Apo

1 And when they had supped, they brought Tobias in unto her.

2 And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith.

3 The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.

4 And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us.

5 Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.

6 Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.

7 And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lush but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.

8 And she said with him, Amen.

9 So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,

10 Saying, I fear lest he also be dead.

11 But when Raguel was come into his house,

12 He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.

13 So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them both asleep,

14 And came forth, and told them that he was alive.

15 Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.

16 Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.

17 Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.

18 Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.

19 And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.

20 For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;

21 And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.

1 ὅτε δὲ συνετέλεσαν δειπνοῦντες εἰσήγαγον Τωβιαν πρὸς αὐτήν

2 ὁ δὲ πορευόμενος ἐμνήσθη τῶν λόγων Ραφαηλ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν τέφραν τῶν θυμιαμάτων καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τὴν καρδίαν τοῦ ἰχθύος καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ καὶ ἐκάπνισεν

3 ὅτε δὲ ὠσφράνθη τὸ δαιμόνιον τῆς ὀσμῆς ἔφυγεν εἰς τὰ ἀνώτατα Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸ ὁ ἄγγελος

4 ὡς δὲ συνεκλείσθησαν ἀμφότεροι ἀνέστη Τωβιας ἀπὸ τῆς κλίνης καὶ εἶπεν ἀνάστηθι ἀδελφή καὶ προσευξώμεθα ἵνα ἡμᾶς ἐλεήσῃ ὁ κύριος

5 καὶ ἤρξατο Τωβιας λέγειν εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ἔνδοξον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας εὐλογησάτωσάν σε οἱ οὐρανοὶ καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ κτίσεις σου

6 σὺ ἐποίησας Αδαμ καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτῷ βοηθὸν Ευαν στήριγμα τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τούτων ἐγενήθη τὸ ἀνθρώπων σπέρμα σὺ εἶπας οὐ καλὸν εἶναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον μόνον ποιήσωμεν αὐτῷ βοηθὸν ὅμοιον αὐτῷ

7 καὶ νῦν κύριε οὐ διὰ πορνείαν ἐγὼ λαμβάνω τὴν ἀδελφήν μου ταύτην ἀλλ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας ἐπίταξον ἐλεῆσαί με καὶ ταύτῃ συγκαταγηρᾶσαι

8 καὶ εἶπεν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ αμην

9 καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν ἀμφότεροι τὴν νύκτα

10 καὶ ἀναστὰς Ραγουηλ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ὤρυξεν τάφον λέγων μὴ καὶ οὗτος ἀποθάνῃ

11 καὶ ἦλθεν Ραγουηλ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ἑαυτοῦ

12 καὶ εἶπεν Εδνα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπόστειλον μίαν τῶν παιδισκῶν καὶ ἰδέτωσαν εἰ ζῇ εἰ δὲ μή ἵνα θάψωμεν αὐτὸν καὶ μηδεὶς γνῷ

13 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ παιδίσκη ἀνοίξασα τὴν θύραν καὶ εὗρεν τοὺς δύο καθεύδοντας

14 καὶ ἐξελθοῦσα ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῇ

15 καὶ εὐλόγησεν Ραγουηλ τὸν θεὸν λέγων εὐλογητὸς εἶ σύ ὁ θεός ἐν πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ καθαρᾷ καὶ ἁγίᾳ καὶ εὐλογείτωσάν σε οἱ ἅγιοί σου καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ κτίσεις σου καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοί σου καὶ οἱ ἐκλεκτοί σου εὐλογείτωσάν σε εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας

16 εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὅτι ηὔφρανάς με καὶ οὐκ ἐγένετό μοι καθὼς ὑπενόουν ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ πολὺ ἔλεός σου ἐποίησας μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν

17 εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὅτι ἠλέησας δύο μονογενεῖς ποίησον αὐτοῖς δέσποτα ἔλεος συντέλεσον τὴν ζωὴν αὐτῶν ἐν ὑγιείᾳ μετὰ εὐφροσύνης καὶ ἐλέους

18 ἐκέλευσεν δὲ τοῖς οἰκέταις χῶσαι τὸν τάφον

19 καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς γάμον ἡμερῶν δέκα τεσσάρων

20 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ραγουηλ πρὶν ἢ συντελεσθῆναι τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ γάμου ἐνόρκως μὴ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτόν ἐὰν μὴ πληρωθῶσιν αἱ δέκα τέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου

21 καὶ τότε λαβόντα τὸ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτοῦ πορεύεσθαι μετὰ ὑγιείας πρὸς τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὰ λοιπά ὅταν ἀποθάνω καὶ ἡ γυνή μου

