Tobit 9 : 1 - 12
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. |
