Genesisi 46
1 Saka Israeri akasimuka nezvose zvakanga zviri zvake, uye akati asvika kuBheerishebha, akapa zvibayiro kuna Mwari wababa vake Isaka.
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
2 Uye Mwari akataura kuna Israeri muchiratidzo usiku akati, “Jakobho! Jakobho!” Iye akati, “Ndiri pano.”
And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
3 Mwari akati, “Ndini Mwari, iye Mwari wababa vako. Usatya kuenda kuIjipiti, nokuti ndichakuita rudzi rukuru ikoko.
And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
4 Ndichaburuka kuIjipiti pamwe chete newe, uye zvirokwazvo ndichakudzosazve. Uye ruoko rwaJosefa chairwo ndirwo ruchazarira meso ako.”
I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
