1 καὶ Τωβιτ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐλογίζετο ἑκάστης ἡμέρας καὶ ὡς ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς πορείας καὶ οὐκ ἤρχοντο 2 εἶπεν μήποτε κατῄσχυνται ἢ μήποτε ἀπέθανεν Γαβαηλ καὶ οὐδεὶς δίδωσιν αὐτῷ τὸ ἀργύριον 3 καὶ ἐλυπεῖτο λίαν 4 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον διότι κεχρόνικεν καὶ ἤρξατο θρηνεῖν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν 5 οὐ μέλει μοι τέκνον ὅτι ἀφῆκά σε τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου 6 καὶ Τωβιτ λέγει αὐτῇ σίγα μὴ λόγον ἔχε ὑγιαίνει 7 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ σίγα μὴ πλάνα με ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον μου καὶ ἐπορεύετο κα{Q'} ἡμέραν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ἔξω οἵας ἀπῆλθεν ἡμέρας τε ἄρτον οὐκ ἤσθιεν τὰς δὲ νύκτας οὐ διελίμπανεν θρηνοῦσα Τωβιαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς ἕως οὗ συνετελέσθησαν αἱ δέκα τέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου ἃς ὤμοσεν Ραγουηλ ποιῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ εἶπεν δὲ Τωβιας τῷ Ραγουηλ | 1 While the younger Tobias lingered thus over his marriage, his father fell into an extreme of anxiety. What means this long delay on my son’s part? he asked. What has detained him? 2 Can it be that Gabelus is dead, and there is no recovering the debt? 3 Great lament he made, and his wife Anna with him, and fast fell the tears of both, that the appointed day was over and their son not yet returned. 4 The mother’s grief there was no consoling; My son, my son, she cried, why did we ever let thee go on thy travels? The light of our eyes, the support of our old age, our comfort in life, our hope of posterity when we are gone; 5 all this thou wert, and thou alone; how could we let thee leave our sight? 6 All in vain did Tobias try to comfort her, with, Peace, woman; never disquiet thyself; there is nought amiss with our son; it was a trusty companion we sent with him. 7 Comfort she would have none; no day passed but she would rise from her place and view the landscape all about, or roam the streets, hoping she might get some rumour, some distant glimpse of his return. | 1 Cum vero moras faceret Tobias, causa nuptiarum, sollicitus erat pater ejus Tobias, dicens: Putas quare moratur filius meus, aut quare detentus est ibi? 2 Putasne Gabelus mortuus est, et nemo reddet illi pecuniam? 3 Cœpit autem contristari nimis ipse, et Anna uxor ejus cum eo: et cœperunt ambo simul flere, eo quod die statuto minime reverteretur filius eorum ad eos. 4 Flebat igitur mater ejus irremediabilibus lacrimis, atque dicebat: Heu, heu me, fili mi! ut quid te misimus peregrinari, lumen oculorum nostrorum, baculum senectutis nostræ, solatium vitæ nostræ, spem posteritatis nostræ? 5 omnia simul in te uno habentes, te non debuimus dimittere a nobis. 6 Cui dicebat Tobias: Tace, et noli turbari: sanus est filius noster: satis fidelis est vir ille, cum quo misimus eum. 7 Illa autem nullo modo consolari poterat, sed quotidie exiliens circumspiciebat, et circuibat vias omnes per quas spes remeandi videbatur, ut procul videret eum, si fieri posset, venientem. |
8 ἐξαπόστειλόν με ὅτι ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου οὐκέτι ἐλπίζουσιν ὄψεσθαί με 9 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ πενθερὸς αὐτοῦ μεῖνον πα{R'} ἐμοί κἀγὼ ἐξαποστελῶ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ δηλώσουσιν αὐτῷ τὰ κατὰ σέ 10 καὶ Τωβιας λέγει οὐχί ἀλλὰ ἐξαπόστειλόν με πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου 11 ἀναστὰς δὲ Ραγουηλ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Σαρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων σώματα καὶ κτήνη καὶ ἀργύριον 12 καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτοὺς ἐξαπέστειλεν λέγων εὐοδώσει ὑμᾶς τέκνα ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πρὸ τοῦ με ἀποθανεῖν 13 καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ τίμα τοὺς πενθερούς σου αὐτοὶ νῦν γονεῖς σού εἰσιν ἀκούσαιμί σου ἀκοὴν καλήν καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτήν καὶ Εδνα εἶπεν πρὸς Τωβιαν ἄδελφε ἀγαπητέ ἀποκαταστήσαι σε ὁ κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ δῴη μοι ἰδεῖν σου παιδία ἐκ Σαρρας τῆς θυγατρός μου ἵνα εὐφρανθῶ ἐνώπιον τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἰδοὺ παρατίθεμαί σοι τὴν θυγατέρα μου ἐν παρακαταθήκῃ μὴ λυπήσῃς αὐτήν μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο Τωβιας εὐλογῶν τὸν θεόν ὅτι εὐόδωσεν τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ κατευλόγει Ραγουηλ καὶ Εδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ | 8 Meanwhile, Raguel was pressing his son-in-law to stay on; I will send a message to thy father, said he, to assure him of thy safety. 9 But Tobias would have none of it; No question, said he, but my father and mother are counting the days, and tormenting their hearts over me. 10 Still Raguel plied him with entreaties, and still could not win his consent. So at last he gave Sara into Tobias’ keeping, and with her half his goods, men and maid servants, sheep and camels and cows, and of money a great sum, and let him go his way, safe and content. 11 The Lord’s holy angel, said he, go with you on your journey, and bring you home without scathe, to find that all is well, Tobias and Anna both. And may my life be spared to see children born of you. 12 So Raguel and Anna embraced their daughter, and kissed her, and set her on her way, 13 full of good counsel to the last; how she was to give father-in-law and mother-in-law their due, love her husband, be mistress in her own house, order it well, and prove herself the perfection of a woman. | 8 At vero Raguel dicebat ad generum suum: Mane hic, et ego mittam nuntium salutis de te ad Tobiam patrem tuum. 9 Cui Tobias ait: Ego novi quia pater meus et mater mea modo dies computant, et cruciatur spiritus eorum in ipsis. 10 Cumque verbis multis rogaret Raguel Tobiam, et ille eum nulla ratione vellet audire, tradidit ei Saram, et dimidiam partem omnis substantiæ suæ in pueris, in puellis, in pecudibus, in camelis, et in vaccis, et in pecunia multa: et salvum atque gaudentem dimisit eum a se, 11 dicens: Angelus Domini sanctus sit in itinere vestro, perducatque vos incolumes, et inveniatis omnia recte circa parentes vestros, et videant oculi mei filios vestros priusquam moriar. 12 Et apprehendentes parentes filiam suam, osculati sunt eam: et dimiserunt ire, 13 monentes eam honorare soceros, diligere maritum, regere familiam, gubernare domum, et seipsam irreprehensibilem exhibere. |
