Genesis 46

Γένεσις

1 ΑΠΑΡΑΣ δὲ Ἰσραήλ, αὐτὸς καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸ φρέαρ τοῦ ὅρκου καὶ ἔθυσε θυσίαν τῷ Θεῷ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰσαάκ.

And Israel departed, he and all that he had, and came to the well of the oath; and he offered sacrifice to the God of his father Isaac.

2 εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτός, εἰπών· Ἰακώβ, Ἰακώβ, ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τί ἐστιν;

And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?

3 ὁ δὲ λέγει αὐτῷ· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σου· μὴ φοβοῦ καταβῆναι εἰς Αἴγυπτον· εἰς γὰρ ἔθνος μέγα ποιήσω σε ἐκεῖ,

And he says to him, I am the God of your fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make you there a great nation.

4 καὶ ἐγὼ καταβήσομαι μετὰ σοῦ εἰς Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναβιβάσω σε εἰς τέλος, καὶ Ἰωσὴφ ἐπιβαλεῖ τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου.

And I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will bring you up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on your eyes.

5 ἀνέστη δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου, καὶ ἀνέλαβον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰς ἁμάξας ἃς ἀπέστειλεν Ἰωσὴφ ἆραι αὐτόν,

And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath; and the sons of Israel took up their father, and the baggage, and their wives on the wagons, which Joseph sent to take them.

6 καὶ ἀναλαβόντες τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν κτῆσιν, ἣν ἐκτήσαντο ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, εἰσῆλθον εἰς Αἴγυπτον, Ἰακὼβ καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ,

And they took up their goods, and all their property, which they had gotten in the land of Chanaan; they came into the land of Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him.

7 υἱοὶ καὶ υἱοὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, θυγατέρες καὶ θυγατέρες τῶν θυγατέρων αὐτοῦ· καὶ πᾶν τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἤγαγεν εἰς Αἴγυπτον.

The sons, and the sons of his sons with him; [his] daughters, and the daughters of his daughters; and he brought all his seed into Egypt.

8 Ταῦτα δὲ τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ τῶν εἰσελθόντων εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἅμα Ἰακὼβ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῶν. Ἰακὼβ καὶ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ· πρωτότοκος Ἰακὼβ Ρουβήν.
