1 καὶ ἐπορεύετο μέχρις οὗ ἐγγίσαι αὐτοὺς εἰς Νινευη 2 καὶ εἶπεν Ραφαηλ πρὸς Τωβιαν οὐ γινώσκεις ἄδελφε πῶς ἀφῆκας τὸν πατέρα σου 3 προδράμωμεν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς γυναικός σου καὶ ἑτοιμάσωμεν τὴν οἰκίαν 4 λαβὲ δὲ παρὰ χεῖρα τὴν χολὴν τοῦ ἰχθύος καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ συνῆλθεν ὁ κύων ὄπισθεν αὐτῶν | 1 On the eleventh day of their homeward journey, they halted in the middle of it at a place that looks out towards Nineve (called Charan).[1] 2 And here the angel said, Friend Tobias, remember how eagerly thy father awaits thee. 3 How sayest thou? Should not we two hurry on together, and leave thy wife to follow at leisure with the servants and the beasts? 4 When this was agreed upon, he bade Tobias take some of the fish’s gall with him, for he would need it; take it he did, and they set out together. | 1 Cumque reverterentur, pervenerunt ad Charan, quæ est in medio itinere contra Niniven, undecimo die. 2 Dixitque angelus: Tobia frater, scis quemadmodum reliquisti patrem tuum. 3 Si placet itaque tibi, præcedamus, et lento gradu sequantur iter nostrum familiæ, simul cum conjuge tua, et cum animalibus. 4 Cumque hoc placuisset ut irent, dixit Raphaël ad Tobiam: Tolle tecum ex felle piscis: erit enim necessarium. Tulit itaque Tobias ex felle illo, et abierunt. |
5 καὶ Αννα ἐκάθητο περιβλεπομένη εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν τὸν παῖδα αὐτῆς 6 καὶ προσενόησεν αὐτὸν ἐρχόμενον καὶ εἶπεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός σου ἔρχεται καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ πορευθεὶς με{T'} αὐτοῦ | 5 There sat Anna, where she sat every day, on the brow of the hill, whence she could scan the country far and wide. 6 From that seat of hers she saw them coming, a long distance away, and knew at once it was her son that came. Back home she ran, and told her husband, Thy son! He is coming! | 5 Anna autem sedebat secus viam quotidie in supercilio montis, unde respicere poterat de longinquo. 6 Et dum ex eodem loco specularetur adventum ejus, vidit a longe, et illico agnovit venientem filium suum: currensque nuntiavit viro suo, dicens: Ecce venit filius tuus. |
7 καὶ Ραφαηλ εἶπεν ἐπίσταμαι ἐγὼ ὅτι ἀνοίξει τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὁ πατήρ σου 8 σὺ οὖν ἔγχρισον τὴν χολὴν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ δηχθεὶς διατρίψει καὶ ἀποβαλεῖ τὰ λευκώματα καὶ ὄψεταί σε | 7 Thy home once reached, Raphael said to Tobias, pay worship to the Lord thy God first, and return thanks to him. Then go up to thy father, and embrace him, 8 and rub on his eyes, without more ado, some of the fish’s gall thou hast with thee. I promise thee it will not be long before his eyes are opened; once more he will look on the light of day, and have a father’s joy at the sight of thee. | 7 Dixitque Raphaël ad Tobiam: At ubi introieris domum tuam, statim adora Dominum Deum tuum: et gratias agens ei, accede ad patrem tuum, et osculare eum. 8 Statimque lini super oculos ejus ex felle isto piscis, quod portas tecum: scias enim quoniam mox aperientur oculi ejus, et videbit pater tuus lumen cæli, et in aspectu tuo gaudebit. |
9 καὶ προσδραμοῦσα Αννα ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ εἶδόν σε παιδίον ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἀποθανοῦμαι καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἀμφότεροι 10 καὶ Τωβιτ ἐξήρχετο πρὸς τὴν θύραν καὶ προσέκοπτεν ὁ δὲ υἱὸς προσέδραμεν αὐτῷ 11 καὶ ἐπελάβετο τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ προσέπασεν τὴν χολὴν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ λέγων θάρσει πάτερ 12 ὡς δὲ συνεδήχθησαν διέτριψε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ | 9 Yet he was not to reach the house first. The dog that had accompanied him on his travels ran on before him, heralding the good news with the caress of his wagging tail. 10 Up sprang the father, blind though he were, and made for the door, running and stumbling as he ran. A servant must take him by the hand before he could go out to meet his son; 11 but meet him he did, embraced and kissed him, and his wife too must embrace the boy and kiss him, and then they both wept over him; but they were tears of joy. 12 So they paid God worship, and gave him thanks, and sat down together. | 9 Tunc præcucurrit canis, qui simul fuerat in via: et quasi nuntius adveniens, blandimento suæ caudæ gaudebat. 10 Et consurgens cæcus pater ejus, cœpit offendens pedibus currere: et data manu puero, occurrit obviam filio suo. 11 Et suscipiens osculatus est eum cum uxore sua, et cœperunt ambo flere præ gaudio. 12 Cumque adorassent Deum, et gratias egissent, consederunt. |
