Won from the Waves — Page 11
Her loose cloak and the long grey hair which hung over her shoulders blew out in the wind, giving her face a wild and weird look, for she wore no covering to restrain her locks, with the exception of a mass of dry dark seaweed, formed in the shape of a crown, twisted round the top of her head.
Sua capa solta e o longo cabelo grisalho que pendia sobre seus ombros esvoaçavam ao vento, dando ao seu rosto um aspecto selvagem e estranho, pois ela não usava nenhuma cobertura para prender suas madeixas, com exceção de uma massa de algas marinhas escuras e secas, formada em formato de coroa, enrolada no topo de sua cabeça.
"I have seen the ship you are about to visit. I knew what her fate would be even yesternight when she was floating proudly on the ocean; she was doomed to destruction, and so will be all those who venture on board her. If you go out to her, I tell you that none of you will return. I warn you, Adam Halliburt, and I warn you all! Go not out to her, she is doomed! she is doomed! she is doomed!"
"Eu vi o navio que estais prestes a visitar. Eu sabia qual seria o seu destino já na noite passada, quando ele navegava orgulhosamente pelo oceano; estava condenado à destruição, e assim também estarão todos aqueles que se aventurarem a bordo dele. Se forem até ele, eu vos digo que nenhum de vós retornará. Eu vos aviso, Adam Halliburt, e aviso a todos vós! Não vades até ele, ele está condenado! ele está condenado! ele está condenado!"
As the woman uttered these words she disappeared in the darkness. The men stood irresolute.
Ao pronunciar essas palavras, a mulher desapareceu na escuridão. Os homens ficaram indecisos.
"What, lads, are you to be frightened at what `Sal of the Salt Sea' says, or `Silly Sally,' as some of you call her?" exclaimed Adam.
"O quê, rapazes, vós vos assustais com o que diz 'Sal do Mar Salgado', ou 'Sally a Tola', como alguns de vós a chamam?" exclamou Adam.
"Let us put our trust in God, He will take care of us, if it's His good pleasure. It's our duty to try and help our fellow-creatures. Do you think an old mad woman knows more than He who rules the waves, or that anything she can say in her folly will prevent Him from watching over us and bringing us back in safety?"
"Depositemos nossa confiança em Deus, Ele cuidará de nós, se assim for da Sua santa vontade. É nosso dever tentar ajudar nossos semelhantes. Pensais vós que uma velha louca sabe mais do que Aquele que governa as ondas, ou que qualquer coisa que ela possa dizer em sua loucura impedirá que Ele vele por nós e nos traga de volta em segurança?"
