Hivyo Israeli akaondoka na vyote vilivyokuwa mali yake, naye alipofika Beer-Sheba, akamtolea dhabihu Mungu wa Isaki baba yake.
2 he herde God bi a visioun in that nyyt clepynge hym, `and seiynge to hym, Jacob! Jacob! To whom he answeride, Lo! Y am present.
Mungu akanena na Israeli katika maono usiku na kusema, “Yakobo! Yakobo!” Akajibu, “Mimi hapa.”
3 God seide to hym, Y am the strongeste God of thi fadir; nyle thou drede, go doun in to Egipt, for Y schal make thee there in to a greet folk;
Mungu akamwambia, “Mimi ndimi Mungu wa baba yako, usiogope kushuka Misri, kwa maana huko nitakufanya taifa kubwa.
4 Y schal go doun thidir with thee, and Y schal brynge thee turnynge ayen fro thennus, and Joseph schal sette his hond on thin iyen.
Nitashuka Misri pamoja nawe, nami hakika nitakurudisha tena Kanaani. Mikono ya Yosefu mwenyewe ndiyo itakayofunga macho yako.”
