1A OKI loa iho la ka aina i ka wi.
1The famine was severe in the land.
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.
2When they had eaten up the grain which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said to them, “Go again, buy us a little more food.”
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.
3Judah spoke to him, saying, “The man solemnly warned us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’
4A i hoouna oe i ko makou kaikaina me makou, alaila, hele aku makou ilalo, e kuai i ai nau.
4If you’ll send our brother with us, we’ll go down and buy you food;
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.
5but if you don’t send him, we won’t go down, for the man said to us, ‘You shall not see my face, unless your brother is with you.’”
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?
6Israel said, “Why did you treat me so badly, telling the man that you had another brother?”
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?
7They said, “The man asked directly concerning ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?’ We just answered his questions. Is there any way we could know that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down’?”
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.
8Judah said to Israel, his father, “Send the boy with me, and we’ll get up and go, so that we may live, and not die, both we, and you, and also our little ones.
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.
9I’ll be collateral for him. From my hand will you require him. If I don’t bring him to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever;
10Ina aole makou i hookaulua, ina ua hoi hou mai makou, mai ka lua o ka hele ana.
10for if we hadn’t delayed, surely we would have returned a second time by now.”
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.
11Their father, Israel, said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Take from the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry down a present for the man, a little balm, a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts, and almonds;
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.
12and take double money in your hand, and take back the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.
13E lawe aku hoi oukou i ko oukou kaikaina, a e ku nui iluna, e hele hou aku i ua kanaka la.
13Take your brother also, get up, and return to the man.
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.
14May God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.”
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.
15The men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and got up, went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
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.
16When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Bring the men into the house, and butcher an animal, and prepare; for the men will dine with me at noon.”
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.
17The man did as Joseph commanded, and the man brought the men to Joseph’s house.
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.
18The men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph’s house; and they said, “Because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time, we’re brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, attack us, and seize us as slaves, along with our donkeys.”
19Hookokoke aku la lakou i ka luna o ko Iosepa hale, a kamailio pu lakou me ia ma ka puka o ka hale;
19They came near to the steward of Joseph’s house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,
20I aku la lakou, E kuu haku e, i ko makou hele ana mai mamua, ua hele mai makou e kuai i ai.
20and said, “Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food.
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.
21When we came to the lodging place, we opened our sacks, and behold, each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight. We have brought it back in our hand.
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.
22We have brought down other money in our hand to buy food. We don’t know who put our money in our sacks.”
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.
23He said, “Peace be to you. Don’t be afraid. Your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks. I received your money.” He brought Simeon out to them.
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.
24The man brought the men into Joseph’s house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet. He gave their donkeys fodder.
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.
25They prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.
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.
26When Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves down to the earth before him.
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?
27He asked them of their welfare, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he yet alive?”
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.
28They said, “Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive.” They bowed down humbly.
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.
29He lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?” He said, “God be gracious to you, my son.”
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.
30Joseph hurried, for his heart yearned over his brother; and he sought a place to weep. He entered into his room, and wept there.
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.
31He washed his face, and came out. He controlled himself, and said, “Serve the meal.”
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.
32They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians don’t eat with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
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.
33They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men marveled with one another.
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.
34He sent portions to them from before him, but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. They drank, and were merry with him.
