So Israel set out with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

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

God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “ Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.”

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:

He said, “ I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you a great nation there.

4 K a 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.

I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again; and Joseph will close your eyes.”

5 N a 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.

Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob and their little ones and their wives in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
