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.
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 that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.
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 “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.
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 you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your 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 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.
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 They also took the livestock and possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt.
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 Jacob took with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons, and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.
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.

20 Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.
Pea naʻe tupu ia Siosefa ʻi he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ʻa Manase, mo ʻIfalemi, ʻaia naʻe fanauʻi kiate ia ʻe ʻAsinate ko e ʻofefine ʻo Potifela ko e taulaʻeiki ʻo ʻOni.

26 All those belonging to Jacob who came to Egypt—his direct descendants, besides the wives of Jacob’s sons—numbered sixty-six persons.
Ko e laumālie kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mo Sēkope ki ʻIsipite, ʻaia naʻe tupu ʻiate ia, ka ʻoku ʻikai lau ʻae ngaahi uaifi ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Sēkope; ko e laumālie ʻe toko onongofulu ma toko ono.
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.

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,
Pea naʻa ne fekau ʻa Siuta ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia, ke fakahinohino ia ki Koseni; pea naʻa nau hoko ki he fonua ko Koseni.
29 Joseph prepared his chariot and went there to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, embraced him, and wept profusely.
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 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Finally I can die, now that I have seen your face and know that you are still 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 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.
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 The men are shepherds; they raise livestock, and they have brought their flocks and herds and all that they own.’
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 When Pharaoh summons you and asks, ‘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 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.”
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.
