Tobit 9
1 Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him,
1 Tunc vocavit Tobias angelum ad se, quem quidem hominem existimabat, dixitque ei: Azaria frater, peto ut auscultes verba mea.
2 Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.
2 Si meipsum tradam tibi servum, non ero condignus providentiæ tuæ:
3 For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.
3 tamen obsecro te ut assumas tibi animalia sive servitia, et vadas ad Gabelum in Rages civitatem Medorum, reddasque ei chirographum suum, et recipias ab eo pecuniam, et roges eum venire ad nuptias meas.
4 But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry.
4 Scis enim ipse quoniam numerat pater meus dies, et si tardavero una die plus, contristatur anima ejus.
5 So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him.
5 Et certe vides quomodo adjuravit me Raguel, cujus adjuramentum spernere non possum.
6 And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias blessed his wife.
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.
