Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1ΚΑΙ Τωβὶτ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐλογίσατο ἑκάστης ἡμέρας· καὶ ὡς ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς πορείας καὶ οὐκ ἤρχοντο,
1But as Tobias made longer stay upon occasion of the marriage, Tobias his father was solicitous, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my son tarry, or why is he detained there?
2εἶπε· μήποτε κατῃ£σχυνται; ἢ μήποτε ἀπέθανε Γαβαὴλ καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῷ δίδωσι τὸ ἀργύριον;
2Is Gabelus dead, thinkest thou, and no man will pay him the money?
3καὶ ἐλυπεῖτο λίαν.
3And he began to be exceeding sad, both he and Anna his wife with him: and they began both to weep together: because their son did not return to them on the day appointed.
4εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή· ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον, διότι κεχρόνικε· καὶ ἤρξατο θρηνεῖν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν·
4But his mother wept and was quite disconsolate, and said: Woe, woe is me, my son; why did we send thee to go to a strange country, the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the comfort of our life, the hope of our posterity?
5οὐ μέλοι μοι, τέκνον, ὅτι ἀφῆκά σε τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου;
5We having all things together in thee alone, ought not to have let thee go from us.
6καὶ Τωβὶτ λέγει αὐτῇ· σίγα, μὴ λόγον ἔχει, ὑγιαίνει.
6And Tobias said to her: Hold thy peace, and be not troubled, our son is safe: that man with whom we sent him is very trusty.
7καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· σίγα, μὴ πλάνα με, ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον μου. καὶ ἐπορεύετο καθ᾿ ἡμέραν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ἔξω, οἵας ἀπῆλθεν, ἡμέρας τε ἄρτον οὐκ ἤσθιε, τὰς δέ νύκτας οὐ διελίμπανε θρηνοῦσα Τωβίαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, ἕως οὗ συνετελέσθησαν αἱ δεκατέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου, ἃς ὤμοσε Ραγουὴλ ποιῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ· εἶπε δὲ Τωβίας τῷ Ραγουήλ· ἐξαπόστειλόν με, ὅτι ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου οὐκέτι ἐλπίζουσιν ὄψεσθαί με.
7But she could by no means be comforted, but daily running out looked round about, and went into all the ways by which there seemed any hope he might return, that she might if possible see him coming afar off.
8εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ πενθερός· μεῖνον παρ᾿ ἐμοί, κἀγὼ ἐξαποστελῶ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ δηλώσουσιν αὐτῷ τὰ κατὰ σέ.
8But Raguel said to his son in law: Stay here, and I will send a messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health.
9καὶ Τωβίας λέγει· ἐξαπόστειλόν με πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου.
9And Tobias said to him: I know that my father and mother now count the days, and their spirit is grievously afflicted within them.
10ἀναστὰς δὲ Ραγουὴλ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Σάρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων, σώματα καὶ κτήνη καὶ ἀργύριον,
10And when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels, and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from him.
11καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτοὺς ἐξαπέστειλε λέγων· εὐοδώσει ὑμᾶς, τέκνα, ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πρὸ τοῦ με ἀποθανεῖν.
11Saying: The holy angel of the Lord be with you in your journey, and bring you through safe, and that you may find all things well about your parents, and my eyes see your children before I die.
12καὶ εἶπε τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ· τίμα τοὺς πενθερούς σου, αὐτοὶ νῦν γονεῖς σού εἰσιν· ἀκούσαιμί σου ἀκοὴν καλήν, καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτήν. καὶ Ἔδνα εἶπε πρὸς Τωβίαν· ἀδελφὲ ἀγαπητέ, ἀποκαταστήσαι σε ὁ Κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ δῴη μοι ἰδεῖν σου παιδία ἐκ Σάρρας τῆς θυγατρός μου, ἵνα εὐφρανθῶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου· καὶ ἰδοὺ παρατίθεμαί σοι τὴν θυγατέρα μου ἐν παρακαταθήκῃ, μὴ λυπήσῃς αὐτήν.
12And the parents taking their daughter kissed her, and let her go:
13μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο καὶ Τωβίας εὐλογῶν τὸν Θεόν, ὅτι εὐώδωσε τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατευλόγει Ραγουὴλ καὶ Ἔδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ.
13Admonishing her to honour her father and mother in law, to love her husband, to take care of the family, to govern the house, and to behave herself irreprehensibly.
