Tobit 9

NEW JERUSALEM	VULGATA
1 Then Tobias turned to Raphael.	1 Tunc vocavit Tobias angelum ad se, quem quidem hominem existimabat, dixitque ei : Azaria frater, peto ut auscultes verba mea.
2 'Brother Azarias,' he said, 'take four servants and two camels and leave for Rhages.	2 Si meipsum tradam tibi servum, non ero condignus providentiæ tuæ :
3 Go to Gabael's house, give him the receipt and see about the money; then invite him to come with youto my wedding feast.	3 tamen obsecro te ut assumas tibi animalia sive servitia, et vadas ad Gabelum in Rages civitatem Medorum, reddasque ei chirographum suum, et recipias ab eo pecuniam, et roges eum venire ad nuptias meas.
4 You know that my father must be counting the days and that I cannot lose a single one without worryinghim.	4 Scis enim ipse quoniam numerat pater meus dies, et si tardavero una die plus, contristatur anima ejus.
5 You see what Raguel has pledged himself to do; I am bound by his oath.' So Raphael left for Rhages inMedia with the four servants and two camels. They stayed with Gabael, and Raphael showed him the receipt.He told him about the marriage of Tobias son of Tobit and gave him his invitation to the wedding feast. Gabaelstarted counting out the sacks to him -- the seals were intact -- and they loaded them on to the camels.	5 Et certe vides quomodo adjuravit me Raguel, cujus adjuramentum spernere non possum.
6 Early in the morning they set off together for the feast, and reached Raguel's house where they foundTobias dining. He rose to greet Gabael, who burst into tears and blessed him with the words, 'Excellent son of afather beyond reproach, just and generous in his dealings! The Lord give heaven's blessing to you, to your wife,to your wife's father and mother! Blessed be God for granting me the sight of this living image of my cousinTobit!'	6 Tunc Raphaël assumens quatuor ex servis Raguelis, et duos camelos, in Rages civitatem Medorum perrexit : et inveniens Gabelum, reddidit ei chirographum suum, et recepit ab eo omnem pecuniam.
	7 Indicavitque ei de Tobia filio Tobiæ omnia quæ gesta sunt, fecitque eum secum venire ad nuptias.
	8 Cumque ingressus esset domum Raguelis, invenit Tobiam discumbentem : et exiliens, osculati sunt se invicem : et flevit Gabelus, benedixitque Deum,
	9 et dixit : Benedicat te Deus Israël, quia filius es optimi viri et justi, et timentis Deum, et eleemosynas facientis :
	10 et dicatur benedictio super uxorem tuam, et super parentes vestros,
	11 et videatis filios vestros, et filios filiorum vestrorum, usque in tertiam et quartam generationem : et sit semen vestrum benedictum a Deo Israël, qui regnat in sæcula sæculorum.
	12 Cumque omnes dixissent : Amen : accesserunt ad convivium : sed et cum timore Domini nuptiarum convivium exercebant.
