NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 In truth, when Tobias was delayed because of the marriage celebration, his father Tobit was worried, saying: “Why do you think my son is delayed, or why has he been detained there?
2 dixit: “ Numquid detentus est ibi? Aut numquid Gabaelmortuus est, et nemo illi reddit pecuniam? ”.	2 Do you think that Gabael has died, and that no one will repay him the money?”
3 Et contristari coepit.	3 And so he began to be exceedingly sad, both he and his wife Anna with him. And they both began to weep together, because their son did not at least return to them on the appointed day.
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 inconsolable tears, and also said: “Woe, woe to me, O my son. Why did we send you to journey far away, you: the light of our eyes, the staff of our old age, the solace of our life, the hope of our posterity?
5 “ Vae mihi,fili, quia te dimisi ire, lumen oculorum meorum! ”.	5 Having all things together as one in you, we ought not to have dismissed you 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 Tobit was saying to her: “Be calm, and do not be troubled. Our son is safe. That man, with whom we sent him, is faithful enough.”
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 Yet she was by no means able to be consoled. But, leaping up every day, she looked all round, and traveled around all the ways, by which there seemed any hope that he might return, so that she might possibly see him coming from afar.
8 Et dixit Raguel Thobiae: “ Remane, fili, remane penes me, etego nuntios mitto ad Thobin patrem tuum, et indicabunt illi de te ”.	8 In truth, Raguel said to his son-in-law, “Remain here, and I will send a message of your health to your father Tobit.”
9 Etdixit illi: “ Minime; peto, ut dimittas me hinc ad patrem meum ”.	9 And Tobias said to him, “I know that my father and my mother have now counted the days, and their spirit must be tortured 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 repeatedly petitioned Tobias, and he was by no means willing to listen to him, he delivered Sarah to him, and half of all his substance: with men and women servants, with sheep, camels, and cows, and with much money. And he dismissed him away, in safety and gladness, 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: “May the holy Angel of the Lord be with your journey, and may he lead you through unharmed, and may you discover that all is right concerning your parents, and may my eyes see your sons 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 hold of 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 honor her father-in-law, to love her husband, to guide the family, to govern the household, and to behave irreproachably herself.
