Tobit 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Then Tobiah replied to his father Tobit: "Everything that you have commanded me, father, I will do.	1 Tobija odgovori ocu: »Oče moj, učinit ću sve što si mi naredio.
2 But how shall I be able to obtain the money from him, since he does not know me nor do I know him? What can I show him to make him recognize me and trust me, so that he will give me the money? I do not even know which roads to take for the journey into Media!"	2 Samo, kako ću preuzeti novac kad ne znam onoga u koga je pohranjen?«
3 Tobit answered his son Tobiah: "We exchanged signatures on a document written in duplicate; I divided it into two parts, and each of us kept one; his copy I put with the money. Think of it, twenty years have already passed since I deposited that money! So now, my son, find yourself a trustworthy man who will make the journey with you. We will, of course, give him a salary when you return; but get back that money from Gabael."	3 Onda mu otac dade zadužnicu i reče: »Potraži čovjeka koji će ići s tobom, a ja ću ga nagraditi. Idi, dakle, i podigni novac.«
4 Tobiah went to look for someone acquainted with the roads who would travel with him to Media. As soon as he went out, he found the angel Raphael standing before him, though he did not know that this was an angel of God.	4 Tobija ode da potraži takva čovjeka i nađe Rafaela. Tobija nije znao da je to anđeo Božji.
5 Tobiah said to him, "Who are you, young man?" He replied "I am an Israelite, one of your kinsmen. I have come here to work." Tobiah said, "Do you know the way to Media?"	5 I upita ga: »Bi li htio sa mnom u Rages Medijski? Znaš li put onamo?«
6 The other replied: "Yes, I have been there many times. I know the place well and I know all the routes. I have often traveled to Media; I used to stay with our kinsman Gabael, who lives at Rages in Media. It is a good two days' travel from Ecbatana to Rages, for Rages is situated at the mountains, Ecbatana out on the plateau."	6 Anđeo mu odvrati: »Bih. Poći ću s tobom. Znam put, bijah već gost našega brata Gabaela.«
7 Tobiah said to him, "Wait for me, young man, till I go back and tell my father; for I need you to make the journey with me. I will, of course, pay you."	7 Tobija mu reče: »Počekaj da javim ocu.«
8 Raphael replied, "Very well, I will wait for you; but do not be long."	8 Anđeo mu kaza: »Idi i ne zadržavaj se.«
9 Tobiah went back to tell his father Tobit what had happened. He said to him, "I have just found a man who is one of our own Israelite kinsmen!" Tobit said, "Call the man, so that I may find out what family and tribe he comes from, and whether he is trustworthy enough to travel with you, son." Tobiah went out to summon the man, saying, "Young man, my father would like to see you."	9 Onda Tobija ode ocu te mu reče: »Evo, našao sam onoga koji će ići sa mnom.« A otac će mu: »Dovedi ga meni da čujem kojemu plemenu pripada i je li pouzdan da ti bude pratilac.«
10 When Raphael entered the house, Tobit greeted him first. Raphael said, "Hearty greetings to you!" Tobit replied: "What joy is left for me any more? Here I am, a blind man who cannot see God's sunlight, but must remain in darkness, like the dead who no longer see the light! Though alive, I am among the dead. I can hear a man's voice, but I cannot see him." Raphael said, "Take courage! God has healing in store for you; so take courage!" Tobit then said: "My son Tobiah wants to go to Media. Can you go with him to show him the way? I will of course pay you, brother." Raphael answered: "Yes, I can go with him, for I know all the routes. I have often traveled to Media and crossed all its plains and mountains; so I know every road well."	10 Tobija ga zovnu, pa kad on uđe, zagrliše se.
