GREEK BIBLENEW JERUSALEM
1 και εκαλεσεν τωβιας τον ραφαηλ και ειπεν αυτω1 Then Tobias turned to Raphael.
2 αζαρια αδελφε λαβε μετα σεαυτου παιδα και δυο καμηλους και πορευθητι εν ραγοις της μηδιας παρα γαβαηλ και κομισαι μοι το αργυριον και αυτον αγε εις τον γαμον2 'Brother Azarias,' he said, 'take four servants and two camels and leave for Rhages.
3 διοτι ομωμοκεν ραγουηλ μη εξελθειν με3 Go to Gabael's house, give him the receipt and see about the money; then invite him to come with youto my wedding feast.
4 και ο πατηρ μου αριθμει τας ημερας και εαν χρονισω μεγα οδυνηθησεται λιαν4 You know that my father must be counting the days and that I cannot lose a single one without worryinghim.
5 και επορευθη ραφαηλ και ηυλισθη παρα γαβαηλω και εδωκεν αυτω το χειρογραφον ος δε προηνεγκεν τα θυλακια εν ταις σφραγισιν και εδωκεν αυτω5 You see what Raguel has pledged himself to do; I am bound by his oath.' So Raphael left for Rhages inMedia with the four servants and two camels. They stayed with Gabael, and Raphael showed him the receipt.He told him about the marriage of Tobias son of Tobit and gave him his invitation to the wedding feast. Gabaelstarted counting out the sacks to him -- the seals were intact -- and they loaded them on to the camels.
6 και ωρθρευσαν κοινως και ηλθοσαν εις τον γαμον και ευλογησεν τωβιας την γυναικα αυτου6 Early in the morning they set off together for the feast, and reached Raguel's house where they foundTobias dining. He rose to greet Gabael, who burst into tears and blessed him with the words, 'Excellent son of afather beyond reproach, just and generous in his dealings! The Lord give heaven's blessing to you, to your wife,to your wife's father and mother! Blessed be God for granting me the sight of this living image of my cousinTobit!'
