δὲ πορευόμενος ἐμνήσθη τῶν λόγων Ραφαηλ καὶ ἔλαβεν τὴν τέφραν τῶν θυμιαμάτων καὶ ἐπέθηκεν τὴν καρδίαν τοῦ ἰχθύος καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ καὶ ἐκάπνισεν
And the one going along remembered the words of Raphael and took the ashes of the incense and laid on the heart of the fish and the liver and made smoke with them
But when the demon smelled the odor, it fled to the upper parts of Egypt, and the angel bound it
δὲ συνεκλείσθησαν ἀμφότεροι ἀνέστη Τωβιας ἀπὸ τῆς κλίνης καὶ εἶπεν ἀνάστηθι ἀδελφή καὶ προσευξώμεθα ἵνα ἡμᾶς ἐλεήσῃ ὁ κύριος
And when both were shut in together, Tobias rose from the bed and said, Rise, sister, and let us pray that the Lord may have mercy on us.
ἤρξατο Τωβιας 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
And Tobias began to say, Blessed are you, O God of our fathers, and blessed is your holy and glorious name unto the ages; let the heavens and all your creations bless you.
ἐποίησας Αδαμ καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτῷ βοηθὸν Ευαν στήριγμα τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ ἐκ τούτων ἐγενήθη τὸ ἀνθρώπων σπέρμα σὺ εἶπας οὐ καλὸν εἶναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον μόνον ποιήσωμεν αὐτῷ βοηθὸν ὅμοιον αὐτῷ
You made Adam and gave him Eve, a helper, support, his wife; from these came the seed of men. You said, It is not good for the man to be alone; let us make for him a helper like him.
νῦν κύριε οὐ διὰ πορνείαν ἐγὼ λαμβάνω τὴν ἀδελφήν μου ταύτην ἀλλ᾿ ἐπ᾿ ἀληθείας ἐπίταξον ἐλεῆσαί με καὶ ταύτῃ συγκαταγηρᾶσαι
And now, Lord, not because of lust do I take this my sister, but in truth command to have mercy on me and for her to grow old together with me.
And he said with him, Amen.
And they both slept the night.
And Raguel rose up and went and dug a grave, saying, lest this one also die.
And Raguel came into his house
εἶπεν Εδνα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπόστειλον μίαν τῶν παιδισκῶν καὶ ἰδέτωσαν εἰ ζῇ εἰ δὲ μή ἵνα θάψωμεν αὐτὸν καὶ μηδεὶς γνῷ
And Edna said to his wife, Send one of the maidservants, and let them see whether he is alive; but if not, that we may bury him, and let no one know.
And the maidservant entered, having opened the door, and found the two sleeping.
And going out, she announced to them that he lives.
εὐλόγησεν Ραγουηλ 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 πάντας τοὺς αἰῶνας
And Raguel blessed God, saying, Blessed are you, you God, in every pure and holy blessing, and let your holy ones bless you, and all your creatures, and all your angels, and your chosen ones let them bless you unto all the ages.
εἶ ὅτι ηὔφρανάς με καὶ οὐκ ἐγένετό μοι καθὼς ὑπενόουν ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ πολὺ ἔλεός σου ἐποίησας μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν
Blessed are you, because you gladdened me and it did not happen to me as I supposed, but according to your great mercy you acted with us
εἶ ὅτι ἠλέησας δύο μονογενεῖς ποίησον αὐτοῖς δέσποτα ἔλεος συντέλεσον τὴν ζωὴν αὐτῶν ἐν ὑγιείᾳ μετὰ εὐφροσύνης καὶ ἐλέους
Blessed are you, because you had mercy on two only children; do for them, Master, mercy; complete their life in health, with gladness and mercy.
And he ordered the servants to fill in the grave.
And he made for them a wedding feast of fourteen days
εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ραγουηλ πρὶν ἢ συντελεσθῆναι τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ γάμου ἐνόρκως μὴ ἐξελθεῖν αὐτόν ἐὰν μὴ πληρωθῶσιν αἱ δέκα τέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου
And Raguel said to him, Before the days of the wedding are completed, he must not go out under oath, unless the fourteen days of the wedding are fulfilled.
τότε λαβόντα τὸ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων αὐτοῦ πορεύεσθαι μετὰ ὑγιείας πρὸς τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὰ λοιπά ὅταν ἀποθάνω καὶ ἡ γυνή μου
And then, taking half of his possessions, to go in health to the father, and the rest, when I die, and my wife
