5 Kwaye ngoku, ngokonyana bakho ababini, uEfrayim noManase, owabazalelwayo ezweni laseYiputa, ndingekafiki kuwe eYiputa; qaphela, ngabam, kwaye uThixo woobawo uya kubasikelela; nkqu njengoRubhen noSimon baya kusikelelwa, kuba ngabam; ngako oko baya kubizwa emva kwegama lam. (Ke ngoko kwathiwa banguSirayeli.)

6 Kwaye umba wakho owuzeleyo emva kwabo, uya kuba ngowakho, kwaye uya kubizwa ngawe ngegama labazalwana babo elifeni labo, kwizizwe; ke ngoko babizwa izizwe zikaManase nezikaEfrayim.

7 Kwaye uYakobi wathi kuYosefu, Xa uThixo woobawo wabonakala kum eLuzi, elizweni lakwaKanan; wafunga kum, okokuba uya kundinika, nembewu yam, ilizwe libe libango lanaphakade.

8 Ke ngoko, Owu nyana wam, undisikelele ngokukunyusela phezulu ube sisicaka kum, ngokusindisa indlu yam ekufeni;

9 Ngokukhulula abantu, abazalwana bam, endlaleni ebinkulu elizweni; ngako oko uThixo wooyihlo uya kukusikelela, nesiqhamo sesinqe sakho, ukuze babe baya kusikelelwa ngaphezu kwabazalwana bakho, nangaphezu kwendlu kayihlo;

10 Kuba wena woyisile, kwaye indlu kayihlo iqubude phantsi kwakho, nkqu njengoko kwakubonisiwe kuwe, phambi kokuba uthengiselwe eYiphutha ngezandla zabazalwana bakho; ngako oko abazalwana bakho baya kuqubuda phantsi kwakho, ukususela kwisizukulwana kuye kwisizukulwana, kuso isiqhamo sesinqe sakho ngonaphakade;

11 Kuba uya kuba lukhanyiselo ebantwini bam, lokubakhulula ngemihla yokuthinjwa kwabo, ebukhobokeni; nokuzisa usindiso kubo, xa bequbuda ngokupheleleyo phantsi kwesono.
