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.
Israel made his journey with all that he had and went to Beersheba. There he 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.”
God spoke to Israel in a vision at night, saying, “Jacob, Jacob.” 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 fear to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you 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 will surely bring you up again and Joseph will close your eyes with his own hand.”
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.

The men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock. They have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.'
33 “Lè Farawon rele nou e di: ‘Kisa nou fè kòm metye.’
It will come about, when Pharaoh calls you and asks, 'What is your 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.”
that you should say, 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth until now, both we, and our forefathers.' Do this so that you may live in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”
