Tobit 13

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 And so, the elder Tobit, opening his mouth, blessed the Lord, and he said: “O Lord, you are great in eternity and your kingdom is with all ages.	1 Aperiens autem Tobias senior os suum, benedixit Dominum, et dixit : Magnus es, Domine, in æternum, et in omnia sæcula regnum tuum :
2 For you scourge, and you save. You lead down to the grave, and you bring up again. And there is no one who can escape from your hand.	2 quoniam tu flagellas, et salvas ; deducis ad inferos, et reducis : et non est qui effugiat manum tuam.
3 Confess to the Lord, O sons of Israel, and praise him in the sight of the nations.	3 Confitemini Domino, filii Israël, et in conspectu gentium laudate eum :
4 For, indeed, he has dispersed you among the Gentiles, who are ignorant of him, that you may proclaim his wonders, and that you may cause them to know that there is no other almighty God, except him.	4 quoniam ideo dispersit vos inter gentes quæ ignorant eum, ut vos enarretis mirabilia ejus, et faciatis scire eos quia non est alius deus omnipotens præter eum.
5 He has chastised us because of our iniquities, and he will save us because of his mercy.	5 Ipse castigavit nos propter iniquitates nostras, et ipse salvabit nos propter misericordiam suam.
6 Therefore, look upon what he has done for us, and, with fear and trembling, confess to him. And extol the King of all ages with your works.	6 Aspicite ergo quæ fecit nobiscum, et cum timore et tremore confitemini illi : regemque sæculorum exaltate in operibus vestris.
7 But as for me, I will confess him in the land of my captivity. For he has revealed his majesty within a sinful nation.	7 Ego autem in terra captivitatis meæ confitebor illi : quoniam ostendit majestatem suam in gentem peccatricem.
8 And so, be converted, you sinners, and do justice in the presence of God, believing that he will act in his mercy toward you.	8 Convertimini itaque peccatores, et facite justitiam coram Deo, credentes quod faciat vobiscum misericordiam suam.
9 But I and my soul will rejoice in him.	9 Ego autem et anima mea in eo lætabimur.
10 Bless the Lord, all you his elect. Keep days of rejoicing, and confess to him.	10 Benedicite Dominum omnes electi ejus : agite dies lætitiæ, et confitemini illi.
11 O Jerusalem, the city of God, the Lord has chastised you for the works of your hands.	11 Jerusalem civitas Dei, castigavit te Dominus in operibus manuum tuarum.
12 Confess to the Lord with your good things, and bless the God of all ages, so that he may rebuild his tabernacle in you, and he may recall all the captives to you, and you may be glad in all ages and forever.	12 Confitere Domino in bonis tuis, et benedic Deum sæculorum : ut reædificet in te tabernaculum suum, et revocet ad te omnes captivos, et gaudeas in omnia sæcula sæculorum.
13 You will shine with a splendid light, and all the ends of the earth will adore by you.	13 Luce splendida fulgebis, et omnes fines terræ adorabunt te.
14 Nations from far away will come to you, bringing gifts. And in you, they shall adore the Lord, and they will hold your land in sanctification.	14 Nationes ex longinquo ad te venient, et munera deferentes adorabunt in te Dominum, et terram tuam in sanctificationem habebunt :
15 For they will invoke the Great Name in you.	15 nomen enim magnum invocabunt in te.
16 Those who despise you will be cursed, and all those who blaspheme by you will be condemned, and those who build you up will be blessed.	16 Maledicti erunt qui contempserint te, et condemnati erunt omnes qui blasphemaverint te : benedictique erunt qui ædificaverint te.
17 But you will rejoice in your sons, because they will all be blessed, and they will be gathered together for the Lord.	17 Tu autem lætaberis in filiis tuis, quoniam omnes benedicentur, et congregabuntur ad Dominum.
18 Blessed are all those who love you and who rejoice in your peace.	18 Beati omnes qui diligunt te, et qui gaudent super pace tua.
19 Bless the Lord, O my soul, for the Lord our God has freed Jerusalem, his city, from every one of her tribulations.	19 Anima mea, benedic Dominum, quoniam liberavit Jerusalem civitatem suam a cunctis tribulationibus ejus Dominus Deus noster.
20 Happy will I be, if any of my offspring will be left to see the brightness of Jerusalem.	20 Beatus ero si fuerint reliquiæ seminis mei ad videndam claritatem Jerusalem.
21 The gates of Jerusalem will be built from sapphire and emerald, and all its walls will be surrounded with precious stones.	21 Portæ Jerusalem ex sapphiro et smaragdo ædificabuntur, et ex lapide pretioso omnis circuitus murorum ejus.
22 All its streets will be paved with stones, white and clean. And ‘Alleluia’ will be sung throughout its neighborhoods.	22 Ex lapide candido et mundo omnes plateæ ejus sternentur, et per vicos ejus alleluja cantabitur.
23 Blessed be the Lord, who has exalted it, and may he reign over it, forever and ever. Amen.”	23 Benedictus Dominus, qui exaltavit eam, et sit regnum ejus in sæcula sæculorum super eam. Amen.
