Genesis 43
1 And the famine was sore in the land.
A, he tino nui te matekai o te whenua.
2 And it came to pass, when they had completely eaten up the provisions which they had brought out of Egypt, that their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
A, ka pau te witi i maua mai e ratou i Ihipa, na ka mea to ratou papa ki a ratou, Hoki atu ki te hoko i tetahi wahi kai ma tatou.
3 And Judah said unto him, thus, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
A ka korero a Hura ki a ia, ka mea, I tino whakatupato taua tangata i a matou, i mea, E kore koutou e kite i toku mata ki te kahore to koutou teina i a koutou.
4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food;
Ki te tukua e koe to matou teina hei hoa mo matou, ka haere matou ki raro ki te hoko kai mau:
5 But if thou sendest him not, we will not go down; for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
Ki te kahore ia e tukua e koe, e kore matou e haere ki raro: no te mea i ki mai taua tangata ki a matou, E kore koutou e kite i toku mata ki te kahore to koutou teina i a koutou.
6 And Israel said, Wherefore have ye dealt so ill with me, as to tell the man that ye have yet another brother?
Na ka mea a Iharaira, He aha koutou i ngarahu kino ai ki ahau, i whakaatu ai ki taua tangata he teina ano to koutou?
7 And they said, The man inquired particularly concerning us, and our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we possibly know that he would say, Bring down your brother?
A ka mea ratou, I tino ui taua tangata ki o matou ahua, ki o matou whanaunga hoki, i mea mai, E ora ana ano ranei to koutou papa? tena ano ranei tetahi atu teina o koutou? a rite tonu ki enei kupu ta matou i korero ai ki a ia: tera ranei matou e ata mohio ka ki mai ia, Kawea mai to koutou teina ki raro nei?
8 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, as also our little ones.
Na ka mea a Hura ki tona papa, ki a Iharaira, Tukua te tamaiti ki ahau, a ka whakatika matou, ka haere; kia ora ai tatou, kei mate tahi hoki matou me koe, me a matou potiki.
9 I will be surety for him; from my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then shall I have sinned against thee all the days.
Ko ahau hei utu mona; me rapu ia e koe i toku ringa: ki te kahore ahau e kawe mai i a ia ki a koe, e whakatu hoki i a ia ki tou aroaro, na, hei whakahenga ahau mau i nga ra katoa:
10 For, if we had not lingered, surely we had now returned the second time.
Me i kahore hoki matou i roa nei, kua rua enei hokinga mai o matou inaianei.
11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this: take of the best products of the land in your vessels, and carry down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and lotus, pistachio-nuts and almonds;
Katahi ka mea a Iharaira, to ratou papa ki a ratou, Ki te mea ra he penei te hanga, ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai; maua atu etahi o nga hua papai o te whenua i roto i a koutou oko, kawea atu hoki he hakari ki raro, ki taua tangata, tetahi wahi pam a, me tetahi wahi honi, etahi aramona:
12 And twofold money take in your hand; and the money that was put back in the mouth of your sacks, you must carry back in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight;
Kia takirua hoki nga hiriwa e maua atu i roto i o koutou ringa; ko te moni hoki i whakahokia mai i te waha o a koutou peke, me whakahoki atu ano tena i roto i o koutou ringa; he pohehe noa pea tena:
13 Also your brother take along, and arise, go again unto the man.
Kawea atu ano hoki to koutou teina, a whakatika, hoki atu ano ki taua tangata:
14 And may God the Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away to you your other brother, and Benjamin. And I, if I am to be bereaved, let me be bereaved.
A ma te Atua Kaha Rawa e tuku mai ki a koutou kia arohaina mai e taua tangata, kia tonoa mai ano e ia tera tuakana o koutou, raua ko Pineamine. Ko ahau hoki, ki te whakapania ahau, ka whakapania ahau.
15 And the men took that present; and twofold money they took in their hand, as also Benjamin; and they rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Na ka mau aua tangata ki taua hakari, e rua hoki nga moni i maua atu e ratou i roto i o ratou ringa, me Pineamine hoki: a whakatika ana ratou, haere ana ki raro, ki Ihipa, a ka tu ki te aroaro o Hohepa.
16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the superintendent of his house, Bring these men into the house, and slay, and make ready; for with me shall these men dine at noon.
A, ka kitea a Pineamine e Hohepa i roto i a ratou, na ka mea ia ki te kaitohutohu o tona whare, Kawea ena tangata ki te whare, patua he kai, taka hoki; ka kai tahi hoki matou ko ena tangata ina tu te ra.
17 And the man did as Joseph had said; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
Na ka meatia e taua tangata ta Hohepa i ki ai; a ka kawea aua tangata e taua tangata ki te whare o Hohepa.
18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house: and they said, Because of the money that came back in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, together with our asses.
