  katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE << Tobit:7 >> LXX

1 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.7.1-12Καὶ ὅτε εἰσῆλθεν εἰς Ἑκβάτανα, λέγει αὐτῷ Αζαρια ἄδελφε, ἀπάγαγέ με εὐθεῖαν πρὸς Ραγουηλ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν. καὶ ἀπήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ραγουήλου, καὶ εὗρον αὐτὸν καθήμενον παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς αὐλῆς καὶ ἐχαιρέτισαν αὐτὸν πρῶτοι, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Χαίρετε πολλά, ἀδελφοί, καὶ καλῶς ἤλθατε ὑγιαίνοντες. καὶ ἤγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
2 Then Raguel said to his wife Edna, "How much the young man resembles my cousin Tobit!"  
3 And Raguel asked them, "Where are you from, brethren?" They answered him, "We belong to the sons of Naphtali, who are captives in Nineveh."  
4 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?"  
5 They replied, "He is alive and in good health." And Tobias said, "He is my father."  
6 Then Raguel sprang up and kissed him and wept.  καὶ ἀνεπήδησεν Ραγουηλ καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτὸν καὶ ἔκλαυσεν καὶ ἐλάλησεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εὐλογία σοι γένοιτο, παιδίον, ὁ τοῦ καλοῦ καὶ ἀγαθοῦ πατρός· ὦ ταλαιπώρων κακῶν, ὅτι ἐτυφλώθη ἀνὴρ δίκαιος καὶ ποιῶν ἐλεημοσύνας. καὶ ἐπιπεσὼν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον Τωβια τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ ἔκλαυσεν.
7 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.  
8 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."

 
9 So he communicated the proposal to Raguel. And Raguel said to Tobias, "Eat, drink, and be merry;  
10 for it is your right to take my child. But let me explain the true situation to you.  καὶ ἤκουσεν Ραγουηλ τὸν λόγον καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδί Φάγε καὶ πίε καὶ ἡδέως γενοῦ τὴν νύκτα ταύτην· οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ᾧ καθήκει λαβεῖν Σαρραν τὴν θυγατέρα μου πλὴν σοῦ, ἄδελφε, ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἔχω ἐξουσίαν δοῦναι αὐτὴν ἑτέρῳ ἀνδρὶ πλὴν σοῦ, ὅτι σὺ ἔγγιστά μου· καὶ μάλα τὴν ἀλήθειάν σοι ὑποδείξω, παιδίον.
11 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."  
12 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."  καὶ εἶπεν Τωβιας Οὐ μὴ φάγω ἐντεῦθεν οὐδὲ μὴ πίω, ἕως ἂν διαστήσῃς τὰ πρὸς ἐμέ. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ραγουηλ ὅτι Ποιῶ, καὶ αὐτὴ δίδοταί σοι κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν τῆς βίβλου Μωυσέως, καὶ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κέκριταί σοι δοθῆναι· κομίζου τὴν ἀδελφήν σου. ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν σὺ ἀδελφὸς εἶ αὐτῆς καὶ αὐτὴ ἀδελφή σου· δέδοταί σοι ἀπὸ τῆς σήμερον καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ ὁ κύριος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εὐοδώσει ὑμᾶς, παιδίον, τὴν νύκτα ταύτην καὶ ποιήσαι ἐφ' ὑμᾶς ἔλεος καὶ εἰρήνην.
13 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.7.13-18καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ραγουηλ Σαρραν τὴν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ λαβόμενος τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς παρέδωκεν αὐτὴν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν Κόμισαι κατὰ τὸν νόμον καὶ κατὰ τὴν κρίσιν τὴν γεγραμμένην ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ Μωυσέως δοῦναί σοι τὴν γυναῖκα, ἔχε καὶ ἄπαγε πρὸς τὸν πατέρα σου ὑγιαίνων· καὶ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ οὐρανοῦ εὐοδώσαι ὑμῖν εἰρήνην.
14 Next he called his wife Edna, and took a scroll and wrote out the contract; and they set their seals to it.  
15 Then they began to eat.  
16 And Raguel called his wife Edna and said to her, "Sister, make up the other room, and take her into it."  
17 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,  
18 "Be brave, my child; the Lord of heaven and earth grant you joy in place of this sorrow of yours. Be brave, my daughter."

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
