Let us run ahead of your wife and prepare the house.
And take by hand the gall of the fish. And they went, and the dog came along behind them.
And Anna was sitting, looking around toward the road for her child.
καὶ προσενόησεν αὐτὸν ἐρχόμενον καὶ εἶπεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός σου ἔρχεται καὶ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ πορευθεὶς μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ
And she noticed him coming and said to his father, Behold, your son is coming, and the man who went with him.
And Raphael said, I know that your father will open his eyes.
σὺ οὖν ἔγχρισον τὴν χολὴν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ δηχθεὶς διατρίψει καὶ ἀποβαλεῖ τὰ λευκώματα καὶ ὄψεταί σε
So then, anoint his eyes with the gall, and, having been stung, he will rub them and cast off the white films, and he will see you.
καὶ προσδραμοῦσα Αννα ἐπέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτῆς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ εἶδόν σε παιδίον ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν ἀποθανοῦμαι καὶ ἔκλαυσαν ἀμφότεροι

And Tobit was going out toward the door and was stumbling, and the son ran up to him
καὶ ἐπελάβετο τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ προσέπασεν τὴν χολὴν ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ λέγων θάρσει πάτερ
And he took hold of his father and spread the gall upon his father’s eyes, saying, Take courage, father.
ὡς δὲ συνεδήχθησαν διέτριψε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλεπίσθη ἀπὸ τῶν κανθῶν τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ λευκώματα
And when they had chided one another, he rubbed his eyes, and the white scales were peeled off from the corners of his eyes.
And seeing his son, he fell upon his neck and wept and said
εὐλογητὸς εἶ ὁ θεός καὶ εὐλογητὸν τὸ ὄνομά σου εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας καὶ εὐλογημένοι πάντες οἱ ἅγιοί σου ἄγγελοι ὅτι ἐμαστίγωσας καὶ ἠλέησάς με ἰδοὺ βλέπω Τωβιαν τὸν υἱόν μου
Blessed are you, O God, and blessed is your name forever, and blessed are all your holy angels, because you chastised me and had mercy on me. Behold, I see Tobias my son.
καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ μεγαλεῖα τὰ γενόμενα αὐτῷ ἐν τῇ Μηδίᾳ
And his son entered in rejoicing and reported to his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Τωβιτ εἰς συνάντησιν τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ χαίρων καὶ εὐλογῶν τὸν θεὸν πρὸς τῇ πύλῃ Νινευη καὶ ἐθαύμαζον οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτὸν πορευόμενον ὅτι ἔβλεψεν καὶ Τωβιτ ἐξωμολογεῖτο ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ὅτι ἠλέησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός
And Tobit went out to meet his daughter-in-law, rejoicing and blessing God, by the gate of Nineveh, and those who saw him going marveled, because he saw, and Tobit was confessing before them that God had shown him mercy.
καὶ ὡς ἤγγισεν Τωβιτ Σαρρα τῇ νύμφῃ αὐτοῦ κατευλόγησεν αὐτὴν λέγων ἔλθοις ὑγιαίνουσα θύγατερ εὐλογητὸς ὁ θεός ὃς ἤγαγέν σε πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ ὁ πατήρ σου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ σου
And when Tobit came near to Sarah his daughter-in-law, he blessed her, saying, May you come in good health, daughter; blessed is God, who has brought you to us, and your father and your mother.
And there was joy for all his brothers who were in Nineveh.
καὶ παρεγένετο Αχιαχαρος καὶ Νασβας ὁ ἐξάδελφος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤχθη ὁ γάμος Τωβια μετ᾿ εὐφροσύνης ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας
And Achiacharos and Nasbas his cousin came, and the marriage of Tobias was brought about with gladness for seven days.
