Genesis 42
1 Then Jacob, hearing that food was being sold in Egypt, said to his sons: “Why are you negligent?
A IKE ae la o Iakoba, he ai ma Aigupita, olelo aku la o Iakoba i kana poe keikikane, O ke aha ka oukou e nana aku nei, kekahi i kekahi?
2 I have heard that wheat is being sold in Egypt. Go down and buy necessities for us, so that we may be able to live, and not be consumed by destitution.”
Olelo aku la ia, Aia hoi, ua lohe au, ho ai ma Aigupita, E iho aku oukou ilaila, e kuai i ai na kakou, i ola kakou, aole e make.
3 And so, when ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain in Egypt,
Hele aku la ka poe kaikuaana o Iosepa he umi ilalo i Aigupita e kuai i ai.
4 Benjamin was kept at home by Jacob, who said to his brothers, “Lest perhaps he may suffer harm on the journey.”
A o Beniamina, ke kaikaina o Iosepa, aole o Iakoba i hoouna aku ia ia me kona poe kaikunana, no ka mea, i olelo iho la ia, O poino kela.
5 And they entered into the land of Egypt with the others who traveled to buy. For the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Hele pu ae la na keiki a Iseraela iwaena o ka poe hele, e kuai i ai, no ka mea, ua wi loa ka aina o Kanaana.
6 And Joseph was governor in the land of Egypt, and grain was sold under his direction to the people. And when his brothers had reverenced him
O Iosepa no ke kiaaina olaila, a nana no i kuai na na kanaka a pau o ia aina. Hele mai la ka poe kaikuaana o Iosepa, a kulou iho la lakou imua ona, me na maka i ka honua.
7 and he had recognized them, he spoke harshly, as if to foreigners, questioning them: “Where did you come from?” And they responded, “From the land of Canaan, to buy necessary provisions.”
A nana aku la o Iosepa i kona poe kaikuaana, ike ae la oia ia lakou, a hoohuahualau aku oia ia lakou, olelo koikoi aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la ia lakou, Nohea mai oukou? Olelo mai la lakou, No ka aina o Kanaana mai, e kuai i ai.
8 And although he knew his brothers, he was not known by them.
Ua ike no o Iosepa i kona poe kaikuaana, aole nae lakou i ike ia ia.
9 And remembering the dreams, which he had seen in another time, he said to them: “You are scouts. You have come in order to see which parts of the land are weaker.”
Hoomanao iho la o Iosepa i na moe ana i moe ai no lakou, i aku la oia ia lakou, He poe kiu oukou; ua hele mai oukou e nana i ka hemahema o ka aina.
10 And they said: “It is not so, my lord. But your servants have arrived in order to buy food.
Olelo mai la lakou ia ia, Aole ia, e kuu haku. I hele mai kau poe kauwa e kuai i ai.
11 We are all sons of one man. We have come in peace, nor do any of your subjects devise evil.”
He poe keiki makou a pau na ke kanaka hookahi; he poe kanaka pono, aole he poe kin makou o kau poe kauwa.
12 And he answered them: “It is otherwise. You have come to examine the unguarded parts of this land.”
Olelo aku la ia ia lakou, Aole, ua hele mai nei oukou e nana i ka hemahema o ka aina.
13 But they said: “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. The youngest is with our father; the other is not living.”
Olelo mai la lakou, O kau poe kauwa, he umi makou a me kumamalua o ko makou hanauna, na keiki a ke kanaka hookahi i ka aina o Kanaana, aia hoi ka muli loa i keia la me ka makuakane o makou, a o kekahi hoi, aole ia.
14 He said: “This is just as I have said. You are scouts.
Olelo aku la o Iosepa ia lakou, Oia hoi ka'u i olelo aku nei ia oukou, he poe kiu oukou.
15 I will now continue to put you to the test. By the health of Pharaoh, you will not depart from here, until your youngest brother arrives.
I keia mea e ikea ai oukou, ma ke ola o Parao, aole oukou e hoi aku, ke hiki ole mai ko oukou kaikaina.
