Genesis 45
1 Joseph was not able to control his feelings any longer. He did not want to cry in front of his servants, so he said to them loudly, “All of you go outside!” After they went outside, there was no one else there with Joseph when he told his brothers who he was.
A LAILA aole e hiki ia Iosepa ke uumi iho i ke aloha iloko ona imua o lakou a pau, o ka poe i ku pu mai la me ia: a hea aku la ia, E hele aku na kanaka a pau iwaho, mai o'u aku nei. Aole i noho mai kekahi kanaka me ia, i ka manawa a Iosepa i hoike ai ia ia iho i kona poe hoahanau.
2 He cried so loudly that the people of Egypt who were outside heard it, and even the people in the king’s palace heard it.
Hooho ae la ia i kona leo me ka uwe nui ana: a lohe ae la na kanaka o Aigupita a lohe pu no ko ka hale o Parao.
3 Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is our father still alive?” But his brothers were not able to reply, because they were frightened because of what he said.
Olelo aku la o Iosepa i kona poe hoahanau, Owau no o Iosepa; ke ola la no anei ko'u makuakane? Aole i hiki ke ekemu iki mai kona poe hoahanau ia ia: no ka mea, makau nui iho lakou imua ona.
4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me!” When they came closer, he said, “I am your brother Joseph! I am the one you sold to traders who brought me here to Egypt!
A olelo aku la o Iosepa i kona poe hoahanau, E neenee mai oukou io'u nei. A neenee mai la lakou. Olelo aku la ia, Owau no o Iosepa, ko oukou kaikaina a oukou i kuai ai iloko o Aigupita.
5 But now, do not be distressed, and do not be angry with yourselves for having sold me to people who brought me here, because it was to save you from dying [because of the famine] that God sent me here ahead of you.
Eia hoi, mai hookaumaha oukou, aole hoi e huhu oukou ia oukou iho i ka oukou kuai ana ia'u ia nei. No ka mea, na ke Akua au i hoouna mai mamua o oukou e hoola aku.
6 There has been a famine in this country for two years, and it will continue for five more years, so that no one will plow ground, and there will be no crops to harvest.
No ka mea, ua wi ae nei ka aina i keia mau makahiki elua; a elima hoi makahiki e koe, aole e mahi, aole hoi e ohi mai.
7 But God sent me here ahead of you, to keep you from starving, and to make sure that your descendants will survive.
A ua hoouna mai ke Akua ia'u mamua o oukou, e hookoe aku ia oukou ma ka honua, a e hoola ia oukou i ke ola nui.
8 Therefore, it was not you who sent me here; it was God who sent me here! He has caused me to become like a father to the king. I am in charge of everything in his palace and the governor of everyone in Egypt!
Aia hoi, aole na oukou i hoouna mai au ia nei, na ke Akua no, a ua hoolilo ae ia ia'u i makuakane no Parao, a i haku no kona hale a pau, a i kiaaina no Aigupita a pau.
9 Now return to my father quickly, and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: “God has caused me to become the governor over the whole land of Egypt. Come down to me immediately!
E wikiwiki oukou, e hoi aku i ko'u makuakane, a e i aku ia ia, Penei i olelo mai ai kau keiki o Iosepa, Ua hoolilo mai ke Akua ia'u, i haku no ka aina o Aigupita a pau; e hele mai oe ilalo io'u nei, mai hookaulua aku oe.
10 You can live in the Goshen region. You and your children and your grandchildren, your sheep and goats and cattle, and everything that you own, will be near me.
A e noho oe ma ka aina o Gosena, a e kokoke mai oe me au, o oe, a me kau poe keiki, a me kau poe moopuna, a o kau poe hipa a me kau poe holoholona a me kou mea a pau loa.
11 Since there will be five more years of famine, I will make sure that you have food. If you do not come here, you and your family and all of your servants will starve. [EUP]”’
Ilaila au e malama'i ia oe: no ka mea, elima makahiki wi a koe; o ilihune oe, a me ko ka hale ou, a me kau mau mea a pau.
12 “Look closely, and all of you can see, including my brother Benjamin, that it is really I, Joseph, who am speaking to you.
Aia hoi, ua ike ko oukou mau maka, a me ka maka o ko'u kaikaina, o Beniamina, o ko'u waha no ka i olelo aku ia oukou.
13 Go and tell my father about how greatly I am honored here in Egypt. And tell him about everything else that you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly!”
A e hai aku oukou i ko'u makuakane i kuu hanohano a pau ma Aigupita nei, a i na mea a pau a oukou i ike ai: a e wikiwiki oukou e lawe mai i ko'u makuakane ilalo.