11 Tobit asked, "Brother, tell me, please, what family and tribe are you from?"	11 Onda ga Tobit upita: »Brate, kojemu rodu i kojoj obitelji pripadaš? Kaži mi!«
12 Raphael said: "Why? Do you need a tribe and a family? Or are you looking for a hired man to travel with your son?" Tobit replied, "I wish to know truthfully whose son you are, brother, and what your name is."	12 On mu odgovori: »Tražiš li rod i obitelj ili nekoga koji će za nagradu pratiti tvoga sina?« Tobit će mu na to: »Brate, hoću da znam koji su ti preci i kako se zoveš.«
13 Raphael answered, "I am Azariah, son of Hananiah the elder, one of your own kinsmen."	13 A on će: »Ja sam Azarja, sin Ananije, najstarijeg od tvoje braće.«
14 Tobit exclaimed: "Welcome! God save you, brother! Do not be provoked with me, brother, for wanting to learn the truth about your family. So it turns out that you are a kinsman, and from a noble and good line! I knew Hananiah and Nathaniah, the two sons of Shemaiah the elder; with me they used to make the pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where we would worship together. No, they did not stray from the right path; your kinsmen are good men. You are certainly of good lineage, and welcome!"	14 Tobit mu kaza: »Dobro mi došao! I ne ljuti se na me zato što sam htio doznati za tvoj rod i za tvoje ime. Ti si, dakle, moj brat iz ugledna i plemenita roda. Poznavao sam dobro i Ananiju i Jatana, sinove velikog Semeja, kad smo išli zajedno u Jeruzalem da se poklonimo i prikažemo prvine i desetine plodina. Oni nisu nikada zašli na stranputicu. Braća su ti ljudi valjani. Pripadaš plemenitu rodu.
15 Then he added: "For each day you are away I will give you the normal wages, plus expenses for you and for my son. If you go with my son,	15 Ali mi kaži kakvu ću ti nagradu dati: jednu drahmu na dan i sve što je potrebno tebi i mome sinu.
16 I will even add a bonus to your wages!" Raphael replied: "I will go with him; have no fear. In good health we shall leave you, and in good health we shall return to you, for the way is safe."	16 I još ću ti dodati nešto povrh plaće kad se vratite živi i zdravi.«
17 Tobit said, "God bless you, brother." Then he called his son and said to him: "My son, prepare whatever you need for the journey, and set out with your kinsman. May God in heaven protect you on the way and bring you back to me safe and sound; and may his angel accompany you for safety, my son." Before setting out on his journey, Tobiah kissed his father and mother. Tobit said to him, "Have a safe journey."	17 Dogovoriše se tako. A onda kaza Tobiji: »Spremi se i sretan vam put obojici!« Sin spremi sve za put. I reče mu njegov otac: »Idi s ovim čovjekom, a Bog koji na nebu stoluje udijelio vam sretno putovanje i anđeo njegov pratio vas!«
18 But his mother began to weep. She said to Tobit: "Why have you decided to send my child away? Is he not the staff to which we cling, ever there with us in all that we do?	18 Ali Ana, majka Tobijina, zaplaka i ukori Tobita: »Zašto si dopustio da nam sin ode? Nije li on štap naših ruku kad ulazi i izlazi pred nama?
19 I hope more money is not your chief concern! Rather let it be a ransom for our son!	19 Ne bilo toga novca, smeće je prema našem sinu.
20 What the Lord has given us to live on is certainly enough for us."	20 Ta ovo što nas je Bog ostavio u životu – dosta nam je.«
21 Tobit reassured her: "Have no such thought. Our son will leave in good health and come back to us in good health. Your own eyes will see the day when he returns to you safe and sound.	21 Tobit joj odgovori: »Ne govori tako, sestro. Vratit će se on živ i zdrav i tvoje će ga oči opet ugledati.
22 So, no such thought; do not worry about them, my love. For a good angel will go with him, his journey will be successful, and he will return unharmed."	22 Ta prati ga dobar anđeo i njegovo će putovanje biti sretno, vratit će se živ i zdrav.«
	23 Onda ona prestade plakati.
