ΤΩΒΙΤ - Tobia - Tobit 12

LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και εκαλεσεν τωβιτ τωβιαν τον υιον αυτου και ειπεν αυτω ορα τεκνον μισθον τω ανθρωπω τω συνελθοντι σοι και προσθειναι αυτω δει	1 Then Tobias called to him his son, and said to him: What can we give to this holy man, that is come with thee?
2 και ειπεν αυτω πατερ ου βλαπτομαι δους αυτω το ημισυ ων ενηνοχα	2 Tobias answering, said to his father: Father, what wages shall we give him? or what can be worthy of his benefits?
3 οτι με αγειοχεν σοι υγιη και την γυναικα μου εθεραπευσεν και το αργυριον μου ηνεγκεν και σε ομοιως εθεραπευσεν	3 He conducted me and brought me safe again, he received the money of Gabelus, he caused me to have my wife, and he chased from her the evil spirit, he gave joy to her parents, myself he delivered from being devoured by the fish, thee also he hath made to see the light of heaven, and we are filled with all good things through him. What can we give him sufficient for these things?
4 και ειπεν ο πρεσβυτης δικαιουται αυτω	4 But I beseech thee, my father, to desire him, that he would vouchsafe to accept one half of all things that have been brought.
5 και εκαλεσεν τον αγγελον και ειπεν αυτω λαβε το ημισυ παντων ων ενηνοχατε	5 So the father and the son, calling him, took him aside: and began to desire him that he would vouchsafe to accept of half of all things that they had brought.
6 τοτε καλεσας τους δυο κρυπτως ειπεν αυτοις ευλογειτε τον θεον και αυτω εξομολογεισθε μεγαλωσυνην διδοτε αυτω και εξομολογεισθε ενωπιον παντων των ζωντων περι ων εποιησεν μεθ' υμων αγαθον το ευλογειν τον θεον και υψουν το ονομα αυτου τους λογους των εργων του θεου εντιμως υποδεικνυοντες και μη οκνειτε εξομολογεισθαι αυτω	6 Then he said to them secretly: Bless ye the God of heaven, give glory to him in the sight of all that live, because he hath shewn his mercy to you.
7 μυστηριον βασιλεως καλον κρυψαι τα δε εργα του θεου ανακαλυπτειν ενδοξως αγαθον ποιησατε και κακον ουχ ευρησει υμας	7 For it is good to hide the secret of a king: but honourable to reveal and confess the works of God.
8 αγαθον προσευχη μετα νηστειας και ελεημοσυνης και δικαιοσυνης αγαθον το ολιγον μετα δικαιοσυνης η πολυ μετα αδικιας καλον ποιησαι ελεημοσυνην η θησαυρισαι χρυσιον	8 Prayer is good with fasting and alms more than to lay up treasures of gold:
9 ελεημοσυνη γαρ εκ θανατου ρυεται και αυτη αποκαθαριει πασαν αμαρτιαν οι ποιουντες ελεημοσυνας και δικαιοσυνας πλησθησονται ζωης	9 For alms delivereth from death, and the same is that which purgeth away sins, and maketh to find mercy and life everlasting.
10 οι δε αμαρτανοντες πολεμιοι εισιν της εαυτων ζωης	10 But they that commit sin and iniquity, are enemies to their own soul.
11 ου μη κρυψω αφ' υμων παν ρημα ειρηκα δη μυστηριον βασιλεως κρυψαι καλον τα δε εργα του θεου ανακαλυπτειν ενδοξως	11 I discover then the truth unto you, and I will not hide the secret from you.
12 και νυν οτε προσηυξω συ και η νυμφη σου σαρρα εγω προσηγαγον το μνημοσυνον της προσευχης υμων ενωπιον του αγιου και οτε εθαπτες τους νεκρους ωσαυτως συμπαρημην σοι	12 When thou didst pray with tears, and didst bury the dead, and didst leave thy dinner, and hide the dead by day in thy house, and bury them by night, I offered thy prayer to the Lord.
13 και οτε ουκ ωκνησας αναστηναι και καταλιπειν το αριστον σου οπως απελθων περιστειλης τον νεκρον ουκ ελαθες με αγαθοποιων αλλα συν σοι ημην	13 And because thou wast acceptable to God, it was necessary that temptation should prove thee.
14 και νυν απεστειλεν με ο θεος ιασασθαι σε και την νυμφην σου σαρραν	14 And now the Lord hath sent me to heal thee, and to deliver Sara thy son's wife from the devil.
15 εγω ειμι ραφαηλ εις εκ των επτα αγιων αγγελων οι προσαναφερουσιν τας προσευχας των αγιων και εισπορευονται ενωπιον της δοξης του αγιου	15 For I am the angel Raphael, one of the seven, who stand before the Lord.
16 και εταραχθησαν οι δυο και επεσον επι προσωπον οτι εφοβηθησαν	16 And when they had heard these things, they were troubled, and being seized with fear they fell upon the ground on their face.
17 και ειπεν αυτοις μη φοβεισθε ειρηνη υμιν εσται τον δε θεον ευλογειτε εις τον αιωνα	17 And the angel said to them: Peace be to you, fear not.
18 οτι ου τη εμαυτου χαριτι αλλα τη θελησει του θεου ημων ηλθον οθεν ευλογειτε αυτον εις τον αιωνα	18 For when I was with you, I was there by the will of God: bless ye him, and sing praises to him.
19 πασας τας ημερας ωπτανομην υμιν και ουκ εφαγον ουδε επιον αλλα ορασιν υμεις εθεωρειτε	19 I seemed indeed to eat and to drink with you: but I use an invisible meat and drink, which cannot be seen by men.
20 και νυν εξομολογεισθε τω θεω διοτι αναβαινω προς τον αποστειλαντα με και γραψατε παντα τα συντελεσθεντα εις βιβλιον	20 It is time therefore that I return to him that sent me: but bless ye God, and publish all his wonderful works.
21 και ανεστησαν και ουκετι ειδον αυτον	21 And when he had said these things, he was taken from their sight, and they could see him no more.
22 και εξωμολογουντο τα εργα τα μεγαλα και θαυμαστα του θεου και ως ωφθη αυτοις ο αγγελος κυριου	22 Then they lying prostrate for three hours upon their face, blessed God: and rising up, they told all his wonderful works.
