Genesis 44
1 He commanded the steward of his house, saying, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
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.
2 Put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, with his grain money.” He did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
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.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
A ao ae la, ua hoihoiia'ku la ua poe kanaka la, a me ko lakou mau hoki.
4 When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Up, follow after the men. When you overtake them, ask them, ‘Why have you rewarded evil for good?
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?
5 Isn’t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? You have done evil in so doing.’”
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.
6 He overtook them, and he spoke these words to them.
A hiki aku la ia io lakou la, olelo aku la ia ia lakou i keia mau olelo.
7 They said to him, “Why does my lord speak such words as these? Far be it from your servants that they should do such a thing!
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.
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Canaan. How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord’s house?
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?
9 With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.”
A i ikeia ia mea i kekahi o kou poe kauwa, e make ia, a e lilo makou i poe kauwa na kou haku.
10 He said, “Now also let it be according to your words. He with whom it is found will be my slave; and you will be blameless.”
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.
11 Then they hurried, and each man took his sack down to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
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.
12 He searched, beginning with the oldest, and ending at the youngest. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
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.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey, and returned to the city.
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.
14 Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there. They fell on the ground before him.
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.
15 Joseph said to them, “What deed is this that you have done? Don’t you know that such a man as I can indeed do divination?”
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?
16 Judah said, “What will we tell my lord? What will we speak? How will we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also in whose hand the cup is found.”
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.
17 He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
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.
18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, “Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears, and don’t let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.
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.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Have you a father, or a brother?’
Ninau mai la kuu haku i kau poe kauwa nei, i mai la, He makuakane anei ko oukou, a he kaikaina anei?
20 We said to my lord, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.’
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.
21 You said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.’
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.
22 We said to my lord, ‘The boy can’t leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.’
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.
23 You said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.’
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.
24 When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
A hiki aku la makou i kau kauwa i ko'u makuakane, hai aku la makou ia ia i ka olelo a kuu haku.
25 Our father said, ‘Go again and buy us a little food.’
A olelo mai la ko makou makuakane, O hele hou oukou e kuai i wahi ai iki na kakou.
26 We said, ‘We can’t go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man’s face, unless our youngest brother is with us.’
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.
27 Your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.
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.
28 One went out from me, and I said, “Surely he is torn in pieces;” and I haven’t seen him since.
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.
29 If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.’ (Sheol h7585)
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)
30 Now therefore when I come to your servant my father, and the boy is not with us; since his life is bound up in the boy’s life;
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;
31 it will happen, when he sees that the boy is no more, that he will die. Your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant, our father, with sorrow to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
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)
32 For your servant became collateral for the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I don’t bring him to you, then I will bear the blame to my father forever.’
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.
33 Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, my lord’s slave; and let the boy go up with his brothers.
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.
34 For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn’t with me?—lest I see the evil that will come on my father.”
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.
