< Genesis 46 >

1 So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
Ya: igobe da ea liligi huluane momagele, Bia Siba amoga asi. Amogai, e da ea ada Aisage ea Gode Ema nodone gobele salasu hamoi.
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
Gasia, e da Gode esalebe ba: i. Gode da ema amane sia: i, “Ya: igobe! Ya: igobe!” E bu adole i, “Na wea!”
3 God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da Gode, amo dia ada ea Gode. Di da Idibidi amoga masunu, mae beda: ma. Amogai, na digaga manolali ilima gasa bagade fi hamomu.
4 I will go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
Na ani Idibidi sogega masunu. Fa: no digaga mano fi amo Na da Ga: ina: ne sogega guiguda: bu oule misunu. Di bogosea, Yousefe amola da dia bogosu ba: mu.”
5 Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took their father, their wives, and their children, in the carts that the king had sent for them to travel in.
Amalalu, Ya: igobe da Bia Siba fisili asi. Egefelali da Ya: igobe amola ilia mano fonobahadi amola ilia uda, amo gaguli fula ahoasu Felou da ilima iasi amoga fila heda: le, oule asi.
6 So Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. They took with them the livestock and all the other possessions that they had acquired in Canaan.
Ilia liligi amola lai gebo huluane, amo ilia Ga: ina: ne sogega lai, amo huluane ilia gaguli asili, Idibidi diasuga asi. Ya: igobe da egaga mano fi huluane oule asi.
7 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
Amo da egefelali, ea aowalali, idiwilali amola ea uda mano aowalali.
8 (Here is/I will now give you) a list of the names of the members of Jacob’s family who went with him to Egypt: Reuben, Jacob’s oldest son; Reuben’s sons Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; Simeon and his sons Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, and Shaul, who was the son of a Canaan people-group woman; Levi and his sons Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; Judah and his sons, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (his other sons, Er, and Onan, had died in Canaan); Perez and his two sons Hezron and Hamul; Issachar and his sons Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron; Zebulon and his sons Sered, Elon, and Jahleel; (Those were the sons of Jacob and Leah, and their daughter Dinah, who were born in Paddan-Aram/Mesopotamia: There were 33 of them, altogether.)

Joseph and Benjamin, the sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel; (Ephraim and Manasseh were Joseph’s two sons. [They did not go down to Egypt] because they were already in Egypt.

26 Altogether there were 66 people who were Jacob’s descendants who went to Egypt with him. That number does not include his sons’ wives.
Ya: igobe egaga fi amo da Idibidi sogega asi ilia idi da 66 agoane. Egefe ilia uda da amo defei ganodini hame idi.
27 Including Jacob and Joseph and Joseph’s two sons who were born in Egypt, there were 70 members of Jacob’s family when they were all there in Egypt.
Yousefe da Idibidi sogega dunu mano aduna lai. Amaiba: le, Ya: igobe ea fi huluane da Idibidi sogega asi amo ilia idi defei da 70 agoane.
28 Jacob sent Judah to go ahead of the rest of them to talk with Joseph and ask for directions on how to travel to Goshen. Then [Judah returned to the rest of his family and] they all traveled to the Goshen region. When they arrived there,
Ya: igobe da Yuda amo Yousefema bisili gousa: musa: masa: ne, asunasi. E da Yousefe amo Ya: igobe Gousiene sogega yosia: musa: misa: ne sia: i. Ilia da doaga: loba,
29 Joseph got his chariot ready and went to Goshen to meet his father. When Joseph arrived, he threw his arms around his father’s neck and cried a long time.
Yousefe da ea ‘sa: liode’ fila heda: le, ea ada yosia: musa: asi. Doaga: beba: le, Yousefe da ea ada nonogone, mae yolesili dinanu.
30 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
Ya: igobe da Yousefema amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da wali bogomu defele esala. Bai na da dia odagi bu ba: i, amola di da hahawane esala na dawa:”
31 Then Joseph said to his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and to the rest of his father’s family, “I will go to the king and say to him, ‘My [older] brothers [and younger brother] and my father and the rest of his family, who were living in Canaan land, have all come to me.
Amalalu, Yousefe da yolalali ilima amane sia: i, “Na da Felouma adomu. Nolalali amola na ada ea sosogo fi huluane musa: Ga: ina: ne sogega esalu, da misi dagoi, amo na da adomu.
32 The men are all shepherds. They take care of their livestock, and they have brought with them their sheep and goats and cattle, and everything else that they own.’
Na da ema agoane adomu. Dilia da ohe ouligisu dunu esala. Amola dilia da dilia lai gebo huluane amola liligi huluane oule misi dagoi.
33 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
Felou da dilima misa: ne sia: sea, amola dilima dili adi hawa: hamosa adole ba: sea,
34 answer him by saying, ‘From the time when we were young, we have taken care of livestock, just as our ancestors did.’ If you tell him that, he will let you live in the Goshen region.” Joseph told them to say that because the people of Egypt despised all shepherds.
ema moloiwane olelema agoane. ‘Ninia da ninia esalebe ganodini mae fisili lai gebo ouligisu. Ninia aowalalia hou defele agoane hamosa.’ Amasea, e da dili Gousiene soge ganodini hahawane fima: ne sia: mu.’ (Idibidi dunu ilia hou da ilia lai gebo ouligisu dunu ilima gilisimu higasu. Amo dawa: beba: le, Yousefe e da amo sia: sia: musa: sia: i.)
