Kniha Tobiáš

1 (CPDV) Tobit was from the tribe and city of Naphtali (which is in the upper parts of Galilee above Asher, after the way, which leads to the west, that has on its left the city of Sephet).
1 (KAT) Kniha príbehov Tóbiho, syna Tobiela, syna Ananiela, syna Aduela, syna Gabaela, syna Rafaela, syna Raguela. Patril do Azielovho potomstva a do Neftaliho kmeňa.

2 (CPDV) Although he had been taken captive in the days of Shalmaneser, the king of the Assyrians, even in such a situation as captivity, he did not desert the way of truth.
2 (KAT) Za čias panovania asýrskeho kráľa Salmanasara bol odvlečený do zajatia z Tisbe, ktoré je južne od Neftaliho Kádeša v Hornej Galilei, nad Asorom smerom na západ, na sever od Fogoru.

3 (CPDV) So then, every day, all that he was able to obtain, he bestowed on his fellow captive brothers, who were from his kindred.
3 (KAT) Ja, Tóbi, som kráčal po cestách pravdy a konal spravodlivé skutky po všetky dni môjho života. Veľa milosrdenstva som preukázal bratom z môjho kmeňa a národa, ktorí odišli so mnou ako zajatci do Ninive v asýrskej krajine.

4 (CPDV) And, when he was among the youngest of any in the tribe of Naphtali, he showed not so much as any childish behavior in his work.
4 (KAT) Ešte keď som žil vo svojej vlasti, v izraelskej krajine - vtedy som bol mladý -, celý kmeň môjho otca Neftaliho odpadol od domu môjho otca Dávida a od mesta Jeruzalema, ktoré bolo vyvolené zo všetkých kmeňov Izraela, aby tam všetky kmene prinášali obetu. Tam bol postavený chrám, Boží príbytok, posvätený pre všetky pokolenia až naveky.

5 (CPDV) And then, when all went to the golden calves which Jeroboam, king of Israel, had made, he alone fled from the company of them all.
5 (KAT) Všetci moji bratia a dom môjho praotca Neftaliho prinášali na všetkých vrchoch Galiley obetu býkovi, ktorého urobil izraelský kráľ Jeroboam v Dane.

6 (CPDV) Yet he continued on to Jerusalem, to the temple of the Lord, and there he adored the Lord God of Israel, offering faithfully all his first-fruits and his tithes.
6 (KAT) Iba ja sám som často chodieval do Jeruzalema na sviatky, ako predpisuje pre celý Izrael večný zákon. Do Jeruzalema som prinášal prvotiny úrody, prvorodené s desiatkami z dobytka a prvotiny zo strihania oviec.

7 (CPDV) So then, in the third year, he administered all his tithes to new converts and to new arrivals.
7 (KAT) Odovzdával som to všetko kňazom, Áronovým synom, na oltár. Desiatok pšenice, vína, oleja, granátových jabĺk a iného ovocia som dával Léviho synom, ktorí slúžili v Jeruzaleme. Druhý desiatok som šesť rokov predával za peniaze a každý rok som ich použil v Jeruzaleme.

8 (CPDV) These and similar such things, even as a boy, he observed according to the law of God.
8 (KAT) Dával som to sirotám a vdovám a prisťahovalcom, ktorí žili spolu s Izraelitmi. Prinášal som to a dával som im to každý tretí rok; jedli sme to podľa prikázania Mojžišovho zákona a podľa rád, ktoré mi dala Debora, žena nášho starého otca Ananiela, matka môjho otca, lebo môj otec zomrel a zanechal ma ako sirotu.

9 (CPDV) Truly, when he had become a man, he received as wife Anna of his own tribe, and he conceived a son by her, to whom he assigned his own name.
9 (KAT) Keď som sa stal mužom, vzal som si za manželku Annu z potomstva nášho rodu a z nej sa mi narodil syn, ktorému som dal meno Tobiáš.

10 (CPDV) From his infancy, he taught him to fear God and to abstain from all sin.
10 (KAT) Keď ma odvliekli do zajatia do Asýrska, dostal som sa ako zajatec do Ninive. Všetci moji bratia a tí, čo boli z môjho rodu, jedli pokrmy pohanov.

11 (CPDV) Therefore, when, during the captivity, he had arrived with his wife and son at the city of Nineveh, with all his tribe,
11 (KAT) Ja som sa však chránil jesť z nich.

