Kinohi 44

1 A KAUOHA aku la ia i ka luna o kona hale, i aku la, E uhao i ka ai iloko o na eke a ua mau kanaka la a piha, a e waiho i ka moni a lakou a pau maloko o ka waha o ka lakou mau eke.

And Joseph charged the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put the money of each in the mouth of his sack.

2 A e uhao hoi i kuu kiaha, i ke kiaha kala maloko o ka waha o ka eke a ka mea opiopio loa, a me kana moni no ka ai. Hana mai la kela ma ka olelo a Iosepa i olelo aku ai.

And put my silver cup into the sack of the youngest, and the price of his corn. And it was done according to the word of Joseph, as he said.

3 A ao ae la, ua hoihoiia'ku la ua poe kanaka la, a me ko lakou mau hoki.

The morning dawned, and the men were sent away, they and their asses.

4 A puka aku la lakou mawaho o ke kulanakauhale, aole i hiki i kahi loihi, alaila olelo aku la o Iosepa i kana luna, E ku oe, e alualu aku i ua poe kanaka la, a loaa lakou ia oe, e i aku ia lakou, No ke aha oukou i hoihoi mai ai i ka hewa no ka pono?

And when they had gone out of the city, [and] were not far off, then Joseph said to his steward, Arise, and pursue after the men; and you shall overtake them, and say to them, Why have you returned evil for good?

5 Aole anei keia o ka mea a ka'u haku i inu ai iloko? a i kilo ai hoi? Ua hewa oukou i ka hana ana pela.

Why have you stolen my silver cup? is it not this out of which my lord drinks? and he divines augury with it; you have accomplished evil in that which you have done.

6 A hiki aku la ia io lakou la, olelo aku la ia ia lakou i keia mau olelo.

And he found them, and spoke to them according to these words.

7 Ninau mai la lakou ia ia, No ke aha la i olelo mai ai kuu haku i keia olelo? Aole loa e hiki i kou poe kauwa ke hana e like me ia.

And they said to him, Why does our lord speak according to these words? far be it from your servants to do according to this word.

8 Eia hoi, o ka moni a makou i loaa'i iloko o ka waha o ka makou mau eke, ua halihali hou mai makou ia nei ia oe mai loko mai o ka aina o Kanaana, Pehea hoi makou i aihue ai i ke kala, a i ke gula, noloko mai o ka hale o kou haku?

If we brought back to you out of the land of Chanaan the money which we found in our sacks, how should we steal silver or gold out of the house of your lord?

9 A i ikeia ia mea i kekahi o kou poe kauwa, e make ia, a e lilo makou i poe kauwa na kou haku.

With whoever of your servants you shall find the cup, let him die; and, moreover, we will be servants to our lord.

10 Olelo aku la ia, Ae, e like me ka oukou olelo, pela no ia: o ka mea ua loaa me ke kiaha, e lilo ia i kauwa na'u, a e hala ole oukou.

And he said, Now then it shall be as you say; with whoever the cup shall be found, he shall be my servant, and you shall be clear.

11 Kuu koke iho la lakou a pau i ka lakou mau eke ilalo i ka honua, a wehe ae la lakou i ka lakou mau eke.

And they hasted, and took down every man his sack on the ground, and they opened every man his sack.

12 A imi iho la kela, a hoomaka iho la ma ka hiapo, a oki ae la ma ka muli loa, a loaa mai la ke kiaha ma ka eke a Beniamina.

And he searched, beginning from the oldest, until he came to the youngest; and he found the cup in Benjamin's sack.

13 Alaila haehae iho la lakou i ko lakou mau kapa, a kau aku la kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka ukana ma kana hoki, a hoi aku la i ke kulanakauhale.

And they tore their garments, and laid each man his sack on his ass, and returned to the city.

14 A hele aku la o Iuda a me kona poe hoahanau i ka hale o Iosepa, aia no ia; a moe iho la lakou imua ona ilalo i ka honua.

And Judas and his brethren came in to Joseph, while he was yet there, and fell on the ground before him.

15 Ninau aku la o Iosepa ia lakou, Heaha keia mea a oukou i hana mai nei? Aole anei oukou i ike, e hiki i ke kanaka me a'u nei e kilokilo aku?

And Joseph said to them, What is this thing that you have done? know you not that a man such as I can surely divine?

16 Olelo aku la o Iuda, Pehea la makou e pane aku ai ia oe, e kuu haku? Heaha ka makou e olelo aku ai? Pehea makou e hoapono ai ia makou iho? Ua loaa i ke Akua ka hewa o kau poe kauwa; eia hoi, he poe kauwa makou na ko'u haku. o makou, a me ka mea i loaa ke kiaha ma koua lima.

And Judas said, What shall we answer to our lord, or what shall we say, or wherein should we be justified? whereas God has discovered the unrighteousness of your servants; behold, we are slaves to our lord, both we and he with whom the cup has been found.

17 Olelo mai la o Iosepa, Aole loa e hiki ia'u ke hana pela; aka, o ke kanaka, i loaa'i ke kiaha i kona lima, e lilo ia i kauwa na'u: a o oukou, e hoi aku me ka maluhia i ko oukou makuakane.

