創世記 46
1 イスラエルはその持ち物をことごとく携えて旅立ち、ベエルシバに行って、父イサクの神に犠牲をささげた。
Israel made his journey with all that he had and went to Beersheba. There he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2 この時、神は夜の幻のうちにイスラエルに語って言われた、「ヤコブよ、ヤコブよ」。彼は言った、「ここにいます」。
God spoke to Israel in a vision at night, saying, “Jacob, Jacob.” He said, “Here I am.”
3 神は言われた、「わたしは神、あなたの父の神である。エジプトに下るのを恐れてはならない。わたしはあそこであなたを大いなる国民にする。
He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not fear to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you a great nation.
4 わたしはあなたと一緒にエジプトに下り、また必ずあなたを導き上るであろう。ヨセフが手ずからあなたの目を閉じるであろう」。
I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will surely bring you up again and Joseph will close your eyes with his own hand.”
5 そしてヤコブはベエルシバを立った。イスラエルの子らはヤコブを乗せるためにパロの送った車に、父ヤコブと幼な子たちと妻たちを乗せ、
Jacob rose up from Beersheba. The sons of Israel transported Jacob their father, their children, and their wives, in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
6 またその家畜とカナンの地で得た財産を携え、ヤコブとその子孫は皆ともにエジプトへ行った。
They took their livestock and their possessions that they had accumulated in the land of Canaan. They came into Egypt, Jacob and all his descendants with him.
7 こうしてヤコブはその子と、孫および娘と孫娘などその子孫をみな連れて、エジプトへ行った。
He brought with him to Egypt his sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his sons' daughters, and all his descendants.

Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen. He saw him, hugged his neck, and wept on his neck a long time.

Israel said to Joseph, “Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.”

The men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock. They have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.'

It will come about, when Pharaoh calls you and asks, 'What is your occupation?'
34 『しもべらは幼い時から、ずっと家畜の牧者です。われわれも、われわれの先祖もそうです』と言いなさい。そうすればあなたがたはゴセンの地に住むことができましょう。羊飼はすべて、エジプトびとの忌む者だからです」。
that you should say, 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth until now, both we, and our forefathers.' Do this so that you may live in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”
