Kinohi 37
1 NOHO aka la o Iakoba ma ka aina a kona makuakane i noho malihini ai, ma ka aina i Kanaana.
Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, in the land of Canaan.
2 Eia ka mooolelo no Iakoba. He umi ko Iosepa makahiki a me kumamahiku, e hanai ana oia i na holoholona me kona poe kaikuaana, e noho pu ana o ua keiki la me na keikikane a Bileha, a me na keikikane a Zilepa, na wahine a kona makuakane, a hai mai la o Iosepa i ka makuakane o lakou i ka lono ino o lakou.
This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.
3 Ua oi aku la ke aloha o Iseraela ia Iosepa mamua o kana mau keiki a pau, no ka mea, he keiki ia no kona wa elemakule: a hana iho la ia i kapakomo onionio nona.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a tunic of many colors.
4 A ike iho la kona poe kaikuaana i ke kela ana aku o ke aloha o ko lakou makuakane ia Iosepa mamua o kona poe hoahanau a pau, inaina aku la lakou ia Iosepa, aole i hiki ke olelo oluolu aku ia ia.
His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.
5 Moe iho la o Iosepa i ka moe, a hai aku la i kona poe kaikuaana, a nui hou mai la ko lakou inaina ana ia ia.
Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.
6 I aku la ia ia lakou, Ea, e hoolohe mai oukou i keia moe a'u i moe ai.
He said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:
7 Eia hoi, i ka pua ana a kakou i na pua, ma ka mahina ai, ala mai la ka'u pua, a kupono ae la iluna; a o ka oukou mau pua ka i ku poai mai la, a kulou iho la i ka'u pua.
for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf.”
8 Olelo mai la kona poe kaikuaana ia ia, E alii ana ka oe maluna o makou? O oe anei ka haku maluna o makou? Huhu nui aku la lakou ia ia i kana moe, a i kana olelo.
His brothers asked him, “Will you indeed reign over us? Will you indeed have dominion over us?” They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words.
9 A mahope aku, moe hou iho la ia i ka moe, a hai hou aku la i kona poe kaikuaana, i aku la, Eia hoi, ua moe hou iho nei au i ka moe; a ua kulou mai ia'u ka la, a me ka mahina, a me na hoku he umikumamakahi.
He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, “Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me.”
10 Hai aku la ia i kona makuakane, a i kona poe kaikuaana. Papa mai la kona makuakane, i mai la ia ia, Heaha keia moe au i moe ai? E hele anei au iou la, a me kou makuwahine, a me kou poe hoahanau, e kulou ilalo i ka honua imua ou?
He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to the earth before you?”
11 Huahuwa ae la kona poe kaikuaana ia ia, a malama iho la kona makuakane i ua olelo la.
His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.
12 Hele aku la kona poe kaikuaana i Sekema, e hanai i ka poe holoholona a ka makuakane o lakou.
His brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
13 Olelo aku la o Iseraela ia Iosepa, Aia paha kou poe kaikuaana e hanai holoholona ana ma Sekema? Auhea oe? E hoouna ana au ia oe io lakou la. I mai la kela ia ia, Eia no wau.
Israel said to Joseph, “Aren’t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” He said to him, “Here I am.”
14 I aku la oia ia ia, Ea, o hele oe e ike i ka pono o kou poe kaikuaana, a me ka pono o na holoholona, a e hai mai ia'u. Hoouna aka la oia ia ia, iwaho o ke awawa o Heberona, a hiki aku la ia i Sekema.
He said to him, “Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again.” So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15 A loaa ia i kekahi kanaka, aia hoi, ua hele hewa ia i ke kula. Ninau mai la ua kanaka la ia ia, i mai la, Heaha kau mea e imi nei?
A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 Olelo aku la ia, E imi ana au i ko'u poe kaikuaana: e hai mai oe ia'u i kahi a lakou e hanai ai i na holoholona.
He said, “I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock.”
17 Olelo mai la ia kanaka, Ua hala'ku la lakou: ua lohe au i ka olelo ana a lakou, E, e hele kakou i Dotana. Hahai aku la o Iosepa i kona poe kaikuaana, a loaa aku la lakou Dotana.
