and called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument [of covenants], and sealed it.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἔδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· καὶ λαβὼν βιβλίον, ἔγραψε συγγραφὴν, καὶ ἐσφραγίσατο.

Then they began to eat.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἤρξαντο ἐσθίειν.
After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκάλεσε Ῥαγουὴλ Ἔδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, ἀδελφὴ ἑτοίμασον τὸ ἕτερον ταμεῖον, καὶ εἰσάγαγε αὐτήν.
Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐποίησεν ὡς εἶπε· καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὴν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἔκλαυσε· καὶ ἀπεδέξατο τὰ δάκρυα τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ,
Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.
Greek · Septuagintθάρσει τέκνον, ὁ Κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς δῴη σοι χάριν ἀντὶ τῆς λύπης σου ταύτης, θάρσει θύγατερ.
And when they had supped, they brought Tobias in unto her.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτε δὲ συνετέλεσαν δειπνοῦντες, εἰσήγαγον Τωβίαν πρὸς αὐτήν.
And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke [therewith].
Greek · SeptuagintὉ δὲ πορεύομενος ἐμνήσθη τῶν λόγων Ῥαφαὴλ, καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν τέφραν τῶν θυμιαμάτων, καὶ ἐπέθηκε τὴν καρδίαν τοῦ ἰχθύος καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ, καὶ ἐκάπνισεν.
The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτε δὲ ὠσφράνθη τὸ δαιμόνιον τῆς ὀσμῆς, ἔφυγεν εἰς τὰ ἀνώτατα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸ ὁ ἄγγελος.
And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us.
Greek · SeptuagintὩς δὲ συνεκλείσθησαν ἀμφότεροι, ἀνέστη Τωβίας ἀπὸ τῆς κλίνης, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀνάστηθι ἀδελφὴ, καὶ προσευξώμεθα ἵνα ἐλεήσῃ ἡμᾶς ὁ Κύριος.
Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed [is] thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἤρξατο Τωβίας λέγειν, εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ἔνδοξον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· εὐλογησάτωσάν σε οἱ οὐρανοὶ, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ κτίσεις σου.
Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.
Greek · SeptuagintΣὺ ἐποίησας Ἀδάμ, καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτῷ βοηθὸν Εὖαν στήριγμα τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· ἐκ τούτων ἐγενήθη τὸ ἀνθρώπων σπέρμα· σὺ εἶπας, οὐ καλὸν εἶναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον μόνον, ποιήσωμεν αὐτῷ βοηθὸν ὅμοιον αὐτῷ.
And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lust, but uprightly: [therefore] mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν, Κύριε, οὐ διὰ πορνείαν ἐγὼ λαμβάνω τὴν ἀδελφήν μου ταύτην, ἀλλὰ ἐπʼ ἀληθείας ἐπίταξον ἐλεῆσαί με, καὶ αὐτῇ συγκαταγηρᾶσαι.
And she said with him, Amen.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε μετʼ αὐτοῦ, ἀμήν.
So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν ἀμφότεροι τὴν νύκτα· καὶ ἀναστὰς Ῥαγουὴλ ἐπορεύθη, καὶ ὤρυξε τὰφον,
saying, [I fear] lest he also be dead.
Greek · Septuagintλέγων, μὴ καὶ οὗτος ἀποθάνῃ;
But when Raguel was come into his house,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἦλθε Ῥαγουὴλ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ἑαυτοῦ,
he said unto his wife Edna, Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if [he be] not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ εἶπεν Ἔδνᾳ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ, ἀπόστειλον μίαν τῶν παιδισκῶν, καὶ ἰδέτωσαν εἰ ζῇ· εἰ δὲ μὴ, ἵνα θάψωμεν αὐτὸν, καὶ μηδεὶς γνῷ.
So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them both asleep,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ παιδίσκη ἀνοίξασα τὴν θύραν, καὶ εὗρε τοὺς δύο καθεύδοντας,
and came forth, and told them that he was alive.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐξελθοῦσα ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ζῇ.
Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise: therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures: and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εὐλόγησε Ῥαγουὴλ τὸν Θεὸν, λέγων, εὐλογητὸς εἶ σὺ ὁ Θεὸς ἐν πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ καθαρᾷ καὶ ἁγίᾳ· καὶ εὐλογείτωσάν σε οἱ ἅγιοί σου, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ κτίσεις σου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοί σου, καὶ οἱ ἐκλεκτοί σου· εὐλογείτωσάν σε εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.
