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.
Enti Israel de nʼahode nyinaa sii mu koduu Beer-Seba. Ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn a na nʼagya Isak som no no afɔre wɔ hɔ.
2 During the night God spoke to Israel in a vision. “Jacob! Jacob!” he called. “I'm here,” he replied.
Anadwo anisoadehu mu no, Onyankopɔn frɛɛ Yakob se, “Yakob! Yakob!” Yakob gyee so se, “Me ni.”
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.
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 to Egypt with you, and I promise to bring you back again. And Joseph will personally close your eyes when you die.”
Mʼankasa ne wo bɛkɔ Misraim, na masan de wo aba ha. Edu bere a worebewu a, wubewu wɔ Yosef nsam.”
5 Then Jacob left Beersheba. His sons took him, their children, and their wives to Egypt using the wagons Pharaoh had sent.
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 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,
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.
7 including all his sons and grandsons, daughters and granddaughters.

28 Jacob sent Judah on ahead to meet Joseph and find out the way to Goshen. When they arrived in Goshen,
Israel somaa Yuda ma odii kan kɔɔ Yosef hɔ kobisaa no Gosen kwan. Akyiri no, wokoduu Gosen.
29 Joseph ordered his chariot made ready and went to meet his father Israel there. As soon as he arrived, he hugged his father and wept for a long time.
Yosef siesiee ne nteaseɛnam ma wɔkɔɔ Gosen kohyiaa nʼagya Israel. Yosef duu nʼagya Yakob anim pɛ na ɔbam no, sui ara kwansin.
30 “Now I can die in peace because I have seen your face again and know you're still alive,” Israel told Joseph.
Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Ohu a mahu wo sɛ wote ase yi nti, sɛ owu bɛfa me nnɛ koraa a, mepɛ.”
31 Joseph told his brothers and his father's household, “I'm going to go and report to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘My brothers and my father's household have arrived from the country of Canaan to join 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.

Mmarima no yɛ nguanhwɛfo. Wɔhwɛ mmoa so. Na wɔde wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi ne biribiara a wɔwɔ aba.’
33 When Pharaoh calls for you and asks you, ‘What work do you do?’
Sɛ Farao frɛ mo, na obisa mo se, ‘Adwuma bɛn na moyɛ a,’
34 tell him, ‘Your servants have looked after livestock since we were children, both us and our fathers before us.’ That way you'll be able to live here in Goshen, because Egyptians look down on shepherds.”
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.”
