Yaratılış 46

¹İsrail, kendisi ve sahip olduğu her şeyle birlikte çadırlarını söküp yola çıktı; Yemin Kuyusu na varınca babası İshak ın Tanrısı na kurbanlar sundu.

²Tanrı gece görümünde İsrail e seslenip, “Yakup, Yakup!” dedi; o da, “Ne var, buradayım?” diye yanıt verdi.

³Tanrı ona, “Ben senin babalarının Tanrısı yım” dedi, “Mısır a inmekten korkma; çünkü seni orada büyük bir ulus yapacağım.

⁴Mısır a seninle birlikte ben de ineceğim ve seni oradan kesinlikle ve tamamen geri çıkaracağım; Yusuf un elleri senin gözlerini kapayacak.”

⁵Yakup Yemin Kuyusu ndan ayrıldı; İsrail in oğulları babaları Yakup u, ev eşyalarını ve karılarını, Yusuf un kendisini taşımak için gönderdiği arabalara bindirdiler.

⁶Mallarını ve Kenan ülkesinde edindikleri bütün mülkleri yanlarına alarak Mısır a gittiler; Yakup ve onunla birlikte olan tüm soyu oraya vardı.

⁷Oğullarını, torunlarını, kızlarını, kız torunlarını ve tüm soyunu kendisiyle birlikte Mısır a götürdü.

⁸Babaları Yakup ile birlikte Mısır a giden İsrail oğullarının adları şunlardır: Yakup ve oğulları; Yakup un ilk doğan oğlu Ruben.

⁹Ruben in oğulları: Enoh, Pallus, Asron ve Harmi.

¹⁰Simeon un oğulları: Jemuel, Jamin, Aod, Jahin, Saar ve Kenanlı kadının oğlu Saul.

¹⁶Gad ın oğulları: Safon, Aggis, Saunis, Tasoban, Aedis, Aroedis ve Areelis.

¹⁷Aşer in oğulları: Jemna, Jesua, Jeul, Baria ve kız kardeşleri Sara; Baria nın oğulları ise Hobor ve Melhiil idi.

¹⁸Bunlar Laban ın kızı Lea ya verdiği Zilpa nın Yakup a doğurduğu çocuklardır; toplam on altı candı.

¹⁹Yakup un karısı Rahel in oğulları: Yusuf ve Benyamin.

²⁰Mısır ülkesinde Yusuf un oğulları doğdu; Heliopolis kâhini Petephres in kızı Asennet ona Manasse ve Efraim i doğurdu. Manasse nin Suriyeli cariyesinden doğan oğlu Mahir idi ve Mahir den Galaad doğdu. Manasse nin kardeşi Efraim in oğulları ise Sutalaam ve Taam idi; Sutalaam ın oğlu da Edem idi.

²¹Benyamin in oğulları: Bala, Hobor ve Asbel; Bala nın oğulları Gera, Noeman, Anhis, Ros, Mamfim ve Ofimin idi; Gera dan da Arad doğdu.

²²Bunlar Rahel in Yakup a doğurduğu çocuklardır; hepsi on sekiz candı.

²³Dan ın oğulları: Asom.

²⁴Neftali nin oğulları: Asiel, Guni, Issaar ve Sillem.

²⁵Bunlar Laban ın kızı Rahel e verdiği Bilha nın Yakup a doğurduğu çocuklardır; hepsi yedi candı.

²⁶Yakup un kendi soyundan gelip onunla birlikte Mısır a gidenlerin tümü, Yakup un oğullarının karıları hariç, altmış altı candı.

²⁷Yusuf un Mısır da doğan oğulları dokuz candı; Yakup un ailesinden Mısır a gidenlerin tümü yetmiş beş candı.

²⁸Yakup, Rameses bölgesindeki Heroon kentine kendisini karşılaması için Yahuda yı önünden Yusuf a gönderdi.

²⁹Yusuf arabasını hazırlatıp babası İsrail i karşılamak üzere Heroon kentine doğru yola çıktı; babasıyla karşılaşınca boynuna sarıldı ve hıçkıra hıçkıra uzun uzun ağladı.

³⁰İsrail Yusuf a, “Yüzünü gördüm ya, senin hâlâ yaşadığını biliyorum ya, artık huzur içinde ölebilirim” dedi.

³¹Yusuf kardeşlerine ve babasının ev halkına şöyle dedi: “Yukarı çıkıp Firavun a haber vereyim ve ona diyeyim ki: ‘Kenan ülkesinde yaşayan kardeşlerim ve babamın ev halkı yanıma geldi.

³²Bu adamlar çobandır, hayvancılıkla uğraşırlar; davarlarını, sığırlarını ve her şeylerini yanlarında getirdiler.’

³³Firavun sizi çağırıp da, ‘Mesleğiniz nedir?’ diye sorarsa,

³⁴ona şöyle dersiniz: ‘Biz kulların, çocukluğumuzdan beri babalarımız gibi hayvancılıkla uğraşmaktayız.’ Böylece Arabistan ın Gesem bölgesine yerleşebilirsiniz; çünkü koyun çobanlığı yapmak Mısırlılar için bir iğrençliktir.”

