Kinohi 44

1 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.

Joseph commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's opening.

2 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.

Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's opening of the youngest, and also his money for the grain.” The steward did as Joseph had said.

3 A ao ae la, ua hoihoiia'ku la ua poe kanaka la, a me ko lakou mau hoki.

The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

4 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?

When they were out of the city but were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Get up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you returned evil for good?

5 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.

Is this not the cup from which my master drinks, and the cup that he uses for divination? You have done evil, this thing that you have done.'”

6 A hiki aku la ia io lakou la, olelo aku la ia ia lakou i keia mau olelo.

The steward overtook them and spoke these words to them.

7 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.

They said to him, “Why does my master speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they would do such a thing.

8 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?

Look, the money that we found in our sacks' openings, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then could we steal out of your master's house silver or gold?

9 A i ikeia ia mea i kekahi o kou poe kauwa, e make ia, a e lilo makou i poe kauwa na kou haku.

With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my master's slaves.”

10 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.

The steward said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom the cup is found will be my slave, and you others will be innocent.”

11 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.

Then each man hurried and brought his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

12 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.

The steward searched. He began with the oldest and finished with the youngest, and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

13 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.

Then they tore their clothes. Each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.

14 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.

Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house. He was still there, and they bowed before him to the ground.

15 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?

Joseph said to them, “What is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me practices divination?”

16 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.

Judah said, “What can we say to my master? What can we speak? Or how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Look, we are my master's slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup was found.”

17 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.

Joseph said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup was found, that person will be my slave, but as for you others, go up in peace to your father.”

18 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.

Then Judah came near to him and said, “My master, please let your servant speak a word in my master's ears, and do let your anger burn against your servant, for you are just like Pharaoh.

19 Ninau mai la kuu haku i kau poe kauwa nei, i mai la, He makuakane anei ko oukou, a he kaikaina anei?

My master asked his servants, saying, 'Do you have a father or a brother?'

20 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.

We said to my master, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one. But his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.'

21 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.

Then you said to your servants, 'Bring him down to me that I may see him.'

22 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.

After that, we said to my master, 'The boy cannot leave his father. For if he should leave his father his father would die.'

23 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.

Then you said to your servants, 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'

24 A hiki aku la makou i kau kauwa i ko'u makuakane, hai aku la makou ia ia i ka olelo a kuu haku.

Then it came about when we went up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my master.

25 A olelo mai la ko makou makuakane, O hele hou oukou e kuai i wahi ai iki na kakou.

Our father said, 'Go again, buy us some food.'

26 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.

Then we said, 'We cannot go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then will we go down, for we will not be able to see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'

27 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.

Your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons.

28 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.

One of them went out from me and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces, and I have not seen him since.”

29 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)

Now if you also take this one from me, and harm comes to him, you will bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.' (Sheol h7585)

30 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;

Now, therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the boy's life,

31 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)

it will come about, when he sees the boy is not with us, he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

32 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.

For your servant became a guarantee for the boy to my father and said, 'If I do not bring him to you, then I will bear the guilt to my father forever.'

33 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.

Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy as slave to my master, and let the boy go up with his brothers.

34 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.

For how can I go up to my father if the boy is not with me? I am afraid to see the evil that would come on my father.”
