KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 Then Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give him more.1 Et, postquam consummatae sunt nuptiae, vocavit Thobi filium suum Thobiamet dixit illi: “ Homini illi, qui tecum ivit, reddamus honorem et adiciamus admercedem suam ”.
2 And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have brought:2 Et dixit illi: “ Pater, quantam illi dabo mercedem? Nonlaedor, si dedero illi ex his, quae mecum contulit, dimidiam partem.
3 For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, and made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and likewise healed thee.3 Duxit mesanum et uxorem meam curavit et pecuniam mecum attulit et te curavit! Quantamilli dabo mercedem adhuc? ”.
4 Then the old man said, It is due unto him.4 Et dixit illi Thobi: “ Iustum est illum,fili, dimidium omnium horum, quae tecum attulit, accipere ”.
5 So he called the angel, and he said unto him, Take half of all that ye have brought and go away in safety.5 Et vocavitillum et dixit: “ Accipe dimidium omnium horum, quae tecum attulisti, inmercedem tuam et vade sanus ”.
6 Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise him.6 Tunc Raphael vocavit ambos abscondite etdixit illis: “ Deum benedicite et illi confitemini coram omnibus viventibus,quae fecit nobiscum bona, ut benedicatis et decantetis nomini eius; sermones Deihonorifice ostendite et ne cunctemini confiteri illi.
7 It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is honourable to reveal the works of God. Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.7 Sacramentum regis bonumest abscondere, opera autem Dei revelare et confiteri honorificum est. Bonumfacite, et malum non inveniet vos.
8 Prayer is good with fasting and alms and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold:8 Bona est oratio cum ieiunio, et eleemosynacum iustitia. Melius est modicum cum iustitia quam plurimum cum iniquitate.Bonum est facere eleemosynam magis quam thesauros auri condere.
9 For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life:9 Eleemosyna amorte liberat et ipsa purgat omne peccatum. Qui faciunt eleemosynam,saturabuntur vita;
10 But they that sin are enemies to their own life.10 qui faciunt peccatum et iniquitatem, hostes sunt animaesuae.
11 Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honourable to reveal the works of God.11 Omnem veritatem vobis manifestabo et non abscondam a vobis ullumsermonem. Iam demonstravi vobis et dixi: Sacramentum regis bonum est abscondere,opera autem Dei revelare honorificum est.
12 Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when thou didst bury the dead, I was with thee likewise.12 Et nunc, quando orabas tu et Sara,ego obtuli memoriam orationis vestrae in conspectu claritatis Domini; et, cumsepeliebas mortuos, similiter.
13 And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave thy dinner, to go and cover the dead, thy good deed was not hid from me: but I was with thee.13 Et quia non es cunctatus exsurgere etrelinquere prandium tuum et abisti et sepelisti mortuum, tunc missus sum ad tetentare te.
14 And now God hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy daughter in law.14 Et iterum me misit Deus curare te et Saram nurum tuam.
15 I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One.15 Ego sumRaphael, unus ex septem angelis sanctis, qui assistimus et ingredimur anteclaritatem Domini ”.
16 Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces: for they feared.16 Et conturbati sunt ambo et ceciderunt in faciem suamet timuerunt.
17 But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with you; praise God therefore.17 Et dixit illis: “ Nolite timere; pax vobis. Deum benedicitein omne aevum.
18 For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of our God I came; wherefore praise him for ever.18 Cum essem vobiscum, non mea gratia eram vobiscum sed voluntateDei. Ipsi benedicite omnibus diebus, decantate ei.
19 All these days I did appear unto you; but I did neither eat nor drink, but ye did see a vision.19 Et videbatis me quia nihilmanducabam, sed visus vobis videbatur.
20 Now therefore give God thanks: for I go up to him that sent me; but write all things which are done in a book.20 Et nunc benedicite Dominum super terraet confitemini Deo. Ecce ego ascendo ad eum, qui me misit. Scribite omnia haec,quae contigerunt vobis ”. Et ascendit.
21 And when they arose, they saw him no more.21 Et surrexerunt et iam non poterantillum videre.
22 Then they confessed the great and wonderful works of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them.22 Et benedicebant et decantabant Deo et confitebantur illi inomnibus his magnis operibus illius, quia apparuerat illis angelus Dei.
