Tobija 2

Biblija Hrvatski	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Kad sam se dakle sa svojom ženom Anom i sa sinom Tobijom opet našao na svome, bijaše mi na Pedesetnicu, a to je Blagdan sedmicâ, priređen lijep objed i ja sjedoh da blagujem.	1 When I arrived home and my wife Anna and my son Tobias were restored to me, at the feast of Pentecost, which is the sacred festival of the seven weeks, a good dinner was prepared for me and I sat down to eat.
2 Vidjevši ona mnoga jela, rekoh sinu: »Idi i dovedi jednoga od naše braće na koga naiđeš a koji se sjeća Gospodina. Eto, čekat ću te!«	2 Upon seeing the abundance of food I said to my son, "Go and bring whatever poor man of our brethren you may find who is mindful of the Lord, and I will wait for you."
3 Kad se sin vratio, kaza: »Oče, jedan od našega roda zadavljen je i bačen na trg.«	3 But he came back and said, "Father, one of our people has been strangled and thrown into the market place."
4 A ja, ništa i ne okusiv, skočih na noge i unesoh onoga mrtvaca u jednu kuću, gdje mogaše ostati sve do zalaza sunca.	4 So before I tasted anything I sprang up and removed the body to a place of shelter until sunset.
5 Potom se vratih, umih se i pojedoh svoj objed u žalosti.	5 And when I returned I washed myself and ate my food in sorrow.
6 Sjetih se Amosova proročanstva: »Svetkovine vaše u tugu će se pretvoriti, a radosti vaše kuknjavom će postati.« I zaplakah.	6 Then I remembered the prophecy of Amos, how he said, "Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your festivities into lamentation." And I wept.
7 Kad je sunce zašlo, odoh, iskopah raku i sahranih mrtvoga.	7 When the sun had set I went and dug a grave and buried the body.
8 Susjedi mi se rugali i govorili: »Zar se ne boji da će ga zbog toga ubiti? Jednom se izvukao, a sad opet pokopa mrtvace.«	8 And my neighbors laughed at me and said, "He is no longer afraid that he will be put to death for doing this; he once ran away, and here he is burying the dead again!"
9 Iste noći, poslije onog ukopa, vratih se kući, a kako bijah nečist, legoh kraj zida u vrtu; bilo je toplo pa sam spavao otkrivena lica.	9 On the same night I returned from burying him, and because I was defiled I slept by the wall of the courtyard, and my face was uncovered.
10 Nisam znao da je u zidu bila ptičica. I kako mi oči bijahu otvorene, padoše mi tople ptičje izmetine u oči i od toga dobih bijele mrlje. Išao sam liječnicima, ali mi ne mogoše pomoći. Uzdržavao me Ahikar dok ne ode u Elimaidu.	10 I did not know that there were sparrows on the wall and their fresh droppings fell into my open eyes and white films formed on my eyes. I went to physicians, but they did not help me. Ahikar, however, took care of me until he went to Elymais.
11 Moja je žena Ana odonda zarađivala ručnim radom: prela je i tkala.	11 Then my wife Anna earned money at women's work.
12 Kad bi gospodarima obavila posao, platili bi joj. Sedmoga dana mjeseca distrosa dovrši tako jedan rad i posla ga gospodarima. Oni joj sve isplatiše i povrh toga pokloniše jare.	12 She used to send the product to the owners. Once when they paid her wages, they also gave her a kid;
13 Kad ga dovede, jare poče večati. Upitah ženu: »Odakle ti jare? Da možda nije ukradeno? Vrati ga gospodarima, jer nije dopušteno jesti što je ukradeno.«	13 and when she returned to me it began to bleat. So I said to her, "Where did you get the kid? It is not stolen, is it? Return it to the owners; for it is not right to eat what is stolen."
14 A ona odgovori: »Dadoše mi ga kao dar povrh plaće.« Ali ja nisam vjerovao, nego sam joj, naljutivši se na nju, svejednako govorio da ga vrati gospodarima. A ona onda odgovori: »Gdje su tvoje milostinje i tvoja dobra djela? Eto, vide se na tebi!«	14 And she said, "It was given to me as a gift in addition to my wages." But I did not believe her, and told her to return it to the owners; and I blushed for her. Then she replied to me, "Where are your charities and your righteous deeds? You seem to know everything!"
