1In the mean time the famine was heavy upon all the land.
1A OKI loa iho la ka aina i ka wi.
2And when they had eaten up all the corn, which they had brought out of Egypt, Jacob said to his sons: Go again and buy us a little food.
2A pau i ka aiia e lakou ka ai a lakou i lawe mai ai, mai Aigupita mai, olelo mai la ko lakou makuakane ia lakou, O hele hou oukou, e kuai i wahi ai iki na kakou.
3Juda answered: The man declared unto us with the attestation of an oath, saying: You shall not see my face, unless you bring your youngest brother with you.
3A olelo aku la o Iuda ia ia, i aku la, Ua olelo ikaika mai ua kanaka la ia makou, ua i mai, Aole oukou e ike i kuu maka, ke hele ole mai ko oukou kaikaina me oukou.
4If therefore thou wilt send him with us, we will set out together, and will buy necessaries for thee.
4A i hoouna oe i ko makou kaikaina me makou, alaila, hele aku makou ilalo, e kuai i ai nau.
5But if thou wilt not, we will not go: for the man, as we have often said, declared unto us, saying: You shall not see my face without your youngest brother.
5Aka, i hoouna ole oe ia ia, aole makou e hele aku ilalo, no ka mea, ua olelo mai ua kanaka la ia makou, Aole oukou e ike i kuu maka, ke hele ole mai ko oukou kaikaina me oukou.
6Israel said to them: You have done this for my misery in that you told him you had also another brother.
6Olelo mai la o Iseraela, No ke aha la onkou i hana ino mai ai ia'u, i ka hai aku i ua kanaka la i ko oukou kaikaina?
7But they answered: The man asked us in order concerning our kindred: if our father lived: if we had a brother: and we answered him regularly, according to what he demanded: could we know that he would say: Bring hither your brother with you?
7Olelo aku la lakou, I ninau ikaika mai no ua kanaka la ia makou, i ko makou hoahanau, i mai la, Ke ola la no anei ko oukou makuakane? He kaikaina e anei, ko oukou? A hai aku la makou ia ia ma ke ano o keia mau olelo. Ua ike pono anei makou, e i mai ana ia, E lawe mai ilalo nei i ko oukou kaikaina?
8And Juda said to his father: Send the boy with me, that we may set forward, and may live: lest both we and our children perish.
8Olelo aku la o Iuda ia Iseraela i kona makuakane, E kuu mai oe i ke keiki me au, alaila ku ae makou e hele aku; i ola kakou; aole e make o makou, a o oe, a me ka kakou poe kamalii.
9I take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever.
9Owau no ka panai nona; ma ko'u lima, e imi mai oe ia ia; i hoihoi ole mai au ia ia iou la, a e hoonoho ia ia mamua ou, no'u mau loa aku no ka hewa.
10If delay had not been made, we had been here again the second time.
10Ina aole makou i hookaulua, ina ua hoi hou mai makou, mai ka lua o ka hele ana.
11Then Israel said to them: If it must needs be so, do what you will: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels, and carry down presents to the man, a little balm, and honey, and storax, myrrh, turpentine, and almonds.
11Olelo aku la ko lakou makuakane o Iseraela ia lakou, Ina pela mai, e hana i keia; e ahu i ko ka aina hua maikai iloko o ka oukou mau eke, a e lawe aku ilalo i makana na ua kanaka la; i wahi bama iki, a i wahi meli iki, a i mea ala kahi, a me ka mura, a i hua pisetakia, a i alemona.
12And take with you double money, and carry back what you found in your sacks, lest perhaps it was done by mistake.
12A e papalua i na kala ma ko oukou lima; a o ke kala i hoihoiia mai, maloko o ka waha o ka oukou mau eke, e halihali hou aku oukou ia mea, i ko oukou mau lima; malia paha, aole i ikeia.
13And take also your brother, and go to the man.
13E lawe aku hoi oukou i ko oukou kaikaina, a e ku nui iluna, e hele hou aku i ua kanaka la.
14And may my almighty God make him favourable to you; and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children.
14A na ke Akua mana loa e haawi mai ke aloha no oukou mamua o ua kanaka la, i kuu mai ia i kela hoahanau o oukou, a ia Beniamina hoi A i nele au i kuu mau keiki, ua nele au.
15So the men took the presents, and double money, and Benjamin: and went down into Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
15Lawe ae la na kanaka i ua makana la, a lawe papalua no hoi lakou i ke kala ma ko lakou lima, a ia Beniamina hoi; ku ae la lakou, a hele aku la ilalo i Aigupita, a ku aku la imua o Iosepa.
16And when he had seen them, and Benjamin with them, he commanded the steward of his house, saying: Bring in the men into the house, and kill victims, and prepare a feast: because they shall eat with me at noon.
16A ike mai la o Iosepa ia Beniamina me lakou, olelo ae la ia i ka luna o kona hale, E alakai oe i keia poe kanaka i ka hale, e kalua i holoholona, a e hoomakaukau hoi; no ka mea, e ai pu keia poe kanaka me au i ke awakea.
17He did as he was commanded, and brought the men into the house.
17Hana mai la ke kanaka e like me ka Iosepa olelo ana ae; a alakai aku la ia i ua poe kanaka la, iloko o ka hale o Iosepa.
18And they being much afraid, said there one to another: Because of the money, which we carried back the first time in our sacks, we are brought in: that he may bring upon us a false accusation, and by violence make slaves of us and our asses.
