KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 Tobias then answered and said, Father, I will do all things which thou hast commanded me:1 Tunc Thobias respondens Thobi patri suo dixit: “ Omnia, quaecumque mihipraecepisti, pater, faciam.
2 But how can I receive the money, seeing I know him not?2 Quomodo autem potero hanc pecuniam recipere abillo? Neque ille me novit, neque ego novi illum. Quod signum dabo illi, ut mecognoscat et credat et det mihi hanc pecuniam? Sed neque vias, quae ad Mediam,novi, ut eam illuc ”.
3 Then he gave him the handwriting, and said unto him, Seek thee a man which may go with thee, whiles I yet live, and I will give him wages: and go and receive the money.3 Tunc respondens Thobi Thobiae filio suo dixit: “Chirographum dedit mihi, et chirographum meum dedi illi et divisi in duaspartes, et unusquisque unam accepimus, et posui cum ipsa pecunia. Et ecce nuncanni sunt viginti, ex quibus penes illum commendavi hanc pecuniam. Et nunc,fili, inquire tibi hominem fidelem, qui eat tecum, et dabimus illi mercedem,donec venias. Et, dum vivo, recipe pecuniam ab illo ”.
4 Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Raphael that was an angel.4 Et exiit Thobias quaerere hominem, qui iret cum ipso in Mediam et qui haberetnotitiam viae. Et invenit Raphael angelum stantem ante ipsum et nesciebat illumangelum Dei esse.
5 But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go with me to Rages? and knowest thou those places well?5 Et dixit illi: “ Unde es, iuvenis? ”. Et dixit illi: “Ex filiis Israel fratribus tuis et veni huc, ut operer ”. Et dixit illiThobias: “ Nosti viam, quae ducit in Mediam? ”.
6 To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, and I know the way well: for I have lodged with our brother Gabael.6 Et ille dixit: “ Utique,aliquotiens fui ibi et habeo notitiam et scio omnes vias et aliquotiens ibam inMediam et manebam penes Gabael fratrem nostrum, qui commoratur in Rages Mediae,et abest iter bidui statuti ex Ecbatanis usque Rages. Nam posita est in monte etEcbatana in medio campo ”.
7 Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me, till I tell my father.7 Et dixit illi Thobias: “ Sustine me, iuvenis,donec intrans patri meo nuntiem. Necessarium est enim mihi, ut eas mecum, etdabo tibi mercedem tuam ”.
8 Then he said unto him, Go and tarry not. So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me. Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.8 Et dixit illi: “ Ecce sustineo; tantum nolitardare ”.
9 So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one another.9 Et introiens Thobias renuntiavit Thobi patri suo et dixit ei: “Ecce inveni hominem ex fratribus nostris, de filiis Israel, qui eat mecum ”.Et dixit illi: “ Roga mihi hominem, ut sciam quid sit genus eius, et ex quatribu sit et an fidelis sit, ut eat tecum, fili ”.
10 Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, shew me of what tribe and family thou art.10 Et exivit Thobias etvocavit illum et dixit ei: “ Iuvenis, pater te rogat ”. Et introivit ad eum,et prior Thobis salutavit eum. Et ille dixit ei: “ Gaudium tibi magnum sit!”. Et respondens Thobi dixit illi: “Quid mihi adhuc gaudium est? Homo suminutilis oculis et non video lumen caelorum, sed in tenebris positus sum sicutmortui, qui non amplius vident lumen. Vivus ego sum inter mortuos. Vocem hominumaudio et ipsos non video ”. Et dixit ei: “ Forti esto animo; in proximo est,ut a Deo cureris. Forti animo esto! ”. Et respondit illi Thobi: “ Thobiasfilius meus vult ire in Mediam. Nonne poteris ire cum illo et ducere illum? Etdabo tibi mercedem tuam, frater ”. Et dixit illi: “ Potero ire cum illo,quoniam novi omnes vias et aliquotiens ivi in Mediam et perambulavi omnes camposeius et montes et omnes commeatus scio ”.
11 To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy son? Then Tobit said unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and name.11 Et dixit ei: “ Frater, ex quapatria es et ex qua tribu? Narra mihi, frater ”.
12 Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, and of thy brethren.12 Et ille dixit: “ Quidtibi necesse est tribus? ”. Et dixit ei: “ Volo scire ex veritate cuius siset nomen tuum ”.
13 Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have enquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock: for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stock.13 Et dixit: “ Ego sum Azarias Ananiae magni filius, exfratribus tuis ”.
14 But tell me, what wages shall I give thee? wilt thou a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son?14 Et dixit illi Thobi: “ Salvus et sanus venias, frater, sed ne irascaris,frater, quod voluerim verum scire et patriam tuam. Tu frater meus es et degenere bono et optimo! Noveram Ananiam et Nathan duos filios Semeliae magni; etipsi mecum ibant in Ierusalem et adorabant ibi mecum et non exerraverunt.Fratres tui viri optimi sunt; ex bona radice es. Et gaudens venias! ”.
15 Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy wages.15 Etdixit ei: “ Ego tibi dabo mercedis nomine drachmam diurnam et, quaecumquenecessaria sunt tibi et filio meo, similiter; et vade cum illo,
16 So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when his son had prepared all things far the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth both, and the young man's dog with them.16 et adiciamtibi ad mercedem ”.
17 But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our son? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us?17 Et dixit illi: “ Ibo cum illo, ne timueris; salviibimus et salvi revertemur ad te, quoniam via tuta est ”. Et dixit ei: “Benedictio sit tibi, frater! ”. Et vocavit filium suum et dixit illi: “Fili, praepara, quae ad viam, et exi cum fratre tuo. Deus autem, qui in caeloest, protegat vos ibi et reducat vos ad me salvos; et angelus illius comiteturvos cum sanitate, fili! ”.
Et exiit, ut iret viam suam, et osculatus est patrem suum et matrem. Et dixitilli Thobi: “ Vade sanus! ”.
18 Be not greedy to add money to money: but let it be as refuse in respect of our child.18 Et lacrimata est mater illius et dixitThobi: “ Quid dimisisti filium meum? Nonne ipse est virga manus nostrae etipse intrat et exit coram nobis?
19 For that which the Lord hath given us to live with doth suffice us.19 Pecunia ne adveniat pecuniae, sedpurgamentum sit filii nostri.
20 Then said Tobit to her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.20 Quomodo datum est nos a Domino vivere, hocsufficiebat nobis ”.
21 For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.21 Et dixit illi: “ Noli computare; salvus ibit filiusnoster et salvus revertetur ad nos, et oculi tui videbunt eum illa die, quavenerit ad te sanus. Ne computaveris, ne timueris de illis, soror.
22 Then she made an end of weeping.22 Angelusenim bonus ibit cum illo, et bene disponetur via illius, et revertetur sanus ”.
