< Genesis 46 >

1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Awo Isirayiri n’addira byonna bye yalina, n’atandika olugendo; bwe yatuuka e Beriseba n’awaayo ssaddaaka eri Katonda wa kitaawe Isaaka.
2 And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob: and he said, Here [am] I.
Katonda n’ayogera ne Isirayiri mu kwolesebwa ekiro, n’amuyita nti, “Yakobo, Yakobo?” N’amuddamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
3 And he said, I [am] God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda, Katonda wa kitaawo; totya kuserengeta Misiri, kubanga ndi kufuulirayo eyo eggwanga eddene.
4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up [again]: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
Nzija kuserengeta naawe e Misiri, era ndi kuggyayo; era olifiira mu mikono gya Yusufu.”
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
Awo Yakobo n’ava e Beriseba, batabani be ne bamutwalira wamu n’abaana baabwe abato, ne bakazi baabwe ne babassa mu magaali Falaawo ge yaweereza okumutwala.
6 And they took their cattle, and their goods which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
Era ne batwala ebisibo n’ebintu byabwe bye baafunira mu nsi ya Kanani ne batuuka e Misiri, Yakobo wamu n’ezzadde lye.
7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
Batabani be ne bazzukulu be, bawala be n’abaana ba bawala be; ezzadde lye lyonna n’alireeta mu Misiri wamu naye.
8 And these [are] the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's first-born.

28 And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.

29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went to meet Israel his father to Goshen; and presented himself to him: and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
Awo Yusufu n’ateekateeka eggaali lye n’agenda okusisinkana Isirayiri kitaawe e Goseni, n’amweraga, n’amugwa mu kifuba n’akaabira mu kifuba kye okumala akabanga.
30 And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou [art] yet alive.
Isirayiri n’agamba Yusufu nti, “Kale kaakano ka nfe, kubanga ndabye amaaso go ne ntegeera nti okyali mulamu.”
31 And Joseph said to his brethren, and to his father's house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say to him, My brethren, and my father's house, who [were] in the land of Canaan are come to me.
Yusufu n’agamba baganda be n’ab’ennyumba ya kitaawe nti, “Nzija kugenda eri Falaawo mugambe nti, ‘Baganda bange n’ennyumba ya kitange abaali mu nsi ya Kanani bazze gye ndi.
32 And the men [are] shepherds, for their employment hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
Kyokka balunzi; balunda ente era baleese amagana gaabwe n’ebisibo byabwe ne byonna bye balina.’
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What [is] your occupation?
Kale Falaawo bw’abayita n’ababuuza nti, ‘Mukola mulimu ki?’
34 That ye shall say, The occupation of thy servants hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, [and] also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd [is] an abomination to the Egyptians.
Mumuddemu nti, ‘Abaweereza bo kasookedde tuzaalibwa tuli balunzi, ffe ne bajjajjaffe.’ Mulyoke mubeere mu nsi ya Goseni, kubanga abalunzi baamuzizo eri Abamisiri.”
