Tobia 11

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et abierunt viam suam et pervenerunt Charran, quae est contra Nineven.	1 And as they were returning they came to Charan, which is in the midway to Ninive, the eleventh day.
2 Tunc dixit Raphael: “ Scis quomodo dereliquerimus patrem tuum.	2 And the angel said: Brother Tobias, thou knowest how thou didst leave thy father.
3 Praecedamusuxorem tuam et praeparemus domum, dum veniunt ”.	3 If it please thee therefore, let us go before, and let the family follow softly after us, together with thy wife, and with the beasts.
4 Et processerunt ambopariter. Et dixit illi: “ Tolle tecum fel ”. Et abiit cum illis canis exeis, qui sequebantur eum et Thobiam.	4 And as this their going pleased him, Raphael said to Tobias: Take with thee of the gall of the fish, for it will be necessary. So Tobias took some of that gall and departed.
5 Et Anna sedebat circumspiciens viam filiisui.	5 But Anna sat beside the way daily, on the top of a hill, from whence she might see afar off.
6 Et cognovit illum venientem et dixit patri eius: “ Ecce filius tuusvenit et homo, qui cum illo ierat ”.	6 And while she watched his coming from that place, she saw him afar off, and presently perceived it was her son coming: and returning she told her husband, saying: Behold thy son cometh.
7 Et Raphael dixit Thobiae, antequamappropinquaret patri: “ Scio quia oculi eius aperientur.	7 And Raphael said to Tobias: As soon as thou shalt come into thy house, forthwith adore the Lord thy God: and giving thanks to him, go to thy father, and kiss him.
8 Asperge fel piscisin oculis eius; et detrahet medicamentum et decoriabit albugines de oculis eius.Et respiciet pater tuus et videbit lumen ”.	8 And immediately anoint his eyes with this gall of the fish, which thou carriest with thee. For be assured that his eyes shall be presently opened, and thy father shall see the light of heaven, and shall rejoice in the sight of thee.
9 Et occurrit ei Anna et irruitcollo filii sui et dixit illi: “ Fili, video te; amodo moriar! ”. Etlacrimata est.	9 Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran before, and coming as if he had brought the news, shewed his joy by his fawning and wagging his tail.
10 Et surrexit Thobi et offendebat pedibus et egressus est adostium atrii. Et occurrit illi Thobias,	10 And his father that was blind, rising up, began to run stumbling with his feet: and giving a servant his hand, went to meet his son.
11 et fel piscis in manu sua, etinsufflavit in oculis illius et apprehendit illum et dixit: “ Forti animoesto, pater! ”. Et iniecit medicamentum super eum et imposuit.	11 And receiving him kissed him, as did also his wife, and they began to weep for joy.
12 Etdecoriavit duabus manibus suis albugines ab angulis oculorum illius.	12 And when they had adored God, and given him thanks, they sat down together.
13 Etvidens filium suum irruit collo eius	13 Then Tobias taking of the gall of the fish, anointed his father's eyes.
14 et lacrimatus est et dixit ei: “ Videote, fili, lumen oculorum meorum! ”. Et dixit: “ Benedictus Deus, etbenedictum nomen illius magnum, et benedicti omnes sancti angeli eius in omniasaecula,	14 And he stayed about half an hour: and a white skin began to come out of his eyes, like the skin of an egg.
15 quoniam ipse flagellavit me, et ecce ego video Thobiam filium meum!”. Et introivit Thobi et Anna uxor eius in domum gaudentes et benedicentesDeum toto ore suo pro omnibus, quae sibi evenerant. Et indicavit patri suoThobias, quoniam perfecta erat via illius bene a Domino Deo, et quia attuleratpecuniam et quemadmodum acceperat Saram filiam Raguel uxorem, et quia ecce venitet ipsa in proximo est portae Nineves. Et gavisi sunt Thobi et Anna	15 And Tobias took hold of it, and drew it from his eyes, and immediately he recovered his sight.
16 etexierunt in obviam nurui suae ad portam Nineves. Et videntes Thobin, qui erantin Nineve, venientem et ambulantem cum omni virtute sua et a nemine manudeductum mirabantur,	16 And they glorified God, both he and his wife and all that knew them.
17 et confitebatur Thobi et benedicebat magna voce Deumcoram illis, quoniam misertus est illius Deus et aperuit oculos eius. Etappropinquavit Thobi ad Saram uxorem Thobiae filii sui et benedixit illi etdixit ei: “ Intres sana, filia! Et benedictus Deus tuus, qui adduxit te adnos, filia! Et benedictus pater tuus et benedictus Thobias filius meus etbenedicta tu, filia! Intra in domum tuam sana in benedictione et gaudio; intra,filia! ”. In illo die factum est gaudium omnibus Iudaeis, qui erant in Nineve.	17 And Tobias said: I bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because thou hast chastised me, and thou hast saved me: and behold I see Tobias my son.
18 Et venerunt Achicarus et Nadab ex fratribus illius gaudentes ad Thobiam. Etconsummatae sunt nuptiae cum gaudio septem diebus, et data sunt illi muneramulta.	18 And after seven days Sara his son's wife, and all the family arrived safe, and the cattle, and the camels, and an abundance of money of his wife's: and that money also which he had received of Gabelus:
	19 And he told his parents all the benefits of God, which he had done to him by the man that conducted him.
	20 And Achior and Nabath the kinsmen of Tobias came, rejoicing for Tobias, and congratulating with him for all the good things that God had done for him.
	21 And for seven days they feasted and rejoiced all with great joy.
