1And as they were returning they came to Charan, which is in the midway to Ninive, the eleventh day.Or ritornando indietro giunsero l'undecimo giorno a Charan, la quale è a mezza strada dirimpetto a Ninive.AND when they returned they came to Charan, which is in the middeway agaynst Niniue, the eleuenth day.Cumque reverterentur, pervenerunt ad Charan, quæ est in medio itinere contra Niniven, undecimo die. 2And the angel said: Brother Tobias, thou knowest how thou didst leave thy father.E l'Angelo disse: Fratello Tobia, tu sai in quale stato lasciasti il padre tuo.And the Angel said Brother Tobias thou knowest how thou didest leaue thy farher.Dixitque angelus: Tobia frater, scis quemadmodum reliquisti patrem tuum. 3If it please thee therefore, let us go before, and let the family follow softly after us, together with thy wife, and with the beasts.Quindi, se così ti piace andiam noi innanzi, e la famiglia a lento passo ci segua insieme colla tua moglie, e cogli animali.If it please thee therfore, let vs goe be ore, and let the families folow softly after vs, together with thy wife, and with the beastes.Si placet itaque tibi, præcedamus, et lento gradu sequantur iter nostrum familiæ, simul cum conjuge tua, et cum animalibus. 4And as this their going pleased him, Raphael said to Tobias: Take with thee of the gall of the fish, for it will be necessary. So Tobias took some of that gall and departed.Ed essendo risoluti di andare, disse Raphaele a Tobia: prendi teco del fiele di pesce, perocchè ti verrà a taglio: e Tobia prese di quel fiele, e partirono.And when this pleased him that they should goe, Raphael said to Tobias: Take with thee of the gal of the fish: for it shal be necessarie. Tobias therfore tooke of that gal and they departed.Cumque hoc placuisset ut irent, dixit Raphaël ad Tobiam: Tolle tecum ex felle piscis: erit enim necessarium. Tulit itaque Tobias ex felle illo, et abierunt. 5But Anna sat beside the way daily, on the top of a hill, from whence she might see afar off.Or Anna stava sedendo ogni dì lungo la strada sulla cima di una collina, donde potea vedere in molta distanza.But Anna sate beside the way dayly, in the toppe of a hil, from whence she might see afar of.Anna autem sedebat secus viam quotidie in supercilio montis, unde respicere poterat de longinquo. 6And while she watched his coming from that place, she saw him afar off, and presently perceived it was her son coming: and returning she told her husband, saying: Behold thy son cometh.E mentre stava colà alle vedette aspettandolo, vide da lungi, e riconobbe il suo figliuolo, e corse a darne la nuova al marito dicendo: È qua tuo figlio che viene.And whiles she watched his coming out of that place, she saw afar of, and by and by perceiued her sonne coming: and running she told her husband saying: Behold thy sonne cometh.Et dum ex eodem loco specularetur adventum ejus, vidit a longe, et illico agnovit venientem filium suum: currensque nuntiavit viro suo, dicens: Ecce venit filius tuus.

7And Raphael said to Tobias: As soon as thou shalt come into thy house, forthwith adore the Lord thy God: and giving thanks to him, go to thy father, and kiss him.E Raphaele disse a Tobia: Or quando tu sarai entrato in casa tua, subito adora il Signore Dio tuo, e rendute a lui le grazie, accostati al padre tuo, e bacialo:And Raphael said to Tobias But when thou art entred into thy house forthwith adore our Lord thy God: and geuing thankes to him goe to thy father, and kisse him.Dixitque Raphaël ad Tobiam: At ubi introieris domum tuam, statim adora Dominum Deum tuum: et gratias agens ei, accede ad patrem tuum, et osculare eum. 8And immediately anoint his eyes with this gall of the fish, which thou carriest with thee. For be assured that his eyes shall be presently opened, and thy father shall see the light of heaven, and shall rejoice in the sight of thee.E tosto stropiccia gli occhi di lui con quel fiele del pesce, che hai teco, perocchè tu dei sapere, che immediatamente si apriranno i suoi occhi, e il padre tuo vedrà la luce del cielo, e giubbilerà in veggendoti.And immediatly annointe vpon his eies of this gal of the fish, which thou cariest with thee. For know thou that forthwith his eies shal be opened, and thy father shal see the light of heauen, and shal reioice in the sight of thee.Statimque lini super oculos ejus ex felle isto piscis, quod portas tecum: scias enim quoniam mox aperientur oculi ejus, et videbit pater tuus lumen cæli, et in aspectu tuo gaudebit. 9Then the dog, which had been with them in the way, ran before, and coming as if he had brought the news, shewed his joy by his fawning and wagging his tail.Allora il cane, che gli avea seguitati nel viaggio corse innanzi, e quasi venisse apportator di buona novella, faceva sesta, menando in giro la sua coda.Then ranne the dogge before, which had beene with them in the way, and coming as it were a messenger with the fawning of his tayle reioysed.Tunc præcucurrit canis, qui simul fuerat in via: et quasi nuntius adveniens, blandimento suæ caudæ gaudebat. 10And his father that was blind, rising up, began to run stumbling with his feet: and giving a servant his hand, went to meet his son.E alzatosi il padre cieco si pose a correre inciampando co' piedi; ma preso per mano un servo, andò incontro al figliuolo.And his father that was blind rysing vp, began to runne stumbling with his feete: and geuing a seruant his hand, went to meete his sonne.Et consurgens cæcus pater ejus, cœpit offendens pedibus currere: et data manu puero, occurrit obviam filio suo.
