Tobit 8

NEW JERUSALEM	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 When they had finished eating and drinking and it seemed time to go to bed, the young man was takenfrom the dining room to the bedroom.	1 Depois do jantar, introduziram o jovem no aposento de Sara.
2 Tobias remembered Raphael's advice; he went to his bag, took the fish's heart and liver out of it and putsome on the burning incense.	2 E Tobias, fiel às indicações do anjo, tirou do seu alforje uma parte do fígado e o pôs sobre brasas acesas.
3 The reek of the fish distressed the demon, who fled through the air to Egypt. Raphael pursued himthere, shackled him and strangled him forthwith.	3 Nesse momento, o anjo Rafael tomou o demônio e prendeu-o no deserto do Alto Egito.
4 The parents meanwhile had gone out and shut the door behind them. Tobias rose from the bed, andsaid to Sarah, 'Get up, my sister! You and I must pray and petition our Lord to win his grace and his protection.'	4 Então Tobias encorajou a jovem com estas palavras: Levanta-te, Sara, e roguemos a Deus, hoje, amanhã e depois de amanhã. Estaremos unidos a Deus durante essas três noites. Depois da terceira noite consumaremos nossa união;
5 She stood up, and they began praying for protection, and this was how he began: You are blessed, OGod of our fathers; blessed too is your name for ever and ever. Let the heavens bless you and al things youhave made for evermore.	5 porque somos filhos dos santos (patriarcas), e não nos devemos casar como os pagãos que não conhecem a Deus.
6 You it was who created Adam, you who created Eve his wife to be his help and support; and from thesetwo the human race was born. You it was who said, 'It is not right that the man should be alone; let us make hima helper like him.'	6 Levantaram-se, pois, ambos, e oraram juntos fervorosamente para que lhes fosse conservada a vida.
7 And so I take my sister not for any lustful motive, but I do it in singleness of heart. Be kind enough tohave pity on her and on me and bring us to old age together.	7 Tobias disse: Senhor Deus de nossos pais, bendigam-vos os céus, a terra, o mar, as fontes e os rios, com todas as criaturas que neles existem.
8 And together they said, 'Amen, Amen,'	8 Vós fizestes Adão do limo da terra, e destes-lhe Eva por companheira.
9 and lay down for the night. But Raguel rose and cal ed his servants, who came and helped him dig agrave.	9 Ora, vós sabeis, ó Senhor, que não é para satisfazer a minha paixão que recebo a minha prima como esposa, mas unicamente com o desejo de suscitar uma posteridade, pela qual o vosso nome seja eternamente bendito.
10 He had thought, 'Heaven grant he does not die! We should be overwhelmed with ridicule and shame.'	10 E Sara acrescentou: Tende piedade de nós, Senhor; tende piedade de nós, e fazei que cheguemos juntos a uma ditosa velhice!
11 When the grave was ready, Raguel went back to the house, called his wife	11 Ora, ao cantar do galo, Raguel chamou os seus criados e foram juntos cavar uma sepultura.
12 and said, 'Will you send a maid to the room to see if Tobias is stil alive? For if he is dead, we may beable to bury him without anyone else knowing.'	12 Quem sabe, dizia ele, se não aconteceu a esse o mesmo que aos outros sete homens que se aproximaram dela?
13 They sent the maid, lit the lamp, opened the door and the maid went in. She found the two fast asleeptogether;	13 Cavada a fossa, voltou para junto de sua mulher e disse:
14 she came out again and whispered, 'He is not dead; al is wel .'	14 Manda uma de tuas escravas ver se ele morreu, a fim de que eu possa enterrá-lo antes de clarear o dia.
15 Then Raguel blessed the God of heaven with these words: You are blessed, my God, with everyblessing that is pure; may you be blessed for evermore!	15 Ela o fez. E a serva, tendo entrado no aposento, encontrou-os bem vivos, dormindo juntos.
16 You are blessed for having made me glad. What I feared has not happened, instead you have shownus your boundless mercy.	16 Ela voltou e deu essa boa nova; e Raguel com sua mulher louvaram o Senhor, dizendo:
17 You are blessed for taking pity on this only son, this only daughter. Grant them, Master, your mercyand your protection; let them live out their lives in happiness and in mercy.	17 Nós vos bendizemos, Senhor Deus de Israel, porque não se realizou o que temíamos.
18 And he made his servants fil the grave in before dawn broke.	18 Usastes conosco de vossa misericórdia, expulsando para longe de nós o inimigo que nos perseguia, 19. e tivestes piedade de dois filhos únicos. Fazei, ó Senhor, que eles vos bendigam sempre mais, e vos ofereçam um sacrifício de louvor pela sua conservação, a fim de que todas as nações pagãs conheçam que vós sois o único Deus de toda a terra.
19 He told his wife to make an ovenful of bread; he went to his flock, brought back two oxen and foursheep and gave orders for them to be cooked; and preparations began.
20 He called Tobias and said, 'I wil not hear of your leaving here for a fortnight. You are to stay whereyou are, eating and drinking, with me. You wil make my daughter happy again after al her troubles.	20 Raguel ordenou imediatamente aos seus criados que enchessem de novo, antes que clareasse o dia, a cova que haviam feito.
21 After that, take away a half of al I have, and take her safe and sound back to your father. When mywife and I are dead you shall have the other half. Courage, my boy! I am your father, and Edna is your mother.We are your parents in future, as we are your sister's. Courage, my son!'	21 Disse à sua mulher que aprontasse um banquete e preparasse todos os víveres necessários aos viajantes.
	22 Mandou também matar duas vacas gordas e quatro carneiros, destinados a um festim para todos os seus vizinhos e amigos.
	23 E instou com Tobias que ficasse com ele duas semanas.
