WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Then Tobias called the angel to him, whom he took to be a man, and said to him: Brother Azarias, I pray thee hearken to my words:
1 And Tobias called Raphael, and said to him,
2 If I should give myself to be thy servant I should not make a worthy return for thy care.
2 “Brother Azarias, take with you a servant and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and receive the money for me, and bring him to the wedding feast,
3 However, I beseech thee, to take with thee beasts and servants, and to go to Gabelus to Rages the city of the Medes: and to restore to him his note of hand, and receive of him the money, and desire him to come to my wedding.
3 because Raguel has sworn that I must not depart.
4 For thou knowest that my father numbereth the days: and if I stay one day more, his soul will be afflicted.
4 My father counts the days; and if I wait long, he will be very grieved.
5 And indeed thou seest how Raguel hath adjured me, whose adjuring I cannot despise.

6 Then Raphael took four of Raguel’s servants, and two camels, and went to Rages the city of the Medes: and finding Gabelus, gave him his note of hand, and received of him all the money.
6 Then they rose up early in the morning together, and came to the wedding feast. Tobias blessed his wife.
7 And he told him concerning Tobias the son of Tobias, all that had been done: and made him come with him to the wedding.