18Makau iho la ua poe kanaka la, no ka mea, ua alakaiia'ku la lakou iloko o ka hale o Iosepa, a olelo ae la lakou, No ka moni i hoihoiia'i iloko o ka kakou mau eke i ka manawa mamua, nolaila kakou i alakaiia mai ai iloko nei, i hoolawehala mai oia ia kakou a lele mai iluna o kakou, a e hana paa hoi ia kakou, i poe kauwa, a me ko kakou mau hoki.
19Wherefore going up to the steward of the house, at the door,
19Hookokoke aku la lakou i ka luna o ko Iosepa hale, a kamailio pu lakou me ia ma ka puka o ka hale;
20They said: Sir, we desire thee to hear us: We came down once before to buy food:
20I aku la lakou, E kuu haku e, i ko makou hele ana mai mamua, ua hele mai makou e kuai i ai.
21And when we had bought, and come to the inn, we opened our sacks, and found our money in the mouths of the sacks: which we have now brought again in the same weight.
21A hiki aku la makou i kahi oioina, wehe ae la makou i ka makou mau eke, aia hoi ka moni a pau a makou iloko o ka waha o na eke a makou. A ua halihali hou mai makou ia mea ma ko makou mau lima.
22And we have brought other money besides, to buy what we want: we cannot tell who put it in our bags.
22A ua halihali mai no hoi makou ilalo nei i na moni e ae ma ko makou mau lima e kuai i ai; aole ike makou i ka mea nana i waiho ka moni a makou iloko o ka makou mau eke.
23But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. And he brought Simeon out to them.
23Olelo mai la kela, Aloha oukou, mai makau; na ko oukou Akua, ke Akua o ko oukou makuakane, nana i haawi ka waiwai na oukou iloko o ka oukou mau eke: ua hiki mai ka oukou moni ia'u. Alakai mai la oia ia Simeona io lakou la.
24And having brought them into the house, he fetched water, and they washed their feet, and he gave provender to their asses.
24Alakai ae la ua kanaka la i ka poe kanaka iloko o ko Iosepa hale, a haawi mai la ia lakou i ka wai, holoi iho la lakou i ko lakou mau wawae, a haawi mai la hoi ia i ai na na hoki o lakou.
25But they made ready the presents, against Joseph came at noon: for they had heard that they should eat bread there.
25Hoomakaukau iho la lakou i ka makana i ka hele ana mai o Iosepa i ke awakea; no ka mea, ua lohe lakou, e ai ana lakou i ka ai ilaila.
26Then Joseph came into his house, and they offered him the presents holding them in their hands, and they bowed down with their face to the ground.
26A hoi mai la o Iosepa i kona hale, halihali mai la lakou iloko o ka hale i ka makana nana, na ko lakou lima i paa ai, a kulou iho la lakou imua ona ilalo i ka honua.
27But he, courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom you told me? Is he yet living?
27Ninau mai la ia ia lakou i ko lakou noho ana, i aku la, Pehea ko oukou makuakane, o ka elemakule a oukou i olelo mai ai? Ke ola la no ia, ea?
28And they answered: Thy servant our father is in health, he is yet living. And bowing themselves they made obeisance to him.
28Olelo aku la lakou, E noho pomaikai ana no kau kauwa, ka makuakane o makou, ke ola la no ia. A kulou iho la lakou a moe ilalo.
29And Joseph lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin his brother, by the same mother, and said: Is this your young brother, of whom you told me? And he said: God be gracious to thee, my son.
29Alawa ae la kona maka iluna, ike mai la i kona kaikaina ia Beniamina, ke keiki a kona makuwahine ponoi, a i mai la ia, O ko oukou kaikaina anei keia, a oukou i olelo mai ai ia'u? A olelo ae la hoi ia, E aloha mai ke Akua ia oe, e kuu keiki.
30And he made haste because his heart was moved upon his brother, and tears gushed out: and going into his chamber he wept.
30Wikiwiki ae la o Iosepa; no ka mea, ua mokumokuahua kona manawa i kona kaikaina, imi ae la ia i kahi e uwe ai; komo ae la ia i kona keena maluna, a uwe iho la ilaila.
31And when he had washed his face, coming out again, he refrained himself, and said: Set bread on the table.
31Holoi ae la ia i kona maka, hele aku la iwaho, a uumi iho la ia i kona aloha, a olelo aku la, E ho mai i ka ai.
32And when it was set on, for Joseph apart, and for his brethren apart, for the Egyptians also that ate with him, apart, (for it is unlawful for the Egyptians to eat with the Hebrews, and they think such a feast profane):
32Kau mai la lakou nana ma ke kaawale, a na lakou ma ke kaawale, a na ko Aigupita i ai pu me ia ma ke kaawale; no ka mea, aole e hiki i ko Aigupita, ke ai pu me na Hebera, he mea haumia ia i ko Aigupita.
33They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his age. And they wondered very much:
33Noho iho la lakou imua ona, o ka hiapo e like me kona hanau mua ana, a o ka muli loa e like me kona hanau muli ana mai. Kahaha iho la ko lakou naau kekahi i kekahi.
34Taking the messes which they received of him: and the greater mess came to Benjamin, so that it exceeded by five parts. And they drank, and were merry with him.
34Lalau ae la ia i ka ai a haawi aku la ia lakou, mai kona alo aku, ua palimaia ka Beniamina i ka lakou. Inu pu lakou a olioli me ia.
