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.
Lalu Yakub memulai perjalanannya ke Mesir dengan membawa semua yang dia miliki. Setibanya di Bersyeba, dia mempersembahkan beberapa hewan kurban kepada Allah Isak, ayahnya.
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
Malam itu, Allah berbicara kepadanya dalam mimpi, “Yakub, Yakub!” Jawabnya, “Ya, ini aku.”
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.
Allah berkata, “Akulah Allah, Allah ayahmu. Janganlah takut untuk pergi ke Mesir, karena di sana Aku akan menjadikan keturunanmu bangsa yang besar.
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]
Aku akan menyertaimu sampai ke Mesir, dan suatu hari nanti Aku akan membawa keturunanmu kembali ke Kanaan. Yusuf akan ada bersamamu ketika kamu meninggal.”
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.
Lalu Yakub bersama rombongan keluarga besarnya berangkat dari Bersyeba menuju Mesir. Anak-anaknya mengatur muatan kereta-kereta yang sudah dikirim oleh raja, supaya Yakub, para menantunya, serta anak-anak kecil dapat naik.
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.
Mereka membawa semua harta benda dan ternak yang mereka peroleh selama di negeri Kanaan. Seluruh keturunan Yakub juga ikut ke Mesir,
7 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.

Seluruh keturunan Yakub dari keempat istrinya yang ikut bersamanya ke Mesir adalah 66 orang, belum termasuk menantu-menantu perempuan.
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.
Jumlah keseluruhan keturunan Yakub bila ditambah dua anak Yusuf yang lahir di Mesir serta keturunan mereka adalah 70 orang.
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,
Sebelum mereka sampai di Gosyen, Yehuda diutus terlebih dahulu menghadap Yusuf untuk menanyakan petunjuk tentang tempat yang disediakan bagi mereka di daerah Gosyen. Ketika rombongan Yakub tiba di situ,
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.
Yusuf menyuruh supaya keretanya disiapkan, lalu dia pergi menyambut ayahnya. Saat mereka bertemu, Yusuf memeluk leher ayahnya dan menangis lama sekali.
30 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
Yakub berkata kepada Yusuf, “Sekarang aku bisa mati dengan tenang karena sudah melihat wajahmu dan mengetahui bahwa ternyata kamu masih hidup!”
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.
Lalu Yusuf menyampaikan pesan kepada saudara-saudaranya dan seluruh keluarga Yakub, “Aku akan pergi menghadap raja Mesir untuk memberitahu bahwa ayah, saudara-saudaraku, dan semua anggota keluarga besar kita sudah datang dari Kanaan.
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.’
Aku juga akan menyampaikan bahwa kalian adalah gembala, dan bahwa kalian membawa seluruh kawanan ternak kalian dan semua harta benda lain.
33 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
Apabila raja bertanya, ‘Apa pekerjaan kalian,’
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.
maka kalian harus menjawab, ‘Sejak kecil, kami menggembalakan ternak sama seperti nenek moyang kami.’ Dengan begitu, kalian akan diperbolehkan untuk menetap dan menggembalakan ternak di Gosyen. Yusuf menyuruh mereka menjawab demikian karena bagi orang Mesir, mata pencaharian sebagai gembala dianggap hina.”
