HOLY BIBLE: Tobit 9 (original) (raw)

6 καὶ ὤρθρευσαν κοινῶς καὶ ἤλθοσαν εἰς τὸν γάμον καὶ εὐλόγησεν Τωβιας τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ 7 8 9 10 11 12

6 So Raphael took with him four of Raguel’s men, and two camels; went to Rages in Media and sought out Gabelus there; gave him the bond, and recovered the debt in full. 7 Then he recounted to him the younger Tobias’ history, and brought him back to take part in the wedding-feast. 8 Tobias, who was sitting at table when Gabelus entered the house, sprang up to welcome him; and when they had embraced, Gabelus wept, and praised God for their meeting. 9 The God of Israel bless thee, he cried, for the son of an excellent honest man, his true worshipper, and a great giver of alms! 10 May the name of this thy bride, the names of her parents and thine, be used for an example of blessedness! 11 May you live to see sons of yours, and sons of theirs again, and a fourth generation to succeed the third! May your posterity win a blessing from the God of Israel, that reigns everlastingly! 12 All said Amen to that, and so they fell to and feasted; yet was there no merry-making over this wedding but such as became God’s worshippers.

6 Tunc Raphaël assumens quatuor ex servis Raguelis, et duos camelos, in Rages civitatem Medorum perrexit: et inveniens Gabelum, reddidit ei chirographum suum, et recepit ab eo omnem pecuniam. 7 Indicavitque ei de Tobia filio Tobiæ omnia quæ gesta sunt, fecitque eum secum venire ad nuptias. 8 Cumque ingressus esset domum Raguelis, invenit Tobiam discumbentem: et exiliens, osculati sunt se invicem: et flevit Gabelus, benedixitque Deum, 9 et dixit: Benedicat te Deus Israël, quia filius es optimi viri et justi, et timentis Deum, et eleemosynas facientis: 10 et dicatur benedictio super uxorem tuam, et super parentes vestros, 11 et videatis filios vestros, et filios filiorum vestrorum, usque in tertiam et quartam generationem: et sit semen vestrum benedictum a Deo Israël, qui regnat in sæcula sæculorum. 12 Cumque omnes dixissent: Amen: accesserunt ad convivium: sed et cum timore Domini nuptiarum convivium exercebant.
