Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Καὶ Τωβὶτ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐλογίσατο ἑκάστης ἡμέρας· καὶ ὡς ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς πορείας, καὶ οὐκ ἤρχετο,
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 κατῄσχυνται; ἢ μήποτε ἀπέθανε Γαβαήλ, 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 γυνὴ, 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 μέλει 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 ἔχε, 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 καθʼ ἡμέραν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ἔξω, οἵας ἀπῆλθεν· ἡμέρας τε ἄρτον οὐκ ἤσθιε, τὰς δὲ νύκτας οὐ διελίμπανε θρηνοῦσα Τωβίαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, ἕως οὗ συνετελέσθησαν αἱ δεκατέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου, ἃς ὤμοσε Ῥαγουὴλ ποιῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ·
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 Τωβίας τῷ Ῥαγουὴλ, ἐξαπόστειλόν με, ὅτι ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου οὐκέτι ἐλπίζουσιν ὄψεσθαί με.
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.
9Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ πενθερὸς, μεῖνον παρʼ ἐμοὶ, κᾀγὼ ἐξαποστελῶ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου, καὶ δηλώσουσιν αὐτῷ τὰ κατά σε.
9And Tobias said to him: I know that my father and mother now count the days, and their spirit is grievously afflicted within them.
10Καὶ Τωβίας λέγει, ἐξαπόστειλόν με πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου.
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.
11Ἀναστὰς δὲ Ῥαγουὴλ, ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Σάῤῥαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων, σώματα καὶ κτήνη καὶ ἀργύριον,
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 εὐλογήσας αὐτοὺς ἐξαπέστειλε, λέγων, εὐοδώσει ὑμᾶς τέκνα ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πρὸ τοῦ με ἀποθανεῖν.
12And the parents taking their daughter kissed her, and let her go:
13Καὶ εἶπε τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ, τίμα τοὺς πενθερούς σου, αὐτοὶ νῦν γονεῖς σου εἰσὶν, ἀκούσαιμί σου ἀκοὴν καλήν· καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτήν· καὶ Ἔδνα εἶπε πρὸς Τωβίαν, ἀδελφὲ ἀγαπητὲ, ἀποκαταστήσαι σε ὁ Κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ δῴη μοι ἰδεῖν σου παιδία ἐκ Σάῤῥας τῆς θυγατρός μου, ἵνα εὐφρανθῶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου· καὶ ἰδοὺ παρατίθεμαί σοι τὴν θυγατέρα μου ἐν παρακαταθήκῃ, καὶ μὴ λυπήσῃς αὐτήν.
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.
