Tobit 7 Clementine Vulgate
1 Ingressi sunt autem ad Raguelem, et suscepit eos Raguel cum gaudio.
1 They came to Ecbatana, and arrived at the house of Raguel. But Sarah met them; and she greeted them, and they her. Then she brought them into the house.
2 Intuensque Tobiam Raguel, dixit Annæ uxori suæ: Quam similis est juvenis iste consobrino meo !
2 Raguel said to Edna his wife, “This young man really resembles Tobit my cousin!”
3 Et cum hæc dixisset, ait: Unde estis juvenes fratres nostri? At illi dixerunt: Ex tribu Nephthali sumus, ex captivitate Ninive.
3 And Raguel asked them, “Where are you two from, kindred?” They said to him, “We are of the sons of Naphtali, who are captives in Nineveh.”
4 Dixitque illis Raguel: Nostis Tobiam fratrem meum? Qui dixerunt: Novimus.
4 He said to them, “Do you know Tobit our brother?” They said, “We know him.” Then he said to them, “Is he in good health?”
5 Cumque multa bona loqueretur de eo, dixit angelus ad Raguelem: Tobias, de quo interrogas, pater istius est.
5 They said, “He is both alive, and in good health.” Tobias said, “He is my father.”
6 Et misit se Raguel, et cum lacrimis osculatus est eum, et plorans supra collum ejus
6 And Raguel sprang up, and kissed him, wept,
7 dixit: Benedictio sit tibi, fili mi, quia boni et optimi viri filius es.
7 blessed him, and said to him, “You are the son of an honest and good man.” When he had heard that Tobit had lost his sight, he was grieved, and wept;
8 Et Anna uxor ejus, et Sara ipsorum filia, lacrimatæ sunt.
8 and Edna his wife and Sarah his daughter wept. They received them gladly; and they killed a ram of the flock, and served them meat. But Tobias said to Raphael, “Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which you talked about in the way, and let the matter be finished.”
9 Postquam autem locuti sunt, præcepit Raguel occidi arietem, et parari convivium. Cumque hortaretur eos discumbere ad prandium,
9 So he communicated the thing to Raguel. Raguel said to Tobias, “Eat, drink, and make merry:
10 Tobias dixit: Hic ego hodie non manducabo neque bibam, nisi prius petitionem meam confirmes, et promittas mihi dare Saram filiam tuam.
10 for it belongs to you to take my child. However I will tell you the truth.
11 Quo audito verbo Raguel expavit, sciens quid evenerit illis septem viris qui ingressi sunt ad eam: et timere cœpit ne forte et hunc similiter contingeret. Et cum nutaret, et non daret petenti ullum responsum,
11 I have given my child to seven men of our relatives, and whenever they came in to her, they died in the night. But for the present be merry.” And Tobias said, “I will taste nothing here, until you all make a covenant and enter into that covenant with me.”
12 dixit ei angelus: Noli timere dare eam isti, quoniam huic timenti Deum debetur conjux filia tua: propterea alius non potuit habere illam.
12 Raguel said, “Take her to yourself from now on according to custom. You are her relative, and she is yours. The merciful God will give all good success to you.”
13 Tunc dixit Raguel: Non dubito quod Deus preces et lacrimas meas in conspectu suo admiserit.
13 And he called his daughter Sarah, and took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife of Tobias, and said, “Behold, take her to yourself after the law of Moses, and lead her away to your father.” And he blessed them.
14 Et credo quoniam ideo fecit vos venire ad me, ut ista conjungeretur cognationi suæ secundum legem Moysi: et nunc noli dubium gerere quod tibi eam tradam.
14 He called Edna his wife, then took a book, wrote a contract, and sealed it.
15 Et apprehendens dexteram filiæ suæ, dexteræ Tobiæ tradidit, dicens: Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob vobiscum sit, et ipse conjungat vos, impleatque benedictionem suam in vobis.
15 Then they began to eat.
16 Et accepta carta, fecerunt conscriptionem conjugii.
16 And Raguel called his wife Edna, and said to her, “Sister, prepare the other chamber, and bring her in there.”
17 Et post hæc epulati sunt, benedicentes Deum.
17 She did as he asked her, and brought her in there. She wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said to her,
18 Vocavitque Raguel ad se Annam uxorem suam, et præcepit ei ut præpararet alterum cubiculum.
18 “Be comforted, my child. May the Lord of heaven and earth give you favor for this your sorrow. Be comforted, my daughter.”
19 Et introduxit illuc Saram filiam suam, et lacrimata est.
