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.
So Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices 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 vision at night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here I am."
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.
He said, "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into 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.”
I will go down with you into Egypt, and I myself will surely bring you up again, and Joseph will close your eyes."
