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.
Izrel biliri ije, ya na ihe niile o nwere rute Bịasheba. Ebe a, ọ chụrụ aja nye Chineke nke nna ya Aịzik.
2 During the night God spoke to Israel in a vision. “Jacob! Jacob!” he called. “I'm here,” he replied.
Chineke gwara Izrel okwu nʼọhụ nke abalị. Ọ sịrị, “Jekọb! Jekọb!” Ọ zara sị, “Lee m nʼebe a.”
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.
Chineke gwara ya sị, “Abụ m Chineke, Chineke nke nna gị. Atụla egwu ịgbada Ijipt nʼihi na aga m eme gị ka ị ghọọ mba dị ukwuu nʼebe ahụ.
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.”
Mụ onwe m ga-eso gị agbada nʼala Ijipt. Mụ onwe m ga-akpọlatakwa gị ọzọ. Josef nʼonwe ya ga-eji aka ya ekpuchikwa gị anya.”
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,

30 “Now I can die in peace because I have seen your face again and know you're still alive,” Israel told Joseph.
Izrel gwara Josef sị, “Ugbu a ejikerela m ịnwụ, ebe m hụrụ ihu gị anya ọzọ, mata na ị ka dị ndụ.”
