Thobis 14

VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Et consummati sunt sermones Tobiæ. Et postquam illuminatus est Tobias, vixit annis quadraginta duobus, et vidit filios nepotum suorum.	1 So Tobit made an end of praising God.
2 Completis itaque annis centum duobus, sepultus est honorifice in Ninive.	2 And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him.
3 Quinquaginta namque et sex annorum lumen oculorum amisit, sexagenarius vero recepit.	3 And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.
4 Reliquum vero vitæ suæ in gaudio fuit, et cum bono profectu timoris Dei perrexit in pace.	4 Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media; and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;
5 In hora autem mortis suæ vocavit ad se Tobiam filium suum, et septem juvenes filios ejus nepotes suos, dixitque eis :	5 And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.
6 Prope erit interitus Ninive : non enim excidit verbum Domini : et fratres nostri, qui dispersi sunt a terra Israël, revertentur ad eam.	6 And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God truly, and shall bury their idols.
7 Omnis autem deserta terra ejus replebitur, et domus Dei, quæ in ea incensa est, iterum reædificabitur : ibique revertentur omnes timentes Deum,	7 So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.
8 et relinquent gentes idola sua, et venient in Jerusalem, et inhabitabunt in ea :	8 And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass.
9 et gaudebunt in ea omnes reges terræ, adorantes regem Israël.	9 But keep thou the law and the commandments, and shew thyself merciful and just, that it may go well with thee.
10 Audite ergo, filii mei, patrem vestrum : servite Domino in veritate, et inquirite ut faciatis quæ placita sunt illi :	10 And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.
11 et filiis vestris mandate ut faciant justitias et eleemosynas, ut sint memores Dei, et benedicant eum in omni tempore in veritate, et in tota virtute sua.	11 Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.
12 Nunc ergo filii, audite me, et nolite manere hic : sed quacumque die sepelieritis matrem vestram circa me in uno sepulchro, ex eo dirigite gressus vestros ut exeatis hinc :	12 And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with his father. But Tobias departed with his wife and children to Ecbatane to Raguel his father in law,
13 video enim quia iniquitas ejus finem dabit ei.	13 Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit's.
14 Factum est autem post obitum matris suæ, Tobias abscessit ex Ninive cum uxore sua, et filiis, et filiorum filiis, et reversus est ad soceros suos :	14 And he died at Ecbatane in Media, being an hundred and seven and twenty years old.
15 invenitque eos incolumes in senectute bona : et curam eorum gessit, et ipse clausit oculos eorum : et omnem hæreditatem domus Raguelis ipse percepit : viditque quintam generationem, filios filiorum suorum.	15 But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.
16 Et completis annis nonaginta novem in timore Domini, cum gaudio sepelierunt eum.
17 Omnis autem cognatio ejus et omnis generatio ejus in bona vita et in sancta conversatione permansit, ita ut accepti essent tam Deo quam hominibus, et cunctis habitantibus in terra.
