²Na ka korero moemoea te Atua ki a Iharaira i te po, ka mea, E Hakopa, e Hakopa. A ka mea ia, Tenei ahau.

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.

³A ka mea ia, Ko te Atua ahau, ko te Atua o tou papa: kaua e wehi ki te haere ki raro, ki Ihipa; ka meinga hoki koe e ahau hei iwi nui ki reira:

⁴I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph will close your eyes.”

⁴Ka haere tahi ahau i a koe ki raro, ki Ihipa; maku ano koe e whakahoki mai ki runga nei: a ma te ringa o Hohepa e pehi ou kanohi.
