Kinohi 42
1 A IKE ae la o Iakoba, he ai ma Aigupita, olelo aku la o Iakoba i kana poe keikikane, O ke aha ka oukou e nana aku nei, kekahi i kekahi?
Now Jacob became aware that there was grain in Egypt. He said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
2 Olelo aku la ia, Aia hoi, ua lohe au, ho ai ma Aigupita, E iho aku oukou ilaila, e kuai i ai na kakou, i ola kakou, aole e make.
He said, “See here, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy for us from there so we may live and not die.”
3 Hele aku la ka poe kaikuaana o Iosepa he umi ilalo i Aigupita e kuai i ai.
Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.
4 A o Beniamina, ke kaikaina o Iosepa, aole o Iakoba i hoouna aku ia ia me kona poe kaikunana, no ka mea, i olelo iho la ia, O poino kela.
But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob did not send with his brothers, for he feared that harm might come to him.
5 Hele pu ae la na keiki a Iseraela iwaena o ka poe hele, e kuai i ai, no ka mea, ua wi loa ka aina o Kanaana.
The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
6 O Iosepa no ke kiaaina olaila, a nana no i kuai na na kanaka a pau o ia aina. Hele mai la ka poe kaikuaana o Iosepa, a kulou iho la lakou imua ona, me na maka i ka honua.
Now Joseph was the governor over the land. He was the one who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
7 A nana aku la o Iosepa i kona poe kaikuaana, ike ae la oia ia lakou, a hoohuahualau aku oia ia lakou, olelo koikoi aku la oia ia lakou, i aku la ia lakou, Nohea mai oukou? Olelo mai la lakou, No ka aina o Kanaana mai, e kuai i ai.
Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he disguised himself to them and spoke harshly with them. He said to them, “Where have you come from?” They said, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.”
8 Ua ike no o Iosepa i kona poe kaikuaana, aole nae lakou i ike ia ia.
Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
9 Hoomanao iho la o Iosepa i na moe ana i moe ai no lakou, i aku la oia ia lakou, He poe kiu oukou; ua hele mai oukou e nana i ka hemahema o ka aina.
Then Joseph remembered the dreams he had dreamed about them, and he said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the undefended parts of the land.”
10 Olelo mai la lakou ia ia, Aole ia, e kuu haku. I hele mai kau poe kauwa e kuai i ai.
They said to him, “No, my master. Your servants have come to buy food.
11 He poe keiki makou a pau na ke kanaka hookahi; he poe kanaka pono, aole he poe kin makou o kau poe kauwa.
We are all one man's sons. We are honest men. Your servants are not spies.”
12 Olelo aku la ia ia lakou, Aole, ua hele mai nei oukou e nana i ka hemahema o ka aina.
He said to them, “No, you have come to see the undefended parts of the land.”
13 Olelo mai la lakou, O kau poe kauwa, he umi makou a me kumamalua o ko makou hanauna, na keiki a ke kanaka hookahi i ka aina o Kanaana, aia hoi ka muli loa i keia la me ka makuakane o makou, a o kekahi hoi, aole ia.
They said, “We your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan. See, the youngest is this day with our father, and one brother is no longer alive.”
14 Olelo aku la o Iosepa ia lakou, Oia hoi ka'u i olelo aku nei ia oukou, he poe kiu oukou.
Joseph said to them, “It is what I said to you; you are spies.
15 I keia mea e ikea ai oukou, ma ke ola o Parao, aole oukou e hoi aku, ke hiki ole mai ko oukou kaikaina.
By this you will be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you will not leave here, unless your youngest brother comes here.
16 E hoouna ae i kekahi o oukou e kii i ko oukou kaikaina, a e paa oukou, i ikea ka oukou olelo a me ka pono io o oukou, aka, i ole, ma ke ola o Parao, he poe kiu io no oukou.
Send one of yourselves and let him get your brother. You will remain in prison, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you.”
17 A hoakoakoa mai la oia ia lakou a pau iloko o kahi paa, a ekolu la.
He put them all in custody for three days.
18 A i ka po akolu, olelo aku la o Iosepa ia lakou, E hana oukou i keia, i ola oukou; ua makau wau i ke Akua.
Joseph said to them on the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear God.
19 Ina he poe kanaka pono oukou, e paaia kekahi o oukou i ka halepaahao: e hoi aku oukou e halihali i ai na ka wi o ko oukou mau hale:
If you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in this prison, but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.
20 A e lawe mai i ko oukou kaikaina io'u nei, pela e oiaio ai ka oukou olelo, alaila, aole oukou e make. Hana mai la lakou pela.
Bring your youngest brother to me so your words will be verified and you will not die.” So they did so.
21 Olelo ae la lakou kekahi i kekahi, Ua hewa io kakou i ko kakou kaikaina, no ka mea, ua ike kakou i ka ehaeha o kona naau, i ka manawa ana i noi mai ai ia kakou, aole kakou i hoolohe aku; no ia mea, ua hiki mai keia popilikia io kakou nei.
They said to one another, “We are truly guilty concerning our brother in that we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us and we would not listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us.”
