< Genesis 43 >
1 Now the land was in bitter need of food.
A OKI loa iho la ka aina i ka wi.
2 And when the grain which they had got in Egypt was all used up, their father said to them, Go again and get us a little food.
A pau i ka aiia e lakou ka ai a lakou i lawe mai ai, mai Aigupita mai, olelo mai la ko lakou makuakane ia lakou, O hele hou oukou, e kuai i wahi ai iki na kakou.
3 And Judah said to him, The man said to us with an oath, You are not to come before me again without your brother.
A olelo aku la o Iuda ia ia, i aku la, Ua olelo ikaika mai ua kanaka la ia makou, ua i mai, Aole oukou e ike i kuu maka, ke hele ole mai ko oukou kaikaina me oukou.
4 If you will let our brother go with us, we will go down and get food:
A i hoouna oe i ko makou kaikaina me makou, alaila, hele aku makou ilalo, e kuai i ai nau.
5 But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You are not to come before me if your brother is not with you.
Aka, i hoouna ole oe ia ia, aole makou e hele aku ilalo, no ka mea, ua olelo mai ua kanaka la ia makou, Aole oukou e ike i kuu maka, ke hele ole mai ko oukou kaikaina me oukou.
6 And Israel said, Why were you so cruel to me as to say to him that you had a brother?
Olelo mai la o Iseraela, No ke aha la onkou i hana ino mai ai ia'u, i ka hai aku i ua kanaka la i ko oukou kaikaina?
7 And they said, The man put a number of questions to us about ourselves and our family, saying, Is your father still living? have you another brother? And we had to give him answers; how were we to have any idea that he would say, Come back with your brother?
Olelo aku la lakou, I ninau ikaika mai no ua kanaka la ia makou, i ko makou hoahanau, i mai la, Ke ola la no anei ko oukou makuakane? He kaikaina e anei, ko oukou? A hai aku la makou ia ia ma ke ano o keia mau olelo. Ua ike pono anei makou, e i mai ana ia, E lawe mai ilalo nei i ko oukou kaikaina?
8 Then Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the boy with me, and let us be up and going, so that we and you and our little ones may not come to destruction.
Olelo aku la o Iuda ia Iseraela i kona makuakane, E kuu mai oe i ke keiki me au, alaila ku ae makou e hele aku; i ola kakou; aole e make o makou, a o oe, a me ka kakou poe kamalii.
9 Put him into my care and make me responsible for him: if I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.
Owau no ka panai nona; ma ko'u lima, e imi mai oe ia ia; i hoihoi ole mai au ia ia iou la, a e hoonoho ia ia mamua ou, no'u mau loa aku no ka hewa.
10 Truly, if we had not let the time go by, we might have come back again by now.
Ina aole makou i hookaulua, ina ua hoi hou mai makou, mai ka lua o ka hele ana.
11 Then their father Israel said to them, If it has to be so, then do this: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels to give the man, perfumes and honey and spices and nuts:
Olelo aku la ko lakou makuakane o Iseraela ia lakou, Ina pela mai, e hana i keia; e ahu i ko ka aina hua maikai iloko o ka oukou mau eke, a e lawe aku ilalo i makana na ua kanaka la; i wahi bama iki, a i wahi meli iki, a i mea ala kahi, a me ka mura, a i hua pisetakia, a i alemona.
12 And take twice as much money with you; that is to say, take back the money which was put in your bags, for it may have been an error;
A e papalua i na kala ma ko oukou lima; a o ke kala i hoihoiia mai, maloko o ka waha o ka oukou mau eke, e halihali hou aku oukou ia mea, i ko oukou mau lima; malia paha, aole i ikeia.
13 And take your brother and go back to the man:
E lawe aku hoi oukou i ko oukou kaikaina, a e ku nui iluna, e hele hou aku i ua kanaka la.
14 And may God, the Ruler of all, give you mercy before the man, so that he may give you back your other brother and Benjamin. If my children are to be taken from me; there is no help for it.
A na ke Akua mana loa e haawi mai ke aloha no oukou mamua o ua kanaka la, i kuu mai ia i kela hoahanau o oukou, a ia Beniamina hoi A i nele au i kuu mau keiki, ua nele au.
15 So they took what their father said for the man, and twice as much money in their hands, and Benjamin, and went on their journey to Egypt, and came before Joseph.
Lawe ae la na kanaka i ua makana la, a lawe papalua no hoi lakou i ke kala ma ko lakou lima, a ia Beniamina hoi; ku ae la lakou, a hele aku la ilalo i Aigupita, a ku aku la imua o Iosepa.
16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin, he said to his chief servant, Take these men into my house, and make ready a meal, for they will take food with me in the middle of the day.
A ike mai la o Iosepa ia Beniamina me lakou, olelo ae la ia i ka luna o kona hale, E alakai oe i keia poe kanaka i ka hale, e kalua i holoholona, a e hoomakaukau hoi; no ka mea, e ai pu keia poe kanaka me au i ke awakea.
17 And the servant did as Joseph said, and took the men into Joseph's house.
Hana mai la ke kanaka e like me ka Iosepa olelo ana ae; a alakai aku la ia i ua poe kanaka la, iloko o ka hale o Iosepa.
18 Now the men were full of fear because they had been taken into Joseph's house and they said, It is because of the money which was put back in our bags the first time; he is looking for something against us, so that he may come down on us and take us and our asses for his use.
