Genesis 46
1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Enti Israel de nʼahode nyinaa sii mu koduu Beer-Seba. Ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn a na nʼagya Isak som no no afɔre wɔ hɔ.
2 And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
Anadwo anisoadehu mu no, Onyankopɔn frɛɛ Yakob se, “Yakob! Yakob!” Yakob gyee so se, “Me ni.”
3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mene Onyankopɔn. Onyankopɔn a wʼagya som no. Nsuro sɛ wobɛkɔ Misraim, efisɛ mɛma wʼase adɔ ayɛ ɔman kɛse wɔ hɔ.
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 thine eyes.
Mʼankasa ne wo bɛkɔ Misraim, na masan de wo aba ha. Edu bere a worebewu a, wubewu wɔ Yosef nsam.”
5 And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: 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.
Na Yakob sii mu fii Beer-Seba. Israelmma no de wɔn agya Yakob, wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma tenatenaa nteaseɛnam a Farao soma ma wɔde bɛfaa wɔn no mu.
6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
Wɔfaa wɔn mmoa ne wɔn agyapade a wɔanya wɔ Kanaan asase so no nyinaa kaa wɔn ho kɔɔ Misraim. Yakob ne nʼasefo nyinaa sii mu kɔɔ Misraim.
7 His sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
Israel de ne mmabarima, ne nenanom, ne mmabea ne wɔn mma a wɔn nyinaa yɛ nʼasefo kaa ne ho kɔɔ Misraim.
8 And these are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.

28 And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
Israel somaa Yuda ma odii kan kɔɔ Yosef hɔ kobisaa no Gosen kwan. Akyiri no, wokoduu Gosen.
29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself to him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
Yosef siesiee ne nteaseɛnam ma wɔkɔɔ Gosen kohyiaa nʼagya Israel. Yosef duu nʼagya Yakob anim pɛ na ɔbam no, sui ara kwansin.
30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Ohu a mahu wo sɛ wote ase yi nti, sɛ owu bɛfa me nnɛ koraa a, mepɛ.”
31 And Joseph said to his brethren, and to his father’s house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say to him, My brethren, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come to me;
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no ne nʼagya fifo no se, “Mɛkɔ akɔka akyerɛ Farao se, ‘Me nuabarimanom ne mʼagya fifo a na anka wɔte Kanaan asase so nyinaa aba ha abɛka me ho.
32 And the men are shepherds, for their occupation hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
Mmarima no yɛ nguanhwɛfo. Wɔhwɛ mmoa so. Na wɔde wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi ne biribiara a wɔwɔ aba.’
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
Sɛ Farao frɛ mo, na obisa mo se, ‘Adwuma bɛn na moyɛ a,’
34 That ye shall say, The occupation of thy servants hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
momma no mmuae se, ‘Wo nkoa ayɛn mmoa fi wɔn mmofraase, te sɛ nea yɛn agyanom yɛe no ara pɛpɛɛpɛ.’ Sɛ moka saa kyerɛ no a, ɔbɛma mode Gosen ayɛ mo atenae, efisɛ Misraimfo kyi nguanhwɛfo kɔkɔɔkɔ.”
