Thobis 11

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Cumque reverterentur, pervenerunt ad Charan, quæ est in medio itinere contra Niniven, undecimo die.	1 After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve.
2 Dixitque angelus : Tobia frater, scis quemadmodum reliquisti patrem tuum.	2 Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father:
3 Si placet itaque tibi, præcedamus, et lento gradu sequantur iter nostrum familiæ, simul cum conjuge tua, et cum animalibus.	3 Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house.
4 Cumque hoc placuisset ut irent, dixit Raphaël ad Tobiam : Tolle tecum ex felle piscis : erit enim necessarium. Tulit itaque Tobias ex felle illo, et abierunt.	4 And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
5 Anna autem sedebat secus viam quotidie in supercilio montis, unde respicere poterat de longinquo.	5 Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.
6 Et dum ex eodem loco specularetur adventum ejus, vidit a longe, et illico agnovit venientem filium suum : currensque nuntiavit viro suo, dicens : Ecce venit filius tuus.	6 And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.
7 Dixitque Raphaël ad Tobiam : At ubi introieris domum tuam, statim adora Dominum Deum tuum : et gratias agens ei, accede ad patrem tuum, et osculare eum.	7 Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.
8 Statimque lini super oculos ejus ex felle isto piscis, quod portas tecum : scias enim quoniam mox aperientur oculi ejus, et videbit pater tuus lumen cæli, et in aspectu tuo gaudebit.	8 Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.
9 Tunc præcucurrit canis, qui simul fuerat in via : et quasi nuntius adveniens, blandimento suæ caudæ gaudebat.	9 Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.
10 Et consurgens cæcus pater ejus, cœpit offendens pedibus currere : et data manu puero, occurrit obviam filio suo.	10 Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,
11 Et suscipiens osculatus est eum cum uxore sua, et cœperunt ambo flere præ gaudio.	11 And took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his fathers' eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.
12 Cumque adorassent Deum, et gratias egissent, consederunt.	12 And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;
13 Tunc sumens Tobias de felle piscis, linivit oculos patris sui.	13 And the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.
14 Et sustinuit quasi dimidiam fere horam : et cœpit albugo ex oculis ejus, quasi membrana ovi, egredi.	14 And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy angels:
15 Quam apprehendens Tobias, traxit ab oculis ejus : statimque visum recepit.	15 For thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.
16 Et glorificabant Deum, ipse videlicet et uxor ejus, et omnes qui sciebant eum.	16 Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.
17 Dicebatque Tobias : Benedico te, Domine Deus Israël, quia tu castigasti me, et tu salvasti me : et ecce ego video Tobiam filium meum.	17 But Tobias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.
18 Ingressa est etiam post septem dies Sara uxor filii ejus et omnis familia sana, et pecora, et cameli, et pecunia multa uxoris ; sed et illa pecunia, quam receperat a Gabelo.	18 And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother's son, came:
19 Et narravit parentibus suis omnia beneficia Dei, quæ fecisset circa eum per hominem qui eum duxerat.
20 Veneruntque Achior et Nabath consobrini Tobiæ gaudentes ad Tobiam, et congratulantes ei de omnibus bonis quæ circa illum ostenderat Deus.
21 Et per septem dies epulantes, omnes cum gaudio magno gavisi sunt.
