1 Καὶ ἐπαύσατο ἐξομολογούμενος Τωβίτ. Καὶ ἦν ἐτῶν πεντηκονταοκτὼ,
·
1 Then Tobit finished giving thanks.
2 ὅτε ἀπώλεσε τὰς ὄψεις, καὶ μετὰ ἔτη ὀκτὼ ἀνέβλεψε· καὶ ἐποίει ἐλεημοσύνας· καὶ προσέθετο φοβεῖσθαι Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ ἐξωμολογεῖτο αὐτῷ.
·
2 He was fifty-eight years old when he lost his sight. After eight years, he received it again. He gave alms and he feared the Lord God more and more, and gave thanks to him.
3 Μεγάλως δὲ ἐγήρασε· καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τέκνον, λάβε τοὺς υἱούς σου, ἰδοὺ γεγήρακα, καὶ πρὸς τὸ ἀποτρέχειν ἐκ τοῦ ζῇν εἰμι.
·
3 Now he grew very old; and he called his son with the six sons of his son, and said to him, “My child, take your sons. Behold, I have grown old, and am ready to depart out of this life.
4 Ἄπελθε εἰς τὴν Μηδίαν, τέκνον, ὅτι πέπεισμαι ὅσα ἐλάλησεν Ἰωνὰς ὁ προφήτης περὶ Νινευὴ, ὅτι καταστραφήσεται· ἐν δὲ τῇ Μηδίᾳ ἔσται εἰρήνη μᾶλλον ἕως καιροῦ· καὶ ὅτι οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ γῇ σκορπισθήσονται ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγαθῆς γῆς· καὶ Ἱεροσόλυμα ἔσται ἔρημος, καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῇ κατακαήσεται, καὶ ἔρημος ἔσται μέχρι χρόνου.
·
4 Go into Media, my child, for I surely believe all the things which Jonah the prophet spoke of Nineveh, that it will be overthrown, but in Media there will rather be peace for a season. Our kindred will be scattered on the earth from the good land. Jerusalem will be desolate, and the house of God in it will be burned up, and will be desolate for a time.
5 Καὶ πάλιν ἐλεήσει αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν, καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσι τὸν οἶκον, οὐχ οἷος ὁ πρότερος, ἕως πληρωθῶσι καιροὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἐκ τῶν αἰχμαλωσιῶν, καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐντίμως· καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῇ οἰκοδομηθήσεται ἐνδόξως, καθὼς ἐλάλησαν περὶ αὐτῆς οἱ προφῆται.
·
5 God will again have mercy on them, and bring them back into the land, and they will build the house, but not like to the former house, until the times of that age are fulfilled. Afterward they will return from the places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem with honor. The house of God will be built in it forever with a glorious building, even as the prophets spoke concerning it.
6 Καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἀληθινῶς φοβεῖσθαι Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν, καὶ κατορύξουσι τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτῶν,
·
6 And all the nations will turn to fear the Lord God truly, and will bury their idols.
7 καὶ εὐλογήσουσι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη Κύριον· καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐξομολογήσεται τῷ Θεῷ· καὶ ὑψώσει Κύριος τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ χαρήσονται πάντες οἱ ἀγαπῶντες Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ, ποιοῦντες ἔλεος τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ἡμῶν.
·
7 All the nations will bless the Lord, and his people will give thanks to God, and the Lord will exalt his people; and all those who love the Lord God in truth and righteousness will rejoice, showing mercy to our kindred.
8 Καὶ νῦν, τέκνον, ἄπελθε ἀπὸ Νινευὴ, ὅτι πάντως ἔσται ἃ ἐλάλησεν ὁ προφήτης Ἰωνάς.
·
8 And now, my child, depart from Nineveh, because those things which the prophet Jonah spoke will surely come to pass.
9 Σὺ δὲ τήρησον τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰ προστάγματα, καὶ γενοῦ φιλελεήμων καὶ δίκαιος, ἵνα σοι καλῶς ᾖ.
·
9 But you must keep the law and the ordinances, and show yourself merciful and righteous, that it may be well with you.
10 Καὶ θάψον με καλῶς, καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου μετʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ μηκέτι αὐλισθῆτε εἰς Νινευή· τεκνον, ἴδε τί ἐποίησεν Ἀμὰν Ἀχιαχάρῳ τῷ θρέψαντι αὐτόν, ὡς ἐκ τοῦ φωτὸς ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σκότος, καὶ ὅσα ἀνταπέδωκεν αὐτῷ· καὶ Ἀχιάχαρον μὲν ἔσωσεν, ἐκείνῳ δὲ τὸ ἀνταπόδομα ἀπεδόθη, καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβη εἰς τὸ σκότος. Μανασσῆς ἐποίησεν ἐλεημοσύνην, καὶ ἐσώθη ἐκ παγίδος θανάτου ἧς ἔπηξεν αὐτῷ· Ἀμὰν δὲ ἐνέπεσεν εἰς τὴν παγίδα, καὶ ἀπώλετο.
·
10 Bury me decently, and your mother with me. Don’t stay at Nineveh. See, my child, what Aman did to Achiacharus who nourished him, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and all the recompense that he made him. Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his recompense, and he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snare of death which he set for him; but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.
11 Καὶ νῦν, παιδία, ἴδετε τί ἐλεημοσύνη ποιεῖ, καὶ δικαιοσύνη ῥύεται· καὶ ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λέγοντος, ἐξέλιπεν ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης· ἦν δὲ ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν πεντηκονταοκτώ· καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐνδόξως.
·
11 And now, my children, consider what alms does, and how righteousness delivers.” While he was saying these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed; but he was one hundred fifty eight years old. Tobias buried him magnificently.
12 Καὶ ὅτε ἀπέθανεν Ἄννα, ἔθαψεν αὐτὴν μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ. Ἀπῆλθε δὲ Τωβίας μετὰ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἐκβάτανα πρὸς Ῥαγουὴλ τὸν πενθερὸν αὐτοῦ,
·
12 When Anna died, he buried her with his father. But Tobias departed with his wife and his sons to Ecbatana to Raguel his father-in-law,
13 καὶ ἐγήρασεν ἐντίμως· καὶ ἔθαψε τοὺς πενθεροὺς αὐτοῦ ἐνδόξως, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησε τὴν οὐσίαν, καὶ Τωβὶτ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.
·
13 and he grew old in honor, and he buried his father-in-law and mother-in-law magnificently, and he inherited their possessions, and his father Tobit’s.
14 καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν εἱκοσιεπτὰ ἐν Ἐκβατάνοις τῆς Μηδίας.
·
14 He died at Ecbatana of Media, being one hundred twenty seven years old.
15 Καὶ ἤκουσε πρὶνὴ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτὸν, τὴν ἀπώλειαν Νινευὴ, ἣν ᾐχμαλώτισεν Ναβουχοδονόσορ, καὶ Ἀσύηρος, καὶ ἐχάρη πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν ἐπὶ Νινευή.
·
15 Before he died, he heard of the destruction of Nineveh, which Nebuchadnezzar and Ahasuerus took captive. Before his death, he rejoiced over Nineveh.
