Apo

1 Now Tobit his father counted every day: and when the days of the journey were expired, and they came not,

2 Then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the money?

3 Therefore he was very sorry.

4 Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail him, and said,

5 Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the light of mine eyes.

6 To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.

7 But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.

8 But his father in law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.

9 But Tobias said, No; but let me go to my father.

10 Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and money:

11 And he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The God of heaven give you a prosperous journey, my children.

12 And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.

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 καθ᾽ 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

8 εἶπεν δὲ Τωβιας τῷ Ραγουηλ ἐξαπόστειλόν με ὅτι ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου οὐκέτι ἐλπίζουσιν ὄψεσθαί με

9 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ πενθερὸς αὐτοῦ μεῖνον παρ᾽ ἐμοί κἀγὼ ἐξαποστελῶ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ δηλώσουσιν αὐτῷ τὰ κατὰ σέ καὶ Τωβιας λέγει οὐχί ἀλλὰ ἐξαπόστειλόν με πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου

10 ἀναστὰς δὲ Ραγουηλ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Σαρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων σώματα καὶ κτήνη καὶ ἀργύριον

11 καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτοὺς ἐξαπέστειλεν λέγων εὐοδώσει ὑμᾶς τέκνα ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πρὸ τοῦ με ἀποθανεῖν

12 καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ τίμα τοὺς πενθερούς σου αὐτοὶ νῦν γονεῖς σού εἰσιν ἀκούσαιμί σου ἀκοὴν καλήν καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτήν

13 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

14 μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο Τωβιας εὐλογῶν τὸν θεόν ὅτι εὐόδωσεν τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ κατευλόγει Ραγουηλ καὶ Εδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ

1 ἑκάστην δὲ ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας ἐλογίζετο Τωβιθ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐν πόσαις πορεύσεται καὶ ἐν πόσαις ἐπιστρέψει καὶ ὅτε συνετελέσθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι καὶ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ οὐ παρῆν

2 εἶπεν μήποτε κατεσχέθη ἐκεῖ ἢ μήποτε ἀπέθανεν ὁ Γαβαηλ καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῷ δίδωσιν τὸ ἀργύριον

3 καὶ ἤρξατο λυπεῖσθαι

4 καὶ Αννα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ λέγει ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον μου καὶ οὐκέτι ὑπάρχει ἐν τοῖς ζῶσιν καὶ ἤρξατο κλαίειν καὶ θρηνεῖν περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν

5 οὐαί μοι τέκνον ὅτι ἀφῆκά σε πορευθῆναι τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου

6 καὶ Τωβιθ ἔλεγεν αὐτῇ σίγα μὴ λόγον ἔχε ἀδελφή ὑγιαίνει καὶ μάλα περισπασμὸς αὐτοῖς ἐγένετο ἐκεῖ καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ πορευθεὶς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ πιστός ἐστιν καὶ εἷς τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν μὴ λυποῦ περὶ αὐτοῦ ἀδελφή ἤδη παρέσται

7 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ σίγα ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ μή με πλάνα ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον μου καὶ ἐκπηδήσασα περιεβλέπετο τὴν ὁδόν ᾗ ᾤχετο ὁ υἱὸς αὐτῆς καθ᾽ ἡμέραν καὶ οὐκ ἐπείθετο οὐδενί καὶ ὅτε ἔδυ ὁ ἥλιος εἰσπορευομένη ἐθρήνει καὶ ἔκλαιεν τὴν νύκτα ὅλην καὶ οὐκ εἶχεν ὕπνον

8 καὶ ὅτε συνετελέσθησαν αἱ δέκα τέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου ἃς ὤμοσεν Ραγουηλ ποιῆσαι τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Τωβιας καὶ εἶπεν ἐξαπόστειλόν με γινώσκω γὰρ ἐγὼ ὅτι ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου οὐ πιστεύουσιν ὅτι ὄψονταί με ἔτι καὶ νῦν ἀξιῶ σε πάτερ ὅπως ἐξαποστείλῃς με καὶ πορευθῶ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου ἤδη ὑπέδειξά σοι ὡς ἀφῆκα αὐτόν

9 καὶ εἶπεν Ραγουηλ τῷ Τωβια μεῖνον παιδίον μεῖνον μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω ἀγγέλους πρὸς Τωβιν τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ ὑποδείξουσιν αὐτῷ περὶ σοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ μηδαμῶς ἀξιῶ σε ὅπως ἐξαποστείλῃς με ἐντεῦθεν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου

10 καὶ ἀναστὰς Ραγουηλ παρέδωκεν Τωβια Σαρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ ἥμισυ πάντων τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτῷ παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας βόας καὶ πρόβατα ὄνους καὶ καμήλους ἱματισμὸν καὶ ἀργύριον καὶ σκεύη

11 καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς ὑγιαίνοντας καὶ ἠσπάσατο αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὑγίαινε παιδίον ὑγιαίνων ὕπαγε ὁ κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εὐοδώσαι ὑμᾶς καὶ Σαρραν τὴν γυναῖκά σου καὶ ἴδοιμι ὑμῶν παιδία πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν με

12 καὶ εἶπεν Σαρρα τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ ὕπαγε πρὸς τὸν πενθερόν σου ὅτι ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν αὐτοὶ γονεῖς σου ὡς οἱ γεννήσαντές σε βάδιζε εἰς εἰρήνην θύγατερ ἀκούσαιμί σου ἀγαθὴν ἀκοήν ἕως ζῶ καὶ ἀπασπασάμενος ἀπέλυσεν αὐτούς

13 καὶ Εδνα λέγει Τωβια τέκνον καὶ ἄδελφε ἠγαπημένε ἀποκαταστήσαι σε κύριος καὶ ἴδοιμί σου τέκνα ἕως ζῶ καὶ Σαρρας τῆς θυγατρός μου πρὸ τοῦ με ἀποθανεῖν ἐνώπιον τοῦ κυρίου παρατίθεμαί σοι τὴν θυγατέρα μου ἐν παραθήκῃ μὴ λυπήσῃς αὐτὴν πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς σου παιδίον εἰς εἰρήνην ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἐγώ σου μήτηρ καὶ Σαρρα ἀδελφή εὐοδωθείημεν πάντες ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἐν τῇ ζωῇ ἡμῶν καὶ κατεφίλησεν ἀμφοτέρους καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὑγιαίνοντας

14 καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Τωβιας ἀπὸ Ραγουηλ ὑγιαίνων καὶ χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τῷ κυρίῳ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς τῷ βασιλεῖ τῶν πάντων ὅτι εὐόδωκεν τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ εὐοδώθη σοι τιμᾶν αὐτοὺς πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτῶν

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 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.
