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.
Israeli anasonkhanitsa zonse anali nazo napita ku Beeriseba kukapereka nsembe kwa Mulungu wa abambo ake Isake.
2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here [am] I.
Ndipo Mulungu anayankhula ndi Israeli mʼmasomphenya usiku nati, “Yakobo! Yakobo!” Iye anayankha, “Ee, Ambuye.”
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:
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 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.
Ine ndidzapita ku Igupto pamodzi ndi iwe ndipo mosakayika konse zidzukulu zako ndidzazibweretsa konkuno. Yosefe adzakhalapo pa nthawi yako yomwalira.”
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.
Yakobo anachoka ku Beeriseba, ndipo ana ake anakweza abambo awo, ana awo, pamodzi ndi akazi awo pa ngolo zimene Farao anatumiza kuti adzakwerepo.
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:
Iwo anatenganso ziweto zawo ndi katundu wawo amene anali naye ku Kanaani, ndipo Yakobo pamodzi ndi ana ndi zidzukulu zake anapita ku Igupto.
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.

31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father’s house, which [were] in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
Ndipo Yosefe anati kwa abale ake pamodzi ndi a pa banja la abambo ake, “Ndipita kwa Farao ndipo ndikamuwuza kuti, ‘Abale anga pamodzi ndi onse a mʼnyumba ya abambo anga amene amakhala mʼdziko la Kanaani abwera kuno kwa ine.
32 And the men [are] shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
Anthuwa ndi abusa; amaweta ziweto zawo ndipo abwera ndi nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zawo, pamodzi ndi antchito awo.’
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What [is] your occupation?
Tsono Farao akakuyitanani nakufunsani kuti, ‘Kodi mumagwira ntchito yanji?’
34 That ye shall say, Thy servants’ trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, [and] also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd [is] an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Muyankhe kuti, ‘Ife, bwana ndife oweta ziweto kuyambira ubwana wathu mpaka tsopano. Takhala tikuweta ziweto monga mmene ankachitira makolo athu.’ Mukadzayankha choncho, ndiye kuti mudzakhala mʼdziko la Goseni chifukwa anthu a ku Igupto amanyansidwa nawo anthu oweta ziweto.”
