1 So Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to 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 spoke to Israel in a vision at night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."
Ndipo Mulungu anayankhula ndi Israeli mʼmasomphenya usiku nati, “Yakobo! Yakobo!” Iye anayankha, “Ee, Ambuye.”
3 He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into 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 you into Egypt, and I myself will surely bring you up again, and Joseph will close your eyes."
Ine ndidzapita ku Igupto pamodzi ndi iwe ndipo mosakayika konse zidzukulu zako ndidzazibweretsa konkuno. Yosefe adzakhalapo pa nthawi yako yomwalira.”
5 Then Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, and their little ones, and their wives on the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
