Tobit 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblia Matos Soares
1 Then they left and began their return journey. When they were near Kaserin, just before Nineveh,	1 De regresso, chegaram no undécimo dia a Caran, que está no meio do caminho para Nínive.
2 Raphael said: "You know how we left your father.	2 O anjo disse: Irmão Tobias, tu sabes o estado em que deixaste teu pai.
3 Let us hurry on ahead of your wife to prepare the house while the rest of the party are still on the way."	3 Se assim, pois, te parece bem, vamos nós adiante, e os teus domésticos sigam-nos devagar com tua mulher e com os gados
4 So they both went on ahead and Raphael said to Tobiah, "Have the gall in your hand!" And the dog ran along behind them.	4 Tendo Tobias achado bom este parecer, disse-lhe Rafael: Traz contigo do fel do peixe, porque será necessário. Tomou, portanto, Tobias do fel, e partiram.
5 Meanwhile, Anna sat watching the road by which her son was to come.	5 Entretanto Ana todos os dias se ia assentar junto da estrada, no alto duma colina, donde podia ver ao longe,
6 When she saw him coming, she exclaimed to his father, "Tobit, your son is coming, and the man who traveled with him!"	6 Enquanto desse lugar espreitava a sua vinda, viu ao longe e logo reconheceu seu filho que vinha; (logo) correu a dar a nova a seu marido, dizendo: Eis ai vem teu filho.
7 Raphael said to Tobiah before he reached his father: "I am certain that his eyes will be opened.	7 Ao mesmo tempo Rafael disse a Tobias: Quando tiveres entrado em tua casa, adora logo ao Senhor teu Deus e dá-lhe graças; depois aproxima-te de teu pai e dá-lhe um beijo.
8 Smear the fish gall on them. This medicine will make the cataracts shrink and peel off from his eyes; then your father will again be able to see the light of day."	8 Unta-lhe imediatamente os seus olhos com este fel do peixe, que trazes contigo, porque está certo que logo os seus olhos se abrirão, que teu pai verá a luz do céu e se alegrará em te ver,
9 Then Anna ran up to her son, threw her arms around him, and said to him, "Now that I have seen you again, son, I am ready to die!" And she sobbed aloud.	9 Então o cão, que os tinha seguido pelo caminho, correu adiante e, como que trazendo a nova, mostrava o seu contentamento e fazia festas, abanando a cauda.
10 Tobit got up and stumbled out through the courtyard gate. Tobiah went up to him	10 O pai, levantando-se, começou a correr cego, tropeçando. Dando, então, a mão a um criado, foi ao encontro de seu filho.
11 with the fish gall in his hand, and holding him firmly, blew into his eyes. "Courage, father," he said.	11 Abraçou-o e beijou-o, fazendo o mesmo sua mulher, e ambos começaram a chorar de alegria.
12 Next he smeared the medicine on his eyes,	12 Depois que adoraram a Deus e lhe deram graças, assentaram-se.
13 and it made them smart. Then, beginning at the corners of Tobit's eyes, Tobiah used both hands to peel off the cataracts. When Tobit saw his son, he threw his arms around him	13 Então Tobias, tomando do fel do peixe, untou os olhos de seu pai.
14 and wept. He exclaimed, "I can see you, son, the light of my eyes!" Then he said: "Blessed be God, and praised be his great name, and blessed be all his holy angels. May his holy name be praised throughout all the ages,	14 Esperou quase meia hora, e, (então), começou a sair de seus olhos uma belida, como a película dum ovo.
15 Because it was he who scourged me, and it is he who has had mercy on me. Behold, I now see my son Tobiah!" Then Tobit went back in, rejoicing and praising God with full voice. Tobiah told his father that his journey had been a success; that he had brought back the money; and that he had married Raguel's daughter Sarah, who would arrive shortly, for she was approaching the gate of Nineveh. '	15 Tobias, pegando nela, tirou-a dos olhos do pai, que imediatamente recobrou a vista,
16 Rejoicing and praising God, Tobit went out to the gate of Nineveh to meet his daughter-in-law. When the people of Nineveh saw him walking along briskly, with no one leading him by the hand, they were amazed.	16 E glorificaram a Deus, ele, sua mulher e todos os que ó conheciam.
17 Before them all Tobit proclaimed how God had mercifully restored sight to his eyes. When Tobit reached Sarah, the wife of his son Tobiah, he greeted her: "Welcome, my daughter! Blessed be your God for bringing you to us, daughter! Blessed are your father and your mother. Blessed is my son Tobiah, and blessed are you, daughter! Welcome to your home with blessing and joy. Come in, daughter!" That day there was joy for all the Jews who lived in Nineveh.	17 Tobias dizia: Eu te bendigo. Senhor Deus de Israel, por me teres castigado e por me teres curado; eis que vejo o meu filho Tobias!
18 Ahiqar and his nephew Nadab also came to rejoice with Tobit. They celebrated Tobiah's wedding feast for seven happy days, and he received many gifts.	18 Passados sete dias, chegou também Sara, mulher de seu filho, com todos os seus servidores, de boa saúde, com os rebanhos, os camelos, o grande dote do seu casamento e com o dinheiro restituído por Gabelo.
	19 Tobias contou a seus pais todos os benefícios que Deus Ihe tinha feito, por meio desse homem, que o conduzira.
	20 Aquior e Nabat, primos de Tobias, foram regozijar-se com Tobias, congratular-se com ele por todos os favores que Deus lhe tinha feito.
	21 Banqueteando-se durante sete dias, todos se regozijaram com a maior alegria.
