< Genesis 42 >
1 Audiens autem Jacob quod alimenta venderentur in Ægypto, dixit filiis suis: Quare negligitis?
Pea kuo mamata ʻe Sēkope ʻoku ai ʻae koane ʻi ʻIsipite, pea pehē ʻe Sēkope ki hono ngaahi foha, “Ko e hā ʻoku mou fesiofaki ai?
2 audivi quod triticum venundetur in Ægypto: descendite, et emite nobis necessaria, ut possimus vivere, et non consumamur inopia.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, Vakai, kuo u fanongo ʻoku ai ʻae koane ʻi ʻIsipite: mou ʻalu ki ai, pea mou fakatau maʻatautolu mei ai; koeʻuhi ke tau moʻui, kae ʻikai mate.”
3 Descendentes igitur fratres Joseph decem, ut emerent frumenta in Ægypto,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ki ʻIsipite ke fakatau koane, ʻae ngaahi taʻokete ʻe toko hongofulu ʻo Siosefa.
4 Benjamin domi retento a Jacob, qui dixerat fratribus ejus: Ne forte in itinere quidquam patiatur mali:
Ka ko Penisimani ko e tehina ʻo Siosefa, naʻe ʻikai tuku ia ʻe Sēkope ke ʻalu mo hono ngaahi taʻokete; he naʻa ne pehē; Telia naʻa tō ha kovi kiate ia.
5 ingressi sunt terram Ægypti cum aliis qui pergebant ad emendum. Erat autem fames in terra Chanaan.
Pea haʻu ʻae ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsileli ke fakatau ʻae koane mo kinautolu naʻe haʻu; he naʻe lahi ʻae honge ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani.
6 Et Joseph erat princeps in terra Ægypti, atque ad ejus nutum frumenta populis vendebantur. Cumque adorassent eum fratres sui,
Pea naʻe pule pe ʻa Siosefa ʻi he fonua, pea ko ia pe naʻe fakatau ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; pea haʻu ʻae ngaahi taʻokete ʻo Siosefa, ʻo nau tulolo mo honau mata ki he kelekele, ʻi hono ʻao.
7 et agnovisset eos, quasi ad alienos durius loquebatur, interrogans eos: Unde venistis? Qui responderunt: De terra Chanaan, ut emamus victui necessaria.
Pea mamata ʻa Siosefa ki hono ngaahi taʻokete, ʻo ne ʻilo ʻakinautolu, ka naʻe mata kehe ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne lea mālohi kiate kinautolu: pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mou haʻu mei fē?” Pea nau talaange, “Mei he fonua ko Kēnani, ke fakatau meʻakai.”
8 Et tamen fratres ipse cognoscens, non est cognitus ab eis.
Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Siosefa hono ngaahi taʻokete, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ia.
9 Recordatusque somniorum, quæ aliquando viderat, ait ad eos: Exploratores estis: ut videatis infirmiora terræ venistis.
Pea naʻe manatu ʻe Siosefa ki he ngaahi misi naʻa ne misi ʻaki kiate kinautolu, pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “Ko e kau mataki ʻakinautolu; kuo mou haʻu ke mamata ki he telefua ʻoe fonua.”
10 Qui dixerunt: Non est ita, domine, sed servi tui venerunt ut emerent cibos.
Pea nau talaange kiate ia, “ʻEiki ʻoku ʻikai, ka kuo haʻu ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ke fakatau meʻakai.
11 Omnes filii unius viri sumus: pacifici venimus, nec quidquam famuli tui machinantur mali.
Ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata pe taha ʻakimautolu kotoa pē: ko e kau tangata moʻoni ʻakimautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ko e kakai mataki ʻa hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki.”
12 Quibus ille respondit: Aliter est: immunita terræ hujus considerare venistis.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻIkai, ka kuo mou haʻu ke mamata ki he telefua ʻoe fonua.”
13 At illi: Duodecim, inquiunt, servi tui, fratres sumus, filii viri unius in terra Chanaan: minimus cum patre nostro est, alius non est super.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki, ko e kāinga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe tangata pe taha ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani; pea vakai, ko e kimui, ʻoku ʻi he ʻemau tamai he ʻaho ni, pea ko e tokotaha kuo ʻikai.”
14 Hoc est, ait, quod locutus sum: exploratores estis.
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia ia naʻaku lea ai kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, ko e kau mataki ʻakinautolu.
15 Jam nunc experimentum vestri capiam: per salutem Pharaonis non egrediemini hinc, donec veniat frater vester minimus.
E ʻahiʻahi kiate kimoutolu ʻaki ʻae meʻa ni; hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Felo, ʻe ʻikai te mou ʻalu ʻi heni, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai haʻu ki heni homou tehina.
