Olubereberye 46
1 Awo Isirayiri n’addira byonna bye yalina, n’atandika olugendo; bwe yatuuka e Beriseba n’awaayo ssaddaaka eri Katonda wa kitaawe Isaaka.
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 Katonda n’ayogera ne Isirayiri mu kwolesebwa ekiro, n’amuyita nti, “Yakobo, Yakobo?” N’amuddamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?
3 Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda, Katonda wa kitaawo; totya kuserengeta Misiri, kubanga ndi kufuulirayo eyo eggwanga eddene.
And he says to him, I am the God of thy fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make thee there a great nation.
4 Nzija kuserengeta naawe e Misiri, era ndi kuggyayo; era olifiira mu mikono gya Yusufu.”
And I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will bring thee up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on thine eyes.

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 Era ne batwala ebisibo n’ebintu byabwe bye baafunira mu nsi ya Kanani ne batuuka e Misiri, Yakobo wamu n’ezzadde lye.
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.
