Jenèz 46
1 Epi Israël te pati avèk tout sa li te genyen. Li te vini Beer-Schéba e te ofri sakrifis a Bondye a papa li a, Isaac.
And Israel departed, he and all that he had, and came to the well of the oath; and he offered sacrifice to the God of his father Isaac.
2 Bondye te pale avèk Israël nan vizyon nan nwit lan. Li te di: “Jacob, Jacob.” Jacob te reponn: “Men mwen isit la.”
And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?
3 Li te di: “Mwen se Bondye, Bondye a papa ou a. Pa pè desann an Égypte, paske mwen va fè nou vin yon gran nasyon la.
And he says to him, I am the God of your fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make you there a great nation.
4 Mwen va desann avèk nou an Égypte. Mwen va anplis, an verite, fè nou monte ankò. Epi se men Joseph ki va fèmen zye ou.”
And I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will bring you up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on your eyes.
5 Alò, Jacob te leve kite Beer-Schéba. Fis Israël yo te pote papa yo, Jacob, ak pitit pa yo, ak madanm yo nan cha ke Farawon te voye pou pote yo.
And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath; and the sons of Israel took up their father, and the baggage, and their wives on the waggons, which Joseph sent to take them.
6 Yo te pran tout bèt yo avèk tout byen yo, ke yo te vin gen nan peyi Canaan an, e yo te vini an Égypte, Jacob avèk tout desandan li yo, ansanm
And they took up their goods, and all their property, which they had gotten in the land of Chanaan; they came into the land of Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him.

And Joseph having made ready his chariots, went up to meet Israel his father, at the city of Heroes; and having appeared to him, fell on his neck, and wept with abundant weeping.
30 Konsa Israël te di a Joseph: “Koulye a kite mwen mouri, paske mwen gen tan wè figi ou, ke ou toujou vivan.”
And Israel said to Joseph, After this I will [gladly] die, since I have seen your face, for you are yet living.
31 Joseph te di a frè l yo e a lakay papa li: “Mwen va monte pou pale ak Farawon, e mwen va di li: ‘Frè m yo avèk lakay papa m, ki te nan peyi Canaan an vin kote mwen.
And Joseph said to his brethren, I will go up and tell Pharao, and will say to him, My brethren, and my father's house, who were in the land of Chanaan, are come to me.
32 Mesye sa yo se bèje, paske yo te konn okipe bèt. E yo te mennen bann mouton pa yo avèk twoupo pa yo, ak tout sa yo posede.’
And the men are shepherds; for they have been feeders of cattle, and they have brought with them their cattle, and their kine, and all their property.
33 “Lè Farawon rele nou e di: ‘Kisa nou fè kòm metye.’
If then Pharao call you, and say to you, What is you occupation?
34 Nou va di: ‘Sèvitè ou yo ap okipe bèt depi lè nou te jenn jis rive koulye a, ni nou menm, ni papa nou yo,’ pou nou kapab viv nan peyi Gosen; paske tout bèje se yon abominasyon pou Ejipsyen yo.”
You shall say, We your servants are herdsmen from our youth until now, both we and our fathers: that you may dwell in the land of Gesem of Arabia, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
