< Genesis 44 >

1 And he commands him who [is] over his house, saying, “Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;
A KAUOHA aku la ia i ka luna o kona hale, i aku la, E uhao i ka ai iloko o na eke a ua mau kanaka la a piha, a e waiho i ka moni a lakou a pau maloko o ka waha o ka lakou mau eke.
2 and my cup, the silver cup, you put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his grain-money”; and he does according to the word of Joseph which he has spoken.
A e uhao hoi i kuu kiaha, i ke kiaha kala maloko o ka waha o ka eke a ka mea opiopio loa, a me kana moni no ka ai. Hana mai la kela ma ka olelo a Iosepa i olelo aku ai.
3 The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their donkeys—
A ao ae la, ua hoihoiia'ku la ua poe kanaka la, a me ko lakou mau hoki.
4 they have gone out of the city—they have not gone far off—and Joseph has said to him who [is] over his house, “Rise, pursue after the men; and you have overtaken them, and you have said to them: Why have you repaid evil for good?
A puka aku la lakou mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, aole i hiki i kahi loihi, alaila olelo aku la o Iosepa i kana luna, E ku oe, e alualu aku i ua poe kanaka la, a loaa lakou ia oe, e i aku ia lakou, No ke aha oukou i hoihoi mai ai i ka hewa no ka pono?
5 Is this not that with which my lord drinks? And he observes diligently with it; you have done evil [in] that which you have done.”
Aole anei keia o ka mea a ka'u haku i inu ai iloko? a i kilo ai hoi? Ua hewa oukou i ka hana ana pela.
6 And he overtakes them, and speaks to them these words,
A hiki aku la ia io lakou la, olelo aku la ia ia lakou i keia mau olelo.
7 and they say to him, “Why does my lord speak according to these words? Far be it from your servants to do according to this word;
Ninau mai la lakou ia ia, No ke aha la i olelo mai ai kuu haku i keia olelo? Aole loa e hiki i kou poe kauwa ke hana e like me ia.
8 behold, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back to you from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of your lord silver or gold?
Eia hoi, o ka moni a makou i loaa'i iloko o ka waha o ka makou mau eke, ua halihali hou mai makou ia nei ia oe mai loko mai o ka aina o Kanaana, Pehea hoi makou i aihue ai i ke kala, a i ke gula, noloko mai o ka hale o kou haku?
9 With whomsoever of your servants it is found, he has died, and we also are to my lord for servants.”
A i ikeia ia mea i kekahi o kou poe kauwa, e make ia, a e lilo makou i poe kauwa na kou haku.
10 And he says, “Now also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becomes my servant, and you are acquitted”;
Olelo aku la ia, Ae, e like me ka oukou olelo, pela no ia: o ka mea ua loaa me ke kiaha, e lilo ia i kauwa na'u, a e hala ole oukou.
11 and they hurry and take down each his bag to the earth, and each opens his bag;
Kuu koke iho la lakou a pau i ka lakou mau eke ilalo i ka honua, a wehe ae la lakou i ka lakou mau eke.
12 and he searches—at the eldest he has begun, and at the youngest he has completed—and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;
A imi iho la kela, a hoomaka iho la ma ka hiapo, a oki ae la ma ka muli loa, a loaa mai la ke kiaha ma ka eke a Beniamina.
13 and they tear their garments, and each loads his donkey, and they return to the city.
Alaila haehae iho la lakou i ko lakou mau kapa, a kau aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka ukana ma kana hoki, a hoi aku la i ke kulanakauhale.
14 And Judah and his brothers come to the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall to the earth before him;
A hele aku la o Iuda a me kona poe hoahanau i ka hale o Iosepa, aia no ia; a moe iho la lakou imua ona ilalo i ka honua.
15 and Joseph says to them, “What [is] this deed that you have done? Have you not known that a man like me diligently observes?”
Ninau aku la o Iosepa ia lakou, Heaha keia mea a oukou i hana mai nei? Aole anei oukou i ike, e hiki i ke kanaka me a'u nei e kilokilo aku?
16 And Judah says, “What do we say to my lord? What do we speak? And how do we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup has been found”;
Olelo aku la o Iuda, Pehea la makou e pane aku ai ia oe, e kuu haku? Heaha ka makou e olelo aku ai? Pehea makou e hoapono ai ia makou iho? Ua loaa i ke Akua ka hewa o kau poe kauwa; eia hoi, he poe kauwa makou na ko'u haku. o makou, a me ka mea i loaa ke kiaha ma koua lima.
17 and he says, “Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup has been found, he becomes my servant; and you, go up in peace to your father.”
Olelo mai la o Iosepa, Aole loa e hiki ia'u ke hana pela; aka, o ke kanaka, i loaa'i ke kiaha i kona lima, e lilo ia i kauwa na'u: a o oukou, e hoi aku me ka maluhia i ko oukou makuakane.
