| 1 | When I arrived home and my wife Anna and my son Tobias were restored to me, at the feast of Pentecost, which is the sacred festival of the seven weeks, a good dinner was prepared for me and I sat down to eat. | A family celebration. Tob.2.1-2 | |
| 2 | Upon seeing the abundance of food I said to my son, "Go and bring whatever poor man of our brethren you may find who is mindful of the Lord, and I will wait for you." | καὶ παρετέθη μοι ἡ τράπεζα, καὶ παρετέθη μοι ὀψάρια πλείονα, καὶ εἶπα τῷ Τωβια τῷ υἱῷ μου Παιδίον, βάδιζε καὶ ὃν ἂν εὕρῃς πτωχὸν τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν ἐκ Νινευητῶν αἰχμαλώτων, ὃς μέμνηται ἐν ὅλῃ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἄγαγε αὐτὸν καὶ φάγεται κοινῶς μετ' ἐμοῦ· καὶ ἰδὲ προσμενῶ σε, παιδίον, μέχρι τοῦ σε ἐλθεῖν. | |
| 3 | But he came back and said, "Father, one of our people has been strangled and thrown into the market place." | A murder in Nineveh. Tob.2.3-8 | |
| 4 | So before I tasted anything I sprang up and removed the body to a place of shelter until sunset. | ||
| 5 | And when I returned I washed myself and ate my food in sorrow. | ||
| 6 | Then I remembered the prophecy of Amos, how he said, "Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, | - feasts turned into mourning | Am.8:10 | |
| 7 | When the sun had set I went and dug a grave and buried the body. | ||
| 8 | And my neighbours laughed at me and said, "He is no longer afraid that he will be put to death for doing this; he once ran away, and here he is burying the dead again!" | ||
| 9 | On the same night I returned from burying him, and because I was defiled I slept by the wall of the courtyard, and my face was uncovered. | Tobit blinded. Tob.2.9-10 | |
| 10 | I did not know that there were sparrows on the wall and their fresh droppings fell into my open eyes and white films formed on my eyes. I went to physicians, but they did not help me. Ahikar, however, took care of me until he went to Elymais. | καὶ οὐκ ᾔδειν ὅτι στρουθία ἐν τῷ τοίχῳ ἐπάνω μού εἰσιν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν τὸ ἀφόδευμα αὐτῶν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου θερμὸν καὶ ἐπήγαγεν λευκώματα. καὶ ἐπορευόμην πρὸς τοὺς ἰατροὺς θεραπευθῆναι, καὶ ὅσῳ ἐνεχρίοσάν με τὰ φάρμακα, τοσούτῳ μᾶλλον ἐξετυφλοῦντο οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου τοῖς λευκώμασιν μέχρι τοῦ ἀποτυφλωθῆναι· καὶ ἤμην ἀδύνατος τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς ἔτη τέσσαρα. καὶ πάντες οἱ ἀδελφοί μου ἐλυποῦντο περὶ ἐμοῦ, καὶ Αχιαχαρος ἔτρεφέν με ἔτη δύο πρὸ τοῦ αὐτὸν βαδίσαι εἰς τὴν Ἑλυμαίδα. | |
| 11 | Then my wife Anna earned money at women's work. | A family quarrel. Tob.2.11-14 | |
| 12 | She used to send the product to the owners. Once when they paid her wages, they also gave her a kid; | ||
| 13 | and when she returned to me it began to bleat. So I said to her, "Where did you get the kid? It is not stolen, is it? Return it to the owners; for it is not right to eat what is stolen." | ||
| 14 | And she said, "It was given to me as a gift in addition to my wages." But I did not believe her, and told her to return it to the owners; and I blushed for her. Then she replied to me, "Where are your charities and your righteous deeds? You seem to know everything!" | καὶ λέγει μοι αὐτή Δόσει δέδοταί μοι ἐπὶ τῷ μισθῷ. καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευον αὐτῇ καὶ ἔλεγον ἀποδοῦναι τοῖς κυρίοις καὶ προσηρυθρίων χάριν τούτου πρὸς αὐτήν· εἶτα ἀποκριθεῖσα λέγει μοι Καὶ ποῦ εἰσιν αἱ ἐλεημοσύναι σου; ποῦ εἰσιν αἱ δικαιοσύναι σου; ἰδὲ ταῦτα μετὰ σοῦ γνωστά ἐστιν. - | |
