46  Na ka turia e Iharaira me ana mea katoa, a ka tae ki Peerehepa, a ka patua e ia etahi patunga tapu ma te Atua o tona papa, o Ihaka.

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

A 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:

Ka 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.

Na ka whakatika atu a Hakopa i Peerehepa, a ka kawea a Hakopa, to ratou papa, e nga tama a Iharaira, me a ratou tamariki, me a ratou wahine, i runga i nga kaata i tukua mai e Parao hei tiki atu i a ia.

I kawea ano e ratou a ratou kararehe, me a ratou taonga i whiwhi ai ki te whenua o Kanaana, a haere ana ki Ihipa a Hakopa ratou tahi ko ona uri katoa:

Ko ana tama, ko nga tama hoki a ana tana: ko ana tamahine, me nga tamahine a ana tama, me ona uri katoa i kawea e ia ki Ihipa.

Na ko nga ingoa enei o nga tama a Iharaira, i haere nei ki Ihipa, ko Hakopa ratou ko ana tama: ko Reupena, matamua a Hakopa.

Ko nga tama a Reupena; ko Hanoka, ko Paru, ko Heterono, ko Karami.

10 Ko nga tama a Himiona; ko Iemuere, ko Iamini, ko Ohara, ko Iakini, ko Tohara, ratou ko Hauru, ko te tama a tetahi wahine Kanaani.

11 Ko nga tama a Riwai ko Kerehona, ko Kohata, ko Merari.

12 Ko nga tama a hura; ko Ere, ko Onana, ko Heraha, ko Parete, ko Taraha: ko Ere ia raua ko Onana i mate ki te whenua o Kanaana. Ko nga tama a Parete, ko Heterono raua ko Hamuru.

13 Ko nga tama a Ihakara; ko Tora, ko Puwa, ko Hopa, ko Himirono.

14 Ko nga tama a Hepurona; ko Herete, ko Erono, ko Iahateere.

15 Ko nga tama enei a Rea, i whanau nei i a raua ko Hakopa ki Paranaarama, ratou ko tana tamahine, ko Rina: e toru tekau ma toru nga wairua katoa o ana tama, o ana tamahine.

16 Ko nga tama a Kara; ko Hipiona, ko Haki, ko Huni, ko Etepono, ko Eri, ko Arori, ko Areri.

17 Ko nga tama a Ahera; ko Imina, ko Ihua, ko Ihui, ko Peria, ratou ko Hera, ko to ratou tuahine; ko nga tama a Peria, ko Hepere raua ko Marakiere.

18 Ko nga tama enei a Tiripa, a tera i homai nei e Rapana ki a Rea, ki tana tamahine, i whanau nei i a raua ko Hakopa; kotahi tekau ma ono wairua.

19 Ko nga tama a Rahera, wahine a Hakopa; ko Hohepa raua ko Pineamine.

20 A whanau ake a Hohepa i te whenua o Ihipa, ko Manahi raua ko Eparaima, he whanau enei na raua ko Ahenata, tamahine a Potiwhera tohunga o Ono.

21 Ko nga tama a Pineamine; ko Peraha, ko Pekere, ko Ahapere, ko Kera, ko Naamana, ko Ehi, ko Roho, ko Mupimi, ko Hupimi, ko Arare.

22 Ko nga tama enei a Rahera, i whanau nei ma Hakopa: ko nga wairua katoa kotahi tekau ma wha.

23 Ko nga tama a Rana; ko Huhimi.

24 Ko nga tama a Napatari; ko Iahateere, ko Kuni, ko Ietere, ko Hireme.

25 Ko nga tama enei a Piriha, a tera i homai nei e Rapana ki tana tamahine, ki a Rahera, a whanau ake enei i a raua ko Hakopa: e whitu aua wairua katoa.

26 Ko nga wairua katoa i haere tahi nei i a Hakopa ki Ihipa, i puta mai nei i roto i tona hope, e ono tekau ma ono nga wairua katoa; haunga nga wahine a nga tama a Hakopa.

27 Ko nga tama a Hohepa, i whanau nei mana ki Ihipa, e rua nga wairua: e whitu tekau nga wairua katoa o te whare o Hakopa i haere nei ki Ihipa.

