Livro de Tobias 10

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 O casamento de Tobias tinha retardado a sua volta. Seu pai, muito inquieto, dizia: Por que será que meu filho tarda tanto? Por que se demora lá?	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?
2 Teria Gabael porventura falecido, de sorte que não haveria ninguém para restituir o dinheiro?	2 Do you think that Gabael has died, and that no one will repay him the money?”
3 Ele entristeceu-se extremamente com isso, assim como Ana, sua mulher, e ambos se puseram a chorar, porque seu filho não voltava no tempo previsto.	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.
4 Sua mãe, principalmente, derramava lágrimas inesgotáveis, e dizia: Ai, ai, meu filho! Por que te mandamos lá? Tu que eras a luz de nossos olhos, o bordão de nossa velhice, a consolação de nossa vida e a esperança de nossa raça!	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?
5 Nós, que em ti só tínhamos tudo, não te devíamos ter deixado ir para longe de nós.	5 Having all things together as one in you, we ought not to have dismissed you from us.”
6 Tobit dizia-lhe: Cala-te, não te aflijas! Nosso filho está passando bem; aquele homem com quem nós o mandamos é um homem de confiança.	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.”
7 Mas ela continuava inconsolável: todos os dias ela saía para fora, olhava para todos os lados, e corria por todos os caminhos, por onde poderia voltar o filho, a fim de vê-lo ao longe, se fosse possível.	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.
8 Entretanto, Raguel dizia ao seu genro: Fica aqui, mandarei notícias a Tobit, teu pai, a respeito de tua saúde.	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.”
9 Mas Tobias disse-lhe: Sei que meu pai e minha mãe contam os dias e que se acham em grande tormento.	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.”
10 Raguel insistiu ainda, apresentando muitas razões, mas Tobias não quis ouvi-lo. Então entregou-lhe Sara com a metade de seus bens em servos, servas, rebanhos, camelos, vacas, e em grande soma de dinheiro. Despediu-o cheio de saúde e alegria,	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,
11 dizendo-lhe: Que o santo anjo do Senhor vos acompanhe pelo caminho, e vos conduza sãos e salvos. Faço votos de que encontreis tudo em ordem em casa de vossos pais, e que eu possa ver os vossos filhos antes de morrer!	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.”
12 Os pais beijaram sua filha e deixaram-na partir,	12 And the parents, taking hold of their daughter, kissed her and let her go:
13 recomendando-lhe que honrasse seus sogros, amasse o seu marido, educasse bem a sua família e	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.
