Tobias 7

1E entraram em casa de Raguel, e Raguel os recebeu com alegria.

1And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house.

2E olhando para Tobias, Raguel disse a Ana sua mulher: Que semelhante é este jovem ao meu primo!

2Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin!

3E dizendo isto perguntou-lhes: Donde sois vós, jovens nossos irmãos? E eles disseram: Somos da tribo de Neftali, dos cativos de Nínive.

3And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve.

4E Raguel disse-lhes: Conheceis Tobias, meu irmão? E eles disseram: Conhecemos.

4Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health?

5E falando ele muitas coisas boas dele, o anjo disse a Raguel: Tobias, de quem perguntas, é pai deste.

5And they said, He is both alive, and in good health: and Tobias said, He is my father.

6E Raguel lançou-se a ele, e beijou-o chorando,

6Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept,

7E bendizendo a Deus disse: Bendiga-te o Senhor Deus de Israel, porque és filho de um óptimo homem, justo, e temente a Deus, e fazedor de esmolas.

7And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.

8E seja dita a bênção sobre tua mulher e sobre vossos pais.

8And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.

9E o Senhor do céu vos dê prosperidade, antes que eu morra.

9So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:

10E Raguel disse a Ana sua mulher: Prepara o aposento, e leva-a lá.

10For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth.

11E havendo-a levado lá, ela chorou; e disse-lhe sua mãe: Tem bom ânimo, filha; o Senhor do céu te dê alegria pela tristeza que padeceste.

11I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.

12—

12Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things.

13—

13Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;

14—

14And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it.

15—

15Then they began to eat.

16—

16After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither.

17—

17Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her,

18—

18Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.
