Genesis 46
1 And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.
Awo Isirayiri n’addira byonna bye yalina, n’atandika olugendo; bwe yatuuka e Beriseba n’awaayo ssaddaaka eri Katonda wa kitaawe Isaaka.
2 And God said to Israel in a night-vision, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
Katonda n’ayogera ne Isirayiri mu kwolesebwa ekiro, n’amuyita nti, “Yakobo, Yakobo?” N’amuddamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
3 And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:
Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda, Katonda wa kitaawo; totya kuserengeta Misiri, kubanga ndi kufuulirayo eyo eggwanga eddene.
4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.
Nzija kuserengeta naawe e Misiri, era ndi kuggyayo; era olifiira mu mikono gya Yusufu.”
5 Then Jacob went on from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Jacob took their father and their little ones and their wives in the carts which Pharaoh had sent for them.
Awo Yakobo n’ava e Beriseba, batabani be ne bamutwalira wamu n’abaana baabwe abato, ne bakazi baabwe ne babassa mu magaali Falaawo ge yaweereza okumutwala.
6 And they took their cattle and all the goods which they had got in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, even Jacob and all his seed:
Era ne batwala ebisibo n’ebintu byabwe bye baafunira mu nsi ya Kanani ne batuuka e Misiri, Yakobo wamu n’ezzadde lye.
7 His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his daughters' sons and all his family he took with him into Egypt.
Batabani be ne bazzukulu be, bawala be n’abaana ba bawala be; ezzadde lye lyonna n’alireeta mu Misiri wamu naye.
8 And these are the names of the children of Israel who came into Egypt, even Jacob and all his sons: Reuben, Jacob's oldest son;
Gano ge mannya g’abazzukulu ba Isirayiri abaagenda e Misiri ne Yakobo: Lewubeeni mutabani wa Yakobo omubereberye,
9 And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch and Pallu and Hezron and Carmi;
ne batabani ba Lewubeeni: Kanoki, ne Palu, ne Kezulooni ne Kalumi.
10 And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan;

11 And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari;
Ne batabani ba Leevi: Gerusoni, ne Kokasi ne Merali.
12 And the sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah: but Er and Onan had come to their death in the land of Canaan; and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
N’aba Yuda: Eri, ne Onani, ne Seera, ne Pereezi ne Zeera; naye bo Eri ne Onani baafiira mu nsi ya Kanani. Batabani ba Pereezi baali: Kezulooni ne Kamuli.
13 And the sons of Issachar: Tola and Puah and Job and Shimron;

14 And the sons of Zebulun: Sered and Elon and Jahleel;
Batabani ba Zebbulooni baali Seredi, ne Eroni ne Yaleeri.
15 All these, together with his daughter Dinah, were the children of Leah, whom Jacob had by her in Paddan-aram; they were thirty-three in number.
Abo be batabani ba Leeya be yazaalira Yakobo nga bali mu Padanalaamu, omuwala ye yali Dina. Abaana bonna aboobulenzi n’aboobuwala baali amakumi asatu mu basatu.
16 And the sons of Gad: Ziphion and Haggi, Shuni and Ezbon, Eri and Arodi and Areli;
Batabani ba Gaadi baali Zifiyooni, ne Kagi, ne Suni, ne Ezuboni, ne Eri, ne Alodi ne Aleri.
17 And the sons of Asher: Jimnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah, and Sarah, their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.
Bo batabani ba Aseri be bano: Imuna, ne Isuva, ne Isuvi, ne Beriya awamu ne Seera mwannyinaabwe. Bo Batabani ba Beriya baali Keba ne Malukiyeeri.
18 These are the children of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah, and Jacob had these sixteen children by her.
Bano be batabani ba Zirupa, Labbaani gwe yawa Leeya muwala we, be yazaalira Yakobo; abantu kkumi na mukaaga.
19 The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.
Batabani ba Laakeeri, mukazi wa Yakobo be bano Yusufu ne Benyamini.
20 And Joseph had Manasseh and Ephraim in the land of Egypt, by Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On.
Aba Yusufu ng’ali e Misiri baali Manase ne Efulayimu, Asenaasi muwala wa Potiferi kabona wa Oni be yamuzaalira.
21 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Rosh, Muppim and Huppim and Ard.
Ne batabani ba Benyamini be ba: Bera, ne Bekeri, ne Asuberi, ne Gera, ne Naamani, ne Eki, ne Losi, ne Mupimu, ne Kupimu ne Aludi.
22 All these were the children of Rachel whom Jacob had by her, fourteen persons.
Abantu abasibuka mu Laakeeri mukazi wa Yakobo baali kkumi na bana.
23 And the son of Dan was Hushim.
Mutabani wa Ddaani ye Kusimu.
24 And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel and Guni and Jezer and Shillem.
Bo aba Nafutaali be ba: Yazeeri, ne Guni, ne Yezeri, ne Siremu.
25 These were the children of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel, seven persons.
Bano be baava mu Biira mukazi wa Yakobo, Labbaani gwe yawa Laakeeri muwala we; bonna be bantu musanvu.
26 All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt, the offspring of his body, were sixty-six, without taking into account the wives of Jacob's sons.
Abantu bonna aba Yakobo abajja mu Misiri, ab’enda ye nga totaddeeko baka baana be, baali abantu nkaaga mu mukaaga.
27 And the sons of Joseph whom he had in Egypt were two. Seventy persons of the family of Jacob came into Egypt.
Batabani ba Yusufu abaamuzaalirwa ng’ali mu Misiri baali babiri. Abantu bonna ab’ennyumba ya Yakobo abajja e Misiri baali nsanvu.
28 Now he had sent Judah before him to Goshen, to get word from Joseph; and so they came to the land of Goshen.
Yakobo n’atuma Yuda eri Yusufu ajje amusisinkane mu Goseni, ne batuuka e Goseni.
29 And Joseph got his carriage ready and went to Goshen for the meeting with his father; and when he came before him, he put his arms round his neck, weeping.
Awo Yusufu n’ateekateeka eggaali lye n’agenda okusisinkana Isirayiri kitaawe e Goseni, n’amweraga, n’amugwa mu kifuba n’akaabira mu kifuba kye okumala akabanga.
30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now that I have seen you living again, I am ready for death.
Isirayiri n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Kale kaakano ka nfe, kubanga ndabye amaaso go ne ntegeera nti okyali mulamu.”
31 And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's people, I will go and give the news to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brothers and my father's people, from the land of Canaan, have come to me;
Yusufu n’agamba baganda be n’ab’ennyumba ya kitaawe nti, “Nzija kugenda eri Falaawo mugambe nti, ‘Baganda bange n’ennyumba ya kitange abaali mu nsi ya Kanani bazze gye ndi.
32 And these men are keepers of sheep and owners of cattle, and have with them their flocks and their herds and all they have.
Kyokka balunzi; balunda ente era baleese amagana gaabwe n’ebisibo byabwe ne byonna bye balina.’
33 Now when Pharaoh sends for you and says, What is your business?
Kale Falaawo bw’abayita n’ababuuza nti, ‘Mukola mulimu ki?’
34 You are to say, Your servants have been keepers of cattle from our early days up to now, like our fathers; in this way you will be able to have the land of Goshen for yourselves; because keepers of sheep are unclean in the eyes of the Egyptians.
Mumuddemu nti, ‘Abaweereza bo kasookedde tuzaalibwa tuli balunzi, ffe ne bajjajjaffe.’ Mulyoke mubeere mu nsi ya Goseni, kubanga abalunzi baamuzizo eri Abamisiri.”
