1But after this, when there was a festival of the Lord, and a good dinner was prepared in Tobias’s house,
1Quando voltei para casa e minha esposa Ana e meu filho Tobias me foram restituídos, na festa de Pentecostes, a santa festa das sete semanas, prepararam para mim um bom jantar, e eu me sentei para comer.
2He said to his son: Go, and bring some of our tribe that fear God, to feast with us.
2Vi que havia muita comida e disse ao meu filho: “Vá e traga qualquer pobre que encontrar entre os nossos parentes e que se lembre do Senhor. Eu esperarei por você.”
3And when he had gone, returning he told him, that one of the children of Israel lay slain in the street. And he forthwith leaped up from his place at the table, and left his dinner, and came fasting to the body:
3Ele voltou e disse: “Pai, um homem do nosso povo foi estrangulado e jogado na praça.”
4And taking it up carried it privately to his house, that after the sun was down, he might bury him cautiously.
4Antes de provar qualquer coisa, levantei-me depressa, peguei o corpo e o levei para um quarto, onde o deixei até o pôr do sol.
5And when he had hid the body, he ate bread with mourning and fear,
5Depois voltei, lavei-me e comi meu pão com tristeza,
6Remembering the word which the Lord spoke by Amos the prophet: Your festival days shall be turned into lamentation and mourning.
6lembrando-me da profecia de Amós, que disse: “Suas festas se transformarão em luto, e toda a sua alegria em lamentação.”
7So when the sun was down, he went and buried him.
7Então chorei. Quando o sol se pôs, fui, cavei uma sepultura e o enterrei.
8Now all his neighbours blamed him, saying: Once already commandment was given for thee to be slain because of this matter, and thou didst scarce escape the sentence of death, and dost thou again bury the dead?
8Meus vizinhos zombavam de mim e diziam: “Ele já não tem medo de ser morto por causa disso! Ele fugiu por esse motivo e agora, vejam só, está sepultando os mortos outra vez.”
9But Tobias fearing God more than the king, carried off the bodies of them that were slain, and hid them in his house, and at midnight buried them.
9Naquela mesma noite, depois de enterrá-lo, voltei e dormi junto ao muro do meu pátio, pois estava impuro, e meu rosto ficou descoberto.
10Now it happened one day, that being wearied with burying, he came to his house, and cast himself down by the wall and slept,
10Eu não sabia que havia pardais no muro. Meus olhos estavam abertos, e os pardais deixaram cair excrementos quentes neles. Formaram-se películas brancas sobre meus olhos. Procurei os médicos, mas eles não me ajudaram. Aquiacharo cuidou de mim até que fui para Elimaida.
11And as he was sleeping, hot dung out of a swallow’s nest fell upon his eyes, and he was made blind.
11Minha esposa Ana tecia nos aposentos das mulheres
12Now this trial the Lord therefore permitted to happen to him, that an example might be given to posterity of his patience, as also of holy Job.
12e devolvia o trabalho aos donos. Eles lhe pagavam o salário e ainda lhe deram um cabrito.
13For whereas he had always feared God from his infancy, and kept his commandments, he repined not against God because the evil of blindness had befallen him,
13Quando o cabrito chegou à minha casa, começou a berrar. Então eu lhe disse: “De onde veio este cabrito? Será que foi roubado? Devolva-o aos donos, pois não é lícito comer coisa roubada.”
14But continued immoveable in the fear of God, giving thanks to God all the days of his life.
14Ela respondeu: “Ele me foi dado como presente, além do meu salário.” Eu não acreditei nela e insisti para que o devolvesse aos donos; e fiquei envergonhado por causa dela. Mas ela me respondeu: “Onde estão agora as suas esmolas e as suas boas obras? Veja, todos conhecem você e todas as suas obras.”
15For as the kings insulted over holy Job: so his relations and kinsmen mocked at his life, saying:
