Tobit 10

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA MARTINI
1 In truth, when Tobias was delayed because of the marriage celebration, his father Tobit was worried, saying: “Why do you think my son is delayed, or why has he been detained there?	1 Ma tardando Tobia per ragione delle nozze, il suo padre Tobia era inquieto, e diceva: chi sa per qual motivo si trattenga colà il mio figliuolo, e il perchè sia rattenuto?
2 Do you think that Gabael has died, and that no one will repay him the money?”	2 Chi sa che non sia morto Gabelo, e non si trovi chi gli renda quel denaro?
3 And so he began to be exceedingly sad, both he and his wife Anna with him. And they both began to weep together, because their son did not at least return to them on the appointed day.	3 E cominciò ad affligersi formisura sì egli, come Anna sua moglie, perchè non tornava il loro figliuolo dentro il tempo stabilito.
4 But his mother wept inconsolable tears, and also said: “Woe, woe to me, O my son. Why did we send you to journey far away, you: the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the solace of our life, the hope of our posterity?	4 Quindi la madre di lui piangeva a cald'occhi, e diceva: Ahi, ahi figlio mio: perchè ti abbiam noi mandato lontano, lume degli occhi nostri, baston di nostra vecchiezza, consolazione di nostra vita, speranza della nostra posterità?
5 Having all things together as one in you, we ought not to have dismissed you from us.”	5 Avendo noi in te solo ogni cosa, non dovevamo mandarti lungi da noi.
6 And Tobit was saying to her: “Be calm, and do not be troubled. Our son is safe. That man, with whom we sent him, is faithful enough.”	6 Ma Tobia le diceva; taci, non ti inquietare il nostro figliuolo sta bene: assai fedele è colui in compagnia del quale noi lo abbiamo mandato.
7 Yet she was by no means able to be consoled. But, leaping up every day, she looked all round, and traveled around all the ways, by which there seemed any hope that he might return, so that she might possibly see him coming from afar.	7 Ma quella in verun modo non potea darsi pace, ma ogni giorno scappando fuora guardava da tutte le parti, e andava attorno per tutte le strade, donde sperava, ch'ei ritornasse, per vederlo venire (se possibil era) da lungi.
8 In truth, Raguel said to his son-in-law, “Remain here, and I will send a message of your health to your father Tobit.”	8 Ma Raguele diceva al genero: Statti quì e io manderò a far fapere a Tobia tuo padre come tu stai bene.
9 And Tobias said to him, “I know that my father and my mother have now counted the days, and their spirit must be tortured within them.”	9 Ma Tobia disse a lui: Io so, che il padre mio, e mia madre contano adesso i giorni, e il loro spirito è alla tortura.
10 And when Raguel had repeatedly petitioned Tobias, and he was by no means willing to listen to him, he delivered Sarah to him, and half of all his substance: with men and women servants, with sheep, camels, and cows, and with much money. And he dismissed him away, in safety and gladness, from him,	10 E dopo che Raguele ebbe fatte molte istanze a Tobia, non volendo questi arrendersi in verun modo, egli rimise a lui Sara, e la metà di tutto quello, che aveva, di servi, e di serve, di bestiame, e di cammelli, e di vacche, e di denaro, che era molto, e lo licenziò da se sano, e contento;
11 saying: “May the holy Angel of the Lord be with your journey, and may he lead you through unharmed, and may you discover that all is right concerning your parents, and may my eyes see your sons before I die.”	11 Dicendo: L'Angelo santo del Signore sia con voi per viaggio, vi conduca sani, e salvi, e troviate in prosperità i genitori vostri, e possan vederegli occhi miei i vostri figliuoli prima ch'io muoia.
12 And the parents, taking hold of their daughter, kissed her and let her go:	12 E abbracciata la figlia i genitori la baciarono, e la lasciaron partire;
13 admonishing her to honor her father-in-law, to love her husband, to guide the family, to govern the household, and to behave irreproachably herself.	13 Ammonendola, che onorasse i suoceri, amasse il marito, reggesse la famiglia, governasse la casa, e si mantenesse ella stessa irreprensibile.
