| 1 καὶ ἐπαύσατο ἐξομολογούμενος Τωβίτ. | 1 καὶ συνετελέσθησαν οἱ λόγοι τῆς ἐξομολογήσεως Τωβὶθ |
| 1 So Tōbit made an end of praising God. | Then the words of Tōbith's praise were completed. |
| 2 καὶ ἦν ἐτῶν πεντήκοντα ὀκτώ, ὅτε ἀπώλεσεν τὰς ὄψεις, καὶ μετὰ ἔτη ὀκτὼ ἀνέβλεψεν· καὶ ἐποίει ἐλεημοσύνας καὶ προσέθετο φοβεῖσθαι κύριον τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι αὐτῷ. | 2 καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν δώδεκα καὶ ἐτάφη ἐνδόξως ἐν Νινευῇ καὶ ἑξήκοντα δύο ἐτῶν ἦν ὅτε ἐγένετο ἀνάπειρος τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἀναβλέψαι αὐτὸν ἔζησεν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς καὶ ἐλεημοσύνας ἐποίησεν καὶ ἔτι προσέθετο εὐλογεῖν τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τὴν μεγαλωσύνην τοῦ θεοῦ |
| 2 And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him. | And he died in peace at one hundred twelve years, and he was buried with honour in Nineve. Now he was sixty-two years old when he became maimed in his eyes, and after he saw again he lived in prosperity and gave alms. And he still continued to bless God and to acknowledge the majesty of God. |
| 3 μεγάλως δὲ ἐγήρασεν· καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τέκνον, λαβὲ τοὺς υἱούς σου· ἰδοὺ γεγήρακα καὶ πρὸς τὸ ἀποτρέχειν ἐκ τοῦ ζῆν εἰμι. | 3 καὶ ὅτε ἀπέθνῃσκεν ἐκάλεσεν Τωβίαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ λέγων παιδίον ἀπάγαγε τὰ παιδία σου |
| 3 And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take your children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life. | Now when he was about to die, he called Tōbias his son and commanded him, saying: “My child, take your children, |
| 4 ἄπελθε εἰς τὴν Μηδίαν, τέκνον, ὅτι πέπεισμαι ὅσα ἐλάλησεν Ἰωνᾶς ὁ προφήτης περὶ Νινευὴ ὅτι καταστραφήσεται, ἐν δὲ τῇ Μηδίᾳ ἔσται εἰρήνη μᾶλλον ἕως καιροῦ, καὶ ὅτι οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ σκορπισθήσονται ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγαθῆς γῆς, καὶ Ἰεροσόλυμα ἔσται ἔρημος, καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῇ κατακαήσεται καὶ ἔρημος ἔσται μέχρι χρόνου. | 4 καὶ ἀπότρεχε εἰς Μηδίαν ὅτι πιστεύω ἐγὼ τῷ ῥήματι τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ Νινευὴ ἃ ἐλάλησεν Ναοὺμ ὅτι πάντα ἔσται καὶ ἀπαντήσει ἐπὶ Ἀθοὺρ καὶ Νινευὴ καὶ ὅσα ἐλάλησαν οἱ προφῆται τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ οὓς ἀπέστειλεν ὁ θεός πάντα ἀπαντήσει καὶ οὐ μηθὲν ἐλαττονωθῇ ἐκ πάντων τῶν ῥημάτων καὶ πάντα συμβήσεται τοῖς καιροῖς αὐτῶν καὶ ἐν τῇ Μηδίᾳ ἔσται σωτηρίᾳ μᾶλλον ἤπερ ἐν Ἀσσυρίοις καὶ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι διὸ γινώσκω ἐγὼ καὶ πιστεύω ὅτι πάντα ἃ εἶπεν ὁ θεός συντελεσθήσεται καὶ ἔσται καὶ οὐ μὴ διαπέσῃ ῥῆμα ἐκ τῶν λόγων καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῇ γῇ Ἰσραὴλ πάντες διασκορπισθήσονται καὶ αἰχμαλωτισθήσονται ἐκ τῆς γῆς τῆς ἀγαθῆς καὶ ἔσται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἔρημος καὶ Σαμάρεια καὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔσται ἔρημος καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν λύπῃ καὶ καυθήσεται μέχρι χρόνου |
| 4 Go into Mēdia my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Mēdia; and that our brothers shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time; | and hurry off into Mēdia, for I believe the word of God about Nineve, the things Naoum spoke, that all these things will come about and happen to Athour and Nineve. Also everything that the prophets of Israēl spoke, those whom God sent, will happen. And not one of all their words will fail, but all will come true at their appointed times. So in Mēdia there will be safety rather than among the Assyrians or in Babylon. For I know and believe that all things that God said will be fulfilled and will come to pass, and no utterance of his words shall fail. And our kindred, who live in the land of Israēl, all will be scattered and taken as captives from the good land, and the whole land of Israēl will be desolate, even Samaria and Jerousalem will be desolate. And the house of God will be in grief and will be burned down for a time. |
