chapter 9
1
Then
Tobias called the angel to him, whom he took to be a man, and said to him:
Brother Azarias, I pray thee hearken to my words:
2 If I should give myself to be thy servant I should
not make a worthy return for thy care.
3 However, I beseech thee, to take with thee beasts and
servants, and to go to Gabelus to Rages the city of the Medes: and to restore
to him his note of hand, and receive of him the money, and desire him to come
to my wedding.
4 For thou knowest that my father numbereth the days:
and if I stay one day more, his soul will be afflicted.
5 And indeed thou seest how Raguel hath adjured me,
whose adjuring I cannot despise.
6 Then Raphael took four of Raguel's servants, and two
camels, and went to Rages the city of the Medes: and finding Gabelus, gave him
his note of hand, and received of him all the money.
7 And he told him concerning Tobias the son of Tobias,
all that had been done: and made him come with him to the wedding.
8 And when he was come into Raguel's house he found
Tobias sitting at the table: and he leaped up, and they kissed each other: and
Gabelus wept, and blessed God,
9 And said: The God of Israel bless thee, because thou
art the son of a very good and just man, and that feareth God, and doth
almsdeeds:
10 And may a blessing come upon thy wife and upon your
parents.
11 And may you see your children, and your children's
children, unto the third and fourth generation: and may your seed be blessed by
the God of Israel, who reigneth for ever and ever.
12 And when all had said, Amen, they went to the feast:
but the marriage feast they celebrated also with the fear of the Lord.