16 Mittite ex vobis unum, et adducat eum: vos autem eritis in vinculis, donec probentur quæ dixistis utrum vera an falsa sint: alioquin per salutem Pharaonis exploratores estis.
Fekau homou tokotaha ke ne ʻalu ʻo ʻomi homou tehina, pea ʻe nofo pōpula ʻakinautolu, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ki hoʻomou ngaahi lea, pe ʻoku ai ha moʻoni ʻiate kimoutolu; ka ka ʻikai, hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Felo, ko e kau mataki ʻakinautolu.”
17 Tradidit ergo illos custodiæ tribus diebus.
Pea naʻa ne tuku fakataha ʻakinautolu ki he fale fakapōpula, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tolu.
18 Die autem tertio eductis de carcere, ait: Facite quæ dixi, et vivetis: Deum enim timeo.
Pea pehē ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, “Mou fai eni, pea mou moʻui he ʻoku ou manavahē ki he ʻOtua;
19 Si pacifici estis, frater vester unus ligetur in carcere: vos autem abite, et ferte frumenta quæ emistis, in domos vestras,
Kapau ko e kau tangata angatonu ʻakinautolu, tuku ke haʻi homou tokotaha ʻi he fale ʻo homou pōpula: ka mou ʻalu ʻo fetuku ʻae koane telia ʻae honge ʻi homou ngaahi fale.
20 et fratrem vestrum minimum ad me adducite, ut possim vestros probare sermones, et non moriamini. Fecerunt ut dixerat,
Ka mou ʻomi homou tehina kiate au; ko ia ʻe fakamoʻoni ai hoʻomou ngaahi lea, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou mate. Pea naʻa nau fai ia.”
21 et locuti sunt ad invicem: Merito hæc patimur, quia peccavimus in fratrem nostrum, videntes angustiam animæ illius, dum deprecaretur nos, et non audivimus: idcirco venit super nos ista tribulatio.
Pea naʻa nau fealēleaʻaki ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku tau kovi ko e meʻa ʻi hotau tehina, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻetau mamata ki he feinga ʻa hono laumālie, ʻi heʻene fakakole kiate kitautolu, ka naʻe ʻikai te tau fie tokanga kiate ia; ko ia kuo tō ai ʻae mamahi ni kiate kitautolu.”
22 E quibus unus Ruben, ait: Numquid non dixi vobis: Nolite peccare in puerum: et non audistis me? en sanguis ejus exquiritur.
Pea lea ʻa Lupeni kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “ʻIkai ne u lea kiate kimoutolu, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa mou fai hala ki he tamasiʻi, ka naʻe ʻikai te mou tokanga? Ko ia, vakai, ʻoku ʻeke foki ʻae totongi ʻo hono toto.”
23 Nesciebant autem quod intelligeret Joseph, eo quod per interpretem loqueretur ad eos.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻoku ʻilo ʻe Siosefa ʻenau lea; he naʻe lea ia kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻae tangata hiki lea.
24 Avertitque se parumper, et flevit: et reversus locutus est ad eos.
Pea naʻe foki atu ia ʻiate kinautolu ʻo tangi; pea toe haʻu ia kiate kinautolu, ke nau alea, pea naʻa ne toʻo ʻa Simione ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo haʻi ia ʻi honau ʻao.
25 Tollensque Simeon, et ligans illis præsentibus, jussit ministris ut implerent eorum saccos tritico, et reponerent pecunias singulorum in sacculis suis, datis supra cibariis in viam: qui fecerunt ita.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻa Siosefa ke fakafonu ʻenau ngaahi tangai ʻi he koane, pea ke toe ai ki he tangai ʻae tangata taki taha, ʻene paʻanga, pea ke tuku kiate kinautolu ʻae ʻoho ke kai ʻi he hala; pea naʻe fai pehē ia kiate kinautolu.
26 At illi portantes frumenta in asinis suis, profecti sunt.
Pea naʻa nau fakaheka ʻae koane ki heʻenau fanga asi, pea nau ʻalu.
27 Apertoque unus sacco, ut daret jumento pabulum in diversorio, contemplatus pecuniam in ore sacculi,
Pea ʻi he toʻo ʻe honau tokotaha ʻene tangai ke ʻatu ʻae meʻakai ki heʻene ʻasi ʻi he fale talifononga, naʻe ʻilo ʻe ia ʻene ngaahi paʻanga; he vakai naʻe ʻi he ngutu ʻoe tangai ia.
