Tobia 14

BIBBIA TINTORI	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Così finirono le parole di Tobia. Dopo aver ricuperata la vista, Tobia visse quarantadue anni, e vide i figli dei suoi nipoti.	1 So Tobit made an end of praising God.
2 Visse fino a centodue anni compiti, e fu sepolto con onore in Ninive.	2 And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him.
3 A cinquantasei anni perse la vista, a sessanta la ricuperò;	3 And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.
4 il resto della vita lo passò nella gioia, e sempre più avanzando nel timor di Dio, se ne andò in pace.	4 Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media; and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;
5 Giunta l'ora della sua morte, chiamò a sè il figlio Tobia e sette giovinetti, figli di lui e suoi nipoti, e disse loro:	5 And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.
6 « E' vicina la rovina di Ninive, perchè la parola del Signore non cade per terra; i nostri fratelli, dispersi fuor della terra d'Israele, vi faranno ritorno;	6 And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God truly, and shall bury their idols.
7 tutto il paese deserto sarà ripopolato, la casa di Dio, che vi fu data alle fiamme, sarà di nuovo riedificata, e tutti quelli che temono Dio vi ritorneranno;	7 So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.
8 e le genti abbandoneranno i loro idoli e verranno a Gerusalemme ad abitarvi,	8 And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass.
9 e tutti i re della terra vi staran pieni di gioia ad adorare il re d'Israele.	9 But keep thou the law and the commandments, and shew thyself merciful and just, that it may go well with thee.
10 Or dunque ascoltate, o figli miei, il vostro padre: servite il Signore nella verità, studiatevi di fare ciò che gli è gradito;	10 And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.
11 raccomandate ai vostri figli di praticar la giustizia, di fare elemosine, di ricordarsi di Dio, di benedirlo in ogni tempo nella verità, e con tutta la loro forza.	11 Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.
12 Ed ora, date retta a me, figli miei, non restate qui, ma appena avrete seppellita accanto a me, nello stesso sepolcro, la vostra madre, in quello stesso giorno, mettetevi in viaggio per uscire da questa città,	12 And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with his father. But Tobias departed with his wife and children to Ecbatane to Raguel his father in law,
13 perchè vedo bene che la sua iniquità la porterà alla rovina ».	13 Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit's.
14 Dopo la morte di sua madre, Tobia partì da Ninive colla sua moglie, i figli e i figli dei figli, e tornò dai suoceri,	14 And he died at Ecbatane in Media, being an hundred and seven and twenty years old.
15 che trovò sani e salvi, in prospera vecchiaia. Egli n'ebbe cura, chiuse i loro occhi, raccolse tutta l'eredità della casa di Raguele, e vide i figli dei suoi figli sin alla quinta generazione.	15 But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.
16 Morì compiuti novantanove anni, nel timore del Signore, pieni di gioia, e lo seppellirono.
17 Tutta la sua parentela e tutti i suoi discendenti perseverarono nella santa vita e nella buona condotta, in modo da essere accetti tanto a Dio quanto agli uomini e a tutti gli abitanti del paese.
