2Gasia, e da Gode esalebe ba:i. Gode da ema amane sia:i, “Ya:igobe! Ya:igobe!” E bu adole i, “Na wea!”And that night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” He said. “Here I am,” replied Jacob.

3Gode da amane sia:i, “Na da Gode, amo dia ada ea Gode. Di da Idibidi amoga masunu, mae beda:ma. Amogai, na digaga manolali ilima gasa bagade fi hamomu.“I am God,” He said, “the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.

4Na ani Idibidi sogega masunu. Fa:no digaga mano fi amo Na da Ga:ina:ne sogega guiguda: bu oule misunu. Di bogosea, Yousefe amola da dia bogosu ba:mu.”I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will surely bring you back. And Joseph’s own hands will close your eyes.”