Na ka wehi aua tangata, mo ratou i kawea ki te whare o Hohepa; a ka mea ratou, Mo te moni i whakahokia i roto i a tatou peke i te haerenga tuatahi i kawea mai ai tatou; kia whai take mai ai ia ki a tatou, mo tana rere mai ki a tatou ki te tango i a tatou hei pononga, me a tatou kaihe hoki.
19 And they came near to the man who was appointed over Joseph's house, and they spoke with him at the door of the house.
Na ka whakatata ratou ki te kaitohutohu o te whare o Hohepa, ka korero ki a ia i te kuwaha o te whare,
20 And they said, Pardon, my lord, we came down at the first time to buy food:
Ka mea, E te ariki, i haere mai ano matou i mua ki te hoko kai:
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 its full weight; and we have brought it back in our hand.
A, no to matou taenga ki te whare tira, i ta matou whakatuwheratanga i a matou peke, na, ko te moni a tenei, a tenei, i te waha o tana peke, ta matou moni, rite tonu te taimaha: a kua whakahokia mai taua mea e matou i roto i o matou ringa.
22 And other money have we brought down in our hand to buy food; we know not who hath put our money in our sacks.
Kua kawea mai ano e matou i roto i o matou ringa tetahi atu moni hei hoko kai: kahore matou e mohio na wai ranei i maka a matou moni ki a matou peke.
23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not; your God, and the God of your father, hath given you a treasure in your sacks; your money hath come to me. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
A ka mea ia, Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koutou, kaua e wehi: na to koutou Atua, na te Atua hoki o to koutou papa i homai he taonga ki a koutou ki roto ki a koutou peke: i tae mai ano ta koutou moni ki ahau. A ka kawea e ia a Himiona ki a ratou.
24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house; and he gave them water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses.
Na ka kawe taua tangata i aua tangata ki te whare o Hohepa, ka hoatu e ia he wai hei horoi mo o ratou waewae; i hoatu ano e ia he kai ma a ratou kaihe.
25 And they made ready the present before Joseph came home at noon; for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
Na ka taka e ratou te hakari mo te taenga mai o Hohepa i te awatea: i rongo hoki ratou me kai taro ratou ki reira.
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, i te taenga mai o Hohepa ki te whare, ka kawea e ratou ki a ia te hakari a o ratou ringa ki te whare, a ka piko ki a ia ki te whenua.
27 And he asked them after their welfare, and said, Is your old father well, of whom ye spoke? is he yet alive?
Na ka ui ia ki a ratou ki te pai, ka mea, Kei te pai ranei to koutou papa, te koroheke i korerotia mai ra e koutou? E ora ana ano ranei ia?
28 And they answered, Thy servant, our father, is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and prostrated themselves.
A ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kei te pai tau pononga, to matou papa, e ora ana ano ia. Na ka tuohu ratou, ka piko iho.
29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your youngest brother, of whom ye spoke unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
Ka maranga tona kanohi, ka kite ia i a Pineamine, i tona teina, i te tama a tona whaea, a ka mea, Ko to koutou teina tenei, ko te whakaotinga i korerotia ra e koutou ki ahau? I mea ano ia, Kia aroha te Atua ki a koe, e taku tama.
30 And Joseph hastened away, for his affection toward his brother became enkindled, and he sought to weep; and he entered into his chamber and wept there.
Na ka hohoro a Hohepa; he tokonga ake hoki no tona ngakau aroha ki tona teina: a ka rapua e ia tetahi wahi hei tangihanga; a haere ano ia ki te ruma i roto, ki reira tangi ai.
31 And he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on the bread.
Na ka horoia e ia tona mata, ka puta ki waho, ka whakamanawanui, ka mea, Whakatakotoria he taro.
32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves; and for the Egyptians, who did eat with him, by themselves; because the Egyptians may not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Na ka whakatakotoria e ratou, mana ki a ia anake, ma ratou ki a ratou anake, ma nga Ihipiana, i kai tahi me ia, ki a ratou anake: e kore hoki e ahei i nga Ihipiana te kai taro tahi me nga Hiperu; he mea whakarihariha hoki tena ki nga Ihipiana.
33 And they sat before him, the first-born according to his prior birth, and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marveled one at the other.
Na ka noho ratou ki tona aroaro, to mua rite tonu ano ki tona muanga, to muri rite tonu ano ki tona muringa; a miharo ana aua tangata tetahi ki tetahi.
34 And he sent portions unto them from before him; but Benjamin's portion exceeded the portions of all of them fivefold. And they drank, and were merry with him.
Na ka tuwhaina atu e ia etahi o nga wahi i tona aroaro ma ratou: he nui rawa ia te wahi i a Pineamine; me i takirimatia te wahi a tetahi o ratou kua rite ki tana. Na ka inu ratou, ka koa tahi me ia.
