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.
Israël donc partit avec tout ce qui lui appartenait, et vint à Béer-Sébah, et il offrit des sacrifices au Dieu de son père Isaac.
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
Et Dieu parla à Israël dans les visions de la nuit, en disant: Jacob, Jacob! Et il répondit: Me voici.
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.
Et [Dieu lui] dit: Je suis le [Dieu] Fort, le Dieu de ton père; ne crains point de descendre en Egypte: car je t'y ferai devenir une grande nation.
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]
Je descendrai avec toi en Egypte, et je t'en ferai aussi très-certainement remonter; et Joseph mettra sa main sur tes yeux.
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.
Ainsi Jacob partit de Béer-Sébah, et les enfants d'Israël mirent Jacob leur père, et leurs petits enfants, et leurs femmes, sur les chariots que Pharaon avait envoyés pour le porter.
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.
Ils emmenèrent aussi leur bétail et leur bien qu'ils avaient acquis dans le pays de Canaan; et Jacob et toute sa famille avec lui vinrent en Egypte.
7 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
Il amena donc avec lui en Egypte ses enfants, et les enfants de ses enfants, ses filles, et les filles de ses fils, et toute sa famille.
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.) They had Gad and his sons Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli; Asher and his sons Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah; and their sister Serah; Beriah’s sons Heber and Malkiel; (Those were the children and grandchildren of Jacob and Zilpah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah: There were 16 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. They were sons of Asenath, the daughter of On, who was the priest in the temple in On [city].) Benjamin and his sons Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard; (Those were the sons and grandsons of Rachel and Jacob: There were 14 people altogether.) Dan and his son Hushim; Naphtali and his sons Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem. (Those were the sons and grandsons of Jacob and Bilhah, the slave girl whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel: There were seven people altogether.)
Or ce sont ici les noms des enfants d'Israël, qui vinrent en Egypte: Jacob et ses enfants. Le premier-né de Jacob, fut Ruben.
Et les enfants de Ruben, Hénoc, Pallu, Hetsron, et Carmi.
Et les enfants de Siméon, Jémuel, Jamin, Ohab, Jakin, Tsohar, et Saül, fils d'une Cananéenne.
Et les enfants de Lévi, Guerson, Kéhath, et Mérari.
Et les enfants de Juda, Her, Onan, Séla, Pharez, et Zara; mais Her et Onan moururent au pays de Canaan. Les enfants de Pharez furent Hetsron et Hamul.
Et les enfants d'Issacar, Tolah, Puva, Job, et Simron.
Et les enfants de Zabulon, Séred, Elon, et Jahléel.
Ce sont là les enfants de Léa, qu'elle enfanta à Jacob en Paddan-Aram, avec Dina sa fille; toutes les personnes de ses fils et de ses filles furent trente-trois.
Et les enfants de Gad, Tsiphjon, Haggi, Suni, Etsbon, Héri, Arodi, et Aréli.
Et les enfants d'Aser, Jimna, Jisua, Jisui, Bériha, et Sérah, leur sœur. Les enfants de Bériha, Héber et Malkiel.
Ce [sont] là les enfants de Zilpa que Laban donna à Léa sa fille; et elle les enfanta à Jacob, [savoir], seize personnes.
Les enfants de Rachel femme de Jacob, [furent] Joseph et Benjamin.
Et il naquit à Joseph au pays d'Egypte, Manassé et Ephraïm, qu'Asenath fille de Potiphérah, Gouverneur d'On, lui enfanta.
Et les enfants de Benjamin étaient Bélah, Béker, Asbel, Guéra, Nahaman, Ehi, Ros, Muppim, et Huppim, et Ard.
Ce sont là les enfants de Rachel, qu'elle enfanta à Jacob; en tout quatorze personnes.
Et les enfants de Dan, Husim.
Et les enfants de Nephthali, Jahtséel, Guni, Jetser, et Sillem.
Ce sont là les enfants de Bilha, laquelle Laban donna à Rachel sa fille, et elle les enfanta à Jacob; en tout, sept personnes.
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.
Toutes les personnes appartenant à Jacob qui vinrent en Egypte, et qui étaient sorties de sa hanche, sans les femmes des enfants de Jacob, furent en tout soixante-six.
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.
Et les enfants de Joseph qui lui étaient nés en Egypte, furent deux personnes. Toutes les personnes [donc] de la maison de Jacob qui vinrent en Egypte, furent soixante-dix.
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,
Or [Jacob] envoya Juda devant lui vers Joseph, pour l'avertir de venir au-devant de lui en Goscen. Ils vinrent donc dans la contrée de Goscen.
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.
Et Joseph fit atteler son chariot, et monta pour aller au-devant d'Israël son père en Goscen. Il se fit voir à lui; il se jeta sur son cou, et pleura quelque temps sur son cou.
30 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
Et Israël dit à Joseph: Que je meure à présent, puisque j'ai vu ton visage, et que tu vis encore.
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.
Puis Joseph dit à ses frères et à la famille de son père: Je remonterai, et ferai savoir à Pharaon, et je lui dirai: Mes frères et la famille de mon père, qui [étaient] au pays de Canaan, sont venus vers moi.
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.’
Et ces hommes sont bergers, et se sont [toujours] mêlés de bétail, et ils ont amené leurs brebis et leurs bœufs, et tout ce qui était à eux.
33 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
Or il arrivera que Pharaon vous fera appeler, et vous dira: Quel est votre métier?
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.
Et vous direz: Tes serviteurs se sont [toujours] mêlés de bétail dès leur jeunesse jusqu'à maintenant, tant nous, que nos pères; afin que vous demeuriez en la contrée de Goscen; car les Egyptiens ont en abomination les bergers.
