< 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.
Hichun Jacob chu Egypt gam jon din akipat dohtan anei agou jouse jong apon Bersheba ahung lhungin hiche jan chun apa Isaac Pathen min in maicham asem in ahi.
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
Hiche jan chun Pathen in gaova akihoulim pin, “Jacob Jacob tin akouvin,” hichun aman jong, “Hoijo Pakai keima hikoma ka ume,” ati.
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.
Keima napu napate Pathen kahi tin ahoulim pin, nangma Egypt gam langa suh cheding kicha hih beh in ajeh chu keiman nangma hiche muna chu nam lentah kaso ding nahi ati.
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]
Keiman Egypt lama nasuh cheteng ka kilhonpi ding nahi, chule keiman nangma ka hin nungpui kit ding nahi ati; chule Joseph in namit ha geiya najen ding ahi.
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.
Hichun Jacob in Beersheba adalhan chule achate sen Egypt lama apui tauvin, kangtalai chunga ama ahin chapang naosen ho jong chule ajite ho chengse jong Pharaoh in ima ma agontup peh bang in apuisuh tauvin ahi.
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.
Amahon anei agou jouse chule agancha hou jouse Canaan gamsunga ana kilamdoh ho jouse jong apo tauvin ahi.
7 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
Achate hou sese chule atute ho jouse jong chule achanute ho jong chule achanute chate jouse jong ama chilhah namkim jouse toh Egypt ahin jon tauve.
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.)

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,
Amaho alamjot naova alhun nadiu ahung naithim tan, Jacob in Judah chu Goshem jotna lamhil hedin asol in, chuin phat chomkhat jouvin amaho alhung tauve.
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.
Joseph a sakol kangtalai chunga atou doh in apa Jacob chu Goshem lama aga kimuto pitai, Hichun Joseph in apa Jacob amu phat chun phat sottah a ngongkoi in akap tai.
30 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
Hichun Jacob in ahin hou in, Joseph koma aseitai, “Keima tua hi thithei ka hitai, Ajeh chu nangma nana hing nalai in tuhin namai ka mutai,” ati.
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.
Hichun Joseph in asopite le apa insung mite jah a “Keima chetou ing ting Pharaoh jah a thu galhut ing ka ting ajah a, ‘Canaan gam'a cheng ka sopite le kapa insung mite ka heng ahung lhung tauve!
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.’
Amaho hi kelngoi ching mi ahiuvin, chule amahon anei thil jouse le agancha hou jong ahin kipui uve gati ing'e.
33 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
Ahin Pharaoh in nahin hou teng ule nahin doh dingu ahin, “Nangma hohi ipi na natoh ji uham ahin ti ding ahi.
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.
Nangma hon hitia hi na donbut dingu ahi, keiho nasoh teho hi ka neo uva patna kapate kapute banga kelngoi ching ka hung hitauve nati diu ahi, chuteng chule Pharaoh in Goshem lhanglam a nahin chen sah diu ahi; ajeh chu Egypt miten kelngoi chingho athei nom pouve.”
