Kenehi 45
1 Na kihai i taea e Hohepa te whakamanawanui i te aroaro o te hunga katoa e tu ana i tona taha; a ka karanga ia, Haere katoa atu nga tangata i toku taha. A kihai i tu tetahi tangata i tona taha, i a Hohepa e whakaatu ana i a ia ki ona tuakana.
And Joseph could not control himself before all them that stood by him, and he cried, Put every man out from me! And no man stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brethren.
2 Na he nui tona reo ki te tangi: a ka rongo nga Ihipiana, ka rongo ano hoki te whare o Parao.
And he raised his voice in weeping; and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 Na ka mea a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, Ko Hohepa ahau; e ora ana ano ranei toku papa? A kihai ona tuakana i ahei te whakahoki kupu ki a ia; i pororaru hoki ratou i tona aroaro.
And Joseph said to his brethren, I am Joseph. Does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him, for they were troubled at his presence.
4 A ka mea a Hohepa ki ona tuakana, Whakatata mai ra ki ahau. A ka whakatata ratou. A ka mea ia, Ko Hohepa ahau, ko to koutou teina i hokona nei e koutou ki Ihipa.
And Joseph said to his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5 Na, kaua ra e pouri, kaua hoki e mumura o koutou kanohi, mo koutou i hoko i ahau ki konei: no te mea he mea tono mai ahau e te Atua ki mua i a koutou hei whakaora tangata.
And now, be not grieved, and be not angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6 Ka rua hoki enei tau o te matekai ki te whenua: kei muri ano etahi atu tau e rima, e kore ai e parau, e kore ai e kokoti.
For the famine has been these two years in the land; and yet there are five years in which there will be neither ploughing nor harvest.
7 Kua tonoa mai nei hoki ahau e te Atua ki mua i a koutou kia whai putanga ai koutou ki te ao, kia ora ai hoki koutou i runga i te whakaoranga nui.
So God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
8 Ina, ehara i a koutou nana ahau i tono mai ki konei, engari na te Atua; kua waiho hoki ahau e ia hei matua ki a Parao, hei ariki ano mo tona whare katoa, hei kawana hoki mo te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
And now it was not you [that] sent me here, but God; and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and governor over all the land of Egypt.
9 Hohoro, haere ki runga, ki toku papa, mea atu ki a ia, He penei te kupu a tau tama a Hohepa, Kua meinga ahau e te Atua hei ariki mo Ihipa katoa; haere mai ki ahau, kaua e whakaroa.
Haste and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says thy son Joseph: God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, tarry not.
10 A me noho koe ki te whenua o Kohena, a ka tata koe ki ahau, koutou ko au tama, ko nga tama hoki a au tama, me au kahui, me au kau, me au mea katoa:
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy sheep, and thy cattle, and all that thou hast.
11 A ka atawhai ahau i a koe ki reira; e rima hoki enei tau matekai kei muri nei; kei rawakoretia koutou ko tou whare me au mea katoa.
And there will I maintain thee; for yet there are five years of famine; in order that thou be not impoverished, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast.
12 Na, ka kite nei o koutou kanohi, me nga kanohi o toku teina, o Pineamine, ko toku waha tenei te korero nei ki a koutou.
And behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which speaks to you.
13 A ma koutou e korero ki toku papa toku kororia katoa i Ihipa, me nga mea katoa i kite nei koutou; kia hohoro ano ta koutou kawe mai i toku papa ki konei.
And tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen, and haste and bring down my father hither.
14 Na ka hinga ia ki runga ki te kaki o Pineamine, o tona teina, a ka tangi, ka tangi ano a Pineamine i runga i tona kaki.
And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept on his neck.
15 A ka kihi ia i ona tuakana katoa, ka tangi hoki ki a ratou: a muri iho ka korero ona tuakana ki a ia.
And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them; and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 Na ka tae te rongo ki te whare o Parao, ka korerotia, Kua tae mai nga tuakana o Hohepa: he mea pai ano tena ki te whakaaro o Parao, o ana tangata hoki.
And the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come. And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his bondmen.
17 Na ka mea a Parao ki a Hohepa, Korero ki ou tuakana, Ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai; whakawaha a koutou kararehe, a whakatika, haere ki te whenua o Kanaana;
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to thy brethren, Do this: load your beasts and depart, go into the land of Canaan,
18 Tikina hoki to koutou papa, me nga tangata o o koutou whare, a haere mai ki ahau: a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koutou nga mea papai o te whenua o Ihipa, a ka kai koutou i te momonatanga o te whenua.
and take your father and your households, and come to me; and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
19 Na, kua whakahaua nei koe, meatia tenei e koutou; mauria atu etahi kaata ma koutou i te whenua o Ihipa mo a koutou tamariki, mo a koutou wahine, a kawea mai to koutou papa, haere mai hoki.
And thou art commanded — this do: take waggons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and take up your father, and come.
20 A kaua e whakaaro ki a koutou mea; ma koutou hoki nga mea pai o te whenua katoa o Ihipa.
And let not your eye regret your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt shall be yours.
21 Na ka pera nga tama a Iharaira: a ka homai he kaata e Hohepa ki a ratou, ka pera me ta Parao i ki ai, i homai ano e ia he o mo ratou ki te ara.
And the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them waggons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22 I homai ano hoki e ia ki a ratou katoa he whakatakirua mo nga kakahu o tetahi, o tetahi; ki a Pineamine ia i homai e ia e toru rau hiriwa, takirima ano hoki nga kakahu.
To each one of them all he gave changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred [pieces] of silver and five changes of clothing.
23 A ko nga mea tenei i homai e ia kia kawea ki tona papa; kotahi tekau nga kaihe e waha ana i nga mea papai o Ihipa, me nga kaihe uha kotahi tekau, ko ta ratou kawenga he witi, he taro, hei kai ma tona papa ki te ara.
And to his father he sent this: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread, and food for his father by the way.
24 Na ka tonoa atu e ia ona tuakana, a haere ano ratou: ka mea hoki ia ki a ratou, Kei ngangau koutou ki te ara.
And he sent his brethren away, and they departed. And he said to them, Do not quarrel on the way.
25 Na haere ana ratou i Ihipa ki runga, a ka tae ki te whenua o Kanaana, ki a Hakopa, ki to ratou papa,
And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
26 A ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, E ora ana ano a Hohepa, ko ia hoki te kawana o te whenua katoa o Ihipa. Na ka whakapau te manawa o Hakopa, kihai hoki ia i whakapono ki a ratou.
And they told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
27 Na ka korerotia e ratou ki a ia nga kupu katoa a Hohepa i korero ai ia ki a ratou: a ka kite ia i nga kaata i tukua mai e Hohepa hei tiki mai mona, na, ka ora ake te wairua o Hakopa, o to ratou papa:
And they spoke to him all the words of Joseph, which he had spoken to them. And he saw the waggons that Joseph had sent to carry him. And the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
28 A katahi a Iharaira ka mea, Heoi ano; e ora ana ano taku tama, a Hohepa: ka haere ahau kia kite i a ia kei mate ahau.
And Israel said, It is enough: Joseph my son is yet alive; I will go and see him before I die.
