< Genesis 42 >

1 Now Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, so Jacob said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"
A IKE ae la o Iakoba, he ai ma Aigupita, olelo aku la o Iakoba i kana poe keikikane, O ke aha ka oukou e nana aku nei, kekahi i kekahi?
2 He said, "Look, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us from there, so that we may live and not die."
Olelo aku la ia, Aia hoi, ua lohe au, ho ai ma Aigupita, E iho aku oukou ilaila, e kuai i ai na kakou, i ola kakou, aole e make.
3 So Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
Hele aku la ka poe kaikuaana o Iosepa he umi ilalo i Aigupita e kuai i ai.
4 But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, "Some harm might happen to him."
A o Beniamina, ke kaikaina o Iosepa, aole o Iakoba i hoouna aku ia ia me kona poe kaikunana, no ka mea, i olelo iho la ia, O poino kela.
5 So the sons of Israel went to buy among the other travelers, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Hele pu ae la na keiki a Iseraela iwaena o ka poe hele, e kuai i ai, no ka mea, ua wi loa ka aina o Kanaana.
6 Now Joseph was the ruler over the country, and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the ground.
O Iosepa no ke kiaaina olaila, a nana no i kuai na na kanaka a pau o ia aina. Hele mai la ka poe kaikuaana o Iosepa, a kulou iho la lakou imua ona, me na maka i ka honua.
7 Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but he acted like he did not know them, and spoke harshly with them. And he said to them, "Where do you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."
A nana aku la o Iosepa i kona poe kaikuaana, ike ae la oia ia lakou, a hoohuahualau aku oia ia lakou, olelo koikoi aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la ia lakou, Nohea mai oukou? Olelo mai la lakou, No ka aina o Kanaana mai, e kuai i ai.
8 So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
Ua ike no o Iosepa i kona poe kaikuaana, aole nae lakou i ike ia ia.
9 Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies. You have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."
Hoomanao iho la o Iosepa i na moe ana i moe ai no lakou, i aku la oia ia lakou, He poe kiu oukou; ua hele mai oukou e nana i ka hemahema o ka aina.
10 But they said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
Olelo mai la lakou ia ia, Aole ia, e kuu haku. I hele mai kau poe kauwa e kuai i ai.
11 We are all sons of one man. We are honest men. Your servants are not spies."
He poe keiki makou a pau na ke kanaka hookahi; he poe kanaka pono, aole he poe kin makou o kau poe kauwa.
12 But he said to them, "No, but you have come to look for the vulnerabilities of the country."
Olelo aku la ia ia lakou, Aole, ua hele mai nei oukou e nana i ka hemahema o ka aina.
13 But they said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and look, the youngest is now with our father, and one is no more."
Olelo mai la lakou, O kau poe kauwa, he umi makou a me kumamalua o ko makou hanauna, na keiki a ke kanaka hookahi i ka aina o Kanaana, aia hoi ka muli loa i keia la me ka makuakane o makou, a o kekahi hoi, aole ia.
14 But Joseph said to them, "It is as I said to you, saying, 'You are spies.'
Olelo aku la o Iosepa ia lakou, Oia hoi ka'u i olelo aku nei ia oukou, he poe kiu oukou.
15 This is how you will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave from here until your youngest brother comes here.
I keia mea e ikea ai oukou, ma ke ola o Parao, aole oukou e hoi aku, ke hiki ole mai ko oukou kaikaina.
16 Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you will stay in prison, so that your words can be tested, whether there is truth in you. Or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies."
E hoouna ae i kekahi o oukou e kii i ko oukou kaikaina, a e paa oukou, i ikea ka oukou olelo a me ka pono io o oukou, aka, i ole, ma ke ola o Parao, he poe kiu io no oukou.
17 So he put all of them together in prison for three days.
A hoakoakoa mai la oia ia lakou a pau iloko o kahi paa, a ekolu la.
18 Then Joseph said to them the third day, "Do what I say, and live, for I fear God.
A i ka po akolu, olelo aku la o Iosepa ia lakou, E hana oukou i keia, i ola oukou; ua makau wau i ke Akua.
19 If you are honest, then let one of your brothers remain confined in your prison; but you go and carry grain for the hunger of your households.
Ina he poe kanaka pono oukou, e paaia kekahi o oukou i ka halepaahao: e hoi aku oukou e halihali i ai na ka wi o ko oukou mau hale:
20 But bring your youngest brother to me so that your words will be verified, and you won't die." To this they agreed.
A e lawe mai i ko oukou kaikaina io'u nei, pela e oiaio ai ka oukou olelo, alaila, aole oukou e make. Hana mai la lakou pela.
21 Then they said to one another, "We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, because we saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us, and we wouldn't listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us."
Olelo ae la lakou kekahi i kekahi, Ua hewa io kakou i ko kakou kaikaina, no ka mea, ua ike kakou i ka ehaeha o kona naau, i ka manawa ana i noi mai ai ia kakou, aole kakou i hoolohe aku; no ia mea, ua hiki mai keia popilikia io kakou nei.
