Kenehi 42
1 Na ka kite a Hakopa he witi kei Ihipa, ka mea a Hakopa ki ana tama, He aha koutou i tirotiro ai ki a koutou ano?
When Iacob sawe that there was corne to be solde in Egipte he sayde vnto his sones: why are ye negligent?
2 I mea ano ia, Nana, kua rongo ahau he witi kei Ihipa: haere iho ki reira, ki te hoko i tetahi ma tatou i reira; kia ora ai tatou, kei mate.
beholde I haue hearde that there is corne to be solde in Egipte. Gete you thither and bye vs corne fro thece that we maye lyue and not dye.
3 Na ka haere nga tuakana kotahi tekau o Hohepa ki raro, ki Ihipa, ki te hoko witi.
So went Iosephs ten brethern doune to bye corne in Egipte
4 Ko Pineamine ia, teina o Hohepa, kihai i tonoa e Hakopa i roto i ona tuakana; i mea hoki ia, Kei pono tetahi aitua ki a ia.
for Ben Iamin Iosephs brother wold not Iacob sende with his other brethren: for he sayde: some mysfortune myght happen him
5 A ka haere nga tama a Iharaira ki te hoko i roto i te hunga i haere: he matekai hoki to te whenua o Kanaana.
And the sonnes of Israell came to bye corne amonge other that came for there was derth also in the lande of Canaan.
6 Na ko Hohepa te kawana o te whenua, ko ia te kaihoko ki nga tangata katoa o te whenua: na ka haere mai nga tuakana o Hohepa, a ka piko o ratou kanohi ki te whenua i tona aroaro.
And Ioseph was gouerner in the londe and solde corne to all the people of the londe. And his brethren came and fell flatt on the grounde before him.
7 A, i te kitenga o Hohepa i ona tuakana, ka mohio ia ki a ratou, otiia ka whakatangata ke ia ki a ratou, ka korero whakatuma ki a ratou; ka mea hoki ki a ratou, I haere mai koutou i hea? A ka mea ratou, I te whenua o Kanaana, ki te hoko kai.
When Ioseph sawe his brethern he knewe them: But made straunge vnto them and spake rughly vnto them saynge: Whence come ye? and they sayde: out of the lande of Canaan to bye vitayle.
8 A i mohio a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, ko ratou ia kihai i mohio ki a ia.
Ioseph knewe his brethern but they knewe not him.
9 Na ka mahara a Hohepa ki nga moe i moe ai ia mo ratou, a ka mea ki a ratou, He tutei koutou; he whakataki i te wateatanga o te whenua i haere mai ai koutou.
And Ioseph remembred his dreames which he dreamed of them and sayde vnto them: ye are spies and to se where the lande is weake is youre comynge.
10 A ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kahore, e toku ariki, engari i haere mai au pononga ki te hoko kai.
And they sayde vnto him: nay my lorde: but to bye vitayle thy seruauntes are come.
11 He tama katoa matou na te tangata kotahi; he hunga pono matou, ehara au pononga i te tutei.
We are all one mans sonnes and meane truely and thy seruauntes are no spies.
12 A ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kahore, engari he whakataki i te wateatanga o te whenua i haere mai ai koutou.
And he sayde vnto them: nay verely but euen to se where the land is weake is youre comynge.
13 A ka mea ratou, Kotahi tekau ma rua au pononga, he teina, he tuakana matou, he tama na te tangata kotahi, no te whenua o Kanaana; ko te whakaotinga kei to matou papa inaianei, ko tetahi kua kahore.
And they sayde: we thi seruauntes are. xij. brethern the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan. The yongest is yet with oure father and one no man woteth where he is.
14 Na ko te meatanga a Hohepa ki a ratou, Ko ia taku i korero ai ki a koutou, i mea ai, He tutei koutou:
Ioseph sayde vnto them that is it that I sayde vnto you that ye are surelye spies.
15 Ma konei ka mohiotia ai koutou: e ora ana a Parao e kore koutou e haere atu i konei, ki te kahore to koutou whakaotinga e haere mai ki konei.
