Genesis 43
1 And the famine was sore in the land.
A OKI loa iho la ka aina i ka wi.
2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, Go again, buy 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 spoke to him, saying, The man did solemnly protest to us, saying, You shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
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 send our brother with us, we will go down and buy you 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 shall not see my face, except your brother be 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 dealt you so ill with me, as to tell the man whether you had yet 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 asked us straightly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have you another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
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 And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and you, and also our little ones.
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 I will be surety for him; of my hand shall you require him: if I bring him not to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame 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 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
Ina aole makou i hookaulua, ina ua hoi hou mai makou, mai ka lua o ka hele ana.
11 And their father Israel said to them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
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 double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:
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 Take also your brother, and arise, go again 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 God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
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 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood 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 with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
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 man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought 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 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall on us, and take us for slaves, and our asses.
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 And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they communed with him 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 sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy 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 it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
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 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
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 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon 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 man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
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 made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread 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 home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
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 asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he yet alive?
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 answered, Your servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
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 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom you spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious 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 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn on his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
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 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
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 set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
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 sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marveled one at another.
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 he took and sent messes to them from before him: but Benjamin’s mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry 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.
