Genesis 46
1 So Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to 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 to Israel in a vision at night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."
Malam itu, Allah berbicara kepadanya dalam mimpi, “Yakub, Yakub!” Jawabnya, “Ya, ini aku.”
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.
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 you into Egypt, and I myself will surely bring you up again, and Joseph will close your 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 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.
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 So they took their livestock and their possessions which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and arrived in Egypt, Jacob and all his descendants 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 sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and he brought all his descendants with him to Egypt.

28 And he sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to accompany him to Gesen. Then they arrived in the land of Gesen.
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 prepared his chariot and went up to meet his father Israel in Gesen. And he presented himself to him and he threw his arms around his neck and wept for a long time.
Yusuf menyuruh supaya keretanya disiapkan, lalu dia pergi menyambut ayahnya. Saat mereka bertemu, Yusuf memeluk leher ayahnya dan menangis lama sekali.
30 Then Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die since I have seen your face, that you are still alive."
Yakub berkata kepada Yusuf, “Sekarang aku bisa mati dengan tenang karena sudah melihat wajahmu dan mengetahui bahwa ternyata kamu masih hidup!”
31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, "I will go up and speak with Pharaoh and will tell him, 'My brothers and my father's household who were in the land of Canaan have come to 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 The men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.'
Aku juga akan menyampaikan bahwa kalian adalah gembala, dan bahwa kalian membawa seluruh kawanan ternak kalian dan semua harta benda lain.
33 And it will come to pass, when Pharaoh summons you and says, 'What is your occupation?'
Apabila raja bertanya, ‘Apa pekerjaan kalian,’
34 that you are to say, 'Your servants have looked after livestock from our youth until now, both we, and our fathers: 'in order that you may settle in the land of Gesen; since all shepherds are detestable to 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.”
