Genesis 43
1 And the famine [is] severe in the land;
A, he tino nui te matekai o te whenua.
2 and it comes to pass, when they have finished eating the grain which they brought from Egypt, that their father says to them, “Return, buy for 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 speaks to him, saying, “The man protesting protested to us, saying, You do not see my face without your brother [being] 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 you are sending our brother with us, we go down, and buy for you food,
Ki te tukua e koe to matou teina hei hoa mo matou, ka haere matou ki raro ki te hoko kai mau:
5 and if you are not sending—we do not go down, for the man said to us, You do not see my face without your brother [being] 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 says, “Why did you do evil to me, by declaring to the man that you had yet a 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 say, “The man asked diligently concerning us, and concerning our family, saying, Is your father yet alive? Have you a brother? And we declare to him according to the tenor of these things; do we certainly know that he will 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 says to his father Israel, “Send the youth with me, and we arise, and go, and live, and do not die, both we, and you, and our infants.
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 am guarantor [for] him, from my hand you require him; if I have not brought him to you, and set him before you—then I have sinned against you 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 now we had returned these two times.”
Me i kahore hoki matou i roa nei, kua rua enei hokinga mai o matou inaianei.
11 And their father Israel says to them, “If so, now, do this: take of the praised thing of the land in your vessels, and take down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, 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 double money take in your hand, even the money which is brought back in the mouth of your bags, you take back in your hand, it may be it [is] 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 And take your brother, and rise, return to the man;
Kawea atu ano hoki to koutou teina, a whakatika, hoki atu ano ki taua tangata:
14 and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so that he has sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and I, when I am bereaved—I am 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 take this present, double money also they have taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down to Egypt, and stand 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 Joseph sees Benjamin with them and says to him who [is] over his house, “Bring the men into the house, and slaughter an animal, and make ready, for the men eat with me 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 does as Joseph has said, and the man brings in the men into the house of Joseph,
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 are afraid because they have been brought into the house of Joseph, and they say, “For the matter of the money which was put back in our bags at the commencement are we brought in—to roll himself on us, and to throw himself on us, and to take us for servants—our donkeys also.”
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 come near to the man who [is] over the house of Joseph, and speak to him at the opening 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 say, “O my lord, we really come down at the commencement to buy food;
Ka mea, E te ariki, i haere mai ano matou i mua ki te hoko kai:
21 and it comes to pass, when we have come to the lodging-place, and open our bags, that behold, each one’s money [is] in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we bring 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 have not known who put our money in our bags.”
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 says, “Peace to you, do not fear: your God and the God of your father has given to you hidden treasure in your bags, your money came to me”; and he brings out Simeon to 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 brings in the men into Joseph’s house, and gives water, and they wash their feet; and he gives provender for their donkeys,
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 prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at noon, for they have heard that there they eat bread.
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 Joseph comes into the house, and they bring to him the present which [is] in their hand, into the house, and bow 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 asks of them of peace and says, “Is your father well? The aged man of whom you have spoken, 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 say, “Your servant our father [is] well, he is yet alive”; and they bow, and pay respect.
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 lifts up his eyes and sees his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and says, “Is this your young brother, of whom you have spoken to me?” And he says, “God favor you, 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 hurries, for his bowels have been moved for his brother, and he seeks to weep, and enters the inner chamber, and weeps 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 washes his face, and goes out, and refrains himself, and says, “Place bread.”
Na ka horoia e ia tona mata, ka puta ki waho, ka whakamanawanui, ka mea, Whakatakotoria he taro.
32 And they place for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who are eating with him by themselves: for the Egyptians are unable to eat bread with the Hebrews, for it [is] an abomination to 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 sit before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the men wonder one at another;
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 lifts up gifts from before him to them, and the gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of them; and they drink, indeed, they drink abundantly 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.
