| 1 καὶ ἐπορεύετο μέχρις οὗ ἐγγίσαι αὐτοὺς εἰς Νινευή. καὶ εἶπεν Ῥαφαὴλ πρὸς Τωβίαν | 1 καὶ ὡς ἤγγισαν εἰς Κασερὶν ἥ ἐστιν κατέναντι Νινευῇ |
| 1 And went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve. Then Raphaēl said to Tōbias, | When they came near to Kaserein, which is opposite Nineve, |
| 2 οὐ γινώσκεις, ἄδελφε, πῶς ἀφῆκας τὸν πατέρα σου; | εἶπεν Ῥαφαὴλ |
| 2 You know, brother, how you left your father: | Raphaēl said, “You know how we left your father. |
| 3 προδράμωμεν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς γυναικός σου καὶ ἑτοιμάσωμεν τὴν οἰκίαν· | 3 προδράμωμεν τῆς γυναικός σου καὶ ἑτοιμάσωμεν τὴν οἰκίαν ἐν ᾧ ἔρχονται |
| 3 Let us haste before your wife, and prepare the house. | Let us run on ahead of your wife and prepare the house while they are on the way.” |
| 4 λαβὲ δὲ παρὰ χεῖρα τὴν χολὴν τοῦ ἰχθύος. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν, καὶ συνῆλθεν ὁ κύων ὄπισθεν αὐτῶν. | 4 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀμφότεροι κοινῶς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ λαβὲ μετὰ χεῖρας τὴν χολήν καὶ συνῆλθεν αὐτοῖς ὁ κύων ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ Τωβία |
| 4 And take in your hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them. | So the two of them went together, and he said to him, “Take the gall with your hands.” And the dog came along behind him and Tobia. |
| 5 καὶ Ἀννὰ ἐκάθητο περιβλεπομένη εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν τὸν παῖδα αὐτῆς· | 5 καὶ Ἀννὰ ἐκάθητο περιβλεπομένη τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς |
| 5 Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son. | Now Hanna sat looking intently at the road for her son. |
| 6 καὶ προσενόησεν αὐτὸν ἐρχόμενον καὶ εἶπεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός σου ἔρχεται καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ πορευθεὶς μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ. | 6 καὶ προσενόησεν αὐτὸν ἐρχόμενον καὶ εἶπεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός σου ἔρχεται καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ πορευθεὶς μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ |
| 6 And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, your son cometh, and the man that went with him. | And she caught sight of him coming, and she said to his father, “Behold, your son is coming, and the man who went with him!” |
| 7 καὶ Ῥαφαὴλ εἶπεν ἐπίσταμαι ἐγὼ ὅτι ἀνοίξει τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὁ πατήρ σου· | 7 καὶ Ῥαφαὴλ εἶπεν Τωβία πρὸ τοῦ ἐγγίσαι αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα ἐπίσταμαι ὅτι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀνεῳχθήσονται |
| 7 Then said Raphaēl, I know, Tōbias, that your father will open his eyes. | Then Raphaēl said to Tōbias, before he had approached his father, “I know that his eyes will be opened. |
| 8 σὺ οὖν ἔγχρισον τὴν χολὴν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ δηχθεὶς διατρίψει καὶ ἀποβαλεῖ τὰ λευκώματα καὶ ὄψεταί σε. | 8 ἔμπλασον[1] τὴν χολὴν τοῦ ἰχθύος εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀποστύψει τὸ φάρμακον καὶ ἀπολεπίσει τὰ λευκώματα ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναβλέψει ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ ὄψεται τὸ φῶς |
| 8 Therefore anoint you his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see you. | Sprinkle the gall of the fish on his eyes, and the medicine will make the white films contract and peel off from his eyes, and your father will look up and see the light.” |
| 9 καὶ προσδραμοῦσα Ἀννὰ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ εἶδόν σε, παιδίον, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἀποθανοῦμαι. καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἀμφότεροι. | 9 καὶ ἀνέδραμεν Ἀννὰ καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ εἶδόν σὲ παιδίον ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἀποθανοῦμαι καὶ ἔκλαυσεν |
| 9 Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen you, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both. | Then Hanna ran up and fell on the neck of her son and said to him, “I see you, my child; from now on I am ready to die.” And she wept. |
| 10 καὶ Τωβὶτ ἐξήρχετο πρὸς τὴν θύραν καὶ προσέκοπτεν, ὁ δὲ υἱὸς προσέδραμεν αὐτῷ | 10 καὶ ἀνέστη Τωβὶς καὶ προσέκοπτεν τοῖς ποσὶν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν τὴν θύραν τῆς αὐλῆς |
| 10 Tōbit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him, | Then Tobis got up and stumbled on his feet and went out the door of the courtyard. |
| 11 καὶ ἐπελάβετο τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ προσέπασεν τὴν χολὴν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ λέγων θάρσει, πάτερ. | 11 καὶ ἐβάδισεν Τωβίας πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ ἡ χολὴ τοῦ ἰχθύος ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνεφύσησεν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλάβετο αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν θάρσει πάτερ καὶ ἐπέβαλεν τὸ φάρμακον ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπέδωκεν |
| 11 And took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his fathers’ eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father. | And Tōbias went up to him. Now the gall of the fish was in his hand, and he blew into his eyes and held him and said, “Take courage, father.” Then he lay the medicine on him, and it worked. |
| 12 ὡς δὲ συνεδήχθησαν, διέτριψε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλεπίσθη ἀπὸ τῶν κανθῶν τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ λευκώματα. | 12 καὶ ἀπελέπισεν ἑκατέραις ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν κανθῶν τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ |
| 12 And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them; | And he scaled it off with both his hands from the corners of his eyes. |
