NAV — Ketab El Hayat (NAV)
Verse 1
So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
وَارْتَحَلَ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَكُلُّ مَالَهُ حَتَّى وَصَلَ إِلَى بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ، فَقَدَّمَ ذَبَائِحَ إِلَى إِلَهِ أَبِيهِ إِسْحاقَ.
Verse 2
And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, “Jacob! Jacob!”
“Here I am,” he replied.
وَقَالَ اللهُ لإِسْرَائِيلَ فِي رُؤَى اللَّيْلِ: «يَعْقُوبُ، يَعْقُوبُ». فَأَجَابَ: «هَا أَنَا»
Verse 3
“I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.
فَقَالَ: «أَنَا هُوَ اللهُ، إِلَهُ أَبِيكَ. لَا تَخَفْ مِنَ الذَّهَابِ إِلَى مِصْرَ لأَنِّي أَجْعَلُكَ أُمَّةً عَظِيمَةً هُنَاكَ.
Verse 4
I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.”
أَنَا أَصْحَبُكَ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَأَنَا أُرْجِعُكَ أَيْضاً، وَيُغْمِضُ يُوسُفُ أَجْفَانَكَ بِيَدَيْهِ عِنْدَ مَوْتِكَ».
Verse 5
Then Jacob left Beersheba, and Israel’s sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to transport him.
فَانْطَلَقَ يَعْقُوبُ مِنْ بِئْرِ سَبْعٍ. وَحَمَلَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَعْقُوبَ أَبَاهُمْ وَأَوْلادَهُمْ وَزَوْجَاتِهِمْ فِي الْعَرَبَاتِ الَّتِي أَرْسَلَهَا فِرْعَوْنُ لِنَقْلِهِ.
Verse 6
So Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt, taking with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in Canaan.
وَأَخَذُوا مَعَهُمْ مَوَاشِيَهُمْ وَمُقْتَنَيَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي اقْتَنَوْهَا فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ وَجَاءُوا جَمِيعاً إِلَى مِصْرَ،
Verse 7
Jacob brought with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring.
فَقَدْ صَحِبَ يَعْقُوبُ مَعَهُ إِلَى مِصْرَ أَبْنَاءَهُ وَأَحْفَادَهُ مِنْ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ، وَسَائِرَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ.

فَأَعَدَّ يُوسُفُ مَرْكَبَتَهُ وَصَعِدَ لِلِقَاءِ أَبِيهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي جَاسَانَ. وَمَا إِنْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى عَانَقَهُ يُوسُفُ وَبَكَى زَمَاناً طَوِيلاً.
Verse 30
Israel said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die, since I have seen for myself that you are still alive.”

Verse 31

وَخَاطَبَ يُوسُفُ إخْوَتَهُ وَبَيْتَ أَبِيهِ: «أَنَا مَاضٍ الآنَ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ لأُخْبِرَهُ أَنَّ إخْوَتِي وَبَيْتَ أَبِي الْمُقِيمِينَ فِي أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ قَدْ قَدِمُوا إِلَيَّ.
Verse 32
The men are shepherds; they tend livestock, and they have brought along their flocks and herds and everything they own.’
وَهُمْ رُعَاةُ غَنَمٍ، وَحِرْفَتُهُمْ رِعَايَةُ الْمَوَاشِي، لِذَلِكَ أَحْضَرُوا مَعَهُمْ غَنَمَهُمْ وَبَقَرَهُمْ وَكُلَّ مَالَهُمْ.
Verse 33
When Pharaoh calls you in and asks, ‘What is your occupation?’
فَإِذَا دَعَاكُمْ وَسَأَلَكُمْ: مَا حِرْفَتُكُمْ؟
Verse 34
you should answer, ‘Your servants have tended livestock from our boyhood on, just as our fathers did.’ Then you will be allowed to settle in the region of Goshen, for all shepherds are detestable to the Egyptians.”
قُولُوا: حِرْفَتُنَا رِعَايَةُ الْمَوَاشِي مُنْذُ صِبَانَا إِلَى الآنَ، كَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ وَهَكَذَا كَانَ آبَاؤُنَا جَمِيعاً. لِكَيْ تُقِيمُوا فِي أَرْضِ جَاسَانَ؛ لأَنَّ كُلَّ رَاعِي غَنَمٍ نَجِسٌ لَدَى الْمِصْرِيِّينَ».
