| 1 | And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house. | Et cum venisset in Ecbatana, dixit illi: “ Azaria frater, duc me ad Raguel, fratrem nostrum, viam rectam ”. Et duxit eum ad domum Raguel, et invenerunt illum sedentem circa ostium atrii sui et salutaverunt illum priores. Et ille dixit eis: |
| 2 | Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin! | Et dixit Ednae uxori suae: “ Quam similis est hic iuvenis Thobi fratri meo! ”. |
| 3 | And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve. | Et interrogavit illos Edna et dixit eis: “Unde estis, fratres? ”. Et dixerunt illi: “ Ex filiis Nephthali nos sumus captivis in Nineve ”. |
| 4 | Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health? | Et dixit eis: “ Nostis Thobin fratrem nostrum? ”. Et dixerunt ei: “ Novimus illum ”. Et dixit eis: “ Fortis est? ”. |
| 5 | And they said, He is both alive, and in good health: and Tobias said, He is my father. | Et dixerunt illi: “ Fortis est et vivit ”. Et Thobias dixit: “ Pater meus est ”. |
| 6 | Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept, | Et exsilivit Raguel et osculatus est illum lacrimans |
| 7 | And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept. | et dixit: “ Benedictio tibi sit, fili, boni et optimi patris fili. O infelicitas malorum, quia excaecatus est vir iustus et faciens eleemosynas! ”. Et incubuit lacrimans super collum Thobiae filii fratris sui. |
| 8 | And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak o | Et Edna uxor eius lacrimata est super eum, et Sara filia eorum lacrimata est et ipsa. |
| 9 | So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry: | Et occidit arietem ex ovibus et suscepit illos libenter. Et, postquam laverunt et se purificaverunt et discubuerunt ad cenandum, dixit Thobias ad Raphael: “ Azaria frater, dic Raguel, ut det mihi Saram sororem meam ”. |
| 10 | For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth. | Et audivit Raguel hunc sermonem et dixit puero: “ Manduca et bibe et suaviter tibi sit hac nocte. Non est enim homo, quem oporteat accipere Saram filiam meam nisi tu, frater. Similiter et mihi non licet eam dare alii viro nisi tibi, quia |
| 11 | I have given my daughter in marriage te seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another. | Tradidi illam viris septem fratribus nostris, et omnes mortui sunt nocte, cum intrabant ad eam. Et nunc, fili, manduca et bibe, et Dominus faciet in vobis ”. Et dixit Thobias: “ Hinc non edam neque bibam, donec, quae sunt ad me, confirmes |
| 12 | Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things. | Et accersivit Raguel Saram filiam suam, et accessit ad illum. Et, apprehensa manu illius, tradidit eam illi et dixit: “ Duc secundum legem et iudicium, quod scriptum est in libro Moysis dari tibi uxorem. Habe et duc ad patrem tuum sanus. |
| 13 | Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them; | Et vocavit matrem eius et praecepit afferri chartam, ut faceret conscriptionem coniugii et quemadmodum tradidit illam uxorem ei secundum iudicium legis Moysis. Et attulit mater illius chartam, et ille scripsit et signavit. |
| 14 | And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it. | Et ex illa hora coeperunt manducare et bibere. |
| 15 | Then they began to eat. | Et vocavit Raguel Ednam uxorem suam et dixit illi: “ Soror, praepara cubiculum aliud et introduc eam illuc ”. |
| 16 | After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither. | Et abiens stravit, sicut illi dixit, et introduxit eam illuc et lacrimata est causa illius et extersit lacrimas et dixit illi: |
| 17 | Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her, | “ Forti animo esto, filia. Dominus caeli det tibi gaudium pro taedio tuo. Forti animo esto! ”. Et exiit. |
| 18 | Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter. |
