Kenehi 50
1 Na ka hinga a Hohepa ki runga ki te mata o tona papa, a ka tangi i runga i a ia, ka kihi hoki i a ia.
Pea tōmapeʻe ʻa Siosefa ki he mata ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻo tangi kiate ia, mo uma kiate ia.
2 Na ka whakahau a Hohepa i ana tangata, i nga kairongoa, kia whakapakokotia tona papa; na whakapakokotia ana a Iharaira e nga kairongoa.
Pea fekau ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene kau tangata faitoʻo, ke nau fakatolongaʻi ʻene tamai; pea naʻe fakatolonga ʻa ʻIsileli ʻe he kau faitoʻo.
3 Na ka tutuki ona ra e wha tekau; ko nga ra hoki ena e whakatutukitia ana mo te hunga e whakapakokotia ana: a e whitu tekau nga ra i uhungatia ai ia e nga Ihipiana.
Pea naʻe fai ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu koeʻuhi ko ia; he ko hono ngaahi ʻaho ia kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakatolongaʻi; pea naʻe tangi ʻae kakai ʻIsipite ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitungofulu koeʻuhi ko ia.
4 A, ka taka nga ra e uhungatia ia ia, ka korero a Hohepa ki te whare o Parao, ka mea, Na, ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koutou, tena, korero atu ki nga taringa o Parao, mea atu,
Pea ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho fakamamahi, naʻe lea ʻa Siosefa ki he fale ʻo Felo, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni, kapau kuo u lelei ʻi homou ʻao, ʻoku ou kole kiate kimoutolu ke mou lea ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, ʻo pehē,
5 I whakaoati toku papa i ahau, i mea, Ka mate tenei ahau: hei roto i taku tanumanga i keria e ahau moku ki te whenua o Kanaana, hei reira ahau tanumia ai e koe. Na kia tukua ahau e koe aianei kia haere ki runga, ki te tanu i toku papa, ka hoki mai ai.
Naʻe puleʻi au ʻe heʻeku tamai ke u fuakava, ʻo pehē, Vakai, teu mate: pea te ke tanu au ʻi he faʻitoka naʻaku ngaohi maʻaku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani. Pea ko eni ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u ʻalu ʻo tanu ʻeku tamai, pea te u toe haʻu.”
6 Na ka mea a Parao, Haere ki runga ki te tanu i tou papa, kia rite ki tana i whakaoati ai i a koe.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Felo, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻo tanu hoʻo tamai, ʻo hangē ko e fuakava naʻa ne fekau ke ke fai.”
7 Na haere ana a Hohepa ki runga ki te tanu i tona papa, i haere tahi ano i a ia nga pononga katoa a Parao, nga kaumatua o tona whare, me nga kaumatua katoa o te whenua o Ihipa,
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa ke tanu ʻene tamai; pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae kau matāpule kotoa pē ʻa Felo, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo hono fale, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsipite,
8 Me te whare katoa ano hoki o Hohepa, ratou ko ona tuakana, me te whare ano hoki o tona papa; ko a ratou tamariki anake, me a ratou hipi, me a ratou kau i mahue i a ratou i te whenua o Kohena.
Pea mo e fale kotoa pē ʻo Siosefa, mo hono ngaahi tokoua, mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai; ko e nau tamaiki, mo e nau fanga manu, mo e nau fanga sipi, naʻa nau tuku pe ʻi he fonua ko Koseni.
9 I haere tahi ano i a ia nga hariata me nga tangata hoiho: he nui whakaharahara te tira.
Pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae ngaahi saliote, mo e kau tangata heka hoosi; ko e kakai tokolahi ʻaupito.
10 Na ka tae ratou ki te patunga witi a Atara, i tawahi o Horano, a he tino nui whakaharahara te tangihanga i tangi ai ratou ki reira: e whitu hoki nga ra i uhungatia ai e ia tona papa.
Pea naʻa nau hoko ki he hahaʻanga uite ʻi ʻEtati, ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa Sioatani, pea nau tangi ai ʻi he tangi lahi mo fakamamahi: pea naʻa ne fai ʻae tangi ki heʻene tamai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu.
11 A, ka kite nga tangata whenua, nga Kanaani, i te uhunga i te patunga witi a Atara, ka mea ratou, He uhunga nui tenei na nga Ihipiana: na reira i huaina ai te ingoa o reira ko Apere Mitiraima, kei tawahi hoki o Horano.
Pea kuo mamata ʻe he kakai ʻoe fonua, ʻaia ko e kakai Kēnani, ki he tangi ʻi he potu ʻi ʻEtati, pea nau lea ʻo pehē, “Ko e tangi fakamamahi eni, ki he kakai ʻIsipite;” ko ia naʻe ui ai hono hingoa ʻo ia ko ʻEpelimisilemi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa Sioatani.
12 Na rite tonu ki tana i whakahau ai ki a ratou tana tama i mea ai ki a ia:
Pea naʻe fai ʻe hono ngaahi foha kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene fekau.
13 I kawea hoki ia e ana tama ki te whenua o Kanaana, a tanumia ana ki te ana i te parae o Makapera, i hokona tahitia nei e Aperahama me te parae i a Eperona Hiti, kia puritia hei tanumanga, kei te ritenga atu o Mamere.
He naʻe fata ia ʻe hono ngaahi foha ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo nau tanu ia ʻi he ʻana ʻi he ngoue ko Makipila ʻoku hanga ki Mamili, ʻaia naʻe fakatau maʻana ʻe ʻEpalahame, mo e ngoue ko e tanuʻanga, meia ʻEfilone ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Heti.
