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.
Isalaele akendeki na nyonso oyo azalaki na yango. Tango akomaki na Beri-Sheba, abonzaki mbeka epai ya Nzambe ya Izaki, tata na ye.
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
Na butu, Nzambe alobaki na Isalaele na nzela ya emoniseli: — Jakobi! Jakobi! Jakobi azongisaki: — Ngai oyo.
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.
Nzambe alobaki: — Nazali Nzambe, Nzambe ya tata na yo. Kobanga te kokende na Ejipito, pamba te nakokomisa yo ekolo monene kuna.
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]
Ngai moko nakokende elongo na yo na Ejipito; mpe ya solo, nakozongisa yo lisusu. Loboko ya Jozefi ekozipa miso na yo.
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.
Bongo Jakobi alongwaki na Beri-Sheba. Bana mibali ya Isalaele bamatisaki na bashario oyo Faraon atindaki mpo na komema ye: tata na bango Jakobi, bana na bango mpe basi na bango.
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.
Bamemaki lisusu bibwele na bango mpe biloko nyonso oyo bazalaki na yango na mokili ya Kanana; mpe Jakobi elongo na bakitani na ye nyonso bakendeki na Ejipito.
7 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
Azwaki elongo na ye mpo na kokende na Ejipito: bana na ye ya mibali, bakoko na ye ya mibali mpe bana na ye ya basi elongo na bakoko na ye ya basi: bakitani na ye nyonso.

Bato nyonso oyo bakendeki na Ejipito elongo na Jakobi, oyo bazalaki penza bakitani na ye, longola basi ya bana na ye, bango nyonso bazalaki tuku motoba na motoba.
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.

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,
Liboso ete Jakobi akutana na Jozefi, atindaki Yuda epai ya Jozefi mpo na kobongisa bokutani na bango na Gosheni. Tango bakomaki na Gosheni,
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.
Jozefi abongisaki Shario na ye mpe akendeki kokutana na Isalaele, tata na ye, na Gosheni. Tango kaka akomaki liboso na ye, ayambaki tata na ye mpe alelaki mingi.
30 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
Isalaele alobaki na Jozefi: — Sik’oyo, nakoki na ngai kokufa mpo ete namoni yo penza na miso na ngai moko, mpe ozali nanu na bomoi!
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.
Jozefi alobaki na bandeko na ye mpe na libota ya tata na ye: — Nakokende koyebisa Faraon: « Bandeko na ngai mpe libota ya tata na ngai, ba-oyo bavandaka na mokili ya Kanana, bayei epai na ngai.
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.’
Bazali babateli bibwele, babokolaka bibwele. Bamemi bameme, bantaba, bangombe na bango mpe biloko nyonso oyo bazalaki na yango. »
33 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
Tango Faraon akobenga bino mpe akotuna bino: « Bosalaka mosala nini? »
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.
Bokozongisa: « Basali na yo babokolaka bibwele wuta bomwana na biso kino sik’oyo ndenge bakoko na biso bazalaki kosala. » Soki kaka bolobi bongo, akopesa bino nzela ya kovanda na Gosheni, pamba te bato ya Ejipito balingaka te babateli nyonso ya bibwele.
