And He says, “I [am] God, God of your father, do not be afraid of going down to Egypt, for I set you there for a great nation;
4 Nzija kuserengeta naawe e Misiri, era ndi kuggyayo; era olifiira mu mikono gya Yusufu.”
I go down with you to Egypt, and I also certainly bring you up, and Joseph puts his hand on your eyes.”
