10 — Tobia

1But as Tobias made longer stay upon occasion of the marriage, Tobias his father was solicitous, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my son tarry, or why is he detained there?Ma tardando Tobia per ragione delle nozze, il suo padre Tobia era inquieto, e diceva: chi sa per qual motivo si trattenga colà il mio figliuolo, e il perchè sia rattenuto?BVT when Tobias taried long because of the mariage, Tobias his father was careful, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my sonne tarie, or why is he held there?Cum vero moras faceret Tobias, causa nuptiarum, sollicitus erat pater ejus Tobias, dicens: Putas quare moratur filius meus, aut quare detentus est ibi ? 2Is Gabelus dead, thinkest thou, and no man will pay him the money?Chi sa che non sia morto Gabelo, e non si trovi chi gli renda quel denaro?Is Gabelus dead thinkest thou, and no man wil restore him the money?Putasne Gabelus mortuus est, et nemo reddet illi pecuniam ? 3And he began to be exceeding sad, both he and Anna his wife with him: and they began both to weep together, because their son did not return to them on the day appointed.E cominciò ad affligersi formisura sì egli, come Anna sua moglie, perchè non tornava il loro figliuolo dentro il tempo stabilito.And he began to be sorowful exceedingly him selfe, and Anna his wife with him: and they began both to weepe together: because their sonne did not returne to them the day appointed.Cœpit autem contristari nimis ipse, et Anna uxor ejus cum eo: et cœperunt ambo simul flere, eo quod die statuto minime reverteretur filius eorum ad eos. 4But his mother wept and was quite disconsolate, and said: Woe, woe is me, my son; why did we send thee to go to a strange country, the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the comfort of our life, the hope of our posterity?Quindi la madre di lui piangeva a cald'occhi, e diceva: Ahi, ahi figlio mio: perchè ti abbiam noi mandato lontano, lume degli occhi nostri, baston di nostra vecchiezza, consolazione di nostra vita, speranza della nostra posterità?His mother therfore wept with discomfortable teares, and sayd: Woe, woe is me, my sonne, why sent we thee to goe to a strange countrie, the light of our eies, the staffe of our old age, the comforte of our life, the hope of our posteritie?Flebat igitur mater ejus irremediabilibus lacrimis, atque dicebat: Heu, heu me, fili mi ! ut quid te misimus peregrinari, lumen oculorum nostrorum, baculum senectutis nostræ, solatium vitæ nostræ, spem posteritatis nostræ ? 5We having all things together in thee alone, ought not to have let thee go from us.Avendo noi in te solo ogni cosa, non dovevamo mandarti lungi da noi.We hauing al things together in thee onlie, ought not to haue let thee goe from vs.omnia simul in te uno habentes, te non debuimus dimittere a nobis.

6And Tobias said to her: Hold thy peace, and be not troubled, our son is safe: that man with whom we sent him is very trusty.Ma Tobia le diceva; taci, non ti inquietare il nostro figliuolo sta bene: assai fedele è colui in compagnia del quale noi lo abbiamo mandato.To whom Tobias said: Hold thy peace, and be not trubled, our sonne is safe, that man with whom we sent him is faithful ynough.Cui dicebat Tobias: Tace, et noli turbari: sanus est filius noster: satis fidelis est vir ille, cum quo misimus eum. 7But she could by no means be comforted, but daily running out looked round about, and went into all the ways by which there seemed any hope he might return, that she might if possible see him coming afar off.Ma quella in verun modo non potea darsi pace, ma ogni giorno scappando fuora guardava da tutte le parti, e andava attorno per tutte le strade, donde sperava, ch'ei ritornasse, per vederlo venire (se possibil era) da lungi.Howbeit she could by no meanes be comforted, but dayly running out looked about, and went about al waies by which there seemed hope he would returne, that she might see him a far of, if it were possible, coming.Illa autem nullo modo consolari poterat, sed quotidie exiliens circumspiciebat, et circuibat vias omnes per quas spes remeandi videbatur, ut procul videret eum, si fieri posset, venientem. 8But Raguel said to his son in law: Stay here, and I will send a messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health.Ma Raguele diceva al genero: Statti quì e io manderò a far sapere a Tobia tuo padre come tu stai bene.But Raguel sayd to his sonne in law: Tarie here, and I wil send a messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health.At vero Raguel dicebat ad generum suum: Mane hic, et ego mittam nuntium salutis de te ad Tobiam patrem tuum. 9And Tobias said to him: I know that my father and mother now count the days, and their spirit is grievously afflicted within them.Ma Tobia disse a lui: Io so, che il padre mio, e mia madre contano adesso i giorni, e il loro spirito è alla tortura.To whom Tobias sayd: I know that my father & my mother do now count the dayes, and their spirite is tormented in them.Cui Tobias ait: Ego novi quia pater meus et mater mea modo dies computant, et cruciatur spiritus eorum in ipsis. 10And when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels, and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from him,E dopo che Raguele ebbe fatte molte istanze a Tobia, non volendo questi arrendersi in verun modo, egli rimise a lui Sara, e la metà di tutto quello, che aveva, di servi, e di serve, di bestiame, e di cammelli, e di vacche, e di denaro, che era molto, e lo licenziò da se sano, e contento;And when Raguel desired Tobias in manie wordes, and •e by no meanes would heare him, he deliuered Sara vnto him, and the halfe part of al his substance in men seruantes, & wemen seruantes, in cattel, in camels, and in kine, and in much money and dismist him safe and ioyful from him,Cumque verbis multis rogaret Raguel Tobiam, et ille eum nulla ratione vellet audire, tradidit ei Saram, et dimidiam partem omnis substantiæ suæ in pueris, in puellis, in pecudibus, in camelis, et in vaccis, et in pecunia multa: et salvum atque gaudentem dimisit eum a se, 11Saying: The holy angel of the Lord be with you in your journey, and bring you through safe, and that you may find all things well about your parents, and my eyes may see your children before I die.Dicendo: L'Angelo santo del Signore sia con voi per viaggio, vi conduca sani, e salvi, e troviate in prosperità i genitori vostri, e possan vederegli occhi miei i vostri figliuoli prima ch'io muoia.saying: The holie Angel of our Lord be in your iourney, and bring you through safe, and that you may finde al thinges wel about your parentes, and myn eies may see your children before I die.dicens: Angelus Domini sanctus sit in itinere vestro, perducatque vos incolumes, et inveniatis omnia recte circa parentes vestros, et videant oculi mei filios vestros priusquam moriar.

12And the parents taking their daughter kissed her, and let her go:E abbracciata la figlia i genitori la baciarono, e la lasciaron partire;And the parentes taking their daughter, kissed her, and let her goe:Et apprehendentes parentes filiam suam, osculati sunt eam: et dimiserunt ire, 13Admonishing her to honour her father and mother in law, to love her husband, to take care of the family, to govern the house, and to behave herself irreprehensibly.Ammonendola, che onorasse i suoceri, amasse il marito, reggesse la famiglia, governasse la casa, e si mantenesse ella stessa irreprensibile.admonishing her to honour her father and mother in law, to loue her husband, to rule the houshold, to gouerne the house, and to shewe her selfe irreprehensible.monentes eam honorare soceros, diligere maritum, regere familiam, gubernare domum, et seipsam irreprehensibilem exhibere.
