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 took his journey 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 the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
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 said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee 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 thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine 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 Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct his face to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.

And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself to him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
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, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
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, and to his father’s house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say to him, My brethren, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, 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 their occupation hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
33 “Lè Farawon rele nou e di: ‘Kisa nou fè kòm metye.’
And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, 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 ye shall say, The occupation of thy servants hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
