe egi: “Ngakhalelego mutangiza egi mbangugumona luko, uvi Nzambi wanguhana luendu luagumona nu ene an’aye.”*
12 Gungima Yozefe wakatudile an’enji ha mabongo a sh’enji, wafugamele phala mu mavu.
13 Yozefe wazudile an’enji mbadi, wakuatele Efrayime gu koko dienji dia madia hagula akhale gu koko dia mahidi dia sh’enji Isalele, uvi wakuatele Manase gu koko dienji dia mahidi hagula akhale gu koko dia madia dia sh’enji. Gungima wasuenele nawo hehi nu Yakoba.
14 Isalele wahagele koko dienji dia madia ha muto wa Efrayime, wahagele koko dienji dia mahidi ha muto wa Manase. Uvi Efrayime wakhalele galenge. Wakalegele ngenyi* ngatshima wakhalele mujiya egi Manase wakhalele mona wa somi.
15 Wahanele Yozefe phemba, wamuwambelele egi:
“Nzambi wa giamatshidia khakha wami Abalahama nu sh’ami Izake akhalele mukombelela,Nzambi wa giamatshidia wana gungubamba monyo wami wagasue uu nu mangino,
16 nu muanjelo wanguhuluishile mu malamba ami agasue, akuatese ana awa.
Mu njila ya ana awa, athu akhale mutangiza jina diami nu jina dia khakha wami Abalahama nu dia sh’ami Izake,Ana awa avuale nji ana avula ha mavu.”
17 Tangua Yozefe wamonele egi sh’enji wahaga koko dienji dia madia ha muto wa Efrayime, yamusuanguluishilego. Wakambele gukatula koko dia sh’enji ha muto wa Efrayime ha gudihaga ha muto wa Manase.
18 Yozefe wawambelele sh’enji egi: “Tata ngenyi ndo, mona wa somi muenyowu. Haga koko diaye dia madia ha muto wenji.”
19 Uvi sh’enji watunyile, wamuwambelele egi: “Mun’ami ngudi mujiya, ame mujiya. Muene nji mbawuvuala ana avula, mbawubua nji muthu wakoma. Uvi galenge genji mbawukhala muthu wakoma gumubalega. Ajigulu* enji mbaabua avula diago, mbaabua ifutshi.”
20 Walanduile guahana phemba mu lusugu luene, wazuelele egi:
“Enya Isalele atange jina diaye tangua mbakhala muhana athu ako phemba. Azuele egi:
‘Nzambi agubuise gifua Efrayime nu Manase.’”
Yakoba wakhalele mutanga jina dia Efrayime gutuama dia Manase.
21 Gungima Isalele wawambelele Yozefe egi: “Gufua ngufua gami, uvi Nzambi mbawulandula gukhala nu enue, mbawumivutula mu mavu a akhakh’enu.
22 Uvi ame ngaguhana gitshinyi gia mavu* giakoma gubalega aphangi’aye, gitshinyi giene ngagitambuile gudi enya Amole nu phogo yami ya khusa nu uta wami wa manana.”