14 Na hoki ana a Hohepa ki Ihipa, ratou tahi ko ona tuakana, ko nga tangata katoa ano hoki i haere tahi i a ia ki runga ki te tanu i tona papa, i te mutunga o tana tanu i tona papa.
Pea naʻe toe liu mai ʻa Siosefa ki ʻIsipite, hili ʻae tanu ʻo ʻene tamai, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi tokoua, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻalu mo ia ke tanu ʻene tamai.
15 Na, i te kitenga o nga tuakana o Hohepa kua mate to ratou papa, ka mea ratou, Tera pea e kino mai a Hohepa ki a tatou, a ka utua mai e ia a tatou kino katoa i meatia e tatou ki a ia.
Pea kuo mamata ʻe he ngaahi tokoua ʻo Siosefa, kuo pekia ʻa ʻenau tamai, naʻa nau pehē, “E fehiʻa nai ʻa Siosefa kiate kitautolu, mo totongi kiate kitautolu ʻae kovi kotoa pē naʻa tau fai kiate ia.”
16 Na ka tuku tangata ratou ki a Hohepa, a ka mea, I whakahau mai tou papa i mua ake i tona matenga, i mea mai,
Pea naʻa nau fekau ʻae tokotaha ke ʻalu kia Siosefa ʻo lea pehē, naʻe fekau ʻe hoʻo tamai ʻi heʻene kei moʻui, ʻo pehē,
17 Kia penei ta koutou kupu ki a Hohepa, Tena, whakarerea te he o ou tuakana, me to ratou hara; he kino hoki ta ratou mahi ki a koe: na, tena whakarerea te he o nga pononga a te Atua o tou papa. A ka tangi a Hohepa i a ratou kupu ki a ia.
“Te mou lea pehē kia Siosefa, ‘ʻOku ou kole ni kiate koe, fakamolemole ʻae kovi ʻa ho ngaahi tokoua mo ʻenau fai hala;’ he naʻa nau fai kovi kiate koe: pea ko eni, ʻoku mau kole kiate koe, fakamolemole ʻae hia ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua ʻo hoʻo tamai.” Pea naʻe tangi ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻenau lea kiate ia.
18 Na ka haere ona tuakana, ka tapapa ki tona aroaro; ka mea, Tenei matou hei pononga mau.
Pea ʻalu hono ngaahi tokoua ʻo foʻohifo ʻi hono ʻao; ʻo nau lea pehē, “Vakai mai, ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻakimautolu.”
19 A ka mea a Hohepa ki a ratou, Kaua e wehi: he kaiwhakakapi oti ahau mo to te Atua wahi?
Pea pehēange ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua te mou manavahē; he ko e fetongi au ʻoe ʻOtua?
20 Ko koutou hoki, i he o koutou whakaaro ki ahau; he pai ia to te Atua whakaaro, kia meatia ai tenei inaianei, kia whakaorangia ai hoki nga tangata tokomaha.
Ka ko kimoutolu, naʻa mou mahalo kovi kiate au, ka naʻe puleʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ke lelei, koeʻuhi ke fakahoko ʻaia ʻoku fai he ʻaho ni, ke fakahaofi ʻae moʻui ʻae kakai tokolahi.
21 Heoi kaua e wehi; maku koutou e atawhai, koutou ko a koutou tamariki. A ka whakamarie ia i a ratou, ka whakamama hoki i o ratou ngakau.
Pea ko eni, ke ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē; he te u tauhi ʻakinautolu mo hoʻomou tamaiki.” Pea naʻa ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻakinautolu, ʻo lea ʻofa kiate kinautolu.
22 Na ka noho a Hohepa ki Ihipa, ratou ko te whare o tona papa: a kotahi rau kotahi tekau nga tau i ora ai a Hohepa.
Pea naʻe nofo ʻa Siosefa ʻi ʻIsipite, ʻa ia, mo e fale ʻo ʻene tamai; pea ko e moʻui ʻa Siosefa ko e taʻu ʻe teau, mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu.
23 A i kite a Hohepa i te tuatoru o nga whakatupuranga o nga tamariki a Eparaima: i whakatupuria ano hoki nga tamariki a Makiri, tama a Manahi, ki runga ki nga turi o Hohepa.
Pea naʻe mamata ʻa Siosefa ki he fānau ʻa ʻIfalemi, ko e toʻutangata ʻe tolu ko e fānau foki ʻa Mekili ko e foha ʻo Manase, naʻe ʻomi ʻo tuku ki he funga tui ʻo Siosefa.
24 Na ka mea a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, Ka mate ahau; otiia ka ata tirohia koutou e te Atua, a ka kawea atu koutou e ia i tenei whenua ki runga, ki te whenua i oati ai ia ki a Aperahama, ki a Ihaka, ki a Hakopa.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokoua, “Teu mate au; pea ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, ʻo ʻave ʻakimoutolu mei he fonua ni, ki he fonua naʻa ne fuakava ki ai kia ʻEpalahame, mo ʻAisake, pea mo Sēkope.”
25 Na ka whakaoatitia nga tama a Iharaira e Hohepa, ka mea ia, Ka tikina mai koutou, ka ata tirohia e te Atua, a me kawe atu e koutou oku iwi i konei ki runga.
Pea naʻe fai kia Siosefa ʻae fuakava ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻaʻahi ʻae ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu, pea te mou fetuku hoku ngaahi hui mei heni.”
26 Na ka mate a Hohepa i te kotahi rau i te kotahi tekau o ona tau: a ka whakapakokotia e ratou, ka whakatakotoria hoki ki te kawhena i Ihipa.
Pea naʻe pekia ai ʻa Siosefa, kuo teau taʻu, mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu hono motuʻa: pea naʻa nau fakatolongaʻi ia, pea nau ai ia ki he puha ʻi ʻIsipite.
