Genesis 46
1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba; and he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Israeli akasafiri na yote aliyokuwa nayo na akaja Beersheba. Pale akatoa sadaka kwa Mungu wa Isaka baba yake.
2 And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night and said, Jacob, Jacob! And he said, Here am I.
Mungu akamwambia Israeli katika ndoto usiku, akisema, “Yakobo, Yakobo.”
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.
Akasema, “Mimi hapa.” Akasema, “Mimi ni Mungu, Mungu wa baba yako. Usiogope kushuka Misri, kwa maana nitakufanya taifa kubwa huko.
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.
Nitakwenda pamoja nawe huko Misri, Nami nitakupandisha huku tena bila shaka. Na Yusufu akayafunika macho yako kwa mikono wake.”
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, on the waggons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
