Chakruok 46
1 Kuom mano Israel nowuok kod gige duto, kendo kane ochopo Bersheba, notimo misango ne Nyasach Isaka wuon-gi.
So Israel set out with all that he had, and when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2 Kendo Nyasaye nowuoyogi Israel e fweny gotieno kendo owachone niya, “Jakobo! Jakobo!” Nodwoke niya, “Antie.”
And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.
3 Nyasaye nowachone niya, “An Nyasaye ma Nyasach wuonu. Kik iluor dhi Misri, nikech anami ibedi oganda maduongʼ kuno.
“I am God,” He said, “the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.
4 Abiro dhi kodi Misri kendo nachak aduogi ka adier kendo Josef ema noyuo wangʼi sa thoni.”
I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”
5 Eka Jakobo nowuok Bersheba, kendo yawuot Israel noketo wuon-gi kod nyithindgi, kod mondgi e geche mane Farao oseorone.
Then Jacob departed from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him, along with their children and wives.

Joseph prepared his chariot and went there to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, embraced him, and wept profusely.