22 Reuben answered them, saying, "Did I not tell you, saying, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you wouldn't listen? Therefore, look, now comes a reckoning for his blood."
A olelo aku la o Reubena ia lakou, i aku la, Aole anei au i olelo aku ia oukou, i ka i ana aku, Mai hana hewa aku i ke keiki? Aole oukou i hoolohe mai. Aia hoi, no ia mea, ua imiia mai ko ia la koko.
23 Now they did not know that Joseph could understand them, since he was speaking through an interpreter.
Aole i ike lakou ua lohe pono o Iosepa ia lakou, no ka mea, ua olelo aku oia ia lakou, ma ke kanaka hoohalike olelo.
24 He stepped away from them and wept. Then he returned to them and talked with them. Then he took Simeon from them and bound him in front of them.
Haliu aku la ia, mai o lakou la, a uwe iho la; haliu hou mai la oia ia lakou, kamailio pu me lakou, a lawe mai la oia ia Simeona, mai o lakou mai la, a hana paa iho la ia ia mamua o ko lakou mau maka.
25 Then Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, and to restore every man's silver into his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And it was done for them.
Alaila, kauoha aku la o Iosepa, e uhao i ka ai i na eke a lakou a piha, a e hoihoi i ka moni a lakou iloko o ka lakou mau eke, a e haawi aku i o na lakou no ke alanui. Pela oia i hana aku ai ia lakou.
26 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.
Hooili ae la lakou i ka ai iluna iho o ko lakou mau hoki, a hele aku la.
27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food at the lodging place, he saw his silver. Look, it was in the mouth of his sack.
A i ka wehe ana o kekahi i kana eke, e haawi aku i ai na kona hoki, ma kahi oioina, ike ae la ia i kana moni, no ka mea, aia hoi ia ma ka waha o kana eke.
28 He said to his brothers, "My silver has been returned. Look, it is in my sack." And they were dismayed, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"
A olelo aku la ia i kona poe hoahanau, E, ua hoihoiia mai ka'u moni; eia hoi ia iloko o ka'u eke. Hikilele iho la ko lakou naau, haalulu iho la lakou, i aku la kekahi i kekahi, Heaha keia mea a ke Akua i hana mai ai ia kakou?
29 Then they returned to their father Jacob to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying,
A hiki lakou io Iakoba la, i ko lakou makuakane i ka aina o Kanaana, hai aku la lakou ia ia i na mea a pau i loaa'i ia lakou; i aku la,
30 "The man, the lord of the country, spoke harshly to us, and he put us in custody as spies of the country.
O ke kanaka, ka haku o ka aina i olelo koikoi mai ai ia makou; ua kuhi mai kela ia makou, he poe kiu no ka aina.
31 But we said to him, 'We are honest men. We are not spies.
A olelo aku la makou ia ia, He poe pono makou; aohe makou he kiu.
32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in the land of Canaan.'
He poe hanauna makou, he umi a me kumamalua, na keiki a ko makou makuakane; aole kekahi, a o ka muli loa, aia no ia i keia la me ko makou makuakane, i ka aina o Kanaana.
33 The man, the lord of the country, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the hunger of your households, and go your way.
A o ke kanaka, ka haku o ka aina, olelo mai la ia makou, I keia mea e ikeia'i he poe kanaka pono oukou, E waiho mai oukou i kekahi hoahanau o oukou me au, a e lawe i ai na ka wi o ko oukou mau hale, a e hoi aku:
34 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you may travel in the land.'"
A e lawe mai oukou i ko oukou kaikaina io'u nei; alaila, ike au ia oukou, aohe kiu, he poe kanaka maikai no oukou; a e kuu aku au ia oukou i ko oukou hoahanau, a e kuai oukou iloko o keia aina.
35 Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that look, every man's bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.
A i ka ninini ana aku a lakou i ka lakou mau eke, aia hoi, iloko o na eke a lakou, ka lakou mau laulau moni a pau. A ike ae la lakou a me ko lakou makuakane i na laulau moni, makau nui iho la lakou.
36 Then their father Jacob said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All this has come against me."
A olelo mai la o Iakoba ko lakou makuakane ia lakou, Ua hoonele mai oukou ia'u i ka'u mau keiki. O Iosepa, aole ia, a o Simeona, aole ia, a e lawe aku ana oukou ia Beniamina. Ke pale mai nei keia mau mea a pau ia'u.
37 Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "Kill my two sons if I do not bring him to you. Put him in my care, and I will bring him back to you."
Olelo aku la o Reubena i kona makuakane, i aku la, E pepehi mai oe i ka'u mau keiki elua, ke hoihoi ole mai au ia ia nei iou la; e haawi mai oe ia ia nei i kuu lima, na'u ia e hoihoi hou mai iou la.
38 But he said, "My son will not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol." (Sheol h7585)
Olelo mai la ia, Aole e iho aku ka'u keiki me oukou ilaila, no ka mea, ua make kona kaikuaana, oia nei wale no koe: ina poino keia, ma ke alanui a oukou e hele ai, alaila, lawe iho oukou i ko'u oho hina i ka lua me ke kaniuhu. (Sheol h7585)
