Jenèz 46
1 Izrayèl pati avèk tout sa li te genyen. li al Bècheba, li touye bèt, li ofri yo bay Bondye Izarak, papa li.
And Israel journeyeth, and all that he hath, and cometh in to Beer-Sheba, and sacrificeth sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac;
2 Jou lannwit sa a, Bondye pale ak Izrayèl nan rèv, li di l': -Jakòb! Jakòb! Jakòb reponn: -Men mwen wi.
and God speaketh to Israel in visions of the night, and saith, 'Jacob, Jacob;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I.'
3 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.
And He saith, 'I [am] God, God of thy father, be not afraid of going down to Egypt, for for a great nation I set thee there;
4 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.
I — I go down with thee to Egypt, and I — I also certainly bring thee up, and Joseph doth put his hand on thine eyes.'
5 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.

And Judah he hath sent before him unto Joseph, to direct before him to Goshen, and they come into the land of Goshen;
29 Jozèf fè pare cha li a, li moute, li al Gochenn, li al kontre papa l'. Rive Jozèf rive devan papa l', li lage kò l' nan bra l', li pase yon bon tan ap kriye sou zepòl li.
and Joseph harnesseth his chariot, and goeth up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and appeareth unto him, and falleth on his neck, and weepeth on his neck again;
30 Izrayèl di Jozèf konsa: -Koulye a, mwen wè figi ou, mwen konnen ou vivan toujou, mwen mèt mouri.
and Israel saith unto Joseph, 'Let me die this time, after my seeing thy face, for thou [art] yet alive.'
31 Epi Jozèf di frè l' yo ak tout fanmi papa l' yo: -Mwen pral avèti wa a. Mwen pral di l': men frè m' yo ak tout fanmi papa m' yo ki t'ap viv nan peyi Kanaran vin jwenn mwen isit la.
And Joseph saith unto his brethren, and unto the house of his father, 'I go up, and declare to Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and the house of my father who [are] in the land of Canaan have come in unto me;

and the men [are] feeders of a flock, for they have been men of cattle; and their flock, and their herd, and all that they have, they have brought.'
33 Lè farawon an va rele nou pou mande nou ki metye nou,
'And it hath come to pass when Pharaoh calleth for you, and hath said, What [are] your works?
34 n'a reponn li: Monwa, depi nou tout piti jouk koulye a, se bèt n'ap gade, tankou tout zansèt nou yo. Konsa, nou ka rete nan peyi Gochenn lan. Li te di yo sa paske moun peyi Lejip yo pa ka sipòte wè moun k'ap gade bèt viv nan mitan yo.
that ye have said, Thy servants have been men of cattle from our youth, even until now, both we and our fathers, — in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen, for the abomination of the Egyptians is every one feeding a flock.'
