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 taking his journey, with all that he had, came to the well of the oath, and killing victims there 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.”
He heard him by a vision in the night calling him, and saying to him: Jacob, Jacob. And he answered him: Lo, here I am.
3 Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda, Katonda wa kitaawo; totya kuserengeta Misiri, kubanga ndi kufuulirayo eyo eggwanga eddene.
God said to him: I am the most mighty God of thy father: fear not, go down into Egypt, for I will make a great nation of thee there.
4 Nzija kuserengeta naawe e Misiri, era ndi kuggyayo; era olifiira mu mikono gya Yusufu.”
I will go down with thee thither, and will bring thee back again from thence: Joseph also shall put his hands upon thy eyes.

And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath: and his sons took him up, with their children and wives in the wagons, which Pharao had sent to carry the old man,
