1Yakub mengemasi segala miliknya lalu berangkat. Sampai di Bersyeba ia mempersembahkan kurban kepada Allah yang dipuja oleh Ishak ayahnya.
1Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.
2Dalam suatu penglihatan pada waktu malam, Allah berkata kepadanya, "Yakub, Yakub!" "Ya, Tuhan," jawabnya.
2God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He said, “Here I am.”
3"Aku Allah, Allah yang dipuja ayahmu," katanya. "Jangan takut untuk pergi ke Mesir. Aku akan menjadikan keturunanmu bangsa yang besar di sana.
3He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
4Aku akan menyertai engkau ke Mesir, dan membawa keturunanmu kembali ke negeri ini. Yusuf akan ada di sampingmu apabila ajalmu tiba."
4I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph will close your eyes.”
5Lalu berangkatlah Yakub dari Bersyeba. Anak-anaknya menaikkan ayah mereka serta anak-istri mereka ke atas kereta yang dikirimkan raja Mesir.
5Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob, their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
6Mereka juga membawa ternak dan segala harta benda yang telah mereka peroleh di Kanaan, lalu berangkat ke Mesir. Yakub membawa seluruh keturunannya, yaitu

28Yakub menyuruh Yehuda berjalan mendahuluinya untuk memanggil Yusuf supaya menemui ayahnya di Gosyen. Ketika mereka sampai di Gosyen,
28He sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show the way before him to Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen.
29Yusuf naik keretanya untuk bertemu dengan ayahnya di situ. Waktu mereka berjumpa, Yusuf memeluk ayahnya dan lama menangis.
29Joseph prepared his chariot, and went up to meet Israel, his father, in Goshen. He presented himself to him, and fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
30Kata Yakub kepada Yusuf, "Sekarang aku rela mati, karena sudah melihat engkau dan tahu bahwa engkau masih hidup."
30Israel said to Joseph, “Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive.”
31Lalu kata Yusuf kepada saudara-saudaranya dan sanak saudaranya yang lain, "Saya harus pergi dan memberitahukan kepada raja bahwa saudara-saudara saya dan seluruh sanak saudara saya yang tinggal di Kanaan telah datang.
31Joseph said to his brothers, and to his father’s house, “I will go up, and speak with Pharaoh, and will tell him, ‘My brothers, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
32Saya akan mengatakan bahwa kalian gembala-gembala domba dan sapi, dan telah membawa ternakmu dan segala milikmu.
32These men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.’
33Jika raja memanggil kalian dan menanyakan pekerjaanmu,
33It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say, ‘What is your occupation?’
34katakanlah kepadanya bahwa kalian ini pemelihara ternak sejak kecil, sama seperti leluhurmu. Dengan demikian ia akan menyuruh kalian tinggal di daerah Gosyen." Yusuf mengatakan hal itu karena orang Mesir merasa hina untuk bergaul dengan gembala-gembala.
34that you shall say, ‘Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we, and our fathers:’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”