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

²εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῷ ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐν ὁράματι τῆς νυκτός, εἰπών· ᾿Ιακώβ, ᾿Ιακώβ, ὁ δὲ εἶπε· τί ἐστιν;

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

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

⁵ἀνέστη δὲ ᾿Ιακὼβ ἀπὸ τοῦ φρέατος τοῦ ὅρκου, καὶ ἀνέλαβον οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τὰς ἁμάξας ἃς ἀπέστειλεν ᾿Ιωσὴφ ἆραι αὐτόν,

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

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

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

³⁰καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσήφ· ἀποθανοῦμαι ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν, ἐπεὶ ἑώρακα τὸ πρόσωπόν σου· ἔτι γὰρ σὺ ζῇς.

³¹εἶπε δὲ ᾿Ιωσὴφ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ· ἀναβὰς ἀπαγγελῶ τῷ Φαραὼ καὶ ἐρῶ αὐτῷ· οἱ ἀδελφοί μου καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός μου, οἳ ἦσαν ἐν γῇ Χαναάν, ἥκασι πρός με·

³²οἱ δὲ ἄνδρες εἰσὶ ποιμένες· ἄνδρες γὰρ κτηνοτρόφοι ἦσαν· καὶ τὰ κτήνη καὶ τοὺς βόας καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτῶν ἀγηόχασιν.

³³ἐὰν οὖν καλέσῃ ὑμᾶς Φαραὼ καὶ εἴπῃ ὑμῖν· τί τὸ ἔργον ὑμῶν ἐστίν;

³⁴ἐρεῖτε· ἄνδρες κτηνοτρόφοι ἐσμὲν οἱ παῖδές σου ἐκ παιδὸς ἕως τοῦ νῦν, καὶ ἡμεῖς καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν, ἵνα κατοικήσητε ἐν γῇ Γεσὲμ ᾿Αραβίας· βδέλυγμα γάρ ἐστιν Αἰγυπτίοις πᾶς ποιμὴν προβάτων.

¹AND 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.

²And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?

³And he says to him, I am the God of thy fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make thee there a great nation.

⁴And I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will bring thee up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on thine eyes.

⁵And 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.

⁶And 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.

⁷The 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.

⁸And these are the names of the sons of Israel that went into Egypt with their father Jacob-- Jacob and his sons. The first-born of Jacob, Ruben.

⁹And the sons of Ruben; Enoch, and Phallus, Asron, and Charmi.

¹⁴And the sons of Zabulun, Sered, and Allon, and Achoel.

¹⁵These [are] the sons of Lea, which she bore to Jacob in Mesopotamia of Syria, and Dina his daughter; all the souls, sons and daughters, thirty-three.

¹⁶And the sons of Gad; Saphon, and Angis, and Sainis, and Thasoban, and Aedis, and Aroedis, and Areelis.

¹⁷And the sons of Aser; Jemna, Jessua, and Jeul, and Baria, and Sara their sister. And the sons of Baria; Chobor, and Melchiil.

¹⁸These [are] the sons of Zelpha, which Laban gave to his daughter Lea, who bore these to Jacob, sixteen souls.

¹⁹And the sons of Rachel, the wife of Jacob; Joseph, and Benjamin.

²⁰And there were sons born to Joseph in the land of Egypt, whom Asenneth, the daughter of Petephres, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him, [even] Manasses and Ephraim. And there were sons born to Manasses, which the Syrian concubine bore to him, [even] Machir. And Machir begot Galaad. And the sons of Ephraim, the brother of Manasses; Sutalaam, and Taam. And the sons of Sutalaam; Edem.

²¹and the sons of Benjamin; Bala, and Chobor, and Asbel. And the sons of Bala were Gera, and Noeman, and Anchis, and Ros, and Mamphim, and Ophimin. Gera begot Arad.

²⁷And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in the land of Egypt, were nine souls; all the souls of the house of Jacob who came with Joseph into Egypt, were seventy-five souls.

²⁸And he sent Judas before him to Joseph, to meet him to the city of Heroes, into the land of Ramesses.

²⁹And Joseph having made ready his chariots, went up to meet Israel his father, at the city of Heroes; and having appeared to him, fell on his neck, and wept with abundant weeping.

³⁰And Israel said to Joseph, After this I will [gladly] die, since I have seen thy face, for thou art yet living.

³¹And Joseph said to his brethren, I will go up and tell Pharao, and will say to him, My brethren, and my father's house, who were in the land of Chanaan, are come to me.

³²And the men are shepherds; for they have been feeders of cattle, and they have brought with them their cattle, and their kine, and all their property.

³³If then Pharao call you, and say to you, What is your occupation?

³⁴Ye shall say, We thy servants are herdsmen from our youth until now, both we and our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Gesem of Arabia, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
