9 — Tobia

1Then Tobias called the angel to him, whom he took to be a man, and said to him: Brother Azarias, I pray thee hearken to my words:Allora Tobia prese a parte l'Angelo creduto da lui un uomo, e gli disse: Fratello Azaria, ti prego di ascoltare le mie parole.THEN Tobias called the Angel to him, whom he thought to be a man, and he sayd to him: Brother Azarias, I pray thee harken to my wordes:Tunc vocavit Tobias angelum ad se, quem quidem hominem existimabat, dixitque ei: Azaria frater, peto ut auscultes verba mea. 2If I should give myself to be thy servant I should not make a worthy return for thy care.Quand'io mi domassi a te in qualità di schiavo, non potrei rimunerare la tua assistenza.If I should deliuer my self to be thy seruant I shal not deserue thy prouidence.Si meipsum tradam tibi servum, non ero condignus providentiæ tuæ: 3However, I beseech thee, to take with thee beasts and servants, and to go to Gabelus to Rages the city of the Medes: and to restore to him his note of hand, and receive of him the money, and desire him to come to my wedding.Con tutto ciò io ti prego di prender teco cavalcatura, e servi, e di andare a Rages città dei Medi a trovar Gabelo, e di rendere a lui il suo chirografo, e ritirare il denaro e pregarlo che venga alle mie nozze.Howbeit I besech thee, that thou take vnto thee beastes and seruantes, and goe to Gabelus into Rages the citie of Medes: & render him his handwriting, and receiue of him the money, and desire him to come to my mariage.tamen obsecro te ut assumas tibi animalia sive servitia, et vadas ad Gabelum in Rages civitatem Medorum, reddasque ei chirographum suum, et recipias ab eo pecuniam, et roges eum venire ad nuptias meas. 4For thou knowest that my father numbereth the days: and if I stay one day more, his soul will be afflicted.Perocchè tu pur sai come il padre mio conta i giorni, e se io tarderò un giorno di più, l'anima di lui sarà in tristezza.For thyself knowest that my father numbreth the dayes: and if I slacke one day more, his soule is made sorowfulScis enim ipse quoniam numerat pater meus dies, et si tardavero una die plus, constristatur anima ejus. 5And indeed thou seest how Raguel hath adjured me, whose adjuring I cannot despise.E certamente tu vedi come Raguele mi ha scongiurato, e io non possa disprezzare le sue istanze.And surely thou seest how Raguel hath adiured me, whose adiuring I can not dispise.Et certe vides quomodo adjuravit me Raguel, cujus adjuramentum spernere non possum. 6Then Raphael took four of Raguel’s servants, and two camels, and went to Rages the city of the Medes: and finding Gabelus, gave him his note of hand, and received of him all the money.Allora Raphaele, presi quattro servi di Raguele, e due cammelli, andò a Rages città dei Medi, e trovato Gabelo, gli rendè il suo chirografo, e ritirò da lui tutto il denaro.Then Raphael taking foure of Raguels seruantes, & two camels, went into Rages the citie of Medes: & finding Gabelus gaue him his hand writing, and receiued of him al the money.Tunc Raphaël assumens quatuor ex servis Raguelis, et duos camelos, in Rages civitatem Medorum perrexit: et inveniens Gabelum, reddidit ei chirographum suum, et recepit ab eo omnem pecuniam.

7And he told him concerning Tobias the son of Tobias, all that had been done: and made him come with him to the wedding.E raccontò a lui tutto quello, che era avvenuto al figliuolo di Tobia; e lo fece venir seco alle nozze.And he told him of Tobias the sonne of Tobias, al thinges that were done: and made him come with him to the mariage.Indicavitque ei de Tobia filio Tobiæ omnia quæ gesta sunt, fecitque eum secum venire ad nuptias. 8And when he was come into Raguel’s house he found Tobias sitting at the table: and he leaped up, and they kissed each other: and Gabelus wept, and blessed God,Ed egli giunto a casa di Raguele, trovò Tobia a mensa, il quale si levò su, e si baciarono l'un l'altro; e Gabelo pianse e benedisse Dio.And when he was entered into Raguels house, he found Tobias sitting at the table: and he leaping vp, they kissed ech other: and Gabelus wept, and blessed God,Cumque ingressus esset domum Raguelis, invenit Tobiam discumbentem: et exiliens, osculati sunt se invicem: et flevit Gabelus, benedixitque Deum, 9And said: The God of Israel bless thee, because thou art the son of a very good and just man, and that feareth God, and doth almsdeeds:E disse: Ti benedica il Dio d'Israele, perocchè tu se' figliuolo di un uomo veramente dabbene, e giusto, e timorate di Dio, e limosiniere.and sayd: The God of Israel blesse thee, because thou art the sonne of a verie good man, and iust, and that feareth God, and doth almes deedes:et dixit: Benedicat te Deus Israël, quia filius es optimi viri et justi, et timentis Deum, et eleemosynas facientis: 10And may a blessing come upon thy wife and upon your parents.E sieno date benedizioni alla tua moglie, e a vostri genitori.and blessing be geuen vpon thy wife, and vpon your parentes:et dicatur benedictio super uxorem tuam, et super parentes vestros, 11And may you see your children, and your children’s children, unto the third and fourth generation: and may your seed be blessed by the God of Israel, who reigneth for ever and ever.E veggiate i figliuoli vostri, e i figli de'vostri figliuoli sino alla terza, e quarta generazione, e la vostra stirpe sia benedetta dal Dio d'Israele, che regna per tutti i secoli.& that you may see your children, and your childrens children, vnto the third & fourth generation: and your seede be blessed of the God of Israel, who reigneth fereuer and euer.et videatis filios vestros, et filios filiorum vestrorum, usque in tertiam et quartam generationem: et sit semen vestrum benedictum a Deo Israël, qui regnat in sæcula sæculorum.

12And when all had said, Amen, they went to the feast: but the marriage feast they celebrated also with the fear of the Lord.E tutti avendo detto, Così sia, si posero a mensa: ma lo stesso convito nuziale era celebrato nel timor del Signore.And when al had sayd, Amen; they went to the feast: but with the feare of our Lord also did they celebrate the feast of the mariage.Cumque omnes dixissent: Amen: accesserunt ad convivium: sed et cum timore Domini nuptiarum convivium exercebant.
