Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And they went in to Raguel, and Raguel received them with joy.
1Καὶ παρεγένετο εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Ῥαγουήλ· καὶ Σάῤῥα δὲ ὑπήντησεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐχαιρέτισεν αὐτὸν, καὶ αὐτὸς αὐτούς· καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν.
2And Raguel looking upon Tobias, said to Anna his wife: How like is this young man to my cousin?
2Καὶ εἶπεν Ῥαγουὴλ Ἔδνᾳ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ὅμοιος ὁ νεανίσκος Τωβὶτ τῷ ἀνεψιῷ μου;
3And when he had spoken these words, he said: Whence are ye young men our brethren?
3Καὶ ἠρώτησεν αὐτοὺς Ῥαγουὴλ, πόθεν ἐστὲ, ἀδελφοί; καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ, ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Νεφθαλὶ τῶν αἰχμαλώτων ἐν Νινευῇ.
4But they said: We are of the tribe of Nephtali, of the captiveof Ninive.
4Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, γινώσκετε Τωβὶτ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν;
5And Raguel said to them: Do you know Tobias my brother? And they said: We know him.
5Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, καὶ ζῇ, καὶ ὑγιαίνει· καὶ εἶπε Τωβίας, πατήρ μου ἐστί.
6And 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.
6Καὶ ἀνεπήδησε Ῥαγουὴλ, καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἔκλαυσε,
7And 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.
7καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ὁ τοῦ καλοῦ καὶ ἀγαθοῦ ἀνθρώπου υἱός· καὶ ἀκούσας ὅτι Τωβὶτ ἀπώλεσε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἑαυτοῦ, ἐλυπήθη καὶ ἔκλαυσε.
8And Anna his wife, and Sara their daughter wept.
8Καὶ Ἔδνα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ Σάῤῥα ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτοῦ ἔκλαυσαν, καὶ ὑπεδέξαντο αὐτοὺς προθύμως· καὶ ἔθυσαν κριὸν προβάτων, καὶ παρέθηκαν ὄψα πλείονα· εἶπε δὲ Τωβίας τῷ Ῥαφαὴλ, Ἀζαρία ἀδελφὲ, λάλησον ὑπὲρ ὧν ἔλεγες ἐν τῇ πορείᾳ, καὶ τελεσθήτω τὸ πρᾶγμα.
9And 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,
9Καὶ μετέδωκε τὸν λόγον τῷ Ῥαγουήλ·
10Tobias 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.
10καὶ εἶπε Ῥαγουὴλ πρὸς Τωβίαν, φάγε, πίε, καὶ ἡδέως γίνου, σοὶ γὰρ καθήκει τὸ παιδίον μου λαβεῖν· πλὴν ὑποδείξω σοι τὴν ἀλήθειαν.
11Now 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,
11Ἔδωκα τὸ παιδίον μου ἑπτὰ ἀνδράσι, καὶ ὁπότε ἐὰν εἰσεπορεύοντο πρὸς αὐτὴν, ἀπέθνησκον ὑπὸ τὴν νύκτα· ἀλλὰ τὸ νῦν ἔχον. ἡδέως γίνου· καὶ εἶπε Τωβίας, οὐ γεύομαι οὐδὲν ὧδε, ἕως ἂν στήσητε καὶ σταθῆτε πρὸς μέ.
12The 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.
12Καὶ εἶπε Ῥαγουὴλ, κομίζου αὐτὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν· σὺ δὲ ἀδελφὸς εἶ αὐτῆς, καὶ αὐτή σου ἐστίν· ὁ δὲ ἐλεήμων Θεὸς εὐοδώσει ὑμῖν τὰ κάλλιστα.
13Then Raguel said: I doubt not but God hath regarded my prayers and tears in his sight.
13Καὶ ἐκάλεσε Σάῤῥαν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ λαβὼν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, παρέδωκεν αὐτὴν Τωβίᾳ γυναῖκα, καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ κατὰ τὸν νόμον Μωυσέως κομίζου αὐτὴν, καὶ ἄπαγε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου· καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς.
14And 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.
14Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἔδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· καὶ λαβὼν βιβλίον, ἔγραψε συγγραφὴν, καὶ ἐσφραγίσατο.
15And 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.
15Καὶ ἤρξαντο ἐσθίειν.
16And taking paper they made a writing of the marriage.
16Καὶ ἐκάλεσε Ῥαγουὴλ Ἔδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, ἀδελφὴ ἑτοίμασον τὸ ἕτερον ταμεῖον, καὶ εἰσάγαγε αὐτήν.
17And afterwards they made merry, blessing God.
17Καὶ ἐποίησεν ὡς εἶπε· καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὴν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἔκλαυσε· καὶ ἀπεδέξατο τὰ δάκρυα τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ,
18And Raguel called to him Anna his wife, and bade her prepare another chamber.
18θάρσει τέκνον, ὁ Κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς δῴη σοι χάριν ἀντὶ τῆς λύπης σου ταύτης, θάρσει θύγατερ.
19And she brought Sara her daughter in thither, and she wept.
