Tobia 10

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et cotidie ex illo die computabat Thobi dies, in quibus iret et inquibus reverteretur filius eius. Et, postquam consummati sunt dies, et filiuseius non veniebat,	1 But as Tobias made longer stay upon occasion of the marriage, Tobias his father was solicitous, saying: Why thinkest thou doth my son tarry, or why is he detained there?
2 dixit: “ Numquid detentus est ibi? Aut numquid Gabaelmortuus est, et nemo illi reddit pecuniam? ”.	2 Is Gabelus dead, thinkest thou, and no man will pay him the money?
3 Et contristari coepit.	3 And he began to be exceeding sad, both he and Anna his wife with him: and they began both to weep together: because their son did not return to them on the day appointed.
4 EtAnna uxor illius dixit: “ Periit filius meus et iam non est inter vivos. Quaretardat? ”. Et coepit plorare et lugere filium suum et dixit:	4 But his mother wept and was quite disconsolate, and said: Woe, woe is me, my son; why did we send thee to go to a strange country, the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the comfort of our life, the hope of our posterity?
5 “ Vae mihi,fili, quia te dimisi ire, lumen oculorum meorum! ”.	5 We having all things together in thee alone, ought not to have let thee go from us.
6 Cui Thobi dicebat: “Tace, noli computare, soror; salvus est filius noster, sed certe mora fuit illisibi, et homo, qui cum illo ivit, fidelis est et est ex fratribus nostris. Nolitaediare pro illo, soror, iam veniet ”.	6 And Tobias said to her: Hold thy peace, and be not troubled, our son is safe: that man with whom we sent him is very trusty.
7 Et illa dixit: “ Tace a me; nolime seducere! Periit filius meus ”. Et exsiliens circumspiciebat cotidie viam,qua filius eius profectus erat, et nihil gustabat; et, cum occidisset sol,introibat et lugebat lacrimans tota nocte et non dormiebat. Et, ut consummati sunt quattuordecim dies nuptiarum, quos iuraverat Raguelfacere filiae suae, exiit ad illum Thobias et dixit: “ Dimitte me. Scio enimquia pater meus et mater mea non credunt se adhuc visuros me. Nunc itaque peto,pater, ut dimittas me, et eam ad patrem meum; iam tibi indicavi quomodo illumreliquerim ”.	7 But she could by no means be comforted, but daily running out looked round about, and went into all the ways by which there seemed any hope he might return, that she might if possible see him coming afar off.
8 Et dixit Raguel Thobiae: “ Remane, fili, remane penes me, etego nuntios mitto ad Thobin patrem tuum, et indicabunt illi de te ”.	8 But Raguel said to his son in law: Stay here, and I will send a messenger to Tobias thy father, that thou art in health.
9 Etdixit illi: “ Minime; peto, ut dimittas me hinc ad patrem meum ”.	9 And Tobias said to him: I know that my father and mother now count the days, and their spirit is grievously afflicted within them.
10 Etsurgens Raguel tradidit Thobiae Saram uxorem eius et dimidiam partem substantiaesuae, pueros et puellas, oves et boves, asinos et camelos, vestem et pecuniam etvasa.	10 And when Raguel had pressed Tobias with many words, and he by no means would hearken to him, he delivered Sara unto him, and half of all his substance in menservants, and womenservants, in cattle, in camels, and in kine, and in much money, and sent him away safe and joyful from him.
11 Et dimisit illos et vale illi fecit et dixit illi: “ Sanus sis, fili,et vade sanus! Dominus caeli bene dirigat vias vestras; et videam ex vobisfilios, antequam moriar ”.	11 Saying: The holy angel of the Lord be with you in your journey, and bring you through safe, and that you may find all things well about your parents, and my eyes see your children before I die.
12 Et osculatus est Saram filiam suam et dixitilli: “ Filia, honorem habe socero tuo et socrui tuae, quia ipsi amodo suntparentes tui tamquam hi qui te genuerunt. Vade in pacem, filia! Audiam de teauditionem bonam in vita mea ”. Et osculatus est eam et dimisit illos. Et Ednadixit Thobiae: “ Fili et frater dilecte, te restituat Dominus caeli, et videamfilios tuos et Sarae filiae meae, antequam moriar, ut delecter coram Domino. Egotrado tibi filiam meam tamquam depositum, ut non vexes eam omnibus diebus vitaetuae. Vade, fili, in pacem. Ego mater tua amodo, et Sara soror tua. Benedirigamur omnes in ipso omnibus diebus vitae nostrae ”. Et osculata est amboset dimisit illos sanos.	12 And the parents taking their daughter kissed her, and let her go:
13 Et discessit Thobias a Raguel gaudens et benedicensDominum caeli et terrae, regem omnium, quia direxerat viam eius. Et benedixitRaguel et Ednae uxori eius et dixit eis: “ Fiat mihi honorare vos tamquamparentes meos omnibus diebus vitae vestrae ”.	13 Admonishing her to honour her father and mother in law, to love her husband, to take care of the family, to govern the house, and to behave herself irreprehensibly.
