| 1 | And as they were returning they came to Charan, which is in the midway to Ninive, the eleventh day. | Μετὰ 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. |
| 2 | And the angel said: Brother Tobias, thou knowest how thou didst leave thy father. | Καὶ εἶπε Ῥαφαὴλ πρὸς Τωβίαν, οὐ γινώσκεις, ἀδελφὲ, πῶς ἀφῆκας τὸν πατέρα σου; |
| 3 | If it please thee therefore, let us go before, and let the family follow softly after us, together with thy wife, and with the beasts. | Προδράμωμεν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς γυναικός σου, καὶ ἑτοιμάσωμεν τὴν οἰκίαν· |
| 4 | And as this their going pleased him, Raphael said to Tobias: Take with thee of the gall of the fish, for it will be necessary. So Tobias took some of that gall and departed. | λάβε δὲ παρὰ χεῖρα τὴν χολὴν τοῦ ἰχθύος· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν, καὶ συνῆλθεν ὁ κύων ὄπισθεν αὐτῶν. |
| 5 | But Anna sat beside the way daily, on the top of a hill, from whence she might see afar off. | Καὶ Ἄννα ἐκάθητο περιβλεπομένη εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν τὸν παῖδα αὐτῆς. |
| 6 | And while she watched his coming from that place, she saw him afar off, and presently perceived it was her son coming: and returning she told her husband, saying: Behold thy son cometh. | Καὶ προσενόησεν αὐτὸν ἐρχόμενον, καὶ εἶπε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱὸς μου ἔρχεται, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ πορευθεὶς μετʼ αὐτοῦ. |
| 7 | And Raphael said to Tobias: As soon as thou shalt come into thy house, forthwith adore the Lord thy God: and giving thanks to him, go to thy father, and kiss him. | Καὶ Ῥαφαὴλ εἶπεν, ἐπίσταμαι ἐγὼ, ὅτι ἀνοίξει τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὁ πατήρ σου. |
| 8 | And immediately anoint his eyes with this gall of the fish, which thou carriest with thee. For be assured that his eyes shall be presently opened, and thy father shall see the light of heaven, and shall rejoice in the sight of thee. | Σὺ ἔγχρισον τὴν χολὴν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ δηχθεὶς διατρίψει, καὶ ἀποβαλεῖται τὰ λευκώματα, καὶ ὄψεταί σε. |
| 9 | Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran before, and coming as if he had brought the news, shewed his joy by his fawning and wagging his tail. | Καὶ προσδραμοῦσα Ἄννα ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, εἶδόν σε παιδίον, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἀποθανοῦμαι· καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἄμφότεροι. |
| 10 | And his father that was blind, rising up, began to run stumbling with his feet: and giving a servant his hand, went to meet his son. | Καὶ Τωβὶτ ἐξήρχετο πρὸς τὴν θύραν, καὶ προσέκοπτεν· ὁ δὲ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ προσέδραμεν αὐτῷ, |
| 11 | And receiving him kissed him, as did also his wife, and they began to weep for joy. | καὶ ἐπελάβετο τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσέπασε τὴν χολὴν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, λέγων, θάρσει πάτερ. |
| 12 | And when they had adored God, and given him thanks, they sat down together. | Ὡς δὲ συνεδήχθησαν, διέτριψε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, |
| 13 | Then Tobias taking of the gall of the fish, anointed his father’s eyes. | καὶ ἐλεπίσθη ἀπὸ τῶν κάνθων τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ λευκώματα· καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ, |
| 14 | And he stayed about half an hour: and a white skin began to come out of his eyes, like the skin of an egg. | Καὶ ἔκλαυσε, καὶ εἶπεν, εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ εὐλογημένοι πάντες οἱ ἅγιοί σου ἄγγελοι, |
| 15 | And Tobias took hold of it, and drew it from his eyes, and immediately he recovered his sight. | ὅτι 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. |
| 16 | And they glorified God, both he and his wife and all that knew them. | Καὶ ἐξῆλθε Τωβίτ εἰς συνάντησιν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν Θεὸν πρὸς τῇ πύλῃ Νινευή· καὶ ἐθαύμαζον οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν πορευόμενον, ὅτι ἔβλεψε. |
| 17 | And Tobias said: I bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because thou hast chastised me, and thou hast saved me: and behold I see Tobias my son. | Καὶ 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. |
| 18 | And after seven days Sara his son’s wife, and all the family arrived safe, and the cattle, and the camels, and an abundance of money of his wife’s: and that money also which he had received of Gabelus: | Καὶ παρεγένετο Ἀχιάχαρος, καὶ Νασβὰς ὁ ἐξάδελφος αὐτοῦ, |
| 19 | And he told his parents all the benefits of God, which he had done to him by the man that conducted him. | καὶ ἤχθη ὁ γάμος Τωβία μετʼ εὐφροσύνης ἡμέρας ἑπτά. |
| 20 | And Achior and Nabath the kinsmen of Tobias came, rejoicing for Tobias, and congratulating with him for all the good things that God had done for him. | — |
| 21 | And for seven days they feasted and rejoiced all with great joy. | — |
