Tobija 11

Biblija Hrvatski	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Nastaviše put dok se ne približiše Ninivi.	1 And as they were returning, they came through to Haran, which is in the middle of the journey, opposite Nineveh, on the eleventh day.
2 Onda Rafael kaza Tobiji: »Ne znaš li, brate, u kakvu si stanju ostavio oca svoga?	2 And the Angel said: “Brother Tobias, you know how you left behind your father.
3 Potrčimo nas dvojica prije tvoje žene i priredimo kuću:	3 And so, if it pleases you, let us go on ahead, and let the family follow after us with a slower step, together with your bride, and with the animals.”
4 uzmi u ruku riblju žuč.« Krenuše, a pas za njima.	4 And since it pleased him to go on in this way, Raphael said to Tobias, “Take with you from the gall of the fish, for it will be necessary.” And so, Tobias took from its gall, and he went ahead.
5 Dotle je Ana sjedila i gledala na put ne bi li ugledala svoje dijete.	5 But Anna sat beside the way every day, on the top of a hill, from where she would be able to see for a long distance.
6 Izdaleka ga opazi pa reče Tobitu: »Evo, vraća se sin tvoj i čovjek koji ga pratio.«	6 And while she was watching for his arrival from that place, she looked far off, and soon she realized that her son was approaching. And running, she reported it to her husband, saying: “Behold, your son arrives.”
7 A Rafael reče Tobiji: »Znam da će otac tvoj otvoriti oči.	7 And Raphael said to Tobias: “As soon as you enter into your house, immediately adore the Lord your God. And, giving thanks to him, approach your father, and kiss him.
8 Ribljom žuči namaži njegove oči, a on će ih, oćutjevši svrbež, protrljati i tako skinuti s njih bijele mrlje i tebe vidjeti.«	8 And immediately anoint his eyes from this gall of the fish, which you carry with you. For you should know that his eyes will soon be opened, and your father will see the light of heaven, and he will rejoice at the sight of you.”
9 Dotle se Ana, potrčavši naprijed, baci u zagrljaj sinu svome i reče mu: »Opet te vidim, sine moj! Od ovoga časa mogu mirno umrijeti!« Nato oboje zaplakaše.	9 Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran ahead, and, arriving like a messenger, he showed his joy by fawning and wagging his tail.
10 Tobit iziđe na vrata i spotače se, ali sin potrča k njemu	10 And rising up, his blind father began to run, stumbling with his feet. And giving his hand to a servant, he ran on to meet his son.
11 i pridrža ga, razmaza žuč ocu preko očiju i kaza: »Hrabro, oče moj!«	11 And receiving him, he kissed him, as did his wife, and they both began to weep for joy.
12 Kad ga oči zasvrbješe, protrlja ih, a iz očinjih mu se kutića oljuštiše bijele mrlje.	12 And when they had adored God and had given thanks, they sat down together.
13 Ugledavši sina, zagrli ga, zaplaka i probesjedi:	13 Then Tobias, taking from the gall of the fish, anointed his father’s eyes.
14 »Blagoslovljen da si, Bože, blagoslovljeno tvoje ime uvijeke i blagoslovljeni svi tvoji sveti anđeli! Jer si me udario pa se smilovao na me: evo gledam svoga sina Tobiju!«	14 And about half an hour passed, and then a white film began to come out of his eyes, like the membrane of an egg.
15 Njegov sin, sav sretan, uđe u kuću te izvijesti oca o velikim događajima što su mu se zbili u Mediji.	15 So, taking hold of it, Tobias pulled it away from his eyes, and immediately he received his sight.
16 Tobit, prepun radosti i blagoslivljajući Boga, pođe ususret snahi, prema vratima Ninive. Oni koji su ga vidjeli kako hoda bijahu zadivljeni što je progledao, a Tobit priznavaše pred njima da mu se Bog smilovao.	16 And they glorified God: Tobit especially, and his wife, and all those who knew him.
17 Kada Tobit dođe do Sare, snahe svoje, pozdravi je govoreći joj: »Dobro došla, kćeri moja! Blagoslovljen Bog koji te doveo k nama! I neka su ti blagoslovljeni i otac i majka!«	17 And Tobit said, “I bless you, O Lord God of Israel, because you have chastised me, and you have saved me, and behold, I see my son Tobias.”
18 I velika radost obuze svu braću njegovu u Ninivi.	18 And then, after seven days, Sarah, the wife of his son, and all the family arrived safely, along with the sheep, and the camels, and much money from his wife, but also with that money which he had received from Gabael.
19 A dođoše i Ahikar i njegov nećak Nasbas pa se Tobijina svadba u veselju slavila sedam dana.	19 And he explained to his parents all the benefits from God, which he had produced all around him, by means of the man who had led him.
	20 And then Ahikar and Nadab arrived, the maternal first cousins of Tobias, rejoicing for Tobias, and congratulating with him for all the good things that God had revealed all around him.
	21 And for seven days they feasted, and all were rejoicing with great joy.
