Kenehi 44

1 Na ka whakahau ia ki te kaitohutohu o tona whare, ka mea, Whakakiia nga peke a aua tangata ki nga kai e taea te whawhao ki roto, me maka ano te moni a tenei, a tenei, ki te waha o tana peke.

And he commaunded the rueler of his house saynge: fyll the mens sackes with food as moch as they can carie

2 Whaowhina hoki taku kapu, te kapu hiriwa, ki te waha o te peke a te whakaotinga, me te moni ano mo tana witi. Na rite tonu tana i mea ai ki ta Hohepa kupu i ki ai.

and put euery mans money in his bagge mouth and put my syluer cuppe in the sackes mouth of the yongest and his corne money also. And he dyd as Ioseph had sayde.

3 A, ka marama te ata, ka tonoa atu aua tangata, ratou me a ratou kaihe.

And in ye mornynge as soone as it was lighte the me were let goo with their asses.

4 A, no to ratou haerenga atu i te pa, kihai i matara, ka mea a Hohepa ki te kaitohutohu o tona whare, Whakatika, whaia aua tangata; a, ka mau ratou i a koe, ka mea ki a ratou, He aha i utua ai e koutou te pai ki te kino?

And when they were out of the cytie and not yet ferre awaye Ioseph sayde vnto the ruelar of his house: vp and folowe after the men and ouertake them and saye vnto them: wherefore haue ye rewarded euell for good?

5 Ehara ianei tenei i te mea e inu ai toku ariki, i tana hoki e kite tohu ai ia? ka kino ta koutou mahi.

is that not the cuppe of which my lorde drynketh ad doth he not prophesie therin? ye haue euell done that ye haue done.

6 Na ka mau ratou i a ia, a korerotia ana e ia aua kupu ki a ratou.

And he ouertoke them and sayde the same wordes vnto them.

7 A ka mea ratou ki a ia, He aha enei kupu i korerotia ai e toku ariki? Aue, kia meatia tenei mea e au pononga.

And they answered him: wherfore sayth my lorde soch wordes? God forbydd that thy servauntes shulde doo so.

8 Nana, ko te moni i kitea e matou i te waha o a matou peke, i whakahokia mai e matou ki a koe i te whenua o Kanaana: a kia tahae matou hei aha i te hiriwa, i te koura ranei, i roto i te whare o tou ariki?

Beholde the money which we founde in oure sackes mouthes we brought agayne vnto the out of the lande of Canaa: how then shulde we steale out of my lordes house ether syluer or golde?

9 Ki te mea ka kitea taua mea ki tetahi o au pononga, kia mate ia, kia waiho ano matou hei pononga ma toku ariki.

with whosoeuer of thy seruauntes it be founde let him dye and let vs also be my lordes bondmen.

10 A ka mea ia, Kia rite ano hoki aianei ki ta koutou i mea ai: e kitea taua mea ki tetahi, hei pononga ia maku; a kahore he whakahe mo koutou.

And he sayde: Now therfore acordynge vnto youre woordes he with whom it is found shalbe my seruaunte: but ye shalbe harmelesse.

11 Na hohoro tonu ta ratou tuku iho i tana peke, i tana peke, ki te whenua, a whakatuwheratia ana e ratou tana peke, tana peke.

And attonce euery man toke downe his sacke to the grounde ad every man opened his sacke.

12 Na ka rapu ia, timata i te matamua a whakamutu ki te whakaotinga: a ka kitea te kapu i roto i te peke a Pineamine.

And he serched and began at the eldest and left at the yongest. And the cuppe was founde in Ben Iamins sacke.

13 Na ka haehae ratou i o ratou kakahu, a whakawaha ana e ratou tana kaihe, tana kaihe, hoki ana ki te pa.

Then they rent their clothes and laded euery man his asse and went agayne vnto the cytie.

14 Na ka haere a Hura ratou ko ona tuakana, ko ona teina, ki te whare o Hohepa; a i reira tonu ia: a tapapa ana ki te whenua i tona aroaro.

And Iuda and his brethre came to Iosephs house for he was yet there ad they fell before him on the grounde.

15 Na ka mea a Hohepa ki a ratou, He aha tenei mea i meatia nei e koutou? kihai ranei koutou i mahara he tangata matakite te penei me ahau nei?

And Ioseph sayde vnto the: what dede is this which ye haue done? wist ye not that soch a man as I can prophesie?

16 Na ka mea a Hura, He aha ta matou e mea ai ki toku ariki? he aha ta matou e korero ai? me aha ranei hei whakatika i a matou? kua kitea e te Atua te hara o au pononga; na, tenei matou hei pononga ma toku ariki, matou tahi hoki ko te tangata i kit ea nei te kapu ki a ia.

Then sayde Iuda: what shall we saye vnto my lorde what shall we speake or what excuse can we make? God hath founde out ye wekednesse of thy seruauntes. Beholde both we and he with whom the cuppe is founde are thy seruauntes.

17 Ano ra ko ia, Engari, kia meatia tenei e ahau! Ko te tangata i kitea nei te kapu ki a ia, ko ia hei pononga maku; ko koutou ia, haere marie koutou ki runga, ki to koutou papa.

And he answered: God forbyd ye I shulde do so the man with whom the cuppe is founde he shalbe my seruaunte: but goo ye in peace vn to youre father.

