Genesis 43
Maori Bible
43 A, he tino nui te matekai o te whenua.
2 A, ka pau te witi i maua mai e ratou i Ihipa, na ka mea to ratou papa ki a ratou, Hoki atu ki te hoko i tetahi wahi kai ma tatou.
3 A ka korero a Hura ki a ia, ka mea, I tino whakatupato taua tangata i a matou, i mea, E kore koutou e kite i toku mata ki te kahore to koutou teina i a koutou.
4 Ki te tukua e koe to matou teina hei hoa mo matou, ka haere matou ki raro ki te hoko kai mau:
5 Ki te kahore ia e tukua e koe, e kore matou e haere ki raro: no te mea i ki mai taua tangata ki a matou, E kore koutou e kite i toku mata ki te kahore to koutou teina i a koutou.
6 Na ka mea a Iharaira, He aha koutou i ngarahu kino ai ki ahau, i whakaatu ai ki taua tangata he teina ano to koutou?
7 A ka mea ratou, I tino ui taua tangata ki o matou ahua, ki o matou whanaunga hoki, i mea mai, E ora ana ano ranei to koutou papa? tena ano ranei tetahi atu teina o koutou? a rite tonu ki enei kupu ta matou i korero ai ki a ia: tera ranei matou e ata mohio ka ki mai ia, Kawea mai to koutou teina ki raro nei?
8 Na ka mea a Hura ki tona papa, ki a Iharaira, Tukua te tamaiti ki ahau, a ka whakatika matou, ka haere; kia ora ai tatou, kei mate tahi hoki matou me koe, me a matou potiki.
9 Ko ahau hei utu mona; me rapu ia e koe i toku ringa: ki te kahore ahau e kawe mai i a ia ki a koe, e whakatu hoki i a ia ki tou aroaro, na, hei whakahenga ahau mau i nga ra katoa:
10 Me i kahore hoki matou i roa nei, kua rua enei hokinga mai o matou inaianei.
11 Katahi ka mea a Iharaira, to ratou papa ki a ratou, Ki te mea ra he penei te hanga, ko tenei ta koutou e mea ai; maua atu etahi o nga hua papai o te whenua i roto i a koutou oko, kawea atu hoki he hakari ki raro, ki taua tangata, tetahi wahi pam a, me tetahi wahi honi, etahi aramona:
12 Kia takirua hoki nga hiriwa e maua atu i roto i o koutou ringa; ko te moni hoki i whakahokia mai i te waha o a koutou peke, me whakahoki atu ano tena i roto i o koutou ringa; he pohehe noa pea tena:
13 Kawea atu ano hoki to koutou teina, a whakatika, hoki atu ano ki taua tangata:
14 A ma te Atua Kaha Rawa e tuku mai ki a koutou kia arohaina mai e taua tangata, kia tonoa mai ano e ia tera tuakana o koutou, raua ko Pineamine. Ko ahau hoki, ki te whakapania ahau, ka whakapania ahau.
15 Na ka mau aua tangata ki taua hakari, e rua hoki nga moni i maua atu e ratou i roto i o ratou ringa, me Pineamine hoki: a whakatika ana ratou, haere ana ki raro, ki Ihipa, a ka tu ki te aroaro o Hohepa.
16 A, ka kitea a Pineamine e Hohepa i roto i a ratou, na ka mea ia ki te kaitohutohu o tona whare, Kawea ena tangata ki te whare, patua he kai, taka hoki; ka kai tahi hoki matou ko ena tangata ina tu te ra.
17 Na ka meatia e taua tangata ta Hohepa i ki ai; a ka kawea aua tangata e taua tangata ki te whare o Hohepa.
18 Na ka wehi aua tangata, mo ratou i kawea ki te whare o Hohepa; a ka mea ratou, Mo te moni i whakahokia i roto i a tatou peke i te haerenga tuatahi i kawea mai ai tatou; kia whai take mai ai ia ki a tatou, mo tana rere mai ki a tatou ki te tango i a tatou hei pononga, me a tatou kaihe hoki.
