Genesis 46
1 And Israel taking his journey, with all that he had, came to the well of the oath, and killing victims there to the God of his father Isaac,
Enti Israel de nʼahode nyinaa sii mu koduu Beer-Seba. Ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn a na nʼagya Isak som no no afɔre wɔ hɔ.
2 He heard him by a vision in the night calling him, and saying to him: Jacob, Jacob. And he answered him: Lo, here I am.
Anadwo anisoadehu mu no, Onyankopɔn frɛɛ Yakob se, “Yakob! Yakob!” Yakob gyee so se, “Me ni.”
3 God said to him: I am the most mighty God of thy father: fear not, go down into Egypt, for I will make a great nation of thee there.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mene Onyankopɔn. Onyankopɔn a wʼagya som no. Nsuro sɛ wobɛkɔ Misraim, efisɛ mɛma wʼase adɔ ayɛ ɔman kɛse wɔ hɔ.
4 I will go down with thee thither, and will bring thee back again from thence: Joseph also shall put his hands upon thy eyes.
Mʼankasa ne wo bɛkɔ Misraim, na masan de wo aba ha. Edu bere a worebewu a, wubewu wɔ Yosef nsam.”
5 And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath: and his sons took him up, with their children and wives in the wagons, which Pharao had sent to carry the old man,
Na Yakob sii mu fii Beer-Seba. Israelmma no de wɔn agya Yakob, wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma tenatenaa nteaseɛnam a Farao soma ma wɔde bɛfaa wɔn no mu.
6 And all that he had in the land of Chanaan, and he came into Egypt with all his seed:
Wɔfaa wɔn mmoa ne wɔn agyapade a wɔanya wɔ Kanaan asase so no nyinaa kaa wɔn ho kɔɔ Misraim. Yakob ne nʼasefo nyinaa sii mu kɔɔ Misraim.

28 And he sent Juda before him to Joseph, to tell him; and that he should meet him in Gessen.
Israel somaa Yuda ma odii kan kɔɔ Yosef hɔ kobisaa no Gosen kwan. Akyiri no, wokoduu Gosen.
29 And when he was come thither, Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet his father, in the same place: and seeing him, he fell upon his neck, and embracing him wept.
Yosef siesiee ne nteaseɛnam ma wɔkɔɔ Gosen kohyiaa nʼagya Israel. Yosef duu nʼagya Yakob anim pɛ na ɔbam no, sui ara kwansin.
30 And the father said to Joseph: Now shall I die with joy, because I have seen thy face, and leave thee alive.
Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Ohu a mahu wo sɛ wote ase yi nti, sɛ owu bɛfa me nnɛ koraa a, mepɛ.”
31 And Joseph said to his brethren, and to all his father’s house: I will go up, and will tell Pharao, and will say to him: My brethren and my father’s house, that were in the land of Chanaan, are come to me:
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no ne nʼagya fifo no se, “Mɛkɔ akɔka akyerɛ Farao se, ‘Me nuabarimanom ne mʼagya fifo a na anka wɔte Kanaan asase so nyinaa aba ha abɛka me ho.
32 And the men are shepherds, and their occupation is to feed cattle: their flocks and herds, and all they have, they have brought with them.
Mmarima no yɛ nguanhwɛfo. Wɔhwɛ mmoa so. Na wɔde wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi ne biribiara a wɔwɔ aba.’
33 And when he shall call you, and shall say: What is your occupation?
Sɛ Farao frɛ mo, na obisa mo se, ‘Adwuma bɛn na moyɛ a,’
34 You shall answer: We thy servants are shepherds, from our infancy until now, both we and our fathers. And this you shall say, that you may dwell in the land of Gessen, because the Egyptians have all shepherds in abomination.
momma no mmuae se, ‘Wo nkoa ayɛn mmoa fi wɔn mmofraase, te sɛ nea yɛn agyanom yɛe no ara pɛpɛɛpɛ.’ Sɛ moka saa kyerɛ no a, ɔbɛma mode Gosen ayɛ mo atenae, efisɛ Misraimfo kyi nguanhwɛfo kɔkɔɔkɔ.”