Here by ye shall be proued. For by the lyfe of Pharao ye shall not goo hence vntyll youre yongest brother be come hither.
16 Tukua atu tetahi o koutou ki te tiki i to koutou teina, ko koutou hoki, ka herea koutou, kia mohiotia ai a koutou korero, he pono ranei ta koutou: a ki te kahore, e ora ana a Parao, ina, he tutei koutou.
Sende therfore one off you and lett him fett youre brother and ye shalbe in preason in the meane season. And thereby shall youre wordes be proued whether there be any trueth in you: or els by the lyfe of Pharao ye are but spies.
17 Na ka huihuia ratou e ia kia tiakina, e toru nga ra.
And he put them in warde thre dayes.
18 A i te toru o nga ra ka mea a Hohepa ki a ratou, Ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai kia ora ai koutou; he tangata wehi hoki ahau i te Atua:
And Ioseph sayde vnto the the thryd daye: This doo and lyue for I feare Gode
19 Ki te mea he hunga pono koutou, me here tetahi o o koutou tuakana i roto i te whare i tiakina ai koutou: otiia me haere koutou ki te kawe witi mo te matekai o o koutou whare:
Yf ye meane no hurte let one of youre brethern be bounde in the preason and goo ye and brynge the necessarie foode vnto youre housholdes
20 A me kawe mai to koutou teina, te whakaotinga, ki ahau; kia whakatikaia ai a koutou kupu; a e kore koutou e mate. A pena ana ratou.
and brynge youre yongest brother vnto me: that youre wordes maye be beleved ad that ye dye not And they did so.
21 A ka mea ratou tetahi ki tetahi, He pono kua whai hara tatou i to tatou teina; i kite hoki tatou i te mamae o tona wairua, i a ia i inoi ai ki a tatou, a kihai tatou i whakarongo atu; na reira hoki i puta mai ai tenei he ki a tatou.
Than they sayde one to a nother: we haue verely synned agaynst oure brother in that we sawe the anguysh of his soull when he besought us and wold not heare him: therfore is this troubyll come apon us.
22 Na ka whakahoki a Reupena ki a ratou, ka mea, Kahore ianei ahau i ki atu ki a koutou, i mea, Kaua e hara ki te tamaiti; a kihai koutou i rongo? na, ko ona toto ano hoki tenei te whakatakina nei.
Ruben answered the saynge: sayde I not vnto you that ye shulde not synne agaynst the lad? but ye wolde not heare And now verely see his bloude is requyred.
23 A kihai ratou i mohio e rongo ana a Hohepa; no te mea he kaiwhakamaori hoki i waenganui i a ratou.
They were not aware that Ioseph vnderstode them for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.
24 Na ka tahuri ke atu ia i a ratou, a ka tangi: ka hoki ano ia ki a ratou, ka korero ki a ratou, ka tango hoki i a Himiona i roto i a ratou, a herea ana e ia ki to ratou aroaro.
And he turned from them and wepte and than turned to them agayne ad comened with them and toke out Simeon from amonge the and bownde him before their eyes
25 Na ka whakahaua e Hohepa kia whakakiia a ratou peke ki te witi, kia whakahokia atu nga moni a tenei, a tenei, ki a ratou peke, kia hoatu ano hoki ki a ratou he o ki te ara; na pera ana ia ki a ratou.
ad commaunded to fyll their saekes wyth corne and to put euery mans money in his sacke and to geue them vitayle to spende by the waye. And so it was done to them.
26 Na ka utaina e ratou a ratou witi ki a ratou kaihe, a haere atu ana i reira.
And they laded their asses with the corne and departed thence.
27 A, i te whakatuwheratanga a tetahi o ratou i tana peke kia hoatu he kai ma tana kaihe i te whare tira, ka kitea e ia tana moni; na, kei te waha tonu o tana peke.
And as one of them opened his sacke for to geue his asse prauender in the Inne he spied his money in his sacks mouth
28 A ka mea ia ki ona tuakana, Kua whakahokia mai taku moni; a tenei ano kei roto i taku peke; na kore ake o ratou ngakau, a ka tahuri ratou me te wiri, ka mea tetahi ki tetahi, He mahi aha tenei a te Atua ki a tatou?
