Genesisy 46
1 Ie nionjoñe amy fañaveloa’ey t’Israele ninday o fanaña’e iabio naho nandoake e Beersevà ao, le nañenga soroñe aman’ Añahare’ Ietsàke rae’e.
So Jacob left [Canaan], taking with him all his family and possessions. When they arrived at Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to God, the one whom his father Isaac worshiped.
2 Nitsara am’ Israele añ’ aroñaron-kaleñe t’i Andrianañahare nanao ty hoe, O Iakòbe, Iakòbe. Intoy iraho, hoe re.
That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
3 Le hoe Re, Izaho o Andrianañahareo, t’i Andrianañaharen-drae’o; ko hembañe ami’ty fañaveloa’o mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo amy t’ie hanoeko foko ra’elahy te añe.
God said, “I am God, the one your father worshiped. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, because I will give you many descendants, and they will become a great nation there.
4 Hindre lia ama’o mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo iraho vaho toe hampoliko indraike, le ty tañan’ Ana’o, Iosefe, ro hampirompo o fihaino’oo.
I will go down to Egypt with you, and later I will bring [your descendants] back to Canaan again. And Joseph will be with you [MTY] when you die.” [IDM]
5 Aa le nienga i Beersevà t’Iakòbe, vaho nendese’ o ana-dahi’ Israeleo t’i rae’e Iakòbe rekets’ o keleia’eo naho o vali’eo amo sarete nahitri’ i Parò hindesañe azeo.
Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took their father, their wives, and their children, in the carts that the king had sent for them to travel in.
6 Nendese’ iereo o hare’ iareoo naho ty vara’iareo, o niazo’ iareo an-tane Kanàneo, vaho nandoak’e Mitsraime ao: t’Iakòbe rekets’ i hasavereña’e iabiy;
So Jacob and all his family went to Egypt. They took with them the livestock and all the other possessions that they had acquired in Canaan.
7 nendese’e mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo ze hene ana-dahi’e naho anan’ana’e lahy naho anak’ampela’e naho anak’ampelan’ ana-dahi’e vaho o tarira’e iabio.
Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
8 Aa le zao o tahinan’ ana’ Israele nandoak’e Mitsraimeo: Iakòbe naho o ana-dahi’eo. I Reòbene tañoloñoloña’ Iakòbe,

26 Ze hene ondati’ Iakòbe nitotsake Mitsraime añe, o boak’am-bania’e ao naho tsy o valin’ ana’eo, le ondaty enem-polo eneñ’ amby.
Altogether there were 66 people who were Jacob’s descendants who went to Egypt with him. That number does not include his sons’ wives.
27 Roe ty ana’ Iosefe nisamake e Mitsraime ao; aa le fitompolo ty an-kasavereña’ Iakòbe nandoake e Mitsraime añe.
Including Jacob and Joseph and Joseph’s two sons who were born in Egypt, there were 70 members of Jacob’s family when they were all there in Egypt.
28 Nirahe’e aolo mb’am’Iosefe mb’eo t’Iehodà hatoro’e aze hey ty lalañe mb’e Gosena mb’eo, vaho nimoak’ an-tane Gosena ao iereo.
Jacob sent Judah to go ahead of the rest of them to talk with Joseph and ask for directions on how to travel to Goshen. Then [Judah returned to the rest of his family and] they all traveled to the Goshen region. When they arrived there,
29 Nampihentseñe’ Iosefe ty sarete’e le nionjom-b’eo hifanalaka am’ Israele rae’e e Gosena ao. Niheo ama’e mb’eo re, le namorokoko am-pititia’e vaho nangololoike ela am-pititia’e eo.
Joseph got his chariot ready and went to Goshen to meet his father. When Joseph arrived, he threw his arms around his father’s neck and cried a long time.
30 Hoe t’Israele am’ Iosefe, Apoho hikenkañe henaneo, fa nitreako ty tarehe’o t’ie mbe veloñe.
Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
31 Hoe t’Iosefe aman-drahalahi’e naho añ’anjomban-drae’e, Hiavotse mb’eo iraho hitalily ty hoe amy Parò: Fa totsak’ amako atoy o rahalahikoo naho ty anjomban-draeko boak’ an-tane Kanàne añe.
Then Joseph said to his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and to the rest of his father’s family, “I will go to the king and say to him, ‘My [older] brothers [and younger brother] and my father and the rest of his family, who were living in Canaan land, have all come to me.
32 Mpiarak’ añondry o lahilahio, fa mpihare, le hene nendese’ iereo o mpirai-lia’eo naho o mpirai-tro’eo vaho ze he’e am’iareoo.
The men are all shepherds. They take care of their livestock, and they have brought with them their sheep and goats and cattle, and everything else that they own.’
33 Ie koiha’ i Parò manao ty hoe, Inom-bao ty tolon-draha’ areo?
When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
34 le hanoa’areo ty hoe, Fa mpihare boak’ amy te niajalahy pake henane o mpitoro’oo, zahay naho o roae’aio—soa t’ie hitoetse an-tane Gosena, amy te mampangorý o nte-Mitsraimeo ze atao mpiarak’ añondry.
answer him by saying, ‘From the time when we were young, we have taken care of livestock, just as our ancestors did.’ If you tell him that, he will let you live in the Goshen region.” Joseph told them to say that because the people of Egypt despised all shepherds.
