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.
| پس یعقوب با هر چه که داشت کوچ کرده، به بئرشبع آمد و در آنجا برای خدای پدرش اسحاق، قربانیها تقدیم کرد. |
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
| شب هنگام، خدا در رویا به وی گفت: «یعقوب! یعقوب!» عرض کرد: «بله، خداوندا!» |
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 خدا هستم، خدای پدرت! از رفتن به مصر نترس، زیرا در آنجا از تو قوم بزرگی به وجود خواهم آورد. |
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 تو را به یقین باز خواهم آورد. تو در مصر خواهی مرد و یوسف با دست خود چشمانت را خواهد بست.» |
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.
| یعقوب از بئرشبع کوچ کرد و پسرانش او را همراه زنان و فرزندانشان با ارابه‌هایی که فرعون به ایشان داده بود، به مصر بردند. |
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.
| آنها گله و رمه و تمامی اموالی را که در کنعان اندوخته بودند، با خود به مصر آوردند. |
7 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
| یعقوب با پسران و دختران و نوه‌های پسری و دختری خود و تمام خویشانش به مصر آمد. |
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.)

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.)

| اسامی پسران و نوه‌های یعقوب که با وی به مصر آمدند از این قرار است: رئوبین پسر ارشد او |
| و پسرانش: حنوک، فلو، حصرون و کرمی. |
| شمعون و پسرانش: یموئیل، یامین، اوحد، یاکین، صوحر و شائول. (مادر شائول کنعانی بود.) |
| لاوی و پسرانش: جرشون، قهات و مراری. |
| یهودا و پسرانش: عیر، اونان، شیله، فارص و زارح. (اما عیر و اونان پیش از رفتن یعقوب به مصر در کنعان مردند.) پسران فارص، حصرون و حامول بودند. |
| یساکار و پسرانش: تولاع، فوّه، یوب و شمرون. |
| زبولون و پسرانش: سارد، ایلون و یاحل‌ئیل. |
| اینها بودند پسران لیه که آنها را با دختر خود دینه، در فَدّان‌اَرام برای یعقوب به دنیا آورد. این پسران و دختران یعقوب در مجموع سی و سه نفر بودند. |
| پسران جاد: صفیون، حجّی، شونی، اصبون، عیری، ارودی و ارئیلی. |
| پسران اشیر: یمنه، یشوه، یشوی، بریعه و دخترش سِراح. پسران بریعه حابر و ملکی‌ئیل بودند. |
| اینان بودند پسران یعقوب و زلفه، کنیزی که لابان به دخترش لیه داده بود. آنها در مجموع شانزده نفر بودند. |
| پسران راحیل، همسر یعقوب: یوسف و بنیامین. |
| پسران یوسف که در مصر متولد شدند: منسی و افرایم. مادرشان اسنات، دختر فوطی فارع، کاهن اون بود. |
| پسران بنیامین: بالع، باکر، اشبیل، جیرا، نعمان، ایحی، رش، مفیّم، حفیّم و آرد. |
| اینان بودند پسران راحیل و یعقوب. آنها در مجموع چهارده نفر بودند. |
| پسر دان: حوشیم. |
| پسران نفتالی: یحص‌ئیل، جونی، یصر و شلیّم. |
| اینان بودند پسران یعقوب و بلهه، کنیزی که لابان به دخترش راحیل داده بود. در مجموع هفت نفر بودند. |
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.
| پس تعداد افرادی که از نسل یعقوب همراه او به مصر رفتند (غیر از زنان پسرانش) شصت و شش نفر بود. |
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.
| برای یوسف نیز دو پسر در مصر متولد شدند. پس جمع افراد خانوادهٔ یعقوب که در مصر بودند، هفتاد نفر می‌شد. |
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,
| یعقوب، پسرش یهودا را پیشاپیش نزد یوسف فرستاد تا از او بپرسد که از چه راهی باید به زمین جوشن بروند. وقتی به جوشن رسیدند، |
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.
| یوسف ارابهٔ خود را حاضر کرد و برای دیدن پدرش به جوشن رفت. وقتی در آنجا پدرش را دید، او را در آغوش گرفته، مدتی گریست. |
30 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
| آنگاه یعقوب به یوسف گفت: «حال، مرا غم مُردن نیست، زیرا بار دیگر تو را دیدم و می‌دانم که زنده‌ای.» |
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.
| یوسف به برادرانش و تمامی افراد خانواده آنها گفت: «حال می‌روم تا به فرعون خبر دهم که شما از کنعان به نزد من آمده‌اید. |
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.’
| به او خواهم گفت که شما چوپان هستید و تمامی گله‌ها و رمه‌ها و هر آنچه را که داشته‌اید همراه خویش آورده‌اید. |
33 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
| پس اگر فرعون از شما بپرسد که شغل شما چیست، |
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.
| به او بگویید که از ابتدای جوانی تا به حال به شغل چوپانی و گله‌داری مشغول بوده‌اید و این کار را از پدران خود به ارث برده‌اید. اگر چنین به فرعون پاسخ دهید او به شما اجازه خواهد داد تا در جوشن ساکن شوید، چون مردم سایر نقاط مصر از چوپانان نفرت دارند.» |
