8 — Tobias

1And after they had supped, they brought in the young man to her.E Quand'ebber cenato, condussero il giovane nella camera di lei.AND after they had supped, they brought in the yong man to her.Postquam vero cœnaverunt, introduxerunt juvenem ad eam. 2And Tobias remembering the angel’s word, took out of his bag part of the liver, and laid it upon burning coals.E Tobia, memore delle parole dell'Angelo, cavò fuori della sua bisaccia un pezzo di quel fegato, e lo mise sopra accesi carboni.Tobias therfore remembring the Angels word, brought forth out of his bag, part of the liuer, and layd it vpon liue coales.Recordatus itaque Tobias sermonum angeli, protulit de cassidili suo partem jecoris, posuitque eam super carbones vivos. 3Then the angel Raphael took the devil, and bound him in the desert of upper Egypt.Allora l'Angelo Raphaele prese il Demonio, e lo confinò nel deserto dell'Egitto superiore.Then Raphael the Angel tooke the diuel, and bound him in the desert of higher Aegypt.Tunc Raphaël angelus apprehendit dæmonium, et religavit illud in deserto superioris Ægypti. 4Then Tobias exhorted the virgin, and said to her: Sara, arise, and let us pray to God to day, and to morrow, and the next day: because for these three nights we are joined to God: and when the third night is over, we will be in our own wedlock.Allora Tobia ammonì la vergine, e le disse: Sara, levati, e facciamo orazione a Dio oggi, e domane, e il dì seguente, perchè in queste tre notti ci uniremo con Dio, passata poi la terza notte, saremo marito, e moglie:Then Tobias exhorted the virgin, & sayd to her: Sara arise, and let vs pray to God to day, and to morow, and the next morow: because these three nights we are ioyned to God: and when the third night is past, we wil be in our wedlocke.Tunc hortatus est virginem Tobias, dixitque ei: Sara, exsurge, et deprecemur Deum hodie, et cras, et secundum cras: quia his tribus noctibus Deo jungimur; tertia autem transacta nocte, in nostro erimus conjugio. 5For we are the children of saints, and we must not be joined together like heathens that know not God.Perocchè noi siamo figliuoli di Santi, e non possiamo congiungerci come i Gentili, che non conoscono Dio.For we are the children of holie men, & we may not be ioyned together as gentiles, that know not God.Filii quippe sanctorum sumus, et non possumus ita conjungi sicut gentes quæ ignorant Deum. 6So they both arose, and prayed earnestly both together that health might be given them,E alzatisi ambedue pregavano istantemente l'uno, e l'altra, affinchè fosse loro conceduta la sanità.And they rising together, prayed both together that health might be geuen them.Surgentes autem pariter, instanter orabant ambo simul, ut sanitas daretur eis. 7And Tobias said: Lord God of our fathers, may the heavens and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains, and the rivers, and all thy creatures that are in them, bless thee.E Tobia disse: Signore Dio de' padri nostri, benedicano te i cieli, e la terra, e il mare, e le fontane, e i fiumi, e tutte le tue creature, che sono in que'luoghi.And Tobias sayd: Lord God of our fathers, the heauens & the earth, and the sea & fountaynes, and riuers, and al thy creatures that are in them, blesse thee.Dixitque Tobias: Domine Deus patrum nostrorum, benedicant te cæli et terræ, mareque et fontes, et flumina, et omnes creaturæ tuæ quæ in eis sunt.

8Thou madest Adam of the slime of the earth, and gavest him Eve for a helper.Tu facesti Adamo di fango della terra, e gli desti Eva in aiuto.Thou madest Adam of the slime of the earth, & gauest him Eue an helper.Tu fecisti Adam de limo terræ, dedistique ei adjutorium Hevam. 9And now, Lord, thou knowest, that not for fleshly lust do I take my sister to wife, but only for the love of posterity, in which thy name may be blessed for ever and ever.Or tu sai, o signore, com'io prendo questa mia sorella per moglie non per principio di passione, ma per solo amore della prole, in cui si benedica il nome tuo per tutti i secoli.And now Lord thou knowest, that not for fleshlie lust doe I take my sister to wife, but only for the loue of posteritie, in the which thy name may be blessed for euer & euer.Et nunc Domine, tu scis quia non luxuriæ causa accipio sororem meam conjugem, sed sola posteritatis dilectione, in qua benedicatur nomen tuum in sæcula sæculorum. 10Sara also said: Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, and let us grow old both together in health.E Sarà parimente disse: Abbi pietà di noi, o Signore, abbi pietà di noi e fa, che invecchiamo ambedue in sanità.Sara also sayd: Haue mercie on vs Lord, haue mercie vpon vs and let vs grow old both together in health.Dixit quoque Sara: Miserere nobis Domine, miserere nobis, et consenescamus ambo pariter sani. 11And it came to pass about the cockcrowing, Raguel ordered his servants to be called for, and they went with him together to dig a grave.Or quando fu preso al cantare de' galli, Raguele diede ordine, che venissero i suoi servi, i quali andarono insieme con lui a scavare un sepolcro.And it came to passe about the cock crowing, Raguel bad his seruantes to be called for, & they went with him together to digge a graue.Et factum est circa pullorum cantum, accersiri jussit Raguel servos suos, et abierunt cum eo pariter ut foderent sepulchrum. 12For he said: Lest perhaps it may have happened to him, in like manner as it did to the other seven husbands, that went in unto her.Perocchè egli diceva: Chi sa che non sia avvenuto a lui la stessa cosa, che a quegli altri sette mariti, che si accostarono a lei?For he sayd: Lest perhaps it may chance to him, as also to the other seuen husbandes, that went in vnto her.Dicebat enim: Ne forte simili modo evenerit ei, quo et ceteris illis septem viris qui sunt ingressi ad eam. 13And when they had prepared the pit, Raguel went back to his wife, and said to her:E preparata la fossa, tornò Raguelle in casa; e disse alla sua moglie:And when they had prepared the pitte, Raguel returning to his wife, sayd to her:Cumque parassent fossam, reversus Raguel ad uxorem suam, dixit ei:

