Genesis 46

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Israel set out with all that was his. When he arrived at Beer-sheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.	1 Profectusque Israel cum omnibus, quae habebat, venit Bersabee et, mactatis ibi victimis Deo patris sui Isaac,
2 There God, speaking to Israel in a vision by night, called, "Jacob! Jacob!" "Here I am," he answered.	2 audivit eum per visionem noctis vocantem se: “ Iacob, Iacob! ”. Cui respondit: “ Ecce adsum! ”.
3 Then he said: "I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you a great nation.	3 Ait illi: “ Ego sum Deus, Deus patris tui. Noli timere descendere in Aegyptum, quia in gentem magnam faciam te ibi.
4 Not only will I go down to Egypt with you; I will also bring you back here, after Joseph has closed your eyes."	4 Ego descendam tecum illuc et ego inde adducam te revertentem; Ioseph quoque ponet manus suas super oculos tuos ”.
5 So Jacob departed from Beer-sheba, and the sons of Israel put their father and their wives and children on the wagons that Pharaoh had sent for his transport.	5 Surrexit igitur Iacob a Bersabee, tuleruntque eum filii cum parvulis et uxoribus suis in plaustris, quae miserat pharao ad portandum senem,
6 They took with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan. Thus Jacob and all his descendants migrated to Egypt.	6 sumpserunt quoque omnia, quae possederant in terra Chanaan; veneruntque in Aegyptum Iacob et omne semen eius,
7 His sons and his grandsons, his daughters and his granddaughters--all his descendants--he took with him to Egypt.	7 filii eius et nepotes, filiae et cuncta simul progenies.
8 These are the names of the Israelites, Jacob and his descendants, who migrated to Egypt. Reuben, Jacob's first-born,	8 Haec sunt autem nomina filiorum Israel, qui ingressi sunt in Aegyptum, ipse cum liberis suis. Primogenitus Ruben.
9 and the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.	9 Filii Ruben: Henoch et Phallu et Hesron et Charmi.
10 The sons of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, son of a Canaanite woman.	10 Filii Simeon: Iamuel et Iamin et Ahod et Iachin et Sohar et Saul filius Chananitidis.
11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.	11 Filii Levi: Gerson et Caath et Merari.
12 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah--but Er and Onan had died in the land of Canaan; and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.	12 Filii Iudae: Her et Onan et Sela et Phares et Zara. Mortui sunt autem Her et Onan in terra Chanaan. Natique sunt filii Phares: Esrom et Hamul.
13 The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puah, Jashub, and Shimron.	13 Filii Issachar: Thola et Phua et Iasub et Semron.
14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.	14 Filii Zabulon: Sared et Elon et Iahelel.
15 These were the sons whom Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, along with his daughter Dinah--thirty-three persons in all, male and female.	15 Hi filii Liae, quos genuit in Paddanaram, cum Dina filia sua. Omnes animae filiorum eius et filiarum triginta tres.
16 The sons of Gad: Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arod, and Areli.	16 Filii Gad: Sephon et Haggi, Suni et Esebon, Heri et Arodi et Areli.
17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, and Beriah, with their sister Serah; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.	17 Filii Aser: Iemna et lesua et Isui et Beria, Sara quoque soror eorum. Filii Beria: Heber et Melchiel.
18 These were the descendants of Zilpah, whom Laban had given to his daughter Leah; these she bore to Jacob--sixteen persons in all.	18 Hi filii Zelphae, quam dedit Laban Liae filiae suae; et hos genuit Iacob: sedecim animas.
19 The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.	19 Filii Rachel uxoris Iacob: Ioseph et Beniamin.
20 In the land of Egypt Joseph became the father of Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of Heliopolis, bore to him.	20 Natique sunt Ioseph filii in terra Aegypti, quos genuit ei Aseneth filia Putiphare sacerdotis Heliopoleos: Manasses et Ephraim.
21 The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ahiram, Shupham, Hupham, and Ard.	21 Filii Beniamin: Bela et Bochor et Asbel, Gera et Naaman et Echi et Ros, Mophim et Huphim et Ared.
22 These were the sons whom Rachel bore to Jacob--fourteen persons in all.	22 Hi filii Rachel, quos genuit Iacob: omnes animae quattuordecim.

26 Jacob's people who migrated to Egypt--his direct descendants, not counting the wives of Jacob's sons--numbered sixty-six persons in all.	26 Cunctae animae, quae ingressae sunt cum Iacob in Aegyptum et egressae de femore illius, absque uxoribus filiorum eius, sexaginta sex.
27 Together with Joseph's sons who were born to him in Egypt--two persons--all the people comprising Jacob's family who had come to Egypt amounted to seventy persons in all.	27 Filii autem Ioseph, qui nati sunt ei in terra Aegypti, animae duae. Omnes animae domus Iacob, quae ingressae sunt in Aegyptum, fuere septuaginta.
28 Israel had sent Judah ahead to Joseph, so that he might meet him in Goshen. On his arrival in the region of Goshen,	28 Misit autem Iudam ante se ad Ioseph, ut nuntiaret et occurreret in Gessen.
29 Joseph hitched the horses to his chariot and rode to meet his father Israel in Goshen. As soon as he saw him, he flung himself on his neck and wept a long time in his arms.	29 Et venerunt in terram Gessen. Iunctoque Ioseph curru suo, ascendit obviam patri suo in Gessen; vidensque eum irruit super collum eius et inter amplexus diu flevit.
30 And Israel said to Joseph, "At last I can die, now that I have seen for myself that Joseph is still alive."	30 Dixitque Israel ad Ioseph: “ Iam laetus moriar, quia vidi faciem tuam et superstitem te relinquo ”.
31 Joseph then said to his brothers and his father's household: "I will go and inform Pharaoh, telling him: 'My brothers and my father's household, whose home is in the land of Canaan, have come to me.	31 Et ille locutus est ad fratres suos et ad omnem domum patris sui: “ Ascendam et nuntiabo pharaoni dicamque ei: Fratres mei et domus patris mei, qui erant in terra Chanaan, venerunt ad me.
32 The men are shepherds, having long been keepers of livestock; and they have brought with them their flocks and herds, as well as everything else they own.'	32 Et sunt viri pastores ovium curamque habent alendorum gregum; pecora sua et armenta et omnia, quae habere potuerunt, adduxerunt secum.
33 So when Pharaoh summons you and asks what your occupation is,	33 Cumque vocaverit vos et dixerit: "Quod est opus vestrum?".
34 you must answer, 'We your servants, like our ancestors, have been keepers of livestock from the beginning until now,' in order that you may stay in the region of Goshen, since all shepherds are abhorrent to the Egyptians."	34 Respondebitis: "Viri pastores sumus servi tui ab infantia nostra usque in praesens et nos et patres nostri". Haec autem dicetis, ut habitare possitis in terra Gessen, quia detestantur Aegyptii omnes pastores ovium ”.