Greek · SeptuagintΕὐλογητὸς εἶ, ὅτι ηὔφρανάς με, καὶ οὐκ ἐγένετό μοι καθὼς ὑπενόουν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ πολὺ ἔλεός σου ἐποίησας μεθʼ ἡμῶν.
Thou art to be praised, because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.
Greek · SeptuagintΕὐλογητὸς εἶ, ὅτι ἠλέησας δύο μονογενεῖς· ποίησον αὐτοῖς, δέσποτα, ἔλεος, συντέλεσον τὴν ζωὴν αὐτῶν ἐν ὑγιείᾳ μετʼ εὐφροσύνης καὶ ἐλέους.
Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.
Greek · SeptuagintἘκέλευσε δὲ τοῖς οἰκέταις χῶσαι τὸν τάφον.
And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς γάμον ἡμερῶν δεκατεσσάρων.
For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ῥαγουὴλ, πρινὴ συντελεσθῆναι τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ γάμου, ἐνόρκως, μὴ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὸν ἐὰν μὴ πληρωθῶσιν αἱ δεκατέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου,
and then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ τότε λαβόντα τὸ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτοῦ πορεύεσθαι μεθʼ ὑγείας πρὸς τὸν πατέρα, καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ὅταν ἀποθάνω, καὶ ἡ γυνή μου.
Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκάλεσε Τωβίας τὸν Ῥαφαὴλ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ,
Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.
Greek · SeptuagintἈζαρία ἀδελφὲ, λάβε μετὰ σεαυτοῦ παῖδα καὶ δύο καμήλους, καὶ πορεύθητι ἐν Ῥάγοις τῆς Μηδίας παρὰ Γαβαὴλ, καὶ κόμισαί μοι τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ αὐτὸν ἄγε μοι εἰς τόν γάμον,
For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.
Greek · Septuagintδιότι ὀμώμοκε Ῥαγουὴλ, μὴ ἐξελθεῖν με.
But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὁ πατήρ μου ἀριθμεῖ τὰς ἡμέρας, καὶ ἐὰν χρονίσω μέγα, ὀδυνηθήσεται λίαν.
So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπορεύθη Ῥαφαὴλ, καὶ ηὐλίσθη παρὰ Γαβαὴλ, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τὸ χειρόγραφον· ὃς δὲ προήνεγκε τὰ θυλάκια ἐν ταῖς σφραγίσι, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ.
And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias blessed his wife.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὤρθρευσαν κοινῶς, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸν γάμον· καὶ εὐλόγησε Τωβίας τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ.
Now Tobit his father counted every day: and when the days of the journey were expired, and they came not,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Τωβὶτ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐλογίσατο ἑκάστης ἡμέρας· καὶ ὡς ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς πορείας, καὶ οὐκ ἤρχετο,
then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the money?
Greek · Septuagintεἶπε μήποτε κατῄσχυνται; ἢ μήποτε ἀπέθανε Γαβαήλ, καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῷ δίδωσι τὸ ἀργύριον;
Therefore he was very sorry.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐλυπεῖτο λίαν.
Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to bewail him, and said,
Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ, ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον, διότι κεχρόνικε· καὶ ἤρξατο θρηνεῖν αὐτὸν, καὶ εἶπεν,
Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the light of mine eyes.
Greek · Septuagintοὐ μέλει μοι, τέκνον, ὅτι ἀφῆκά σε τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου.
To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Τωβὶτ λέγει αὐτῇ, σίγα, μὴ λόγον ἔχε, ὑγιαίνει.
But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat in the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, σίγα, μὴ πλάνα με, ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον μου· καὶ ἐπορεύετο καθʼ ἡμέραν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ἔξω, οἵας ἀπῆλθεν· ἡμέρας τε ἄρτον οὐκ ἤσθιε, τὰς δὲ νύκτας οὐ διελίμπανε θρηνοῦσα Τωβίαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, ἕως οὗ συνετελέσθησαν αἱ δεκατέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου, ἃς ὤμοσε Ῥαγουὴλ ποιῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ·
Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.
Greek · Septuagintεἶπε δὲ Τωβίας τῷ Ῥαγουὴλ, ἐξαπόστειλόν με, ὅτι ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου οὐκέτι ἐλπίζουσιν ὄψεσθαί με.
