Genesis 46
1 So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
以色列遂帶著他所有的一切出發，來到了貝爾舍巴，向他父親依撒格的天主獻了祭，
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
當夜天主在神視中對以色列說：「雅各伯、雅各伯!」他答說：「我在這裏。」
3 God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
天主說：「我是天主，你父親的天主。你不要害怕下到埃及去，因為我要使你在那裏成為一大民族。
4 I will go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
我與你一同下到埃及，也必使你再上來；若瑟要親手合上你的眼。」
5 Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took their father, their wives, and their children, in the carts that the king had sent for them to travel in.
雅各伯遂由貝爾舍巴起程。以色列的兒子們扶自己的父親雅各伯和自己的孩子及妻子，上了法郎派來接他的車，
6 So Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. They took with them the livestock and all the other possessions that they had acquired in Canaan.
帶了家畜和在客納罕地積聚的財物，一同向埃及進發：這樣雅各伯和他所有的孩子，
7 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
即他的兒子、孫子、女兒、孫女，他的一切孩子，都一同來到了埃及。

由雅各伯所生而同來到埃及的人數，除雅各伯的兒媳不計外，共計六十六人。

此外還有若瑟在埃及所生的兒子二人：雅各伯家來到埃及的全體人數，共計七十人。
28 Jacob sent Judah to go ahead of the rest of them to talk with Joseph and ask for directions on how to travel to Goshen. Then [Judah returned to the rest of his family and] they all traveled to the Goshen region. When they arrived there,
雅各伯派猶大先去見若瑟，同他約定在哥笙相見。他們來到了哥笙地方，
29 Joseph got his chariot ready and went to Goshen to meet his father. When Joseph arrived, he threw his arms around his father’s neck and cried a long time.
若瑟套車上哥笙去迎接他父親以色列；一見了他，就撲在他頸上，抱住他的頸，哭了很久。
30 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
以色列對若瑟說：「我見了你的面，見你還活著，現在我可以死了! 」
31 Then Joseph said to his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and to the rest of his father’s family, “I will go to the king and say to him, ‘My [older] brothers [and younger brother] and my father and the rest of his family, who were living in Canaan land, have all come to me.
若瑟對他的兄弟們和父親的家屬說：「我要上去呈報法郎說：我在客納罕地的兄弟們和我父親的家屬，都來到我這裏了。
32 The men are all shepherds. They take care of their livestock, and they have brought with them their sheep and goats and cattle, and everything else that they own.’
這些人都是放羊飼畜的人；他們的羊群牛群和他們所有的一切都帶來了。
33 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
所以，當法郎召見你們，問你們有何職業時，
34 answer him by saying, ‘From the time when we were young, we have taken care of livestock, just as our ancestors did.’ If you tell him that, he will let you live in the Goshen region.” Joseph told them to say that because the people of Egypt despised all shepherds.
你們要答說：你的僕人們自幼直到現在，都是牧養牲畜的人，我們和我們的祖先都是如此。這樣你們才能住在哥笙地方，因為埃及人厭惡一切牧羊的人。」
