Livro de Tobias 11

SAGRADA BIBLIA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 De regresso, chegaram no décimo primeiro dia de viagem a Caserim, que está a meio caminho na direção de Nínive.	1 And as they were returning they came to Charan, which is in the midway to Ninive, the eleventh day.
2 O anjo disse então: Tobias, meu irmão, tu sabes em que estado deixaste o teu pai.	2 And the angel said: Brother Tobias, thou knowest how thou didst leave thy father.
3 Se for do teu agrado, poderíamos tomar a dianteira, deixando a tua mulher, os servos e os rebanhos seguirem devagar pelo caminho.	3 If it please thee therefore, let us go before, and let the family follow softly after us, together with thy wife, and with the beasts.
4 Tendo Tobias concordado com esse parecer, Rafael disse-lhe: Leva contigo o fel do peixe, porque vais precisar dele. Tomou, pois, Tobias o fel e partiram.	4 And as this their going pleased him, Raphael said to Tobias: Take with thee of the gall of the fish, for it will be necessary. So Tobias took some of that gall and departed.
5 Entretanto, Ana ia todos os dias assentar-se perto do caminho, no cimo de uma colina, de onde podia ver ao longe.	5 But Anna sat beside the way daily, on the top of a hill, from whence she might see afar off.
6 Ela espreitava ali a volta de seu filho, quando o viu de longe que voltava e o reconheceu. Correu ao seu marido e disse-lhe: Eis que aí vem o teu filho!	6 And while she watched his coming from that place, she saw him afar off, and presently perceived it was her son coming: and returning she told her husband, saying: Behold thy son cometh.
7 Ora, Rafael tinha dito a Tobias: Logo que entrares em tua casa, adorarás o Senhor teu Deus e dar-lhe-ás graças. Irás em seguida beijar teu pai,	7 And Raphael said to Tobias: As soon as thou shalt come into thy house, forthwith adore the Lord thy God: and giving thanks to him, go to thy father, and kiss him.
8 e pôr-lhe-ás imediatamente nos olhos o fel do peixe que tens contigo. Sabe que seus olhos se abrirão instantaneamente e que teu pai verá a luz do céu. E, vendo-te, ficará cheio de alegria.	8 And immediately anoint his eyes with this gall of the fish, which thou carriest with thee. For be assured that his eyes shall be presently opened, and thy father shall see the light of heaven, and shall rejoice in the sight of thee.
9 O cão, que os tinha acompanhado durante a viagem, correu então adiante como um mensageiro, e mostrava 437	9 Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran before, and coming as if he had brought the news, shewed his joy by his fawning and wagging his tail.
10 O pai cego levantou-se e pôs-se a correr, tropeçando. Dando então a mão a um criado, foi ao encontro de seu filho.	10 And his father that was blind, rising up, began to run stumbling with his feet: and giving a servant his hand, went to meet his son.
11 Abraçou-o e beijou-o, fazendo o mesmo sua mulher, e ambos começaram a chorar de alegria.	11 And receiving him kissed him, as did also his wife, and they began to weep for joy.
12 Só se assentaram depois de terem adorado e agradecido a Deus.	12 And when they had adored God, and given him thanks, they sat down together.
13 Tobias tomou então o fel do peixe e pô-lo nos olhos de seu pai.	13 Then Tobias taking of the gall of the fish, anointed his father's eyes.
14 Depois de ter esperado cerca de meia hora, começou a sair-lhe dos olhos uma belida branca como a membrana de um ovo.	14 And he stayed about half an hour: and a white skin began to come out of his eyes, like the skin of an egg.
15 Tobias tomou-a e a arrancou dos olhos de seu pai, o qual recobrou instantaneamente a vista.	15 And Tobias took hold of it, and drew it from his eyes, and immediately he recovered his sight.
16 E louvaram a Deus, ele, sua mulher e todos os que o conheciam.	16 And they glorified God, both he and his wife and all that knew them.
17 Bendigo-vos, Senhor Deus de Israel, dizia ele, porque depois de me terdes provado, me salvastes: eis que vejo o meu filho Tobias!	17 And Tobias said: I bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because thou hast chastised me, and thou hast saved me: and behold I see Tobias my son.
18 Sete dias depois, chegou também Sara, mulher de seu filho, com todos os seus servos, em boa saúde, com os rebanhos, os camelos, o grande dote da esposa, e mais o dinheiro recebido de Gabael.	18 And after seven days Sara his son's wife, and all the family arrived safe, and the cattle, and the camels, and an abundance of money of his wife's: and that money also which he had received of Gabelus:
19 Tobias contou a seus pais todos os benefícios que Deus lhe tinha feito por intermédio de seu guia.	19 And he told his parents all the benefits of God, which he had done to him by the man that conducted him.
20 Chegaram também Aquior e Nabat, primos de Tobit, felizes de poderem congratular-se com ele pelos benefícios que Deus lhe tinha prodigalizado.	20 And Achior and Nabath the kinsmen of Tobias came, rejoicing for Tobias, and congratulating with him for all the good things that God had done for him.
21 Durante sete dias houve festa e grande regozijo.	21 And for seven days they feasted and rejoiced all with great joy.
