“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.
21 Eka Israel nowacho ne Josef niya, “Koro achiegni tho, to Nyasaye biro bedo kodu kendo nodwoku e piny kwereu.
22 To in, kendo kaka ngʼama duongʼne owetene, amiyi lowo mane akawo kuom jo-Amor gi ligangla kod atungʼ.”
