Farawa 46
1 Saboda haka Isra’ila ya kama hanya da dukan abin da yake nasa, sa’ad da ya kai Beyersheba, sai ya miƙa hadayu ga Allah na Ishaku, mahaifinsa.
So Israel set out with all that he had, and when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2 Allah kuwa ya yi magana ga Isra’ila a wahayi da dare ya ce, “Yaƙub! Yaƙub!” Yaƙub kuwa ya amsa ya ce, “Ga ni.”
And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.
3 Sai Allah ya ce, “Ni ne Allah, Allah na mahaifinka. Kada ka ji tsoron zuwa Masar, gama zan mai da kai al’umma mai girma a can.
“I am God,” He said, “the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.
4 Zan gangara zuwa Masar tare da kai, tabbatacce zan sāke dawo da kai. Kuma hannun Yusuf zai rufe idanunka.”
I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”
5 Sa’an nan Yaƙub ya bar Beyersheba,’ya’yan Isra’ila maza, suka ɗauki mahaifinsu Yaƙub da’ya’yansu da matansu a cikin wagonun da Fir’auna ya aika don a kawo shi.
Then Jacob departed from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him, along with their children and wives.

you are to say, ‘Your servants have raised livestock ever since our youth—both we and our fathers.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the land of Goshen, since all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.”
