Tobit 5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 Then Tobias answered him, "Father, I will do everything that you have commanded me;	1 ܘܟܕ ܦܢܝ ܛܘܒܝܐ ܐܡ̣ܪ ܠܗ. ܐܥܒܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܕܦܩܕܬܢܝ
2 but how can I obtain the money when I do not know the man?"	2 ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܨܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܣܒܗ ܠܟܣܦܐ̇. ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܗ̇ܘ ܒܪܢܫܐ
3 Then Tobit gave him the receipt, and said to him, "Find a man to go with you and I will pay him wages as long as I live; and go and get the money."	3 ܘܝܗ̣ܒ ܠܗ ܐܫܛܪܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ. ܒܥܝ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܥܡܟ̣. ܘܐܬܠ ܠܗ ܐܓܪܐ ܥܕ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܘܣܒ ܟܕ ܬܐܙܠ ܠܟܣܦܐ
4 So he went to look for a man; and he found Raphael, who was an angel,	4 ܘܐܙܠ ܠܡܒܥܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܠܪܐܦܐܝܠ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܠܐ ܝ̇ܕܥ ܗ̣ܘܐ
5 but Tobias did not know it. Tobias said to him, "Can you go with me to Rages in Media? Are you acquainted with that region?"	5 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ. ܐܢ ܡܨܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܡܟ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܠܪܐ̈ܓܝܐ ܕܡܕܝ̣. ܘܐܢ ܡܢܣܝܐ ܐܝܬܝܟ ܒܕ̈ܘܟܝܬܐ
6 The angel replied, "I will go with you; I am familiar with the way, and I have stayed with our brother Gabael."	6 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ. ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܥܡܟ̣. ܘܕܐܘܪܚܐ ܡܢܣܝܐ ܐܝܬܝ. ܘܠܘܬ ܓܒܐܝܠ ܐܚܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܒܬܬ
7 Then Tobias said to him, "Wait for me, and I shall tell my father."	7 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܛܘܒܝܐ. ܚܡܣܢ ܠܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܕܝܠܝ
8 And he said to him, "Go, and do not delay." So he went in and said to his father, "I have found some one to go with me." He said, "Call him to me, so that I may learn to what tribe he belongs, and whether he is a reliable man to go with you."	8 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܙܠ ܠܐ̣ ܬܫܬܘܚܪ
9 So Tobias invited him in; he entered and they greeted each other.	9 ܘܟܕ ܥܠ ܐܡܪ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ. ܗܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܐܙܠ ܥܡܝ. ܗ̣ܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡ̣ܪ. ܩܪܝ ܠܗ ܠܘܬܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܫܬܘܕܥܝܘܗܝ. ܕܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ̣. ܘܐܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗ̣ܘ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܥܡܟ
10 Then Tobit said to him, "My brother, to what tribe and family do you belong? Tell me. "	10 ܘܩܪܝܗܝ ܘܥ̣ܠ ܘܫܠܡܘ ܠܚ̈ܕܕܐ
11 But he answered, "Are you looking for a tribe and a family or for a man whom you will pay to go with your son?" And Tobit said to him, "I should like to know, my brother, your people and your name."	11 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܛܘܒܝܛ. ܐܚܝ̣. ܡܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܫܒܛܐ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܬܝܟ ܚܘܐ ܠܝ
12 He replied, "I am Azarias the son of the great Ananias, one of your relatives."	12 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ. ܫܒܛܐ ܘܫܪܒܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܬ̣. ܐܘ ܐܓܝܪܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܐܙܠ ܥܡ ܒܪܐ ܕܝܠܟ. ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܛܘܒܝܛ. ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܚܝ̣. ܠܡܫܬܘܕܥܘ ܠܓܢܣܐ ܕܝܠܟ̣ ܘܠܫܡܟ
