LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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	1 After these things, it was told Joseph that his father was sick: and he set out to go to him, taking his two sons Manasses and Ephraim.
2 απηγγελη δε τω ιακωβ λεγοντες ιδου ο υιος σου ιωσηφ ερχεται προς σε και ενισχυσας ισραηλ εκαθισεν επι την κλινην	2 And it was told the old man: Behold I thy son Joseph cometh to thee. And being strengthened he sat on his bed.
3 και ειπεν ιακωβ τω ιωσηφ ο θεος μου ωφθη μοι εν λουζα εν γη χανααν και ευλογησεν με	3 And when Joseph was come in to him, he said : God Almighty appeared to me at Lute, which is in the land of Chanaan: and he blessed me,
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	4 And he said : I will cause thee to increase and multiply, and I will make of thee a multitude of people: and I will give this land to thee, and to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
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	5 So thy two sons who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came hither to thee, shall be mine: Ephraim and Manasses shall be reputed to me as Ruben and Simeon.
6 τα δε εκγονα α εαν γεννησης μετα ταυτα σοι εσονται επι τω ονοματι των αδελφων αυτων κληθησονται εν τοις εκεινων κληροις	6 But the rest whom thou shalt have after them, shall be thine, and shall be called by the name of their brethren in their possessions.
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	7 For, when I came out of Mesopotamia, Rachel died from me in the land of Ohanaan in the very journey, and it was springtime: and I was going to Ephrata, and I buried her near the way of Ephrata, which by another name is called Bethlehem.
8 ιδων δε ισραηλ τους υιους ιωσηφ ειπεν τινες σοι ουτοι	8 Then seeing his sons, he said to him: Who are these?
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	9 He answered: They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said: Bring them to me that I may bless 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	10 For Israel's eyes were dim by reason of his great age, and he could not see clearly. And when they were brought to him, he kissed and embraced them.
11 και ειπεν ισραηλ προς ιωσηφ ιδου του προσωπου σου ουκ εστερηθην και ιδου εδειξεν μοι ο θεος και το σπερμα σου	11 And said to his son: I am not deprived of seeing thee: moreover God hath shewed me thy seed.
12 και εξηγαγεν ιωσηφ αυτους απο των γονατων αυτου και προσεκυνησαν αυτω επι προσωπον επι της γης	12 And when Joseph had taken them from his father's lap, he bowed down with his face to the ground.
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	13 And he set Ephraim on his right bend, that is, towards the left hand of Israel; but Manasses on his left hand, to wit, towards his father's right hand, and brought them near to him.
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	14 But he stretching forth his right hand, put it upon the head of Ephraim the younger brother; and the left upon the head of Manasses who was the elder, changing his hands.
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	15 And Jacob blessed the sons of Joseph, and said: God, in whose sight my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, God that feedeth me from my youth until this day;
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	16 The angel that delivereth me from all evils, bless these boys: and let my name be called upon them, and the names of my fathers Abraham, and Isaac, and may they grow into a multitude upon the earth.
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	17 And Joseph seeing that his father had put his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, was much displeased: and taking his father's hand he tried to lift it from Ephraims head, and to remove it to the head of Manasses.
18 ειπεν δε ιωσηφ τω πατρι αυτου ουχ ουτως πατερ ουτος γαρ ο πρωτοτοκος επιθες την δεξιαν σου επι την κεφαλην αυτου	18 And he said to his father: It should not be so, my father: for this is the firstborn, put thy right hand upon his head.
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	19 But he refusing, said: I know, my son, I know: and this also shall become peoples, and shall be multiplied: but this younger brother shall be greater than he: and his seed shall grow into nations.
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	20 And he blessed them at that time, saying: In thee shall Israel be blessed, and it shall be said: God do to thee as to Ephraim, and as to Manasses. And he set Ephraim before Manasses.
21 ειπεν δε ισραηλ τω ιωσηφ ιδου εγω αποθνησκω και εσται ο θεος μεθ' υμων και αποστρεψει υμας εις την γην των πατερων υμων	21 And he said to Joseph his son: Behold I die, and God will be with you, and will bring you back into the land of your fathers.
22 εγω δε διδωμι σοι σικιμα εξαιρετον υπερ τους αδελφους σου ην ελαβον εκ χειρος αμορραιων εν μαχαιρα μου και τοξω	22 I give thee a portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorrhite a with my sword and bow.