| 5 καὶ πάλιν ἐλεήσει αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν τὸν οἶκον, οὐχ οἷος ὁ πρότερος, ἕως πληρωθῶσιν καιροὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος. καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἐκ τῶν αἰχμαλωσιῶν καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐντίμως, καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῇ οἰκοδομηθήσεται εἰς πάσας τὰς γενεὰς τοῦ αἰῶνος οἰκοδομῇ ἐνδόξῳ, καθὼς ἐλάλησαν περὶ αὐτῆς οἱ προφῆται. | 5 καὶ πάλιν ἐλεήσει αὐτοὺς ὁ θεός καὶ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ καὶ πάλιν οἰκοδομήσουσιν τὸν οἶκον καὶ οὐχ ὡς τὸν πρῶτον ἕως τοῦ χρόνου οὗ ἄν πληρωθῇ ὁ χρόνος τῶν καιρῶν καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας αὐτῶν πάντες καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐντίμως καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῇ οἰκοδομηθήσεται καθὼς ἐλάλησαν περὶ αὐτῆς οἱ προφῆται τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ |
| 5 And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof. | “But again God will have mercy on them, and God will bring them back into the land of Israēl, and again they will build the house, but not like the first one, until the time when the time of the appointed times will be completed. Then after this they all will return from their captivity, and they will build Jerousalem honourably. And the house of God will be built in it, just as the prophets of Israēl said concerning it. |
| 6 καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἀληθινῶς φοβεῖσθαι κύριον τὸν θεὸν καὶ κατορύξουσιν τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτῶν, καὶ εὐλογήσουσιν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὸν κύριον. | 6 καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ γῇ πάντες ἐπιστρέψουσιν καὶ φοβηθήσονται τὸν θεὸν ἀληθινῶς καὶ ἀφήσουσιν πάντες τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτῶν τοὺς πλανῶντας ψευδῆ τὴν πλάνησιν αὐτῶν καὶ εὐλογήσουσιν τὸν θεὸν τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ |
| 6 And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God truly, and shall bury their idols. | Then all the nations in the whole world will turn back and truly fear God. And all will abandon their idols, which deceitfully have made them err in their error. And they will bless the God of the ages in righteousness. |
| 7 καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐξομολογήσεται τῷ θεῷ, καὶ ὑψώσει κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ χαρήσονται πάντες οἱ ἀγαπῶντες κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ, ποιοῦντες ἔλεος τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ἡμῶν. | 7 πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ οἱ σῳζόμενοι ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις μνημονεύοντες τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐπισυναχθήσονται καὶ ἥξουσιν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ οἰκήσουσιν τὸν αἰῶνα ἐν τῇ γῇ Ἁβραὰμ μετὰ ἀσφαλείας καὶ παραδοθήσεται αὐτοῖς καὶ χαρήσονται οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸν θεὸν ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας καὶ οἱ ποιοῦντες τὴν ἁμαρτίαν καὶ τὴν ἀδικίαν ἐκλείψουσιν ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς |
| 7 So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brothers. | All the sons of Israēl who are saved in those days, mindful of God in truth, will be gathered together. And they will go into Jerousalem and live forever in the land of Abraam with security, and it will be given over to them. And those who love God in truth will rejoice, but those who commit sin and injustice will vanish from all the earth. |
