Translation of "Penates" in English

A terra pelos Trácios habitada, / com seus extensos campos cultivados, / protegida de Marte e onde Licurgo / belicoso reinara, antiga e hospitaleira / aliada foi de Troia, enquanto esta durou – / e mesmo laços de família uniam / aos penates troianos seus penates.

Far off there lies, with many a spacious plain, / the land of Mars, by Thracians tilled and sown, / where stern Lycurgus whilom held his reign; / a hospitable shore, to Troy well-known, / her home-gods leagued in union with our own, / while Fortune smiled.

Confio Anquises, Iulo e os penates troianos / aos meus amigos e os escondo no recesso / de um vale próximo.

Troy's gods commending to my comrades' care, / with old Anchises and my infant heir, / I hide them in a winding vale from view.

No centro do palácio, a céu aberto, / ficava um grande altar; bem próximo, um loureiro / muito antigo os Penates envolvia / em generosa sombra.

Within the palace, open to the day, / there stood a massive altar. Overhead, / with drooping boughs, a venerable bay / its shadowy foliage o'er the home-gods spread.

Muito sofreu também na guerra que no Lácio / travou para fundar uma cidade, / onde os teucros penates abrigasse, / dali provindo a raça dos latinos, / os reis albanos e a altaneira Roma.

- He also suffered many things in war, while he strove to found a city, and to bear his gods to Latium: from this place arose the Latin race, the Alban fathers, and the walls of exalted Rome.
- Yea, and more, / in war enduring, ere he built a home, / and his loved household-deities brought o'er / to Latium, whence the Latin people come, / whence rose the Alban sires, and walls of lofty Rome.

"Ó pai, leva contigo / as alfaias do culto e os penates da pátria; / de mãos manchadas pelo sangue derramado / nos combates ferozes desta noite, / cometeria eu sacrilégio se os tocasse / sem me purificar em límpida corrente.”

"Father, in thy charge remain / Troy's gods; for me, red-handed with the smear / of blood, and fresh from slaughter, 'twere profane / to touch them, ere the stream hath cleansed me of the stain."

"Sou Eneias; / aos deuses fiel, conduzo em minha frota / os Penates troianos resgatados / do inimigo; meu nome é proclamado / em toda parte e já chegou aos astros. / Vou em busca da Itália, a terra de meus pais; / do deus supremo, Júpiter, descendo".

"My name / is good AEneas; from the flames and foe / I bear Troy's rescued deities. My fame / outsoars the stars of heaven; a Jove-born race, we claim / a home in fair Italia far away."

Cinquenta servas na cozinha ampla se incumbem / de preparar os pratos do banquete – / interminável série de iguarias – / e de incensar as aras dos penates; / e muitas outras e igual número de escravos / belos e jovens vão servir às mesas / gostosas viandas e bebidas finas.

Within are fifty maidens, charged with care / to dress the food, and nurse the flames divine. / A hundred more, and youths like-aged, prepare / to load the tables and arrange the wine.

Logo que chega a primavera, Anquises manda / largar as velas aos caprichos do destino. / Então com lágrimas nos olhos vou deixando / o porto, o pátrio litoral, toda a planície / onde um dia foi Troia. Ao mar me entrego, / qual exilado, com meu filho, os companheiros, / nossos penates, nossos grandes deuses.

Scarce now the summer had begun, when straight / my father, old Anchises, gave command / to spread our canvas and to trust to Fate. / Weeping, I leave my native port, the land, / the fields where once the Trojan towers did stand, / and, homeless, launch upon the boundless brine, / heart-broken outcast, with an exiled band, / comrades, and son, and household gods divine, / and the great Gods of Troy, the guardians of our line.

A ele então, / humilde, Juno roga nestes termos: / “Ó Éolo (pois a ti o pai dos deuses / e rei dos homens deu a faculdade / de as ondas amansar e de encrespá-las / com o auxílio do vento), uma gente que odeio / no momento navega o mar Tirreno, / levando para a Itália Ílio vencida / e seus penates".

- Juno then, as a suppliant, addressed him in these words: "Aeolus (for the father of the gods has granted you authority to calm the seas and to stir them up with the winds), a race hateful to me is sailing upon the Tyrrhenian sea, carrying Troy along with its conquered gods to Italy."
- Him now Saturnia sought, and thus in lowly strain: / "O AEolus, for Jove, of human kind / and Gods the sovran Sire, hath given to thee / to lull the waves and lift them with the wind, / a hateful people, enemies to me, / their ships are steering o'er the Tuscan sea, / bearing their Troy and vanquished gods away / to Italy."

Caíra a noite e sobre a terra o sono / apoderava-se de toda a humana gente. / As sagradas imagens dos penates / troianos, que, do incêndio da cidade / resgatando, eu comigo transportara, / eis do meu leito, qual num sonho, vejo erguer-se / à minha frente, bem iluminadas / pelo esplendor que a lua cheia difundia / através da janela aberta do meu quarto. / E pareceu-me ouvi-las proferir, / para tranquilizar-me, estas palavras:

'Twas night; on earth all creatures were asleep, / when lo! the figures of our gods, the same / whom erst from falling Ilion o'er the deep / I brought, scarce rescued from the midmost flame, / before me, sleepless for my country's shame, / stood plain, in plenteousness of light confessed, / where streaming through the sunken lattice came / the moon's full splendour, and their speech addressed, / and I in heart took comfort, hearing their behest.
