E quelli dissero: Della tribù di Nepthali, degli schiavi di Ninive.And when he had spoken these wordes, he sayd: Whence are you ye yongmen our brethren?Et cum hæc dixisset, ait: Unde estis juvenes fratres nostri ? At illi dixerunt: Ex tribu Nephthali sumus, ex captivitate Ninive. 4But they said: We are of the tribe of Nephtali, of the captivity of Ninive.E Raguel disse loro: Conoscete Tobia mio fratello? E quelli dissero: Lo conosciamo.But they sayd: We are of the tribe of Nephthali, of the captiuitie of Niniue.Dixitque illis Raguel: Nostis Tobiam fratrem meum ? Qui dixerunt: Novimus. 5And Raguel said to them: Do you know Tobias my brother? And they said: We know him.E quegli parlando di lui con molta lode, l'Angelo disse a Raguele: Tobia, del quale tu parli, è il padre di costui.And Raguel sayd to them: Know you Tobias my brother? Who sayd: We know him.Cumque multa bona loqueretur de eo, dixit angelus ad Raguelem: Tobias, de quo interrogas, pater istius est. 6And when he was speaking many good things of him, the angel said to Raguel: Tobias concerning whom thou inquirest is this young man’s father.E Raguele se gli gettò addosso, e baciolle piangendo e singhiozzando sul collo di lui,And when he spake much good of him, the Angel sayd to Raguel: Tobias, of whom thou askest is this mans father.Et misit se Raguel, et cum lacrimis osculatus est eum, et plorans supra collum ejus 7And Raguel went to him, and kissed him with tears and weeping upon his neck, said: A blessing be upon thee, my son, because thou art the son of a good and most virtuous man.E disse. Sii tu benedetto, figliuol mio, che se rampollo di un uomo dabbene, e ottimo.And Raguel put forth him selfe, and with teares kissed him, and weeping vpon his necke, sayd: Blessing haue thou my sonne, because thou art the sonne of a good and most vertuous man.dixit: Benedictio sit tibi, fili mi, quia boni et optimi viri filius es.

8And Anna his wife, and Sara their daughter wept.E Anna sua moglie, e Sara sua figlia piangevano.And Anna his wife, and Sara theyr daughter wept.Et Anna uxor ejus, et Sara ipsorum filia, lacrimatæ sunt. 9And after they had spoken, Raguel commanded a sheep to be killed, and a feast to be prepared. And when he desired them to sit down to dinner,E dopo vari discorsi ordinò Raguele, che si uccidesse un ariete, e si ammannisse il convito; e pregandoli di porsi, a mensaAnd after they had talked, Raguel commanded a wether to be killed, and a banket to be prepared. And when he desired them to sitte downe to dinner,Postquam autem locuti sunt, præcepit Raguel occidi arietem, et parari convivium. Cumque hortaretur eos discumbere ad prandium, 10Tobias said: I will not eat nor drink here this day, unless thou first grant me my petition, and promise to give me Sara thy daughter.Tobia disse: io oggi qui non mangerò, e non berò, se tu prima non mi concedi la mia richiesta, e non mi prometti di darmi Sara tua figlia per moglie.Tobias said: I wil not eate nor drinke here this day, vnlesse thou first assure my petition, and promise to geue me Sara thy daughter.Tobias dixit: Hic ego hodie non manducabo neque bibam, nisi prius petitionem meam confirmes, et promittas mihi dare Saram filiam tuam. 11Now when Raguel heard this he was afraid, knowing what had happened to those seven husbands, that went in unto her: and he began to fear lest it might happen to him also in like manner: and as he was in suspense, and gave no answer to his petition,Udito ciò Raguele restò senza fiato, sapendo quel che era avvenuto a que' sette mariti, che si erano accostati a lei: e cominciò a temere, che lo stesso non accadesse anche a questo: e mentre egli titubava senza dare veruna risposta.Which word Raguel hearing, was sore afrayd, knowing what had chanced to those seuen husbands, which went in vnto her: and he began to feare lest perhaps it might chance to him also in like maner: and when he doubted, and gaue no answer to him demanding,Quo audito verbo Raguel expavit, sciens quid evenerit illis septem viris qui ingressi sunt ad eam: et timere cœpit ne forte et hunc similiter contingeret. Et cum nutaret, et non daret petenti ullum responsum, 12The angel said to him: Be not afraid to give her to this man, for to him who feareth God is thy daughter due to be his wife: therefore another could not have her.L'Angelo gli disse: Non temere di darla a questo, perchè a lui, che teme Dio dee darsi la tua figliuola per moglie: per questo non ha potuto averla nissun altro.the Angel sayd to him: Feare not to geue her to this man, for to him fearing God is thy daughter dewe to be his wife: therfore an other could not haue her.dixit ei angelus: Noli timere dare eam isti, quoniam huic timenti Deum debetur conjux filia tua: propterea alius non potuit habere illam.