16 Send one of you and bring him. But you will be in chains, until what you have said is proven to be either true or false. Otherwise, by the health of Pharaoh, you are scouts.”
E hoouna ae i kekahi o oukou e kii i ko oukou kaikaina, a e paa oukou, i ikea ka oukou olelo a me ka pono io o oukou, aka, i ole, ma ke ola o Parao, he poe kiu io no oukou.
17 Therefore, he delivered them into custody for three days.
A hoakoakoa mai la oia ia lakou a pau iloko o kahi paa, a ekolu la.
18 Then, on the third day, he brought them out of prison, and he said: “Do as I have said, and you will live. For I fear God.
A i ka po akolu, olelo aku la o Iosepa ia lakou, E hana oukou i keia, i ola oukou; ua makau wau i ke Akua.
19 If you are peaceful, let one of your brothers be bound in prison. Then you may go away and carry the grain that you have bought to your houses.
Ina he poe kanaka pono oukou, e paaia kekahi o oukou i ka halepaahao: e hoi aku oukou e halihali i ai na ka wi o ko oukou mau hale:
20 And bring your youngest brother to me, so that I may be able to test your words, and you may not die.” They did as he had said,
A e lawe mai i ko oukou kaikaina io'u nei, pela e oiaio ai ka oukou olelo, alaila, aole oukou e make. Hana mai la lakou pela.
21 and they spoke to one another: “We deserve to suffer these things, because we have sinned against our brother, seeing the anguish of his soul, when he begged us and we would not listen. For that reason, this tribulation has come upon us.”
Olelo ae la lakou kekahi i kekahi, Ua hewa io kakou i ko kakou kaikaina, no ka mea, ua ike kakou i ka ehaeha o kona naau, i ka manawa ana i noi mai ai ia kakou, aole kakou i hoolohe aku; no ia mea, ua hiki mai keia popilikia io kakou nei.
22 And Reuben, one of them, said: “Did not I say to you, ‘Do not sin against the boy,’ and you would not listen to me? See, his blood is exacted.”
A olelo aku la o Reubena ia lakou, i aku la, Aole anei au i olelo aku ia oukou, i ka i ana aku, Mai hana hewa aku i ke keiki? Aole oukou i hoolohe mai. Aia hoi, no ia mea, ua imiia mai ko ia la koko.
23 But they did not know that Joseph understood, because he was speaking to them through an interpreter.
Aole i ike lakou ua lohe pono o Iosepa ia lakou, no ka mea, ua olelo aku oia ia lakou, ma ke kanaka hoohalike olelo.
24 And he turned himself away briefly and wept. And returning, he spoke to them.
Haliu aku la ia, mai o lakou la, a uwe iho la; haliu hou mai la oia ia lakou, kamailio pu me lakou, a lawe mai la oia ia Simeona, mai o lakou mai la, a hana paa iho la ia ia mamua o ko lakou mau maka.
25 And taking Simeon, and binding him in their presence, he ordered his ministers to fill their sacks with wheat, and to replace each one’s money in their sacks, and to give them, in addition, provisions for the way. And they did so.
Alaila, kauoha aku la o Iosepa, e uhao i ka ai i na eke a lakou a piha, a e hoihoi i ka moni a lakou iloko o ka lakou mau eke, a e haawi aku i o na lakou no ke alanui. Pela oia i hana aku ai ia lakou.
26 Then, having loaded their donkeys with the grain, they set out.
Hooili ae la lakou i ka ai iluna iho o ko lakou mau hoki, a hele aku la.
27 And one of them, opening a sack to give his beast of burden fodder at the inn, looked upon the money at the sack’s mouth,
A i ka wehe ana o kekahi i kana eke, e haawi aku i ai na kona hoki, ma kahi oioina, ike ae la ia i kana moni, no ka mea, aia hoi ia ma ka waha o kana eke.