1 καὶ ὅτε συνετέλεσαν τὸ φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν ἠθέλησαν κοιμηθῆναι καὶ ἀπήγαγον τὸν νεανίσκον καὶ εἰσήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ ταμίειον

2 καὶ ἐμνήσθη Τωβιας τῶν λόγων Ραφαηλ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸ ἧπαρ τοῦ ἰχθύος καὶ τὴν καρδίαν ἐκ τοῦ βαλλαντίου οὗ εἶχεν καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὴν τέφραν τοῦ θυμιάματος

3 καὶ ἡ ὀσμὴ τοῦ ἰχθύος ἐκώλυσεν καὶ ἀπέδραμεν τὸ δαιμόνιον ἄνω εἰς τὰ μέρη Αἰγύπτου καὶ βαδίσας Ραφαηλ συνεπόδισεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐπέδησεν παραχρῆμα

4 καὶ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἀπέκλεισαν τὴν θύραν τοῦ ταμιείου καὶ ἠγέρθη Τωβιας ἀπὸ τῆς κλίνης καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἀδελφή ἀνάστηθι προσευξώμεθα καὶ δεηθῶμεν τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ὅπως ποιήσῃ ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς ἔλεος καὶ σωτηρίαν

5 καὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἤρξαντο προσεύχεσθαι καὶ δεηθῆναι ὅπως γένηται αὐτοῖς σωτηρία καὶ ἤρξατο λέγειν εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας τῆς γενεᾶς εὐλογησάτωσάν σε οἱ οὐρανοὶ καὶ πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις σου εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας

6 σὺ ἐποίησας τὸν Αδαμ καὶ ἐποίησας αὐτῷ βοηθὸν στήριγμα Ευαν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξ ἀμφοτέρων ἐγενήθη τὸ σπέρμα τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ σὺ εἶπας ὅτι οὐ καλὸν εἶναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον μόνον ποιήσωμεν αὐτῷ βοηθὸν ὅμοιον αὐτῷ

7 καὶ νῦν οὐχὶ διὰ πορνείαν ἐγὼ λαμβάνω τὴν ἀδελφήν μου ταύτην ἀλλ᾽ ἐπ᾽ ἀληθείας ἐπίταξον ἐλεῆσαί με καὶ αὐτὴν καὶ συγκαταγηρᾶσαι κοινῶς

8 καὶ εἶπαν μεθ᾽ ἑαυτῶν αμην αμην

9 καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν τὴν νύκτα

10 καὶ ἀναστὰς Ραγουηλ ἐκάλεσεν τοὺς οἰκέτας μεθ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ᾤχοντο καὶ ὤρυξαν τάφον εἶπεν γάρ μήποτε ἀποθάνῃ καὶ γενώμεθα κατάγελως καὶ ὀνειδισμός

11 καὶ ὅτε συνετέλεσαν ὀρύσσοντες τὸν τάφον ἦλθεν Ραγουηλ εἰς τὸν οἶκον καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ

12 καὶ εἶπεν ἀπόστειλον μίαν τῶν παιδισκῶν καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα ἰδέτω εἰ ζῇ καὶ εἰ τέθνηκεν ὅπως ἂν θάψωμεν αὐτόν ὅπως μηδεὶς γνῷ

13 καὶ ἀπέστειλαν τὴν παιδίσκην καὶ ἧψαν τὸν λύχνον καὶ ἤνοιξαν τὴν θύραν καὶ εἰσῆλθεν καὶ εὗρεν αὐτοὺς καθεύδοντας καὶ ὑπνοῦντας κοινῶς

14 καὶ ἐξελθοῦσα ἡ παιδίσκη ὑπέδειξεν αὐτοῖς ὅτι ζῇ καὶ οὐδὲν κακόν ἐστιν

15 καὶ εὐλόγησαν τὸν θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ εἶπαν εὐλογητὸς εἶ θεέ ἐν πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ καθαρᾷ εὐλογείτωσάν σε εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας

16 καὶ εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὅτι εὔφρανάς με καὶ οὐκ ἐγένετο καθὼς ὑπενόουν ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ πολὺ ἔλεός σου ἐποίησας μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν

17 καὶ εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὅτι ἠλέησας δύο μονογενεῖς ποίησον αὐτοῖς δέσποτα ἔλεος καὶ σωτηρίαν καὶ συντέλεσον τὴν ζωὴν αὐτῶν μετ᾽ εὐφροσύνης καὶ ἐλέου