Makau iho la ua poe kanaka la, no ka mea, ua alakaiia'ku la lakou iloko o ka hale o Iosepa, a olelo ae la lakou, No ka moni i hoihoiia'i iloko o ka kakou mau eke i ka manawa mamua, nolaila kakou i alakaiia mai ai iloko nei, i hoolawehala mai oia ia kakou a lele mai iluna o kakou, a e hana paa hoi ia kakou, i poe kauwa, a me ko kakou mau hoki.
19 So they went up to Joseph's chief servant at the door of the house,
Hookokoke aku la lakou i ka luna o ko Iosepa hale, a kamailio pu lakou me ia ma ka puka o ka hale;
20 And said, O my lord, we only came down the first time to get food;
I aku la lakou, E kuu haku e, i ko makou hele ana mai mamua, ua hele mai makou e kuai i ai.
21 And when we came to our night's resting-place, on opening our bags we saw that every man's money was in the mouth of his bag, all our money in full weight: and we have it with us to give it back;
A hiki aku la makou i kahi oioina, wehe ae la makou i ka makou mau eke, aia hoi ka moni a pau a makou iloko o ka waha o na eke a makou. A ua halihali hou mai makou ia mea ma ko makou mau lima.
22 As well as more money, with which to get food: we have no idea who put our money in our bags.
A ua halihali mai no hoi makou ilalo nei i na moni e ae ma ko makou mau lima e kuai i ai; aole ike makou i ka mea nana i waiho ka moni a makou iloko o ka makou mau eke.
23 Then the servant said, Peace be with you: have no fear: your God, even the God of your father, has put wealth in your bags for you: I had your money. Then he let Simeon come out to them.
Olelo mai la kela, Aloha oukou, mai makau; na ko oukou Akua, ke Akua o ko oukou makuakane, nana i haawi ka waiwai na oukou iloko o ka oukou mau eke: ua hiki mai ka oukou moni ia'u. Alakai mai la oia ia Simeona io lakou la.
24 And the servant took them into Joseph's house, and gave them water for washing their feet; and he gave their asses food.
Alakai ae la ua kanaka la i ka poe kanaka iloko o ko Iosepa hale, a haawi mai la ia lakou i ka wai, holoi iho la lakou i ko lakou mau wawae, a haawi mai la hoi ia i ai na na hoki o lakou.
25 And they got ready the things for Joseph before he came in the middle of the day: for word was given to them that they were to have a meal there.
Hoomakaukau iho la lakou i ka makana i ka hele ana mai o Iosepa i ke awakea; no ka mea, ua lohe lakou, e ai ana lakou i ka ai ilaila.
26 And when Joseph came in, they gave him the things which they had for him, and went down to the earth before him.
A hoi mai la o Iosepa i kona hale, halihali mai la lakou iloko o ka hale i ka makana nana, na ko lakou lima i paa ai, a kulou iho la lakou imua ona ilalo i ka honua.
27 And he said, How are you? is your father well, the old man of whom you were talking to me? is he still living?
Ninau mai la ia ia lakou i ko lakou noho ana, i aku la, Pehea ko oukou makuakane, o ka elemakule a oukou i olelo mai ai? Ke ola la no ia, ea?
28 And they said, Your servant, our father, is well, he is still living. And they went down on their faces before him.
Olelo aku la lakou, E noho pomaikai ana no kau kauwa, ka makuakane o makou, ke ola la no ia. A kulou iho la lakou a moe ilalo.
29 Then, lifting up his eyes, he saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother's son, and he said, Is this your youngest brother of whom you gave me word? And he said, God be good to you, my son.
Alawa ae la kona maka iluna, ike mai la i kona kaikaina ia Beniamina, ke keiki a kona makuwahine ponoi, a i mai la ia, O ko oukou kaikaina anei keia, a oukou i olelo mai ai ia'u? A olelo ae la hoi ia, E aloha mai ke Akua ia oe, e kuu keiki.
30 Then Joseph's heart went out to his brother, and he went quickly into his room, for he was overcome with weeping.
Wikiwiki ae la o Iosepa; no ka mea, ua mokumokuahua kona manawa i kona kaikaina, imi ae la ia i kahi e uwe ai; komo ae la ia i kona keena maluna, a uwe iho la ilaila.
31 Then, after washing his face, he came out, and controlling his feelings said, Put food before us.
Holoi ae la ia i kona maka, hele aku la iwaho, a uumi iho la ia i kona aloha, a olelo aku la, E ho mai i ka ai.
32 And they put a meal ready for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who were with him by themselves; because the Egyptians may not take food with the Hebrews, for that would make them unclean.
Kau mai la lakou nana ma ke kaawale, a na lakou ma ke kaawale, a na ko Aigupita i ai pu me ia ma ke kaawale; no ka mea, aole e hiki i ko Aigupita, ke ai pu me na Hebera, he mea haumia ia i ko Aigupita.
33 And they were all given their seats before him in order of birth, from the oldest to the youngest: so that they were looking at one another in wonder.
Noho iho la lakou imua ona, o ka hiapo e like me kona hanau mua ana, a o ka muli loa e like me kona hanau muli ana mai. Kahaha iho la ko lakou naau kekahi i kekahi.
34 And Joseph sent food to them from his table, but he sent five times as much to Benjamin as to any of the others. And they took wine freely with him.
Lalau ae la ia i ka ai a haawi aku la ia lakou, mai kona alo aku, ua palimaia ka Beniamina i ka lakou. Inu pu lakou a olioli me ia.
