2 And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here I am.
Le zã me la, Mawu ƒo nu na Israel le ŋutega me. Mawu yɔe be, “Yakob! Yakob!” Yakob tɔ be, “Nyee nye esi.”
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.
Gbe la gblɔ be, “Nyee nye Mawu, fofowò ƒe Mawu, mègavɔ̃ na Egipte yiyi o, elabena mana nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe le afi ma.
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.
