| 1 | And Tobias went forward, and the dog followed him, and he lodged the first night by the river of Tigris. | Οἱ δὲ πορευόμενοι τὴν ὁδὸν, ἦλθον ἑσπέρας ἐπὶ τὸν Τίγριν ποταμόν, καὶ ηὐλίζοντο ἐκεῖ. |
| 2 | And he went out to wash his feet, and behold a monstrous fish came up to devour him. | Τὸ δὲ παιδάριον κατέβη περικλύσασθαι, καὶ ἀνεπήδησεν ἰχθὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ ἐβουλήθη καταπιεῖν τὸ παιδάριον. |
| 3 | And Tobias being afraid of him, cried out with a loud voice, saying: Sir, he cometh upon me. | Ὁ δὲ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἐπιλαβοῦ τοῦ ἰχθύος· καὶ ἐκράτησε τὸν ἰχθῦν τὸ παιδάριον, καὶ ἀνέβαλεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. |
| 4 | And the angel said to him: Take him by the gill, and draw him to thee. And when he had done so, he drew him out upon the land, and he began to pant before his feet. | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος, ἀνάτεμε τὸν ἰχθύν, καὶ λαβὼν τὴν καρδίαν καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ καὶ τὴν χολὴν, θὲς ἀσφαλῶς. |
| 5 | Then the angel said to him: Take out the entrails of the fish, and lay up his heart, and his gall, and his liver for thee: for these are necessary for useful medicines. | Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ παιδάριον ὡς εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος· τὸν δὲ ἰχθῦν ὀπτήσαντες, ἔφαγον· καὶ ὥδευον ἀμφότεροι, ἕως οὗ ἤγγισαν ἐν Ἐκβατάνοις. |
| 6 | And when he had done so, he roasted the flesh thereof, and they took it with them in the way: the rest they salted as much as might serve them, till they came to Rages the city of the Medes. | Καὶ εἶπε τὸ παιδάριον τῷ ἀγγέλῳ, Ἀζαρία ἀδελφὲ, τί ἐστιν ἡ καρδία καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ καὶ ἡ χολὴ τοῦ ἰχθύος; |
| 7 | Then Tobias asked the angel, and said to him: I beseech thee, brother Azarias, tell me what remedies are these things good for, which thou hast bid me keep of the fish? | Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἡ καρδία καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ, ἐάν τινα ὀχλῇ δαιμόνιον ἢ πνεῦμα πονηρὸν, ταῦτα δεῖ καπνίσαι ἐνώπιον ἀνθρώπου, ἢ γυναικὸς, καὶ μηκέτι ὀχληθῇ. |
| 8 | And the angel, answering, said to him: If thou put a little piece of its heart upon coals, the smoke thereof driveth away all kind of devils, either from man or from woman, so that they come no more to them. | Ἡ δὲ χολὴ, ἔγχρισαι ἄνθρωπον ὃς ἔχει λευκώματα ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς, καὶ ἰαθήσεται. |
| 9 | And the gall is good for anointing the eyes, in which there is a white speck, and they shall be cured. | Ὡς δὲ προσήγγισαν τῇ Ῥάγῃ, |
| 10 | And Tobias said to him: Where wilt thou that we lodge? | εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος τῷ παιδαρίῳ, ἀδελφὲ, σήμερον αὐλισθησόμεθα παρὰ Ῥαγουὴλ, καὶ αὐτὸς συγγενής σου ἐστὶ, καὶ ἔστιν αὐτῷ θυγατηρ ὀνόματι Σάῤῥα· λαλήσω περὶ αὐτῆς, τοῦ δοθῆναί σοι αὐτὴν εἰς γυναῖκα, |
| 11 | And the angel answering, said: Here is one whose name is Raguel, a near kinsman of thy tribe, and he hath a daughter named Sara, but he hath no son nor any other daughter beside her. | καὶ ὅτι σοι ἐπιβάλλει ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῆς, καὶ σὺ μόνος εἶ ἐκ τοῦ γένους αὐτῆς· |
