NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Et scripsit orationem Thobi in laetitiam et dixit:	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.
2 “ Benedictus Deus vivens in aevum, et regnum illius, quia ipse flagellat et miseretur, deducit usque ad inferos deorsum et reducit a perditione maiestate sua, et non est qui effugiat manum eius.	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.
3 Confitemini illi, filii Israel, coramnationibus, quia ipse dispersit vos in illis	3 Confess to the Lord, O sons of Israel, and praise him in the sight of the nations.
4 et ibi ostendit maiestatem suam. Et exaltate illum coram omni vivente, quoniam Dominus noster, et ipse est pater noster, et ipse est Deus noster in omnia saecula.	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.
5 Flagellabit vos ob iniquitates vestras et omnium miserebitur vestrum et colliget vos ab omnibus nationibus, ubicumque dispersi fueritis.	5 He has chastised us because of our iniquities, and he will save us because of his mercy.
6 Cum conversi fueritis ad illum in toto corde vestro et in tota anima vestra, ut faciatis coram illo veritatem, tunc revertetur ad vos et non abscondet a vobis faciem suam amplius. Et nunc aspicite, quae fecit vobiscum, et confitemini illi in toto ore vestro. Benedicite Dominum iustitiae et exaltate regem saeculorum. Ego in terra captivitatis meae confiteor illi et ostendo virtutem et maiestatem eius genti peccatorum. Convertimini, peccatores, et facite iustitiam coram illo. Quis scit, si velit vos et faciat vobis misericordiam?	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.
7 Ego et anima mea regi caeli laetationes dicimus, et anima mea laetabitur omnibus diebus vitae suae.	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.
8 Benedicite Dominum, omnes electi; et omnes, laudate maiestatem illius. Agitedies laetitiae et confitemini illi.	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.
9 Ierusalem, civitas sancta, flagellabit te in operibus manuum tuarum.	9 But I and my soul will rejoice in him.
10 Confitere Domino in bono opere et benedic regem saeculorum, ut iterum tabernaculum tuum aedificetur in te cum gaudio, et laetos faciat in te omnes captivos et diligat in te omnes miseros in omniasaecula saeculorum.	10 Bless the Lord, all you his elect. Keep days of rejoicing, and confess to him.
11 Lux splendida fulgebit in omnibus finibus terrae; nationes multae venient tibi ex longinquo et a novissimis partibus terrae ad nomen sanctum tuum et munera sua in manibus suis habentes regi caeli. Generationes generationum dabunt in te laetitiam, et nomen electae erit in saecula saeculorum.	11 O Jerusalem, the city of God, the Lord has chastised you for the works of your hands.
12 Maledicti omnes, qui dixerint verbum durum. Maledicti erunt omnes, qui deponunt te et destruunt muros tuos, et omnes, qui subvertunt turres tuas et qui incendunt habitationes tuas. Etbenedicti erunt omnes, qui timent te in aevum.	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.
13 Tunc gaude et laetare in filiis iustorum, quoniam omnes colligentur et benedicent Domino aeterno.	13 You will shine with a splendid light, and all the ends of the earth will adore by you.
14 Felices, qui diligunt te, et felices, qui gaudebunt in pace tua. Et beati omnes homines, qui contristabuntur in omnibus flagellis tuis, quoniam in te gaudebunt et videbunt omne gaudium tuum in aeternum.	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.
15 Anima mea, benedic Domino, regi magno,	15 For they will invoke the Great Name in you.
16 quia in Ierusalem civitate aedificabitur domus illius in omnia saecula. Felix ero, si fuerint reliquiae seminis mei ad videndam claritatem tuam et confitendum regi caeli. Ostia Ierusalem sapphiro et smaragdo aedificabuntur, et lapide pretioso omnes muri tui; et turres Ierusalem auro aedificabuntur, et propugnacula eius auro mundo.	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.
17 Plateae Ierusalem carbunculo sternentur et lapide Ophir;	17 But you will rejoice in your sons, because they will all be blessed, and they will be gathered together for the Lord.
18 et ostia Ierusalem cantica laetitiae dicent, et omnes vici eius loquentur: “Alleluia. Benedictus Deus Israel, et benedicti, qui benedicent nomen sanctum, in aeternum et adhuc!” ”.	18 Blessed are all those who love you and who rejoice in your peace.
	19 Bless the Lord, O my soul, for the Lord our God has freed Jerusalem, his city, from every one of her tribulations.

	22 All its streets will be paved with stones, white and clean. And ‘Alleluia’ will be sung throughout its neighborhoods.
	23 Blessed be the Lord, who has exalted it, and may he reign over it, forever and ever. Amen.”
