1 Pea fononga ʻa ʻIsileli mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ne maʻu, pea haʻu ia ki Peasipa, pea ne ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻene tamai ko ʻAisake.
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 Pea naʻe folofola ʻae ʻOtua kia ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi meʻa hā mai ʻoe pō, ʻo ne pehē, “Sēkope, Sēkope;” pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko au eni.”
That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
3 Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e ʻOtua au, ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamai: ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ke ʻalu hifo ki ʻIsipite, he te u ngaohi ʻaki koe ʻi ai ʻae puleʻanga lahi.
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 Pea te u ʻalu mo koe ki ʻIsipite; pea ko e moʻoni te u toe ʻomi koe mei ai; pea ʻe ʻai ʻe Siosefa hono nima ki ho mata.”
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]

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 Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻenau fanga manu mo ʻenau koloa, naʻa nau maʻu ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo nau haʻu ki ʻIsipite, ʻa Sēkope, mo hono hako kotoa pē mo ia:

28 Pea naʻa ne fekau ʻa Siuta ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate ia, ke fakahinohino ia ki Koseni; pea naʻa nau hoko ki he fonua ko Koseni.
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 Pea teuteu ʻe Siosefa hono saliote, pea ʻalu ia ke fakafetaulaki ki heʻene tamai ʻi Koseni, ʻo ne fakahā ia kiate ia: pea ne fāʻufua ia ʻo faʻaki ki hono kia ʻo tangi fuoloa.
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 Pea pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kia Siosefa, “Ko eni tuku ke u mate, he koeʻuhi kuo u mamata ki ho mata, pea ʻoku ke kei moʻui.”
Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
31 Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai, “Te u ʻalu hake ʻo fakahā kia Felo, ʻo tala kiate ia, ko hoku ngaahi tokoua, mo e fale ʻo ʻeku tamai ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani, kuo nau haʻu kiate au.
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 Pea ko e kau tauhi sipi ʻae kau tangata, he ko ʻenau ngāue ko e fafanga ʻae fanga manu; pea kuo nau ʻomi ʻenau fanga manu mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau maʻu.
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 Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻoka ui ʻa Felo kiate kimoutolu, ʻo ne fehuʻi pe ko e hā ʻa hoʻomou faiva;
When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’
34 Pea te mou pehē, ‘Ko e ngāue ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki talu ʻemau kei siʻi ʻo fai mai ni, ʻio ʻakimautolu mo ʻemau ngaahi tamai, ko e tauhimanu;’ koeʻuhi ke mou nofo ʻi he fonua ko Koseni,” he ʻoku fakalielia ki he kakai ʻIsipite, ʻae tauhi sipi kotoa pē.
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.
