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.
| و اسرائیل با هر‌چه داشت، کوچ کرده، به بئرشبع آمد، و قربانی‌ها برای خدای پدر خود، اسحاق، گذرانید. | ۱ |
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
| و خدا دررویاهای شب، به اسرائیل خطاب کرده، گفت: «ای یعقوب! ای یعقوب!» گفت: «لبیک.» | ۲ |
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.
| گفت: «من هستم الله، خدای پدرت، از فرود آمدن به مصر مترس، زیرا در آنجا امتی عظیم از تو به وجود خواهم آورد. | ۳ |
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]
| من با تو به مصر خواهم آمد، و من نیز، تو را از آنجا البته باز خواهم آورد، و یوسف دست خود را بر چشمان تو خواهدگذاشت.» | ۴ |
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.
| و یعقوب از بئرشبع روانه شد، وبنی‌اسرائیل پدر خود، یعقوب، و اطفال و زنان خویش را بر ارابه هایی که فرعون به جهت آوردن او فرستاده بود، برداشتند. | ۵ |
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.
| و مواشی و اموالی راکه در زمین کنعان اندوخته بودند، گرفتند. ویعقوب با تمامی ذریت خود به مصر آمدند. | ۶ |
7 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
| وپسران و پسران پسران خود را با خود، و دختران ودختران پسران خود را، و تمامی ذریت خویش رابه همراهی خود به مصر آورد. | ۷ |
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.)

| و پسران روبین: حنوک و فلو و حصرون و کرمی. | ۹ |

| وپسران زبولون: سارد و ایلون و یاحلئیل. | ۱۴ |

| و پسران راحیل زن یعقوب: یوسف و بنیامین. | ۱۹ |
| و برای یوسف درزمین مصر، منسی و افرایم زاییده شدند، که اسنات دختر فوطی فارع، کاهن اون برایش بزاد. | ۲۰ |
| و پسران بنیامین: بالع و باکر و اشبیل و جیرا ونعمان و ایحی و رش و مفیم و حفیم و آرد. | ۲۱ |

| و پسران نفتالی: یحصئیل و جونی و یصر وشلیم. | ۲۴ |
| اینانند پسران بلهه، که لابان به دخترخود راحیل داد، و ایشان را برای یعقوب زایید. همه هفت نفر بودند. | ۲۵ |
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.
| همه نفوسی که با یعقوب به مصر آمدند، که از صلب وی پدید شدند، سوای زنان پسران یعقوب، جمیع شصت و شش نفر بودند. | ۲۶ |
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.
| وپسران یوسف که برایش در مصر زاییده شدند، دونفر بودند. پس جمیع نفوس خاندان یعقوب که به مصر آمدند هفتاد بودند. | ۲۷ |
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,
| و یهودا را پیش روی خود نزد یوسف فرستاد تا او را به جوشن راهنمایی کند، و به زمین جوشن آمدند. | ۲۸ |
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.
| و یوسف عرابه خود را حاضرساخت، تا به استقبال پدر خود اسرائیل به جوشن برود. و چون او را بدید به گردنش بیاویخت، ومدتی بر گردنش گریست. | ۲۹ |
30 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
| و اسرائیل به یوسف گفت: «اکنون بمیرم، چونکه روی تو را دیدم که تابحال زنده هستی.» | ۳۰ |
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.
| و یوسف برادران خود و اهل خانه پدر خویش را گفت: «می‌روم تا فرعون را خبر دهم و به وی گویم: “برادرانم و خانواده پدرم که در زمین کنعان بودند، نزد من آمده‌اند. | ۳۱ |
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.’
| و مردان شبانان هستند، زیرا اهل مواشیند، وگله‌ها و رمه‌ها و کل مایملک خود را آورده‌اند.” | ۳۲ |
33 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
| و چون فرعون شما را بطلبد و گوید: “کسب شما چیست؟” | ۳۳ |
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.
| گویید: “غلامانت از طفولیت تابحال اهل مواشی هستیم، هم ما و هم اجداد ما، تادر زمین جوشن ساکن شوید، زیرا که هر شبان گوسفند مکروه مصریان است.» | ۳۴ |