13 καὶ ἐλεπίσθη ἀπὸ τῶν κανθῶν τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ λευκώματα καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ 14 καὶ ἔκλαυσεν καὶ εἶπεν εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὁ θεός καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας καὶ εὐλογημένοι πάντες οἱ ἅγιοί σου ἄγγελοι 15 ὅτι ἐμαστίγωσας καὶ ἠλέησάς με ἰδοὺ βλέπω Τωβιαν τὸν υἱόν μου καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ μεγαλεῖα τὰ γενόμενα αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ Μηδίᾳ 16 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Τωβιτ εἰς συνάντησιν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν θεὸν πρὸς τῇ πύλῃ Νινευη καὶ ἐθαύμαζον οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν πορευόμενον ὅτι ἔβλεψεν 17 καὶ Τωβιτ ἐξωμολογεῖτο ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὅτι ἠλέησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός καὶ ὡς ἤγγισεν Τωβιτ Σαρρα τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ κατευλόγησεν αὐτὴν λέγων ἔλθοις ὑγιαίνουσα θύγατερ εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεός ὃς ἤγαγέν σε πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ ἐγένετο χαρὰ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν Νινευη ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ | 13 Then it was that Tobias took out the fish’s gall, and rubbed it on his father’s eyes. 14 He waited, maybe, for half an hour, and then a white film, like the white of an egg, began to separate itself from the eyes; 15 he took hold of this and pulled it away, and immediately his father’s sight was restored. 16 How they praised God, he and his wife and all who knew them! 17 I thank thee, Lord God of Israel, the old man cried; from thee my chastisement, from thee my deliverance came; I thank thee for eyes that see, and eyes that see Tobias, my son! | 13 Tunc sumens Tobias de felle piscis, linivit oculos patris sui. 14 Et sustinuit quasi dimidiam fere horam: et cœpit albugo ex oculis ejus, quasi membrana ovi, egredi. 15 Quam apprehendens Tobias, traxit ab oculis ejus: statimque visum recepit. 16 Et glorificabant Deum, ipse videlicet et uxor ejus, et omnes qui sciebant eum. 17 Dicebatque Tobias: Benedico te, Domine Deus Israël, quia tu castigasti me, et tu salvasti me: et ecce ego video Tobiam filium meum. |
18 καὶ παρεγένετο Αχιαχαρος καὶ Νασβας ὁ ἐξάδελφος αὐτοῦ 19 καὶ ἤχθη ὁ γάμος Τωβια με{T'} εὐφροσύνης ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας 20 21 | 18 It was a week before his daughter-in-law Sara reached Nineve, with all her retinue safe and sound; the farm stock, too, she brought with her, and the camels, and all the money she was dowered with, besides the sum paid over by Gabelus. 19 Meanwhile, her husband told his parents the whole story; all the mercies God had shewn him through the man that was his guide. 20 Tobias’ cousins, Achior and Nabath, came with glad hearts to congratulate him over the blessings he had received; 21 and for a whole week they all kept high festival, and rejoiced together. | 18 Ingressa est etiam post septem dies Sara uxor filii ejus et omnis familia sana, et pecora, et cameli, et pecunia multa uxoris; sed et illa pecunia, quam receperat a Gabelo. 19 Et narravit parentibus suis omnia beneficia Dei, quæ fecisset circa eum per hominem qui eum duxerat. 20 Veneruntque Achior et Nabath consobrini Tobiæ gaudentes ad Tobiam, et congratulantes ei de omnibus bonis quæ circa illum ostenderat Deus. 21 Et per septem dies epulantes, omnes cum gaudio magno gavisi sunt. |
[1] The name of the place reached by the travellers is variously given in the different versions. If it was really Charan, it must have been quite different from the well-known city of that name, which stood miles away to the west.
