Ang Pag-adto ni Jacob sa Ehipto

46 Miadto si Jacob[a] sa Ehipto uban sa iyang panimalay, dala ang tanan niyang kabtangan. Sa pag-abot niya sa Beersheba, naghalad siya ngadto sa Dios sa iyang amahan nga si Isaac. Nianang pagkagabii, nakigsulti ang Dios kaniya pinaagi sa usa ka panan-awon. Gitawag sa Dios si Jacob, ug mitubag siya. Unya miingon ang Dios, “Ako ang Dios, nga mao ang Dios sa imong amahan. Ayaw kahadlok nga moadto sa Ehipto, kay himuon ko kamo didto nga usa ka dako nga nasod. Mouban ako mismo kanimo sa pag-adto sa Ehipto ug dad-on ko usab ikaw pagbalik[b] sa Canaan. Ug mamatay ka nga anaa si Jose sa imong kiliran.”

Gipasakay si Jacob sa iyang mga anak sa karwahe nga gihatag sa hari sa Ehipto[c] para ilang sakyan. Gipasakay usab nila ang ilang mga asawa ug mga anak, ug migikan sila sa Beersheba. 6-7 Gidala nila ang mga kahayopan ug kabtangan nga natigom nila didto sa Canaan. Gidala usab ni Jacob sa Ehipto ang tanan niyang kaliwatan: ang iyang mga anak ug mga apo.

Mao kini ang mga ngalan sa mga kaliwat nga lalaki ni Israel (nga mao usab si Jacob) nga miadto sa Ehipto:

si Reuben, nga kamagulangang anak ni Jacob, ug ang iyang mga anak nga sila si Hanoc, Palu, Hezron, ug Carmi;

10 si Simeon ug ang iyang mga anak nga sila si Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar, ug si Shaul nga iyang anak sa babaye nga Canaanhon;

11 si Levi ug ang iyang mga anak nga sila si Gershon, Kohat, ug Merari;

12 si Juda ug ang iyang mga anak nga sila si Er, Onan, Shela, Perez, ug Zera (apan si Er ug si Onan namatay didto sa Canaan), ug ang mga anak ni Perez nga si Hezron ug si Hamul;

13 si Isacar ug ang iyang mga anak nga sila si Tola, Pua,[d] Jashub,[e] ug Shimron;

14 si Zebulun ug ang iyang mga anak nga sila si Sered, Elon, ug Jalel.

15 Mao kini sila ang 33 ka mga anak ug mga apo ni Jacob kang Lea nga natawo sa Padan Aram, walay labot ang iyang anak nga babaye nga si Dina.

16 Miuban usab sa Ehipto:

si Gad ug ang iyang mga anak nga sila si Zefon,[f] Hagi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, ug Areli;

17 si Asher ug ang iyang mga anak nga sila si Imna, Ishva, Ishvi, Beria, ug ang igsoon nila nga babaye nga si Sera, ug ang mga anak ni Beria nga sila si Heber ug si Malkiel.

18 Mao kini sila ang 16 ka mga anak ug mga apo ni Jacob kang Zilpa, ang sulugoon nga gihatag ni Laban kang Lea.

19 Ang mga anak ni Jacob kang Raquel mao si Jose ug si Benjamin.

20 Ang mga anak ni Jose kang Asenat nga natawo sa Ehipto mao si Manase ug si Efraim. (Si Asenat anak nga babaye ni Potifera nga pari sa lungsod sa On.)

21 Miuban usab sa Ehipto:

si Benjamin ug ang iyang mga anak nga sila si Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Ros, Mupim, Hupim, ug Ard.

22 Mao kini sila ang 14 ka mga anak ug mga apo ni Jacob kang Raquel.

23 Miuban usab sa Ehipto:

si Dan ug ang iyang anak nga si Hushim;

24 si Naftali ug ang iyang mga anak nga sila si Jazeel, Guni, Jezer, ug Shilem.

25 Mao kini sila ang 7 ka mga anak ug mga apo ni Jacob kang Bilha, ang sulugoon nga gihatag ni Laban kang Raquel.

26 Ang mga anak ug mga apo ni Jacob nga miadto sa Ehipto 66 tanan, ug wala pay labot ang mga asawa sa iyang mga anak. 27 Lakip ang mga anak ni Jose nga natawo sa Ehipto, 70 ang tanan nga miyembro sa panimalay ni Jacob nga natigom sa Ehipto.

