< Kinohi 45 >

1 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.
Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all those who stood before him, so he cried out, "Send everyone away from me." So no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
2 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.
And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the house of Pharaoh heard about it.
3 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.
Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?" But his brothers couldn't answer him, for they were terrified at his presence.
4 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.
Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." So they moved closer. And he said, "I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5 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.
Now do not be upset or angry with yourselves that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6 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.
For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there will be five more years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
7 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.
God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 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.
So now, it wasn't you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9 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.
Now hurry and go up to my father and tell him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Do not delay.
10 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.
You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, and your children's children, and your flocks, and your herds, and everything that you have.
11 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.
There I will provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, otherwise you and your household and all that you have would become destitute.
12 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.
Look, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.
13 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.
So you must tell my father about all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. But you must hurry and bring my father down here."
14 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.
Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.
15 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.
And he kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
16 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.
Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
17 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.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go. Enter the land of Canaan.
18 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.
Take your father and your families and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the richness of the land.'
19 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.
Now you are commanded, 'Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father and come.
20 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.
Also, do not worry about your possessions, for the best of all of the land of Egypt is yours."
21 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.
So the sons of Israel did that. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey.
22 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.
He gave to all of them, to each one, a change of clothing. But to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
23 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.
To his father he sent the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and food and provision for his father on the journey.
24 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.
So he sent his brothers off, and as they departed he said to them, "Do not be fearful on the journey."
25 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.
So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
26 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.
And they told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." But he was unmoved, because he did not believe them.
27 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.
But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
28 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.
Then Israel said, "I'm convinced. My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
