7 ΤΩΒΕΙΤTOBIT - Brenton|RSVReference
1Καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Ἑκβάτανα καὶ παρεγένοντο εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Ραγουηλ, Σαρρα δὲ ὑπήντησεν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐχαιρέτισεν αὐτοὺς καὶ αὐτοὶ αὐτήν, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν. When they reached Ecbatana and arrived at the house of Raguel, Sarah met them and greeted them. They returned her greeting, and she brought them into the house. At Raguel's house. Tob.7.1-12
2καὶ εἶπεν Ραγουηλ Εδνα τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ Ὡς ὅμοιος ὁ νεανίσκος Τωβιτ τῷ ἀνεψιῷ μου. Then Raguel said to his wife Edna, "How much the young man resembles my cousin Tobit!"  
3καὶ ἠρώτησεν αὐτοὺς Ραγουηλ Πόθεν ἐστέ, ἀδελφοί; καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ Ἑκ τῶν υἱῶν Νεφθαλι τῶν αἰχμαλώτων ἐν Νινευη. And Raguel asked them, "Where are you from, brethren?" They answered him, "We belong to the sons of Naphtali, who are captives in Nineveh."  
4καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Γινώσκετε Τωβιτ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν Γινώσκομεν. So he said to them, "Do you know our brother Tobit?" And they said, "Yes, we do." And he asked them, "Is he in good health?"  
5καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὑγιαίνει; οἱ δὲ εἶπαν Καὶ ζῇ καὶ ὑγιαίνει· καὶ εἶπεν Τωβιας Πατήρ μού ἐστιν. They replied, "He is alive and in good health." And Tobias said, "He is my father."  
6καὶ ἀνεπήδησεν Ραγουηλ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔκλαυσε καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ὁ τοῦ καλοῦ καὶ ἀγαθοῦ ἀνθρώπου· καὶ ἀκούσας ὅτι Τωβιτ ἀπώλεσεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, ἐλυπήθη καὶ ἔκλαυσεν. Then Raguel sprang up and kissed him and wept.  
7καὶ Εδνα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ Σαρρα ἡ θυγάτηρ αὐτοῦ ἔκλαυσαν καὶ ὑπεδέξαντο αὐτοὺς προθύμως. And he blessed him and exclaimed, "Son of that good and noble man!" When he heard that Tobit had lost his sight, he was stricken with grief and wept.  
8καὶ ἔθυσαν κριὸν προβάτων καὶ παρέθηκαν ὄψα πλείονα. And his wife Edna and his daughter Sarah wept. They received them very warmly; and they killed a ram from the flock and set large servings of food before them.

Then Tobias said to Raphael, "Brother Azarias, speak of those things which you talked about on the journey, and let the matter be settled."

 
9Εἶπεν δὲ Τωβιας τῷ Ραφαηλ Αζαρια ἄδελφε, λάλησον ὑπὲρ ὧν ἔλεγες ἐν τῇ πορείᾳ, καὶ τελεσθήτω τὸ πρᾶγμα. So he communicated the proposal to Raguel. And Raguel said to Tobias, "Eat, drink, and be merry;  
10καὶ μετέδωκεν τὸν λόγον τῷ Ραγουηλ. καὶ εἶπεν Ραγουηλ πρὸς Τωβιαν Φάγε καὶ πίε καὶ ἡδέως γίνου· σοὶ γὰρ καθήκει τὸ παιδίον μου λαβεῖν· πλὴν ὑποδείξω σοι τὴν ἀλήθειαν. for it is your right to take my child. But let me explain the true situation to you.  
11ἔδωκα τὸ παιδίον μου ἑπτὰ ἀνδράσιν, καὶ ὁπότε ἐὰν εἰσεπορεύοντο πρὸς αὐτήν, ἀπεθνῄσκοσαν ὑπὸ τὴν νύκτα. ἀλλὰ τὸ νῦν ἔχων ἡδέως γίνου. I have given my daughter to seven husbands, and when each came to her he died in the night. But for the present be merry." And Tobias said, "I will eat nothing here until you make a binding agreement with me."  
12καὶ εἶπεν Τωβιας Οὐ γεύσομαι οὐδὲν ὧδε, ἕως ἂν στήσητε καὶ σταθῆτε πρός με. καὶ εἶπεν Ραγουηλ Κομίζου αὐτὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν· σὺ δὲ ἀδελφὸς εἶ αὐτῆς, καὶ αὐτή σού ἐστιν· ὁ δὲ ἐλεήμων θεὸς εὐοδώσει ὑμῖν τὰ κάλλιστα. So Raguel said, "Take her right now, in accordance with the law. You are her relative, and she is yours. The merciful God will guide you both for the best."  
13καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Σαρραν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ λαβὼν τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς παρέδωκεν αὐτὴν τῷ Τωβια γυναῖκα καὶ εἶπεν Ἰδοὺ κατὰ τὸν νόμον Μωυσέως κομίζου αὐτὴν καὶ ἄπαγε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου· καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτούς. Then he called his daughter Sarah, and taking her by the hand he gave her to Tobias to be his wife, saying, "Here she is; take her according to the law of Moses, and take her with you to your father." And he blessed them. The marriage ceremony. Tob.7.13-18
14καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Εδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ· καὶ λαβὼν βιβλίον ἔγραψεν συγγραφήν, καὶ ἐσφραγίσαντο. καὶ ἤρξαντο ἐσθίειν. Next he called his wife Edna, and took a scroll and wrote out the contract; and they set their seals to it.  
15καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ραγουηλ Εδναν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ἀδελφή, ἑτοίμασον τὸ ἕτερον ταμίειον καὶ εἰσάγαγε αὐτήν. Then they began to eat.  
16καὶ ἐποίησεν ὡς εἶπεν καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὴν ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἔκλαυσεν· καὶ ἀπεδέξατο τὰ δάκρυα τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ And Raguel called his wife Edna and said to her, "Sister, make up the other room, and take her into it."  
17Θάρσει, τέκνον, ὁ κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῆς γῆς δῴη σοι χάριν ἀντὶ τῆς λύπης σου ταύτης θάρσει, θύγατερ. so she did as he said, and took her there; and the girl began to weep. But the mother comforted her daughter in her tears, and said to 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.
