English: Bless the Lord thy God alway, and desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.
Coptic: τενου cε ιταμο μμοκ επμητ νcινcωρ νhατ νταιcαλωου εγαβαηλ. πsηρε νγαβρια. hν hραγοσ ντε τμηδια.

Coptic: αλλα ειναjι πμητ νcινcωρ ναsνhε νεισοουν αν μπρωμε.
English: But how can I receive the money, seeing I know him not?
Coptic: αfι δε ναf μπxιλογραφον. αυω πεjαf ναf jε κωτε νσα ουρωμε. ετρεfει νμμακ. αυω ειναι ναf μπεfβεκε. hοσ ον ειονh νγβωκ νγjι ννhομντ.

English: And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before: for a wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no body, but those which come unto her; wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father’s and my mother’s life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for they have no other son to bury them.
Coptic: πεjαf δε ναf νcι παγγελοσ jε νγρπμεευε αν ννsαjε νεντα πεκειωτ jοου νακ ετρεκjι σhιμε νακ εβολ hμ πεκγενοσ. τενου cε σωτμ ναι πασον jε σναsωπε νακ νσhιμε. αυω μπρρhοτε λααυ ετβε πρεfsοορ. jε hν τειουsη σεναταασ νακ νσhιμε.
English: Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.
Coptic: αυω εκsαννου εβωκ εhουν επμα νsελεετ. jι νhενjββεσ νsουhηνε. νγκω μπhητ μν πhηπαρ μπτβτ νγτρε πμαsεs στοι εβολ hαροου.
English: And when thou shalt come into the marriage chamber, thou shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay upon them some of the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke with it:
Coptic: αυω πδαιμωνιον fναsωλμ επεστοι νfπωτ νfτμκοτf sα ενεh νενεh. εκsαννουεsic δε ει μπεκουοει εροσ. τουντηυτν hι ουσοπ ντετνωs εhραι επναητ μπνουτε. αυω fναhαρεh ερωτν. νfνα νητν. μπρρhοτε jε νταυσβτωτσ νακ jιν μπαιων.
English: And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning;
Coptic: αυω ντοκ πετνατουjοσ νσουαhσ νσωκ. αυω ειjω μμοσ jε ουν ουsηρε ναsωπε νακ εβολ νhητσ. αυω ντερε τωβιασ σωτμ εναι αfουαsσ αυω α τεfψυxη μουρ εhουν. εροσ μματε.
English: and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually joined to her.
Coptic: αυω πεjε hρακουηλ νhεδνα τεfσhιμε. jε εsjε πειsηρε sημ ειρειαh ετωβιτ παsνουα.
English: Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin!
Coptic: αυω hραγουηλ αfjνουου jε νεσνηυ ντετν hεν εβολ των. πεjαυ ναf jε αν hεν εβολ hν νsηρε νεφθαλειμ ενταυαιxμαλωτιzε μμοου ενινευη.
English: And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve.
Coptic: πεjαf ναυ jε τετνσοουν ντωβιτ πενσον. ντοου δε πεjαυ jε σε. πεjαf ναυ jε ενεfουοj.

English: Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept,
Coptic: αυω αfσμου εροf εfjω μμοσ ναf jε ω παsηρε μπρωμε ετνανουf αυω ναγαθοσ. αυω ντερεfσωτμ jε τωβιτ αfρβλλε αfμκαh νhητ αfριμε.
English: And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.
Coptic: αυω hετνα τεfσhιμε μν τεfsεερε σαρρα αυριμε hωου. αυω αfsοπ εhουν εροου. αυω αυπροτιθει ναυ νουειλε νεσοου. αυω αυκα ευμηηsε ντβτ ερωου. πεjε τωβιασ νhραφαηλ. jε αzαρια πασον sαjε ετβε νεντανjοου hν πτρενμοοsε. αυω μαρεfjωκ εβολ.
English: And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept. Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.
Coptic: αυτααυε ννsαjε δε εhραγουηλ. αυω πεjε hραγουηλ ντωβιασ jε ουωμ νγσω νγουνοf.
