King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house.
1Ingressi sunt autem ad Raguelem, et suscepit eos Raguel cum gaudio.
2Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin!
2Intuensque Tobiam Raguel, dixit Annæ uxori suæ: Quam similis est juvenis iste consobrino meo !
3And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve.
3Et cum hæc dixisset, ait: Unde estis juvenes fratres nostri? At illi dixerunt: Ex tribu Nephthali sumus, ex captivitate Ninive.
4Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health?
4Dixitque illis Raguel: Nostis Tobiam fratrem meum? Qui dixerunt: Novimus.
5And they said, He is both alive, and in good health: and Tobias said, He is my father.
5Cumque multa bona loqueretur de eo, dixit angelus ad Raguelem: Tobias, de quo interrogas, pater istius est.
6Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept,
6Et misit se Raguel, et cum lacrimis osculatus est eum, et plorans supra collum ejus
7And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.
7dixit: Benedictio sit tibi, fili mi, quia boni et optimi viri filius es.
8And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.
8Et Anna uxor ejus, et Sara ipsorum filia, lacrimatæ sunt.
9So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:
9Postquam autem locuti sunt, præcepit Raguel occidi arietem, et parari convivium. Cumque hortaretur eos discumbere ad prandium,
10For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth.
10Tobias dixit: Hic ego hodie non manducabo neque bibam, nisi prius petitionem meam confirmes, et promittas mihi dare Saram filiam tuam.
11I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.
11Quo audito verbo Raguel expavit, sciens quid evenerit illis septem viris qui ingressi sunt ad eam: et timere cœpit ne forte et hunc similiter contingeret. Et cum nutaret, et non daret petenti ullum responsum,
12Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things.
12dixit ei angelus: Noli timere dare eam isti, quoniam huic timenti Deum debetur conjux filia tua: propterea alius non potuit habere illam.
13Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;
13Tunc dixit Raguel: Non dubito quod Deus preces et lacrimas meas in conspectu suo admiserit.
14And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it.
14Et credo quoniam ideo fecit vos venire ad me, ut ista conjungeretur cognationi suæ secundum legem Moysi: et nunc noli dubium gerere quod tibi eam tradam.
15Then they began to eat.
15Et apprehendens dexteram filiæ suæ, dexteræ Tobiæ tradidit, dicens: Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob vobiscum sit, et ipse conjungat vos, impleatque benedictionem suam in vobis.
16After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither.
16Et accepta carta, fecerunt conscriptionem conjugii.
17Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her,
17Et post hæc epulati sunt, benedicentes Deum.
18Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.
18Vocavitque Raguel ad se Annam uxorem suam, et præcepit ei ut præpararet alterum cubiculum.
