Rafaēls dabū naudu no Gabaēla
1 Tad Tobijs pasauca Rafaēlu un viņam sacīja: 2 “Azarija, brāli, ņem līdzi četrus mājas kalpus un divus kamieļus un dodies uz Ragiem. Ej pie Gabaēla un dod viņam ar roku rakstītu līgumu un ņem sudrabu un nes sev līdzi uz kāzu namu. 3 Jo tu zini, ka mans tēvs skaitīs dienas, un, ja es vilcināšos vienu dienu, es viņu ļoti apbēdināšu, 4 tu redzi, ko zvērēja Raguēls, un es nevaru pārkāpt viņa zvērestu.” 5 Un Rafaēls aizceļoja un četri mājas kalpi un divi kamieļi uz Ragiem mēdiešu zemē, un viņi nakšņoja pie Gabaēla, un viņš deva tam rokas rakstīto un pavēstīja tam par Tobiju, Tobita dēlu, ka viņš ir apņēmis sievu un aicina to uz kāzām. Un cēlies viņš tam noskaitīja aizzīmogotus maisiņus un visu to iepakoja. 6 Viņi devās ceļā kopā un nonāca kāzu namā. Un viņi iegāja pie Raguēla un atrada Tobiju pie galda, un viņš pielēca kājās un sveicināja, un Gabaēls raudāja un svētīja viņu ar vārdiem: “Labais un krietnais puis, labā un krietnā, taisnā un žēlsirdīgā vīra dēls, lai Kungs dod debesu svētību tev un tavai sievai, tavam sievastēvam un tavai sievasmātei, slavēts lai ir Dievs, ka esmu itin kā ieraudzījis savu brālēnu Tobitu, jo tu esi tik līdzīgs viņam.”
The Journey to Rages
1 Then Tobias called Raphael and said to him, 2 “Azarias, take four of the servants with you, and two camels, and go to Gabael's house in the town of Rages. Give him the signed document, so that he will give you the money. Then bring him back with you for the wedding feast. 3-4 You know that my father is counting the days until I come home, and he will be very upset if I am even one day late. You know, too, how Raguel insists that I must stay, and I cannot disappoint him.”
5 So Raphael and the four servants went to Rages in Media, where they stayed at Gabael's house. Raphael gave him the signed document and told him that Tobit's son Tobias had recently married, and that Gabael was invited to the wedding feast. At once Gabael counted out the bags of money, which were still sealed, and they loaded them on the camels. 6 Very early the next morning, they set out for the wedding feast. When Raphael and Gabael came to Raguel's house, they found Tobias at dinner. Tobias immediately got up and greeted Gabael. With tears in his eyes Gabael returned the greeting and added, “You are just like your honest and generous father. May the Lord in heaven bless you and your wife, your mother-in-law, and your father. Praise God! He has let me live to see my cousin Tobias, who looks so much like his father.”
