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 Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father:
3 Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house.
4 And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
5 Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.
6 And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.
7 Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.
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 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 Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,
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 And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;
13 And the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.
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 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 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 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 And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother’s son, came:
19 And Tobias’ wedding was kept seven days with great joy.
1 Καὶ ὡς ἤγγισαν εἰς Κασεριν, ἥ ἐστιν κατέναντι Νινευη, εἶπεν Ραφαηλ 2 Σὺ γινώσκεις πῶς ἀφήκαμεν τὸν πατέρα σου· 3 προδράμωμεν τῆς γυναικός σου καὶ ἑτοιμάσωμεν τὴν οἰκίαν, ἐν ᾧ ἔρχονται. 4 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀμφότεροι κοινῶς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Λαβὲ μετὰ χεῖρας τὴν χολήν. καὶ συνῆλθεν αὐτοῖς ὁ κύων ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ Τωβια. 5 καὶ Αννα ἐκάθητο περιβλεπομένη τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς· 6 καὶ προσενόησεν αὐτὸν ἐρχόμενον καὶ εἶπεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός σου ἔρχεται καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ πορευθεὶς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ. 7 καὶ Ραφαηλ εἶπεν Τωβια πρὸ τοῦ ἐγγίσαι αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα Ἐπίσταμαι ὅτι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀνεῳχθήσονται· 8 ἔμπλασον τὴν χολὴν τοῦ ἰχθύος εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποστύψει τὸ φάρμακον καὶ ἀπολεπίσει τὰ λευκώματα ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀναβλέψει ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ ὄψεται τὸ φῶς. 9 καὶ ἀνέδραμεν Αννα καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἶδόν σε, παιδίον· ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἀποθανοῦμαι. καὶ ἔκλαυσεν. 10 καὶ ἀνέστη Τωβις καὶ προσέκοπτεν τοῖς ποσὶν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν τὴν θύραν τῆς αὐλῆς, 11 καὶ ἐβάδισεν Τωβιας πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἡ χολὴ τοῦ ἰχθύος ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνεφύσησεν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλάβετο αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν Θάρσει, πάτερ· καὶ ἐπέβαλεν τὸ φάρμακον ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπέδωκεν. 12 καὶ ἀπελέπισεν ἑκατέραις ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν κανθῶν τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ. 13 καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἶδόν σε, τέκνον τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου. 14 καὶ εἶπεν Εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεός, καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομα τὸ μέγα αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὐλογημένοι πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι οἱ ἅγιοι αὐτοῦ· γένοιτο τὸ ὄνομα τὸ μέγα αὐτοῦ ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς, καὶ εὐλογητοὶ πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι εἰς πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας· ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐμαστίγωσέν με, καὶ ἰδοὺ βλέπω Τωβιαν τὸν υἱόν μου. 15 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Τωβιας χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν θεὸν ἐν ὅλῳ τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέδειξεν Τωβιας τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι εὐοδώθη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅτι ἐνήνοχεν ἀργύριον, καὶ ὡς ἔλαβεν Σαρραν τὴν θυγατέρα Ραγουηλ γυναῖκα, καὶ ὅτι ἰδοὺ παραγίνεται καὶ ἔστιν σύνεγγυς τῆς πύλης Νινευη.
16 Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Τωβιθ εἰς ἀπάντησιν τῆς νύμφης αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν θεὸν πρὸς τὴν πύλην Νινευη· καὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν οἱ ἐν Νινευη πορευόμενον καὶ διαβαίνοντα αὐτὸν πάσῃ τῇ ἰσχύι αὐτοῦ καὶ ὑπὸ μηδενὸς χειραγωγούμενον ἐθαύμασαν, καὶ Τωβιθ ἐξωμολογεῖτο ἐναντίον αὐτῶν ὅτι ἠλέησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεὸς καὶ ὅτι ἤνοιξεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ. 17 καὶ ἤγγισεν Τωβιθ Σαρρα τῇ γυναικὶ Τωβια τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Εἰσέλθοις ὑγιαίνουσα, θύγατερ, καὶ εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεός σου, ὃς ἤγαγέν σε πρὸς ἡμᾶς, θύγατερ· καὶ εὐλογημένος ὁ πατήρ σου, καὶ εὐλογημένος Τωβιας ὁ υἱός μου, καὶ εὐλογημένη σύ, θύγατερ· εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν σου ὑγιαίνουσα ἐν εὐλογίᾳ καὶ χαρᾷ, εἴσελθε, θύγατερ. 18 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ ἐγένετο χαρὰ πᾶσιν τοῖς Ιουδαίοις τοῖς οὖσιν ἐν Νινευη. 19 καὶ παρεγένοντο Αχικαρ καὶ Ναβαδ οἱ ἐξάδελφοι αὐτοῦ χαίροντες πρὸς Τωβιν.