19 Na ka whakatata ratou ki te kaitohutohu o te whare o Hohepa, ka korero ki a ia i te kuwaha o te whare,
20 Ka mea, E te ariki, i haere mai ano matou i mua ki te hoko kai:
21 A, no to matou taenga ki te whare tira, i ta matou whakatuwheratanga i a matou peke, na, ko te moni a tenei, a tenei, i te waha o tana peke, ta matou moni, rite tonu te taimaha: a kua whakahokia mai taua mea e matou i roto i o matou ringa.
22 Kua kawea mai ano e matou i roto i o matou ringa tetahi atu moni hei hoko kai: kahore matou e mohio na wai ranei i maka a matou moni ki a matou peke.
23 A ka mea ia, Kia tau te rangimarie ki a koutou, kaua e wehi: na to koutou Atua, na te Atua hoki o to koutou papa i homai he taonga ki a koutou ki roto ki a koutou peke: i tae mai ano ta koutou moni ki ahau. A ka kawea e ia a Himiona ki a ratou.
24 Na ka kawe taua tangata i aua tangata ki te whare o Hohepa, ka hoatu e ia he wai hei horoi mo o ratou waewae; i hoatu ano e ia he kai ma a ratou kaihe.
25 Na ka taka e ratou te hakari mo te taenga mai o Hohepa i te awatea: i rongo hoki ratou me kai taro ratou ki reira.
26 A, i te taenga mai o Hohepa ki te whare, ka kawea e ratou ki a ia te hakari a o ratou ringa ki te whare, a ka piko ki a ia ki te whenua.
27 Na ka ui ia ki a ratou ki te pai, ka mea, Kei te pai ranei to koutou papa, te koroheke i korerotia mai ra e koutou? E ora ana ano ranei ia?
28 A ka mea ratou ki a ia, Kei te pai tau pononga, to matou papa, e ora ana ano ia. Na ka tuohu ratou, ka piko iho.
29 Ka maranga tona kanohi, ka kite ia i a Pineamine, i tona teina, i te tama a tona whaea, a ka mea, Ko to koutou teina tenei, ko te whakaotinga i korerotia ra e koutou ki ahau? I mea ano ia, Kia aroha te Atua ki a koe, e taku tama.
30 Na ka hohoro a Hohepa; he tokonga ake hoki no tona ngakau aroha ki tona teina: a ka rapua e ia tetahi wahi hei tangihanga; a haere ano ia ki te ruma i roto, ki reira tangi ai.
31 Na ka horoia e ia tona mata, ka puta ki waho, ka whakamanawanui, ka mea, Whakatakotoria he taro.
32 Na ka whakatakotoria e ratou, mana ki a ia anake, ma ratou ki a ratou anake, ma nga Ihipiana, i kai tahi me ia, ki a ratou anake: e kore hoki e ahei i nga Ihipiana te kai taro tahi me nga Hiperu; he mea whakarihariha hoki tena ki nga Ihipiana.
33 Na ka noho ratou ki tona aroaro, to mua rite tonu ano ki tona muanga, to muri rite tonu ano ki tona muringa; a miharo ana aua tangata tetahi ki tetahi.
34 Na ka tuwhaina atu e ia etahi o nga wahi i tona aroaro ma ratou: he nui rawa ia te wahi i a Pineamine; me i takirimatia te wahi a tetahi o ratou kua rite ki tana. Na ka inu ratou, ka koa tahi me ia.

