10 ΤΩΒΕΙΤTOBIT - Brenton|RSVReference
1Καὶ Τωβιτ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐλογίζετο ἑκάστης ἡμέρας· καὶ ὡς ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς πορείας καὶ οὐκ ἤρχοντο, Now his father Tobit was counting each day, and when the days for the journey had expired and they did not arrive, Tobit & Anna are worried. Tob.10.1-7
2εἶπεν Μήποτε κατῄσχυνται; ἢ μήποτε ἀπέθανεν Γαβαηλ καὶ οὐδεὶς δίδωσιν αὐτῷ τὸ ἀργύριον; he said, "Is it possible that he has been detained? Or is it possible that Gabael has died and there is no one to give him the money?"  
3καὶ ἐλυπεῖτο λίαν. And he was greatly distressed.  
4εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή Ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον, διότι κεχρόνικεν· καὶ ἤρξατο θρηνεῖν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν And his wife said to him, "The lad has perished; his long delay proves it." Then she began to mourn for him, and said,  
5Οὐ μέλει μοι, τέκνον, ὅτι ἀφῆκά σε τὸ φῶς τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου; "Am I not distressed, my child, that I let you go, you who are the light of my eyes?"  
6καὶ Τωβιτ λέγει αὐτῇ Σίγα, μὴ λόγον ἔχε, ὑγιαίνει. But Tobit said to her, "Be still and stop worrying; he is well."  
7καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σίγα, μὴ πλάνα με· ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον μου. καὶ ἐπορεύετο καθ' ἡμέραν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ἔξω, οἵας ἀπῆλθεν, ἡμέρας τε ἄρτον οὐκ ἤσθιεν, τὰς δὲ νύκτας οὐ διελίμπανεν θρηνοῦσα Τωβιαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, ἕως οὗ συνετελέσθησαν αἱ δέκα τέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου, ἃς ὤμοσεν Ραγουηλ ποιῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ. And she answered him, "Be still and stop deceiving me; my child has perished." And she went out every day to the road by which they had left; she ate nothing in the daytime, and throughout the nights she never stopped mourning for her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding feast had expired which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there.

At that time Tobias said to Raguel, "Send me back, for my father and mother have given up hope of ever seeing me again."

Departure for Ecbatana. Tob.10.7-11.1
8Εἶπεν δὲ Τωβιας τῷ Ραγουηλ Ἑξαπόστειλόν με, ὅτι ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου οὐκέτι ἐλπίζουσιν ὄψεσθαί με. But his father-in-law said to him, "Stay with me, and I will send messengers to your father, and they will inform him how things are with you."  
9εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ πενθερὸς αὐτοῦ Μεῖνον παρ' ἐμοί, κἀγὼ ἐξαποστελῶ πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ δηλώσουσιν αὐτῷ τὰ κατὰ σέ. καὶ Τωβιας λέγει Οὐχί, ἀλλὰ ἐξαπόστειλόν με πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου. Tobias replied, "No, send me back to my father."  
10ἀναστὰς δὲ Ραγουηλ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Σαρραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἥμισυ τῶν ὑπαρχόντων, σώματα καὶ κτήνη καὶ ἀργύριον· So Raguel arose and gave him his wife Sarah and half of his property in slaves, cattle, and money.  
11καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτοὺς ἐξαπέστειλεν λέγων Εὐοδώσει ὑμᾶς, τέκνα, ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πρὸ τοῦ με ἀποθανεῖν. And when he had blessed them he sent them away, saying, "The God of heaven will prosper you, my children, before I die."  
12καὶ εἶπεν τῇ θυγατρὶ αὐτοῦ Τίμα τοὺς πενθερούς σου, αὐτοὶ νῦν γονεῖς σού εἰσιν· ἀκούσαιμί σου ἀκοὴν καλήν. καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτήν. He said also to his daughter, "Honor your father-in-law and your mother-in-law; they are now your parents. Let me hear a good report of you. " And he kissed her. And Edna said to Tobias, "The Lord of heaven bring you back safely, dear brother, and grant me to see your children by my daughter Sarah, that I may rejoice before the Lord. See, I am entrusting my daughter to you; do nothing to grieve her."

Notes:

The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text. )
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica (1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT so I have included the RSV Aprocrypha for the Greek books not covered by Brenton.
Ecclesiasticus - Sirach Chs.30-36: The text of these chapters from 30.24 to 36.16, is disordered.
I have followed Swete's verse numbering for the greek text.
Also, the RSV verse numbering differs from the NRSV.
The NRSV appears to have followed Swete's numbering here, so I have re-ordered the RSV to agree with both the NRSV & Swete for these chapters.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages.
Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
