11 ΤΩΒΕΙΤTOBIT - Brenton|RSVReference
1Καὶ ἐπορεύετο μέχρις οὗ ἐγγίσαι αὐτοὺς εἰς Νινευη. καὶ εἶπεν Ραφαηλ πρὸς Τωβιαν After this Tobias went on his way, praising God because he had made his journey a success. And he blessed Raguel and his wife Edna. So he continued on his way until they came near to Nineveh.  
2Οὐ γινώσκεις, ἄδελφε, πῶς ἀφῆκας τὸν πατέρα σου; Then Raphael said to Tobias, "Are you not aware, brother, of how you left your father? The homecoming. Tob.11.2-9
3προδράμωμεν ἔμπροσθεν τῆς γυναικός σου καὶ ἑτοιμάσωμεν τὴν οἰκίαν· Let us run ahead of your wife and prepare the house.  
4λαβὲ δὲ παρὰ χεῖρα τὴν χολὴν τοῦ ἰχθύος. καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν, καὶ συνῆλθεν ὁ κύων ὄπισθεν αὐτῶν. And take the gall of the fish with you." So they went their way, and the dog went along behind them.  
5καὶ Αννα ἐκάθητο περιβλεπομένη εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν τὸν παῖδα αὐτῆς· Now Anna sat looking intently down the road for her son.  
6καὶ προσενόησεν αὐτὸν ἐρχόμενον καὶ εἶπεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός σου ἔρχεται καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ πορευθεὶς μετ' αὐτοῦ. And she caught sight of him coming, and said to his father, "Behold, your son is coming, and so is the man who went with him!"  
7καὶ Ραφαηλ εἶπεν Ἑπίσταμαι ἐγὼ ὅτι ἀνοίξει τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὁ πατήρ σου· Raphael said, "I know, Tobias, that your father will open his eyes.  
8σὺ οὖν ἔγχρισον τὴν χολὴν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ δηχθεὶς διατρίψει καὶ ἀποβαλεῖ τὰ λευκώματα καὶ ὄψεταί σε. You therefore must anoint his eyes with the gall; and when they smart he will rub them, and will cause the white films to fall away, and he will see you."  
9καὶ προσδραμοῦσα Αννα ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἶδόν σε, παιδίον, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἀποθανοῦμαι. καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἀμφότεροι. Then Anna ran to meet them, and embraced her son, and said to him, "I have seen you, my child; now I am ready to die." And they both wept.  
10καὶ Τωβιτ ἐξήρχετο πρὸς τὴν θύραν καὶ προσέκοπτεν, ὁ δὲ υἱὸς προσέδραμεν αὐτῷ Tobit started toward the door, and stumbled. But his son ran to him Tobit's cure. Tob.11.10-15
11καὶ ἐπελάβετο τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ προσέπασεν τὴν χολὴν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ λέγων Θάρσει, πάτερ. and took hold of his father, and he sprinkled the gall upon his father's eyes, saying, "Be of good cheer, father."  
12ὡς δὲ συνεδήχθησαν, διέτριψε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλεπίσθη ἀπὸ τῶν κανθῶν τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ λευκώματα. And when his eyes began to smart he rubbed them,  
13καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔκλαυσεν καὶ εἶπεν and the white films scaled off from the corners of his eyes.  
14Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, ὁ θεός, καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ εὐλογημένοι πάντες οἱ ἅγιοί σου ἄγγελοι· ὅτι ἐμαστίγωσας καὶ ἠλέησάς με, ἰδοὺ βλέπω Τωβιαν τὸν υἱόν μου. Then he saw his son and embraced him, and he wept and said, "Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever, and blessed are all thy holy angels.  
15καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ μεγαλεῖα τὰ γενόμενα αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ Μηδίᾳ. For thou hast afflicted me, but thou hast had mercy upon me; here I see my son Tobias!" And his son went in rejoicing, and he reported to his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.  
16Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Τωβιτ εἰς συνάντησιν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν θεὸν πρὸς τῇ πύλῃ Νινευη· καὶ ἐθαύμαζον οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν πορευόμενον ὅτι ἔβλεψεν, καὶ Τωβιτ ἐξωμολογεῖτο ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὅτι ἠλέησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός. Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law at the gate of Nineveh, rejoicing and praising God. Those who saw him as he went were amazed because he could see. Sarah's arrival. Tob.11.16-19
17καὶ ὡς ἤγγισεν Τωβιτ Σαρρα τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ, κατευλόγησεν αὐτὴν λέγων Ἔλθοις ὑγιαίνουσα, θύγατερ· εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεός, ὃς ἤγαγέν σε πρὸς ἡμᾶς, καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ σου. And Tobit gave thanks before them that God had been merciful to him. When Tobit came near to Sarah his daughter-in-law, he blessed her, saying, "Welcome, daughter! Blessed is God who has brought you to us, and blessed are your father and your mother." So there was rejoicing among all his brethren in Nineveh.  
18καὶ ἐγένετο χαρὰ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν Νινευη ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ. Ahikar and his nephew Nadab came,  
19καὶ παρεγένετο Αχιαχαρος καὶ Νασβας ὁ ἐξάδελφος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤχθη ὁ γάμος Τωβια μετ' εὐφροσύνης ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας. and Tobias' marriage was celebrated for seven days with great festivity.

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.
