ΤΩΒΙΤ - Tobia - Tobit 1

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 βιβλος λογων τωβιτ του τωβιηλ του ανανιηλ του αδουηλ του γαβαηλ εκ του σπερματος ασιηλ εκ της φυλης νεφθαλιμ	1 Tobias of the tribe and city of Nephtali, (which is in the upper parts of Galilee above Naasson, beyond the way that leadeth to the west, having on the right hand the city of Sephet,)
2 ος ηχμαλωτευθη εν ημεραις ενεμεσσαρου του βασιλεως ασσυριων εκ θισβης η εστιν εκ δεξιων κυδιως της νεφθαλιμ εν τη γαλιλαια υπερανω ασηρ	2 When he was made captive in the days of Salmanasar king of the Assyrians, even in his captivity, forsook not the way of truth,
3 εγω τωβιτ οδοις αληθειας επορευομην και δικαιοσυνης πασας τας ημερας της ζωης μου και ελεημοσυνας πολλας εποιησα τοις αδελφοις μου και τω εθνει τοις συμπορευθεισιν μετ' εμου εις χωραν ασσυριων εις νινευη	3 But every day gave all he could get to his brethren his fellow captives, that were of his kindred.
4 και οτε ημην εν τη χωρα μου εν τη γη ισραηλ νεωτερου μου οντος πασα φυλη του νεφθαλιμ του πατρος μου απεστη απο του οικου ιεροσολυμων της εκλεγεισης απο πασων των φυλων ισραηλ εις το θυσιαζειν πασας τας φυλας και ηγιασθη ο ναος της κατασκηνωσεως του υψιστου και ωκοδομηθη εις πασας τας γενεας του αιωνος	4 And when he was younger than any of the tribe of Nephtali, yet did he no childish thing in his work.
5 και πασαι αι φυλαι αι συναποστασαι εθυον τη βααλ τη δαμαλει και ο οικος νεφθαλιμ του πατρος μου	5 Moreover when all went to the golden calves which Jeroboam king of Israel had made, he alone fled the company of all,
6 καγω μονος επορευομην πλεονακις εις ιεροσολυμα εν ταις εορταις καθως γεγραπται παντι τω ισραηλ εν προσταγματι αιωνιω τας απαρχας και τας δεκατας των γενηματων και τας πρωτοκουριας εχων	6 And went to Jerusalem to the temple of the Lord, and there adored the Lord God of Israel, offering faithfully all his firstfruits, and his tithes,
7 και εδιδουν αυτας τοις ιερευσιν τοις υιοις ααρων προς το θυσιαστηριον παντων των γενηματων την δεκατην εδιδουν τοις υιοις λευι τοις θεραπευουσιν εν ιερουσαλημ και την δευτεραν δεκατην απεπρατιζομην και επορευομην και εδαπανων αυτα εν ιεροσολυμοις καθ' εκαστον ενιαυτον	7 So that in the third year he gave all his tithes to the proselytes, and strangers.
8 και την τριτην εδιδουν οις καθηκει καθως ενετειλατο δεββωρα η μητηρ του πατρος μου διοτι ορφανος κατελειφθην υπο του πατρος μου	8 These and such like things did he observe when but a boy according to the law of God.
9 και οτε εγενομην ανηρ ελαβον ανναν γυναικα εκ του σπερματος της πατριας ημων και εγεννησα εξ αυτης τωβιαν	9 But when he was a man, he took to wife Anna of his own tribe, and had a son by her, whom he called after his own name,
10 και οτε ηχμαλωτισθην εις νινευη παντες οι αδελφοι μου και οι εκ του γενους μου ησθιον εκ των αρτων των εθνων	10 And from his infancy he taught him to fear God, and to abstain from all sin.
11 εγω δε συνετηρησα την ψυχην μου μη φαγειν	11 And when by the captivity he with his wife and his son and all his tribe was come to the city of Ninive,
12 καθοτι εμεμνημην του θεου εν ολη τη ψυχη μου	12 (When all ate of the meats of the Gentiles) he kept his soul and never was defiled with their meats.