13 Then Tobit said to him, "You are welcome, my brother. Do not be angry with me because I tried to learn your tribe and family. You are a relative of mine, of a good and noble lineage. For I used to know Ananias and Jathan, the sons of the great Shemaiah, when we went together to Jerusalem to worship and offered the first-born of our flocks and the tithes of our produce. They did not go astray in the error of our brethren. My brother, you come of good stock.	13 ܗ̣ܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡ̣ܪ. ܐܢܐ ܥܙܪܝܐ ܕܚܢܢܝܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܪܒܐ ܕܐ̈ܚܐ ܕܝܠܟ
14 But tell me, what wages am I to pay you--a drachma a day, and expenses for yourself as for my son?	14 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ. ܚܠܝܡܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܐܚܝ.. ܘܠܐ ܬܪܓܙ. ܡܛܠ ܕܒܥܝܬ ܠܫܒܛܐ ܕܝܠܟ ܘܠܫܪܒܬܐ ܠܡܫܬܘܕܥܘ̇. ܘܐܢܬ ܐܝܬܝܟ ܐܚܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܡܢ ܕܪܐ ܕܝܐܐ ܘܛܒ. ܡܫܬܘܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܚܢܢܝܐ ܘܠܝܬܢ ܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܒܢ̈ܝܐ ܕܫܡܥܝ ܗ̇ܘ ܪܒܐ̇. ܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܘܢܐܝܬ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܡܣܓܕ̇. ܟܕ ܡܣܩܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܒܘܟܪ̈ܐ ܘܡܥܣܪ̈ܐ ܕܥ̈ܠܠܬܐ̇. ܘܕܠܐ ܛܥܘ ܒܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܚ̈ܐ ܕܝܠܢ. ܡܢ ܥܩܪܐ ܛ̇ܒܐ ܐܝܬܝܟ ܐܚܝ
15 And besides, I will add to your wages if you both return safe and sound." So they agreed to these terms.	15 ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ̣ ܡܢܐ ܐܗܘܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܓܪܐ. ܙܘܙܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ. ܘܗܠܝܢ ܕܙܕ̈ܩܢ ܠܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܠܒܪܐ ܕܝܠܝ
16 Then he said to Tobias, "Get ready for the journey, and good success to you both." So his son made the preparations for the journey. And his father said to him, "Go with this man; God who dwells in heaven will prosper your way, and may his angel attend you." So they both went out and departed, and the young man's dog was with them.	16 ܘܐܘܣܦ ܠܟ ܥܠ ܐܓܪܐ̇. ܐܢ ܟܕ ܚܠܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܗܦܟܘܢ
17 But Anna, his mother, began to weep, and said to Tobit, "Why have you sent our child away? Is he not the staff of our hands as he goes in and out before us?	17 ܘܐܨܛܒܝܘ ܗܟܢܐ. ܘܐܡܪ ܠܘܬ ܛܘܒܝܐ. ܡܛܝܒܐ ܗܘܝ ܠܘܬ ܐܘܪܚܐ. ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܒܐ ܕܝܠܗ. ܙܠ ܥܡ ܒܪܢܫܐ. ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܥ̇ܡܪ̣. ܢܨܠܚ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ. ܘܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܢܐܙܠ ܥܡܟܘܢ.. ܘܢܦܩܘ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܠܡܐܙܠ. ܘܟܠܒܗ ܕܛܠܝܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ
18 Do not add money to money, but consider it as rubbish as compared to our child.	18 ܒܟ̣ܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܐ ܕܝܠܗ̣ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܘܬ ܛܘܒܝܛ. ܠܡܢܐ ܫܕܪܬ ܠܒܪܐ ܕܝܠܢ. ܠܘ ܚܘܛܪܐ ܕܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܗ̇ܝ ܕܥ̇ܐܠ ܗ̣ܘܐ ܘܢ̇ܦܩ ܗ̣ܘܐ ܩܕܡܝܢ̣
19 For the life that is given to us by the Lord is enough for us."	19 ܟܣܦܐ ܠܟܣܦܐ ܠܐ ܢܡܛܐ̇. ܐܠܐ ܬܚܠܘܦ ܢܦܫܐ ܕܒܪܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܢܗܘܐ
20 And Tobit said to her, "Do not worry, my sister; he will return safe and sound, and your eyes will see him.	20 ܐܝܟ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܗܝܒܐ ܠܢ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܚܐ̣. ܗܕܐ ܕܣܦܩܐ ܠܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ
21 For a good angel will go with him; his journey will be successful, and he will come back safe and sound." So she stopped weeping.	21 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ̇ ܛܘܒܝܛ. ܠܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܟܝ ܚܬܝ.. ܚܠܝܡܐ ܐ̇ܬܐ. ܘܥܝ̈ܢܐ ܕܝܠܟܝ ܚ̈ܙܝܢ ܠܗ
	22 ܡܠܐܟܐ ܓܝܪ ܛܒܐ ܐܙܠ ܥܡܗ ܘܬܬܨܠܚ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܝܠܗ̣. ܘܢܗܦܘܟ ܟܕ ܚܠܝܡ
