Tobit, 11

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.

1. Nastaviše put dok se ne približiše Ninivi.

2. And the Angel said: “Brother Tobias, you know how you left behind your father.

2. Onda Rafael kaza Tobiji: "Ne znaš li, brate, u kakvu si stanju ostavio oca svoga?

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.”

3. Potrèimo nas dvojica prije tvoje žene i priredimo kuæu:

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.

4. uzmi u ruku riblju žuè." Krenuše, a pas za njima.

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.

5. Dotle je Ana sjedila i gledala na put ne bi li ugledala svoje dijete.

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.”

6. Izdaleka ga opazi pa reèe Tobitu: "Evo, vraæa se sin tvoj i èovjek koji ga pratio."

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.

7. A Rafael reèe Tobiji: "Znam da æe otac tvoj otvoriti oèi.

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.”

8. Ribljom žuèi namaži njegove oèi, a on æe ih, oæutjevši svrbež, protrljati i tako skinuti s njih bijele mrlje i tebe vidjeti."

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.

9. Dotle se Ana, potrèavši naprijed, baci u zagrljaj sinu svome i reèe mu: "Opet te vidim, sine moj! Od ovoga èasa mogu mirno umrijeti!" Nato oboje zaplakaše.

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.

10. Tobit iziðe na vrata i spotaèe se, ali sin potrèa k njemu

11. And receiving him, he kissed him, as did his wife, and they both began to weep for joy.

11. i pridrža ga, razmaza žuè ocu preko oèiju i kaza: "Hrabro, oèe moj!"

12. And when they had adored God and had given thanks, they sat down together.

12. Kad ga oèi zasvrbješe, protrlja ih, a iz oèinjih mu se kutiæa oljuštiše bijele mrlje.

13. Then Tobias, taking from the gall of the fish, anointed his father’s eyes.

13. Ugledavši sina, zagrli ga, zaplaka i probesjedi:

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.

14. "Blagoslovljen da si, Bože, blagoslovljeno tvoje ime uvijeke i blagoslovljeni svi tvoji sveti anðeli! Jer si me udario pa se smilovao na me: evo gledam svoga sina Tobiju!"

15. So, taking hold of it, Tobias pulled it away from his eyes, and immediately he received his sight.

15. Njegov sin, sav sretan, uðe u kuæu te izvijesti oca o velikim dogaðajima što su mu se zbili u Mediji.

16. And they glorified God: Tobit especially, and his wife, and all those who knew him.

16. Tobit, prepun radosti i blagoslivljajuæi Boga, poðe u susret snahi, prema vratima Ninive. Oni koji su ga vidjeli kako hoda bijahu zadivljeni što je progledao, a Tobit priznavaše pred njima da mu se Bog smilovao.

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.”

17. Kada Tobit doðe do Sare, snahe svoje, pozdravi je govoreæi joj: "Dobro došla, kæeri moja! Blagoslovljen Bog koji te doveo k nama! I neka su ti blagoslovljeni i otac i majka!"

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.

18. I velika radost obuze svu braæu njegovu u Ninivi.

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.

19. A doðoše i Ahikar i njegov neæak Nasbas pa se Tobijina svadba u veselju slavila sedam dana.

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.

20.

21. And for seven days they feasted, and all were rejoicing with great joy.