| 12 | All his substance is due to thee, and thou must take her to wife. | Καὶ τὸ κοράσιον καλὸν καὶ φρόνιμόν ἐστι· καὶ νῦν ἄκουσόν μου, καὶ λαλήσω τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῆς, καὶ ὅταν ὑποστρέψομεν ἐκ Ῥαγῶν, ποιήσομεν τὸν γάμον· διότι ἐπίσταμαι Ῥαγουὴλ ὅτι οὐ μὴ δῷ αὐτὴν ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ κατὰ τὸν νόμον Μωυσῇ, ἢ ὀφειλήσει θάνατον, ὅτι τὴν κληρονομίαν σοι καθήκει λαβεῖν, ἢ πάντα ἄνθρωπον. |
| 13 | Ask her therefore of her father, and he will give her thee to wife. | Τότε εἶπε τὸ παιδάριον τῷ ἀγγέλῳ, Ἀζαρία ἀδελφὲ, ἀκήκοα ἐγὼ τὸ κοράσιον δεδόσθαι ἑπτὰ ἀνδράσι, καὶ πάντας ἐν τῷ νυμφῶνι ἀπολωλότας· |
| 14 | Then Tobias answered, and said: I hear that she hath been given to seven husbands, and they all died: moreover I have heard, that a devil killed them. | καὶ νῦν ἐγὼ μόνος εἰμὶ τῷ πατρὶ, καὶ φοβοῦμαι μὴ εἰσελθὼν ἀποθάνω καθὼς καὶ οἱ πρότεροι, ὅτι δαιμόνιον φιλεῖ αὐτὴν, ὃ οὐκ ἀδικεῖ οὐδένα πλὴν τῶν προσαγόντων αὐτῇ· καὶ νῦν ἐγὼ φοβοῦμαι μὴ ἀποθάνω, καὶ κατάξω τὴν ζωὴν τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ τῆς μητρός μου μετʼ ὀδύνης ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ εἰς τὸν τάφον αὐτῶν, καὶ υἱὸς ἕτερος οὐκ ὑπάρχει αὐτοῖς ὃς θάψει αὐτούς. |
| 15 | Now I am afraid, lest the same thing should happen to me also: and whereas I am the only child of my parents, I should bring down their old age with sorrow to hell. | Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος, οὐ μέμνησαι τῶν λόγων ὧν ἐνετείλατό σοι ὁ πατήρ σου, ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαβεῖν σε γυναῖκα ἐκ τοῦ γένους σου; καὶ νῦν ἄκουσόν μου, ἀδελφὲ, διότι σοι ἔσται εἰς γυναῖκα, καὶ τοῦ δαιμονίου μηδένα λόγον ἔχε, ὅτι τὴν νύκτα ταύτην δοθήσεταί σοι αὕτη εἰς γυναῖκα. |
| 16 | Then the angel Raphael said to him: Hear me, and I will shew thee who they are, over whom the devil can prevail. | Καὶ ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃς εἰς τὸν νυμφῶνα, λήψῃ τέφραν θυμιαμάτων, |
| 17 | For they who in such manner receive matrimony, as to shut out God from themselves, and from their mind, and to give themselves to their lust, as the horse and mule, which have not understanding, over them the devil hath power. | καὶ καπνίσεις, καὶ ὀσφρανθήσεται τὸ δαιμόνιον, καὶ φεύξεται, καὶ οὐκ ἐπανελεύσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος. ὅταν δὲ προσπορεύῃ αὐτῇ, ἐγέρθητε ἀμφότεροι, καὶ βοήσατε πρὸς τὸν ἐλεήμονα Θεὸν, καὶ σώσει ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐλεήσει· μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι σοὶ αὕτη ἡτοιμασμένη ἦν ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ σὺ αὐτὴν σώσεις, καὶ πορεύσεται μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ ὑπολαμβάνω ὅτι σοὶ ἔσται ἐξ αὐτῆς παιδία· καὶ ὡς ἤκουσε Τωβίας ταῦτα, ἐφίλησεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐκολλήθη σφόδρα αὐτῇ· καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ἐκβάτανα. |
| 18 | But thou when thou shalt take her, go into the chamber, and for three days keep thyself continent from her, and give thyself to nothing else but to prayers with her. | — |
| 19 | And on that night lay the liver of the fish on the fire, and the devil shall be driven away. | — |
| 20 | But the second night thou shalt be admitted into the society of the holy Patriarchs. | — |
| 21 | And the third night thou shalt obtain a blessing that sound children may be born of you. | — |
| 22 | And when the third night is past, thou shalt take the virgin with the fear of the Lord, moved rather for love of children than for lust, that in the seed of Abraham thou mayst obtain a blessing in children. | — |