13 και εδωκεν ο υψιστος χαριν και μορφην ενωπιον ενεμεσσαρου και ημην αυτου αγοραστης	13 And because he was mindful of the Lord with all his heart, God gave him favour in the sight of Salmanasar the king.
14 και επορευομην εις την μηδιαν και παρεθεμην γαβαηλω τω αδελφω γαβρια εν ραγοις της μηδιας αργυριου ταλαντα δεκα	14 And he gave him leave to go whithersoever he would, with liberty to do whatever he had a mind.
15 και οτε απεθανεν ενεμεσσαρος εβασιλευσεν σενναχηριμ ο υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου και αι οδοι αυτου ηκαταστατησαν και ουκετι ηδυνασθην πορευθηναι εις την μηδιαν	15 He therefore went to all that were in captivity, and gave them wholesome admonitions.
16 και εν ταις ημεραις ενεμεσσαρου ελεημοσυνας πολλας εποιουν τοις αδελφοις μου	16 And when he was come to Rages a city of the Medes, and had ten talents of silver of that with which he had been honoured by the king:
17 τους αρτους μου εδιδουν τοις πεινωσιν και τα ιματια μου τοις γυμνοις και ει τινα εκ του γενους μου εθεωρουν τεθνηκοτα και ερριμμενον οπισω του τειχους νινευη εθαπτον αυτον	17 And when amongst a great multitude of his kindred, he saw Gabelus in want, who was one of his tribe, taking a note of his hand he gave him the aforesaid sum of money.
18 και ει τινα απεκτεινεν σενναχηριμ ο βασιλευς οτε ηλθεν φευγων εκ της ιουδαιας εθαψα αυτους κλεπτων πολλους γαρ απεκτεινεν εν τω θυμω αυτου και εζητηθη υπο του βασιλεως τα σωματα και ουχ ευρεθη	18 But after a long time, Salmanasar the king being dead, when Sennacherib his son, who reigned in his place, had a hatred for the children of Israel:
19 πορευθεις δε εις των εν νινευη υπεδειξε τω βασιλει περι εμου οτι θαπτω αυτους και εκρυβην επιγνους δε οτι ζητουμαι αποθανειν φοβηθεις ανεχωρησα	19 Tobias daily went among all his kindred, and comforted them, and distributed to every one as he was able, out of his goods:
20 και διηρπαγη παντα τα υπαρχοντα μου και ου κατελειφθη μοι ουδεν πλην αννας της γυναικος μου και τωβιου του υιου μου	20 He fed the hungry, and gave clothes to the naked, and was careful to bury the dead, and they that were slain.
21 και ου διηλθον ημεραι πεντηκοντα εως ου απεκτειναν αυτον οι δυο υιοι αυτου και εφυγον εις τα ορη αραρατ και εβασιλευσεν σαχερδονος ο υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου και εταξεν αχιαχαρον τον αναηλ υιον του αδελφου μου επι πασαν την εκλογιστιαν της βασιλειας αυτου και επι πασαν την διοικησιν	21 And when king Sennacherib was come back, fleeing from Judea by reason of the slaughter that God had made about him for his blasphemy, and being angry slew many of the children of Israel, Tobias buried their bodies.
22 και ηξιωσεν αχιαχαρος περι εμου και ηλθον εις νινευη αχιαχαρος δε ην ο οινοχοος και επι του δακτυλιου και διοικητης και εκλογιστης και κατεστησεν αυτον ο σαχερδονος εκ δευτερας ην δε εξαδελφος μου	22 But when it was told the king, he commanded him to be slain, and took away all his substance.
	23 But Tobias fleeing naked away with his son and with his wife, lay concealed, for many loved him.
	24 But after forty-five days, the king was killed by his own sons.
	25 And Tobias returned to his house, and all his substance was restored to him.
