Tobija 3

Biblija Hrvatski	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Ojađen zaplakah i počeh moliti pun tuge:	1 Then I being grieved did weep, and in my sorrow prayed, saying,
2 »Pravedan si, Gospode, sva su tvoja djela i svi tvoji putovi milosrđe i istina: ti si sudac svijeta.	2 O Lord, thou art just, and all thy works and all thy ways are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly for ever.
3 Spomeni me se i pogledaj na me: ne kažnjavaj me zbog mojih grijeha ni zbog prijestupa otaca mojih, koji su griješili pred tobom.	3 Remember me, and look on me, punish me not for my sins and ignorances, and the sins of mg fathers, who have sinned before thee:
4 Uistinu smo prestupili zapovijedi tvoje te si nas prepustio pljački, zatočenju, smrti i poruzi među svim narodima među koje si nas razasuo.	4 For they obeyed not thy commandments: wherefore thou hast delivered us for a spoil, and unto captivity, and unto death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed.
5 Pravedni su tvoji sudovi zbog grijeha što ih činih ja i moji oci, jer se nismo držali tvojih zapovijedi, nismo u istini hodili pred tobom.	5 And now thy judgments are many and true: deal with me according to my sins and my fathers': because we have not kept thy commandments, neither have walked in truth before thee.
6 Sad postupaj sa mnom po svojoj volji, odluči se da prihvatiš moj duh, da umrem i postanem zemlja. Jer mi je bolje umrijeti nego živjeti i slušati lažne prijekore i gorčinu u duši kupiti. Zapovjedi da budem oslobođen od ove pokore pa da odem u prostore vječne: ne odvrći lica svoga od mene.«	6 Now therefore deal with me as seemeth best unto thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be dissolved, and become earth: for it is profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much sorrow: command therefore that I may now be delivered out of this distress, and go into the everlasting place: turn not thy face away from me.
7 Istoga dana i Sari, kćeri Raguelovoj, u Ekbatani Medijskoj, dogodi se te je izruži jedna sluškinja njezina oca	7 It came to pass the same day, that in Ecbatane a city of Media Sara the daughter of Raguel was also reproached by her father's maids;
8 zbog toga što je sedam muževa, za koje Sara bijaše pošla, pakosni zloduh Asmodej ubio prije nego što su ušli k njoj. Reče joj ona sluškinja: »Jest, ubijaš svoje muževe! Sedam si ih imala, a ne bijaše ti sreće ni s jednim.	8 Because that she had been married to seven husbands, whom Asmodeus the evil spirit had killed, before they had lain with her. Dost thou not know, said they, that thou hast strangled thine husbands? thou hast had already seven husbands, neither wast thou named after any of them.
9 Zašto nas kažnjavaš? Ako su umrli, poteci za njima! Nikad mi ne vidjele ni tvoga sina ni tvoje kćeri!«	9 Wherefore dost thou beat us for them? if they be dead, go thy ways after them, let us never see of thee either son or daughter.
10 Kad je Sara to čula, veoma se ražalostila. Plačući je otišla u očevu sobu, u nakani da se objesi. Ali onda, promislivši, reče u sebi: »Zar da mi oca kude i da mu predbacuju: ‘Imao si jedinu, ljubljenu, kćer, pa ti se, na nesreću, i ona objesila.’ Starog bih oca svoga rastužila i gurnula u carstvo mrtvih. Ne, neću se objesiti: bolje mi je moliti Boga da mi udijeli smrt da nikad više ne čujem ovakvih uvreda.«	10 Whe she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.
11 Sarina molitva I raskrilivši ruke kraj prozora, pomoli se ovako: »Blagoslovljen, Bože milosrđa, i blagoslovljeno tvoje ime navijeke! Blagoslivljaju te sva tvoja djela zauvijek.	11 Then she prayed toward the window, and said, Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thine holy and glorious name is blessed and honourable for ever: let all thy works praise thee for ever.
12 Obraćam, Gospode, lice svoje k tebi i oči upirem u te.	12 And now, O Lord, I set I mine eyes and my face toward thee,
13 Zapovijedi, Gospode, da pođem s ove zemlje i da više nikada ne čujem one uvrede.	13 And say, Take me out of the earth, that I may hear no more the reproach.
14 Ti znaš, Gospode, da sam čista od svakoga grijeha s čovjekom	14 Thou knowest, Lord, that I am pure from all sin with man,
15 i da nisam uprljala ime svoje, ni ime oca svojega u zemlji sužanjstva. Jedina sam kći u oca, nema on drugoga djeteta koje bi ga naslijedilo, niti kakva brata blizu, niti rođaka koga bih čekala. Sedam sam muževa već izgubila: ta čemu bih još živjela? Ne želiš li mi smrt udijeliti, svrni onda pogled na me i smiluj se da nikad više ne čujem onih uvreda.«	15 And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of my father, in the land of my captivity: I am the only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep myself for a wife: my seven husbands are already dead; and why should I live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach.
16 Obje molitve bijahu uslišane pred slavom Gospodnjom.	16 So the prayers of them both were heard before the majesty of the great God.
17 I bi poslan Rafael, anđeo Gospodnji, da ih oboje izliječi: da skine bijele mrlje s Tobita i vid mu vrati; a Saru, kćer Raguelovu, da dade za ženu Tobiji, sinu Tobitovu, te da okuje pakosnog zloduha Asmodeja: jer je ona Tobiji bila namijenjena. U isto vrijeme Tobit se vrati u svoju kuću, a Sara, kći Raguelova, siđe iz gornje sobe.	17 And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit's eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The selfsame time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.