12 (CPDV) (even though they all ate from the foods of the Gentiles,) he guarded his soul and never was contaminated with their foods.
12 (KAT) A pretože som celým srdcom ostal verný svojmu Bohu,

13 (CPDV) And because he was mindful of the Lord with his whole heart, God gave him favor in the sight of Shalmaneser the king.
13 (KAT) Najvyšší mi dal milosť a priazeň u Salmanasara a zaobstarával som mu všetko, čo potreboval.

14 (CPDV) And he gave him the power to go wherever he would want, having the freedom to do whatever he wished.
14 (KAT) Chodieval som do Médska nakupovať pre neho, až kým nezomrel. V tom čase som v Rages v Médsku u Gabriho syna Gabaela uložil mešce s desiatimi talentmi striebra.

15 (CPDV) Therefore, he continued on to all who were in captivity, and he gave them helpful advice.
15 (KAT) Keď Salmanasar zomrel, kráľom sa namiesto neho stal jeho syn Sennacherib. Moje cesty do Médska sa skončili a odvtedy som tam už nemohol ísť.

16 (CPDV) But when he had arrived at Rages, a city of the Medes, he had ten talents of silver, from that which he had been given in honor by the king.
16 (KAT) Za dní Salmanasara som vykonal mnoho skutkov milosrdenstva bratom z môjho rodu.

17 (CPDV) And when, in the midst of the great tumult of his kindred, he saw the destitution of Gabael, who was from his tribe, he loaned him, under a written agreement, the aforementioned weight of silver.
17 (KAT) Svoj chlieb som dával hladným a svoj odev nahým a keď som videl mŕtveho z môjho národa, vyhodeného za ninivské hradby, pochoval som ho.

18 (CPDV) In truth, after a long time, Shalmaneser the king died, while Sennacherib his son reigned in his place, and he held a hatred for the sons of Israel.
18 (KAT) Takisto som tajne pochoval jedného, čo kráľ Sennacherib zabil, keď zutekal z Judey v dňoch súdu, ktorý nad ním vykonal Kráľ neba pre jeho rúhania. Lebo vo svojom hneve dal zabiť mnohých z Izraela. Ja som ich telá skrýval a pochovával. Sennacherib ich hľadal, a nenašiel ich.

19 (CPDV) Every day, Tobit traveled though all his own people, and he consoled them, and he distributed to each one as much as he could from his resources.
19 (KAT) Ktosi z Ninivčanov však šiel a udal ma kráľovi, že ich ja pochovávam. Keď som sa dozvedel, že to kráľ o mne vie a že ma hľadajú, aby ma zabili, naľakal som sa a ušiel som.

20 (CPDV) He nourished the hungry, and he supplied clothes to the naked, and he showed concern for the burial of the dead and of the slain.
20 (KAT) Všetok majetok mi skonfiškovali a prepadol v prospech kráľovej pokladnice. Ostala mi iba moja manželka Anna a môj syn Tobiáš.

21 (CPDV) And then, when king Sennacherib had returned from Judea, fleeing the scourge which God had caused all around him because of his blasphemy, and, being angry, he was slaughtering many from the sons of Israel, Tobit buried their bodies.
21 (KAT) Ale neprešlo ani štyridsať dní, čo ho jeho dvaja synovia zavraždili a ušli do hôr Araratu. Kráľom sa namiesto neho stal jeho syn Asarhaddon, ktorý ustanovil za správcu nad celým hospodárstvom kráľovstva Achikara, syna môjho brata Anaela, a mal najvyššiu moc nad celou jeho správou.

22 (CPDV) And when it was reported to the king, he ordered him to be slain, and he took away all his belongings. 273
22 (KAT) Achikar prosil za mňa a ja som sa mohol vrátiť do Ninive. Achikar bol totiž najvyšším dvorným čašníkom, strážcom pečate a správcom a dozorcom daní za asýrskeho kráľa Sennacheriba a Asarhaddon ho ponechal v úrade. On bol môj synovec, z môjho príbuzenstva.

23 (CPDV) In truth, Tobit, fleeing with nothing but his son and his wife, was able to remain hidden because many loved him.
23 ----

24 (CPDV) In truth, after forty-five days, the king was slain by his own sons,
24 ----

25 (CPDV) and Tobit was able to return to his house, and all his resources were restored to him.
