Genesis 46
1 And Israel commenced his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
Lalu Yakub memulai perjalanannya ke Mesir dengan membawa semua yang dia miliki. Setibanya di Bersyeba, dia mempersembahkan beberapa hewan kurban kepada Allah Isak, ayahnya.
2 And God spoke unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
Malam itu, Allah berbicara kepadanya dalam mimpi, “Yakub, Yakub!” Jawabnya, “Ya, ini aku.”
3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father; fear not to go down into Egypt; for a great nation will I make of thee there:
Allah berkata, “Akulah Allah, Allah ayahmu. Janganlah takut untuk pergi ke Mesir, karena di sana Aku akan menjadikan keturunanmu bangsa yang besar.
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 thy eyes.
Aku akan menyertaimu sampai ke Mesir, dan suatu hari nanti Aku akan membawa keturunanmu kembali ke Kanaan. Yusuf akan ada bersamamu ketika kamu meninggal.”
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.
Lalu Yakub bersama rombongan keluarga besarnya berangkat dari Bersyeba menuju Mesir. Anak-anaknya mengatur muatan kereta-kereta yang sudah dikirim oleh raja, supaya Yakub, para menantunya, serta anak-anak kecil dapat naik.
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:
Mereka membawa semua harta benda dan ternak yang mereka peroleh selama di negeri Kanaan. Seluruh keturunan Yakub juga ikut ke Mesir,
7 His sons, and his son's sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed he brought with him into Egypt.

28 And Judah he sent before him unto Joseph, to direct him beforehand unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
Sebelum mereka sampai di Gosyen, Yehuda diutus terlebih dahulu menghadap Yusuf untuk menanyakan petunjuk tentang tempat yang disediakan bagi mereka di daerah Gosyen. Ketika rombongan Yakub tiba di situ,
29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen; and when he obtained sight of him, he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
Yusuf menyuruh supaya keretanya disiapkan, lalu dia pergi menyambut ayahnya. Saat mereka bertemu, Yusuf memeluk leher ayahnya dan menangis lama sekali.
30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Let me die now, since I have seen thy face, that thou art yet alive.
Yakub berkata kepada Yusuf, “Sekarang aku bisa mati dengan tenang karena sudah melihat wajahmu dan mengetahui bahwa ternyata kamu masih hidup!”
31 And Joseph said unto his brothers, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and tell Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brothers and my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
Lalu Yusuf menyampaikan pesan kepada saudara-saudaranya dan seluruh keluarga Yakub, “Aku akan pergi menghadap raja Mesir untuk memberitahu bahwa ayah, saudara-saudaraku, dan semua anggota keluarga besar kita sudah datang dari Kanaan.
32 And the men are shepherds, for they have been owners of cattle; and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, they have brought along.
Aku juga akan menyampaikan bahwa kalian adalah gembala, dan bahwa kalian membawa seluruh kawanan ternak kalian dan semua harta benda lain.
33 And it shall come to pass, if Pharaoh should have you called, and say, What is your occupation?
Apabila raja bertanya, ‘Apa pekerjaan kalian,’
34 That ye shall say, Owners of cattle have thy servants been from our youth even until now, both we, as also our fathers; in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
maka kalian harus menjawab, ‘Sejak kecil, kami menggembalakan ternak sama seperti nenek moyang kami.’ Dengan begitu, kalian akan diperbolehkan untuk menetap dan menggembalakan ternak di Gosyen. Yusuf menyuruh mereka menjawab demikian karena bagi orang Mesir, mata pencaharian sebagai gembala dianggap hina.”
