Genesis 46
1 So Israel left for Egypt with everything he had. When he arrived at Beersheba he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Te dongah Israel loh a taengkah aka om boeih neh cet uh tih Beersheba a pha vaengah a napa Isaak kah Pathen ham hmueih a ngawn pah.
2 During the night God spoke to Israel in a vision. “Jacob! Jacob!” he called. “I'm here,” he replied.
Te dongah amah tekah khoyin ah Isreal te Pathen loh mangthuinah neh a voek tih, “Jakob, Jakob,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ka om he,” a ti nah.
3 “I am God, the God of your father! Don't be afraid to go to Egypt, because I will turn you and your descendants into a great nation.
Te vaengah kai Pathen he, na pa kah Pathen ni. Egypt la na suntlak thuk te rhih boeh. Nang te pilnu la pahoi kan khueh bitni.
4 I will go to Egypt with you, and I promise to bring you back again. And Joseph will personally close your eyes when you die.”
Egypt lam khaw nang taengah kan suntlak puei vetih nang te koep kam bal puei bal ni. Joseph long khaw na mik dongah a kut a tloeng ni,” a ti nah.
5 Then Jacob left Beersheba. His sons took him, their children, and their wives to Egypt using the wagons Pharaoh had sent.

6 They also took with them all their livestock and all the personal belongings they had accumulated in the country of Canaan. So Jacob and everyone in his extended family went to Egypt,

7 including all his sons and grandsons, daughters and granddaughters.

Te vaengah Judah te Goshen hil a hmai ah thuinuet ham Joseph taengah a hmai la a tueih tih Goshen khohmuen te a pha uh.
