Mwanzo 46
1 Israeli akasafiri na yote aliyokuwa nayo na akaja Beersheba. Pale akatoa sadaka kwa Mungu wa Isaka baba yake.
And Israel commenced his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
2 Mungu akamwambia Israeli katika ndoto usiku, akisema, “Yakobo, Yakobo.”
And God spoke unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
3 Akasema, “Mimi hapa.” Akasema, “Mimi ni Mungu, Mungu wa baba yako. Usiogope kushuka Misri, kwa maana nitakufanya taifa kubwa huko.
And he said, I am God, the God of thy father; fear not to go down into Egypt; for a great nation will I make of thee there:
4 Nitakwenda pamoja nawe huko Misri, Nami nitakupandisha huku tena bila shaka. Na Yusufu akayafunika macho yako kwa mikono wake.”
I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again; and Joseph shall put his hand upon thy eyes.

32 Watu hawa ni wafugaji, kwani wamekuwa watunza wanyama. Wamekuja na makundi yao ya kondoo, na mbuzi, na vyote walivyonavyo.'
And the men are shepherds, for they have been owners of cattle; and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, they have brought along.
33 Itakuwa, Farao atakapowaita na kuwauliza, 'Kazi yenu ni ipi?'
And it shall come to pass, if Pharaoh should have you called, and say, What is your occupation?
34 mwambieni, 'Watumishi wako wamekuwa watunza wanyama tangu ujana wetu mpaka sasa, sisi, na baba zetu.' Fanyeni hivyo ili mweze kuishi katika nchi ya Gosheni, kwani kila mfugaji ni chukizo kwa Wamisri.”
That ye shall say, Owners of cattle have thy servants been from our youth even until now, both we, as also our fathers; in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
