Genesis 46
1 Báyìí ni Israẹli mú ìrìnàjò rẹ̀ pọ̀n pẹ̀lú ohun gbogbo tí ó ní, nígbà tí ó sì dé Beerṣeba, ó rú ẹbọ sí Ọlọ́run Isaaki baba rẹ̀.
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 Ọlọ́run sì bá Israẹli sọ̀rọ̀ ní ojú ìran ní òru pé, “Jakọbu! Jakọbu!” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi nìyí.”
That night, God called to Jacob in a vision, saying, “Jacob! Jacob!” He replied, “I am here!”
3 Ọlọ́run sì wí pé, “Èmi ni Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run baba rẹ, má ṣe bẹ̀rù láti sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ilẹ̀ Ejibiti nítorí, èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá níbẹ̀.
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 Èmi yóò sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ pẹ̀lú rẹ lọ sí Ejibiti, èmi yóò sì tún mú ọ padà wá. Ọwọ́ Josẹfu fúnra rẹ̀ ni ìwọ yóò sì kú sí.”
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 Nígbà náà ni Jakọbu kúrò ní Beerṣeba, àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì mú Jakọbu baba wọn àti àwọn aya wọn àti àwọn ọmọ wọn, wọ́n sì kó wọn sí inú kẹ̀kẹ́ ẹrù tí Farao fi ránṣẹ́ fún ìrìnàjò rẹ̀.
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 Wọ́n tún kó àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn wọn àti gbogbo ohun ìní tí wọ́n ti ní láti ilẹ̀ Kenaani, Jakọbu àti gbogbo irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti.
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 Ó kó àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin, àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin, gbogbo irú-ọmọ rẹ̀ lọ sí Ejibiti.
Jacob went to Egypt with all his sons and his daughters and grandsons and granddaughters—his whole family.
8 Èyí ni orúkọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli (Jakọbu àti ìran rẹ̀) tí ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ Ejibiti: Reubeni àkọ́bí Jakọbu.

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.

Altogether there were 66 people who were Jacob’s descendants who went to Egypt with him. That number does not include his sons’ wives.

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 Jakọbu sì rán Juda ṣáájú rẹ̀ lọ sọ́dọ̀ Josẹfu, kí wọn bá à le mọ ọ̀nà Goṣeni. Nígbà tí wọ́n dé agbègbè Goṣeni,
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 Josẹfu tọ́jú kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin rẹ̀ ó sì lọ sí Goṣeni láti pàdé Israẹli baba rẹ̀. Bí Josẹfu ti dé iwájú baba rẹ̀, ó dì mọ́ baba rẹ̀ ó sì sọkún fún ìgbà pípẹ́.
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 Israẹli wí fún Josẹfu pé, “Wàyí o, mo le kú, níwọ̀n bí mo ti rí i fún ara mi pé, o wà láààyè síbẹ̀.”
Jacob said to Joseph, “I have seen you and I know that you are still alive! So now I am ready to die.”
31 Nígbà náà ni Josẹfu wí fún àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀ àti fún àwọn ará ilé baba rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi yóò gòkè lọ, èmi yóò sì bá Farao sọ̀rọ̀, èmi yóò sì wí fún un pé, ‘Àwọn arákùnrin mi àti ìdílé baba mi tí ń gbé ní Kenaani ti tọ̀ mí wá.
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 Darandaran ni àwọn ènìyàn náà, wọ́n ń tọ́jú ẹran ọ̀sìn, wọ́n sì kó agbo ẹran wọn àti agbo màlúù wọn àti gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n ní pẹ̀lú wá.’
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 Nígbà tí Farao bá pè yín wọlé tí ó sí béèrè irú iṣẹ́ tí ẹ ń ṣe,
When the king summons you and asks, ‘What work do you do?’

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.
