1

And when they had supped, they brought Tobias in unto her.

ΟΤΕ δὲ συνετέλεσαν δειπνοῦντες, εἰσήγαγον Τωβίαν πρὸς αὐτήν.

Є҆гда́ же ѡ҆конча́ша ве́черю, введо́ша тѡві́ю къ не́й.

2

And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith.

ὁ δὲ πορευόμενος ἐμνήσθη τῶν λόγων Ῥαφαὴλ καὶ ἔλαβε τὴν τέφραν τῶν θυμιαμάτων καὶ ἐπέθηκε τὴν καρδίαν τοῦ ἰχθύος καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ καὶ ἐκάπνισεν.

Ѻ҆́нъ же и҆ды́й помѧнꙋ̀ словеса̀ рафаи́лѡва, и҆ взѧ̀ жера́токъ ѳѷмїа́мный, и҆ возложѝ се́рдце ры́бїе и҆ пе́чень, и҆ покꙋрѝ:

3

The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.

ὅτε δὲ ὠσφράνθη τὸ δαιμόνιον τῆς ὀσμῆς, ἔφυγεν εἰς τὰ ἀνώτατα Αἰγύπτου καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸ ὁ ἄγγελος.

є҆гда́ же ѡ҆бонѧ̀ де́мѡнъ воню̀, ѿбѣжѐ въ вы̑шнѧѧ є҆гѵ́пта, и҆ свѧза̀ є҆го̀ а҆́гг҃лъ.

4

And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us.

ὡς δὲ συνεκλείσθησαν ἀμφότεροι, ἀνέστη Τωβίας ἀπὸ τῆς κλίνης καὶ εἶπεν· ἀνάστηθι, ἀδελφή, καὶ προσευξώμεθα, ἵνα ἐλεήσῃ ἡμᾶς ὁ Κύριος.

Є҆гда́ же заключє́на бы́ста ѻ҆́ба, воста̀ тѡві́а ѿ ло́жа и҆ речѐ: воста́ни, сестро̀, и҆ помо́лимсѧ, да поми́лꙋетъ ны̀ гдⷭ҇ь.

5

Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.

καὶ ἤρξατο Τωβίας λέγειν· εὐλογητὸς εἶ, ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ἔνδοξον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· εὐλογησάτωσάν σε οἱ οὐρανοὶ καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ κτίσεις σου.

И҆ нача̀ тѡві́а глаго́лати: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ є҆сѝ, бж҃е ѻ҆тє́цъ на́шихъ, и҆ блгⷭ҇ве́но и҆́мѧ твоѐ ст҃о́е и҆ сла́вное во вѣ́ки, да блгⷭ҇вѧ́тъ тѧ̀ нб҃са̀ и҆ всѧ̑ созда̑нїѧ твоѧ̑:

6

Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.

σὺ ἐποίησας ᾿Αδὰμ καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτῷ βοηθὸν Εὔαν στήριγμα τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· ἐκ τούτων ἐγεννήθη τὸ ἀνθρώπων σπέρμα. σὺ εἶπας· οὐ καλὸν εἶναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον μόνον, ποιήσωμεν αὐτῷ βοηθὸν ὅμοιον αὐτῷ.

ты̀ сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ а҆да́ма и҆ да́лъ є҆сѝ є҆мꙋ̀ помо́щницꙋ є҆́ѵꙋ ᲂу҆твержде́нїе женꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀: ѿ тѣ́хъ роди́сѧ человѣ́ческое сѣ́мѧ: ты̀ ре́клъ є҆сѝ: не добро̀ бы́ти человѣ́кꙋ є҆ди́номꙋ, сотвори́мъ є҆мꙋ̀ помо́щницꙋ подо́бнꙋю є҆мꙋ̀:

7

And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lush but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.

καὶ νῦν, Κύριε, οὐ διά πορνείαν ἐγὼ λαμβάνω τὴν ἀδελφήν μου ταύτην, ἀλλὰ ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας ἐπίταξον ἐλεῆσαί με καὶ αὐτῇ συγκαταγηρᾶσαι.

и҆ нн҃ѣ, гдⷭ҇и, не блꙋдодѣѧ́нїѧ ра́ди а҆́зъ пое́млю сестрꙋ̀ мою̀ сїю̀, но по и҆́стинѣ: повелѝ поми́лованꙋ мѝ бы́ти и҆ съ не́ю состарѣ́тисѧ.

8

And she said with him, Amen.

καὶ εἶπε μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ· ἀμήν.

И҆ речѐ съ ни́мъ: а҆ми́нь.

9

So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,

καὶ ἐκοιμήθησαν ἀμφότεροι τὴν νύκτα.

И҆ спа́ста ѻ҆́ба но́щїю, И҆ воста́въ рагꙋи́лъ по́йде и҆ и҆скопа̀ гро́бъ, глаго́лѧ:

10

Saying, I fear lest he also be dead.

καὶ ἀναστὰς Ῥαγουὴλ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ὤρυξε τάφον λέγων· μὴ καὶ οὗτος ἀποθάνῃ;

є҆да̀ и҆ то́й ᲂу҆́мре;

11

But when Raguel was come into his house,

καὶ ἦλθε Ῥαγουὴλ εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν ἑαυτοῦ

И҆ прїи́де рагꙋи́лъ въ до́мъ сво́й

12

He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.

