Genesis 46
1 Israel travelled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.
Izrayèl pati avèk tout sa li te genyen. li al Bècheba, li touye bèt, li ofri yo bay Bondye Izarak, papa li.
2 God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He said, “Here I am.”
Jou lannwit sa a, Bondye pale ak Izrayèl nan rèv, li di l': -Jakòb! Jakòb! Jakòb reponn: -Men mwen wi.
3 He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
Bondye di li: -Mwen se Bondye, Bondye papa ou la. Ou pa bezwen pè desann ale nan peyi Lejip paske m'ap fè pitit pitit ou yo tounen yon gwo pèp laba a.
4 I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes.”
M'ap desann avè ou nan peyi Lejip, m'ap fè pitit pitit ou yo tounen isit la ankò. Se Jozèf ki va fèmen je ou lè wa mouri.
5 Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
Jakòb pati, li kite Bècheba. Pitit Izrayèl yo pran Jakòb, papa yo, ansanm ak timoun yo ak madanm yo, yo fè yo moute sou cha farawon an te voye pou yo vwayaje a.
6 They took their livestock, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt—Jacob, and all his offspring with him,
Yo pran tout bèt ak tout byen yo te fè nan peyi Kanaran an. Yo desann nan peyi Lejip. Yo mennen Jakòb desann nan peyi Lejip ak tout pitit pitit li yo.

32 These men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.’