But his father in law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ πενθερὸς, μεῖνον παρʼ ἐμοὶ, κᾀγὼ ἐξαποστελῶ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου, καὶ δηλώσουσιν αὐτῷ τὰ κατά σε.
But Tobias said, No; but let me go to my father.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Τωβίας λέγει, ἐξαπόστειλόν με πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου.
Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and money:
Greek · SeptuagintἈναστὰς δὲ Ῥαγουὴλ, ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Σάῤῥαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων, σώματα καὶ κτήνη καὶ ἀργύριον,
and he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The God of heaven give you a prosperous journey, my children.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτοὺς ἐξαπέστειλε, λέγων, εὐοδώσει ὑμᾶς τέκνα ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πρὸ τοῦ με ἀποθανεῖν.
And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee, of special trust; wherefore do not entreat her evil.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ, τίμα τοὺς πενθερούς σου, αὐτοὶ νῦν γονεῖς σου εἰσὶν, ἀκούσαιμί σου ἀκοὴν καλήν· καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτήν· καὶ Ἔδνα εἶπε πρὸς Τωβίαν, ἀδελφὲ ἀγαπητὲ, ἀποκαταστήσαι σε ὁ Κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ δῴη μοι ἰδεῖν σου παιδία ἐκ Σάῤῥας τῆς θυγατρός μου, ἵνα εὐφρανθῶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου· καὶ ἰδοὺ παρατίθεμαί σοι τὴν θυγατέρα μου ἐν παρακαταθήκῃ, καὶ μὴ λυπήσῃς αὐτήν.
After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve.
Greek · SeptuagintΜετὰ ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο καὶ Τωβίας εὐλογῶν τὸν Θεὸν, ὅτι εὐώδωσε τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ· καὶ κατευλόγει Ῥαγουὴλ, καὶ Ἔδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπορεύετο μέχρις οὗ ἐγγίσαι αὐτοὺς εἰς Νινευή.
Then Raphael said to Tobias, Dost thou not know, brother, how thou didst leave thy father?
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Ῥαφαὴλ πρὸς Τωβίαν, οὐ γινώσκεις, ἀδελφὲ, πῶς ἀφῆκας τὸν πατέρα σου;
let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house;
Greek · SeptuagintΠροδράμωμεν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς γυναικός σου, καὶ ἑτοιμάσωμεν τὴν οἰκίαν·
and take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
Greek · Septuagintλάβε δὲ παρὰ χεῖρα τὴν χολὴν τοῦ ἰχθύος· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν, καὶ συνῆλθεν ὁ κύων ὄπισθεν αὐτῶν.
Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Ἄννα ἐκάθητο περιβλεπομένη εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν τὸν παῖδα αὐτῆς.
And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσενόησεν αὐτὸν ἐρχόμενον, καὶ εἶπε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱὸς μου ἔρχεται, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ πορευθεὶς μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Ῥαφαὴλ εἶπεν, ἐπίσταμαι ἐγὼ, ὅτι ἀνοίξει τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὁ πατήρ σου.
Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΣὺ ἔγχρισον τὴν χολὴν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ δηχθεὶς διατρίψει, καὶ ἀποβαλεῖται τὰ λευκώματα, καὶ ὄψεταί σε.
Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσδραμοῦσα Ἄννα ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, εἶδόν σε παιδίον, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἀποθανοῦμαι· καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἄμφότεροι.
Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Τωβὶτ ἐξήρχετο πρὸς τὴν θύραν, καὶ προσέκοπτεν· ὁ δὲ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ προσέδραμεν αὐτῷ,
and took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his father's eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐπελάβετο τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσέπασε τὴν χολὴν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, λέγων, θάρσει πάτερ.
And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;
Greek · SeptuagintὩς δὲ συνεδήχθησαν, διέτριψε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ,
and the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐλεπίσθη ἀπὸ τῶν κάνθων τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ λευκώματα· καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ,
And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy angels:
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἔκλαυσε, καὶ εἶπεν, εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ εὐλογημένοι πάντες οἱ ἅγιοί σου ἄγγελοι,
for thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity [on me]: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι ἐμαστίγωσας καὶ ἠλέησάς με· ἰδοὺ βλέπω Τωβίαν τὸν υἱόν μου· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ χαίρων, καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ μεγαλεῖα τὰ γενόμενα αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ Μηδίᾳ.
Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing, and praising God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξῆλθε Τωβίτ εἰς συνάντησιν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν Θεὸν πρὸς τῇ πύλῃ Νινευή· καὶ ἐθαύμαζον οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν πορευόμενον, ὅτι ἔβλεψε.
But Tobit gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and [blessed be] thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Τωβὶτ ἐξωμολογεῖτο ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἠλέησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεός· καὶ ὡς ἤγγισε Τωβὶτ Σάῤῥᾳ τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ, κατευλόγησεν αὐτὴν, λέγων, Ἔλθοις ὑγιαίνουσα θύγατερ· εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεός, ὃς ἤγαγέ σε πρὸς ἡμᾶς, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ σου· καὶ ἐγένετο χαρὰ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν Νινευὴ ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ.
And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother's son, came:
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ παρεγένετο Ἀχιάχαρος, καὶ Νασβὰς ὁ ἐξάδελφος αὐτοῦ,
and Tobias' wedding was kept seven days with great joy.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἤχθη ὁ γάμος Τωβία μετʼ εὐφροσύνης ἡμέρας ἑπτά.
Then Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give him more.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκάλεσε Τωβὶτ Τωβίαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ὅρα, τέκνον, μισθὸν τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ τῷ συνελθόντι σοι· καὶ προσθεῖναι αὐτῷ δεῖ.
And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have brought:
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε, πάτερ, οὐ βλάπτομαι δοὺς αὐτῷ τὸ ἥμισυ ὧν ἐνήνοχα,
for he hath brought me again to thee in safety, and made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and likewise healed thee.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι με ἀγήοχέ σοι ὑγιῆ, καὶ τὴν γυναῖκά μου ἐθεράπευσε, καὶ τὸ ἀργύριόν μου ἤνεγκε, καὶ σὲ ὁμοίως ἐθεράπευσε.
Then the old man said, It is due unto him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ πρεσβύτης, δικαιοῦται αὐτῷ.
So he called the angel, and he said unto him, Take half of all that ye have brought, and go away in safety.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν ἄγγελον, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, λάβε τὸ ἥμισυ πάντων ὧν ἐνηνόχατε, καὶ ὕπαγε ὑγιαίνων.
Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise him.
Greek · SeptuagintΤότε καλέσας τοὺς δύο κρυπτῶς, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, εὐλογεῖτε τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ αὐτῷ ἐξομολογεῖσθε, καὶ μεγαλωσύνην δίδοτε αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθε αὐτῷ ἐνώπιον πάντων τῶν ζώντων περὶ ὧν ἐποίησε μεθʼ ὑμῶν· ἀγαθὸν τὸ εὐλογεῖν τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ ὑψοῦν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, τοὺς λόγους τῶν ἔργων τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐντίμως ὑποδεικνύοντες· καὶ μὴ ὀκνεῖτε ἐξομολογεῖσθαι αὐτῷ.
It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is honourable to reveal the works of God. Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.
Greek · SeptuagintΜυστήριον βασιλέως καλὸν κρύψαι, τὰ δὲ ἔργα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀνακαλύπτειν ἐνδόξως· ἀγαθὸν ποιήσατε, καὶ κακὸν οὐχ εὑρήσει ὑμᾶς.
Prayer is good with fasting and alms and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold:
Greek · SeptuagintἈγαθὸν προσευχὴ μετὰ νηστείας καὶ ἐλεημοσύνης καὶ δικαιοσύνης· ἀγαθὸν τὸ ὀλίγον μετὰ δικαιοσύνης, ἢ πολὺ μετὰ ἀδικίας· καλὸν ποιῆσαι ἐλεημοσύνην ἢ θησαυρίσαι χρυσίον.
for alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life:
Greek · SeptuagintἘλεημοσύνη γὰρ ἐκ θανάτου ῥύεται, καὶ αὕτη ἀποκαθαριεῖ πᾶσαν ἁμαρτίαν· οἱ ποιοῦντες ἐλεημοσύνας καὶ δικαιοσύνας πλησθήσονται ζωῆς.
but they that sin are enemies to their own life.
Greek · SeptuagintΟἱ δὲ ἁμαρτάνοντες πολέμιοί εἰσι τῆς ἑαυτῶν ζωῆς.
Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honourable to reveal the works of God.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐ μὴ κρύψω ἀφʼ ὑμῶν πᾶν ῥῆμα· εἴρηκα δὴ, μυστήριον βασιλέως κρύψαι καλὸν, τὰ δὲ ἔργα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀνακαλύπτειν ἐνδόξως.
Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when thou didst bury the dead, I was with thee likewise.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν ὅτε προσηύξω σὺ καὶ ἡ νύμφη σου Σάῤῥα, ἐγὼ προσήγαγον τὸ μνημόσυνον τῆς προσευχῆς ὑμῶν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἁγίου· καὶ ὅτε ἔθαπτες τοὺς νεκροὺς, ὡσαύτως συμπαρήγμην σοι.
And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave thy dinner, to go and cover the dead, thy good deed was not hid from me: but I was with thee.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ὅτε οὐκ ὤκνησας ἀναστῆναι καὶ καταλιπεῖν τὸ ἄριστόν σου, ὅπως ἀπελθὼν περιστείλῃς τὸν νεκρὸν, οὐκ ἔλαθές με ἀγαθοποιῶν, ἀλλὰ σὺν σοὶ ἤμην.
And now God hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy daughter in law.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν ἀπέστειλέ με ὁ Θεὸς ἰάσασθαί σε καὶ τὴν νύμφην σου Σάῤῥαν.
I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One.
Greek · SeptuagintἘγώ εἰμι Ῥαφαήλ, εἷς ἐκ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἁγίων ἀγγέλων οἳ προσαναφέρουσι τὰς προσευχὰς τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ εἰσπορεύονται ἐνώπιον τῆς δόξης τοῦ ἁγίου.
Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces: for they feared.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐταράχθησαν οἱ δύο, καὶ ἔπεσον ἐπὶ πρόσωπον, ὅτι ἐφοβήθησαν.
But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with you; praise God therefore.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, μὴ φοβεῖσθε, εἰρήνη ὑμῖν ἔσται· τὸν δὲ Θεὸν εὐλογεῖτε εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα,
For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of our God I came; wherefore praise him for ever.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι οὐ τῇ ἐμαυτοῦ χάριτι, ἀλλὰ τῇ θελήσει τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἦλθον, ὅθεν εὐλογεῖτε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
All these days I did appear unto you; but I did neither eat nor drink, but ye did see a vision.
Greek · SeptuagintΠάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὠπτανόμην ὑμῖν, καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγον οὐδὲ ἔπιον, ἀλλὰ ὅρασιν ὑμεῖς ἐθεωρεῖτε.
Now therefore give God thanks: for I go up to him that sent me; but write all things which are done in a book.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ νῦν ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Θεῷ, διότι ἀναβαίνω πρὸς τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με, καὶ γράψατε πάντα τὰ συντελεσθέντα εἰς βιβλίον.
And when they arose, they saw him no more.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀνέστησαν, καὶ οὐκ ἔτι εἶδον αὐτόν.
Then they confessed the great and wonderful works of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξωμολογοῦντο τὰ ἔργα τὰ μεγάλα καὶ θαυμαστὰ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ὤφθη αὐτοῖς ὁ ἄγγελος Κυρίου.
Then Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said, Blessed be God that liveth for ever, and blessed be his kingdom.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ Τωβὶτ ἔγραψε προσευχὴν εἰς ἀγαλλίασιν, καὶ εἶπεν, Εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεὸς ὁ ζῶν εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ,
For he doth scourge, and hath mercy: he leadeth down to hell, and bringeth up again: neither is there any that can avoid his hand.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι αὐτὸς μαστιγοῖ καὶ ἐλεεῖ, κατάγει εἰς ᾅδην καὶ ἀνάγει, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς ἐκφεύξεται τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ.
Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them.
Greek · SeptuagintἘξομολογεῖσθε αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὅτι αὐτὸς διέσπειρεν ἡμᾶς ἐν αὐτοῖς.
There declare his greatness, and extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the God our Father for ever.
Greek · SeptuagintἘκεῖ ὑποδείξατε τὴν μεγαλωσύνην αὐτοῦ, ὑψοῦτε αὐτὸν ἐνώπιον παντὸς ζῶντος, καθότι αὐτὸς Κύριος ἡμῶν, καὶ Θεὸς αὐτὸς πατὴρ ἡμῶν εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας.
And he will scourge us for our iniquities, and will have mercy again, and will gather us out of all nations, among whom he hath scattered us.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ μαστιγώσει ἡμᾶς ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις ἡμῶν, καὶ πάλιν ἐλεήσει, καὶ συνάξει ἡμᾶς ἐκ πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὗ ἐὰν σκορπισθῆτε ἐν αὐτοῖς.