καὶ εἶπεν ῎Εδνᾳ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ· ἀπόστειλον μίαν τῶν παιδισκῶν, καὶ ἰδέτωσαν εἰ ζῇ· εἰ δὲ μή, ἵνα θάψωμεν αὐτόν, καὶ μηδεὶς γνῷ.

и҆ речѐ є҆́днѣ женѣ̀ свое́й: послѝ є҆ди́нꙋ ѿ рабы́нь, и҆ да ви́дитъ, а҆́ще жи́въ є҆́сть: а҆́ще же нѝ, да погребе́мъ є҆го̀, и҆ да никто́же ᲂу҆вѣ́сть.

13

So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them both asleep,

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ παιδίσκη ἀνοίξασα τὴν θύραν καὶ εὗρε τοὺς δύο καθεύδοντας.

И҆ вни́де рабы́нѧ ѿве́рзши две́рь, и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́те ѻ҆бои́хъ спѧ́щихъ,

14

And came forth, and told them that he was alive.

καὶ ἐξελθοῦσα ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ζῇ.

и҆ и҆зше́дши возвѣстѝ и҆̀мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ жи́въ є҆́сть.

15

Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.

καὶ εὐλόγησε Ῥαγουὴλ τὸν Θεὸν λέγων· εὐλογητὸς εἶ σύ, ὁ Θεός, ἐν πάσῃ εὐλογίᾳ καθαρᾷ καὶ ἁγίᾳ, καὶ εὐλογείτωσάν σε οἱ ἅγιοί σου καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ κτίσεις σου, καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοί σου καὶ οἱ ἐκλεκτοί σου εὐλογείτωσάν σε εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας.

И҆ благословѝ рагꙋи́лъ бг҃а, глаго́лѧ: блгⷭ҇ве́нъ є҆сѝ ты̀, бж҃е, во всѧ́цѣмъ бл҃гослове́нїи чи́стѣмъ и҆ ст҃ѣ́мъ: и҆ да блгⷭ҇вѧ́тъ тѧ̀ ст҃і́и твоѝ и҆ всѧ̑ созда̑нїѧ твоѧ̑, и҆ всѝ а҆́гг҃ли твоѝ и҆ и҆збра́нни твоѝ: да блгⷭ҇вѧ́тъ тѧ̀ во вѣ́ки:

16

Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.

εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὅτι ηὔφρανάς με, καὶ οὐκ ἐγένετό μοι καθὼς ὑπενόουν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ πολὺ ἔλεός σου ἐποίησας μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν.

блгⷭ҇ве́нъ є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ возвесели́лъ мѧ̀ є҆сѝ, и҆ не бы́сть мѝ, ꙗ҆́коже непщева́хъ, но по мно́зѣй млⷭ҇ти твое́й сотвори́лъ є҆сѝ съ на́ми:

17

Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.

εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὅτι ἠλέησας δύο μονογενεῖς· ποίησον αὐτοῖς, δέσποτα, ἔλεος, συντέλεσον τὴν ζωὴν αὐτῶν ἐν ὑγιείᾳ μετ᾿ εὐφροσύνης καὶ ἐλέους.

блгⷭ҇ве́нъ є҆сѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ поми́ловалъ є҆сѝ двои́хъ є҆диноро́дныхъ: сотворѝ и҆́ма, влⷣко, млⷭ҇ть, совершѝ живо́тъ и҆́хъ во здра́вїи съ весе́лїемъ и҆ млⷭ҇тїю.

18

Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.

ἐκέλευσε δὲ τοῖς οἰκέταις χῶσαι τὸν τάφον.

Повелѣ́ же рабѡ́мъ засы́пати гро́бъ,

19

And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.

καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς γάμον ἡμερῶν δεκατεσσάρων.

и҆ сотворѝ и҆̀мъ бра́къ дні́й четырена́десѧть,

20

For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ῥαγουὴλ πρὶν ἢ συντελεσθῆναι τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ γάμου ἐνόρκως μὴ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτὸν ἐὰν μὴ πληρωθῶσιν αἱ δεκατέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου.

И҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀ рагꙋи́лъ, пре́жде да́же соверши́тисѧ днє́мъ бра́ка, съ клѧ́твою, да не и҆зы́детъ, а҆́ще не и҆спо́лнѧтсѧ четырена́десѧть дні́е бра́ка:

21

And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.

καὶ τότε λαβόντα τὸ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτοῦ πορεύεσθαι μεθ᾿ ὑγιείας πρὸς τὸν πατέρα· καὶ τὰ λοιπά, ὅταν ἀποθάνω καὶ ἡ γυνή μου.

и҆ тогда̀ взе́мъ по́лъ и҆мѣ́нїй свои́хъ да по́йдетъ со здра́вїемъ ко ѻ҆тцꙋ̀: прѡ́чаѧ же, є҆гда̀ ᲂу҆мрꙋ̀ и҆ жена̀ моѧ̀.
