Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Isiraeli akiumagara na indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio, na aakinya Birishiba-rĩ, akĩrutĩra Ngai wa ithe Isaaka magongona.

3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down to Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation.
Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Ngai, Ngai wa thoguo. Ndũgetigĩre gũikũrũka ũthiĩ Misiri, tondũ nĩngagũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene mũno kũu.
4 I will go down with thee to Egypt, and I will also certainly bring thee up; and Joseph shall put his hand on thine eyes.
