font
NOVA VULGATANEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Tunc accersivit Thobias Ra phael et dixit illi:1 Then Tobiah called Raphael and said to him:
2 “ Azaria fra ter,adsume tecum hinc servos quattuor et camelos duos et perveni in Rages et vade adGabael et da illi chirographum et recipe pecuniam et adduc illum tecum adnuptias.2 "Brother Azariah, take along with you four servants and two camels and travel to Rages. Go to Gabael's house and give him this bond. Get the money and then bring him along with you to the wedding celebration.
3 Scis enim quoniam numerat dies pater et, si tardavero diem unum,contristabo eum valde.3 You witnessed the oath that Raguel has sworn; I cannot violate his oath."
4 Sed vides quomodo Raguel iuraverit, cuius iuramentumspernere non possum ”.4 For you know that my father is counting the days. If I should delay my return by a single day, I would cause him intense grief.
5 Et abiit Raphael et quattuor pueri et duo cameli inRages Mediae, et manserunt penes Gabael, et dedit illi Raphael chirographum eiuset indicavit illi de Thobia filio Thobis quoniam accepit uxorem filiam Raguel etquia rogat illum ad nuptias. Et surrexit Gabael et protulit folles cum sigillissuis et numeravit pecuniam et composuit supra camelos.5 So Raphael, together with the four servants and two camels, traveled to Rages in Media, where they stayed at Gabael's house. Raphael gave Gabael his bond and told him about Tobit's son Tobiah, and that he had married and was inviting him to the wedding celebration. Gabael promptly checked over the sealed moneybags, and they placed them on the camels.
6 Et vigilaverunt simulet venerunt ad nuptias et intraverunt in ea, quae Raguel, et invenerunt Thobiamdiscumbentem. Et exsiliit et salutavit illum et lacrimatus est et benedixit eumet dixit illi Gabael: “ Benedictus Dominus, qui dedit tibi pacem, quoniam boniet optimi et iusti viri et eleemosynas facientis filius es! Det tibibenedictionem Dominus caeli et uxori tuae et patri tuo et matri tuae et patri etmatri uxoris tuae. Et benedictus Deus, quoniam video Thobiam consobrinum meumsimilem illi! ”.
6 The following morning they got an early start and traveled to the wedding celebration. When they entered Raguel's house, they found Tobiah reclining at table. He sprang up and greeted Gabael, who wept and blessed him, exclaiming: "O noble and good child, son of a noble and good, upright and charitable man, may the Lord grant heavenly blessing to you and to your wife, and to your wife's father and mother. Blessed be God, because I have seen the very image of my cousin Tobit!"