And Joseph said, Far be it from me to do this thing; the man with whom the cup has been found, he shall be my servant; but do you go up with safety to your father.

18 Alaila neenee aku la o Iuda io na la, i aku la, Auwe, e kuu haku e! Ina e ae mai kuu haku i kana kauwa nei, ke hai aku i kekahi olelo ma kona pepeiao, aole hoi e wela mai kou huhu i kau kauwa, no ka mea, ua like oe me Parao.

And Judas drew near him, and said, I pray, Sir, let your servant speak a word before you, and be not angry with your servant, for you are next to Pharao.

19 Ninau mai la kuu haku i kau poe kauwa nei, i mai la, He makuakane anei ko oukou, a he kaikaina anei?

Sir, you asked your servants, saying, Have you a father or a brother?

20 A olelo aku la makou i kuu haku, He makuakane no ko makou, he kanaka kahiko, a me kahi keiki o kona wa elemakule, he mea nuku; a o kona kaikuaana, ua make ia, oia wale no ka i koe a kona makuwahine, a ua aloha kona makuakane ia ia.

And we said to [my] lord, We have a father, an old man, and he has a son of his old age, a young one, and his brother is dead, and he alone has been left behind to his mother, and his father loves him.

21 A olelo mai la oe i kau poe kauwa, E lawe mai ia ia ilalo io'u nei, i ike aku kuu maka ia ia.

And you said to they servants, Bring him down to me, and I will take care of him.

22 Alaila olelo aku la makou ia oe i kuu haku, Aole e hiki i ke keiki ke haalele i kona makuakane; no ka mea, ina e haalele ke keiki i kona makuakane, e make no ia.

And we said to [my] lord, The child will not be able to leave his father; but if he should leave his father, he will die.

23 A olelo mai la oe i kau poe kauwa, A i hele ole mai ko oukou kaikaina me oukou, aole oukou e ike hou mai i kuu maka.

But you said to they servants, Except your younger brother come down with you, you shall not see my face again.

24 A hiki aku la makou i kau kauwa i ko'u makuakane, hai aku la makou ia ia i ka olelo a kuu haku.

And it came to pass, when we went up to your servant our father, we reported to him the words of our lord.

25 A olelo mai la ko makou makuakane, O hele hou oukou e kuai i wahi ai iki na kakou.

And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.

26 Olelo aku makou, Aole loa makou e hiki ke hele ilalo; aka, i hele pu ko makou kaikaina me makou, alaila e hele aku makou ilalo, no ka mea, aole e hiki ia makou ke ike aku i ka maka o ua kanaka la, ke hele pu ole ko makou kaikaina me makou.

And we said, We shall not be able to go down; but if our younger brother go down with us, we will go down; for we shall not be able to see the man's face, our younger brother not being with us.

27 Alaila olelo mai la kau kauwa o ko'u makuakane ia makou, Ua ike oukou, ua hanau mai la ka'u wahine i na keiki elua na'u.

And your servant our father said to us, You know that my wife bore me two [sons];

28 A hele aku la kekahi mai o'u aku nei, a i aku la au, He oiaio no ua weluwelu ia; aole hoi au i ike hou aku ia ia.

and one is departed from me; and you said that he was devoured of wild beasts, and I have not seen him until now.

29 A i lawe aku oukou ia ia nei, mai o'u aku nei, a loohia ia i ka poino, alaila, e lawe aku oukou i ko'u oho hina ilalo i ka lua me ke kaniuhu. (Sheol h7585)

If then you take this one also from my presence, and an affliction happen to him by the way, then shall you bring down my old age with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

30 No keia mea hoi, ke hiki aku au i kau kauwa i ko'u makuakane, aole ke keiki me makou, ua pai pu ia kona ola me ke ola o ke Keiki;

Now then, if I should go in to they servant, and our father, and the boy should not be with us, (and his life depends on this [lad's] life)

31 A ike mai ia, aole ke keiki me makou, alaila, e make ia; a e lawe iho o kau poe kauwa i ke oho hina o kau kauwa o ko makou makuakane ilalo i ka lua me ke kaniuhu. (Sheol h7585)

—it shall even come to pass, when he sees the boy is not with us, [that] he will die, and your servants will bring down the old age of your servant, and our father, with sorrow to the grave. (Sheol h7585)

32 No ka mea, ua hoohiki au ia'u iho no ke keiki i ko'u makuakane, ua i aku au, A i hoihoi ole mai au ia ia iou la, no'u mau loa aku no ka hewa imua o ko'u makuakane.

For your servant has received the boy [in charge] from his father, saying, If I bring him not to you, and place him before you, I shall be guilty towards my father for ever.

33 No keia mea hoi, e ae mai oe ia'u i noho au, kau kauwa i panai no ke keiki, i kanwa na kuu haku; e hoi aku hoi ke keiki me kona poe kaikuaana.

Now then I will remain a servant with you instead of the lad, a domestic of my lord; but let the lad go up with his brethren.

34 No ka mea, pehea la au e hoi aku ai i kuu makuakane, aole ke keiki me au? o ike auanei au i ka mea ino e hiki mai ana maluna o kuu makuakane.

For how shall I go up to my father, the lad not being with us? lest I behold the evils which will befall my father.
