Thomson—

BrentonAfter 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.

GreekΜετὰ ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο καὶ Τωβίας εὐλογῶν τὸν Θεὸν, ὅτι εὐώδωσε τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ· καὶ κατευλόγει Ῥαγουὴλ, καὶ Ἔδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπορεύετο μέχρις οὗ ἐγγίσαι αὐτοὺς εἰς Νινευή.

Thomson—

BrentonThen Raphael said to Tobias, Dost thou not know, brother, how thou didst leave thy father?

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε Ῥαφαὴλ πρὸς Τωβίαν, οὐ γινώσκεις, ἀδελφὲ, πῶς ἀφῆκας τὸν πατέρα σου;

Thomson—

Brentonlet us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house;

GreekΠροδράμωμεν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς γυναικός σου, καὶ ἑτοιμάσωμεν τὴν οἰκίαν·

Thomson—

Brentonand take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.

Greekλάβε δὲ παρὰ χεῖρα τὴν χολὴν τοῦ ἰχθύος· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν, καὶ συνῆλθεν ὁ κύων ὄπισθεν αὐτῶν.

Thomson—

BrentonNow Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.

GreekΚαὶ Ἄννα ἐκάθητο περιβλεπομένη εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν τὸν παῖδα αὐτῆς.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.

GreekΚαὶ προσενόησεν αὐτὸν ἐρχόμενον, καὶ εἶπε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ, ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱὸς μου ἔρχεται, καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ πορευθεὶς μετʼ αὐτοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonThen said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.

GreekΚαὶ Ῥαφαὴλ εἶπεν, ἐπίσταμαι ἐγὼ, ὅτι ἀνοίξει τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὁ πατήρ σου.

Thomson—

BrentonTherefore 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.

GreekΣὺ ἔγχρισον τὴν χολὴν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ δηχθεὶς διατρίψει, καὶ ἀποβαλεῖται τὰ λευκώματα, καὶ ὄψεταί σε.

Thomson—

BrentonThen 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.

GreekΚαὶ προσδραμοῦσα Ἄννα ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, εἶδόν σε παιδίον, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἀποθανοῦμαι· καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἄμφότεροι.

Thomson—

BrentonTobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,

GreekΚαὶ Τωβὶτ ἐξήρχετο πρὸς τὴν θύραν, καὶ προσέκοπτεν· ὁ δὲ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ προσέδραμεν αὐτῷ,

Thomson—

Brentonand took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his father's eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.

Greekκαὶ ἐπελάβετο τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ προσέπασε τὴν χολὴν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, λέγων, θάρσει πάτερ.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;

GreekὩς δὲ συνεδήχθησαν, διέτριψε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ,

Thomson—

Brentonand the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.

Greekκαὶ ἐλεπίσθη ἀπὸ τῶν κάνθων τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ λευκώματα· καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ,

Thomson—

BrentonAnd he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy angels:

GreekΚαὶ ἔκλαυσε, καὶ εἶπεν, εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ εὐλογημένοι πάντες οἱ ἅγιοί σου ἄγγελοι,

Thomson—

Brentonfor 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.

Greekὅτι ἐμαστίγωσας καὶ ἠλέησάς με· ἰδοὺ βλέπω Τωβίαν τὸν υἱόν μου· καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ χαίρων, καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ μεγαλεῖα τὰ γενόμενα αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ Μηδίᾳ.

Thomson—

BrentonThen 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.

GreekΚαὶ ἐξῆλθε Τωβίτ εἰς συνάντησιν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν Θεὸν πρὸς τῇ πύλῃ Νινευή· καὶ ἐθαύμαζον οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν πορευόμενον, ὅτι ἔβλεψε.

Thomson—

BrentonBut Tobit 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.

GreekΚαὶ Τωβὶτ ἐξωμολογεῖτο ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἠλέησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεός· καὶ ὡς ἤγγισε Τωβὶτ Σάῤῥᾳ τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ, κατευλόγησεν αὐτὴν, λέγων, Ἔλθοις ὑγιαίνουσα θύγατερ· εὐλογητὸς ὁ Θεός, ὃς ἤγαγέ σε πρὸς ἡμᾶς, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ σου· καὶ ἐγένετο χαρὰ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν Νινευὴ ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ.

Thomson—

BrentonAnd Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother's son, came:

GreekΚαὶ παρεγένετο Ἀχιάχαρος, καὶ Νασβὰς ὁ ἐξάδελφος αὐτοῦ,

Thomson—

Brentonand Tobias' wedding was kept seven days with great joy.

Greekκαὶ ἤχθη ὁ γάμος Τωβία μετʼ εὐφροσύνης ἡμέρας ἑπτά.
