Rodzaju 46
1 Tak więc Izrael wyruszył [w drogę] ze wszystkim, co miał; a gdy przybył do Beer-Szeby, złożył ofiary Bogu swego ojca Izaaka.
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 Wtedy Bóg powiedział do Izraela w nocnym widzeniu: Jakubie, Jakubie! A on odpowiedział: Oto jestem.
That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
3 I powiedział: Ja [jestem] Bogiem, Bogiem twego ojca. Nie bój się zejść do Egiptu, bo tam cię rozmnożę w wielki naród.
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 Pójdę z tobą do Egiptu i wyprowadzę cię stamtąd [z powrotem], a Józef położy swoją rękę na twoje oczy.
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 I Jakub wyruszył z Beer-Szeby. I synowie Izraela wzięli swego ojca Jakuba, swoje dzieci i swe żony na wozy, które faraon posłał, aby go przywieziono.
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 Zebrali też swe stada i swój dobytek, który zdobyli w ziemi Kanaan, i przyjechali do Egiptu, Jakub i całe jego potomstwo razem z nim;
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 Swych synów i synów swoich synów, swoje córki i córki swoich synów oraz całe swoje potomstwo prowadził ze sobą do Egiptu.
Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
8 A to [są] imiona synów Izraela, którzy weszli do Egiptu – Jakub i jego synowie: pierworodny Jakuba, Ruben.

Joseph and Benjamin, the sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel; (Ephraim and Manasseh were Joseph’s two sons. [They did not go down to Egypt] because they were already in Egypt.

26 Wszystkich, którzy przyszli z Jakubem do Egiptu, pochodzących z jego lędźwi, oprócz żon synów Jakuba, wszystkich dusz było sześćdziesiąt sześć.
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 A synów Józefa, którzy mu się urodzili w Egipcie, były dwie dusze. [I tak] wszystkich dusz z domu Jakuba, które weszły do Egiptu, [było] siedemdziesiąt.
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 I [Jakub] posłał przed sobą Judę do Józefa, aby go uprzedził, zanim przybędzie do Goszen. I przybyli do ziemi Goszen.
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 I Józef zaprzągł swój wóz, i wyjechał naprzeciw swemu ojcu Izraelowi do Goszen. A gdy go zobaczył, rzucił mu się na szyję i długo płakał na jego szyi.
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 Wtedy Izrael powiedział do Józefa: Mogę już umrzeć, skoro ujrzałem twoją twarz, że jeszcze żyjesz.
Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
31 Józef powiedział do swoich braci i do domu swego ojca: Pójdę zawiadomić faraona i powiem mu: Moi bracia i dom mego ojca, którzy byli w ziemi Kanaan, przyjechali do mnie;
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 A [ci] mężczyźni [są] pasterzami, bo zajmowali się hodowlą bydła. Przyprowadzili więc swoje owce i woły, i wszystko, co mieli.
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 A gdy wezwie was faraon i zapyta: Czym się zajmujecie?
When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
34 Odpowiecie: Twoi słudzy od swego dzieciństwa aż do dziś są pasterzami, my i nasi ojcowie. [W ten sposób] będziecie mogli mieszkać w ziemi Goszen, bo Egipcjanie brzydzą się każdym pasterzem.
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.
