Ndipo Mulungu anayankhula ndi Israeli mʼmasomphenya usiku nati, “Yakobo! Yakobo!” Iye anayankha, “Ee, Ambuye.”
3 Then hee sayde, I am God, the God of thy father, feare not to goe downe into Egypt: for I will there make of thee a great nation.
Mulungu anati, “Ine ndine Mulungu. Mulungu wa abambo ako. Usachite mantha kupita ku Igupto, pakuti ndidzachulukitsa zidzukulu zako kumeneko moti zidzakhala mtundu waukulu.
4 I wil go downe with thee into Egypt, and I will also bring thee vp againe, and Ioseph shall put his hand vpon thine eyes.
Ine ndidzapita ku Igupto pamodzi ndi iwe ndipo mosakayika konse zidzukulu zako ndidzazibweretsa konkuno. Yosefe adzakhalapo pa nthawi yako yomwalira.”
