Kinohi 42
1 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?
Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
2 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.
He said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die.”
3 Hele aku la ka poe kaikuaana o Iosepa he umi ilalo i Aigupita e kuai i ai.
Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4 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.
But Jacob didn’t send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; for he said, “Lest perhaps harm happen to him.”
5 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.
The sons of Israel came to buy amongst those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 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.
Joseph was the governor over the land. 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 earth.
7 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.
Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognised them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, “Where did you come from?” They said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”
8 Ua ike no o Iosepa i kona poe kaikuaana, aole nae lakou i ike ia ia.
Joseph recognised his brothers, but they didn’t recognise him.
9 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.
Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamt about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
10 Olelo mai la lakou ia ia, Aole ia, e kuu haku. I hele mai kau poe kauwa e kuai i ai.
They said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
11 He poe keiki makou a pau na ke kanaka hookahi; he poe kanaka pono, aole he poe kin makou o kau poe kauwa.
We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men. Your servants are not spies.”
12 Olelo aku la ia ia lakou, Aole, ua hele mai nei oukou e nana i ka hemahema o ka aina.
He said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land!”
13 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.
They said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is today with our father, and one is no more.”
14 Olelo aku la o Iosepa ia lakou, Oia hoi ka'u i olelo aku nei ia oukou, he poe kiu oukou.
Joseph said to them, “It is like I told you, saying, ‘You are spies!’
15 I keia mea e ikea ai oukou, ma ke ola o Parao, aole oukou e hoi aku, ke hiki ole mai ko oukou kaikaina.
By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go out from here, unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 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.
Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.”
17 A hoakoakoa mai la oia ia lakou a pau iloko o kahi paa, a ekolu la.
He put them all together into custody for three days.
18 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.
Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this, and live, for I fear God.
19 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:
If you are honest men, then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison; but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.
20 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.
Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, and you won’t die.” They did so.
21 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.
They said to one another, “We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we wouldn’t listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us.”
22 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.
Reuben answered them, saying, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘Don’t sin against the child,’ and you wouldn’t listen? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required.”
23 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.
They didn’t know that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.
24 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.
He turned himself away from them, and wept. Then he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from amongst them, and bound him before their eyes.
25 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.
Then Joseph gave a command to fill their bags with grain, and to restore each man’s money into his sack, and to give them food for the way. So it was done to them.
26 Hooili ae la lakou i ka ai iluna iho o ko lakou mau hoki, a hele aku la.
They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.
27 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.
As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.
28 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?
He said to his brothers, “My money is restored! Behold, it is in my sack!” Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 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,
They came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying,
30 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.
“The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.
31 A olelo aku la makou ia ia, He poe pono makou; aohe makou he kiu.
We said to him, ‘We are honest men. We are no spies.
32 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.
We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Canaan.’
33 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:
The man, the lord of the land, 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 famine of your houses, and go your way.
34 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.
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 shall trade in the land.’”
35 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.
As they emptied their sacks, behold, each man’s bundle of money was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.
36 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.
Jacob, their father, said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.”
37 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.
Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “Kill my two sons, if I don’t bring him to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him to you again.”
38 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)
He said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go, then you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
