< 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.
Pea fononga ʻa ʻIsileli mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu, pea haʻu ia ki Peasipa, pea ne ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAisake.
2 And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here I am.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻoe pō, ʻo ne pehē, “Sēkope, Sēkope;” pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au eni.”
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e ʻOtua au, ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamai: ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ke ʻalu hifo ki ʻIsipite, he te u ngaohi ʻaki koe ʻi ai ʻae puleʻanga lahi.
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.
Pea te u ʻalu mo koe ki ʻIsipite; pea ko e moʻoni te u toe ʻomi koe mei ai; pea ʻe ʻai ʻe Siosefa hono nima ki ho mata.”
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.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Sēkope mei Peasipa: pea ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsileli naʻa nau ʻomi ʻa ʻenau tamai ko Sēkope, mo ʻenau fānau, mo honau ngaahi uaifi ʻi he ngaahi saliote naʻe fekau ʻe Felo ke fetuku ʻaki ʻakinautolu.
6 And they took up their goods, and all their property, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, they came into the land of Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻenau fanga manu mo ʻenau koloa, naʻa nau maʻu ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo nau haʻu ki ʻIsipite, ʻa Sēkope, mo hono hako kotoa pē mo ia:
7 the sons, and the sons of his sons with him, his daughters, and the daughters of his daughters. And he brought all his seed into Egypt.
Ko hono ngaahi foha, mo e ngaahi foha ʻo hono ngaahi foha mo ia, mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo hono ngaahi foha, mo hono hako kotoa pē, naʻe haʻu mo ia ki ʻIsipite.

28 And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show the way before him to Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.

29 And Joseph made his chariot ready, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen. And he presented himself to him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
Pea teuteu ʻe Siosefa hono saliote, pea ʻalu ia ke fakafetaulaki ki heʻene tamai ʻi Koseni, ʻo ne fakahā ia kiate ia: pea ne fāʻufua ia ʻo faʻaki ki hono kia ʻo tangi fuoloa.
30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, that thou are yet alive.
Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosefa, “Ko eni tuku ke u mate, he koeʻuhi kuo u mamata ki ho mata, pea ʻoku ke kei moʻui.”
31 And Joseph said to his brothers, and to his father's house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and will say to him, My brothers, and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai, “Te u ʻalu hake ʻo fakahā kia Felo, ʻo tala kiate ia, ko hoku ngaahi tokoua, mo e fale ʻo ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, kuo nau haʻu kiate au.
32 And the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of cattle, and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
Pea ko e kau tauhi sipi ʻae kau tangata, he ko ʻenau ngāue ko e fafanga ʻae fanga manu; pea kuo nau ʻomi ʻenau fanga manu mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau maʻu.
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka ui ʻa Felo kiate kimoutolu, ʻo ne fehuʻi pe ko e hā ʻa hoʻomou faiva;
34 that ye shall say, Thy servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers, that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
Pea te mou pehē, ‘Ko e ngāue ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki talu ʻemau kei siʻi ʻo fai mai ni, ʻio ʻakimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, ko e tauhimanu;’ koeʻuhi ke mou nofo ʻi he fonua ko Koseni,” he ʻoku fakalielia ki he kakai ʻIsipite, ʻae tauhi sipi kotoa pē.