14 Then he threw his arms around his [younger] brother Benjamin’s neck and cried. And Benjamin hugged him and cried.
Kau iho la ia ma ka a-i o kona kaikaina, o Beniamina, a uwe iho la; a uwe iho la hoi o Beniamina ma kona a-i.
15 And then as he kissed his older brothers [on their cheeks], he cried. After that, his brothers started to talk with him.
Honi aku la o Iosepa i kona poe hoahanau a pau, a uwe iho la iluna o lakou. A mahope iho o ia mea, kamailio pu kona poe hoahanau me ia.
16 Someone went to the palace and told the news that Joseph’s brothers had come. The king and all his officials were pleased.
Lohea iho la keia mea ma ka hale o Parao, oleloia iho la, Ua hiki mai na hoahanau o Iosepa. Ua pono hoi ia i na maka o Parao, a i na maka o kana poe kauwa.
17 The king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers this: ‘Put loads of grain on your animals and return to the Canaan region.
Olelo mai la o Parao ia Iosepa, E i aku oe i kou poe hoahanau, E hana peneia, e kau i ko oukou mea ma na hoki a hoi aku a hiki i ka aina o Kanaana.
18 Then bring your father and your families back here. I will give you the best land in Egypt, and you will have the best food in the land to eat.’
E kii i ko oukou makuakane, a me na mea o ko oukou hale, a e hele mai io'u nei, a na'u no e haawi aku na oukou i ka maikai o ka aina o Aigupita, a e ai hoi oukou i ka momona o ka aina.
19 “Also tell this to your brothers: ‘Take some carts from Egypt to carry your children and your wives, and get them and your father and come back here quickly.
Ua kauohaia oe, e hana hoi i keia, E lawe i mau kaa no oukou, mai ka aina o Aigupita aku, no ka oukou kamalii a no ka oukou wahine, a e kii i ko oukou makuakane, a e hele mai.
20 Do not worry about bringing your possessions, because the best things in Egypt will be yours. Because of that, you will not need to bring any of your things from Canaan.’”
Mai aua ko oukou mau maka ma ko oukou mea a pau; no ka mea, no oukou ka maikai o ka aina a pau ma Aigupita.
21 Jacob’s sons did what the king suggested. Joseph gave them carts and food to eat along the way, as the king had ordered.
A hana iho la na keiki a Iseraela pela; a haawi aku la o Iosepa ia lakou i mau kaa e like me ka olelo a Parao, a haawi no hoi i o na lakou ma ke ala.
22 To each of them he gave new clothes, but he gave 300 pieces of silver and five sets of new clothes to Benjamin!
Haawi aku la hoi ia i kapa komo no lakou a pau; a ia Beniamina, haawi aku la oia ia ia, i ekolu haneri moni, a me na kapa komo elima.
23 And this is what he sent to his father: Ten male donkeys, loaded with some of the best goods that come from Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other food for his father’s trip to Egypt.
A hoouna aku la ia no kona makuakane, he umi na hoki e lawe ana i na mea maikai o Aigupita, a he umi na hoki wahine, e lawe ana i ka palaoa a me ka ai i o na kona makuakane ma ke alanui.
24 Then he sent his brothers on their way, saying to them “Do not quarrel along the way!”
Pela hoi i hoouna aku ai oia i kona poe hoahanau, a hoi aku la lakou. Olelo aku ia ia lakou, Mai paio oukou ma ke alanui.
25 So they left Egypt and came to their father Jacob in Canaan.
A hoi aku la lakou, mai waho mai o Aigupita, a hiki aku la i ka aina o Kanaana, ia Iakoba, i ko lakou makuakane.
26 One of them told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is the governor over all of Egypt!” Jacob was extremely astonished; he could not believe that it was true.
A hai aku la lakou ia ia, i aku la, E, ke ola la no o Iosepa, oia ke kiaaina o ka aina o Aigupita a pau. A maule iho la ko Iakoba naau, no ka mea, aole kela i manaoio i ka.
27 But they told him everything that Joseph had said to them, and Jacob saw the carts that Joseph had sent to carry him and his family and possessions to Egypt. Then their father Jacob’s shock ended.
Alaila, hai aku la lakou ia ia i ka olelo a pau a Iosepa i olelo mai ai ia lakou. A ike aku la ia i na kaa a Iosepa i hoouna mai ai e lawe ia ia, pohala iho la ka naau o ko lakou makuakane.
28 He said, “What you have said is enough to convince me! My son Joseph is still alive, and I will go and see him before I die!”
A olelo aku la Iseraela, Ua nui ia, na ola o Iosepa kuu keiki; e hele aku au e ike ia ia mamua o kuu make ana.