14Send one of thy maids, and let her see if he be dead, that I may bury him before it be day.Manda una delle tue serve a vedere se egli è morto affinchè io lo seppellisca prima che il dì si rischiari.Send one of thy handmaydes, and let her see if he be dead, that I may burie him before it be day.Mitte unam de ancillis tuis, et videat si mortuus est, ut sepeliam eum antequam illucescat dies. 15So she sent one of her maidservants, who went into the chamber, and found them safe and sound, sleeping both together.E quella mandò una delle sue serve, la quale essendo entrata nella camera, li trovò sani, e salvi, che dormivano insieme.But she sent one of her handmaydes, who going into the chamber, found them safe and sound, sleeping both together.At illa misit unam ex ancillis suis. Quæ ingressa cubiculum, reperit eos salvos et incolumes, secum pariter dormientes. 16And returning she brought the good news: and Raguel and Anna his wife blessed the Lord,E tornò a portare la buona nuova, e tanto Raguel, come Anna sua moglie benedissero Dio.And returning she brought good tydings: and they blessed our Lord, to witte, Raguel & Anna his wife,Et reversa nuntiavit bonum nuntium: et benedixerunt Dominum, Raguel videlicet et Anna uxor ejus, 17And said: We bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because it hath not happened as we suspected.E dissero: Noi ti benediciamo, o Signore Dio d'Israele, non è avvenuto quello, che noi pensavamo.and sayd: We blesse thee Lord God of Israel, because it hath not chanced as we thought.et dixerunt: Benedicimus te, Domine Deus Israël, quia non contigit quemadmodum putabamus. 18For thou hast shewn thy mercy to us, and hast shut out from us the enemy that persecuted us.Perchè tu hai fatta a noi misericordia, ed hai rimosso da noi il nemico, che ci perseguitava;For thou hast done thy metcie with vs, & hast excluded from vs the enemie, that persecuted vs.Fecisti enim nobiscum misericordiam tuam, et exclusisti a nobis inimicum persequentem nos. 19And thou hast taken pity upon two only children. Make them, O Lord, bless thee more fully: and to offer up to thee a sacrifice of thy praise, and of their health, that all nations may know, that thou alone art God in all the earth.Ed hai avuto pietà di due unigeniti, fa, Signore, che essi ti abbiano a benedire ancor più, e offeriscano a te sacrifizio di laude per la loro salute, affinché conoscano tutte quante le genti, che tu solo se Dio in tutta la terra.And thou hast taken pitie vpon two the only children. Make them Lord blesse thee more fully: and to offer vp to thee a sacrifice of thy prayse, and of their health, that al nations may know, that thou art God onlie in al the earth.Misertus es autem duobus unicis. Fac eos, Domine, plenius benedicere te, et sacrificium tibi laudis tuæ et suæ sanitatis offerre, ut cognoscat universitas gentium quia tu es Deus solus in universa terra.

20And immediately Raguel commanded his servants, to fill up the pit they had made, before it was day.E Raguele ordinò subito a' suoi servi, che riempissero prima che si facesse giorno la fossa, che avevano scavata.And forth with Raguel commanded his seruantes, that they should fil vp the pitte, which they had made, before it were day.Statimque præcepit servis suis Raguel ut replerent fossam quam fecerant priusquam elucesceret. 21And he spoke to his wife to make ready a feast, and prepare all kind of provisions that are necessary for such as go a journey.E ordinò alla moglie, che ammannisse il banchetto, e preparasse tutto quello, che è necessario per vivere a quelli, che fan viaggio:And he bad his wife make readie a feast, and prepare al thinges, that for victuals were necessarie to them that goe a iourney.Uxori autem suæ dixit ut instrueret convivium, et præpararet omnia quæ in cibos erant iter agentibus necessaria. 22He caused also two fat kine, and four wethers to be killed, and a banquet to be prepared for all his neighbours, and all his friends,E fece anche uccidere due grasse vacche, e quattro arieti, fece invitare tutti i suoi vicini, e gli amici.He caused also two fatte kyne, and foure wethers to be killed, and great chere to be prepared for al his neighbours, and al his freindes.Duas quoque pingues vaccas, et quatuor arietes, occidi fecit, et parari epulas omnibus vicinis suis, cunctisque amicis. 23And Raguel adjured Tobias, to abide with him two weeks.E Raguele pregò istantemente Tobia, che si trattenesse seco per due settimane.And Raguel adiured Tobias, that he should abide with him two weekes.Et adjuravit Raguel Tobiam ut duas hebdomadas moraretur apud se. 24And of all things which Raguel possessed, he gave one half to Tobias, and made a writing, that the half that remained should after their decease come also to Tobias.E di tutto quello, che aveva, diede Raguele a Tobia la metà, e dell'altra metà dichiarò per iscritto erede Tobia dopo la morte sua, e della moglie.And of al thinges which Raguel possessed, he gaue the halfe part to Tobias, and made this writing, that the halfe part, which was remayning after their decease, should come to the dominion of Tobias.De omnibus autem quæ possidebat Raguel, dimidiam partem dedit Tobiæ, et fecit scripturam, ut pars dimidia quæ supererat, post obitum eorum Tobiæ dominio deveniret.
