ΤΩΒΙΤ - Tobia - Tobit 9

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και εκαλεσεν τωβιας τον ραφαηλ και ειπεν αυτω	1 Then Tobias called the angel to him, whom he took to be a man, and said to him: Brother Azarias, I pray thee hearken to my words:
2 αζαρια αδελφε λαβε μετα σεαυτου παιδα και δυο καμηλους και πορευθητι εν ραγοις της μηδιας παρα γαβαηλ και κομισαι μοι το αργυριον και αυτον αγε εις τον γαμον	2 If I should give myself to be thy servant I should not make a worthy return for thy care.
3 διοτι ομωμοκεν ραγουηλ μη εξελθειν με	3 However, I beseech thee, to take with thee beasts and servants, and to go to Gabelus to Rages the city of the Medes: and to restore to him his note of hand, and receive of him the money, and desire him to come to my wedding.
4 και ο πατηρ μου αριθμει τας ημερας και εαν χρονισω μεγα οδυνηθησεται λιαν	4 For thou knowest that my father numbereth the days: and if I stay one day more, his soul will be afflicted.
5 και επορευθη ραφαηλ και ηυλισθη παρα γαβαηλω και εδωκεν αυτω το χειρογραφον ος δε προηνεγκεν τα θυλακια εν ταις σφραγισιν και εδωκεν αυτω	5 And indeed thou seest how Raguel hath adjured me, whose adjuring I cannot despise.
6 και ωρθρευσαν κοινως και ηλθοσαν εις τον γαμον και ευλογησεν τωβιας την γυναικα αυτου	6 Then Raphael took four of Raguel's servants, and two camels, and went to Rages the city of the Medes: and finding Gabelus, gave him his note of hand, and received of him all the money.
	7 And he told him concerning Tobias the son of Tobias, all that had been done: and made him come with him to the wedding.
	8 And when he was come into Raguel's house he found Tobias sitting at the table: and he leaped up, and they kissed each other: and Gabelus wept, and blessed God,
	9 And said: The God of Israel bless thee, because thou art the son of a very good and just man, and that feareth God, and doth almsdeeds:
	10 And may a blessing come upon thy wife and upon your parents.
	11 And may you see your children, and your children's children, unto the third and fourth generation: and may your seed be blessed by the God of Israel, who reigneth for ever and ever.
	12 And when all had said, Amen, they went to the feast: but the marriage feast they celebrated also with the fear of the Lord.