18 And Judah comes near to him and says, “O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let your anger burn against your servant—for you are as Pharaoh.
Alaila neenee aku la o Iuda io na la, i aku la, Auwe, e kuu haku e! Ina e ae mai kuu haku i kana kauwa nei, ke hai aku i kekahi olelo ma kona pepeiao, aole hoi e wela mai kou huhu i kau kauwa, no ka mea, ua like oe me Parao.
19 My lord has asked his servants, saying, Do you have a father or brother?
Ninau mai la kuu haku i kau poe kauwa nei, i mai la, He makuakane anei ko oukou, a he kaikaina anei?
20 And we say to my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father has loved him.
A olelo aku la makou i kuu haku, He makuakane no ko makou, he kanaka kahiko, a me kahi keiki o kona wa elemakule, he mea nuku; a o kona kaikuaana, ua make ia, oia wale no ka i koe a kona makuwahine, a ua aloha kona makuakane ia ia.
21 And you say to your servants, Bring him down to me, and I set my eye on him;
A olelo mai la oe i kau poe kauwa, E lawe mai ia ia ilalo io'u nei, i ike aku kuu maka ia ia.
22 and we say to my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he has left his father, then he has died;
Alaila olelo aku la makou ia oe i kuu haku, Aole e hiki i ke keiki ke haalele i kona makuakane; no ka mea, ina e haalele ke keiki i kona makuakane, e make no ia.
23 and you say to your servants, If your young brother does not come down with you, you do not add to see my face.
A olelo mai la oe i kau poe kauwa, A i hele ole mai ko oukou kaikaina me oukou, aole oukou e ike hou mai i kuu maka.
24 And it comes to pass, that we have come up to your servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;
A hiki aku la makou i kau kauwa i ko'u makuakane, hai aku la makou ia ia i ka olelo a kuu haku.
25 and our father says, Return, buy for us a little food,
A olelo mai la ko makou makuakane, O hele hou oukou e kuai i wahi ai iki na kakou.
26 and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man’s face, and our young brother not with us.
Olelo aku makou, Aole loa makou e hiki ke hele ilalo; aka, i hele pu ko makou kaikaina me makou, alaila e hele aku makou ilalo, no ka mea, aole e hiki ia makou ke ike aku i ka maka o ua kanaka la, ke hele pu ole ko makou kaikaina me makou.
27 And your servant my father says to us, You have known that my wife bore two to me,
Alaila olelo mai la kau kauwa o ko'u makuakane ia makou, Ua ike oukou, ua hanau mai la ka'u wahine i na keiki elua na'u.
28 and one goes out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn—torn! And I have not seen him since;
A hele aku la kekahi mai o'u aku nei, a i aku la au, He oiaio no ua weluwelu ia; aole hoi au i ike hou aku ia ia.
29 when you have taken also this from my presence, and harm has met him, then you have brought down my grey hairs with evil to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
A i lawe aku oukou ia ia nei, mai o'u aku nei, a loohia ia i ka poino, alaila, e lawe aku oukou i ko'u oho hina ilalo i ka lua me ke kaniuhu. (Sheol h7585)
30 And now, at my coming to your servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),
No keia mea hoi, ke hiki aku au i kau kauwa i ko'u makuakane, aole ke keiki me makou, ua pai pu ia kona ola me ke ola o ke Keiki;
31 then it has come to pass, when he sees that the youth is not, that he has died, and your servants have brought down the grey hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol; (Sheol h7585)
A ike mai ia, aole ke keiki me makou, alaila, e make ia; a e lawe iho o kau poe kauwa i ke oho hina o kau kauwa o ko makou makuakane ilalo i ka lua me ke kaniuhu. (Sheol h7585)
32 for your servant obtained the youth by guarantee to my father, saying, If I do not bring him to you—then I have sinned against my father all the days.
No ka mea, ua hoohiki au ia'u iho no ke keiki i ko'u makuakane, ua i aku au, A i hoihoi ole mai au ia ia iou la, no'u mau loa aku no ka hewa imua o ko'u makuakane.
33 And now, please let your servant abide instead of the youth [as] a servant to my lord, and the youth goes up with his brothers,
No keia mea hoi, e ae mai oe ia'u i noho au, kau kauwa i panai no ke keiki, i kanwa na kuu haku; e hoi aku hoi ke keiki me kona poe kaikuaana.
34 for how do I go up to my father, and the youth not with me? Lest I look on the evil which finds my father.”
No ka mea, pehea la au e hoi aku ai i kuu makuakane, aole ke keiki me au? o ike auanei au i ka mea ino e hiki mai ana maluna o kuu makuakane.