English: So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:
Coptic: εστο γαρ νακ εjι ταsεερε ειναταμοκ ετμε.
English: For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth.
Coptic: αυω αfμουτε εσαρρα τεfsεερε αfαμαhτε ντεσcιj αfπαραδιδου μμοσ ντωβιασ νσhιμε. πεjαf ναf jε εισ hηητε κατα πνομοσ μμωυσησ jιτσ νακ νγjιτσ ερατf μπεκειωτ. αυω αfσμου εροου.
English: Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;
Coptic: αυω ασειρε κατα θε ενταfjοοσ νασ ασjιτσ εhουν εμαυ. ασριμε δε νcι τεσsεερε. αυω τεσμααυ ασfετ νεσρμειοουε εσjω μμοσ νασ
English: Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her,
Coptic: jε τωκ νhητ ταsεερε. πjοεισ ντπε μν πκαh εfει νε νουραsε επμα ντειλυπη. τωκ νhητ ταsεερε
English: Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.
Coptic: ντερουsωτμ δε ερωου μπεσναυ. αfτωουν νcι τωβιασ hιjμ πεcλοc πεjαf νασ jε τωουνε τασωνε ντνsληλ jεκασ ερε πjοεισ να ναν
English: And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us.
Coptic: αυω αfουωsβ νασ νcι τωβιασ εfjω μμοσ jε κσμαμαατ πνουτε ννενειοτε. αυω fσμαμαατ νcι πεκραν ουααβ αυω ετhαεοου sα νιενεh. μαρουσμου εροου νcι μπηυε μν νεκσωντ τηρου.
English: Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.
Coptic: ντοκ ακταμιε αδαμ αυω ακι ναf νουβοηθοσ ετε ευhατε ετεfσhιμε ναf. εβολ hν ναι αυjπο μπεσπερμα ντμντρωμε. ντοκ ακjοοσ jε νανου πρωμε αν ετρεfcω μαυαατf. μαρνταμιο ναf νουβοηθοσ κατα ροf.
English: Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.
Coptic: αυω πεjασ νμμαf jε hαμην.
English: And she said with him, Amen.
Coptic: αυω αυνκοτκ hι ουσοπ ντευsη. hραγουηλ δε αfτωουν αfβωκ αfcεj ουβη.
English: So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,
Coptic: εfjω μμοσ jε μηπωσ ντε πεικε μου.
English: Saying, I fear lest he also be dead.
Coptic: αυω hραγουηλ αfει εhραι επεfηι.
English: But when Raguel was come into his house,
Coptic: πεjαf νhεδνα τεfσhιμε jε jευ ουει ννhμhαλ νσναυ jε fονh. εsωπε δε μμον jε ετομσf ντετμ λααυ ειμε.
English: He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.
Coptic: αυω θμhαλ ασουων ασναυ εhουν εροου ευοβs μπεσναυ.
English: So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them both asleep,
Coptic: αυω hραγουηλ αfσμου επνουτε hν σμου νιμ εfτββηυ αυωsic ευουααβ εfjω μμοσ jε κσμαμαατ ντοκ πνουτε hν σμου νιμ. μαρουσμου εροκ νcι νεκπετουααβ. αυω νεκσωντ τηρου μν νεκαγγελοσ μν νεκσωτπ μαρουσμου εροκ εναιων τηρου.
English: Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.
Coptic: κσμαμαατ jε ακευφρανε μμοι αυω μπε hωβ ταhοι κατα πειμεευε εροf. αλλα κατα πεκνα ετναsωf εντακααf ναν.
English: Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.
Coptic: κσμαμαατ jε ακsνhτηκ hα πειsηρε νουωτ σναυ. πjοεισ αρι πεκνα νμμαυ νγjεκ πευαhε εβολ hν ουουjαι μν ουμντsανhτηf μν ουνα.
English: Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.
Coptic: αfουεhσαhνε δε ννεfhμhαλ ετρευhεσ τβη.
English: Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.
Coptic: αυω αfρ ουsελεετ ναυ μμνταfτε νhοου.
