1ΟΤΕ δὲ συνετέλεσαν δειπνοῦντες, εἰσήγαγον Τωβίαν πρὸς αὐτήν.
1And after they had supped, they brought in the young man to her.
2ὁ δὲ πορευόμενος ἐμνήσθη τῶν λόγων Ραφαὴλ καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν τέφραν τῶν θυμιαμάτων καὶ ἐπέθηκε τὴν καρδίαν τοῦ ἰχθύος καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ καὶ ἐκάπνισεν.
2And Tobias remembering the angel’s word, took out of his bag part of the liver, and laid it upon burning coals.
3ὅτε δὲ ὠσφράνθη τὸ δαιμόνιον τῆς ὀσμῆς, ἔφυγεν εἰς τὰ ἀνώτατα Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸ ὁ ἄγγελος.
3Then the angel Raphael took the devil, and bound him in the desert of upper Egypt.
4ὡς δὲ συνεκλείσθησαν ἀμφότεροι, ἀνέστη Τωβίας ἀπὸ τῆς κλίνης καὶ εἶπεν· ἀνάστηθι, ἀδελφή, καὶ προσευξώμεθα, ἵνα ἐλεήσῃ ἡμᾶς ὁ Κύριος.
4Then Tobias exhorted the virgin, and said to her: Sara, arise, and let us pray to God today, and tomorrow, and the next day: because for these three nights we are joined to God: and when the third night is over, we will be in our own wedlock.
5καὶ ἤρξατο Τωβίας λέγειν· εὐλογητὸς εἶ, ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ἔνδοξον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· εὐλογησάτωσάν σε οἱ οὐρανοὶ καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ κτίσεις σου.
5For we are the children of saints, and we must not be joined together like heathens that know not God.
6σὺ ἐποίησας Ἀδὰμ καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτῷ βοηθὸν Εὔαν στήριγμα τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· ἐκ τούτων ἐγεννήθη τὸ ἀνθρώπων σπέρμα. σὺ εἶπας· οὐ καλὸν εἶναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον μόνον, ποιήσωμεν αὐτῷ βοηθὸν ὅμοιον αὐτῷ.
6So they both arose, and prayed earnestly both together that health might be given them,
7καὶ νῦν, Κύριε, οὐ διά πορνείαν ἐγὼ λαμβάνω τὴν ἀδελφήν μου ταύτην, ἀλλὰ ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας ἐπίταξον ἐλεῆσαί με καὶ αὐτῇ συγκαταγηρᾶσαι.
7And Tobias said: Lord God of our father, may the heavens and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains, and the rivers, and all thy creatures that are in them, bless thee.
8καὶ εἶπε μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· ἀμήν.
8Thou madest Adam of the slime of the earth, and gavest him Eve for a helper.
9καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν ἀμφότεροι τὴν νύκτα.
9And now, Lord, thou knowest, that not for fleshly lust do I take my sister to wife, but only for the love of posterity, in which thy name may be blessed for ever and ever.
10καὶ ἀναστὰς Ραγουὴλ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ὤρυξε τάφον λέγων· μὴ καὶ οὗτος ἀποθάνῃ;
10Sara also said: Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, and let us grow old both together in health.
11καὶ ἦλθε Ραγουὴλ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ἑαυτοῦ
11And it came to pass about the cockcrowing, Raguel ordered his servants to be called for, and they went with him together to dig a grave.
12καὶ εἶπεν Ἔδνᾳ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ· ἀπόστειλον μίαν τῶν παιδισκῶν, καὶ ἰδέτωσαν εἰ ζῇ· εἰ δὲ μή, ἵνα θάψωμεν αὐτόν, καὶ μηδεὶς γνῷ.
12For he said: Lest perhaps it may have happened to him, in like manner as it did to the other seven husbands, that went in unto her.
13καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ παιδίσκη ἀνοίξασα τὴν θύραν καὶ εὗρε τοὺς δύο καθεύδοντας.
13And when they had prepared the pit, Raguel went back to his wife, and said to her:
14καὶ ἐξελθοῦσα ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ζῇ.
14Send one of thy maids, and let her see if he be dead, that I may bury him before it be day.
15καὶ εὐλόγησε Ραγουὴλ τὸν Θεὸν λέγων· εὐλογητὸς εἶ σύ, ὁ Θεός, ἐν πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ καθαρᾷ καὶ ἁγίᾳ, καὶ εὐλογείτωσάν σε οἱ ἅγιοί σου καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ κτίσεις σου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοί σου καὶ οἱ ἐκλεκτοί σου εὐλογείτωσάν σε εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.
15So she sent one of her maidservants, who went into the chamber, and found them safe and sound, sleeping both together.
16εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὅτι ηὔφρανάς με, καὶ οὐκ ἐγένετό μοι καθὼς ὑπενόουν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ πολὺ ἔλεός σου ἐποίησας μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν.
16And returning she brought the good news: and Raguel and Anna his wife blessed the Lord,
17εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὅτι ἠλέησας δύο μονογενεῖς· ποίησον αὐτοῖς, δέσποτα, ἔλεος, συντέλεσον τὴν ζωὴν αὐτῶν ἐν ὑγιείᾳ μετ᾿ εὐφροσύνης καὶ ἐλέους.
17And said: We bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because it hath not happened as we suspected.
18ἐκέλευσε δὲ τοῖς οἰκέταις χῶσαι τὸν τάφον.
18For thou hast shewn thy mercy to us, and hast shut out from us the enemy that persecuted us.
19καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς γάμον ἡμερῶν δεκατεσσάρων.
19And thou hast taken pity upon two only children. Make them, O Lord, bless thee more fully: and to offer up to thee a sacrifice of thy praise, and of their health, that all nations may know, that thou alone art God in all the earth.
20καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ραγουὴλ πρὶν ἢ συντελεσθῆναι τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ γάμου ἐνόρκως μὴ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὸν ἐὰν μὴ πληρωθῶσιν αἱ δεκατέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου.
20And immediately Raguel commanded his servants, to fill up the pit they had made, before it was day.
21καὶ τότε λαβόντα τὸ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτοῦ πορεύεσθαι μεθ᾿ ὑγιείας πρὸς τὸν πατέρα· καὶ τὰ λοιπά, ὅταν ἀποθάνω καὶ ἡ γυνή μου.
21And he spoke to his wife to make ready a feast, and prepare all kind of provisions that are necessary for such as go a journey.
