God's Assurance
1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
Akasafiri Israeli, pamoja na yote aliyokuwa nayo, akaja Beer-sheba, akamchinjia sadaka Mungu wa Isaka babaye.
2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
Mungu akanena na Israeli katika ndoto ya usiku, akasema, Yakobo, Yakobo. Akasema, Mimi hapa.
3 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:
Akasema, Mimi ni Mungu, Mungu wa baba yako, usiogope kushuka mpaka Misri; maana nitakufanya uwe taifa kubwa huko.
4 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.
Mimi nitashuka pamoja nawe mpaka Misri; nami nitakupandisha tena bila shaka; na Yusufu ataweka mkono wake juu ya macho yako.
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
Yakobo akaondoka kutoka Beer-sheba; wana wa Israeli wakamchukua baba yao na watoto wao wadogo, na wake zao katika magari aliyoyapeleka Farao ili kumchukua.
6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
Wakatwaa na wanyama wao, na mali zao walizokuwa wamezipata katika nchi ya Kanaani, wakaja Misri, Yakobo na uzao wake wote pamoja naye.
7 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
Wanawe, na wana wa wanawe, pamoja naye, binti zake na binti za wanawe, na uzao wake wote, aliwaleta pamoja naye mpaka Misri.

Jacob Goes to Egypt
28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
Yakobo akampeleka Yuda mbele yake kwa Yusufu, ili amwongoze njia mpaka Gosheni. Wakaja mpaka nchi ya Gosheni.
29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
Yusufu akatandika gari lake, akapanda kwenda kumlaki Israeli, babaye, huko Gosheni; akajionyesha kwake, akamwangukia shingoni, akalia shingoni mwake kitambo kizima.
30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
Israeli akamwambia Yusufu, Na nife sasa, kwa kuwa nimekuona uso wako, ya kuwa ungali hai.
31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
Yusufu akawaambia ndugu zake na watu wa nyumbani mwa baba yake, Nitapanda mimi nimpashe Farao habari; nitamwambia, Ndugu zangu, na watu wa nyumbani mwa baba yangu, waliokuwa katika nchi ya Kanaani, wamenijia.
32 and the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
Na watu hao ni wachungaji, maana wamekuwa watu wa kuchunga wanyama, nao wameleta kondoo zao, na ng'ombe zao, na yote waliyo nayo.
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
Itakuwa Farao atakapowaita, na kuwauliza, Kazi yenu ni nini?
34 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Semeni, Watumwa wako tumekuwa wachunga wanyama tangu ujana wetu, na hata leo, sisi, na baba zetu; mpate kukaa katika nchi ya Gosheni; maana kila mchunga wanyama ni chukizo kwa Wamisri.