| 13 καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν καὶ εἶπεν | 13 καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ εἶδόν σὲ τέκνον τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου |
| 13 And the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck. | Then he fell on his neck, and he wept and said to him, “I see you, my child, the light of my eyes!” |
| 14 εὐλογητὸς εἶ, ὁ θεός, καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ εὐλογημένοι πάντες οἱ ἅγιοί σου ἄγγελοι· ὅτι ἐμαστίγωσας καὶ ἠλέησάς με, ἰδοὺ βλέπω Τωβίαν τὸν υἱόν μου. | 14 καὶ εἶπεν εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεός καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομα τὸ μέγα αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐλογημένοι πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι οἱ ἅγιοι αὐτοῦ γένοιτο τὸ ὄνομα τὸ μέγα αὐτοῦ ἐφ᾿ ἡμᾶς καὶ εὐλογητοὶ πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐμαστίγωσέν με καὶ ἰδοὺ βλέπω Τωβίαν τὸν υἱόν μου |
| 14 And he wept, and said, Blessed art you, O God, and blessed is your name for ever; and blessed are all your holy angels: | Then he said, “Blessed be God, and blessed be his great name, and blessed be all his holy angels. May his great name be upon us, and may all the angels be blessed throughout all the ages. For he afflicted me, but behold, I see Tōbias my son!” |
| 15 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ μεγαλεῖα τὰ γενόμενα αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ Μηδίᾳ. | 15 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Τωβίας χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν θεὸν ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέδειξεν Τωβίας τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι εὐοδώθη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅτι ἐνήνοχεν ἀργύριον καὶ ὡς ἔλαβεν Σάρραν τὴν θυγατέρα Ῥαγουὴλ γυναῖκα καὶ ὅτι ἰδοὺ παραγίνεται καὶ ἔστιν σύνεγγυς τῆς πύλης Νινευὴ |
| 15 For you have scourged, and have taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tōbias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Mēdia. | And Tōbias went in rejoicing and blessing God with full voice. Then Tōbias told his father that his journey had been successful and that he had brought the silver and that he had taken Sarra daughter of Ragouēl as wife and that behold, she is arriving and is near the gate of Nineve. |
| 16 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Τωβὶτ εἰς συνάντησιν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν θεὸν πρὸς τῇ πύλῃ Νινευή· καὶ ἐθαύμαζον οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν πορευόμενον ὅτι ἔβλεψεν, καὶ Τωβὶτ ἐξωμολογεῖτο ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὅτι ἠλέησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός. | 16 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Τωβὶθ εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῆς νύμφης αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν θεὸν πρὸς τὴν πύλην Νινευὴ καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν οἱ ἐν Νινευῇ πορευόμενον καὶ διαβαίνοντα αὐτὸν πάσῃ τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑπὸ μηδενὸς χειραγωγούμενον ἐθαύμασαν καὶ Τωβὶθ ἐξωμολογεῖτο ἐναντίον αὐτῶν ὅτι ἠλέησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεὸς καὶ ὅτι ἤνοιξεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ |
| 16 Then Tōbit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight. | Then Tōbith went out to the gate of Nineve to meet his daughter-in-law, rejoicing and blessing God. Now the people of Nineve, seeing him walking and moving along in all his strength and with no one leading him, were amazed. And Tōbith acknowledged before them that God had been merciful to him and that he had opened his eyes. |
| 17 καὶ ὡς ἤγγισεν Τωβὶτ Σάρρα τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ κατευλόγησεν αὐτὴν λέγων ἔλθοις ὑγιαίνουσα, θύγατερ· εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεός, ὃς ἤγαγέν σὲ πρὸς ἡμᾶς, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ σου. | 17 καὶ ἤγγισεν Τωβὶθ Σάρρα τῇ γυναικὶ Τωβία τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ εἰσέλθοις ὑγιαίνουσα θύγατερ καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεός σου ὃς ἤγαγέν σὲ πρὸς ἡμᾶς θύγατερ καὶ εὐλογημένος ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ εὐλογημένος Τωβίας ὁ υἱός μου καὶ εὐλογημένη σύ θύγατερ εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν σου ὑγιαίνουσα ἐν εὐλογίᾳ καὶ χαρᾷ εἴσελθε θύγατερ |
| 17 But Tōbias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sarra his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought you unto us, and blessed be your father and your mother. And there was joy among all his brothers which were at Nineve. | Then Tōbith approached Sarra, the wife of Tōbias his son, and he blessed her and said to her, “Come in, in good health, daughter, and blessed be your God, who has brought you to us, daughter. And blessed be your father and your mother, and blessed be Tōbias my son, and blessed be you, daughter. Come into your house in good health, with blessing and joy. Come in, daughter.” |
| 18 καὶ ἐγένετο χαρὰ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν Νινευῇ ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ. | 18 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ ἐγένετο χαρὰ πᾶσιν τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις τοῖς οὖσιν ἐν Νινευῇ |
| 18 And Achicharos, and Nasbas his brother’s son, came: | On that day there was joy among all the Judeans who were in Nineve. |
| 19 καὶ παρεγένετο Ἀχιάχαρος καὶ Νασβὰς ὁ ἐξάδελφος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤχθη ὁ γάμος Τωβία μετ᾿ εὐφροσύνης ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας. | 19 καὶ παρεγένοντο Ἀχικὰρ καὶ Ναβὰδ οἱ ἐξάδελφοι αὐτοῦ χαίροντες πρὸς Τωβὶν |
| 19 And Tōbias’ wedding was kept seven days with great joy. | And Achikar and Nabad his nephews came rejoicing to Tobis. |
