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.
And he commandeth him who [is] over his house, saying, 'Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to bear, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag;
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.
and my cup, the silver cup, thou dost put in the mouth of the bag of the young one, and his corn-money;' and he doth according to the word of Joseph which he hath spoken.
3 A ao ae la, ua hoihoiia'ku la ua poe kanaka la, a me ko lakou mau hoki.
The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away, they and their asses —
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?
they have gone out of the city — they have not gone far off — and Joseph hath said to him who [is] over his house, 'Rise, pursue after the men; and thou hast overtaken them, and thou hast said unto them, Why have ye recompensed 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 not this that with which my lord drinketh? and he observeth diligently with it; ye have done evil [in] that which ye have done.'
6 A hiki aku la ia io lakou la, olelo aku la ia ia lakou i keia mau olelo.
And he overtaketh them, and speaketh unto them these words,
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.
and they say unto him, 'Why doth my lord speak according to these words? far be it from thy servants to do according to this word;
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?
lo, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we brought back unto thee from the land of Canaan, and how do we steal from the house of thy lord 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 whomsoever of thy servants it is found, he hath died, and we also are to my lord for servants.'
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.
And he saith, 'Now, also, according to your words, so it [is]; he with whom it is found becometh my servant, and ye are acquitted;'
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.
and they hasten and take down each his bag to the earth, and each openeth his bag;
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.
and he searcheth — at the eldest he hath begun, and at the youngest he hath completed — and the cup is found in the bag of Benjamin;
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.
and they rend their garments, and each ladeth his ass, and they turn back 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.
And Judah — his brethren also — cometh in unto the house of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall before him to the earth;
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?
and Joseph saith to them, 'What [is] this deed that ye have done? have ye not known that a man like me doth diligently observe?'
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.
And Judah saith, 'What do we say to my lord? what do we speak? and what — do we justify ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants; lo, we [are] servants to my lord, both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath been 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.
and he saith, 'Far be it from me to do this; the man in whose hand the cup hath been found, he becometh my servant; and ye, go ye up in peace unto 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.
And Judah cometh nigh unto him, and saith, 'O, my lord, let thy servant speak, I pray thee, a word in the ears of my lord, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant — for thou art as 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 lord hath asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father or 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.
and we say unto my lord, We have a father, an aged one, and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and he is left alone of his mother, and his father hath loved 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.
'And thou sayest unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, and I set mine eye upon 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.
and we say unto my lord, The youth is not able to leave his father, when he hath left his father, then he hath died;
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.
and thou sayest unto thy servants, If your young brother come not down with you, ye add not to see my face.
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.
'And it cometh to pass, that we have come up unto thy servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord;
25 A olelo mai la ko makou makuakane, O hele hou oukou e kuai i wahi ai iki na kakou.
and our father saith, Turn back, buy for us a little 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.
and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able to see the man's face, and our young brother not 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.
'And thy servant my father saith unto us, Ye — ye have known that two did my wife bare to me,
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.
and the one goeth out from me, and I say, Surely he is torn — torn! 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)
when ye have taken also this from my presence, and mischief hath met him, then ye have brought down my grey hairs with evil 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;
'And now, at my coming in unto thy servant my father, and the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul),
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)
then it hath come to pass when he seeth that the youth is not, that he hath died, and thy servants have brought down the grey hairs of thy 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 thy servant obtained the youth by surety from my father, saying, If I bring him not in unto thee — then I have sinned against my father all the days.
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.
'And now, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the youth a servant to my lord, and the youth goeth up with his brethren,
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 do I go up unto my father, and the youth not with me? lest I look on the evil which doth find my father.'
