Tobiæ 5
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Tunc respondit Tobias patri suo, et dixit: Omnia quæcumque præcepisti mihi faciam, pater.
1Tobias then answered and said, Father, I will do all things which thou hast commanded me:
2Quomodo autem pecuniam hanc requiram, ignoro: ille me nescit, et ego eum ignoro: quod signum dabo ei? sed neque viam per quam pergatur illuc aliquando cognovi.
2But how can I receive the money, seeing I know him not?
3Tunc pater suus respondit illi, et dixit: Chirographum quidem illius penes me habeo: quod dum illi ostenderis, statim restituet.
3Then he gave him the handwriting, and said unto him, Seek thee a man which may go with thee, whiles I yet live, and I will give him wages: and go and receive the money.
4Sed perge nunc, et inquire tibi aliquem fidelem virum, qui eat tecum salva mercede sua, ut dum adhuc vivo, recipias eam.
4Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Raphael that was an angel.
5Tunc egressus Tobias, invenit juvenem splendidum stantem præcinctum, et quasi paratum ad ambulandum.
5But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go with me to Rages? and knowest thou those places well?
6Et ignorans quod angelus Dei esset, salutavit eum, et dixit: Unde te habemus, bone juvenis?
6To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, and I know the way well: for I have lodged with our brother Gabael.
7At ille respondit: Ex filiis Israël. Et Tobias dixit ei: Nosti viam quæ ducit in regionem Medorum?
7Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me, till I tell my father.
8Cui respondit: Novi: et omnia itinera ejus frequenter ambulavi, et mansi apud Gabelum fratrem nostrum, qui moratur in Rages civitate Medorum, quæ posita est in monte Ecbatanis.
8Then he said unto him, Go and tarry not. So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.
9Cui Tobias ait: Sustine me obsecro, donec hæc ipsa nuntiem patri meo.
9So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one another.
10Tunc ingressus Tobias, indicavit universa hæc patri suo. Super quæ admiratus pater, rogavit ut introiret ad eum.
10Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, shew me of what tribe and family thou art.
11Ingressus itaque salutavit eum, et dixit: Gaudium tibi sit semper.
11To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy son? Then Tobit said unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and name.
12Et ait Tobias: Quale gaudium mihi erit, qui in tenebris sedeo, et lumen cæli non video?
12Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, and of thy brethren.
13Cui ait juvenis: Forti animo esto: in proximo est ut a Deo cureris.
13Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have enquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock: for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stock.
14Dixit itaque illi Tobias: Numquid poteris perducere filium meum ad Gabelum in Rages civitatem Medorum? et cum redieris, restituam tibi mercedem tuam.
14But tell me, what wages shall I give thee? wilt thou a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son?
15Et dixit ei angelus: Ego ducam, et reducam eum ad te.
15Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy wages.
16Cui Tobias respondit: Rogo te, indica mihi de qua domo aut de qua tribu es tu.
16So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when his son had prepared all things for the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth both, and the young man’s dog with them.
17Cui Raphaël angelus dixit: Genus quæris mercenarii, an ipsum mercenarium qui cum filio tuo eat?
17But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our son? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us?
18sed ne forte sollicitum te reddam, ego sum Azarias Ananiæ magni filius.
18Be not greedy to add money to money: but let it be as refuse in respect of our child.
19Et Tobias respondit: Ex magno genere es tu. Sed peto ne irascaris quod voluerim cognoscere genus tuum.
19For that which the Lord hath given us to live with doth suffice us.
20Dixit autem illi angelus: Ego sanum ducam, et sanum tibi reducam filium tuum.
20Then said Tobit to her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.
21Respondens autem Tobias, ait: Bene ambuletis, et sit Deus in itinere vestro, et angelus ejus comitetur vobiscum.
21For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.
22Tunc paratis omnibus quæ erant in via portanda, fecit Tobias vale patri suo et matri suæ, et ambulaverunt ambo simul.
22Then she made an end of weeping.
23Cumque profecti essent, cœpit mater ejus flere, et dicere: Baculum senectutis nostræ tulisti, et transmisisti a nobis.
