Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Cumque reverterentur, pervenerunt ad Charan, quæ est in medio itinere contra Niniven, undecimo die. ² Dixitque angelus: Tobia frater, scis quemadmodum reliquisti patrem tuum. ³ Si placet itaque tibi, præcedamus, et lento gradu sequantur iter nostrum familiæ, simul cum conjuge tua, et cum animalibus. ⁴ 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. ⁵ Anna autem sedebat secus viam quotidie in supercilio montis, unde respicere poterat de longinquo. ⁶ 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. ⁷ 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. ⁸ 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. ⁹ Tunc præcucurrit canis, qui simul fuerat in via: et quasi nuntius adveniens, blandimento suæ caudæ gaudebat. ¹⁰ Et consurgens cæcus pater ejus, cœpit offendens pedibus currere: et data manu puero, occurrit obviam filio suo. ¹¹ Et suscipiens osculatus est eum cum uxore sua, et cœperunt ambo flere præ gaudio. ¹² Cumque adorassent Deum, et gratias egissent, consederunt. ¹³ Tunc sumens Tobias de felle piscis, linivit oculos patris sui. ¹⁴ Et sustinuit quasi dimidiam fere horam: et cœpit albugo ex oculis ejus, quasi membrana ovi, egredi. ¹⁵ Quam apprehendens Tobias, traxit ab oculis ejus: statimque visum recepit. ¹⁶ Et glorificabant Deum, ipse videlicet et uxor ejus, et omnes qui sciebant eum. ¹⁷ Dicebatque Tobias: Benedico te, Domine Deus Israël, quia tu castigasti me, et tu salvasti me: et ecce ego video Tobiam filium meum. ¹⁸ Ingressa est etiam post septem dies Sara uxor filii ejus et omnis familia sana, et pecora, et cameli, et pecunia multa uxoris; sed et illa pecunia, quam receperat a Gabelo. ¹⁹ Et narravit parentibus suis omnia beneficia Dei, quæ fecisset circa eum per hominem qui eum duxerat. ²⁰ Veneruntque Achior et Nabath consobrini Tobiæ gaudentes ad Tobiam, et congratulantes ei de omnibus bonis quæ circa illum ostenderat Deus. ²¹ Et per septem dies epulantes, omnes cum gaudio magno gavisi sunt.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ After these thinges Tobias went his way, praysing God that hee had giuen him a prosperous iourney, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till he drewe neere to Nineue. ² Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, howe thou diddest leaue thy father. ³ Let vs haste before thy wife, and prepare the house, ⁴ And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog followed them. ⁵ Nowe Anna sate in the way looking for her sonne, ⁶ Whom when she sawe comming, she sayd to his father, Behold, thy sonne cometh, and the man that went with him. ⁷ Then sayd Raphael, I knowe, Tobias, that thy father shall receiue his sight. ⁸ Therefore anoynt his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub and make the whitenesse to fall away, and shall see thee. ⁹ Then Anna ranne foorth, and fell on the necke of her sonne, and sayde vnto him, Seeing I haue seene thee, my sonne, from henceforth I am content to die, and they wept both. ¹⁰ Tobit also went forth toward the doore, and stumbled, but his sonne ranne vnto him. ¹¹ And tooke hold of his father and sprinkled of the gall on his fathers eyes, saying, Bee of good hope, my father. ¹² And when his eyes began to pricke, he rubbed them. ¹³ And the whitenes pilled away from the corners of his eyes, and when he sawe his sonne, he fell vpon his necke, ¹⁴ And hee wept and sayde, Blessed art thou, O Lorde, and blessed be thy Name for euer, and blessed be all thine holy Angels. ¹⁵ For thou hast scourged me, and hast had pitie on me: for beholde, I see my sonne Tobias: and his sonne, being glad went in, and tolde his father the great things that had come to passe in Media. ¹⁶ Then Tobit went out to meete his daughter in lawe, reioycing and praysing God to the gate of Nineue and they which saw him go, marueiled, because he had receiued his sight. ¹⁷ But Tobit testified before the al, that God had had pitie on him; when he came neere to Sarra his daughter in lawe, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee vnto vs, and blessed be thy father: and there was great ioy among all his brethren which were at Nineue. ¹⁸ And Achiacharus and Nasbas his brothers sonne came. ¹⁹ And Tobias marriage was kept seuen dayes with great ioy.

Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ As they nowe were going homeward againe, vpon the eleuenth day they came to Charran, which lyeth in the halfe way toward Niniue. ² And the angell saide: Brother Tobias, thou knowest how thou hast left thy father: ³ Therfore if it please thee, we two wyl go before, and let the housholde with thy wyfe & the cattaile come faire and softly after vs. ⁴ And when Tobias was content that they should go before, Raphael said vnto him: Take of the gal of the fishe with thee, for it shall be necessary. So Tobias toke of the gall, and they went their way. ⁵ But Anna the mother of Tobias sate dayly by the way side vpon the toppe of an hill, from whence she might see farre about her. ⁶ And whyle she was wayting there for his comming, she loked a farre of, and anone she perceaued her sonne comming, and ranne and tolde her husband, saying: beholde thy sonne commeth. ⁷ And Raphael saide vnto Tobias: Assoone as thou commest into the house, immediatly worship the lorde thy God, and geue thankes vnto him: then go to thy father, and kisse hym, ⁸ And straight wayes strike his eyes ouer with the gall of the fishe that thou hast brought with thee: For be sure that his eyes shall straight way be opened, and thy father shall see the light of heauen, and shal reioyce at the sight of thee. ⁹ Then the dogge that had ben with them in their iourney, ranne before, and came as a messenger, and wagged his tayle for gladnesse. ¹⁰ So the blynde father arose, and began to runne, and stumbled with his feete: and gaue a seruaunt his hand, & ranne to meete his sonne, ¹¹ Receaued him, and kissed him, he and his wyfe, and they both began to weepe for ioy. ¹² Now when they had worshipped and thanked God, they sat downe. ¹³ Then tooke Tobias of the fishes gall, and annoynted his fathers eyes: ¹⁴ And taryed halfe an houre, and then began the blemishe to go out of his eyes, lyke as it had ben the white skinne of an egge: ¹⁵ Which Tobias tooke, and drew from his eyes, and immediatly he receaued his sight. ¹⁶ Then they praysed God, he and his wyfe, and all they that knew him. ¹⁷ And Tobias saide: O Lorde God of Israel I geue thee prayse & thankes, for thou hast chastened me, & made me whole: And lo, nowe do I see my sonne Tobias. ¹⁸ After seuen dayes, came Sara his sonnes wyfe also whole and sound, with all the housholde and cattaile, with camels, & much money of his wyues, and with the money that he had receaued of Gabelus. ¹⁹ And he tolde his father and his mother all the benefites which God had done for him by the man that led him. ²⁰ Achior also and Nabath Tobias sister sonnes came, and were glad, and reioyced with him, by reason of all the good thinges that God had shewed vnto him: And so for the space of seuen dayes they made mery, and were right ioyfull euery one.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And as they were returning they came to Charan, which is in the midway to Ninive, the eleventh day. ² And the angel said: Brother Tobias, thou knowest how thou didst leave thy father. ³ If it please thee therefore, let us go before, and let the family follow softly after us, together with thy wife, and with the beasts. ⁴ And 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. ⁵ But Anna sat beside the way daily, on the top of a hill, from whence she might see afar off. ⁶ And 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. ⁷ And 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. ⁸ And 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. ⁹ Then 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. ¹⁰ And 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. ¹¹ And receiving him kissed him, as did also his wife, and they began to weep for joy. ¹² And when they had adored God, and given him thanks, they sat down together. ¹³ Then Tobias taking of the gall of the fish, anointed his father's eyes. ¹⁴ And he stayed about half an hour: and a white skin began to come out of his eyes, like the skin of an egg. ¹⁵ And Tobias took hold of it, and drew it from his eyes, and immediately he recovered his sight. ¹⁶ And they glorified God, both he and his wife and all that knew them. ¹⁷ And Tobias said: I bless thee, O Lord God of Israel, because thou hast chastised me, and thou hast saved me: and behold I see Tobias my son. ¹⁸ And after seven days Sara his son's wife, and all the family arrived safe, and the cattle, and the camels, and an abundance of money of his wife's: and that money also which he had received of Gabelus: ¹⁹ And he told his parents all the benefits of God, which he had done to him by the man that conducted him. ²⁰ And Achior and Nabath the kinsmen of Tobias came, rejoicing for Tobias, and congratulating with him for all the good things that God had done for him. ²¹ And for seven days they feasted and rejoiced all with great joy.