22 A olelo aku la o Reubena ia lakou, i aku la, Aole anei au i olelo aku ia oukou, i ka i ana aku, Mai hana hewa aku i ke keiki? Aole oukou i hoolohe mai. Aia hoi, no ia mea, ua imiia mai ko ia la koko.
Reuben answered them, “Did I not tell you, 'Do not sin against the boy,' but you would not listen? Now, see, his blood is required of us.”
23 Aole i ike lakou ua lohe pono o Iosepa ia lakou, no ka mea, ua olelo aku oia ia lakou, ma ke kanaka hoohalike olelo.
They did not know that Joseph understood them, for there was an interpreter between them.
24 Haliu aku la ia, mai o lakou la, a uwe iho la; haliu hou mai la oia ia lakou, kamailio pu me lakou, a lawe mai la oia ia Simeona, mai o lakou mai la, a hana paa iho la ia ia mamua o ko lakou mau maka.
He turned from them and wept. He returned to them and spoke to them. He took Simeon from among them and bound him before their eyes.
25 Alaila, kauoha aku la o Iosepa, e uhao i ka ai i na eke a lakou a piha, a e hoihoi i ka moni a lakou iloko o ka lakou mau eke, a e haawi aku i o na lakou no ke alanui. Pela oia i hana aku ai ia lakou.
Then Joseph commanded his servants to fill his brothers' bags with grain, and to put every man's money back into his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. It was done for them.
26 Hooili ae la lakou i ka ai iluna iho o ko lakou mau hoki, a hele aku la.
The brothers loaded their donkeys with their grain and departed from there.
27 A i ka wehe ana o kekahi i kana eke, e haawi aku i ai na kona hoki, ma kahi oioina, ike ae la ia i kana moni, no ka mea, aia hoi ia ma ka waha o kana eke.
As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the opening of his sack.
28 A olelo aku la ia i kona poe hoahanau, E, ua hoihoiia mai ka'u moni; eia hoi ia iloko o ka'u eke. Hikilele iho la ko lakou naau, haalulu iho la lakou, i aku la kekahi i kekahi, Heaha keia mea a ke Akua i hana mai ai ia kakou?
He said to his brothers, “My money has been put back. Look at it; it is in my sack.” Their hearts sank and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”
29 A hiki lakou io Iakoba la, i ko lakou makuakane i ka aina o Kanaana, hai aku la lakou ia ia i na mea a pau i loaa'i ia lakou; i aku la,
They went to Jacob, their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them. They said,
30 O ke kanaka, ka haku o ka aina i olelo koikoi mai ai ia makou; ua kuhi mai kela ia makou, he poe kiu no ka aina.
“The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us and thought that we were spies in the land.
31 A olelo aku la makou ia ia, He poe pono makou; aohe makou he kiu.
We said to him, 'We are honest men. We are not spies.
32 He poe hanauna makou, he umi a me kumamalua, na keiki a ko makou makuakane; aole kekahi, a o ka muli loa, aia no ia i keia la me ko makou makuakane, i ka aina o Kanaana.
We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no longer alive, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.'
33 A o ke kanaka, ka haku o ka aina, olelo mai la ia makou, I keia mea e ikeia'i he poe kanaka pono oukou, E waiho mai oukou i kekahi hoahanau o oukou me au, a e lawe i ai na ka wi o ko oukou mau hale, a e hoi aku:
The man, the lord of the land, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers with me, take grain for the famine in your houses, and go your way.
34 A e lawe mai oukou i ko oukou kaikaina io'u nei; alaila, ike au ia oukou, aohe kiu, he poe kanaka maikai no oukou; a e kuu aku au ia oukou i ko oukou hoahanau, a e kuai oukou iloko o keia aina.
Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. Then I will release your brother to you, and you will trade in the land.'”
35 A i ka ninini ana aku a lakou i ka lakou mau eke, aia hoi, iloko o na eke a lakou, ka lakou mau laulau moni a pau. A ike ae la lakou a me ko lakou makuakane i na laulau moni, makau nui iho la lakou.
It came about as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bag of silver was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bags of silver, they were afraid.
36 A olelo mai la o Iakoba ko lakou makuakane ia lakou, Ua hoonele mai oukou ia'u i ka'u mau keiki. O Iosepa, aole ia, a o Simeona, aole ia, a e lawe aku ana oukou ia Beniamina. Ke pale mai nei keia mau mea a pau ia'u.
Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children. Joseph is no longer alive, Simeon is gone, and you will take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.”
37 Olelo aku la o Reubena i kona makuakane, i aku la, E pepehi mai oe i ka'u mau keiki elua, ke hoihoi ole mai au ia ia nei iou la; e haawi mai oe ia ia nei i kuu lima, na'u ia e hoihoi hou mai iou la.
Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “You may kill my two sons if I do not bring Benjamin back to you. Put him in my hands, and I will bring him to you again.”
38 Olelo mai la ia, Aole e iho aku ka'u keiki me oukou ilaila, no ka mea, ua make kona kaikuaana, oia nei wale no koe: ina poino keia, ma ke alanui a oukou e hele ai, alaila, lawe iho oukou i ko'u oho hina i ka lua me ke kaniuhu. (Sheol h7585)
Jacob said, “My son will not go down with you. For his brother is dead and he alone is left. If harm comes to him on the road in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