English: And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.
Coptic: hραγουηλ δε αfsαjε νμμαf εαfταρκοf jεκασ εννεfμοοsε εμπατουjωκ εβολ νcι νμνταfτε νhοου ντsελεετ.
English: For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;
Coptic: μννσωου νfjι ντπαsε ννεfhυπαρxοντα νfβωκ hν ουουjαι ερατf μπεfειωτ. hνκοουε δε νγjιτου ειsανμου ανοκ μν τασhιμε.
English: And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.
Coptic: αυω τωβιασ αfμουτε εhραφαηλ πεjαf ναf
English: Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him,
Coptic: jε αzαρια πασον jι νμμακ νουhμhαλ μν cαμουλ σναυ νγβωκ εhραγοσ ντε τμηδια νγjι ννhομτ ντοοτf νγαβαηλ νγντf ετsελεετ
English: Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.
Coptic: εβολ jε hραγουηλ αfταρκοι ετμρ πεfβολ.
English: For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.
Coptic: αυω παειωτ fωπ νσα νεhοου. ειsανωσκ cε fναμκαh νhητ εματε.
English: But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry.
Coptic: αυω αfντου ετsελεετ. αυσμου ετωβιασ μν τεfσhιμε.
English: And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias blessed his wife.
Coptic: αυω τωβιτ πεfειωτ αfcω εfο νροουs μπεhοου πεhοου. ντερουjωκ εβολ νcι νεhοου ετρεfει αυω μπfβωκ
English: Now Tobit his father counted every day: and when the days of the journey were expired, and they came not,
Coptic: πεjε πεfειωτ jε μεsακ ντα ουνοβε sωπε μμοf. η μεsακ ντα γαβαηλ μου. αυω μπε λααυ ει hομντ ναf.
English: Then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the money?
Coptic: αfcω εfλυπει εματε.
English: Therefore he was very sorry.
Coptic: πεjασ δε νcι τεfσhιμε jε α πsηρε sημ μου. ετβε jε αfωσκ. αυω ασουων νρωσ αστοιτ εσjω μμοσ
English: Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail him, and said,
Coptic: αυω πεjε τωβιτ νασ. jε καρω αυω μπρρροουs. fουοj γαρ.
English: To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.
Coptic: πεjασ ναf jε μπρρhαλ μμοι. μπsηρε sημ sοοπ αν. αυω νεσβηκ μμηνε ετεhιη ενταfβωκ μμοσ. εσcεετ μπεhοου νουεs νουωμ. νευsοουε δε μεσκα τοοτσ εβολ εσjι ριμε επεσsηρε τωβιασ sαντουjωκ εβολ νcι πμνταfτε νhοου ντsελεετ ντα hραγουηλ ταρκοf ετρεfcω hαhτηf. αυω πεjε τωβιασ νhραγουηλ. jε καατ νταβωκ. εβολ jε παειωτ μν ταμααυ νσεhελπιzε αν εειορhτ jιν μπειναυ.
English: But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, (8) Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.
Coptic: πεjε πεfsομ δε ναf jε cω hαhτηι. αυω ειναjευ πουω μπεκειωτ νσεταμοf μπεντακααυ.
English: But his father in law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.

English: And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.
Coptic: τωβιασ δε αfμοοsε εfσμου επνουτε εβολ jε αfσοουτν ντεfhιη αυω νεfσμου εhραγουηλ μν hεδνα τεfσhιμε. αυω νευμοοsε sαντουπωh ενινευη.

Coptic: νγjι μπσιsε μπτβτ hν τεκcιj. αυμοοsε δε αυω πευhοορ αfπωτ hιhη μμοου.
English: And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
Coptic: αυω αννα νεσhμοοσ hν τεhιη εσεωsτ εβολ hητf μπεσsηρε
English: Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.

English: Then Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give him more.
Coptic: πεjαf ναf jε παειωτ ειπιθε ετρεκι ναf ντπαsε ννενταιντου
English: And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have brought:
Coptic: αυω αfντ νακ ειουοj αυω τασhιμε αfταλcοσ. αυω πhομντ αfντf ναι. ντοκ hομαιωσ αfθεραπευε μμοκ.