| 8 καὶ νῦν, τέκνον, ἄπελθε ἀπὸ Νινευή, ὅτι πάντως ἔσται ἃ ἐλάλησεν ὁ προφήτης Ἰωνᾶς. 9 σὺ δὲ τήρησον τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰ προστάγματα καὶ γίνου φιλελεήμων καὶ δίκαιος, ἵνα σοὶ καλῶς ᾖ, καὶ θάψον με καλῶς καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ· καὶ μηκέτι αὐλισθῆτε εἰς Νινευή. | 8-9 καὶ νῦν παιδία ἐγὼ ὑμῖν ἐντέλλομαι δουλεύσατε τῷ θεῷ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ποιήσατε τὸ ἀρεστὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς παιδίοις ὑμῶν ἐνυποταγήσεται ποιεῖν δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ ἵνα ὦσιν μεμνημένοι τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εὐλογῶσιν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ὅλῃ τῇ ἰσχύϊ αὐτῶν καὶ νῦν σύ παιδίον ἔξελθε ἐκ Νινευὴ καὶ μὴ μείνῃς ὧδε ἐν ᾗ ἄν ἡμέρᾳ θάψῃς τὴν μητέρα σου μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ μὴ αὐλισθῇς ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῆς ὁρῶ γὰρ ὅτι πολλὴ ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ δόλος πολὺς συντελεῖται ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ οὐκ αἰσχύνονται |
| 8 And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass. 9 But keep you the law and the commandments, and shew yourself merciful and just, that it may go well with you. | “So now, my children, I command you, serve God in truth, and do what is pleasing before him. Also your children are to be commanded to practice righteousness and almsgiving and to be mindful of God and bless his name at every moment in truth and with all their strength. “So now, my child, go out from Nineve, and do not remain here. On the day you bury your mother with me, on that day do not spend the night within its borders. For I see that there is much injustice within it and that much deceit is accomplished within it, and they are not ashamed. |
| 10 τέκνον, ἰδὲ τί ἐποίησεν Ἀμὰν Ἀχιαχάρῳ τῷ θρέψαντι αὐτόν, ὡς ἐκ τοῦ φωτὸς ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σκότος, καὶ ὅσα ἀνταπέδωκεν αὐτῷ· καὶ Ἀχιάχαρος μὲν ἐσώθη, ἐκείνῳ δὲ τὸ ἀνταπόδομα ἀπεδόθη, καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβη εἰς τὸ σκότος. Μανασσῆς ἐποίησεν ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ ἐσώθη ἐκ παγίδος θανάτου, ἧς ἔπηξεν αὐτῷ, Ἀμὰν δὲ ἐνέπεσεν εἰς τὴν παγίδα καὶ ἀπώλετο. | 10 ἰδέ παιδίον ὅσα Ναδὰβ ἐποίησεν Ἀχικάρῳ τῷ ἐκθρέψαντι αὐτόν οὐχὶ ζῶν κατηνέχθη εἰς τὴν γῆν καὶ ἀπέδωκεν ὁ θεὸς τὴν ἀτιμίαν κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸ φῶς Ἀχικάρος καὶ Ναδὰβ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ σκότος τοῦ αἰῶνος ὅτι ἐζήτησεν ἀποκτεῖναι Ἀχίκαρον ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαι ἐλεημοσύνην ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς παγίδος τοῦ θανάτου ἣν ἔπηξεν αὐτῷ Ναδὰβ καὶ Ναδὰβ ἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν παγίδα τοῦ θανάτου καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτόν |
| 10 And bury me decently, and your mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achicharos that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achicharos was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished. | See, my child, what Nadab did to Achikaros who had reared him. Was he not, while still alive, brought down into the earth? And God repaid the dishonour to his face. Now Achikaros came out into the light, but Nadab went into the everlasting darkness, because he sought to kill Achikaros. Because he gave alms, he came out of the death trap that Nadab had set for him, but Nadab fell into the death trap himself, and it destroyed him. |
