Tobia 11

BIBBIA MARTINI	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Or ritornando indietro giunsero l'undecimo giorno a Charan, la quale è a mezza strada dirimpetto 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 E l'Angelo disse: Fratello Tobia, tu sai in quale stato lasciasti il padre tuo.	2 And the Angel said: “Brother Tobias, you know how you left behind your father.
3 Quindi, se così ti piace andiam noi innanzi, e la famiglia a lento passo ci segua insieme 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 Ed effendo risoluti di di andare, disse Raphaele a Tobia: prendi teco del fiele di pesce, perocchè ti verrà a taglio: e 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 stava redendo ogni dì lungo la strada sulla cima di una collina, donde potea vedere in molta distanza.	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 E mentre stava colà alle vedette aspettandolo, vide da lungi, e riconobbe il suo figliuolo, e corse a darne la nuova al marito dicendo: E' quà 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 E Raphaele disse a Tobia: Or quando tu sarai entrato in casa tua, subito adora il Signore Dio tuo, e rendute a lui le grazie, accostati al padre tuo, e bacialo:	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 E tosto stropiccia gli occhi di lui con quel fiele del pesce, che hai teco, perocchè tu dei sapere, che immediatamente si apriranno i suoi occhi, e il padre tuo vedrà la luce del cielo, e giubbilerà in veggendoti.	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 gli avea seguitati nel viaggio corse innanzi, e quasi venisse apportator di buona novella, faceva sesta, menando in giro la sua coda.	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 E alzatosi il padre cieco si pose a correre inciampando co' piedi; ma preso per mano un servo, andò incontro al figliuolo.	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 E accogliendolo lo baciò, e sua moglie, e principiarono ambedue a piangere di allegrezza.	11 And receiving him, he kissed him, as did his wife, and they both began to weep for joy.
12 E dopo avere adorato Dio, e rendute le grazie, si misero a sedere.	12 And when they had adored God and had given thanks, they sat down together.
13 Allora Tobia, preso il fiele del pesce, ne stropicciò gli occhi del padre:	13 Then Tobias, taking from the gall of the fish, anointed his father’s eyes.
14 E s'intertenne per circa mezz'ora; e cominciò a uscire dagli occhi di lui una materia bianca simile alla membrana di 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 E Tobia prendendola la trasse dagli occhi di lui, il quale subito riebbe la vista.	15 So, taking hold of it, Tobias pulled it away from his eyes, and immediately he received his sight.
16 E glorificavano Dio tanto egli, come la sua moglie, e tutti i suoi conoscenti.	16 And they glorified God: Tobit especially, and his wife, and all those who knew him.
17 E Tobia diceva: Io ti benedico, Signore Dio d'Israele, perchè tu mi hai castigato, e salvato: ed ecco ch'io veggo il mio figliuolo 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 E di lì a sette giorni giunse anche Sara moglie di suo figliuolo, e tutta la famiglia in sanità, e i bestiami, e i cammelli, e il denaro della moglie in buona quantità, e anche quel denaro riscosso 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 E Tobia raccontò a suoi genitori tutti i benefizi fattigli da Dio per mezzo di quell'uomo, che lo avea condotto.	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 E vennero Achior, e Nabath cugini di Tobia a rallegrassi, e congratulars; con lui di tutti i favori, che Dio gli avea 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 E per sette giorni banchettando fecer tutti grandissima festa.	21 And for seven days they feasted, and all were rejoicing with great joy.
