Uumama 46
1 Israaʼel waan qabu hunda fudhatee kaʼe; yeroo Bersheebaa gaʼettis Waaqa abbaa isaa Waaqa Yisihaaqiifis aarsaa dhiʼeesse.
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 Waaqnis halkan mulʼataan, “Yaaqoob! Yaaqoob!” jedhee Israaʼelitti dubbate. Innis, “Kunoo ani as jira” jedhee deebise.
That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
3 Waaqnis akkana jedhe; “Ani Waaqayyo, Waaqa abbaa keetii ti. Gibxitti gad buʼuu hin sodaatin; ani achitti saba guddaa sin taasisaatii.
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 Ani si wajjin Gibxitti gad buʼee deebisee sin fida. Harkuma Yooseftu ija kee walitti siif qaba.”
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 Yaaqoobis Bersheebaadhaa kaʼee qajeele; ilmaan Israaʼelis abbaa isaanii Yaaqoob, ijoollee isaaniitii fi niitota isaanii gaariiwwan Yaaqoobin baachuuf Faraʼoon erge sana irra teessisan.
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 Yaaqoobii fi sanyiin isaa hundis horii isaaniitii fi qabeenya Kanaʼaanitti horatan of faana fudhatanii Gibxitti godaanan.
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 Innis sanyii isaa hunda jechuunis ilmaan isaa, ilmaan ilmaan isaa, intallan isaatii fi intallan ilmaan isaa fudhatee Gibxitti godaane.
Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
8 Maqaawwan ilmaan Israaʼel warra Gibxitti godaanan sanaa jechuunis Yaaqoobii fi sanyiiwwan isaa kanneenii dha: Ruubeen jechuunis ilma Yaaqoob hangafticha.

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 Ilmaan Gibxitti Yoosefiif dhalatan lamaan dabalatee miseensonni maatii Yaaqoob warri Gibxitti godaanan walumaa galatti torbaatama turan.
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 Yaaqoobis akka inni dhaqee karaa Gooshenitti nama geessu gaafatuuf Yihuudaa of dura gara Yoosefitti erge. Yommuu isaan Gooshen gaʼanitti,
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 Yoosef gaarii isaa qopheeffatee abbaa isaa Israaʼel simachuuf Gooshenitti qajeele. Innis akkuma fuula isaa duratti mulʼateen morma isaatti marmee yeroo dheeraa booʼe.
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 Israaʼelis Yoosefiin, “Ani sababii akka ati amma iyyuu lubbuun jirtu ofii kootiin argeef siʼachi duʼu illee hin gaabbu” jedhe.
Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
31 Yoosefis obboloota isaatii fi warra mana abbaa isaa jiraataniin akkana jedhe; “Ani ol baʼee Faraʼoonitti nan dubbadha; akkanas nan jedhaan; ‘Obboloonni koo fi warri mana abbaa koo jiraatan kanneen biyya Kanaʼaan jiraachaa turan natti dhufaniiru.
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 Namoonni kunneen tiksoota; isaan loon tikfatuutii. Isaan bushaayee isaanii, loonii fi waan qaban hunda fudhatanii dhufan.’
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 Yoo Faraʼoon ofitti isin waamee, ‘Hojiin keessan maal?’ jedhee isin gaafate,
When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
34 ‘Nu garboonni kee akkuma abbootii keenyaa ijoollummaa keenyaa jalqabnee hamma ammaatti horii tikfachaa turre’ jedhaa deebisaa. Yoos inni sababii tiksoonni hundinuu warra Gibxi biratti jibbamaniif akka isin biyya Gooshen keessa jiraattan isinii eeyyamaa.”
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.
