King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And when they had supped, they brought Tobias in unto her.
1Postquam vero cœnaverunt, introduxerunt juvenem ad eam.
2And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith.
2Recordatus itaque Tobias sermonum angeli, protulit de cassidili suo partem jecoris, posuitque eam super carbones vivos.
3The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.
3Tunc Raphaël angelus apprehendit dæmonium, et religavit illud in deserto superioris Ægypti.
4And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us.
4Tunc hortatus est virginem Tobias, dixitque ei: Sara, exsurge, et deprecemur Deum hodie, et cras, et secundum cras: quia his tribus noctibus Deo jungimur; tertia autem transacta nocte, in nostro erimus conjugio.
5Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.
5Filii quippe sanctorum sumus, et non possumus ita conjungi sicut gentes quæ ignorant Deum.
6Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.
6Surgentes autem pariter, instanter orabant ambo simul, ut sanitas daretur eis.
7And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lust but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.
7Dixitque Tobias: Domine Deus patrum nostrorum, benedicant te cæli et terræ, mareque et fontes, et flumina, et omnes creaturæ tuæ quæ in eis sunt.
8And she said with him, Amen.
8Tu fecisti Adam de limo terræ, dedistique ei adjutorium Hevam.
9So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,
9Et nunc Domine, tu scis quia non luxuriæ causa accipio sororem meam conjugem, sed sola posteritatis dilectione, in qua benedicatur nomen tuum in sæcula sæculorum.
10Saying, I fear lest he also be dead.
10Dixit quoque Sara: Miserere nobis Domine, miserere nobis, et consenescamus ambo pariter sani.
11But when Raguel was come into his house,
11Et factum est circa pullorum cantum, accersiri jussit Raguel servos suos, et abierunt cum eo pariter ut foderent sepulchrum.
12He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.
12Dicebat enim: Ne forte simili modo evenerit ei, quo et ceteris illis septem viris qui sunt ingressi ad eam.
13So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them both asleep,
13Cumque parassent fossam, reversus Raguel ad uxorem suam, dixit ei:
14And came forth, and told them that he was alive.
14Mitte unam de ancillis tuis, et videat si mortuus est, ut sepeliam eum antequam illucescat dies.
15Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.
15At illa misit unam ex ancillis suis. Quæ ingressa cubiculum, reperit eos salvos et incolumes, secum pariter dormientes.
16Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.
16Et reversa nuntiavit bonum nuntium: et benedixerunt Dominum, Raguel videlicet et Anna uxor ejus,
17Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.
17et dixerunt: Benedicimus te, Domine Deus Israël, quia non contigit quemadmodum putabamus.
18Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.
18Fecisti enim nobiscum misericordiam tuam, et exclusisti a nobis inimicum persequentem nos.
19And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.
19Misertus es autem duobus unicis. Fac eos, Domine, plenius benedicere te, et sacrificium tibi laudis tuæ et suæ sanitatis offerre, ut cognoscat universitas gentium quia tu es Deus solus in universa terra.
20For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;
20Statimque præcepit servis suis Raguel ut replerent fossam quam fecerant priusquam elucesceret.
21And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.
21Uxori autem suæ dixit ut instrueret convivium, et præpararet omnia quæ in cibos erant iter agentibus necessaria.
