Genesis 46
1 And Israel, setting out with all that he had, arrived at the Well of the Oath. And sacrificing victims there to the God of his father Isaac,
Isalaele akendeki na nyonso oyo azalaki na yango. Tango akomaki na Beri-Sheba, abonzaki mbeka epai ya Nzambe ya Izaki, tata na ye.
2 he heard him, by a vision in the night, calling him, and saying to him: “Jacob, Jacob.” And he answered him, “Behold, here I am.”
Na butu, Nzambe alobaki na Isalaele na nzela ya emoniseli: — Jakobi! Jakobi! Jakobi azongisaki: — Ngai oyo.
3 God said to him: “I am the most strong God of your father. Do not be afraid. Descend into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
Nzambe alobaki: — Nazali Nzambe, Nzambe ya tata na yo. Kobanga te kokende na Ejipito, pamba te nakokomisa yo ekolo monene kuna.
4 I will descend with you to that place, and I will lead you back from there, returning. Also, Joseph will place his hands over your eyes.
Ngai moko nakokende elongo na yo na Ejipito; mpe ya solo, nakozongisa yo lisusu. Loboko ya Jozefi ekozipa miso na yo.
5 Then Jacob rose up from the Well of the Oath. And his sons took him, with their little ones and wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry the old man,
Bongo Jakobi alongwaki na Beri-Sheba. Bana mibali ya Isalaele bamatisaki na bashario oyo Faraon atindaki mpo na komema ye: tata na bango Jakobi, bana na bango mpe basi na bango.
6 along with all that he possessed in the land of Canaan. And he arrived in Egypt with all his offspring:
Bamemaki lisusu bibwele na bango mpe biloko nyonso oyo bazalaki na yango na mokili ya Kanana; mpe Jakobi elongo na bakitani na ye nyonso bakendeki na Ejipito.
7 his sons and his grandsons, his daughters and all his progeny together.
Azwaki elongo na ye mpo na kokende na Ejipito: bana na ye ya mibali, bakoko na ye ya mibali mpe bana na ye ya basi elongo na bakoko na ye ya basi: bakitani na ye nyonso.

Bato nyonso oyo bakendeki na Ejipito elongo na Jakobi, oyo bazalaki penza bakitani na ye, longola basi ya bana na ye, bango nyonso bazalaki tuku motoba na motoba.
27 Now the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in the land of Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, who went into Egypt, were seventy.
Bana mibali ya Jozefi oyo babotamaki na Ejipito bazalaki mibale. Bato nyonso ya libota ya Jakobi oyo bakendeki na Ejipito bazalaki tuku sambo.
28 Then he sent Judah ahead of himself, to Joseph, in order to report to him, and so that he would meet him in Goshen.
Liboso ete Jakobi akutana na Jozefi, atindaki Yuda epai ya Jozefi mpo na kobongisa bokutani na bango na Gosheni. Tango bakomaki na Gosheni,
29 And when he had arrived there, Joseph harnessed his chariot, and he went up to meet his father at the same place. And seeing him, he fell upon his neck, and, amid embraces, he wept.
Jozefi abongisaki Shario na ye mpe akendeki kokutana na Isalaele, tata na ye, na Gosheni. Tango kaka akomaki liboso na ye, ayambaki tata na ye mpe alelaki mingi.
30 And the father said to Joseph, “Now I will die happy, because I have seen your face, and I am leaving you behind alive.”
Isalaele alobaki na Jozefi: — Sik’oyo, nakoki na ngai kokufa mpo ete namoni yo penza na miso na ngai moko, mpe ozali nanu na bomoi!
31 And he said to his brothers and to all his father’s house: “I will go up and report to Pharaoh, and I will say to him: ‘My brothers, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
Jozefi alobaki na bandeko na ye mpe na libota ya tata na ye: — Nakokende koyebisa Faraon: « Bandeko na ngai mpe libota ya tata na ngai, ba-oyo bavandaka na mokili ya Kanana, bayei epai na ngai.
32 And these honorable men are pastors of sheep, and they have the task of feeding the flock. Their cattle, and herds, and all that they were able to hold, they have brought with them.’
Bazali babateli bibwele, babokolaka bibwele. Bamemi bameme, bantaba, bangombe na bango mpe biloko nyonso oyo bazalaki na yango. »
33 And when he will call you and will say, ‘What is your work?’
Tango Faraon akobenga bino mpe akotuna bino: « Bosalaka mosala nini? »
34 You will respond, ‘Your servants are pastors of honor, from our infancy even to the present time, both we and our fathers.’ Now you will say this so that you may be able to live in the land of Goshen, because the Egyptians detest all pastors of sheep.”
Bokozongisa: « Basali na yo babokolaka bibwele wuta bomwana na biso kino sik’oyo ndenge bakoko na biso bazalaki kosala. » Soki kaka bolobi bongo, akopesa bino nzela ya kovanda na Gosheni, pamba te bato ya Ejipito balingaka te babateli nyonso ya bibwele.
