1 Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac. 2 God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, "Jacob, Jacob!"

He said, "Here I am."

3 He 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. 4 I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes."

5 Jacob 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. 6 They took their livestock, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt—Jacob, and all his offspring with him, 7 his sons, and his sons’ sons with him, his daughters, and his sons’ daughters, and he brought all his offspring with him into Egypt.

8 These are the names of the children of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn. 9 The sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13 The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Iob, and Shimron. 14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, with his daughter Dinah. All the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty-three. 16 The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli. 17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and Serah their sister. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel. 18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah, his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob, even sixteen souls. 19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife: Joseph and Benjamin. 20 To Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him. 21 The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard. 22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen. 23 The son of Dan: Hushim. 24 The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem. 25 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel, his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob: all the souls were seven. 26 All the souls who came with Jacob into Egypt, who were his direct offspring, in addition to Jacob’s sons’ wives, all the souls were sixty-six. 27 The sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, who came into Egypt, were seventy.

28 Jacob sent Judah before him to Joseph, to show the way before him to Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen. 29 Joseph 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. 30 Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive."

31 Joseph 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. 32 These men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock, and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.’ 33 It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say, ‘What is your occupation?’ 34 that 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."

1 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.

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

3 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:

4 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.

5 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.

6 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:

7 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.

8 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.

9 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.
