Genesis 46
1 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.
Isarel teh a tawn e pueng hoi a tâco. Beersheba vah a pha teh a na pa Isak Cathut koe thuengnae a sak.
2 And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.
Cathut ni karum a mang lah Isarel koe lawk a dei teh, Jakop Jakop telah ati. Ahni ni, hivah ka o, telah ati.
3 “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.
Ahni ni, kai teh Cathut nange Cathut lah ka o. Izip ram lah na cei hane hah taket hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, miphun kalen lah na coung sak han.
4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”
Nang koe Izip lah ka cei van vaiteh, bout na hrawi han, hahoi Joseph ni na mit dawk na kut a hruek han telah ati.
5 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.
Hottelah hoi Jakop teh, Beersheba hoi a tâco teh, Isarel e capanaw ni, a na pa Jakop hoi a canaw hoi a yunaw a kâcui nahanelah Faro ni na patawn e leng dawk na kâcui sak han.
6 They also took the livestock and possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt.
Jakop hoi a catoun pueng Kanaan ram e a hmu awh e a saringnaw hoi a hnopainaw hoi a tâcokhai teh Izip vah a cei awh.
7 Jacob took with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons, and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.
A capa hoi a pahringcanaw hoi a miphun a catoun pueng hah Izip vah a kâenkhai awh.
8 Now these are the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn.

26 All those belonging to Jacob who came to Egypt—his direct descendants, besides the wives of Jacob’s sons—numbered sixty-six persons.
Jakop e a capanaw e yu hmai touksin laipalah Jakop koe Izip ram rei ka cet e tami abuemlah 66 touh a pha awh.
27 And with the two sons who had been born to Joseph in Egypt, the members of Jacob’s family who went to Egypt were seventy in all.
Joseph ni Izip ram e a capa a khe e naw teh kahni touh a pha Jakop imthung Izip ram dawk kâen e pueng teh 70 touh a pha awh.
28 Now Jacob had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen. When Jacob’s family arrived in the land of Goshen,
Jakop ni Goshen lam pâtue hanelah Judah teh Joseph koe hmaloe a ceisak teh, hottelah hoi Goshen ram lah a pha awh.
29 Joseph prepared his chariot and went there to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, embraced him, and wept profusely.
Joseph ni a leng hah coungkacoe a rakueng teh Goshen vah a na pa a dawn hanelah a cei. Ahni koe a kâpanuesak teh a lahuen dawk a tapam teh a tapam laihoi ngailawi a ka.
30 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Finally I can die, now that I have seen your face and know that you are still alive!”
Isarel ni Joseph koevah, na hring rah dawkvah, na mei bout ka hmu toe, atuteh kadout lawi nakunghai yah, telah ati.
31 Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and inform Pharaoh: ‘My brothers and my father’s household from the land of Canaan have come to me.
Joseph ni a hmaunawngha a na pa imthung koevah, ka cei vaiteh, Faro koe ka dei pouh vaiteh, ahni koevah, ka hmaunawngha hoi apa imthung Kanaan ram kaawm e hah kai koe a pha awh toe.
32 The men are shepherds; they raise livestock, and they have brought their flocks and herds and all that they own.’

33 When Pharaoh summons you and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’
Faro ni na kaw awh teh, bang thaw maw ouk na tawk awh na tet pouh pawiteh,
34 you are to say, ‘Your servants have raised livestock ever since our youth—both we and our fathers.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the land of Goshen, since all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.”