And he sayde vnto his brethren: my money is restored me agayne and is eue in my sackes mouth Than their hartes fayled them and were astoynyed and sayde one to a nother: how cometh it that God dealeth thus with us?
29 Na ka tae ratou ki a Hakopa, ki to ratou papa, ki te whenua o Kanaana, a ka korerotia ki a ia nga mea katoa i pono ki a ratou; ka mea,
And they came vnto Iacob their father vnto the lande of Canaan and tolde him all that had happened them saynge.
30 I korero whakatuma mai te rangatira o te whenua ki a matou; i kiia ano matou e ia he tutei mo te whenua.
The lorde of the lade spake rughly to us and toke us for spyes to serche the countte.
31 A ka mea matou ki a ia, He tangata pono matou; ehara matou i te tutei.
And we sayde vnto him: we meane truely and are no spies.
32 Kotahi tekau ma rua matou, he tuakana, he teina, he tama na to matou papa; kotahi kua kore, kei to matou papa hoki te whakaotinga inaianei, kei te whenua o Kanaana.
We be. xij. bretren sones of oure father one is awaye and the yongest is now with oure father in the lande of Canaan.
33 Na ko te meatanga mai a taua tangata, a te rangatira o te whenua, ki a matou, Ma tenei e mohio ai ahau he hunga pono koutou; me waiho e koutou tetahi o o koutou tuakana ki ahau, a me mau atu e koutou he kai mo te matekai o o koutou whare, a ka h aere:
And the lorde of the countre sayde vnto us: here by shall I knowe yf ye meane truely: leaue one of youre brethern here with me and take foode necessary for youre housholdes and get you awaye
34 A me kawe mai to koutou teina, te whakaotinga, ki ahau: kia mohio ai ahau ehara koutou i te tutei, engari he hunga pono koutou: penei ka hoatu e ahau to koutou tuakana ki a koutou, a ka hokohoko koutou ki tenei whenua.
and brynge youre yongest brother vnto me And thereby shall I knowe that ye are no spyes but meane truely: So will I delyuer you youre brother agayne and ye shall occupie in the lande.
35 A, i a ratou e ringiringi ana i a ratou peke, na, ko te moni a tenei, a tenei e takai ana i roto i a ratou peke: a, ka kite ratou ko to ratou papa i nga moni e takai ana, na ka wehi ratou.
And as they emptied their sackes beholde: euery mans bundell of money was in his sacke And when both they and their father sawe the bundells of money they were afrayde.
36 Na ka mea a Hakopa, to ratou papa, ki a ratou, Ka whakapania ahau e koutou: ko Hohepa kua kahore, ko Himiona hoki kua kahore, a ka tangohia nei e koutou a Pineamine: he pehi moku enei mea katoa.
And Iacob their father sayde vnto them: Me haue ye robbed of my childern: Ioseph is away and Simeon is awaye and ye will take Ben Iamin awaye. All these thinges fall vpon me.
37 Na ka korero a Reupena ki tona papa, ka mea, Whakamatea aku tama tokorua, ki te kahore ia e kawea mai e ahau ki a koe: homai ia ki toku ringa, a maku ia e whakahoki mai ki a koe.
Ruben answered his father saynge: Slee my two sonnes yf I bringe him not to the agayne. Delyuer him therfore to my honde and I will brynge him to the agayne:
38 A ka mea ia, E kore taku tama e haere tahi i a koutou ki raro: kua mate hoki tona tuakana, a ko ia anake ka mahue nei; a ki te pono he aitua ki a ia i te ara e haere nei koutou, katahi ka meinga toku koroheketanga e koutou kia heke tangi atu ki te po. (Sheol h7585)
And he sayde: my sonne shall not go downe with you. For his brother is dead and he is left alone Moreouer some mysfortune myght happen vpon him by the waye which ye goo. And so shuld ye brynge my gray head with sorowe vnto the graue. (Sheol h7585)
