1 καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἐκβάτανα καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Ραγουηλ Σαρρα δὲ ὑπήντησεν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐχαιρέτισεν αὐτοὺς καὶ αὐτοὶ αὐτήν καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν 2 καὶ εἶπεν Ραγουηλ Εδνα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ ὡς ὅμοιος ὁ νεανίσκος Τωβιτ τῷ ἀνεψιῷ μου 3 καὶ ἠρώτησεν αὐτοὺς Ραγουηλ πόθεν ἐστέ ἀδελφοί καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Νεφθαλι τῶν αἰχμαλώτων ἐν Νινευη 4 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς γινώσκετε Τωβιτ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν οἱ δὲ εἶπαν γινώσκομεν 5 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὑγιαίνει οἱ δὲ εἶπαν καὶ ζῇ καὶ ὑγιαίνει καὶ εἶπεν Τωβιας πατήρ μού ἐστιν 6 καὶ ἀνεπήδησεν Ραγουηλ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔκλαυσε καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ τοῦ καλοῦ καὶ ἀγαθοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ ἀκούσας ὅτι Τωβιτ ἀπώλεσεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐλυπήθη καὶ ἔκλαυσεν 7 καὶ Εδνα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ Σαρρα ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτοῦ ἔκλαυσαν καὶ ὑπεδέξαντο αὐτοὺς προθύμως 8 καὶ ἔθυσαν κριὸν προβάτων καὶ παρέθηκαν ὄψα πλείονα | 1 To Raguel, then, they went, and right gladly he welcomed them; 2 he no sooner caught sight of Tobias than he said to his wife Anna,[1] Here is a young man has the very look of my cousin Tobias! 3 Then he asked them, Whence come you, fellow-countrymen? 4 And, upon hearing that they were of Nephthali’s tribe, exiles dwelling at Nineve, 5 Do you know my cousin, Tobias? Yes, they said, we know him well. 6 With that, Raguel fell to singing his cousin’s praises, but the angel cut him short: Thou dost well to ask about Tobias; this is his son. 7 Thereupon Raguel threw his arms about him, and wept, and kissed him, and wept again; A blessing on thee, my son, cried he; ‘tis a good man, a good excellent man, thou hast for thy father! 8 And there stood his wife Anna, and their daughter Sara, in tears like himself. | 1 Ingressi sunt autem ad Raguelem, et suscepit eos Raguel cum gaudio. 2 Intuensque Tobiam Raguel, dixit Annæ uxori suæ: Quam similis est juvenis iste consobrino meo! 3 Et cum hæc dixisset, ait: Unde estis juvenes fratres nostri? At illi dixerunt: Ex tribu Nephthali sumus, ex captivitate Ninive. 4 Dixitque illis Raguel: Nostis Tobiam fratrem meum? Qui dixerunt: Novimus. 5 Cumque multa bona loqueretur de eo, dixit angelus ad Raguelem: Tobias, de quo interrogas, pater istius est. 6 Et misit se Raguel, et cum lacrimis osculatus est eum, et plorans supra collum ejus 7 dixit: Benedictio sit tibi, fili mi, quia boni et optimi viri filius es. 8 Et Anna uxor ejus, et Sara ipsorum filia, lacrimatæ sunt. |
9 εἶπεν δὲ Τωβιας τῷ Ραφαηλ Αζαρια ἄδελφε λάλησον ὑπὲρ ὧν ἔλεγες ἐν τῇ πορείᾳ καὶ τελεσθήτω τὸ πρᾶγμα 10 καὶ μετέδωκεν τὸν λόγον τῷ Ραγουηλ καὶ εἶπεν Ραγουηλ πρὸς Τωβιαν φάγε καὶ πίε καὶ ἡδέως γίνου σοὶ γὰρ καθήκει τὸ παιδίον μου λαβεῖν πλὴν ὑποδείξω σοι τὴν ἀλήθειαν 11 ἔδωκα τὸ παιδίον μου ἑπτὰ ἀνδράσιν καὶ ὁπότε ἐὰν εἰσεπορεύοντο πρὸς αὐτήν ἀπεθνῄσκοσαν ὑπὸ τὴν νύκτα ἀλλὰ τὸ νῦν ἔχων ἡδέως γίνου 12 καὶ εἶπεν Τωβιας οὐ γεύσομαι οὐδὲν ὧδε ἕως ἂν στήσητε καὶ σταθῆτε πρός με καὶ εἶπεν Ραγουηλ κομίζου αὐτὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν σὺ δὲ ἀδελφὸς εἶ αὐτῆς καὶ αὐτή σού ἐστιν ὁ δὲ ἐλεήμων θεὸς εὐοδώσει ὑμῖν τὰ κάλλιστα 13 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Σαρραν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ λαβὼν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς παρέδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ Τωβια γυναῖκα καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ κατὰ τὸν νόμον Μωυσέως κομίζου αὐτὴν καὶ ἄπαγε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς 14 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Εδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ λαβὼν βιβλίον ἔγραψεν συγγραφήν καὶ ἐσφραγίσαντο καὶ ἤρξαντο ἐσθίειν 15 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ραγουηλ Εδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἀδελφή ἑτοίμασον τὸ ἕτερον ταμίειον καὶ εἰσάγαγε αὐτήν | 9 When they had spent some time in talk, Raguel would have a ram killed, and a feast made. But it was in vain he urged them to fall to; 10 Neither eat nor drink will I in this house, Tobias said, until thou dost grant a request of mine. And my request is for the hand of thy daughter Sara in marriage. 