Bangʼ kinde moko Josef nowinjo wach ni wuon mare tuo, kuom mano nokawo yawuote ariyo Manase kod Efraim mondo odhi onene. 
Kane Jakobo owinjo wach ni Josef wuode obiro nene, nochukore mobet e kitandane. 
Jakobo nowacho ne Josef, “Nyasaye Maratego nofwenyorena Luz e piny Kanaan, kendo kanyo ema nogwedha. 
Kendo nowachona niya, ‘Abiro miyo inyaa kendo ibed gi nyithindo mangʼeny. Abiro timi oganda mar ji, kendo abiro miyo nyikwayi pinyni mondo obed girkeni manyaka chiengʼ.’ 
“Eka yawuoti ariyo mane inywolo e piny Misri kane pok abiro iri ka ibiro kwan kaka nyithinda; Efraim kod Manase biro bedo nyithinda mana kaka Reuben kod Simeon. 
Nyithindo ma ibiro nywolo bangʼ-gi ema nobed magi; to kar chamo girkeni, nokwan-gi mana kaka joka Efraim kod Manase. 
Kane aduogo aa Padan, nabuok malich ka Rael minu otho e piny Kanaan kane pok wachopo Efrath. Kuom mano ne aike e bath yo madhi Efrath” (ma tiende ni Bethlehem). 
Kane Israel oneno yawuot Josef nopenjo niya, “Magi ngʼa gini?” 
Josef nowacho ne wuon mare niya, “Gin yawuowi ma Nyasaye osemiya ka.” Eka Israel nowacho niya, “Kelgi ira ka mondo agwedhgi.” 
Koro wenge Israel ne ok nyal neno maber nikech hike noniangʼ. Kuom mano Josef nosudo nyithindo machiegni kendo Israel nokwakogi monyodhogi. 
Israel mowachone Josef niya, “Ne ok apar mar neno wangʼi kendo to koro Nyasaye oseyiena maneno nyaka nyithindi bende.” 
Eka Josef nogolo nyithindogo e chong Israel kendo nokulore nyaka e lowo. 
Kendo Josef nomako lwet nyithindo ariyogo, Efraim e bade korachwich kochomo bad Israel koracham, kendo Manase koracham kochomo bad Israel korachwich kendo nokelogi machiegni gi Israel. 
To Israel norieyo bade ma korachwich moketo ewi Efraim wuowi ma chogo, kendo bade ma koracham ewi Manase kata obedo ni en ema ne en wuowi maduongʼ. 
Eka nogwedho Josef mowachone niya, “Mad Nyasaye ma wuonena Ibrahim kod Isaka nowuothogo, Nyasaye ma osebedo jakwadh ngimana nyaka ndaloni, 
Malaika ma oseresa e chandruok duto mad gwedh raweregi. Mad nyinga kod nying Ibrahim kwara kod Isaka wuora sik kuomgi, kendo gimedre gibed oganda maduongʼ e piny.” 
Kane Josef oneno ka wuon mare keto lwete ma korachwich ewi Efraim ne ok obedo mamor; kuom mano, nogolo lwet wuon-gi ewi Efraim moketo ewi Manase. 
Josef nowachone niya, “Ooyo, wuora ma e wuowi ma kayo: ket lweti ma korachwich e wiye.” 
To wuon-gi nodagi mowachone niya, “Angʼeyo mano nyathina. Manase bende biro bedo oganda maduongʼ. To kata kamano owadgi matin nobed giduongʼ moloye kendo nyikwaye nobed ogendini mangʼeny.” 
Nogwedhogi chiengʼno, kendo owachonegi niya, “Ka Israel dwaro gwedho ngʼato to nokonyre gi nyingu kowacho kama, ‘Mad Nyasaye gwedhi kaka osegwedho Efraim kod Manase.’ ” Kuom mano noketo Efraim obedo maduongʼ ne Manase. 
Eka Israel nowacho ne Josef niya, “Koro achiegni tho, to Nyasaye biro bedo kodu kendo nodwoku e piny kwereu. 
To in, kendo kaka ngʼama duongʼne owetene, amiyi lowo mane akawo kuom jo-Amor gi ligangla kod atungʼ.”