18 Katahi ka whakatata a Hura ki a ia, ka mea, Tukua tau pononga, e toku ariki, kia korero i tetahi kupu ki nga taringa o toku ariki, kei mura hoki tou riri ki tau pononga: ko korua hoki ko Parao rite tahi.

Then Iuda went vnto him and sayde: oh my lorde let thy servaunte speake a worde in my lordes audyence and be not wrooth with thi servaunte: for thou art euen as Pharao.

19 I ui mai toku ariki ki ana pononga, i mea, He papa ranei to koutou, he teina ranei?

My lorde axed his seruaunte sainge: haue ye a father or a brother?

20 A ka mea matou ki toku ariki, He papa ano to matou, he koroheke, me tetahi tama o tona koroheketanga, he mea iti; kua mate hoki tona tuakana, a ko ia anake i mahue o nga tamariki a tona whaea, e aroha ana hoki tona papa ki a ia.

And we answered my lord we haue a father that is old and a yonge lad which he begat in his age: ad the brother of the sayde lad is dead and he is all that is left of that mother. And his father loueth him.

21 Na ka mea mai koe ki au pononga, Kawea mai ia ki raro nei, ki ahau, kia tau atu ai oku kanohi ki a ia.

Then sayde my lorde vnto his seruauntes brynge him vnto me that I maye sett myne eyes apon him.

22 Katahi matou ka mea ki toku ariki, E kore e ahei kia whakarerea tona papa e taua tamaiti: no te mea ka mate tona papa ki te mahue i a ia.

And we answered my lorde that the lad coude not goo from his father for if he shulde leaue his father he were but a deed man.

23 Na ka mea koe ki au pononga, Ki te kahore to koutou teina, te whakaotinga, e haere tahi mai i a koutou ki raro nei, e kore koutou e kite i toku kanohi a muri ake nei.

Than saydest thou vnto thy servauntes: excepte youre yongest brother come with you loke that ye se my face no moare.

24 A, i to matou haerenga ki runga, ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, na, ka korerotia e matou nga kupu a toku ariki ki a ia.

And when we came vnto thy servaunt oure father we shewed him what my lorde had sayde.

25 A ka mea mai to matou papa, Hoki atu ki te hoko i tetahi wahi kai ma tatou.

And when oure father sayde vnto vs goo agayne and bye vs a litle fode:

26 Na ka mea matou, E kore e ahei ki a matou te haere ki raro: ki te mea kei a matou to matou teina, te whakaotinga, na, ka haere matou ki raro: no te mea hoki e kore e taea e matou te titiro ki te kanohi o taua tangata, ki te kahore to matou teina, te whakaotinga, i a matou.

we sayd yt we coude not goo. Neverthelesse if oure youngeste brother go with vs then will we goo for we maye not see the mannes face excepte oure yongest brother be with vs.

27 Na ka mea tau pononga, toku papa, ki a matou, E mohio ana koutou, tokorua nga tama a maua ko taku wahine:

Then sayde thy servaunt oure father vnto vs. Ye knowe that my wyfe bare me. ij. sonnes.

28 A i haere atu tetahi i toku taha, i mea hoki ahau, He pono kua haea putia ia; a kahore ahau i kite i a ia a mohoa noa nei:

And the one went out from me and it is sayde of a suertie that he is torne in peaces of wyld beastes and I sawe him not sence.

29 Ki te tangohia ano hoki tenei e koutou i toku aroaro, a ka pono he aitua ki a ia, katahi ka meinga e koutou kia heke tangi atu toku koroheketanga ki te po. (Sheol h7585)

Yf ye shall take this also awaye fro me and some mysfortune happen apon him then shall ye brynge my gray heed with sorow vnto the grave. (Sheol h7585)

30 Heoi, ki te haere atu ahau ki tau pononga, ki toku papa, a kahore taua tamaiti i a matou; kei roto nei hoki i tona wairua tona wairua e paihere ana;

Now therfore whe I come to thy servaunt my father yf the lad be not with me: seinge that his lyfe hageth by the laddes lyfe

31 Na, kei tona kitenga kua kore tenei tama, ka mate ia: a ka meinga e matou, e au pononga, te koroheketanga o tau pononga, o to matou papa, kia heke tangi atu ki te po. (Sheol h7585)

then as soone as he seeth that the lad is not come he will dye. So shall we thy servautes brynge the gray hedde of thy servaunt oure father with sorow vnto the grave. (Sheol h7585)

32 I waiho hoki tau pononga hei utu mo tenei tama ki toku papa, i mea ahau, Ki te kahore ia e kawea mai e ahau ki a koe, na, hei whakahenga ahau ma toku papa i nga ra katoa.

For I thy servaunt became suertie for the lad vnto my father and sayde: yf I bringe him not vnto the agayne. I will bere the blame all my life loge.

33 Heoi kia noho ra tau pononga aianei hei utu mo tenei tama, hei pononga ma toku ariki; a kia haere tahi te tama i ona tuakana ki runga.

Now therfore let me thy servaunt byde here for ye lad and be my lordes bondman: and let the lad goo home with his brethern.

34 Me pehea hoki ahau e haere ai ki runga, ki toku papa, ki te kahore te tama i ahau? kei kite ahau i te kino e pa ana ki toku papa.

For how can I goo vnto my father and the lad not wyth me: lest I shulde see the wretchednes that shall come on my father.
