Tobia 14

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Et consummati sunt sermones confessionis Thobis. Et mortuus est in pace annorum centum duodecim et sepultus est praeclare inNineve.	1 And the words of Tobias were ended. And after Tobias was restored to his sight, he lived two and forty years, and saw the children of his grandchildren.
2 Sexaginta autem et duorum annorum erat, cum invalidus oculis factusest; et, postquam lucem recepit, vixit in bonis et fecit eleemosynas etproposuit benedicere Deum et confiteri magnitudini Dei.	2 And after he had lived a hundred and two years, he was buried honourably in Ninive.
3 Et, cum moreretur,vocavit Thobiam filium suum et praecepit illi dicens: “ Fili, duc filios tuos	3 For he was six and fifty years old when he lost the sight of his eyes, and sixty when he recovered it again.
4 et recurre in Mediam, quoniam credo ego verbo Dei, quod locutus est Nahum inNineven, quia omnia erunt et venient super Assyriam et Nineven, quae locuti suntprophetae Israel, quos misit Deus; omnia evenient, nihilque minuetur ex omnibusverbis, sed omnia contingent temporibus suis. Et in Media erit salus magis quamin Assyriis et quam in Babylone, quia scio ego et credo quoniam omnia, quaedixit Deus, erunt. Et perficientur, et non excidet verbum de sermonibus. Etfratres nostri, qui habitant in terra Israel, omnes dispergentur et captividucentur a terra optima. Et erit omnis terra Israel deserta, et Samaria etIerusalem erit deserta, et domus Dei in tristitia erit et incendetur et eritdeserta usque in tempus.	4 And the rest of his life was in joy, and with great increase of the fear of God he departed in peace.
5 Et iterum misericordiam faciet illorum Deus etconvertetur ad illos Deus in terram Israel, et iterum aedificabunt domum, sednon sicut prius, quoadusque repleatur tempus maledictionum. Et postearevertentur a captivitate sua omnes et aedificabunt Ierusalem honorifice, etdomus Dei aedificabitur in ea, sicut locuti sunt de illa omnes prophetae Israel.	5 And at the hour of his death he called unto him his son Tobias and his children, seven young men, his grandsons, and said to them:
6 Et omnes nationes in tota terra convertentur et timebunt Deum vere etrelinquent omnes idola sua, quae seducunt false seductione eorum.	6 The destruction of Ninive is at hand: for the word of the Lord must be fulfilled: and our brethren, that are scattered abroad from the land of Israel, shall return to it.
7 Etbenedicent Deo aeterno in iustitia. Omnes filii Israel, qui liberabuntur indiebus illis, memores Dei in veritate, colligentur et venient in Ierusalem ethabitabunt in aeternum in terra Abraham cum tutela, et tradetur eis. Etgaudebunt, qui diligunt Deum in veritate; qui autem faciunt iniquitatem etpeccatum, deficient de terris omnibus.	7 And all the land thereof that is desert shall be filled with people, and the house of God which is burnt in it, shall again be rebuilt: and all that fear God shall return thither.
8 Et nunc, filii, mando vobis: ServiteDeo in veritate et facite coram illo, quod ipsi placet. Et filiis vestrismandabitur, ut faciant iustitias et eleemosynam et ut sint memores Dei etbenedicant nomini ipsius in omni tempore in veritate et in tota virtute sua.	8 And the Gentiles shall leave their idols, and shall come into Jerusalem, and shall dwell in it.
9 Nunc vero, fili, exi a Nineve et noli manere hic,	9 And all the kings of the earth shall rejoice in it, adoring the King of Israel.
10 sed, quocumque diesepelieris matrem tuam circa me, eodem die noli manere in finibus eius. Videoenim quia multa iniquitas est in illa, et fictio multa perficitur in illa, etnon confunduntur. Vide, fili, quae fecit Nadab Achicaro, qui eum nutrivit. Nonnevivus deductus est in terram? Sed tradidit Deus infamiam ante faciem ipsius, etAchicarus exiit ad lucem, Nadab autem intravit in tenebras aeternas, quiaquaesivit occidere Achicarum. Cum faciebat eleemosynam, exiit de laqueo mortis,quem fixerat ei Nadab, et Nadab cecidit in laqueum mortis, et perdidit illum.	10 Hearken therefore, my children, to your father: serve the Lord in truth, and seek to do the things that please him:
11 Et nunc, filii, videte quid faciat eleemosyna, et quid faciat iniquitas, quoniamoccidit. Et ecce anima mea deficit! ”. Et posuerunt eum super lectum, etmortuus est et sepultus est praeclare.	11 And command your children that they do justice and almsdeeds, and that they be mindful of God, and bless him at all times in truth, and with all their power.
12 Et, cum mortua est mater eius, Thobias sepelivit eam iuxta patrem suum etabiit ipse et uxor eius in Mediam et habitavit in Ecbatanis cum Raguel socerosuo.	12 And now, children, hear me, and do not stay here: but as soon as you shall bury your mother by me in one sepulchre, without delay direct your steps to depart hence:
13 Et curam habuit senectutis eorum honorifice et sepelivit illos inEcbatanis Mediae et hereditatem percepit domus Raguel et Thobis patris sui.	13 For I see that its iniquity will bring it to destruction.
14 Et mortuus est annorum centum decem et septem cum claritate.	14 And it came to pass that after the death of his mother, Tobias departed out of Ninive with his wife, and children, and children's children, and returned to his father and mother in law.
15 Et, antequammoreretur, vidit et audivit perditionem Nineves et vidit captivitatem illius inMediam adductam, quam adduxit Asuerus rex Mediae, et benedixit Deum in omnibus,quae fecit filiis Nineves et Assyriae. Et gavisus est, antequam moreretur, inNineve, et benedixit Dominum Deum in omnia saecula saeculorum.	15 And he found them in health in a good old age: and he took care of them, and he closed their eyes: and all the inheritance of Raguel's house came to him: and he saw his children's children to the fifth generation.
	16 And after he had lived ninety-nine years in the fear of the Lord, with joy they buried him.
	17 And all his kindred, and all his generation continued in good life, and in holy conversation, so that they were acceptable both to God, and to men, and to all that dwelt in the land.