13Then Raguel said: I doubt not but God hath regarded my prayers and tears in his sight.Allora disse Raguele: Io non dubito, che il Signore abbia ammesse al suo cospetto le mie orazioni, e le mie lacrime.Then sayd Raguel: I doubt not but God hath admitted my prayers and teares in his sight.Tunc dixit Raguel: Non dubito quod Deus preces et lacrimas meas in conspectu suo admiserit. 14And I believe he hath therefore made you come to me, that this maid might be married to one of her own kindred, according to the law of Moses: and now doubt not but I will give her to thee.E credo, che per questo vi ha fatti venire a mia casa, affinchè questa si sposi ad uomo di sua cognazione secondo la legge di Mosè; ora tu non dubitare, che io te la darò.And I beleue that therfore he hath made you come to me, that this mayde might be ioyned to her kinred, according to the law of Moyses: and now haue no doubt but I wil deliuer her to thee.Et credo quoniam ideo fecit vos venire ad me, ut ista conjungeretur cognationi suæ secundum legem Moysi: et nunc noli dubium gerere quod tibi eam tradam. 15And taking the right hand of his daughter, he gave it into the right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob be with you, and may he join you together, and fulfil his blessing in you.E presa la destra della sua figlia, la pose nella man destra di Tobia, dicendo: Il Dio d'Abramo, e il Dio d'Isacco, e il Dio Giacobbe sia con voi, ed ei vi congiunga, e adempia in voi la sua benedizione.And taking his daughter by the right hand, gaue it into the right hand of Tobias, saying: The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob be with you, and he ioyne you together, and fulfil his blessing in you.Et apprehendens dexteram filiæ suæ, dexteræ Tobiæ tradidit, dicens: Deus Abraham, et Deus Isaac, et Deus Jacob vobiscum sit, et ipse conjungat vos, impleatque benedictionem suam in vobis. 16And taking paper they made a writing of the marriage.E presa la carta, fecero la scrittura di matrimonio.And taking paper they made a writing of the mariage.Et accepta carta, fecerunt conscriptionem conjugii. 17And afterwards they made merry, blessing God.E dipoi fecero il banchetto, benedicendo Dio.And after these things they made merie, blessing God.Et post hæc epulati sunt, benedicentes Deum. 18And Raguel called to him Anna his wife, and bade her to prepare another chamber.E Raguele chiamò Anna sua moglie, e le ordinò di preparare un'altra camera.And Raguel called to him Anna his wife, and commanded her to prepare an other chamber.Vocavitque Raguel ad se Annam uxorem suam, et præcepit ei ut præpararet alterum cubiculum.

19And she brought Sara her daughter in thither, and she wept.E vi condusse Sara sua figlia, la quale piangeva.And she brought Sara her daughter in thither, and she wept.Et introduxit illuc Saram filiam suam, et lacrimata est. 20And she said to her: Be of good cheer, my daughter: the Lord of heaven give thee joy for the trouble thou hast undergone.Ed ei le disse: Sta di buon animo, figliuola mia; il Signore del cielo ti dia allegrezza in compensazione dei disgusti, che hai sofferti.And she sayd to her: Be of good cheere my daughter, our Lord of heauen geue thee ioy for the tediousnesse which thou hast suffered.Dixitque ei: Forti animo esto, filia mea: Dominus cæli det tibi gaudium pro tædio quod perpessa es.
