Genesis 45
1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
Na kihai i taea e Hohepa te whakamanawanui i te aroaro o te hunga katoa e tu ana i tona taha; a ka karanga ia, Haere katoa atu nga tangata i toku taha. A kihai i tu tetahi tangata i tona taha, i a Hohepa e whakaatu ana i a ia ki ona tuakana.
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Na he nui tona reo ki te tangi: a ka rongo nga Ihipiana, ka rongo ano hoki te whare o Parao.
3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
Na ka mea a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, Ko Hohepa ahau; e ora ana ano ranei toku papa? A kihai ona tuakana i ahei te whakahoki kupu ki a ia; i pororaru hoki ratou i tona aroaro.
4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
A ka mea a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, Whakatata mai ra ki ahau. A ka whakatata ratou. A ka mea ia, Ko Hohepa ahau, ko to koutou teina i hokona nei e koutou ki Ihipa.
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for Elohim did send me before you to preserve life.
Na, kaua ra e pouri, kaua hoki e mumura o koutou kanohi, mo koutou i hoko i ahau ki konei: no te mea he mea tono mai ahau e te Atua ki mua i a koutou hei whakaora tangata.
6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
Ka rua hoki enei tau o te matekai ki te whenua: kei muri ano etahi atu tau e rima, e kore ai e parau, e kore ai e kokoti.
7 And Elohim sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Kua tonoa mai nei hoki ahau e te Atua ki mua i a koutou kia whai putanga ai koutou ki te ao, kia ora ai hoki koutou i runga i te whakaoranga nui.
8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but Elohim: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and master of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Ina, ehara i a koutou nana ahau i tono mai ki konei, engari na te Atua; kua waiho hoki ahau e ia hei matua ki a Parao, hei ariki ano mo tona whare katoa, hei kawana hoki mo te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, Elohim hath made me master of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
Hohoro, haere ki runga, ki toku papa, mea atu ki a ia, He penei te kupu a tau tama a Hohepa, Kua meinga ahau e te Atua hei ariki mo Ihipa katoa; haere mai ki ahau, kaua e whakaroa.
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
A me noho koe ki te whenua o Kohena, a ka tata koe ki ahau, koutou ko au tama, ko nga tama hoki a au tama, me au kahui, me au kau, me au mea katoa:
11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
A ka atawhai ahau i a koe ki reira; e rima hoki enei tau matekai kei muri nei; kei rawakoretia koutou ko tou whare me au mea katoa.
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
Na, ka kite nei o koutou kanohi, me nga kanohi o toku teina, o Pineamine, ko toku waha tenei te korero nei ki a koutou.
13 And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
A ma koutou e korero ki toku papa toku kororia katoa i Ihipa, me nga mea katoa i kite nei koutou; kia hohoro ano ta koutou kawe mai i toku papa ki konei.
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Na ka hinga ia ki runga ki te kaki o Pineamine, o tona teina, a ka tangi, ka tangi ano a Pineamine i runga i tona kaki.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
A ka kihi ia i ona tuakana katoa, ka tangi hoki ki a ratou: a muri iho ka korero ona tuakana ki a ia.
16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Na ka tae te rongo ki te whare o Parao, ka korerotia, Kua tae mai nga tuakana o Hohepa: he mea pai ano tena ki te whakaaro o Parao, o ana tangata hoki.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
Na ka mea a Parao ki a Hohepa, Korero ki ou tuakana, Ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai; whakawaha a koutou kararehe, a whakatika, haere ki te whenua o Kanaana;
18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
Tikina hoki to koutou papa, me nga tangata o o koutou whare, a haere mai ki ahau: a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koutou nga mea papai o te whenua o Ihipa, a ka kai koutou i te momonatanga o te whenua.
19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Na, kua whakahaua nei koe, meatia tenei e koutou; mauria atu etahi kaata ma koutou i te whenua o Ihipa mo a koutou tamariki, mo a koutou wahine, a kawea mai to koutou papa, haere mai hoki.
20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
A kaua e whakaaro ki a koutou mea; ma koutou hoki nga mea pai o te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Na ka pera nga tama a Iharaira: a ka homai he kaata e Hohepa ki a ratou, ka pera me ta Parao i ki ai, i homai ano e ia he o mo ratou ki te ara.
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
I homai ano hoki e ia ki a ratou katoa he whakatakirua mo nga kakahu o tetahi, o tetahi; ki a Pineamine ia i homai e ia e toru rau hiriwa, takirima ano hoki nga kakahu.
23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
A ko nga mea tenei i homai e ia kia kawea ki tona papa; kotahi tekau nga kaihe e waha ana i nga mea papai o Ihipa, me nga kaihe uha kotahi tekau, ko ta ratou kawenga he witi, he taro, hei kai ma tona papa ki te ara.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
Na ka tonoa atu e ia ona tuakana, a haere ano ratou: ka mea hoki ia ki a ratou, Kei ngangau koutou ki te ara.
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
Na haere ana ratou i Ihipa ki runga, a ka tae ki te whenua o Kanaana, ki a Hakopa, ki to ratou papa,
26 And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
A ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, E ora ana ano a Hohepa, ko ia hoki te kawana o te whenua katoa o Ihipa. Na ka whakapau te manawa o Hakopa, kihai hoki ia i whakapono ki a ratou.
27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
Na ka korerotia e ratou ki a ia nga kupu katoa a Hohepa i korero ai ia ki a ratou: a ka kite ia i nga kaata i tukua mai e Hohepa hei tiki mai mona, na, ka ora ake te wairua o Hakopa, o to ratou papa:
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
A katahi a Iharaira ka mea, Heoi ano; e ora ana ano taku tama, a Hohepa: ka haere ahau kia kite i a ia kei mate ahau.
