Jenèz 46
1 Epi Israël te pati avèk tout sa li te genyen. Li te vini Beer-Schéba e te ofri sakrifis a Bondye a papa li a, Isaac.
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba; and he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2 Bondye te pale avèk Israël nan vizyon nan nwit lan. Li te di: “Jacob, Jacob.” Jacob te reponn: “Men mwen isit la.”
And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night and said, Jacob, Jacob! And he said, Here am I.
3 Li te di: “Mwen se Bondye, Bondye a papa ou a. Pa pè desann an Égypte, paske mwen va fè nou vin yon gran nasyon la.
And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down to Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation.
4 Mwen va desann avèk nou an Égypte. Mwen va anplis, an verite, fè nou monte ankò. Epi se men Joseph ki va fèmen zye ou.”
I will go down with thee to Egypt, and I will also certainly bring thee up; and Joseph shall put his hand on thine eyes.