English: For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, and made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and likewise healed thee.
Coptic: πεjε πεfειωτ ναf. jε σερωsε μμοf.
English: Then the old man said, It is due unto him.
Coptic: αυω αfμουτε επαγγελοσ πεjαf ναf. jε jι ντπαsε ννενταιντου τηρου ντοκ νγβωκ hν ουουjαι.
English: So he called the angel, and he said unto him, Take half of all that ye have brought and go away in safety.
Coptic: τοτε αfμουτε εροου νcι παγγελοσ hν ουhωπ. πεjαf ναυ jε σμου επνουτε ντετνεxομολογει ναf. ντετνjισε μμοf. μπμτο εβολ ννετονh τηρου. ετβε νενταfααυ νητν. ουαγαθον πε σμου επνουτε αυω εjισε μπεfραν. νsαjε μπνουτε μν νεfhβηυε ετετνουωνh μμοου εβολ hν ουμπsα. αυω μπρjνααυ εεxομολογει ναf.
English: Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise him.
Coptic: πμυστηριον μπρρο νανου hοπf. νεhβηυε μπνουτε νανου ουονhου εβολ hν ουεοου αρι ππετνανουf. αυω μν πεθοου ναταhωτν.
English: It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is honourable to reveal the works of God. Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.
Coptic: ουαγαθον πε ουsληλ μν ουνηστια. μν ουμντνα. μν ουδικαιοσυνη. νανου πκουι ετααf hν ουδικεοσυνη. εhουε πνοc ετααf hν ουjινcονσ. νανου σερ μντνα νhουο εσευh νουβ εhουν.
English: Prayer is good with fasting and alms and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold:
Coptic: τμντνα γαρ sασνεhμ πρωμε εβολ hμ πμου. αυω ντοσ sαστββε νοβε νιμ. ντειρε ντμντνα. μν τδικαιοσυνη σενασει μπωνh.
English: For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life:
Coptic: νετρνοβε δε ευμιsε μν πευωνh.
English: But they that sin are enemies to their own life.
Coptic: νειναhεπ λααυ αν νsαjε ερωτν. αιjοοσ δε jε πμυστηριον μπρρο νανου hοπf. νεhβηυε δε μπνουτε εcολπου εβολ hν ουμπsα.
English: Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honourable to reveal the works of God.
Coptic: τενου δε ντερεκsληλ. ντοκ μν τεκsελεετ σαρρα. ανοκ πενταιjι εhραι μπρμεευε μπετνsλλ μπμτο εβολ μπετουααβ. αυω νεhοου εκτωμσ ννετμοουτ νει νμμακ ον πε.
English: Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when thou didst bury the dead, I was with thee likewise.
Coptic: αυω ντερεκτμjνααυ ετωουν εακκα πεκαριστον νσωκ. jε εκεβωκ νγωλ μπσωμα ννετμοουτ. μπεκhωπ εροι εκειρε μππετνανουf. αλλα νει νμμακ hν hωβ νιμ ετεκειρε μμοου.
English: And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave thy dinner, to go and cover the dead, thy good deed was not hid from me: but I was with thee.
Coptic: αυω τενου αfτννοουτ νcι πνουτε. εθεραπευε μμοκ. μν τεκsελεετ σαρρα.
English: And now God hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy daughter in law.
Coptic: ανοκ πε hραφαηλ. ουα εβολ hμ πσαsf ναγγελοσ ετfι εhραι. αυω ετβηκ εhουν μπμτο εβολ μπεοου μπετουααβ.
English: I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One.
Coptic: αυsτορτρ δε μπεσναυ. αυhε εhραι εjμ πευhο. εβολ jε αυρhοτε.
English: Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces: for they feared.
Coptic: πεjε παγγελοσ δε ναυ jε μπρρhοτε. ειρηνη εσεsωπε νητν πνουτε δε σμου εροf ννεhοου τηρου sα ενεh.
English: But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with you; praise God therefore.
