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 nʼahodeɛ nyinaa siim kɔduruu Beer-Seba. Ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn a na nʼagya Isak somm no no afɔdeɛ 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 anisoadehunu mu no, Onyankopɔn frɛɛ Yakob sɛ, “Yakob! Yakob!” Yakob gyee so sɛ, “Me nie.”
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 sɛ, “Mene Onyankopɔn. Onyankopɔn a wʼagya somm no. Nsuro sɛ wobɛkɔ Misraim, ɛfiri sɛ, mɛma wʼase adɔre ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ 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 me ne wo bɛkɔ Misraim, na masane ne wo aba ha bio. Ɛduru ɛberɛ a worebɛwu a, wobɛwu Yosef anim.”
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;
Afei, Yakob siim firii Beer-Seba. Israel mma no de wɔn agya Yakob, wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma tenatenaa nteaseɛnam a Farao soma maa 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 agyapadeɛ a wɔanya wɔ Kanaan asase so nyinaa kaa wɔn ho kɔɔ Misraim. Yakob ne nʼasefoɔ nyinaa siim 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 mmammarima, ne nananom, ne mmammaa ne wɔn mma a wɔn nyinaa yɛ nʼasefoɔ 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:

Wɔn a wɔabobɔ wɔn din yi yɛ Lea mma a ɔne Yakob woeɛ wɔ Paddan-Aram a ne babaa Dina nso ka ho. Saa mmammarima ne ne babaa yi nyinaa dodoɔ si nnipa aduasa mmiɛnsa.

18 These, are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, —so she bare these to Jacob, —sixteen souls.
Yeinom nso ne Silpa, afenaa a Laban de no maa ne babaa Lea a ɔno nso de no maa ne kunu Yakob wareeɛ no mma. Wɔn nyinaa dodoɔ ano si nnipa dunsia.
19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife, —Joseph and Benjamin;

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 nʼasefoɔ ankasa, a ne mmammarima yerenom nka ho dodoɔ ano si aduosia nsia.
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 mmammarima baanu a ɔwoo wɔn wɔ Misraim no ka ho a, na Yakob asefoɔ a ɔde wɔn kɔɔ Misraim no nyinaa dodoɔ ano si 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 ɔdii ɛkan kɔɔ Yosef hɔ kɔbisaa no Gosen ɛkwan. Akyire no, wɔkɔduruu 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 kɔhyiaa nʼagya Israel. Yosef duruu nʼagya Yakob anim pɛ, ɔbam no, suiɛ 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 sɛ, “Ohunu a mahunu wo sɛ wote ase yi enti, sɛ owuo bɛfa me ɛnnɛ 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 fiefoɔ no sɛ, “Mɛkɔ makɔka makyerɛ Farao sɛ, ‘Me nuammarimanom ne mʼagya fiefoɔ 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 nnwanhwɛfoɔ. Wɔhwɛ mmoa so. Na wɔde wɔn nnwan ne wɔn anantwie 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 ɔbisa mo sɛ, ‘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 mmuaeɛ sɛ, ‘Wo nkoa ayɛn mmoa firi wɔn mmɔfraase, te sɛ deɛ yɛn agyanom yɛeɛ no ara pɛpɛɛpɛ.’ Sɛ moka saa kyerɛ no a, ɔbɛma mode Gosen ayɛ mo atenaeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, Misraimfoɔ kyiri nnwanhwɛfoɔ kɔkɔɔkɔ.”
