Genesis 46
1 So Israel brake up, with all that he had, and came in to Beer-sheba, —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 said to Israel in the visions of the night, and he said—Jacob! Jacob! And he said—Behold me!
Ndipo Mulungu anayankhula ndi Israeli mʼmasomphenya usiku nati, “Yakobo! Yakobo!” Iye anayankha, “Ee, Ambuye.”
3 And he said: I, am GOD himself, the God of thy father, —Be not afraid of going down to Egypt, seeing that for a great nation, will I plant thee there.
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 thee to Egypt, and I will bring thee up, yea wholly up, —and, Joseph, shall lay his own hand upon thine eyes.
Ine ndidzapita ku Igupto pamodzi ndi iwe ndipo mosakayika konse zidzukulu zako ndidzazibweretsa konkuno. Yosefe adzakhalapo pa nthawi yako yomwalira.”
5 So Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba, —and the sons of Israel brought Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the waggons which Pharaoh had sent to bring him;
Yakobo anachoka ku Beeriseba, ndipo ana ake anakweza abambo awo, ana awo, pamodzi ndi akazi awo pa ngolo zimene Farao anatumiza kuti adzakwerepo.
6 and they took their cattle and the gains which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, —Jacob and all his seed with him:
Iwo anatenganso ziweto zawo ndi katundu wawo amene anali naye ku Kanaani, ndipo Yakobo pamodzi ndi ana ndi zidzukulu zake anapita ku Igupto.
7 his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed, brought he with him into Egypt.
Ndiye kuti popita ku Igupto Yakobo anatenga ana aamuna, zidzukulu zazimuna, ana aakazi ndi zidzukulu zazikazi.
8 Now, these, are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt—Jacob and his sons, —the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben:

18 These, are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, —so she bare these to Jacob, —sixteen souls.
Amenewa ndi zidzukulu za Yakobo mwa Zilipa amene Labani anapereka kwa mwana wake, Leya. Onse pamodzi analipo 16.
19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife, —Joseph and Benjamin;
Ana aamuna a Rakele mkazi wa Yakobo anali: Yosefe ndi Benjamini.
20 And there were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, bare to him: Manasseh and Ephraim;

26 All the souls that came in with Jacob to Egypt that had come forth of his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, —all the souls, were sixty-six;
Onse amene anapita ndi Yakobo (iwo amene anali akeake, osawerengera akazi a ana ake), analipo 66.
27 and, the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls: All the souls of the house of Jacob that came into Egypt, were seventy.
Pophatikiza ana awiri a Yosefe obadwira ku Igupto, anthu a pa banja la Yakobo amene anapita ku Igupto, onse pamodzi analipo 70.
28 And he sent, Judah, before him unto Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen, —so they came in towards the land of Goshen.
Tsopano Yakobo anatumiza Yuda kwa Yosefe kukamupempha kuti akakumane naye ku Goseni. Iwo atafika ku chigawo cha Goseni,
29 Then yoked Joseph his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father towards Goshen, —and he appeared unto him, and fell upon his neck, and wept upon his neck a good while.
Yosefe anakonza galeta nakwerapo ndi kupita ku Goseni kukakumana ndi abambo ake, Israeli. Yosefe atangofika pamaso pa abambo ake, anawakumbatira nalira kwa nthawi yayitali.
30 Then said Israel unto Joseph I am ready to die at last, —now that I have seen thy face, in that thou art, yet alive.
Israeli anati kwa Yosefe, “Tsopano ndikhoza kumwalira poti ndaona nkhope yako kuti ukanali ndi moyo.”
31 Then said Joseph unto his brethren and unto the house of his father, I must go up, and must tell Pharaoh—and must say unto him, My brethren, and the house of my father, who were in the land of Canaan, have come in unto me.
Ndipo Yosefe anati kwa abale ake pamodzi ndi a pa banja la abambo ake, “Ndipita kwa Farao ndipo ndikamuwuza kuti, ‘Abale anga pamodzi ndi onse a mʼnyumba ya abambo anga amene amakhala mʼdziko la Kanaani abwera kuno kwa ine.
32 Now, the men, are feeders of flocks, for men of cattle, they are, —and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, have they brought in.
Anthuwa ndi abusa; amaweta ziweto zawo ndipo abwera ndi nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zawo, pamodzi ndi antchito awo.’
33 So shall it come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call for you, —and shall say—What is your occupation?
Tsono Farao akakuyitanani nakufunsani kuti, ‘Kodi mumagwira ntchito yanji?’
34 Then shall ye say—Men of cattle, have thy servants been from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers, —To the end ye may dwell in the land of Goshen, for an abomination to Egyptians, is every feeder of a flock,
Muyankhe kuti, ‘Ife, bwana ndife oweta ziweto kuyambira ubwana wathu mpaka tsopano. Takhala tikuweta ziweto monga mmene ankachitira makolo athu.’ Mukadzayankha choncho, ndiye kuti mudzakhala mʼdziko la Goseni chifukwa anthu a ku Igupto amanyansidwa nawo anthu oweta ziweto.”