The Second Journey to Egypt
43 Now the famine was still severe in the land.(A) 2 So when they had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt,(B) their father said to them, “Go back and buy us a little more food.”(C)
3 But Judah(D) said to him, “The man warned us solemnly, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.’(E) 4 If you will send our brother along with us, we will go down and buy food for you.(F) 5 But if you will not send him, we will not go down, because the man said to us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.(G)’”
6 Israel(H) asked, “Why did you bring this trouble(I) on me by telling the man you had another brother?”
7 They replied, “The man questioned us closely about ourselves and our family. ‘Is your father still living?’(J) he asked us. ‘Do you have another brother?’(K) We simply answered his questions. How were we to know he would say, ‘Bring your brother down here’?”(L)
8 Then Judah(M) said to Israel(N) his father, “Send the boy along with me and we will go at once, so that we and you and our children may live and not die.(O) 9 I myself will guarantee his safety; you can hold me personally responsible for him.(P) If I do not bring him back to you and set him here before you, I will bear the blame(Q) before you all my life.(R) 10 As it is, if we had not delayed,(S) we could have gone and returned twice.”
11 Then their father Israel(T) said to them, “If it must be, then do this: Put some of the best products(U) of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift(V)—a little balm(W) and a little honey, some spices(X) and myrrh,(Y) some pistachio nuts and almonds. 12 Take double the amount(Z) of silver with you, for you must return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks.(AA) Perhaps it was a mistake. 13 Take your brother also and go back to the man at once.(AB) 14 And may God Almighty[a](AC) grant you mercy(AD) before the man so that he will let your other brother and Benjamin come back with you.(AE) As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”(AF)
15 So the men took the gifts and double the amount of silver,(AG) and Benjamin also. They hurried(AH) down to Egypt and presented themselves(AI) to Joseph. 16 When Joseph saw Benjamin(AJ) with them, he said to the steward of his house,(AK) “Take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare a meal;(AL) they are to eat with me at noon.”
17 The man did as Joseph told him and took the men to Joseph’s house.(AM) 18 Now the men were frightened(AN) when they were taken to his house.(AO) They thought, “We were brought here because of the silver that was put back into our sacks(AP) the first time. He wants to attack us(AQ) and overpower us and seize us as slaves(AR) and take our donkeys.(AS)”
19 So they went up to Joseph’s steward(AT) and spoke to him at the entrance to the house. 20 “We beg your pardon, our lord,” they said, “we came down here the first time to buy food.(AU) 21 But at the place where we stopped for the night we opened our sacks and each of us found his silver—the exact weight—in the mouth of his sack. So we have brought it back with us.(AV) 22 We have also brought additional silver with us to buy food. We don’t know who put our silver in our sacks.”
23 “It’s all right,” he said. “Don’t be afraid. Your God, the God of your father,(AW) has given you treasure in your sacks;(AX) I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.(AY)
24 The steward took the men into Joseph’s house,(AZ) gave them water to wash their feet(BA) and provided fodder for their donkeys. 25 They prepared their gifts(BB) for Joseph’s arrival at noon,(BC) because they had heard that they were to eat there.
26 When Joseph came home,(BD) they presented to him the gifts(BE) they had brought into the house, and they bowed down before him to the ground.(BF) 27 He asked them how they were, and then he said, “How is your aged father(BG) you told me about? Is he still living?”(BH)
28 They replied, “Your servant our father(BI) is still alive and well.” And they bowed down,(BJ) prostrating themselves before him.(BK)
29 As he looked about and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother’s son,(BL) he asked, “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?”(BM) And he said, “God be gracious to you,(BN) my son.” 30 Deeply moved(BO) at the sight of his brother, Joseph hurried out and looked for a place to weep. He went into his private room and wept(BP) there.
31 After he had washed his face, he came out and, controlling himself,(BQ) said, “Serve the food.”(BR)
32 They served him by himself, the brothers by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because Egyptians could not eat with Hebrews,(BS) for that is detestable to Egyptians.(BT) 33 The men had been seated before him in the order of their ages, from the firstborn(BU) to the youngest;(BV) and they looked at each other in astonishment. 34 When portions were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s.(BW) So they feasted(BX) and drank freely with him.
