Genesis 46
1 And Israel departed, he and all that he had, and came to the well of the oath; and he offered sacrifice to the God of his father Isaac.
Israeli anasonkhanitsa zonse anali nazo napita ku Beeriseba kukapereka nsembe kwa Mulungu wa abambo ake Isake.
2 And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?
Ndipo Mulungu anayankhula ndi Israeli mʼmasomphenya usiku nati, “Yakobo! Yakobo!” Iye anayankha, “Ee, Ambuye.”
3 And he says to him, I am the God of your fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make you there a great nation.
Mulungu anati, “Ine ndine Mulungu. Mulungu wa abambo ako. Usachite mantha kupita ku Igupto, pakuti ndidzachulukitsa zidzukulu zako kumeneko moti zidzakhala mtundu waukulu.
4 And I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will bring you up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on your eyes.
Ine ndidzapita ku Igupto pamodzi ndi iwe ndipo mosakayika konse zidzukulu zako ndidzazibweretsa konkuno. Yosefe adzakhalapo pa nthawi yako yomwalira.”
5 And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath; and the sons of Israel took up their father, and the baggage, and their wives on the waggons, which Joseph sent to take them.
Yakobo anachoka ku Beeriseba, ndipo ana ake anakweza abambo awo, ana awo, pamodzi ndi akazi awo pa ngolo zimene Farao anatumiza kuti adzakwerepo.
6 And they took up their goods, and all their property, which they had gotten in the land of Chanaan; they came into the land of Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him.

Anthuwa ndi abusa; amaweta ziweto zawo ndipo abwera ndi nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zawo, pamodzi ndi antchito awo.’
33 If then Pharao call you, and say to you, What is you occupation?
Tsono Farao akakuyitanani nakufunsani kuti, ‘Kodi mumagwira ntchito yanji?’
34 You shall say, We your servants are herdsmen from our youth until now, both we and our fathers: that you may dwell in the land of Gesem of Arabia, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
