< Genesis 46 >

1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
Izrayèl pati avèk tout sa li te genyen. li al Bècheba, li touye bèt, li ofri yo bay Bondye Izarak, papa li.
2 And God spoke unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said: 'Jacob, Jacob.' And he said: 'Here am I.'
Jou lannwit sa a, Bondye pale ak Izrayèl nan rèv, li di l': -Jakòb! Jakòb! Jakòb reponn: -Men mwen wi.
3 And He said: 'I am God, the God of thy father; fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation.
Bondye di li: -Mwen se Bondye, Bondye papa ou la. Ou pa bezwen pè desann ale nan peyi Lejip paske m'ap fè pitit pitit ou yo tounen yon gwo pèp laba a.
4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again; and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.'
M'ap desann avè ou nan peyi Lejip, m'ap fè pitit pitit ou yo tounen isit la ankò. Se Jozèf ki va fèmen je ou lè wa mouri.
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him;

7 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

32 and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
Se gadò mouton yo ye. Se bèt yo konn gade. Yo mennen tout mouton yo ak tout bèf yo ansanm ak tout sa yo genyen.
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say: What is your occupation?
Lè farawon an va rele nou pou mande nou ki metye nou,
34 that ye shall say: Thy servants have been keepers of cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers; that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.'
