Tobia 11

BIBBIA TINTORI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 L'undecima giornata del viaggio di ritorno, giunsero a Caran, che è a mezza strada per andare a Ninive.	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 Allora l'angelo disse: « Fratello Tobia, tu sai in quale stato lasciasti tuo padre:	2 And the Angel said: “Brother Tobias, you know how you left behind your father.
3 se ti sembra bene, si potrebbe andare avanti noi, e far venire dietro a piccole giornate i tuoi servi colla tua moglie e cogli animali ».	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 Avendo Tobia approvata la cosa, Raffaele gli disse: « Prendi teco del fiele del pesce, perchè ti sarà necessario ». Tobia prese di quel fiele, e partirono.	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 Or Anna tutti i giorni si metteva a seder lungo la via sulla cima d'una collina da cui poteva vedere lontano.	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 Mentre di lassù ne spiava l'arrivo, lo vide in lontananza, e subito riconobbe il suo figlio che tornava, e corse a darne la notizia al marito, dicendo: « Ecco il tuo figlio che viene ».	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 Intanto Raffaele diceva a Tobia: « Appena sarai entrato in casa tua, adora subito il Signore Dio tuo, e ringrazialo; poi avvicinati a tuo padre e, dopo averlo baciato,	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 ungi subito i suoi occhi con questo fiele di pesce che porti teco, e sappi che all'istante s'apriranno i suoi occhi, e il padre tuo vedrà la luce del cielo e si rallegrerà nel vederti ».	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 Allora il cane, che li aveva accompagnati nel viaggio, corse, innanzi come messaggero, ad avvisare scodinzolando festoso.	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 Il padre, cieco, alzatosi, si diè a correre, ma inciampicando coi piedi, diede la mano ad un ragazzo, e andò incontro al suo figlio,	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 Abbracciatolo, lo baciò, egli e la sua moglie, e cominciarono tutti e due a piangere di gioia.	11 And receiving him, he kissed him, as did his wife, and they both began to weep for joy.
12 Dopo aver adorato Dio e averlo ringraziato si misero a sedere.	12 And when they had adored God and had given thanks, they sat down together.
13 Allora Tobia, preso del fiele del pesce, ne unse gli occhi del padre.	13 Then Tobias, taking from the gall of the fish, anointed his father’s eyes.
14 Dopo quasi mezz'ora d'attesa, cominciò ad uscire dagli occhi di lui una pellicola bianca simile alla membrana d'un uovo.	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 Tobia la prese e la trasse dagli occhi del padre, che ricuperò subito la vista.	15 So, taking hold of it, Tobias pulled it away from his eyes, and immediately he received his sight.
16 Egli, la sua moglie e tutti quelli che lo conoscevano, glorificarono Dio.	16 And they glorified God: Tobit especially, and his wife, and all those who knew him.
17 E Tobia si mise a dire: « Ti benedico, o Signore Dio d'Israele, perchè, dopo avermi castigato m'hai guarito, ed ecco ch'io vedo il mio Tobia ».	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 Di lì a sette giorni, giunse anche Sara moglie di suo figlio, e tutta la servitù in ottima salute, e gli armenti, i cammelli, e la gran quantità di danaro della moglie, ed anche il danaro ritirato da Gabelo.	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 Tobia raccontò ai suoi genitori tutti i benefici che Dio gli aveva fatti per mezzo di quell'uomo che l'aveva accompagnato.	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 Anche Achior e Nabat, cugini di Tobia, andarono a rallegrarsi con Tobia e a congratularsi con lui di tutti i favori che Dio gli aveva fatti.	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 Per sette giorni banchettarono, facendo tutti grandissima festa.	21 And for seven days they feasted, and all were rejoicing with great joy.
