1
καὶ ἐπαύσατο ἐξομολογούμενος Τωβιτ
And Tobit made an end of giving thanks.
2
καὶ ἦν ἐτῶν πεντήκοντα ὀκτώ ὅτε ἀπώλεσεν τὰς ὄψεις καὶ μετὰ ἔτη ὀκτὼ ἀνέβλεψεν καὶ ἐποίει ἐλεημοσύνας καὶ προσέθετο φοβεῖσθαι κύριον τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι αὐτῷ
And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight; and after eight years he received it again: and he gave alms, and he feared the Lord God more and more, and gave thanks to him.
3
μεγάλως δὲ ἐγήρασεν καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τέκνον λαβὲ τοὺς υἱούς σου ἰδοὺ γεγήρακα καὶ πρὸς τὸ ἀποτρέχειν ἐκ τοῦ ζῆν εἰμι
Now he grew very old; and he called his son, and the six sons of his son, and said to him, My child, take your sons: behold, I am grown old, and am ready to depart out of this life.
4
ἄπελθε εἰς τὴν Μηδίαν τέκνον ὅτι πέπεισμαι ὅσα ἐλάλησεν Ιωνας ὁ προφήτης περὶ Νινευη 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 Ιεροσόλυμα ἔσται ἔρημος καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῇ κατακαήσεται καὶ ἔρημος ἔσται μέχρι χρόνου
Go into Media, my child, for I surely believe all the things which Jonah the prophet spoke of Nineveh, that it shall be overthrown, but in Media there shall rather be peace for a season; and that our brethren shall be scattered in the earth from the good land; and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned up, and shall be desolate for a time;
5
καὶ πάλιν ἐλεήσει αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς καὶ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν τὸν οἶκον οὐχ οἷος ὁ πρότερος ἕως πληρωθῶσιν καιροὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἐκ τῶν αἰχμαλωσιῶν καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν Ιερουσαλημ ἐντίμως καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῇ οἰκοδομηθήσεται εἰς πάσας τὰς γενεὰς τοῦ αἰῶνος οἰκοδομῇ ἐνδόξῳ καθὼς ἐλάλησαν περὶ αὐτῆς οἱ προφῆται
and God shall again have mercy on them, and bring them back into the land, and they shall build the house, but not like to the former house, until the times of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from the places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem with honor, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, even as the prophets spoke concerning it.
6
καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἀληθινῶς φοβεῖσθαι κύριον τὸν θεὸν καὶ κατορύξουσιν τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτῶν καὶ εὐλογήσουσιν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὸν κύριον
And all the nations shall turn to fear the Lord God truly, and shall bury their idols.
7
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
And all the nations shall bless the Lord, and his people shall give thanks to God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all they that love the Lord God in truth and righteousness shall rejoice, showing mercy to our brethren.
8
καὶ νῦν τέκνον ἄπελθε ἀπὸ Νινευη ὅτι πάντως ἔσται ἃ ἐλάλησεν ὁ προφήτης Ιωνας
And now, my child, depart from Nineveh, because those things which the prophet Jonah spoke shall surely come to pass.
9
σὺ δὲ τήρησον τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰ προστάγματα καὶ γίνου φιλελεήμων καὶ δίκαιος ἵνα σοι καλῶς ᾖ καὶ θάψον με καλῶς καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου μετ' ἐμοῦ καὶ μηκέτι αὐλισθῆτε εἰς Νινευη
But keep you the law and the ordinances, and show yourself merciful and righteous, that it may be well with you.
10
τέκνον ἰδὲ τί ἐποίησεν Αμαν Αχιαχάρῳ τῷ θρέψαντι αὐτόν ὡς ἐκ τοῦ φωτὸς ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ σκότος καὶ ὅσα ἀνταπέδωκεν αὐτῷ καὶ Αχιαχαρος μὲν ἐσώθη ἐκείνῳ δὲ τὸ ἀνταπόδομα ἀπεδόθη καὶ αὐτὸς κατέβη εἰς τὸ σκότος Μανασσης ἐποίησεν ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ ἐσώθη ἐκ παγίδος θανάτου ἧς ἔπηξεν αὐτῷ Αμαν δὲ ἐνέπεσεν εἰς τὴν παγίδα καὶ ἀπώλετο
And bury me decently, and your mother with me; and dwell you⌃ no longer at Nineveh. See, my child, what Aman did to Achiacharus that nourished him, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and all the recompense that he made him: and 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 τί δικαιοσύνη ῥύεται καὶ ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λέγοντος ἐξέλιπεν αὐτοῦ ἡ ψυχὴ ἐπὶ τῆς κλίνης ἦν δὲ ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα ὀκτώ καὶ ἔθαψεν αὐτὸν ἐνδόξως
And now, my children, consider what alms does, and how righteousness does deliver. And while he was saying these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed; but he was a hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him magnificently.
12
καὶ ὅτε ἀπέθανεν Αννα ἔθαψεν αὐτὴν μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἀπῆλθεν δὲ Τωβιας μετὰ τῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ εἰς Ἐκβάτανα πρὸς Ραγουηλ τὸν πενθερὸν αὐτοῦ
And 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 ἔθαψεν τοὺς πενθεροὺς αὐτοῦ ἐνδόξως καὶ ἐκληρονόμησεν τὴν οὐσίαν αὐτῶν καὶ Τωβιτ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ
and he grew old in honor, and he buried his father and mother in law magnificently, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit’s.
14
καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι ἑπτὰ ἐν Ἐκβατάνοις τῆς Μηδίας
And he died at Ecbatana of Media, being a hundred and seven and twenty years old.
15
καὶ ἤκουσεν πρὶν ἢ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτὸν τὴν ἀπώλειαν Νινευη ἣν ᾐχμαλώτισεν Ναβουχοδονοσορ καὶ Ασυηρος ἐχάρη πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν ἐπὶ Νινευη
And before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineveh, which Nebuchadnezzar and Ahasuerus took captive; and before his death he rejoiced over Nineveh.
