Genesis 46
1 So Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to 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 to Israel in a vision at night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."
Jou lannwit sa a, Bondye pale ak Izrayèl nan rèv, li di l': -Jakòb! Jakòb! Jakòb reponn: -Men mwen wi.
3 He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation.
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 you into Egypt, and I myself will surely bring you up again, and Joseph will close your 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 Then Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, and their little ones, and their wives on 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 So they took their livestock and their possessions which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and arrived in Egypt, Jacob and all his descendants 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 sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and he brought all his descendants with him to Egypt.

32 The men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.'
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 will come to pass, when Pharaoh summons you and says, 'What is your occupation?'
Lè farawon an va rele nou pou mande nou ki metye nou,
34 that you are to say, 'Your servants have looked after livestock from our youth until now, both we, and our fathers: 'in order that you may settle in the land of Goshen; since all shepherds are detestable to 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.