| 11 καὶ νῦν, παιδία, ἴδετε τί ἐλεημοσύνη ποιεῖ, καὶ τί δικαιοσύνη ῥύεται. καὶ ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λέγοντος ἐξέλιπεν αὐτοῦ ἡ ψυχὴ ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης· ἦν δὲ ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα ὀκτώ· καὶ ἔθαψεν αὐτὸν ἐνδόξως. | 11 καὶ νῦν παιδία ἴδετε τί ποιεῖ ἐλεημοσύνη καὶ τί ποιεῖ ἀδικία ὅτι ἀποκτέννει καὶ ἰδοὺ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐκλείπει καὶ ἔθηκαν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην καὶ ἀπέθανεν καὶ ἐτάφη ἐνδόξως |
| 11 Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably. | So now, my children, see what almsgiving does and what injustice does: it kills! But behold, my soul is about to leave.” Then they laid him on the bed, and he died, and he was buried honourably. |
| 12 καὶ ὅτε ἀπέθανεν Ἀννά, ἔθαψεν αὐτὴν μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. ἀπῆλθεν δὲ Τωβίας μετὰ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἐκβάτανα πρὸς Ῥαγουὴλ τὸν πενθερὸν αὐτοῦ. | 12 καὶ ὅτε ἀπέθανεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἔθαψεν αὐτὴν Τωβίας μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ εἰς Μηδίαν καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν Ἐκβατάνοις μετὰ Ῥαγουήλου τοῦ πενθεροῦ αὐτοῦ |
| 12 And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with his father. But Tōbias departed with his wife and children to Ecbatane to Ragouēl his father in law, | And when his mother died, Tōbias buried her with his father. Then he and his wife went away to Mēdia and dwelled in Ecbatana with Ragouēlos his father-in-law. |
| 13 καὶ ἐγήρασεν ἐντίμως καὶ ἔθαψεν τοὺς πενθεροὺς αὐτοῦ ἐνδόξως καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν τὴν οὐσίαν αὐτῶν καὶ Τωβὶτ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. | 13 καὶ ἐγηροβόσκησεν αὐτοὺς ἐντίμως καὶ ἔθαψεν αὐτοὺς ἐν Ἐκβατάνοις τῆς Μηδίας καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν τὴν οἰκίαν Ῥαγουήλου καὶ Τωβὶθ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ |
| 13 Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tōbit’s. | He tended to them respectfully in their old age, and he buried them at Ecbatana in Mēdia. Then he inherited the house of Ragouēlos and that of Tōbith his father. |
| 14 καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι ἑπτὰ ἐν Ἐκβατάνοις τῆς Μηδίας. | 14 καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν δέκα ἑπτὰ ἐνδόξως |
| 14 And he died at Ecbatane in Mēdia, being an hundred and seven and twenty years old. | Then he died honourably at the age of one hundred seventeen years. |
| 15 καὶ ἤκουσεν πρὶν ἢ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτὸν τὴν ἀπώλειαν Νινευή, ἣν ᾐχμαλώτισεν Ναβουχοδονόσορ καὶ Ἀσυηρός· ἐχάρη πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν ἐπὶ Νινευή. | 15 καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἤκουσεν πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτὸν τὴν ἀπώλειαν Νινευὴ καὶ εἶδεν τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτῆς ἀγομένην εἰς Μηδίαν ἣν ᾐχμαλώτισεν Ἀχιάχαρος ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς Μηδίας καὶ εὐλόγησεν τὸν θεὸν ἐν πᾶσιν οἷς ἐποίησεν ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Νινευὴ καὶ Ἀθουρίας ἐχάρη πρὶν τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν ἐπὶ Νινευὴ καὶ εὐλόγησεν κύριον τὸν θεὸν εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων |
| 15 But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve. | And before he died he saw and heard of the destruction of Nineve, and he saw its captivity being led into Mēdia, which Achiacharos, the king of Mēdia, had taken captive. And he blessed God for all the things that he had done to the sons of Nineve and Athouria; before he died he rejoiced over Nineve, and he blessed the Lord God forever and ever. |
