14 1	Here Tobit ended his words of praise.	Tobit's final advice. Tob.14.1-15
2	He was fifty-eight years old when he lost his sight, and after eight years he regained it. He gave alms, and he continued to fear the Lord God and to praise him.		Καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἐτῶν ἑκατὸν δώδεκα καὶ ἐτάφη ἐνδόξως ἐν Νινευη. καὶ ἑξήκοντα δύο ἐτῶν ἦν, ὅτε ἐγένετο ἀνάπειρος τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς, καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἀναβλέψαι αὐτὸν ἔζησεν ἐν ἀγαθοῖς καὶ ἐλεημοσύνας ἐποίησεν· καὶ ἔτι προσέθετο εὐλογεῖν τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τὴν μεγαλωσύνην τοῦ θεοῦ.
3	When he had grown very old he called his son and grandsons, and said to him, "My son, take your sons; behold, I have grown old and am about to depart this life.
4	Go to Media, my son, for I fully believe what Jonah the prophet said about Nineveh, that it will be overthrown. But in Media there will be peace for a time. Our brethren will be scattered over the earth from the good land, and Jerusalem will be desolate. The house of God in it will be burned down and will be in ruins for a time.		καὶ ἀπότρεχε εἰς Μηδίαν, ὅτι πιστεύω ἐγὼ τῷ ῥήματι τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπὶ Νινευη, ἃ ἐλάλησεν Ναουμ, ὅτι πάντα ἔσται καὶ ἀπαντήσει ἐπὶ Αθουρ καὶ Νινευη, καὶ ὅσα ἐλάλησαν οἱ προφῆται τοῦ Ισραηλ, οὓς ἀπέστειλεν ὁ θεός, πάντα ἀπαντήσει, καὶ οὐ μηθὲν ἐλαττονωθῇ ἐκ πάντων τῶν ῥημάτων, καὶ πάντα συμβήσεται τοῖς καιροῖς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐν τῇ Μηδίᾳ ἔσται σωτηρία μᾶλλον ἤπερ ἐν Ἀσσυρίοις καὶ ἐν Βαβυλῶνι· διὸ γινώσκω ἐγὼ καὶ πιστεύω ὅτι πάντα, ἃ εἶπεν ὁ θεός, συντελεσθήσεται καὶ ἔσται, καὶ οὐ μὴ διαπέσῃ ῥῆμα ἐκ τῶν λόγων· καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ ἡμῶν οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν τῇ γῇ Ισραηλ πάντες διασκορπισθήσονται καὶ αἰχμαλωτισθήσονται ἐκ τῆς γῆς τῆς ἀγαθῆς, καὶ ἔσται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ τοῦ Ισραηλ ἔρημος, καὶ Σαμάρεια καὶ Ιερουσαλημ ἔσται ἔρημος καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν λύπῃ καὶ καυθήσεται μέχρι χρόνου.
5	But God will again have mercy on them, and bring them back into their land; and they will rebuild the house of God, though it will not be like the former one until the times of the age are completed. After this they will return from the places of their captivity, and will rebuild Jerusalem in splendour. And the house of God will be rebuilt there with a glorious building for all generations for ever, just as the prophets said of it.		καὶ πάλιν ἐλεήσει αὐτοὺς ὁ θεός, καὶ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς εἰς τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ισραηλ, καὶ πάλιν οἰκοδομήσουσιν τὸν οἶκον, καὶ οὐχ ὡς τὸν πρῶτον, ἕως τοῦ χρόνου, οὗ ἂν πληρωθῇ ὁ χρόνος τῶν καιρῶν. καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἐκ τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας αὐτῶν πάντες καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν Ιερουσαλημ ἐντίμως, καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῇ οἰκοδομηθήσεται, καθὼς ἐλάλησαν περὶ αὐτῆς οἱ προφῆται τοῦ Ισραηλ.