18 τότε εἶπεν τοῖς οἰκέταις αὐτοῦ χῶσαι τὸν τάφον πρὸ τοῦ ὄρθρον γενέσθαι

19 καὶ τῇ γυναικὶ εἶπεν ποιῆσαι ἄρτους πολλούς καὶ εἰς τὸ βουκόλιον βαδίσας ἤγαγεν βόας δύο καὶ κριοὺς τέσσαρας καὶ εἶπεν συντελεῖν αὐτούς καὶ ἤρξαντο παρασκευάζειν

20 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Τωβιαν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ δέκα τεσσάρων ἡμερῶν οὐ μὴ κινηθῇς ἐντεῦθεν ἀλλ᾽ αὐτοῦ μενεῖς ἔσθων καὶ πίνων παρ᾽ ἐμοὶ καὶ εὐφρανεῖς τὴν ψυχὴν τῆς θυγατρός μου τὴν κατωδυνωμένην

21 καὶ ὅσα μοι ὑπάρχει λάμβανε αὐτόθεν τὸ ἥμισυ καὶ ὕπαγε ὑγιαίνων πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὸ ἄλλο ἥμισυ ὅταν ἀποθάνω ἐγώ τε καὶ ἡ γυνή μου ὑμέτερόν ἐστιν θάρσει παιδίον ἐγώ σου ὁ πατὴρ καὶ Εδνα ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ παρὰ σοῦ ἐσμεν ἡμεῖς καὶ τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα θάρσει παιδίον

1 Postquam vero cœnaverunt, introduxerunt juvenem ad eam.

2 Recordatus itaque Tobias sermonum angeli, protulit de cassidili suo partem jecoris, posuitque eam super carbones vivos.

3 Tunc Raphaël angelus apprehendit dæmonium, et religavit illud in deserto superioris Ægypti.

4 Tunc hortatus est virginem Tobias, dixitque ei: Sara, exsurge, et deprecemur Deum hodie, et cras, et secundum cras: quia his tribus noctibus Deo jungimur; tertia autem transacta nocte, in nostro erimus conjugio.

5 Filii quippe sanctorum sumus, et non possumus ita conjungi sicut gentes quæ ignorant Deum.

6 Surgentes autem pariter, instanter orabant ambo simul, ut sanitas daretur eis.

7 Dixitque Tobias: Domine Deus patrum nostrorum, benedicant te cæli et terræ, mareque et fontes, et flumina, et omnes creaturæ tuæ quæ in eis sunt.

8 Tu fecisti Adam de limo terræ, dedistique ei adjutorium Hevam.

9 Et nunc Domine, tu scis quia non luxuriæ causa accipio sororem meam conjugem, sed sola posteritatis dilectione, in qua benedicatur nomen tuum in sæcula sæculorum.

10 Dixit quoque Sara: Miserere nobis Domine, miserere nobis, et consenescamus ambo pariter sani.

11 Et factum est circa pullorum cantum, accersiri jussit Raguel servos suos, et abierunt cum eo pariter ut foderent sepulchrum.

12 Dicebat enim: Ne forte simili modo evenerit ei, quo et ceteris illis septem viris qui sunt ingressi ad eam.

13 Cumque parassent fossam, reversus Raguel ad uxorem suam, dixit ei:

14 Mitte unam de ancillis tuis, et videat si mortuus est, ut sepeliam eum antequam illucescat dies.

15 At illa misit unam ex ancillis suis. Quæ ingressa cubiculum, reperit eos salvos et incolumes, secum pariter dormientes.

16 Et reversa nuntiavit bonum nuntium: et benedixerunt Dominum, Raguel videlicet et Anna uxor ejus,

17 et dixerunt: Benedicimus te, Domine Deus Israël, quia non contigit quemadmodum putabamus.

18 Fecisti enim nobiscum misericordiam tuam, et exclusisti a nobis inimicum persequentem nos.

19 Misertus es autem duobus unicis. Fac eos, Domine, plenius benedicere te, et sacrificium tibi laudis tuæ et suæ sanitatis offerre, ut cognoscat universitas gentium quia tu es Deus solus in universa terra.

20 Statimque præcepit servis suis Raguel ut replerent fossam quam fecerant priusquam elucesceret.

21 Uxori autem suæ dixit ut instrueret convivium, et præpararet omnia quæ in cibos erant iter agentibus necessaria.

22 Duas quoque pingues vaccas, et quatuor arietes, occidi fecit, et parari epulas omnibus vicinis suis, cunctisque amicis.

23 Et adjuravit Raguel Tobiam ut duas hebdomadas moraretur apud se.

24 De omnibus autem quæ possidebat Raguel, dimidiam partem dedit Tobiæ, et fecit scripturam, ut pars dimidia quæ supererat, post obitum eorum Tobiæ dominio deveniret.