28 Na ka tonoa e ia a Hura ki mua i a ia, ki a Hohepa, hei arahi i a ia ki Kohena; a ka tae ratou ki te whenua o Kohena.

29 Na ka whakanohoia e Hohepa tona hariata, a haere ana ki te whakatau i tona papa, i a Iharaira, ki Kohena, a ka tae atu ki tona aroaro; na ka hinga ia ki runga ki tona kaki, a he roa tana tangihanga i runga i tona kaki.

30 Na ka mea a Iharaira ki a Hohepa, He pai ki te mate ahau aianei, noku hoki ka kite i tou mata, no te mea e ora ana ano koe.

31 Na ka mea a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, ki te whare ano hoki o tona papa, Ka haere ahau ki runga, ki te korero ki a Parao, ki te mea ki a ia, Kua tae mai ki ahau oku tuakana, me te whare o toku papa, i noho ra i te whenua o Kanaana;

32 Na he hepara aua tangata, he hunga whangai kararehe ratou; kua kawea mai ano e ratou a ratou kahui, a ratou kau, me a ratou mea katoa.

33 A, ka karanga a Parao i a koutou, ka mea, He aha ta koutou mahi?

34 Me ki atu e koutou, He hunga whangai kararehe au pononga, o to matou taitamarikitanga ake a mohoa noa nei, matou, me o matou matua: kia noho ai koutou ki te whenua o Kohena; no te mea hoki he mea whakarihariha ki nga Ihipiana nga hepara katoa.

Jacob Goes to Egypt

46 So Israel(A) set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba,(B) he offered sacrifices(C) to the God of his father Isaac.(D)

And God spoke to Israel(E) in a vision at night(F) and said, “Jacob! Jacob!”

“Here I am,”(G) he replied.

“I am God, the God of your father,”(H) he said. “Do not be afraid(I) to go down to Egypt,(J) for I will make you into a great nation(K) there.(L) I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again.(M) And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.(N)

Then Jacob left Beersheba,(O) and Israel’s(P) sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts(Q) that Pharaoh had sent to transport him. So Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt,(R) taking with them their livestock and the possessions(S) they had acquired(T) in Canaan. Jacob brought with him to Egypt(U) his sons and grandsons and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.(V)

These are the names of the sons of Israel(W) (Jacob and his descendants) who went to Egypt:

Reuben the firstborn(X) of Jacob.

The sons of Reuben:(Y)

14 The sons of Zebulun:(AT)

15 These were the sons Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram,[c](AU) besides his daughter Dinah.(AV) These sons and daughters of his were thirty-three in all.

16 The sons of Gad:(AW)

Zephon,[d](AX) Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli.

17 The sons of Asher:(AY)

Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi and Beriah.

Their sister was Serah.

The sons of Beriah:

Heber and Malkiel.

18 These were the children born to Jacob by Zilpah,(AZ) whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah(BA)—sixteen in all.

19 The sons of Jacob’s wife Rachel:(BB)

Joseph and Benjamin.(BC) 20 In Egypt, Manasseh(BD) and Ephraim(BE) were born to Joseph(BF) by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.[e](BG)

21 The sons of Benjamin:(BH)

Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard.(BI)

22 These were the sons of Rachel(BJ) who were born to Jacob—fourteen in all.

23 The son of Dan:(BK)

24 The sons of Naphtali:(BM)

Jahziel, Guni, Jezer and Shillem.

25 These were the sons born to Jacob by Bilhah,(BN) whom Laban had given to his daughter Rachel(BO)—seven in all.

26 All those who went to Egypt with Jacob—those who were his direct descendants, not counting his sons’ wives—numbered sixty-six persons.(BP) 27 With the two sons[f] who had been born to Joseph in Egypt,(BQ) the members of Jacob’s family, which went to Egypt, were seventy[g] in all.(BR)

28 Now Jacob sent Judah(BS) ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen.(BT) When they arrived in the region of Goshen, 29 Joseph had his chariot(BU) made ready and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel.(BV) As soon as Joseph appeared before him, he threw his arms around his father[h] and wept(BW) for a long time.(BX)

30 Israel(BY) said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die, since I have seen for myself that you are still alive.”(BZ)

31 Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s household, “I will go up and speak to Pharaoh and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father’s household, who were living in the land of Canaan,(CA) have come to me.(CB) 32 The men are shepherds;(CC) they tend livestock,(CD) and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’(CE) 33 When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’(CF) 34 you should answer, ‘Your servants(CG) have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.’(CH) Then you will be allowed to settle(CI) in the region of Goshen,(CJ) for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.(CK)

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:

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.