28 dixit fratribus suis: Reddita est mihi pecunia, en habetur in sacco. Et obstupefacti, turbatique, mutuo dixerunt: Quidnam est hoc quod fecit nobis Deus?
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Kuo toe ʻomi ʻeku ngaahi paʻanga; he vakai, ʻoku ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻeku tangai;” pea naʻe vaivai ai honau loto, pea nau manavahē, ʻo fepehēʻaki, “Ko e hā eni kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kitautolu?”
29 Veneruntque ad Jacob patrem suum in terram Chanaan, et narraverunt ei omnia quæ accidissent sibi, dicentes:
Pea naʻa nau haʻu kia Sēkope ko e nau tamai ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae meʻa kotoa pē naʻe hoko kiate kinautolu; ʻo pehē,
30 Locutus est nobis dominus terræ dure, et putavit nos exploratores esse provinciæ.
“Ko e tangata ʻoku ʻeiki ʻi he fonua, naʻe lea mālohi kiate kimautolu, ʻo pehē, Ko e kau mataki ʻakinautolu ki he fonua.
31 Cui respondimus: Pacifici sumus, nec ullas molimur insidias.
Pea mau tala kiate ia, ko e kau tangata moʻoni ʻakimautolu; ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau mataki ʻakimautolu.
32 Duodecim fratres uno patre geniti sumus: unus non est super, minimus cum patre nostro est in terra Chanaan.
Ko e kāinga ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua ʻakimautolu, ko e ngaahi foha ʻoe mau tamai, ko e tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai, pea ko e kimui ʻoku ʻi he ʻemau tamai he ʻaho ni, ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani.”
33 Qui ait nobis: Sic probabo quod pacifici sitis: fratrem vestrum unum dimittite apud me, et cibaria domibus vestris necessaria sumite, et abite,
Pea ko e tangata, ko e ʻeiki ʻoe fonua, naʻe pehē kiate kimautolu, “Te u ʻilo ʻi he meʻa ni, pe ko e kau tangata moʻoni ʻakinautolu; tuku mai homou tokoua ʻe tokotaha kiate au, pea mou ʻave ʻae meʻakai ki he honge ʻo homau ngaahi fale, pea mou ʻalu;
34 fratremque vestrum minimum adducite ad me, ut sciam quod non sitis exploratores: et istum, qui tenetur in vinculis, recipere possitis: ac deinceps quæ vultis, emendi habeatis licentiam.
Pea mou ʻomi ki heni, homou tehina: ko ia te u ʻilo ai, ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau mataki ʻakinautolu, ka ko e kau tangata moʻoni: pea te u toe tuku ai kiate kimoutolu homou tokoua, pea te mou fakatau ʻi he fonua ni.”
35 His dictis, cum frumenta effunderent, singuli repererunt in ore saccorum ligatas pecunias, exterritisque simul omnibus,
Pea ʻi heʻenau lingi ʻenau ngaahi tangai, pea nau vakai, naʻe ʻilo taki taha ʻae tangata ʻene kato paʻanga ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene tangai: pea kuo mamata ʻakinautolu mo e nau tamai ki he ngaahi kato paʻanga, naʻa nau manavahē.
36 dixit pater Jacob: Absque liberis me esse fecistis: Joseph non est super, Simeon tenetur in vinculis, et Benjamin auferetis: in me hæc omnia mala reciderunt.
Pea pehē ʻe Sēkope ko e nau tamai kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fakamasiva au ʻi heʻeku fānau; kuo ʻikai ʻa Siosefa, pea kuo ʻikai mo Simione, pea te mou toe ʻave mo Penisimani; ʻoku kovi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate au.”
37 Cui respondit Ruben: Duos filios meos interfice, si non reduxero illum tibi: trade illum in manu mea, et ego eum tibi restituam.
Pea lea ʻa Lupeni ki heʻene tamai, ʻo pehē, “Tāmateʻi hoku foha ʻe toko ua, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te u toe ʻomi ia kiate koe; tuku mai ia ki hoku nima, pea te u toe ʻomi ia kiate koe.”
38 At ille: Non descendet, inquit, filius meus vobiscum: frater ejus mortuus est, et ipse solus remansit: si quid ei adversi acciderit in terra ad quam pergitis, deducetis canos meos cum dolore ad inferos. (Sheol )
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “E ʻikai ʻalu hifo hoku foha mo kimoutolu, he kuo mate hono tokoua, pea ʻoku toe tokotaha pe ia; pea kapau ʻe hoko ha kovi kiate ia ʻi he hala ʻoku mou ʻalu ai, te mou ʻomi hoku ʻuluhinā ki he faʻitoka ʻi he mamahi.” (Sheol )
