< Genesis 46 >

1 And Israel departed, he and all that he had, and came to the well of the oath; and he offered sacrifice to the God of his father Isaac.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Isiraeli akiumagara na indo ciothe iria aarĩ nacio, na aakinya Birishiba-rĩ, akĩrutĩra Ngai wa ithe Isaaka magongona.
2 And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?
Nake Ngai akĩarĩria Isiraeli na kĩoneki ũtukũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jakubu! Jakubu!” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
3 And he says to him, I am the God of your fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make you there a great nation.
Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ niĩ Ngai, Ngai wa thoguo. Ndũgetigĩre gũikũrũka ũthiĩ Misiri, tondũ nĩngagũtua rũrĩrĩ rũnene mũno kũu.
4 And I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will bring you up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on your eyes.

5 And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath; and the sons of Israel took up their father, and the baggage, and their wives on the waggons, which Joseph sent to take them.
