| [1]Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him, |
[1]Then Tobias called vnto him the angell, who he thought to haue ben a man, and saide vnto him: Brother Azarias, I pray thee hearken vnto my wordes, |
| [2]Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding. |
[2]If I shoulde geue my selfe to be thy seruaunt, I shall not deserue thy prouidence. |
| [3]For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart. |
[3]Neuerthelesse, I beseche thee that thou wilt take the beastes and the seruauntes, & go vnto Gabelus in Rages the citie of the Medes, and delyuer him his hand writing, and receaue the money of him, and pray him to come to my mariage. |
| [4]But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry. |
[4]For thou knowest thy selfe that my father doth number the dayes: and if I tary one day to long, he wyll be sory in his minde. |
| [5]So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him. |
[5]Now seest thou how earnestly Raguel hath required me, so that I can not say him nay. |
| [6]And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias blessed his wife. |
[6]Then toke Raphael foure of Raguels seruauntes and two Camels, and went vnto Rages the citie of the Medes: And when he had founde Gabelus, he gaue him his hand writing, and receaued all the money. |
| [7]He tolde him also of Tobias the sonne of Tobi, how al thinges had happened: and caused him to come with him to the mariage. |
| [8]Now when he came into the house of Raguel, he founde Tobias sittyng at the table: and he leaped vp, & they kissed one another, and Gabelus wept, and praysed God, |
| [9]And saide: The blessing of the God of Israel haue thou, for thou art the sonne of a right vertuous and iust man, and of one that feareth God, & geueth great almes: |
| [10]And blessing haue thy wyfe, and your elders, |
| [11]That ye may see your children, and your childrens children vnto the third & fourth generation: and your seede be blessed of the God of Israel, which raigneth worlde without end. |
| [12]And when they all had sayde Amen, they went to the feast: but with the feare of the Lorde held they the feast of the mariage. |
