1 Enti, Israel de nʼahodeɛ nyinaa siim kɔduruu Beer-Seba. Ɔbɔɔ Onyankopɔn a na nʼagya Isak somm no no afɔdeɛ wɔ hɔ.
And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the Elohim of his father Isaac.
2 Anadwo anisoadehunu mu no, Onyankopɔn frɛɛ Yakob sɛ, “Yakob! Yakob!” Yakob gyee so sɛ, “Me nie.”
And Elohim spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
3 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mene Onyankopɔn. Onyankopɔn a wʼagya somm no. Nsuro sɛ wobɛkɔ Misraim, ɛfiri sɛ, mɛma wʼase adɔre ayɛ ɔman kɛseɛ wɔ hɔ.
And he said, I am El, the El of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
4 Mʼankasa me ne wo bɛkɔ Misraim, na masane ne wo aba ha bio. Ɛduru ɛberɛ a worebɛwu a, wobɛwu Yosef anim.”
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.