If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will he turn unto you, and will not hide his face from you. Therefore see what he will do with you, and confess him with your whole mouth, and praise the Lord of might, and extol the everlasting King. In the land of my captivity do I praise him, and declare his might and majesty to a sinful nation. O ye sinners, turn and do justice before him: who can tell if he will accept you, and have mercy on you?
Greek · SeptuagintἘὰν ἐπιστρέψητε πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ψυχῇ ὑμῶν, ποιῆσαι ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἀλήθειαν, τότε ἐπιστρέψει πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ οὐ μὴ κρύψει τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀφʼ ὑμῶν· καὶ θεάσασθε ἃ ποιήσει μεθʼ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐξομολογήσασθε αὐτῷ ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ στόματι ὑμῶν, καὶ εὐλογήσατε τὸν Κύριον τῆς δικαιοσύνης, καὶ ὑψώσατε τὸν βασιλέα τῶν αἰώνων· ἐγὼ ἐν τῇ γῇ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας μου ἐξομολογοῦμαι αὐτῷ, καὶ δεικνύω τὴν ἰσχὺν καὶ τὴν μεγαλωσύνην αὐτοῦ ἔθνει ἁμαρτωλῶν· ἐπιστρέψατε ἁμαρτωλοὶ, καὶ ποιήσατε δικαιοσύνην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ· τίς γινώσκει εἰ θελήσει ὑμᾶς, καὶ ποιήσει ἐλεημοσύνην ὑμῖν;
I will extol my God, and my soul shall praise the King of heaven, and shall rejoice in his greatness.
Greek · SeptuagintΤὸν Θεόν μου ὑψῶ, καὶ ἡ φυχή μου τῷ βασιλεῖ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ἀγαλλιάσεται τὴν μεγαλωσύνην αὐτοῦ.
Many nations shall come from far to the name of the Lord God with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the King of heaven; all generations shall praise thee with great joy.
Greek · SeptuagintἜθνη πολλὰ μακρόθεν ἥξει πρὸς τὸ ὄνομα Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ, δῶρα ἐν χερσὶν ἔχοντες, καὶ δῶρα τῷ βασιλεῖ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· γενεαὶ γενεῶν δώσουσί σοι ἀγαλλίαμα.
Cursed [are] all they which hate thee, and blessed shall all be which love thee for ever.
Greek · SeptuagintἘπικατάρατοι πάντες οἱ μισοῦντές σε, εὐλογημένοι ἔσονται πάντες οἱ ἀγαπῶντές σε εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
Rejoice and be glad for the children of the just: for they shall be gathered together, and shall bless the Lord of the just.
Greek · SeptuagintΧάρηθι καὶ ἀγαλλίασαι ἐπὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν δικαίων, ὅτι συναχθήσονται καὶ εὐλογήσουσι τὸν Κύριον τῶν δικαίων.
O blessed [are] they which love thee, [for] they shall rejoice in thy peace: blessed [are] they which have been sorrowful for all thy scourges; for they shall rejoice for thee, when they have seen all thy glory, and shall be glad for ever.
Greek · SeptuagintὮ μακάριοι οἱ ἀγαπῶντές σε, χαρήσονται ἐπὶ τῇ εἰρήνῃ σου· μακάριοι ὅσοι ἐλυπήθησαν ἐπὶ πάσαις ταῖς μάστιξί σου, ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ χαρήσονται θεασάμενοι πᾶσαν τὴν δόξαν σου, καὶ εὐφρανθήσονται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
Let my soul bless God the great King.
Greek · SeptuagintἩ ψυχή μου εὐλογεὶτω τὸν Θεὸν τὸν βασιλέα τὸν μέγαν,
For Jerusalem shall be built up with sapphire, and emerald, and precious stone: thy walls and towers and battlements with pure gold.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι οἰκοδομηθήσεται Ἱερουσαλὴμ σαπφείρῳ καὶ σμαράγδῳ, καὶ λίθῳ ἐντίμῳ τὰ τείχη σου, καὶ οἱ πύργοι, καὶ οἱ προμαχῶνες ἐν χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ,
And the streets of Jerusalem shall be paved with beryl and carbuncle and stone of Ophir.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ αἱ πλατεῖαι Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν βηρύλλῳ, καὶ ἄνθρακι, καὶ λίθῳ ἐκ Σουφεὶρ ψηφολογηθήσονται.
