NOVA VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Et consummati sunt sermones confessionis Thobis. Et mortuus est in pace annorum centum duodecim et sepultus est praeclare inNineve.	1 And the sermon of Tobit was completed. And after Tobit received his sight, he lived forty-two years, and he saw the sons 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 so, having completed one hundred and two years, he was buried honorably at Nineveh.
3 Et, cum moreretur,vocavit Thobiam filium suum et praecepit illi dicens: “ Fili, duc filios tuos	3 For he was fifty-six years old, when he lost the light of his eyes, and he was sixty years old, when he truly received 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, in truth, the remainder of his life was in gladness. And so, with the good accomplishment 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 But, in the hour of his death, he called to himself his son Tobias, along with his sons, the seven youths who were his grandsons, and he 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 “Nineveh will pass away soon. For the word of the Lord goes forward, and our brothers, who have been dispersed away 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 Thus its deserted land will be entirely filled again. And the house of God, which was burned like incense within it, will be rebuilt again. And all those who fear God will return there.
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 will relinquish their idols, and they will enter into Jerusalem, and they will dwell in it.
9 Nunc vero, fili, exi a Nineve et noli manere hic,	9 And all the kings of the earth will 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 Therefore, my sons, listen 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 sons, so that they may accomplish justice and almsgiving, and so that they may be mindful of God and may bless him at all times, in truth and with all their strength.
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, sons, listen to me, and do not remain here. But, on whatever day you will bury your mother near me in one sepulcher, from that time, direct your steps to leave this place.
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 about its end.”
14 Et mortuus est annorum centum decem et septem cum claritate.	14 And it happened that, after the death of his mother, Tobias withdrew from Nineveh, with his wife, and sons, and sons of sons, and he was returned to his father-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 unharmed in a good old age. And he took care of them, and he closed their eyes. And all the inheritance of the house of Raguel passed to him. And he saw the sons of his sons to the fifth generation.
	16 And, having completed ninety-nine years in the fear of the Lord, with joy, they buried him.
	17 But all his family and all his lineage continued with a good life and in holy conversation, so that they were acceptable both to God and to men, as well as to everyone who dwelt in the land.