6	Then all the Gentiles will turn to fear the Lord God in truth, and will bury their idols.
7	All the Gentiles will praise the Lord, and his people will give thanks to God, and the Lord will exalt his people. And all who love the Lord God in truth and righteousness will rejoice, showing mercy to our brethren.		πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Ισραηλ οἱ σῳζόμενοι ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις μνημονεύοντες τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ ἐπισυναχθήσονται καὶ ἥξουσιν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ καὶ οἰκήσουσιν τὸν αἰῶνα ἐν τῇ γῇ Αβρααμ μετὰ ἀσφαλείας, καὶ παραδοθήσεται αὐτοῖς· καὶ χαρήσονται οἱ ἀγαπῶντες τὸν θεὸν ἐπ' ἀληθείας, καὶ οἱ ποιοῦντες τὴν ἁμαρτίαν καὶ τὴν ἀδικίαν ἐκλείψουσιν ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς.
8	"So now, my son, leave Nineveh, because what the prophet Jonah said will surely happen.		(8/9) καὶ νῦν, παιδία, ἐγὼ ὑμῖν ἐντέλλομαι· δουλεύσατε τῷ θεῷ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ποιήσατε τὸ ἀρεστὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῖς παιδίοις ὑμῶν ἐνυποταγήσεται ποιεῖν δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ ἵνα ὦσιν μεμνημένοι τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εὐλογῶσιν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ὅλῃ τῇ ἰσχύι αὐτῶν. καὶ νῦν σύ, παιδίον, ἔξελθε ἐκ Νινευη καὶ μὴ μείνῃς ὧδε· ἐν ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ θάψῃς τὴν μητέρα σου μετ' ἐμοῦ, αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ μὴ αὐλισθῇς ἐν τοῖς ὁρίοις αὐτῆς· ὁρῶ γὰρ ὅτι πολλὴ ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ δόλος πολὺς συντελεῖται ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ οὐκ αἰσχύνονται.
9	But keep the law and the commandments, and be merciful and just, so that it may be well with you.
10	Bury me properly, and your mother with me. And do not live in Nineveh any longer. See, my son, what Nadab did to Ahikar who had reared him, how he brought him from light into darkness, and with what he repaid him. But Ahikar was saved, and the other received repayment as he himself went down into the darkness. Ahikar gave alms and escaped the deathtrap which Nadab had set for him; but Nadab fell into the trap and perished.		ἰδέ, παιδίον, ὅσα Ναδαβ ἐποίησεν Αχικάρῳ τῷ ἐκθρέψαντι αὐτόν· οὐχὶ ζῶν κατηνέχθη εἰς τὴν γῆν; καὶ ἀπέδωκεν ὁ θεὸς τὴν ἀτιμίαν κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς τὸ φῶς Αχικαρος, καὶ Ναδαβ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ σκότος τοῦ αἰῶνος, ὅτι ἐζήτησεν ἀποκτεῖναι Αχικαρον· ἐν τῷ ποιῆσαι ἐλεημοσύνην ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς παγίδος τοῦ θανάτου, ἣν ἔπηξεν αὐτῷ Ναδαβ, καὶ Ναδαβ ἔπεσεν εἰς τὴν παγίδα τοῦ θανάτου, καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτόν.
11	So now, my children, consider what almsgiving accomplishes and how righteousness delivers." As he said this he died in his bed. He was a hundred and fifty-eight years old; and Tobias gave him a magnificent funeral.
12	And when Anna died he buried her with his father. Then Tobias returned with his wife and his sons to Ecbatana, to Raguel his father-in-law.
13	He grew old with honour, and he gave his father-in-law and mother-in-law magnificent funerals. He inherited their property and that of his father Tobit.
14	He died in Ecbatana of Media at the age of a hundred and twenty-seven years.
15	But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineveh, which Nebuchadnezzar and Ahasuerus had captured. Before his death he rejoiced over Nineveh.		καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἤκουσεν πρὸ τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτὸν τὴν ἀπώλειαν Νινευη καὶ εἶδεν τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτῆς ἀγομένην εἰς Μηδίαν, ἣν ᾐχμαλώτισεν Αχιαχαρος ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς Μηδίας, καὶ εὐλόγησεν τὸν θεὸν ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐποίησεν ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Νινευη καὶ Αθουριας· ἐχάρη πρὶν τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν ἐπὶ Νινευη καὶ εὐλόγησεν κύριον τὸν θεὸν εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
