51 UYosefu walithiya izibulo lakhe igama elinguManase,*+ kuba wathi, “UThixo undenze ndazilibala zonke iingxaki zam nayo yonke indlu katata.” 52 Owesibini wamthiya igama elinguEfrayim,*+ kuba wathi, “UThixo undenze ndaqhama elizweni leentsizi zam.”+

20 Kwilizwe laseYiputa uYosefu wazalelwa uManase+ noEfrayim,+ ebazalelwa nguAsenati+ intombi kaPotifera, umbingeleli waseOni.*

17 Uthe uYosefu akubona ukuba utata wakhe uqhubeka ebeke isandla sakhe sasekunene phezu kwentloko kaEfrayim, akayithanda loo nto. Ngoko wazama ukusisusa isandla sikatata wakhe phezu kwentloko kaEfrayim aze asibeke kwekaManase. 18 UYosefu wathi kutata wakhe: “Sukwenza ngolu hlobo tata, kuba nanku owamazibulo.+ Beka isandla sakho sasekunene entlokweni yakhe.” 19 Kodwa utata wakhe wala, wathi: “Ndiyazi nyana wam, ndiyazi. Naye uza kuba sisizwana ibe naye uza kuba mkhulu. Kodwa ke umninawa wakhe uza kuba mkhulu kunaye,+ kwaye inzala* yakhe iza kuba ziintlanga ezininzi.”+

18 “Iqela* elibunjwa zizizwe ezithathu elikhokelwa sisizwe sakwaEfrayim, liza kuba ngasentshona, yaye inkosi yoonyana bakaEfrayim nguElishama+ unyana ka-Amihudi. 19 Ababhaliswayo kumkhosi wakhe bayi-40 500.+
