< Genesis 46 >

1 And Israel commenced his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
Izrayèl pati avèk tout sa li te genyen. li al Bècheba, li touye bèt, li ofri yo bay Bondye Izarak, papa li.
2 And God spoke unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
Jou lannwit sa a, Bondye pale ak Izrayèl nan rèv, li di l': -Jakòb! Jakòb! Jakòb reponn: -Men mwen wi.
3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father; fear not to go down into Egypt; for a great nation will I make of thee there:
Bondye di li: -Mwen se Bondye, Bondye papa ou la. Ou pa bezwen pè desann ale nan peyi Lejip paske m'ap fè pitit pitit ou yo tounen yon gwo pèp laba a.
4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again; and Joseph shall put his hand upon thy eyes.
M'ap desann avè ou nan peyi Lejip, m'ap fè pitit pitit ou yo tounen isit la ankò. Se Jozèf ki va fèmen je ou lè wa mouri.
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
Jakòb pati, li kite Bècheba. Pitit Izrayèl yo pran Jakòb, papa yo, ansanm ak timoun yo ak madanm yo, yo fè yo moute sou cha farawon an te voye pou yo vwayaje a.
6 And they took their cattle and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt; Jacob, and all his seed with him:
Yo pran tout bèt ak tout byen yo te fè nan peyi Kanaran an. Yo desann nan peyi Lejip. Yo mennen Jakòb desann nan peyi Lejip ak tout pitit pitit li yo.
7 His sons, and his son's sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed he brought with him into Egypt.
Jakòb pran pitit gason l' yo ak pitit fi l' yo, pitit pitit li yo, fi kou gason, li desann nan peyi Lejip ak yo tout.
8 And these are the names of the children of Israel, that came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: the first-born of Jacob, Reuben.

29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen; and when he obtained sight of him, he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
Jozèf fè pare cha li a, li moute, li al Gochenn, li al kontre papa l'. Rive Jozèf rive devan papa l', li lage kò l' nan bra l', li pase yon bon tan ap kriye sou zepòl li.
30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Let me die now, since I have seen thy face, that thou art yet alive.
Izrayèl di Jozèf konsa: -Koulye a, mwen wè figi ou, mwen konnen ou vivan toujou, mwen mèt mouri.
31 And Joseph said unto his brothers, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brothers and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
Epi Jozèf di frè l' yo ak tout fanmi papa l' yo: -Mwen pral avèti wa a. Mwen pral di l': men frè m' yo ak tout fanmi papa m' yo ki t'ap viv nan peyi Kanaran vin jwenn mwen isit la.
32 And the men are shepherds, for they have been owners of cattle; and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, they have brought along.
Se gadò mouton yo ye. Se bèt yo konn gade. Yo mennen tout mouton yo ak tout bèf yo ansanm ak tout sa yo genyen.
33 And it shall come to pass, if Pharaoh should have you called, and say, What is your occupation?
Lè farawon an va rele nou pou mande nou ki metye nou,
34 That ye shall say, Owners of cattle have thy servants been from our youth even until now, both we, as also our fathers; in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
n'a reponn li: Monwa, depi nou tout piti jouk koulye a, se bèt n'ap gade, tankou tout zansèt nou yo. Konsa, nou ka rete nan peyi Gochenn lan. Li te di yo sa paske moun peyi Lejip yo pa ka sipòte wè moun k'ap gade bèt viv nan mitan yo.
