| 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 | Ὅτε δὲ κατῆλθον εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου καὶ ἀπεδόθη μοι Αννα ἡ γυνή μου καὶ Τωβιας ὁ υἱός μου, ἐν τῇ πεντηκοστῇ τῇ ἑορτῇ, ἥ ἐστιν ἁγία ἑπτὰ ἑβδομάδων, ἐγενήθη ἄριστον καλόν μοι, καὶ ἀνέπεσα τοῦ φαγεῖν. | |
| 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 ἐθεασάμην ὄψα πολλὰ καὶ εἶπα τῷ υἱῷ μου Βάδισον καὶ ἄγαγε ὃν ἐὰν εὕρῃς τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν ἐνδεῆ, ὃς μέμνηται τοῦ κυρίου· καὶ ἰδοὺ μενῶ σε. | ||
| 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 | καὶ ἐλθὼν εἶπεν Πάτερ, εἷς ἐκ τοῦ γένους ἡμῶν ἐστραγγαλωμένος ἔρριπται ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ. | |
| 4 | So before I tasted anything I sprang up and removed the body to a place of shelter until sunset. | κἀγὼ πρὶν ἢ γεύσασθαί με ἀναπηδήσας ἀνειλόμην αὐτὸν εἴς τι οἴκημα, ἕως οὗ ἔδυ ὁ ἥλιος. | ||
| 5 | And when I returned I washed myself and ate my food in sorrow. | καὶ ἐπιστρέψας ἐλουσάμην καὶ ἤσθιον τὸν ἄρτον μου ἐν λύπῃ· | ||
| 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 | καὶ ἐμνήσθην τῆς προφητείας Αμως, καθὼς εἶπεν Στραφήσονται αἱ ἑορταὶ ὑμῶν εἰς πένθος, | |
| 7 | When the sun had set I went and dug a grave and buried the body. | καὶ ὅτε ἔδυ ὁ ἥλιος, ᾠχόμην καὶ ὀρύξας ἔθαψα αὐτόν. | ||
| 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!" | καὶ οἱ πλησίον ἐπεγέλων λέγοντες Οὐκέτι φοβεῖται φονευθῆναι περὶ τοῦ πράγματος τούτου· καὶ ἀπέδρα, καὶ ἰδοὺ πάλιν θάπτει τοὺς νεκρούς. | ||
| 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 | καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ νυκτὶ ἀνέλυσα θάψας καὶ ἐκοιμήθην μεμιαμμένος παρὰ τὸν τοῖχον τῆς αὐλῆς, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ἀκάλυπτον ἦν· | |
| 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 ἐστίν, καὶ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου ἀνεῳγότων ἀφώδευσαν τὰ στρουθία θερμὸν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου, καὶ ἐγενήθη λευκώματα εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου. καὶ ἐπορεύθην πρὸς ἰατρούς, καὶ οὐκ ὠφέλησάν με· Αχιαχαρος δὲ ἔτρεφέν με, ἕως οὗ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὴν Ἑλυμαίδα. | ||
| 11 | Then my wife Anna earned money at women's work. | A family quarrel. Tob.2.11-14 | Καὶ ἡ γυνή μου Αννα ἠριθεύετο ἐν τοῖς γυναικείοις· | |
| 12 | She used to send the product to the owners. Once when they paid her wages, they also gave her a kid; | καὶ ἀπέστελλε τοῖς κυρίοις, καὶ ἀπέδωκαν αὐτῇ καὶ αὐτοὶ τὸν μισθὸν προσδόντες καὶ ἔριφον. | ||
| 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." | ὅτε δὲ ἦλθεν πρός με, ἤρξατο κράζειν· καὶ εἶπα αὐτῇ Πόθεν τὸ ἐρίφιον; μὴ κλεψιμαῖόν ἐστιν; ἀπόδος αὐτὸ τοῖς κυρίοις· οὐ γὰρ θεμιτόν ἐστιν φαγεῖν κλεψιμαῖον. | ||
| 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!" | ἡ δὲ εἶπεν Δῶρον δέδοταί μοι ἐπὶ τῷ μισθῷ. καὶ οὐκ ἐπίστευον αὐτῇ καὶ ἔλεγον ἀποδιδόναι αὐτὸ τοῖς κυρίοις καὶ ἠρυθρίων πρὸς αὐτήν· ἡ δὲ ἀποκριθεῖσα εἶπέν μοι Ποῦ εἰσιν αἱ ἐλεημοσύναι σου καὶ αἱ δικαιοσύναι σου; ἰδοὺ γνωστὰ πάντα μετὰ σοῦ. - | ||
