Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Οἱ δὲ πορευόμενοι τὴν ὁδὸν, ἦλθον ἑσπέρας ἐπὶ τὸν Τίγριν ποταμόν, καὶ ηὐλίζοντο ἐκεῖ.
1And as they went on their journey, they came in the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged there.
2Τὸ δὲ παιδάριον κατέβη περικλύσασθαι, καὶ ἀνεπήδησεν ἰχθὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ, καὶ ἐβουλήθη καταπιεῖν τὸ παιδάριον.
2And when the young man went down to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him.
3Ὁ δὲ ἄγγελος εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἐπιλαβοῦ τοῦ ἰχθύος· καὶ ἐκράτησε τὸν ἰχθῦν τὸ παιδάριον, καὶ ἀνέβαλεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.
3Then the angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land.
4Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος, ἀνάτεμε τὸν ἰχθύν, καὶ λαβὼν τὴν καρδίαν καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ καὶ τὴν χολὴν, θὲς ἀσφαλῶς.
4To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely.
5Καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ παιδάριον ὡς εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος· τὸν δὲ ἰχθῦν ὀπτήσαντες, ἔφαγον· καὶ ὥδευον ἀμφότεροι, ἕως οὗ ἤγγισαν ἐν Ἐκβατάνοις.
5So the young man did as the angel commanded him; and when they had roasted the fish, they did eat it: then they both went on their way, till they drew near to Ecbatane.
6Καὶ εἶπε τὸ παιδάριον τῷ ἀγγέλῳ, Ἀζαρία ἀδελφὲ, τί ἐστιν ἡ καρδία καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ καὶ ἡ χολὴ τοῦ ἰχθύος;
6Then the young man said to the angel, Brother Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the gal of the fish?
7Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἡ καρδία καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ, ἐάν τινα ὀχλῇ δαιμόνιον ἢ πνεῦμα πονηρὸν, ταῦτα δεῖ καπνίσαι ἐνώπιον ἀνθρώπου, ἢ γυναικὸς, καὶ μηκέτι ὀχληθῇ.
7And he said unto him, Touching the heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make a smoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the party shall be no more vexed.
8Ἡ δὲ χολὴ, ἔγχρισαι ἄνθρωπον ὃς ἔχει λευκώματα ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς, καὶ ἰαθήσεται.
8As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed.
9Ὡς δὲ προσήγγισαν τῇ Ῥάγῃ,
9And when they were come near to Rages,
10εἶπεν ὁ ἄγγελος τῷ παιδαρίῳ, ἀδελφὲ, σήμερον αὐλισθησόμεθα παρὰ Ῥαγουὴλ, καὶ αὐτὸς συγγενής σου ἐστὶ, καὶ ἔστιν αὐτῷ θυγατηρ ὀνόματι Σάῤῥα· λαλήσω περὶ αὐτῆς, τοῦ δοθῆναί σοι αὐτὴν εἰς γυναῖκα,
10The angel said to the young man, Brother, to day we shall lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be given thee for a wife.
11καὶ ὅτι σοι ἐπιβάλλει ἡ κληρονομία αὐτῆς, καὶ σὺ μόνος εἶ ἐκ τοῦ γένους αὐτῆς·
11For to thee doth the right of her appertain, seeing thou only art of her kindred.
12Καὶ τὸ κοράσιον καλὸν καὶ φρόνιμόν ἐστι· καὶ νῦν ἄκουσόν μου, καὶ λαλήσω τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῆς, καὶ ὅταν ὑποστρέψομεν ἐκ Ῥαγῶν, ποιήσομεν τὸν γάμον· διότι ἐπίσταμαι Ῥαγουὴλ ὅτι οὐ μὴ δῷ αὐτὴν ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ κατὰ τὸν νόμον Μωυσῇ, ἢ ὀφειλήσει θάνατον, ὅτι τὴν κληρονομίαν σοι καθήκει λαβεῖν, ἢ πάντα ἄνθρωπον.
12And the maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will speak to her father; and when we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather appertain to thee than to any other.
13Τότε εἶπε τὸ παιδάριον τῷ ἀγγέλῳ, Ἀζαρία ἀδελφὲ, ἀκήκοα ἐγὼ τὸ κοράσιον δεδόσθαι ἑπτὰ ἀνδράσι, καὶ πάντας ἐν τῷ νυμφῶνι ἀπολωλότας·
13Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, brother Azarias that this maid hath been given to seven men, who all died in the marriage chamber.
14καὶ νῦν ἐγὼ μόνος εἰμὶ τῷ πατρὶ, καὶ φοβοῦμαι μὴ εἰσελθὼν ἀποθάνω καθὼς καὶ οἱ πρότεροι, ὅτι δαιμόνιον φιλεῖ αὐτὴν, ὃ οὐκ ἀδικεῖ οὐδένα πλὴν τῶν προσαγόντων αὐτῇ· καὶ νῦν ἐγὼ φοβοῦμαι μὴ ἀποθάνω, καὶ κατάξω τὴν ζωὴν τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ τῆς μητρός μου μετʼ ὀδύνης ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ εἰς τὸν τάφον αὐτῶν, καὶ υἱὸς ἕτερος οὐκ ὑπάρχει αὐτοῖς ὃς θάψει αὐτούς.
14And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before: for a wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no body, but those which come unto her; wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father’s and my mother’s life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for they have no other son to bury them.
15Εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος, οὐ μέμνησαι τῶν λόγων ὧν ἐνετείλατό σοι ὁ πατήρ σου, ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαβεῖν σε γυναῖκα ἐκ τοῦ γένους σου; καὶ νῦν ἄκουσόν μου, ἀδελφὲ, διότι σοι ἔσται εἰς γυναῖκα, καὶ τοῦ δαιμονίου μηδένα λόγον ἔχε, ὅτι τὴν νύκτα ταύτην δοθήσεταί σοι αὕτη εἰς γυναῖκα.
15Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.
16Καὶ ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃς εἰς τὸν νυμφῶνα, λήψῃ τέφραν θυμιαμάτων,
16And when thou shalt come into the marriage chamber, thou shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay upon them some of the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke with it:
17καὶ καπνίσεις, καὶ ὀσφρανθήσεται τὸ δαιμόνιον, καὶ φεύξεται, καὶ οὐκ ἐπανελεύσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος. ὅταν δὲ προσπορεύῃ αὐτῇ, ἐγέρθητε ἀμφότεροι, καὶ βοήσατε πρὸς τὸν ἐλεήμονα Θεὸν, καὶ σώσει ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἐλεήσει· μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι σοὶ αὕτη ἡτοιμασμένη ἦν ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ σὺ αὐτὴν σώσεις, καὶ πορεύσεται μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ ὑπολαμβάνω ὅτι σοὶ ἔσται ἐξ αὐτῆς παιδία· καὶ ὡς ἤκουσε Τωβίας ταῦτα, ἐφίλησεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐκολλήθη σφόδρα αὐτῇ· καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Ἐκβάτανα.
17And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually joined to her.
