| 1 | And they went in to Raguel, and Raguel received them with joy. | Ingressi sunt autem ad Raguelem, et suscepit eos Raguel cum gaudio. |
| 2 | And Raguel looking upon Tobias, said to Anna his wife: How like is this young man to my cousin? | Intuensque Tobiam Raguel, dixit Annae uxori suae: Quam similis est iuvenis iste consobrino meo! |
| 3 | And when he had spoken these words, he said: Whence are ye young men our brethren? | Et cum haec dixisset, ait: Unde estis iuvenes fratres nostri? At illi dixerunt: Ex tribu Nephthali sumus, ex captivitate Ninive. |
| 4 | But they said: We are of the tribe of Nephtali, of the captiveof Ninive. | Dixitque illis Raguel: Nostis Tobiam fratrem meum? Qui dixerunt: Novimus. |
| 5 | And Raguel said to them: Do you know Tobias my brother? And they said: We know him. | Cumque multa bona loqueretur de eo, dixit angelus ad Raguelem: Tobias, de quo interrogas, pater istius est. |
| 6 | And when he was speaking many good things of him, the angel said to Raguel: Tobias concerning whom thou inquirest is this young man’s father. | Et misit se Raguel, et cum lacrimis osculatus est eum, et plorans supra collum eius |
| 7 | And Raguel went to him, and kissed him with tears, and weeping upon his neck, said: A blessing be upon thee, my son, because thou art the son of a good and most virtuous man. | dixit: Benedictio sit tibi, fili mi, quia boni et optimi viri filius es. |
| 8 | And Anna his wife, and Sara their daughter wept. | Et Anna uxor eius, et Sara ipsorum filia, lacrimatae sunt. |
| 9 | And after they had spoken, Raguel commanded a sheep to be killed, and a feast to be prepared. And when he desired them to sit down to dinner, | Postquam autem locuti sunt, praecepit Raguel occidi arietem, et parari convivium. Cumque hortaretur eos discumbere ad prandium, |
| 10 | Tobias said: I will not eat nor drink here this day, unless thou first grant me my petition, and promise to give me Sara thy daughter. | Tobias dixit: Hic ego hodie non manducabo neque bibam, nisi prius petitionem meam confirmes, et promittas mihi dare Saram filiam tuam. |
| 11 | Now when Raguel heard this he was afraid, knowing what had happened to those seven husbands, that went in unto her: and he began to fear lest it might happen to him also in like manner: and as he was in suspense, and gave no answer to his petition, | Quo audito verbo Raguel expavit, sciens quid evenerit illis septem viris qui ingressi sunt ad eam: et timere coepit ne forte et hunc similiter contingeret. Et cum nutaret, et non daret petenti ullum responsum, |
| 12 | The angel said to him: Be not afraid to give her to this man, for to him who feareth God is thy daughter due to be his wife: therefore another could not have her. | dixit ei angelus: Noli timere dare eam isti, quoniam huic timenti Deum debetur coniux filia tua: propterea alius non potuit habere illam. |
| 13 | Then Raguel said: I doubt not but God hath regarded my prayers and tears in his sight. | Tunc dixit Raguel: Non dubito quod Deus preces et lacrimas meas in conspectu suo admiserit. |
| 14 | And I believe he hath therefore made you come to me, that this maid might be married to one of her own kindred, according to the law of Moses: and now doubt not but I will give her to thee. | Et credo quoniam ideo fecit vos venire ad me, ut ista coniungeretur cognationi suae secundum legem Moysi: et nunc noli dubium gerere quod tibi eam tradam. |
| 15 | And taking the right hand of his daughter, he gave it into the right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob be with you, and may he join you together, and fulfill his blessing in you. | Et apprehendens dexteram filiae suae, dexterae Tobiae tradidit, dicens: Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Iacob vobiscum sit, et ipse coniungat vos, impleatque benedictionem suam in vobis. |
| 16 | And taking paper they made a writing of the marriage. | Et accepta carta, fecerunt conscriptionem coniugii. |
| 17 | And afterwards they made merry, blessing God. | Et post haec epulati sunt, benedicentes Deum. |
| 18 | And Raguel called to him Anna his wife, and bade her prepare another chamber. | Vocavitque Raguel ad se Annam uxorem suam, et praecepit ei ut praepararet alterum cubiculum. |
| 19 | And she brought Sara her daughter in thither, and she wept. | Et introduxit illuc Saram filiam suam, et lacrimata est. |
| 20 | And she said to her: Be of good cheer, my daughter: the Lord of heaven give thee joy for the trouble thou hast undergone. | Dixitque ei: Forti animo esto, filia mea: Dominus caeli det tibi gaudium pro taedio quod perpessa es. |
