thy silence would incense a flint.

teu silêncio irritaria uma pedra.

Will nothing loose thy tongue? Can nothing melt thee,

Nada soltará tua língua? Nada poderá te abrandar,

Or shake thy dogged taciturnity?

Ou sacudir tua obstinada taciturnidade?

TEIRESIAS.

TIRÉSIAS.

Thou blam'st my mood and seest not thine own

Tu censuras meu humor e não vês o teu próprio

Wherewith thou art mated; no, thou taxest me.

Com o qual és casado; não, tu me acusas.

OEDIPUS.

ÉDIPO.

And who could stay his choler when he heard

E quem poderia conter sua cólera ao ouvir

How insolently thou dost flout the State?

Quão insolentemente tu desafias o Estado?

TEIRESIAS.

TIRÉSIAS.

Well, it will come what will, though I be mute.

Bem, virá o que tiver de vir, ainda que eu fique mudo.

OEDIPUS.

ÉDIPO.

Since come it must, thy duty is to tell me.

Já que virá de qualquer forma, teu dever é me dizer.

TEIRESIAS.

TIRÉSIAS.

I have no more to say; storm as thou willst,

Não tenho mais nada a dizer; irrita-te como quiseres,

And give the rein to all thy pent-up rage.

E dá rédea solta a toda a tua raiva reprimida.

OEDIPUS.

ÉDIPO.

Yea, I am wroth, and will not stint my words,

Sim, estou irado, e não pouparei minhas palavras,

But speak my whole mind. Thou methinks thou art he,

Mas direi tudo o que penso. Tu, parece-me, és aquele,

Who planned the crime, aye, and performed it too,

Que planejou o crime, sim, e também o executou,

All save the assassination; and if thou

Salvo o assassínio em si; e se tu

Hadst not been blind, I had been sworn to boot

Não fosses cego, eu juraria além disso

That thou alone didst do the bloody deed.

Que tu sozinho perpetraste o sangrento ato.

TEIRESIAS.

TIRÉSIAS.

Is it so? Then I charge thee to abide

É assim? Então te ordeno que te submetais

By thine own proclamation; from this day

À tua própria proclamação; a partir de hoje

Speak not to these or me. Thou art the man,

Não fales a estes nem a mim. Tu és o homem,

Thou the accursed polluter of this land.

Tu, o maldito profanador desta terra.

OEDIPUS.

ÉDIPO.

Vile slanderer, thou blurtest forth these taunts,

Vil caluniador, tu proféres esses insultos,

And think'st forsooth as seer to go scot free.

E crês, na verdade, que como vidente ficará impune.

TEIRESIAS.

TIRÉSIAS.

Yea, I am free, strong in the strength of truth.

Sim, sou livre, forte na força da verdade.

OEDIPUS.

ÉDIPO.

Who was thy teacher? not methinks thy art.

Quem foi teu mestre? não foi, penso eu, tua arte.

TEIRESIAS.

TIRÉSIAS.

Thou, goading me against my will to speak.

Tu, que me incitaste contra minha vontade a falar.

OEDIPUS.

ÉDIPO.

What speech? repeat it and resolve my doubt.

Que palavras? repete-as e resolve minha dúvida.

TEIRESIAS.

TIRÉSIAS.
