Tobit, 10
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. A otac Tobijin brojio svaki dan. I kad je prošlo vrijeme za povratak a sina ne bijaše,
2. Do you think that Gabael has died, and that no one will repay him the money?”
2. reèe Tobit: "Možda su odbijeni? Ili je možda umro Gabael pa novac nije predan?"
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. I rastuži se veoma.
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. Kaza mu žena: "Dijete je stradalo kad ga tako dugo nema."
5. Having all things together as one in you, we ought not to have dismissed you from us.”
5. I poèe jadikovati: "Kako da ne budem zabrinuta, dijete moje, kad sam ti dopustila da odeš, svjetlo oèiju mojih!"
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. Tobit je stade tješiti: "Šuti, ne govori: njemu je dobro."
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. Ona mu odgovori: "Šuti ti i ne zavaravaj me; znam ja, stradalo je dijete moje." Svakog je dana izlazila na cestu kojom je sin krenuo na put; danju ne bi ni dodirnula jela, a noæu nije prestajala jadikovati za svojim Tobijom. Kad proðe èetrnaest dana svadbenih za kojih Raguel zaklinjaše Tobiju da ostane,
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. Tobija kaza Raguelu: "Pusti me da idem, jer su veæ otac moj i majka moja izgubili nadu da æe me još ugledati."
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. Tast ga zamoli: "Ostani kod mene, a ja æu se pobrinuti da pronaðem nekoga koji æe ocu tvome donijeti vijesti o tebi." Ali mu Tobija odvrati: "Ne, nego me pusti da idem k ocu svome!"
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. Raguel onda ustade, preda mu Saru, njegovu ženu, i polovicu imutka, sluge, stoku i novac.
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. Pošto ih je blagoslovio, oprosti se s njima govoreæi: "Djeco, Bog nebeski nek' vam udijeli sreæu još prije nego što umrem."
12. And the parents, taking hold of their daughter, kissed her and let her go:
12. A svojoj kæeri kaza: "Poštuj svekra i svekrvu: oni su ti sada roditelji. I da èujem samo dobre vijesti o tebi." I poljubi je.
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. Onda Edna reèe Tobiji: "Ljubljeni brate moj, nek' ti Gospodar neba dade sretan povratak, a meni neka udijeli milost da vidim djecu koju æeš imati s mojom Sarom, da osjetim radost pred Gospodom. Evo, predajem ti kæer svoju na èuvanje: ne žalosti je."
14.
14. Zahvalivši Bogu što mu je udijelio sretan put i poželjevši blagoslov Raguelu i Edni, ženi njegovoj, Tobija krenu.