28 Gipauna ni Jacob si Juda ngadto kang Jose aron magiyahan sila ngadto sa Goshen. Sa nagkaduol na sila si Jacob sa Goshen, 29 misakay si Jose sa iyang karwahe ug miadto aron sa pagsugat sa iyang amahan. Sa ilang pagkita, gigakos ni Jose ang iyang amahan ug nagsige kinig hilak. 30 Miingon si Jacob kang Jose, “Karon andam na ako nga mamatay tungod kay nakita ko na ikaw nga buhi.”

31 Unya miingon si Jose sa iyang mga igsoon ug sa tibuok nga panimalay sa iyang amahan, “Molakaw ako ug sultihan ko ang hari sa Ehipto nga ania na ang akong mga igsoon ug ang tibuok nga panimalay sa akong amahan nga gikan sa Canaan. 32 Ingnon ko siya nga kamo mga magbalantay sa mga kahayopan, ug gidala pa gani ninyo ang inyong mga kahayopan ug ang tanan ninyong kabtangan. 33 Busa kon ipatawag niya kamo ug pangutan-on kon unsa ang inyong trabaho, 34 ingna siya nga sama sa inyong mga ginikanan, magbalantay usab kamo sa kahayopan sukad pa niadtong gagmay pa kamo, aron sa ingon papuy-on niya kamo sa Goshen. Kay ubos ang pagtan-aw sa mga taga-Ehipto sa mga magbalantay ug kahayopan.”

46 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.

And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

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:

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.

And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: 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.

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:

His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.

And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.

And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.

14 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.

20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.

27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.

28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.

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.

30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.

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;

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.

33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?

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.

Jacob’s Journey to Egypt(A)

46 So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to (B)Beersheba, and offered sacrifices (C)to the God of his father Isaac. Then God spoke to Israel (D)in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!”

And he said, “Here I am.”

So He said, “I am God, (E)the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will (F)make of you a great nation there. (G)I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely (H)bring you up again; and (I)Joseph [a]will put his hand on your eyes.”

Then (J)Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little ones, and their wives, in the [b]carts (K)which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. So they took their livestock and their goods, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to Egypt, (L)Jacob and all his descendants with him. His sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his descendants he brought with him to Egypt.

Now (M)these were the names of the children of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: (N)Reuben was Jacob’s firstborn. The (O)sons of Reuben were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 10 (P)The sons of Simeon were [c]Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, [d]Jachin, [e]Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 The sons of (Q)Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12 The sons of (R)Judah were (S)Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). (T)The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13 The sons of Issachar were Tola, [f]Puvah, [g]Job, and Shimron. 14 The (U)sons of Zebulun were Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These were the (V)sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Padan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the persons, his sons and his daughters, were thirty-three.

16 The sons of Gad were [h]Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, [i]Ezbon, Eri, [j]Arodi, and Areli. 17 (W)The sons of Asher were Jimnah, Ishuah, Isui, Beriah, and Serah, their sister. And the sons of Beriah were Heber and Malchiel. 18 (X)These were the sons of Zilpah, (Y)whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob: sixteen persons.

19 The (Z)sons of Rachel, (AA)Jacob’s wife, were Joseph and Benjamin. 20 (AB)And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. 21 (AC)The sons of Benjamin were Belah, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, (AD)Ehi, Rosh, (AE)Muppim, [k]Huppim, and Ard. 22 These were the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: fourteen persons in all.

23 The son of Dan was [l]Hushim. 24 (AF)The sons of Naphtali were [m]Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and [n]Shillem. 25 (AG)These were the sons of Bilhah, (AH)whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob: seven persons in all.

26 (AI)All the persons who went with Jacob to Egypt, who came from his body, (AJ)besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, were sixty-six persons in all. 27 And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two persons. (AK)All the persons of the house of Jacob who went to Egypt were seventy.

Jacob Settles in Goshen

28 Then he sent Judah before him to Joseph, (AL)to point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came (AM)to the land of Goshen. 29 So Joseph made ready his (AN)chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; and he presented himself to him, and (AO)fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.

30 And Israel said to Joseph, (AP)“Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are still alive.”

31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, (AQ)“I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and those of my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. 32 And the men are (AR)shepherds, for their occupation has been to feed livestock; and they have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.’ 33 So it shall be, when Pharaoh calls you and says, (AS)‘What is your occupation?’ 34 that you shall say, ‘Your servants’ (AT)occupation has been with livestock (AU)from our youth even till now, both we and also our fathers,’ that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is (AV)an[o] abomination to the Egyptians.”
