Genesis 46
1 Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.
Israeli akasafiri na yote aliyokuwa nayo na akaja Beersheba. Pale akatoa sadaka kwa Mungu wa Isaka baba yake.
2 God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He said, “Here I am.”
Mungu akamwambia Israeli katika ndoto usiku, akisema, “Yakobo, Yakobo.”
3 He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
Akasema, “Mimi hapa.” Akasema, “Mimi ni Mungu, Mungu wa baba yako. Usiogope kushuka Misri, kwa maana nitakufanya taifa kubwa huko.
4 I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes.”
Nitakwenda pamoja nawe huko Misri, Nami nitakupandisha huku tena bila shaka. Na Yusufu akayafunika macho yako kwa mikono wake.”
5 Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
