Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 6
So Tom got out a sheet of paper that he had wrote the oath on, and read it.
Então Tom tirou uma folha de papel na qual havia escrito o juramento, e o leu.
It swore every boy to stick to the band, and never tell any of the secrets; and if anybody done anything to any boy in the band, whichever boy was ordered to kill that person and his family must do it, and he mustn't eat and he mustn't sleep till he had killed them and hacked a cross in their breasts, which was the sign of the band.
Ele jurava que todo garoto ficaria no bando e nunca revelaria nenhum dos segredos; e se alguém fizesse alguma coisa a qualquer garoto do bando, o garoto que fosse ordenado a matar aquela pessoa e sua família deveria fazê-lo, e não poderia comer nem dormir até tê-los matado e gravado uma cruz em seus peitos, que era o sinal do bando.
And nobody that didn't belong to the band could use that mark, and if he did he must be sued; and if he done it again he must be killed.
E ninguém que não pertencesse ao bando poderia usar aquela marca, e se o fizesse deveria ser processado; e se o fizesse de novo deveria ser morto.
And if anybody that belonged to the band told the secrets, he must have his throat cut, and then have his carcass burnt up and the ashes scattered all around, and his name blotted off of the list with blood and never mentioned again by the gang, but have a curse put on it and be forgot forever.
E se alguém que pertencesse ao bando revelasse os segredos, deveria ter sua garganta cortada, e então seu cadáver seria queimado e as cinzas espalhadas por toda parte, e seu nome seria apagado da lista com sangue e nunca mais mencionado pelo bando, mas teria uma maldição posta sobre ele e seria esquecido para sempre.
Everybody said it was a real beautiful oath, and asked Tom if he got it out of his own head.
Todos disseram que era um juramento muito bonito, e perguntaram a Tom se ele o tinha tirado da própria cabeça.
He said, some of it, but the rest was out of pirate-books and robber-books, and every gang that was high-toned had it.
Ele disse que uma parte sim, mas o resto vinha de livros de piratas e de ladrões, e todo bando que se prezasse o tinha.
Some thought it would be good to kill the families of boys that told the secrets.
Alguns acharam que seria bom matar as famílias dos garotos que revelassem os segredos.
Tom said it was a good idea, so he took a pencil and wrote it in.
Tom disse que era uma boa ideia, então pegou um lápis e acrescentou isso.
