My LORD’s BibleTobias 2
3And when he had gone, returning he told him, that one of the children of Israel lay slain in the street. And he forthwith leaped up from his place at the table, and left his dinner, and came fasting to the body.
Cumque abiisset, reversus nuntiavit ei unum ex filiis Israël jugulatum jacere in platea. Statimque exiliens de accubitu suo, relinquens prandium, jejunus pervenit ad corpus:
4And taking it up carried it privately to his house, that after the sun was down, he might bury him cautiously.
tollensque illud portavit ad domum suam occulte, ut dum sol occubuisset, caute sepeliret eum.
5And when he had hid the body, he ate bread with mourning and fear,
Cumque occultasset corpus, manducavit panem cum luctu et tremore,
6Remembering the word which the Lord spoke by Amos the prophet: Your festival days shall be turned into lamentation and mourning.
memorans illum sermonem, quem dixit Dominus per Amos prophetam: Dies festi vestri convertentur in lamentationem et luctum.
7So when the sun was down, he went and buried him.
Cum vero sol occubuisset, abiit, et sepelivit eum.
8Now all his neighbours blamed him, saying: once already commandment was given for thee to be slain because of this matter, and thou didst scarce escape the sentence of death, and dost thou again bury the dead?
Arguebant autem eum omnes proximi ejus, dicentes: Jam hujus rei causa interfici jussus es, et vix effugisti mortis imperium, et iterum sepelis mortuos?
9But Tobias fearing God more than the king, carried off the bodies of them that were slain, and hid them in his house, and at midnight buried them.
Sed Tobias plus timens Deum quam regem, rapiebat corpora occisorum, et occultabat in domo sua, et mediis noctibus sepeliebat ea.
10Now it happened one day that being wearied with burying, he came to his house, and cast himself down by the wall and slept,
Contigit autem ut quadam die fatigatus a sepultura, veniens in domum suam, jactasset se juxta parietem, et obdormisset,
13For whereas he had always feared God from his infancy, and kept his commandments, he repined not against God because the evil of blindness had befallen him,
Nam cum ab infantia sua semper Deum timuerit, et mandata ejus custodierit, non est contristatus contra Deum quod plaga cæcitatis evenerit ei,
14But continued immoveable in the fear of God, giving thanks to God all the days of his life.
sed immobilis in Dei timore permansit, agens gratias Deo omnibus diebus vitæ suæ.
15For as the kings insulted over holy Job: so his relations and kinsmen mocked at his life, saying:
Nam sicut beato Job insultabant reges, ita isti parentes et cognati ejus irridebant vitam ejus, dicentes:
17But Tobias rebuked them, saying: Speak not so:
Tobias vero increpabat eos, dicens: Nolite ita loqui:
18For we are the children of saints, and look for that life which God will give to those that never change their faith from him.
quoniam filii sanctorum sumus, et vitam illam expectamus, quam Deus daturus est his qui fidem suam numquam mutant ab eo.
20Whereby it came to pass, that she received a young kid, and brought it home:
Unde factum est ut hædum caprarum accipiens detulisset domi:
21And when her husband heard it bleating, he said: Take heed, lest perhaps it be stolen: restore ye it to its owners, for it is not lawful for us either to eat or to touch any thing that cometh by theft.
cujus cum vocem balantis vir ejus audisset, dixit: Videte, ne forte furtivus sit: reddite eum dominis suis, quia non licet nobis aut edere ex furto aliquid, aut contingere.
22At these words his wife being angry answered: It is evident thy hope is come to nothing, and thy alms now appear.
Ad hæc uxor ejus irata respondit: Manifeste vana facta est spes tua, et eleemosynæ tuæ modo apparuerunt.
23And with these and other, such like words she upbraided him.
Atque his et aliis hujuscemodi verbis exprobrabat ei.
