1And Tobias the elder opening his mouth, blessed the Lord, and said: Thou art great O Lord, for ever, and thy kingdom is unto all ages.E il vecchio Tobia aperse la bocca benedicendo il Signore, e disse: Grande se' tu in eterno, o Signore, e il regno tuo è per tutti i secoli:AND Tobias the elder opening his mouth, blessed our Lord, and sayd: Thou art great Lord for euer, and thy kingdom world without end:Aperiens autem Tobias senior os suum, benedixit Dominum, et dixit: Magnus es, Domine, in æternum, / et in omnia sæcula regnum tuum: 2For thou scourgest, and thou savest: thou leadest down to hell, and bringest up again: and there is none that can escape thy hand.Perocchè tu flagelli, e salvi, e conduci al sepolcro, e risusciti, e nissun alla mano tua può sottrarsi.because thou scourgest, and sauest: leadest downe to hel, and bringest backe agayne: and there is none that may escape thy hand.quoniam tu flagellas, et salvas; / deducis ad inferos, et reducis: / et non est qui effugiat manum tuam. 3Give glory to the Lord, ye children of Israel, and praise him in the sight of the Gentiles:Date lode al Signore voi, figliuoli d'Israele, e celebrate lui nel cospetto delle nazioni:Cōfesse to our Lord ye children of Israel, and in the sight of the Gentiles prayse him:Confitemini Domino, filii Israël, / et in conspectu gentium laudate eum: 4Because he hath therefore scattered you among the Gentiles, who know not him, that you may declare his wonderful works, and make them know that there is no other almighty God besides him.Perocchè per questo vi ha dispersi tralle genti, le quali non lo conoscono, affinchè voi raccontiate le sue meraviglie, e facciate loro conoscere, come altro Dio onnipotente non havvi fuori di lui.because he hath therfore dispersed you among the gentiles, which know not him, that you may declare his maruelous workes, and make them know, that there is no other God omnipotent besides him.quoniam ideo dispersit vos inter gentes quæ ignorant eum, / ut vos enarretis mirabilia ejus, / et faciatis scire eos / quia non est alius deus omnipotens præter eum. 5He hath chastised us for our iniquities: and he will save us for his own mercy.Egli ci ha gastigati per le nostre iniquità, ed egli ci salverà per sua misericordia.He hath chastised vs for our iniquities: and he wil saue vs for his mercie.Ipse castigavit nos propter iniquitates nostras, / et ipse salvabit nos propter misericordiam suam. 6See then what he hath done with us, and with fear and trembling give ye glory to him: and extol the eternal King of worlds in your works.Ponete mente adunque a quel, ch'egli ha fatto con noi, e con timore, e tremore date a lui laude, e colle opere vostre onorate il Re de' secoli.Behold therfore what he hath done with vs, and with feare and trembling confesse ye to him: and extol the king of the worldes in your workes.Aspicite ergo quæ fecit nobiscum, / et cum timore et tremore confitemini illi: / regemque sæculorum exaltate in operibus vestris.

7As for me, I will praise him in the land of my captivity: because he hath shewn his majesty toward a sinful nation,E io nella terra di mio servaggio darò lode a lui, perchè egli la Maestà sua ha fatto risplendere sopra una nazion peccatrice.And I in the land of my captiuitie wil confesse to him: because he hath shewed his maiestie toward a sinful nation.Ego autem in terra captivitatis meæ confitebor illi: / quoniam ostendit majestatem suam in gentem peccatricem. 8Be converted therefore, ye sinners, and do justice before God, believing that he will shew his mercy to you.Convertitevi adunque, o peccatori, e siate giusti dinanzi a Dio, e crediate, che egli userà con voi di sua misericordia.Conuert therfore ye sinners, & do iustice before God, beleuing that he wil doe his mercie with you.Convertimini itaque peccatores, / et facite justitiam coram Deo, / credentes quod faciat vobiscum misericordiam suam. 9And I and my soul will rejoice in him.Ma io, e l'anima mia in lui avremo letizia.And I, and my soule wil reioyce in him.Ego autem et anima mea in eo lætabimur. 10Bless ye the Lord, all his elect, keep days of joy, and give glory to him.Benedite il Signore voi eletti suoi; solennizzate i giorni di allegrezza, e date a lui lode.Blesse ye our Lord al his elect, celebrate daies of gladnes, and confesse to him.Benedicite Dominum omnes electi ejus: / agite dies lætitiæ, et confitemini illi. 11Jerusalem, city of God, the Lord hath chastised thee for the works of thy hands.Gerusalemme, città di Dio, il Signore ti gastigò per ragione delle opere di tue mani.Ierusalem the citie of God, our Lord hath chastised thee in the workes of thy handes.Jerusalem civitas Dei, / castigavit te Dominus in operibus manuum tuarum. 12Give glory to the Lord for thy good things, and bless the God eternal that he may rebuild his tabernacle in thee, and may call back all the captives to thee, and thou mayst rejoice for ever and ever.Dà tu lode al Signore pei beni tuoi, e benedici il Dio de' secoli, affinchè in te egli ristauri il suo tabernacolo, e ritorni a te tutti gli schiavi, e tu sii nel gaudio per tutti i secoli.Confesse to our Lord in thy good thinges, and blesse the God of the worldes, that he may reedefie his tabernacle in thee, and may cal backe al the captiues to thee, & thou mayst reioyce for euer and euer.Confitere Domino in bonis tuis, / et benedic Deum sæculorum: / ut reædificet in te tabernaculum suum, / et revocet ad te omnes captivos, / et gaudeas in omnia sæcula sæculorum. 13Thou shalt shine with a glorious light: and all the ends of the earth shall worship thee,Tu splenderai di luce sfolgoreggiante, e per tutti gli estremi confini della terra tu sarai adorata.Thou shalt shine with a glorious light: and al the coastes of the earth shal adore thee.Luce splendida fulgebis, / et omnes fines terræ adorabunt te. 14Nations from afar shall come to thee: and shall bring gifts, and shall adore the Lord in thee, and shall esteem thy land as holy.A te verranno le nazioni rimote, e porteranno dei doni, e adoreranno in te il Signore, e la tua terra avranno per santa.Nations from far shal come to thee: and bringing giftes, they shal adore our Lord in thee, and shal esteeme thy land for sanctification.Nationes ex longinquo ad te venient, / et munera deferentes adorabunt in te Dominum, / et terram tuam in sanctificationem habebunt:
