< 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.
Izrel biliri ije, ya na ihe niile o nwere rute Bịasheba. Ebe a, ọ chụrụ aja nye Chineke nke nna ya Aịzik.
2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here [am] I.
Chineke gwara Izrel okwu nʼọhụ nke abalị. Ọ sịrị, “Jekọb! Jekọb!” Ọ zara sị, “Lee m nʼebe a.”
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:
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 down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up [again: ] and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
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 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:
Ha buuru anụ ụlọ ha niile, na ihe onwunwe ha niile, nke ha kpatara nʼala Kenan, gaa Ijipt. Jekọb na agbụrụ ya niile so.