11 Upon hearing this, Raguel was much taken aback; he had not forgotten what befell those other seven men that went near her bed; and the fear assailed him, What if this one fares no better? But while he hummed and hawed over his answer, 12 the angel said, Do not be afraid to give him thy daughter’s hand; for his pious care she was destined, that is why those other wooers could not gain their suit. 13 Why then, answered Raguel, all those prayers and sighs of mine were not wasted; God has granted them audience; 14 and I doubt not his design in bringing you here was to have my daughter matched with one of her own kin, as the law of Moses bade. Then he said to Tobias, Have no fear, she is thine. 15 And so, taking his daughter’s right hand and putting it into the right hand of Tobias, he gave them his blessing: May the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob be with you and himself join you in one, and fulfil his merciful purpose in you. | 9 Postquam autem locuti sunt, præcepit Raguel occidi arietem, et parari convivium. Cumque hortaretur eos discumbere ad prandium, 10 Tobias dixit: Hic ego hodie non manducabo neque bibam, nisi prius petitionem meam confirmes, et promittas mihi dare Saram filiam tuam. 11 Quo audito verbo Raguel expavit, sciens quid evenerit illis septem viris qui ingressi sunt ad eam: et timere cœpit ne forte et hunc similiter contingeret. Et cum nutaret, et non daret petenti ullum responsum, 12 dixit ei angelus: Noli timere dare eam isti, quoniam huic timenti Deum debetur conjux filia tua: propterea alius non potuit habere illam. 13 Tunc dixit Raguel: Non dubito quod Deus preces et lacrimas meas in conspectu suo admiserit. 14 Et credo quoniam ideo fecit vos venire ad me, ut ista conjungeretur cognationi suæ secundum legem Moysi: et nunc noli dubium gerere quod tibi eam tradam. 15 Et apprehendens dexteram filiæ suæ, dexteræ Tobiæ tradidit, dicens: Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob vobiscum sit, et ipse conjungat vos, impleatque benedictionem suam in vobis. |
16 καὶ ἐποίησεν ὡς εἶπεν καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὴν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν καὶ ἀπεδέξατο τὰ δάκρυα τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ 17 θάρσει τέκνον ὁ κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς δῴη σοι χάριν ἀντὶ τῆς λύπης σου ταύτης θάρσει θύγατερ 18 19 20 | 16 So they took paper, and signed a contract of marriage; 17 then they sat down to their feasting, and gave thanks to God. 18 Meanwhile Raguel called Anna aside, and bade her have a fresh room in readiness. 19 Into this she brought her daughter Sara, weeping as she did so; 20 then she said, Do not lose heart, daughter; thou hast had sadness enough; may the Lord of heaven give thee gladness in exchange.[2] | 16 Et accepta carta, fecerunt conscriptionem conjugii. 17 Et post hæc epulati sunt, benedicentes Deum. 18 Vocavitque Raguel ad se Annam uxorem suam, et præcepit ei ut præpararet alterum cubiculum. 19 Et introduxit illuc Saram filiam suam, et lacrimata est. 20 Dixitque ei: Forti animo esto, filia mea: Dominus cæli det tibi gaudium pro tædio quod perpessa es. |
[1] This seems to be a mistake in the Latin; the other version call Raguel’s wife Edna.
[2] The correspondence between the various versions is fairly close in this chapter, but the Vulgate is not a direct translation from any of the others.