28 and he said to his brothers: “My money has returned to me. See, it is held in the sack.” And they were astonished and troubled, and they said to one another, “What is this that God has done to us?”
A olelo aku la ia i kona poe hoahanau, E, ua hoihoiia mai ka'u moni; eia hoi ia iloko o ka'u eke. Hikilele iho la ko lakou naau, haalulu iho la lakou, i aku la kekahi i kekahi, Heaha keia mea a ke Akua i hana mai ai ia kakou?
29 And they went to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, and they explained to him all the things that had befallen them, saying:
A hiki lakou io Iakoba la, i ko lakou makuakane i ka aina o Kanaana, hai aku la lakou ia ia i na mea a pau i loaa'i ia lakou; i aku la,
30 “The lord of the land spoke harshly to us, and he considered us to be scouts of the province.
O ke kanaka, ka haku o ka aina i olelo koikoi mai ai ia makou; ua kuhi mai kela ia makou, he poe kiu no ka aina.
31 And we answered him: ‘We are peaceful, and we do not intend any treachery.
A olelo aku la makou ia ia, He poe pono makou; aohe makou he kiu.
32 We are twelve brothers conceived of one father. One is not living; the youngest is with our father in the land of Canaan.’
He poe hanauna makou, he umi a me kumamalua, na keiki a ko makou makuakane; aole kekahi, a o ka muli loa, aia no ia i keia la me ko makou makuakane, i ka aina o Kanaana.
33 And he said to us: ‘Thus will I prove that you are peaceful. Release one of your brothers to me, and take necessary provisions for your houses, and go away,
A o ke kanaka, ka haku o ka aina, olelo mai la ia makou, I keia mea e ikeia'i he poe kanaka pono oukou, E waiho mai oukou i kekahi hoahanau o oukou me au, a e lawe i ai na ka wi o ko oukou mau hale, a e hoi aku:
34 and bring your youngest brother to me, so that I may know that you are not scouts. And this one, who is held in chains, you may be able to receive again. And thereafter, you shall have permission to buy what you want.’”
A e lawe mai oukou i ko oukou kaikaina io'u nei; alaila, ike au ia oukou, aohe kiu, he poe kanaka maikai no oukou; a e kuu aku au ia oukou i ko oukou hoahanau, a e kuai oukou iloko o keia aina.
35 Having said this, when they poured out their grain, each found his money tied to the mouth of his sack. And all were terrified together.
A i ka ninini ana aku a lakou i ka lakou mau eke, aia hoi, iloko o na eke a lakou, ka lakou mau laulau moni a pau. A ike ae la lakou a me ko lakou makuakane i na laulau moni, makau nui iho la lakou.
36 Their father Jacob said, “You have caused me to be without children. Joseph is not living, Simeon is held in chains, and Benjamin you would carry away. All these evils have fallen back upon me.”
A olelo mai la o Iakoba ko lakou makuakane ia lakou, Ua hoonele mai oukou ia'u i ka'u mau keiki. O Iosepa, aole ia, a o Simeona, aole ia, a e lawe aku ana oukou ia Beniamina. Ke pale mai nei keia mau mea a pau ia'u.
37 And Reuben answered him, “Put my two sons to death, if I do not lead him back to you. Deliver him into my hand, and I will restore him to you.”
Olelo aku la o Reubena i kona makuakane, i aku la, E pepehi mai oe i ka'u mau keiki elua, ke hoihoi ole mai au ia ia nei iou la; e haawi mai oe ia ia nei i kuu lima, na'u ia e hoihoi hou mai iou la.
38 But he said: “My son will not go down with you. His brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any adversity will befall him in the land to which you travel, you would lead my grey hairs down with sorrow to the grave.” (Sheol h7585)
Olelo mai la ia, Aole e iho aku ka'u keiki me oukou ilaila, no ka mea, ua make kona kaikuaana, oia nei wale no koe: ina poino keia, ma ke alanui a oukou e hele ai, alaila, lawe iho oukou i ko'u oho hina i ka lua me ke kaniuhu. (Sheol h7585)
