ΤΩΒΙΤ - Tobia - Tobit 14

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 και επαυσατο εξομολογουμενος τωβιτ	1 And the sermon of Tobit was completed. And after Tobit received his sight, he lived forty-two years, and he saw the sons of his grandchildren.
2 και ην ετων πεντηκοντα οκτω οτε απωλεσεν τας οψεις και μετα ετη οκτω ανεβλεψεν και εποιει ελεημοσυνας και προσεθετο φοβεισθαι κυριον τον θεον και εξομολογεισθαι αυτω	2 And so, having completed one hundred and two years, he was buried honorably at Nineveh.
3 μεγαλως δε εγηρασεν και εκαλεσεν τον υιον αυτου και τους υιους αυτου και ειπεν αυτω τεκνον λαβε τους υιους σου ιδου γεγηρακα και προς το αποτρεχειν εκ του ζην ειμι	3 For he was fifty-six years old, when he lost the light of his eyes, and he was sixty years old, when he truly received it again.
4 απελθε εις την μηδιαν τεκνον οτι πεπεισμαι οσα ελαλησεν ιωνας ο προφητης περι νινευη οτι καταστραφησεται εν δε τη μηδια εσται ειρηνη μαλλον εως καιρου και οτι οι αδελφοι ημων εν τη γη σκορπισθησονται απο της αγαθης γης και ιεροσολυμα εσται ερημος και ο οικος του θεου εν αυτη κατακαησεται και ερημος εσται μεχρι χρονου	4 And, in truth, the remainder of his life was in gladness. And so, with the good accomplishment of the fear of God, he departed in peace.
5 και παλιν ελεησει αυτους ο θεος και επιστρεψει αυτους εις την γην και οικοδομησουσιν τον οικον ουχ οιος ο προτερος εως πληρωθωσιν καιροι του αιωνος και μετα ταυτα επιστρεψουσιν εκ των αιχμαλωσιων και οικοδομησουσιν ιερουσαλημ εντιμως και ο οικος του θεου εν αυτη οικοδομηθησεται εις πασας τας γενεας του αιωνος οικοδομη ενδοξω καθως ελαλησαν περι αυτης οι προφηται	5 But, in the hour of his death, he called to himself his son Tobias, along with his sons, the seven youths who were his grandsons, and he said to them:
6 και παντα τα εθνη επιστρεψουσιν αληθινως φοβεισθαι κυριον τον θεον και κατορυξουσιν τα ειδωλα αυτων και ευλογησουσιν παντα τα εθνη τον κυριον	6 “Nineveh will pass away soon. For the word of the Lord goes forward, and our brothers, who have been dispersed away from the land of Israel, shall return to it.
7 και ο λαος αυτου εξομολογησεται τω θεω και υψωσει κυριος τον λαον αυτου και χαρησονται παντες οι αγαπωντες κυριον τον θεον εν αληθεια και δικαιοσυνη ποιουντες ελεος τοις αδελφοις ημων	7 Thus its deserted land will be entirely filled again. And the house of God, which was burned like incense within it, will be rebuilt again. And all those who fear God will return there.
8 και νυν τεκνον απελθε απο νινευη οτι παντως εσται α ελαλησεν ο προφητης ιωνας	8 And the Gentiles will relinquish their idols, and they will enter into Jerusalem, and they will dwell in it.
9 συ δε τηρησον τον νομον και τα προσταγματα και γινου φιλελεημων και δικαιος ινα σοι καλως η και θαψον με καλως και την μητερα σου μετ' εμου και μηκετι αυλισθητε εις νινευη	9 And all the kings of the earth will rejoice in it, adoring the King of Israel.
10 τεκνον ιδε τι εποιησεν αμαν αχιαχαρω τω θρεψαντι αυτον ως εκ του φωτος ηγαγεν αυτον εις το σκοτος και οσα ανταπεδωκεν αυτω και αχιαχαρος μεν εσωθη εκεινω δε το ανταποδομα απεδοθη και αυτος κατεβη εις το σκοτος μανασσης εποιησεν ελεημοσυνην και εσωθη εκ παγιδος θανατου ης επηξεν αυτω αμαν δε ενεπεσεν εις την παγιδα και απωλετο	10 Therefore, my sons, listen to your father. Serve the Lord in truth, and seek to do the things that please him.
11 και νυν παιδια ιδετε τι ελεημοσυνη ποιει και τι δικαιοσυνη ρυεται και ταυτα αυτου λεγοντος εξελιπεν αυτου η ψυχη επι της κλινης ην δε ετων εκατον πεντηκοντα οκτω και εθαψεν αυτον ενδοξως	11 And command your sons, so that they may accomplish justice and almsgiving, and so that they may be mindful of God and may bless him at all times, in truth and with all their strength.
12 και οτε απεθανεν αννα εθαψεν αυτην μετα του πατρος αυτου απηλθεν δε τωβιας μετα της γυναικος αυτου και των υιων αυτου εις εκβατανα προς ραγουηλ τον πενθερον αυτου	12 And now, sons, listen to me, and do not remain here. But, on whatever day you will bury your mother near me in one sepulcher, from that time, direct your steps to leave this place.
13 και εγηρασεν εντιμως και εθαψεν τους πενθερους αυτου ενδοξως και εκληρονομησεν την ουσιαν αυτων και τωβιτ του πατρος αυτου	13 For I see that its iniquity will bring about its end.”
14 και απεθανεν ετων εκατον εικοσι επτα εν εκβατανοις της μηδιας	14 And it happened that, after the death of his mother, Tobias withdrew from Nineveh, with his wife, and sons, and sons of sons, and he was returned to his father-in-law.
15 και ηκουσεν πριν η αποθανειν αυτον την απωλειαν νινευη ην ηχμαλωτισεν ναβουχοδονοσορ και ασυηρος εχαρη προ του αποθανειν επι νινευη .	15 And he found them unharmed in a good old age. And he took care of them, and he closed their eyes. And all the inheritance of the house of Raguel passed to him. And he saw the sons of his sons to the fifth generation.
	16 And, having completed ninety-nine years in the fear of the Lord, with joy, they buried him.
	17 But all his family and all his lineage continued with a good life and in holy conversation, so that they were acceptable both to God and to men, as well as to everyone who dwelt in the land.
