Uye Mwari akataura kuna Israeri muchiratidzo usiku akati, “Jakobho! Jakobho!” Iye akati, “Ndiri pano.”
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.
Mwari akati, “Ndini Mwari, iye Mwari wababa vako. Usatya kuenda kuIjipiti, nokuti ndichakuita rudzi rukuru ikoko.
4 I will go down with you into Egypt, and I myself will surely bring you up again, and Joseph will close your eyes."
