Israel [God prevails] traveled with all that he had, and came to Be'er-Sheva [Well of Seven, Well of an Oath], and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac [Laughter].
2 Na ka korero moemoea te Atua ki a Iharaira i te po, ka mea, E Hakopa, e Hakopa. A ka mea ia, Tenei ahau.
God spoke to Israel [God prevails] in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob [Supplanter], Jacob [Supplanter]!” He said, “Here I am.”
3 A ka mea ia, Ko te Atua ahau, ko te Atua o tou papa: kaua e wehi ki te haere ki raro, ki Ihipa; ka meinga hoki koe e ahau hei iwi nui ki reira:
He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt [Abode of slavery], for there I will make of you a great nation.
4 Ka haere tahi ahau i a koe ki raro, ki Ihipa; maku ano koe e whakahoki mai ki runga nei: a ma te ringa o Hohepa e pehi ou kanohi.
I will go down with you into Egypt [Abode of slavery]. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph [May he add] will close your eyes.”
