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.
Basa naa ma, Yakob naꞌalilinuꞌ sudꞌiꞌ a saa nara, de lao hela Kanaꞌan. Losa kambo Berseba, ana hala banda tao tutunu-hohotuꞌ fee Lamatualain, fo mia dalahulu na aman Isak namahereꞌ a.
2 That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
Tetembaꞌ sa, nalamein. Sia meit naa, ana rena Lamatualain noꞌe nae, “Wei! Yakob! Yakob! Fela fo rena dei!” Boe ma ana nataa nae, “Taꞌo bee?”
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.
Lamatualain nae, “Au ia, Lamatualain fo ama ma namahere mia maꞌahulu na. Afiꞌ mumutau Masir muu. Te dei fo Au tao tititi-nonosi mara dadꞌi leo monaeꞌ sia naa.
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]
Au o nggo Masir muu boe. Ma dei fo Au o baliꞌ tititi-nonosi mara risiꞌ Kanaꞌan fai. Leleꞌ ho mate, naa, ana ma Yusuf sia bobꞌoa ma.”
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.
De Yakob no ana nara lao hela kambo Berseba. Ara fua e, no sao-ana nara, reu kareta fo mane Masir haituaꞌ ra.
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.
Ara rendi hata-heto nara, ma basa banda mana dadꞌi sira ena na mia Kanaꞌan. No taꞌo naa, Yakob no ana mone nara, ana feton, ma basa umbu nara ma sufe nara, lao Masir reu.
7 Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
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.)

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.
Dadꞌi Yakob tititi-nonosi nara fo mana risiꞌ Masir reu a, atahori nee nulu nee. Nda feꞌe ana mone-ana feto feu nara sa.
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.
Tamba Yusuf no ana na rua fo bꞌonggi se sia Masir, de reken naa Yakob no basa bobꞌonggi nara mana leo sia Masir, atahori hitu nulu.
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,
Ara rae deka Masir ma, Yakob denu ana na Yahuda laoꞌ naꞌahuluꞌ, neu noꞌe Yusuf, nema nandaa no e sia Gosen. Ara losa Gosen boe ma,
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 sae kareta na, de neu nandaa no aman sia naa. Ara randaa ma, Yusuf holu aman, de nggae doo na seli.
30 Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
Yakob olaꞌ no Yusuf nae, “Ana Yusuf e! Ia naa, au ita nggo ena. Ma bubꞌuluꞌ ho feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ. Naa de, mae au mate oras ia o, malole.”
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.
Basa de, Yusuf nafadꞌe basa odꞌi-aꞌa nara nae, “Au musi uu ufadꞌe maneꞌ a, ae bobꞌonggi nggara rema mia Kanaꞌan.
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.’
Dei fo au ufadꞌe ae hei ia, atahori mana maꞌaboi bibꞌi lombo ma sapi. Naa de hei mendi banda ma hata-hetoꞌ mara mia Kanaꞌan.
33 When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
Mete ma maneꞌ a noꞌe hei, ma natane ue-tatao mara saa,
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.
na mitaa mae, basa hai mana miꞌiboi banda mia anadikiꞌ ima, onaꞌ hei bei-baꞌi mara boe. No naa, dei fo ana fee hei leo sia Gosen.” Yusuf nafadꞌe taꞌo naa, huu atahori Masir ra melumudꞌu, leo raꞌabꞌue ro atahori manatadꞌa ra.
