Tobit 14

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA MARTINI
1 So Tobit made an end of praising God.	1 Così finì Tobia di parlare: ed egli dopo aver ricuperata la vista visse quarantadue anni, e vidde i figliuoli de suoi nipoti,
2 And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him.	2 È compiuta che ebbel' età di cento due anni fu orrevolmente sepolto in Ninive.
3 And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.	3 Imperocchè di cinquantasei anni perdè il lume degli occhi, e lo ricuperò di sessanta.
4 Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media; and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;	4 E il rimanente della sua vita la passò in allegrezza, e con grande avanzamento nel timor di Dio andosene in pace.
5 And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.	5 E al punto di sua morte chiamò a se il figliuolo Tobia, e sette giovanetti figliuoli di lui suoi nipoti, e disse loro:
6 And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God truly, and shall bury their idols.	6 Ell'è imminente la rovina di Ninive, imperochè non cade per terra la parola del Signore: e i nostri fratelli, che sono dispersi fuor della terra d'Israele, vi torneranno.
7 So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.	7 E tutto il paese deserto sarà ripopolato, e la casa di Dio, che fu ivi data alle fiamme, farà ristorata di nuovo, e torneranno colà tutti quelli, che temon Dio.
8 And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass.	8 E le genti abbandoneranno gl'idoli loro, e verranno a Gerusalemme, e ivi abiteramno.
9 But keep thou the law and the commandments, and shew thyself merciful and just, that it may go well with thee.	9 E tutti i re della terra saranno ivi in letizia, adorando il re d'Israele.
10 And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.	10 Ascoltate, adunque, figliuoli miei, il padre vostro: servite di cuor verace il Signore, e studiatevi di fare quello, che piace a lui.
11 Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.	11 E raccomandate a vostri figliuoli, che facciano opere di giustizia, e limosine; che si ricordino di Dio, e in ogni tempo lo benedicano con cuor verace, e con tutto il loro potere.
12 And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with his father. But Tobias departed with his wife and children to Ecbatane to Raguel his father in law,	12 Adesso poi, figliuoli miei, ascoltate me, e non vogliate restarvi quà; ma quando che avvenga, che abbiate accanto a me seppellita nello stesso sepolcro la madre vostra, quel giorno stesso movetevi per partirvi di quà.
13 Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit's.	13 Perocchè io veggo, che la sua iniquità la condurrà al suo termine.
14 And he died at Ecbatane in Media, being an hundred and seven and twenty years old.	14 Or morta che fu sua, madre, Tobia si partì da Ninive colla sua moglie, e co' figliuoli, e coi figliuoli de' figliuoli, e tornò a casa de' suoi suoceri.
15 But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.	15 E li trovò sani, e salvi in prospera vecchiezza, ed ebbe cura di essi, ed egli fu, che chiuse i loro occhi, ed egli raccolse tutta l'eredità della casa di Raguele, e vide i figliuoli de' suoi figliuoli sino alla, quinta generazione.
	16 E compiuti novantanove anni nel timore del Signore, lo seppellirono con gaudio.
	17 Or tutta la fua parentela, e tutti i suoi discendenti perseverarono nel ben vivere, e nelle operazioni sante, talmente che furon cari sì a Dio, e sì agli uomini, e a tutti gli abitanti del paese.
