Tobit 3

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Then Tobias sighed, and began to pray with tears,	1 Ojađen zaplakah i počeh moliti pun tuge:
2 Saying: Thou art just, O Lord, and all thy judgments are just, and all thy ways mercy, and truth, and judgment:	2 »Pravedan si, Gospode, sva su tvoja djela i svi tvoji putovi milosrđe i istina: ti si sudac svijeta.
3 And now, O Lord, think of me, and take not revenge of my sins, neither remember my offenses, nor those of my parents.	3 Spomeni me se i pogledaj na me: ne kažnjavaj me zbog mojih grijeha ni zbog prijestupa otaca mojih, koji su griješili pred tobom.
4 For we have not obeyed thy commandments, therefore are we delivered to spoil and to captivity, and death, and are made a fable, and a reproach to all nations, amongst which thou hast scattered us.	4 Uistinu smo prestupili zapovijedi tvoje te si nas prepustio pljački, zatočenju, smrti i poruzi među svim narodima među koje si nas razasuo.
5 And now, O Lord, great are thy judgments, because we have not done according to thy precepts, and have not walked sincerely before thee:	5 Pravedni su tvoji sudovi zbog grijeha što ih činih ja i moji oci, jer se nismo držali tvojih zapovijedi, nismo u istini hodili pred tobom.
6 And now, O Lord, do with me according to thy will, and command my spirit to be received in peace: for it is better for me to die, than to live.	6 Sad postupaj sa mnom po svojoj volji, odluči se da prihvatiš moj duh, da umrem i postanem zemlja. Jer mi je bolje umrijeti nego živjeti i slušati lažne prijekore i gorčinu u duši kupiti. Zapovjedi da budem oslobođen od ove pokore pa da odem u prostore vječne: ne odvrći lica svoga od mene.«
7 Now it happened on the same day, that Sara daughter of Raguel, in Rages a city of the Medes, received a reproach from one of her father's servant maids,	7 Istoga dana i Sari, kćeri Raguelovoj, u Ekbatani Medijskoj, dogodi se te je izruži jedna sluškinja njezina oca
8 Because she had been given to seven husbands, and a devil named Asmodeus had killed them, at their first going in unto her.	8 zbog toga što je sedam muževa, za koje Sara bijaše pošla, pakosni zloduh Asmodej ubio prije nego što su ušli k njoj. Reče joj ona sluškinja: »Jest, ubijaš svoje muževe! Sedam si ih imala, a ne bijaše ti sreće ni s jednim.
9 So when she reproved the maid for her fault, she answered her, saying: May we never see son, or daughter of thee upon the earth, thou murderer of thy husbands.	9 Zašto nas kažnjavaš? Ako su umrli, poteci za njima! Nikad mi ne vidjele ni tvoga sina ni tvoje kćeri!«
10 Wilt thou kill me also, as thou hast already killed seven husbands? At these words she went into an upper chamber of her house: and for three days and three nights did neither eat nor drink:	10 Kad je Sara to čula, veoma se ražalostila. Plačući je otišla u očevu sobu, u nakani da se objesi. Ali onda, promislivši, reče u sebi: »Zar da mi oca kude i da mu predbacuju: ‘Imao si jedinu, ljubljenu, kćer, pa ti se, na nesreću, i ona objesila.’ Starog bih oca svoga rastužila i gurnula u carstvo mrtvih. Ne, neću se objesiti: bolje mi je moliti Boga da mi udijeli smrt da nikad više ne čujem ovakvih uvreda.«
11 But continuing in prayer with tears besought God, that he would deliver her from this reproach.	11 Sarina molitva I raskrilivši ruke kraj prozora, pomoli se ovako: »Blagoslovljen, Bože milosrđa, i blagoslovljeno tvoje ime navijeke! Blagoslivljaju te sva tvoja djela zauvijek.
12 And it came to pass on the third day, when she was making an end of her prayer, blessing the Lord,	12 Obraćam, Gospode, lice svoje k tebi i oči upirem u te.
13 She said: Blessed is thy name, O God of our fathers: who when thou hast been angry, wilt shew mercy, and in the time of tribulation forgivest the sins of them that call upon thee.	13 Zapovijedi, Gospode, da pođem s ove zemlje i da više nikada ne čujem one uvrede.
14 To thee, O Lord, I turn my face, to thee I direct my eyes.	14 Ti znaš, Gospode, da sam čista od svakoga grijeha s čovjekom
15 I beg, O Lord, that thou loose me from the bond of this reproach, or else take me away from the earth.	15 i da nisam uprljala ime svoje, ni ime oca svojega u zemlji sužanjstva. Jedina sam kći u oca, nema on drugoga djeteta koje bi ga naslijedilo, niti kakva brata blizu, niti rođaka koga bih čekala. Sedam sam muževa već izgubila: ta čemu bih još živjela? Ne želiš li mi smrt udijeliti, svrni onda pogled na me i smiluj se da nikad više ne čujem onih uvreda.«
16 Thou knowest, O Lord, that I never coveted a husband, and have kept my soul clean from all lust.	16 Obje molitve bijahu uslišane pred slavom Gospodnjom.
17 Never have I joined myself with them that play: neither have I made myself partaker with them that walk in lightness.	17 I bi poslan Rafael, anđeo Gospodnji, da ih oboje izliječi: da skine bijele mrlje s Tobita i vid mu vrati; a Saru, kćer Raguelovu, da dade za ženu Tobiji, sinu Tobitovu, te da okuje pakosnog zloduha Asmodeja: jer je ona Tobiji bila namijenjena. U isto vrijeme Tobit se vrati u svoju kuću, a Sara, kći Raguelova, siđe iz gornje sobe.
18 But a husband I consented to take, with thy fear, not with my lust.
19 And either I was unworthy of them, or they perhaps were not worthy of me: because perhaps thou hast kept me for another man.
20 For thy counsel is not in man's power.
21 But this every one is sure of that worshippeth thee, that his life, if it be under trial, shall be crowned: and if it be under tribulation, it shall be delivered: and if it be under correction, it shall be allowed to come to thy mercy.
22 For thou art not delighted in our being lost: because after a storm thou makest a calm, and after tears and weeping thou pourest in joyfulness.
23 Be thy name, O God of Israel, blessed for ever.
24 At that time the prayers of them both were heard in the sight of the glory of the most high God:
25 And the holy angel of the Lord, Raphael was sent to heal them both, whose prayers at one time were rehearsed in the sight of the Lord.
