Genesis 48

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	LXX
1 After this Joseph was told, "Behold, your father is ill"; so he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.	1 εγενετο δε μετα τα ρηματα ταυτα και απηγγελη τω ιωσηφ οτι ο πατηρ σου ενοχλειται και αναλαβων τους δυο υιους αυτου τον μανασση και τον εφραιμ ηλθεν προς ιακωβ
2 And it was told to Jacob, "Your son Joseph has come to you"; then Israel summoned his strength, and sat up in bed.	2 απηγγελη δε τω ιακωβ λεγοντες ιδου ο υιος σου ιωσηφ ερχεται προς σε και ενισχυσας ισραηλ εκαθισεν επι την κλινην
3 And Jacob said to Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,	3 και ειπεν ιακωβ τω ιωσηφ ο θεος μου ωφθη μοι εν λουζα εν γη χανααν και ευλογησεν με
4 and said to me, 'Behold, I will make you fruitful, and multiply you, and I will make of you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you for an everlasting possession.'	4 και ειπεν μοι ιδου εγω αυξανω σε και πληθυνω σε και ποιησω σε εις συναγωγας εθνων και δωσω σοι την γην ταυτην και τω σπερματι σου μετα σε εις κατασχεσιν αιωνιον
5 And now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.	5 νυν ουν οι δυο υιοι σου οι γενομενοι σοι εν αιγυπτω προ του με ελθειν προς σε εις αιγυπτον εμοι εισιν εφραιμ και μανασση ως ρουβην και συμεων εσονται μοι
6 And the offspring born to you after them shall be yours; they shall be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.	6 τα δε εκγονα α εαν γεννησης μετα ταυτα σοι εσονται επι τω ονοματι των αδελφων αυτων κληθησονται εν τοις εκεινων κληροις
7 For when I came from Paddan, Rachel to my sorrow died in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)."	7 εγω δε ηνικα ηρχομην εκ μεσοποταμιας της συριας απεθανεν ραχηλ η μητηρ σου εν γη χανααν εγγιζοντος μου κατα τον ιπποδρομον χαβραθα της γης του ελθειν εφραθα και κατωρυξα αυτην εν τη οδω του ιπποδρομου αυτη εστιν βαιθλεεμ
8 When Israel saw Joseph's sons, he said, "Who are these?"	8 ιδων δε ισραηλ τους υιους ιωσηφ ειπεν τινες σοι ουτοι
9 Joseph said to his father, "They are my sons, whom God has given me here." And he said, "Bring them to me, I pray you, that I may bless them."	9 ειπεν δε ιωσηφ τω πατρι αυτου υιοι μου εισιν ους εδωκεν μοι ο θεος ενταυθα και ειπεν ιακωβ προσαγαγε μοι αυτους ινα ευλογησω αυτους
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. So Joseph brought them near him; and he kissed them and embraced them.	10 οι δε οφθαλμοι ισραηλ εβαρυωπησαν απο του γηρους και ουκ ηδυνατο βλεπειν και ηγγισεν αυτους προς αυτον και εφιλησεν αυτους και περιελαβεν αυτους
11 And Israel said to Joseph, "I had not thought to see your face; and lo, God has let me see your children also."	11 και ειπεν ισραηλ προς ιωσηφ ιδου του προσωπου σου ουκ εστερηθην και ιδου εδειξεν μοι ο θεος και το σπερμα σου
12 Then Joseph removed them from his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.	12 και εξηγαγεν ιωσηφ αυτους απο των γονατων αυτου και προσεκυνησαν αυτω επι προσωπον επι της γης
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near him.	13 λαβων δε ιωσηφ τους δυο υιους αυτου τον τε εφραιμ εν τη δεξια εξ αριστερων δε ισραηλ τον δε μανασση εν τη αριστερα εκ δεξιων δε ισραηλ ηγγισεν αυτους αυτω
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it upon the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand upon the head of Manasseh, crossing his hands, for Manasseh was the first-born.	14 εκτεινας δε ισραηλ την χειρα την δεξιαν επεβαλεν επι την κεφαλην εφραιμ ουτος δε ην ο νεωτερος και την αριστεραν επι την κεφαλην μανασση εναλλαξ τας χειρας
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, "The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has led me all my life long to this day,	15 και ηυλογησεν αυτους και ειπεν ο θεος ω ευηρεστησαν οι πατερες μου εναντιον αυτου αβρααμ και ισαακ ο θεος ο τρεφων με εκ νεοτητος εως της ημερας ταυτης
16 the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and in them let my name be perpetuated, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."	16 ο αγγελος ο ρυομενος με εκ παντων των κακων ευλογησαι τα παιδια ταυτα και επικληθησεται εν αυτοις το ονομα μου και το ονομα των πατερων μου αβρααμ και ισαακ και πληθυνθειησαν εις πληθος πολυ επι της γης
17 When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; and he took his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.	17 ιδων δε ιωσηφ οτι επεβαλεν ο πατηρ την δεξιαν αυτου επι την κεφαλην εφραιμ βαρυ αυτω κατεφανη και αντελαβετο ιωσηφ της χειρος του πατρος αυτου αφελειν αυτην απο της κεφαλης εφραιμ επι την κεφαλην μανασση
18 And Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father; for this one is the first-born; put your right hand upon his head."	18 ειπεν δε ιωσηφ τω πατρι αυτου ουχ ουτως πατερ ουτος γαρ ο πρωτοτοκος επιθες την δεξιαν σου επι την κεφαλην αυτου
19 But his father refused, and said, "I know, my son, I know; he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; nevertheless his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations."	19 και ουκ ηθελησεν αλλα ειπεν οιδα τεκνον οιδα και ουτος εσται εις λαον και ουτος υψωθησεται αλλα ο αδελφος αυτου ο νεωτερος μειζων αυτου εσται και το σπερμα αυτου εσται εις πληθος εθνων
20 So he blessed them that day, saying, "By you Israel will pronounce blessings, saying, 'God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh"; and thus he put Ephraim before Manasseh.	20 και ευλογησεν αυτους εν τη ημερα εκεινη λεγων εν υμιν ευλογηθησεται ισραηλ λεγοντες ποιησαι σε ο θεος ως εφραιμ και ως μανασση και εθηκεν τον εφραιμ εμπροσθεν του μανασση
21 Then Israel said to Joseph, "Behold, I am about to die, but God will be with you, and will bring you again to the land of your fathers.	21 ειπεν δε ισραηλ τω ιωσηφ ιδου εγω αποθνησκω και εσται ο θεος μεθ' υμων και αποστρεψει υμας εις την γην των πατερων υμων
22 Moreover I have given to you rather than to your brothers one mountain slope which I took from the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow."	22 εγω δε διδωμι σοι σικιμα εξαιρετον υπερ τους αδελφους σου ην ελαβον εκ χειρος αμορραιων εν μαχαιρα μου και τοξω
