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.
Enti Israel de nʼahode nyinaa sii mu koduu Beer-Seba. Ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn a na nʼagya Isak som no no afɔre wɔ hɔ.
2 And God said to Israel in the visions of the night, and he said—Jacob! Jacob! And he said—Behold me!
Anadwo anisoadehu mu no, Onyankopɔn frɛɛ Yakob se, “Yakob! Yakob!” Yakob gyee so se, “Me ni.”
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.
Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mene Onyankopɔn. Onyankopɔn a wʼagya som no. Nsuro sɛ wobɛkɔ Misraim, efisɛ mɛma wʼase adɔ ayɛ ɔman kɛse wɔ hɔ.
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.
Mʼankasa ne wo bɛkɔ Misraim, na masan de wo aba ha. Edu bere a worebewu a, wubewu wɔ Yosef nsam.”
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;
Na Yakob sii mu fii Beer-Seba. Israelmma no de wɔn agya Yakob, wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma tenatenaa nteaseɛnam a Farao soma ma wɔde bɛfaa wɔn no mu.
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:
Wɔfaa wɔn mmoa ne wɔn agyapade a wɔanya wɔ Kanaan asase so no nyinaa kaa wɔn ho kɔɔ Misraim. Yakob ne nʼasefo nyinaa sii mu kɔɔ Misraim.
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.
Israel de ne mmabarima, ne nenanom, ne mmabea ne wɔn mma a wɔn nyinaa yɛ nʼasefo kaa ne ho kɔɔ Misraim.
8 Now, these, are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt—Jacob and his sons, —the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben:
Din a edidi so yi yɛ Israelfo, Yakob asefo a ɔde wɔn kɔɔ Misraim. Ruben yɛ Yakob abakan.

15 These, are the sons of Leah whom she bare to Jacob in Padan-aram, with Dinah also his daughter, —All the souls of his sons and of his daughters, were thirty-three.
Wɔn a wɔabobɔ wɔn din yi yɛ Lea mma a ɔne Yakob woo wɔ Paddan-Aram a ne babea Dina nso ka ho. Saa mmabarima ne ne babea yi nyinaa dodow si nnipa aduasa abiɛsa.

Aser nso mma din na edidi so yi: Yimna, Isua, Isui ne Beria ne wɔn nuabea Sera. Beria nso mma yɛ: Heber ne Malkiel.
18 These, are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, —so she bare these to Jacob, —sixteen souls.
Eyinom nso ne Silpa, afenaa a Laban de no maa ne babea Lea a ɔno nso de no maa ne kunu Yakob waree no mma. Wɔn nyinaa dodow ano si nnipa dunsia.
19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife, —Joseph and Benjamin;
Yakob yere Rahel mma yɛ: Yosef ne Benyamin.
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;
Nnipa a Yakob de wɔn kɔɔ Misraim nyinaa, a wɔyɛ nʼasefo ankasa, a ne mmabarima yerenom nka ho dodow yɛ aduosia asia.
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.
Sɛ wɔde Yosef mmabarima baanu a ɔwoo wɔn wɔ Misraim no ka ho a, na Yakob asefo a ɔde wɔn kɔɔ Misraim no nyinaa dodow yɛ nnipa aduɔson.
28 And he sent, Judah, before him unto Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen, —so they came in towards the land of Goshen.
Israel somaa Yuda ma odii kan kɔɔ Yosef hɔ kobisaa no Gosen kwan. Akyiri no, wokoduu Gosen.
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.
Yosef siesiee ne nteaseɛnam ma wɔkɔɔ Gosen kohyiaa nʼagya Israel. Yosef duu nʼagya Yakob anim pɛ na ɔbam no, sui ara kwansin.
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.
Israel ka kyerɛɛ Yosef se, “Ohu a mahu wo sɛ wote ase yi nti, sɛ owu bɛfa me nnɛ koraa a, mepɛ.”
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.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ ne nuanom no ne nʼagya fifo no se, “Mɛkɔ akɔka akyerɛ Farao se, ‘Me nuabarimanom ne mʼagya fifo a na anka wɔte Kanaan asase so nyinaa aba ha abɛka me ho.
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.
Mmarima no yɛ nguanhwɛfo. Wɔhwɛ mmoa so. Na wɔde wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi ne biribiara a wɔwɔ aba.’
33 So shall it come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call for you, —and shall say—What is your occupation?
Sɛ Farao frɛ mo, na obisa mo se, ‘Adwuma bɛn na moyɛ a,’
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,
momma no mmuae se, ‘Wo nkoa ayɛn mmoa fi wɔn mmofraase, te sɛ nea yɛn agyanom yɛe no ara pɛpɛɛpɛ.’ Sɛ moka saa kyerɛ no a, ɔbɛma mode Gosen ayɛ mo atenae, efisɛ Misraimfo kyi nguanhwɛfo kɔkɔɔkɔ.”
