And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night and said, Jacob, Jacob! And he said, Here am I.

And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down to Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation.
4 Nzija kuserengeta naawe e Misiri, era ndi kuggyayo; era olifiira mu mikono gya Yusufu.”
I will go down with thee to Egypt, and I will also certainly bring thee up; and Joseph shall put his hand on thine eyes.