The man said, “They have left here, for I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.’” Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
18 A ike mai la lakou ia ia ma kahi loihi aku, aole ia i lihi koke mai, ohumu iho la lakou ia ia, e make ia.
They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
19 Olelo ae la lakou i kekahi i kekahi, Eia'e ka mea nana na moe, ke hele mai nei.
They said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.
20 Ina kakou e pepehi ia ia a make loa, e hoolei ia ia iloko o kahi lua, a e olelo aku kakou, Na ka ilio hihiu ia i ai; alaila, e ike kakou i ka hope o kana mau moe.
Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”
21 A lohe ae la o Reubena, hoola ae la oia ia ia, mai ko lakou lima ae; i ae la, Mai pepehi kakou ia ia.
Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, “Let’s not take his life.”
22 Olelo aku la o Reubena ia lakou, Mai hookahe i ke koko; e hoolei ia ia iloko o keia hua o ka aina waonahele. Mai kau i ka lima maluna ona. Manao iho la ia e hoopakele ia ia, mai ko lakou lima ae, a e hoihoi aku ia ia i kona makuakane.
Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
23 A hiki aku la o Iosepa i kona poe kaikuaana, hao ae la lakou i ko Iosepa kapa, o ke kapa onionio maluna ona;
When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him;
24 Lalau ae la lakou ia ia, hoolei aku la ia ia iloko o ka lua. Ua kaawale ka lua, aole he wai oloko.
and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.
25 A noho iho la lakou e ai i ka ai. Alawa'e la ko lakou maka, ike aku la, aia hoi kekahi poe mamo a Isemaela, e hele mai ana, mai Gileada mai, me ko lakou mau kamelo, ua kaumaha i ka mea ala, a me ka bama, a me ka mura, e lawe hele ana i Aigupita.
They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26 Olelo aku la o Inda i kona poe hoahanau, Heaha ka maikai, ke pepehi kakou i ko kakou kaikaina, a huna i kona koko?
Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
27 Ina kakou e kuai aku ia ia i ka Isemaela; mai kau ko kakou lima maluna ona; no ka mea, o ko kakou kaikaina no ia, a me ko kakou io. A hoolohe mai la kona poe hoahanau ia ia.
Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him.
28 Hele ae la ua poe kanaka kuai la, no Midiana, huki mai la lakou, a hapai ae la ia Iosepa, mai loko mai o ka lua, a kuai aku la ia ia, i ka Isemaela, i na hapakala, he iwakalua. A lawe ae la lakou ia Iosepa i Aigupita.
Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The merchants brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 A hoi mai la o Reubena i ka lua, aia hoi, aole o Iosepa iloko o ka lua: haehae iho la ia i kona kapa.
Reuben returned to the pit, and saw that Joseph wasn’t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
30 A hoi aku la ia i kona poe hoahanau, i aku la, Aole loa ke keiki; a o wau, ihea la wau e hele ai?
He returned to his brothers, and said, “The child is no more; and I, where will I go?”
31 Lawe ae la lakou i ke kapa o Iosepa, pepehi iho la lakou i ke kao keiki, a kupenu iho la i ke kapa i ke koko.
They took Joseph’s tunic, and killed a male goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood.
32 Hoouka aku la lakou i ua kapa onionio la, a hiki i ko lakou makuakane; i aku la, Ua loaa mai keia ia makou: e nana oe, o ke kapa paha o kau keiki, aole paha.
They took the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this. Examine it, now, and see if it is your son’s tunic or not.”
33 Ike mai la kela, i mai la, Oia, o ke kapa no ia o ka'u keiki; ua pau o Iosepa i ka ilio hihiu, oiaio no, ua haehaeia o Iosepa.
He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.”
34 Haehae iho la o Iseraela i kona kapa, kaei ae la i ke kapa inoino ma kona puhaka, a kanikau iho la ia i kana keiki a nui na la.
Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
35 Ku mai la kana mau keikikane a pau, a me kana mau kaikamahine a pau, e hoonana ia ia. Hoole aku la kela, aole e na: i aku la, E kanikau no au, a hiki au ilalo i ka lua i kuu keiki la. Pela i uwe ai kona makuakane ia ia. (Sheol h7585)
All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, “For I will go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” His father wept for him. (Sheol h7585)
36 A kuai aku la ko Midiana ia ia i Aigupita, ia Potipara, he luna na Parao, oia ka luna o ka poe koa.
The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, the captain of the guard.
