Tobit 9

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	EINHEITSUBERSETZUNG BIBEL
1 Then Tobiah called Raphael and said to him:	1 Tobias rief Rafael und sagte zu ihm:
2 "Brother Azariah, take along with you four servants and two camels and travel to Rages. Go to Gabael's house and give him this bond. Get the money and then bring him along with you to the wedding celebration.	2 Asarja, mein Bruder, nimm einen Knecht und zwei Kamele und reise nach Rages in Medien zu Gabaël. Hol mir das Geld und bring Gabaël zur Hochzeit mit!
3 You witnessed the oath that Raguel has sworn; I cannot violate his oath."	3 Denn Raguël hat mich beschworen, noch nicht wegzugehen.
4 For you know that my father is counting the days. If I should delay my return by a single day, I would cause him intense grief.	4 Mein Vater zählt die Tage, und wenn ich zu lange fortbleibe, wird er sich große Sorgen machen.
5 So Raphael, together with the four servants and two camels, traveled to Rages in Media, where they stayed at Gabael's house. Raphael gave Gabael his bond and told him about Tobit's son Tobiah, and that he had married and was inviting him to the wedding celebration. Gabael promptly checked over the sealed moneybags, and they placed them on the camels.	5 Rafael reiste ab, blieb die Nacht über bei Gabaël und legte ihm den Schuldschein vor. Gabaël holte die versiegelten Beutel und gab sie ihm.
6 The following morning they got an early start and traveled to the wedding celebration. When they entered Raguel's house, they found Tobiah reclining at table. He sprang up and greeted Gabael, who wept and blessed him, exclaiming: "O noble and good child, son of a noble and good, upright and charitable man, may the Lord grant heavenly blessing to you and to your wife, and to your wife's father and mother. Blessed be God, because I have seen the very image of my cousin Tobit!"	6 Am frühen Morgen brachen sie gemeinsam auf und kamen zur Hochzeit. Und Tobias pries seine Frau.
